After another two months, Feng Yajian continued as usual, eating, drinking, and having fun. Zhang Erzhen looked at the calendar, today is the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and the popular saying is that it has been half a year, which shows that half of this year has passed, and it is time to celebrate. The celebration of Feng Yajian is very simple, the dishes are not very rich, and there is no chicken, duck and fish to set the table, Zhang Erzhen took out the lotus wine and poured four large bowls, and the four of them were as bold as the three knots in Taoyuan, and drank it all.

"I don't know what night it is, but I know what day it is, and the goal in the second half of the year is not to get sick and be happy!"

"Yes!" Yinqiu responded loudly, and Jinqiu hesitated to speak: "...... Last time, you ran out of things you brought back when you went out, should we go out and buy some more?"

Xiang Xiu hurriedly took out the key from her arms and was about to go to that room, Zhang Erzhen knew that if it weren't for the fact that the mechanism in that room was too heavy, Xiang Xiu couldn't lift it alone, maybe she would have gone out a long time ago. But Zhang Erzhen still shook his head, "If there is no thing, there will be no more, I have a hunch, something happened recently, let's not go out and make trouble, in case there is trouble, it will be bad." Besides, this year's snow disaster is severe, so I can't tell what the situation will be outside......"

"Concubine Fang, why have you become more cautious lately? Yinqiu muttered.

"A few more days, wait a little longer......" Zhang Erzhen poured himself full of wine again, took a sip gently, and watched the turbid liquid print his thin face, Zhang Erzhen closed his eyes, what is in a hurry, don't worry.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, everything seemed to be business as usual. In the early morning, Jin Qiu Yinqiu was busy tidying up and cleaning, Xiangxiu was still holding a broom to sweep the dead leaves in the corner, and Zhang Erzhen was writing yesterday's life on the side of the desk. Then the door of Feng Yajian was opened, not the time to eat, and the only person who opened the door could be one person. Lord Cao Shuncao, who was full of beards, walked in with a team of people, looking very excited, he walked straight in, found Zhang Erzhen, and opened the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand, "Concubine Zhen takes the decree——"

Zhang Erzhen knelt in the first place, followed by Jin Qiu Yinqiu, Xiangxiu knelt at the back, Cao Shun's voice couldn't hide the joy, Zhang Erzhen didn't hear what was said in front of her, she only heard the last sentence, "...... Departure on the same day, no mistake ......"

"Still not accepted?" Lord Cao reminded.

As if in a dream, Zhang Erzhen raised her hand tremblingly to take the holy decree and asked, "Who gave this holy decree?"

"Naturally, the emperor is the only one who can make a holy decree, and if someone else falsely preaches a holy decree, he doesn't want his head. Okay, you hurry up and pack up and go to Beijing with Lao Cao. Take off your blessing, Lao Cao can also enter Beijing. ”

"Who is the Holy One today?" asked Zhang Erzhen calmly.

"Oh, you don't know, it's the second year of Hongzhi, and the reigning emperor is the third prince of the first emperor, haha. ”

"Oh, I see...... "Zhang Erzhen kowtowed, fell on the ground and didn't get up for a long time, great...... Zhu Youji, are you alive......

The holy decree arrived urgently, Lord Cao also received it early in the morning, and there were many things to prepare at this time, he was going to leave Fengyang for a while, and Huang Lei from the capital guarded the high wall instead of him. The two big men were embarrassed when they saw each other, Huang Lei sent someone two years ago, and Cao Shun sent someone away two years later.

Jin Qiu Yinqiu began to pack her luggage, both of them were trembling hands, they thought they would never be able to get out again, but the surprise came unexpectedly. Zhang Erzhen packed up the two thick calendars of the past two years, as well as the box with three golden locks brought out of the tunnel, and the rest is not worth taking away, no, maybe there are ......

"Xiangxiu, I'll take you out. ”

Xiangxiu didn't expect that one day, she would follow the new emperor's side concubine out of this high wall, what a cheerful thing it should be, she has been here for nine years, and she wants to go out in her dreams. On that day, Cao Shun's words once again sent her to hell, and the crown prince ascended the throne, which meant that the faction of the king of Yu failed, and if they failed in the process of fighting for the throne, the consequences can be imagined.

Xiangxiu felt that she was very timid, she was eager to go out, but when the opportunity came, she flinched again, she shook her head, and then went back to her room.

Zhang Erzhen carefully put the calendar book into the box and said to Jin Qiu: "Go and ask Xiangxiu if there is anything to take away, let's clean up together." ”

"But doesn't Xiangxiu want to leave?" Jin Qiu's subordinates kept busy.

"You go and ask again, and ...... Ask who the is, and if she doesn't say it, forget it...... If she wants to take it, take it with her. ”

"Slave maid, let's go and see. Jin Qiu rushed to find Xiangxiu, Zhang Erzhen sat on the side of the desk and slowly grinded, the pen against her chin pondered for a while and wrote: "Mama You personally opened: I have the fate to see, I am returning to Beijing, I can't say goodbye, but the feeling of the heart, Mama Xie's momentary grace, Erzhen is on the line, the capital is seen, cherished, goodbye." Then he put the pen on the inkstone and sharpened the tip of the pen, repeating it a few times before stopping.

"Concubine Fang, do we still want to bring our mahjong tiles?"

"Hmm...... Take it with you, and maybe you can get two more on the way. ”

"Concubine Fang, the vegetables in our garden have just grown, and we can't eat them......"

"I can't eat it...... That can't be helped. ”

"Concubine Fang, do you still have the silver fox you like?"

"I don't bring that, it's not ours in the first place......"

"Concubine Fang, there is still the wine we brewed, and there are several jars......"

"Yinqiu, don't you want to go?"

Yinqiu choked up and said, "Concubine Fang, after we return to Beijing, will there be no such a stable day?" Those deceitful and thrilling made Yinqiu, who was accustomed to peace and comfort, frightened and afraid.

"What are you crying about, if life is still not good, I will take you away, and we will never come back. Zhang Erzhen slowly dried the ink, and folded it slowly, "Don't cry, all kinds of suffering have come, and now I may go out to enjoy happiness." ”

“...... The side concubine and the slave maid were also happy with the prince...... Oh no, the Holy One is still thinking about you, and the slave is just thinking about the old days...... It's not as good as us here, although the food is not good, but the slave is really happy......"

"If a person stays in one place for a long time, even the thatched hut will feel happy. It's been two years since this blink, and it's time to go back. Zhang Erzhen stood up, "You go to Xiangxiu to get the key, I'm going to the tunnel to deliver something." ”

"The side concubine waits, and the slave and maid will go. Yinqiu ran out with a cigarette, only Zhang Erzhen was left in the big house, she touched the chaise longue she had laid, the Nanmu table where she had eaten, the amphorae silver enamel white bottle with flowers, the small table next to the bed, and the gold-bottomed candelabra that accompanied her when she woke up at night, she had thought countless times, if Zhu Youzhu really didn't come to her, would she stay here for the rest of her life? No, she wouldn't, she wanted to go out, find a secluded countryside, and be a casual person. What Zhu Youji, what palace, what capital, and even the Zhang family have nothing to do with her anymore. Now that Zhu Youzhu has sent someone to pick her up, she is happy in her heart, she still wants to go back, see if Zhu Youzhi is in good health, and see that the country he fought so hard is gradually becoming rich and strong in his hands.

"It's time to go back, these two years...... I'm having a great time, thank you for ......"

Xiangxiu was still hesitating, Yinqiu got the key back, Zhang Erzhen took Jinqiu Yinqiu to the room, and opened the tunnel with great difficulty, Zhang Erzhen went in with the letter in her arms, "You go and clean up first, and I'll be back in a while." Then he stepped on the iron ladder very skillfully, and after going down to the ground, Zhang Erzhen trotted all the way. The crystal coffin is still quietly placed, there is nothing in it, the golden silk nanmu coffin is still there, Wan Zhen'er's clothes are covered with a layer of dust, it seems that the first emperor has not been passive here since his death.

"I heard you're leaving, how do you still have time to come here. You Gu came out of the ear chamber and stared at Zhang Erzhen with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Erzhen handed him the letter, "I'm leaving, there is a letter thank you, Mama, you help me pass it to her." ”

You Gu shook the envelope and looked at Zhang Erzhen's eyes with anticipation, "Mama said that if I can see you, let me follow you, are you willing to take me?"

Zhang Erzhen looked at the candles in the room, and then looked down at You Gu's big flickering eyes and smiled: "Mama doesn't want you to follow me into Beijing, it's just ...... If you can convince her, I can take you. ”

"What you said is true?"

"Nature is true. Zhang Erzhen took one last look at the spacious tomb, turned his head and walked into the tunnel: "I will leave in the afternoon, if you also go, wait for me at the high wall gate." ”

"You talk counts!" You Gu shouted loudly, and only when he couldn't see Zhang Erzhen's figure did he turn on the mechanism and drill out. He's also leaving this place and never wanting to come back.

When Zhang Erzhen came out, Jinqiu Yinqiu had already been cleaned up, and Xiangxiu sat on the verandah with a small burden on her back and stared at the treetops in a daze.

"Xiangxiu is going to go to Jingli with him, and the one who has a...... Xiangxiu doesn't say it, let's not care. Jin Qiu dragged a large wooden box to the yard, piled a small one on it, and waited for Lord Cao to bring someone to pack it up and load it into the car.

"Let's clean up at the end, what we look like when we come, what we should look like when we leave. Zhang Erzhen walked to the side of Xiangxiu and asked, "Think about it, the one who gave the...... I really don't care?"

Xiangxiu didn't react at first, and then nodded after a while, grabbed Zhang Erzhen's hand, and wrote on it: "Thank you." ”

Zhang Erzhen withdrew her hand with a smile, "I especially believe in fate, if we can meet, it is fate, your thank you, I accept it." ”

Lord Cao was very punctual, and took a team of people and horses to carry the luggage of Concubine Zhen out of Fengyajian, and after they left, there was no one in Fengyajian.

As when he came, out of the gate of Fengyajian, out of the second heavy city gate, and out of the first high city gate, really standing at the door of the high wall of Fengyang, Zhang Erzhen took a deep breath, turned his head and saw Yougu standing in the corner with a small burden on his back. She beckoned to Yougu, who ran over, craned her neck and said, "Mama asked me to follow you." ”

"Well, I already know. Zhang Erzhen smiled and pointed to the carriage in front of her, "Do you take the carriage, or do you want to ride a horse by yourself?"

"I'm a man, I'm going to ride a horse. ”

"Haha, good boy, just follow Lao Cao, concubine, let's go. Cao Shun couldn't wait.

"Okay, let's go. Zhang Erzhen took one last look at the solemn wall, lifted her skirt and got into the carriage. When I came, it was a small carriage of oilcloth, and when I went back, it was such a gorgeous and delicate soft cloth with high pillows.

"Jin Qiu, are there any of those pillows that Sun Gongzi gave you when you came?"

"Those are still there, concubine, what are you doing with that?"

"Just throw it away, I suddenly remembered. Zhang Erzhen leaned her head against the wall of the car and swung it around, and said a little abruptly: "You said that after we go back, how many acquaintances can we see?"

Jin Qiu and Yinqiu looked at each other, and Jin Qiu said: "Concubine Fang, don't be sad, let's go for a few days, and we can get to the capital, and when the time comes, won't we all know." ”

"Hmm...... , You're right, I'm homesick?" Zhang Erzhen shook her head self-deprecatingly and closed her eyes.

Xiangxiu hugged the little burden tightly and leaned in the corner, when it came to the timidity of her hometown, she couldn't help but tremble, she was just a little girl when she left the capital...... , now herself, vulgar vicissitudes, like a country peasant woman.
