Chapter 2 Crossing the Archway (II)

The white-haired veteran general Zhang Jie listened to Steward Yang's words, and his face changed sharply.

He turned over and dismounted, threw the whip to his guards, and strode to Yao Huan.

"Little ...... This lady of the Yao family, your ...... The person who took your wedding vows, but died in the city of Hongde? ”

Yao Huan shrunk his shoulders and endured the pain, but in fact, he had already heard the reason why the old housekeeper Yang Weng reported to Zhang Jie.

She could understand the language of the world.

In addition to some sharp tongue sounds and short introphant words, the gentle words of the young man, the cool rebuke of his aunt, the solemn interrogation of General Zhang, and the concise narration of Steward Yang, Yao Huan listened to them, all of which were not too laborious.

However, she did not dare to speak, or did not know how. From the accent she expressed to the content she expressed, she was unsure.

It seems that although she has traveled to the shell of this ancient girl, she has not fully integrated into the girl's consciousness and memory.

But only the three words "Hong Decheng" mentioned by Zhang Jie suddenly became like a sharp blade, which made her feel mourned, and even worse than the serious injury that permeated her head.

In an instant, Yao Huan went from sobbing to grinning and crying uncontrollably.

Holding her aunt, she stared at Yang Weng, the old housekeeper of Yao Mansion, and the anger in her eyes went out for three minutes.

"This Steward Yang, when he reported the reason to the big handsome, he was sympathetic to Huanniang in his words. Thinking of him as an old servant, the slave contract is in the hands of the master's family, where can he restrain the evil woman, he can only watch Huanniang get on the happy car. ”

The aunt muttered for a moment, and nodded at Steward Yang, which could be regarded as a limited reconciliation.

Seeing Yao Huan crying again, my aunt said to Zhang Jie on behalf of her niece: "Zhang Dashuai, this Yang Weng is a servant of my brother-in-law's family, and he can be regarded as watching my niece grow up. What he said was true. My brother-in-law, who was originally a branch of the Yao family in the north, although he was a scribe, he had an old friend who served in the Western Army. My niece and the son of the military master were childhood sweethearts and got married early. After his brother-in-law and sister moved to Kaifeng Mansion, his two families still agreed that when my niece was over 18 years old, he would return to Qinzhou to marry his son there. Unexpectedly, in the early summer of last year, when my brother-in-law was seriously ill, someone from Qinzhou reported that Lang and his father were killed in the battle of Xixia Hong. ”

When my aunt said this, she pointed to the trembling matchmaker on the side: "My niece is a good child with affection and righteousness, and she obviously got my father's promise before my brother-in-law went west to keep the festival for the martyred son, and she will no longer obey others in this life." You, the official media lady, are a relative of my brother-in-law's vicious stepfamily, and the two mothers-in-law conspired to sell my niece to Zeng's house, and rejoiced in the half-dead medicine jar......"

As soon as the last half of Auntie's words came out, Steward Yang's face changed.

And the matchmaker who sent the relatives seemed to wake up in an instant, regained her combat effectiveness, rushed forward, and yelled at her aunt: "Duh! You shrew, you really don't know what to do, you spout obscenities like this, slandering the grandson of the dignified former prime minister. Zengfu has been a famous minister of the country for generations, and Yao Niangzi can be the granddaughter-in-law of Zengfu, I don't know how much virtue she has accumulated in her previous life, so that she has the blessing of climbing in this life! ”

"Shut up!" Zhang Jie broke off his drink, like thunder on the ground, so frightened that the matchmaker threw herself on her knees and didn't dare to open her mouth again.

Zhang Jie is a veteran general who is old in the military, the battlefield is changing rapidly, he can quickly sort out his clues, and in today's occasional turmoil, the characters who came out to talk are all sharp and sharp, so he has completely figured it out.

Zhang Jie returned to Beijing from Qinzhou this time, on the one hand, to report to the Son of Heaven about the border defense of the Western Route Army, and on the other hand, he also went to visit his boss, Prime Minister Zhang Dian. And what these two officials surnamed Zhang are going to discuss in the meeting is not as simple as fighting the Xixia people.

Zhang Jiewan didn't expect that he would run into Zeng Bu's grandson marrying Zeng Bu from the Privy Council today, and it was such a farce that had already been revealed in the market.

When the Privy Council of the Imperial Court made Zeng Bu, who was among the important ministers of the ruling team, the eldest grandson Zeng Ke was a concubine, congenitally weak, and it was rumored that he could not be a person.

"If a person is abolished, Hehe Zengfu, hire a woman from a small family but also an official family to enter the door, and put it in the eldest grandson's room to make a show, it makes sense." Zhang Jie muttered to himself.

Immediately afterward, some thoughts flashed through his mind.

When he raised his head and glanced at the people around him again, Zhang Jie's torch-like eyes actually had a faint layer of tears.

"Hong Decheng," the old man choked up, "is a name that the people of the Great Song Dynasty should remember." The Xia people are rampant in their appetite for profit, and they have repeatedly invaded our realm for decades, so why not punish them heavily? In the battle of Hongdecheng, my Great Song Dynasty Qin Feng Army fought a fierce battle, and the Western Xia soldiers fled and fell off the cliff innumerable, and my Great Song Dynasty was ashamed and morale. A good man's horse leather shroud, his beloved swears to keep the festival for him, such an affectionate and righteous act, Zeng Xianggong, who is in the Privy Council, Zeng Gongzixuan, how can he turn a blind eye and be a strong man? ”

Zhang Jie talked about Zeng Bu's position and words, and deliberately increased the intensity of the words, as if he was afraid that it would not spread far enough in this noisy market.

Then, Zhang Jie pointed to the official media mother-in-law and said: "It must be you, who colluded with the Yao family's stepfamily and deceived the Zeng Mansion!" Since you are the official matchmaker of the court, the old man can control you when he wears the robe of the court official. Xu Ye, Zhao Yan......"

Two capable guards named "Xu Ye" and "Zhao Yan" heard the call and hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the order.

"Xu Ye, at this moment, you will take this official media lady, the housekeeper of the Yao Mansion and the wedding team to Zeng's Mansion and tell the cause and effect of the matter. Then he announced a crime to Zeng Xiang for the old man, and said that Ben Shuai was old and took care of things, besides, the husband of this Yao family lady died in my Qin Feng army, Ben Shuai's military exploits were all earned by these children with flesh and blood, how could Ben Shuai live up to their widows. The minister of Zengshu knows that this handsome man is the master, and today's female baby will not go to his mansion to worship. ”

"Zhao Yan, you escort Yao Niangzi and her aunt, go where they want to go, if anyone stops and provokes, just say the last sentence that Ben Shuai and Xu Ye said again."

"Oh, my subordinates understand!"

Yao Niangzi's anti-marriage anger touched the pillar, Zhang Laoshuai rescued the orphan girl - at this moment, many of the Tokyo people who were watching around could even make up the topics of the artists' storytelling in the "tile" in the next few days.

It's really a touching and hearty live drama.

The masses who did not cheer after watching the show were not good citizens, so in an instant, applause, cheers, and praises of "the little lady is strong" and "Zhang Dashuai is fair" sounded loudly from all directions.

Zhang Jie's face finally showed the kindness of the elder, he relaxed his eyebrows, and asked Yao Huan, "Where are you willing to go, do you have a plan?" ”

Yao Huan weakly raised her hand and hugged her aunt's neck.

My aunt said happily: "God is pitiful, today I finally met the great benevolence of the master, and you can live with your aunt with peace of mind from now on." ”

Yao Huan thought to himself, where else can I go, as soon as I crossed over, I hit my head and broke the blood, not to mention, I even hugged a chastity archway! Pick up someone who seems to have the most kindness to you first.

Zhao Yan, the guard commanded by Zhang Jie, had already called a donkey cart that was passing by to solicit customers, and there were a few women with hot intestines in the crowd, helping her aunt to help Yao Huan into the car.

As soon as the aunt finished saying thank you, she suddenly remembered something, and rushed to the wedding car procession, stopped Steward Yang and said, "What about Huanniang's dowry!" ”

Steward Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and pointed to the two boxes in the team.

My aunt said loudly: "My Huan Niang is the pearl of her parents' palms, although my brother-in-law and sister are not rich and noble, there will be more than these left to her." Today, take away all the items that were originally hers, and the rest of the accounts will be counted another day. ”

With that, he angrily instructed the little guys who picked up the boxes to put the things on the donkey cart.

Zhang Jie looked at his aunt's cuffs, identified a few oil stains on them, and couldn't help but secretly say, this sister-in-law of the Yao family is shrewd and spicy, I think she is a merchant who runs a restaurant in the market, if she doesn't cry and make trouble today, Zeng Xianggong's ugliness, I'm afraid, it's not in place.

An imperceptible sneer flashed on Zhang Laoshuai's face, and when he turned around to get on the horse, his eyes suddenly fell on a person again.

The young man who was examining and bandaging the Yao family's girl and claiming to be Langzhong was slowly leaving with the scattered flow of people.

"Xiao Langjun stays," Zhang Jie called him.

The young man turned his head with a respectful look and saluted Zhang Jiezuo.

Zhang Jie's voice was three points lower: "In your later life, you have done a great good deed today." ”

The young man humbly replied: "Xie Dashuai, the ancestors of the grass people are sitting in the hall doctor. ”

Zhang Jie smiled coldly and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. Well, I'm older, but my eyes don't dazzle, and I sit on the horse, and I can see clearly, when the lady of the Yao family crashed into the wooden pillar, you stopped her. ”

The man was silent, but lowered his head.

Zhang Jie stared at him and said, "It happened suddenly, you are just passing by, but it is really not easy to react so smartly." How old are you, where are you sitting now? ”

The man said: "Shao Qing, the grass people, the word Jingbo, this year, twenty and three, although my grandfather and father both practice medicine, but I hope that I will follow the text, so the grass people are only rough in medical skills, and they are unable to practice medicine to save people." Caomin has a private school, which temporarily teaches the children in the neighborhood, and after school, he studies the classics and prepares for scientific examinations. ”

Zhang Jie nodded, was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "Shao Langjun, you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, but if you have other plans another day, I, Qin Fengjun, am also thirsty for talent, and the scribes may not be useless." ”

Shao Qing gave a big salute and thanked him, and watched Zhang Jie and the guards ride away.

Then, Shao Qing turned around and looked at the red blood stains on the wooden pillar at the head of the bridge, and was a little confused.
