Chapter 34 Seeing the wind makes the rudder turbid

Mrs. Zhao wanted to wear it, and ordered the maids and servants to line up in two ways outside the door and in the courtyard, and Zhao Mengzeng, who was halfway back from the road, and her five sons had also stood under the eaves, surrendered their seniority, and paced to welcome Zhao Mengzeng's arrival......

After a long time, he came out, still holding the pipa and half covering his face.

waited until the end of the day, the night had been slowly pulled back by the heavenly court, and the world began to open a few rays of light, and Zhao Mengzeng's chariot and horse came in a sparkling manner, and Zhao Mengzeng's chariot was followed not only by his own convoy of personal soldiers, but also by a team of domestic servants sent by Zhao Mengmo before.

When they arrived at the gate of Zhao's house, the outpost of the horse team saw that the gate was open, and the master and servant were all in the way to greet him, so he informed Zhao Mengzeng in the car: "Son, the Zhao family has arrived, can you get off the sedan chair?" ”

"Down." Zhao Meng once answered in the car, and the attendants had helped him lift the curtain of the carriage, and the groom jumped out of the car and set up the stool. The carriage is on the high side, and the bench has three steps.

"Greetings to Childe!" The old men of the Zhao family, who were originally standing under the eaves and wandering, saw the car stop in front of the door, and hurriedly greeted them with smiling faces. Zhao Mengmo also followed, and he did the same.

However, it was not Zhao Mengzeng who got out of the car, but a woman. She lifted her skirt and lifted her feet, and clumsily stepped on the second step of the stool, ragged and unkempt.

Seeing this, the lords of each room looked at each other, their hot faces facing the clothes mixed with cold and smell, and the hot air in their mouths, when they met the cold air of the morning light, condensed into water vapor, and surrounded their embarrassing smiles.

"Jing Zhixi?!" Zhao Mengmo was the first to recognize the unkempt and scarred woman, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Could it be that you, hijacked Ruzeng's car?" ”

Jing Zhixi's old grievances have not been washed, and he was charged with intercepting the court officials with a word, and his already weak body was even more weak for a while, so he was going to be planted from the horse bench.

At this moment, from inside the carriage, two hands stretched out, and Qi Qi grabbed her wrists that were raised in the air. Zhao Meng once had the right landlord, so he got out of the carriage first, stood behind Jing Zhixi on the front panel of the car, grabbed her squeaky nest, and helped her steady. Wu Gucuo was squeezed in the carriage of the carriage, so he had to let go, and with his left hand, he held the arm of his right hand that was squeezed by the ridge when he and Zhao Mengzeng fought out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are a wooden fall, you have grown up, and your cultivation is so high that you almost broke my arm." ”

"It's not that I'm tall, it's that you're low," Zhao Mengzeng replied with a smile, his tone was not like a whisper at all, and his tone was particularly accentuated. This remark made everyone under the car more and more confused, thinking that this was Zhao Mengzeng greeting them, and couldn't help but think: What kind of accosting is this? Could it be that in Kyoto, even the greetings are mysterious?

When everyone was puzzled, the old lady who was still holding it in the house couldn't bear the loneliness anymore, and called out loudly: "But what if the great-grandson has arrived?" Please come in. ”

Zhao Meng once heard that he was happy to give the old lady this face, so he dismounted with Jing Zhixi in his arms, and deliberately grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the house. Zhao Meng had stopped blocking the car door, Wu Gu staggered and jumped out of the car, he used to be free and used to wandering freely in Qingqiu, and the most confused master in the world will be raised in the ancient wood, with ten miles of Taohuawu as a companion, and he is also freewheeling, so he can't stand so much red tape.

Obviously, he can jump down with one blow, but he doesn't want to go down step by step......

Fortunately, the people who greeted the Zhao family all hugged the master Zhao Mengzeng, and Wu Gu was wrong, and no one cared about it, and no one asked.

"The old man respectfully invites Zhao Mengzeng, the minister of honor and health minister and co-organizer of the Taibao Situ Guizi, to come to the cold house." Mrs. Zhao greeted Zhao Mengzeng in the house, and when Zhao Mengzeng entered the house, she bowed down and bowed her hand.

"If you once visited the third grandmother," Zhao Mengzeng first exempted the old lady from being vain, and then returned the gift to the old lady according to the genealogy. It turned out that when Mrs. Zhao's husband was alive, he was the third in the Zhao family. Several brothers and sisters of the old man Zhao before his death, all went to the capital to seek a future, leaving him alone in this poor countryside to guard the ancestral business, his closest siblings, after the development of Kyoto, all felt that they owed him a lot, so every time they returned to their hometowns, they were not particularly demanding of those courtesies, and Mrs. Zhao was able to rely on the old and sell the old, and did not go out to greet him. Besides, if you used to be an easy-going child, you don't care about it.

After a false salute. Zhao Meng was once given the throne, he was on the left, and the old lady was on the right.

Zhao Meng had just sat down, stood up again, pulled Jing Zhixi, who was standing next to the next seat, and sat on the left side of him, which was the honorable position. Everyone sighed and showed disdain, but no one dared to disobey him, so they had to get back to the point and cut to the chase:

"This is my father's hurry, five hundred miles of urgency, sent here, and is being stopped by Jiang Shan." Zhao Meng once took out a piece of white silk from his shirt, and then instructed a maid to fetch a basin of water.

"Let's all step aside," Mrs. Zhao immediately dismissed a room of slaves and maids, looking at Jing Zhixi sitting on the left and Wu Gucuo sitting in the last seat, she felt very uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to send it, and whether she should send it away. According to her personal wishes, these two people are naturally outsiders, and they must be rushed, but seeing that they came in the same car with Zhao Mengzeng, and they have a great relationship, it is inconvenient to send them away.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Mengzeng had a delicate heart, understood the old lady's meaning, and said to her: "Neither of them is an outsider. ”

"It turned out to be the Chai family in Longyan County," the old lady took the white silk and put it into the water in front of her.

After reading the letter, she was shocked: the Chai family was a puppet regime supported by the Zhao family in the south of the capital, and now it has been taken away, and these 6,000 silk silks are the stolen goods that have been lost from there. Before she knew it, her old hands were trembling.

"Burn it." Zhao Meng once instructed.

"You deliberately turned back, are you going to recall this shipment?" The old lady picked up the bamboo cage and set the secret letter on fire, and the candle ashes fell from time to time, shedding candle tears.

"It's recalled, wouldn't it be even more of a disaster," Zhao Mengzeng said: "It's far away from Kyoto, so you can still avoid it, but you can't ostentatiously put it on the cloth village anymore." ”

"That's how it should be." Mrs. Zhao was worried: "It's just that the original goods on the cloth village still need to be withdrawn?" ”

"Not anymore." Zhao Meng once looked embarrassed, his father's ability to drill camps everywhere, the dark army supported from all over the country, the secret government of cloth, and the flow of many palace silks, if they are not withdrawn today, how can they guarantee that the day after tomorrow will not be like the goods of the Chai family, which have also been exposed?

"I want to come like this," Mrs. Zhao said in front of Zhao Mengzeng, "The goods in the past were all transported by Jiang Shan's escort, but this one is the only one that you have worked hard to drive, and it doesn't matter if you want to come to anything else, last night's incident was the most important." ”

"I have repeatedly reminded my father that I should not take risks and seek skin with the tiger, making it clear that the royal family is going to be liquidated, but my father is still unwilling to avoid suspicion and refuse to draw a clear line." Zhao Meng had no scheming, and he showed his helplessness. The old lady was noncommittal, and sat silent.

"However, there are two sides to everything, and I have my own benefits when I come!" Zhao Mengzeng turned his eyes to look at Jing Zhixi beside him, and his expression, which was still dark, suddenly became a little brighter, like the sky outside.

"What's in it for you?" The old lady turned her face to him.

"I know my hometown in another country!" Zhao Mengzeng looked at Wu Gucuo in the last seat again, even this last seat was given because of him: "Jing Zhixi and Wu Gucuo, the sins of these two, the third grandmother is for my sake, let's be spared, you see that they were tortured by our family servants, no people, ghosts and ghosts, wouldn't it ruin my Zhao family's reputation for goodness?" Why use a knife or a gun. ”

"My grandson is far away in the capital, how can I know such a rural slang." The old lady wondered.

"It's fateful to meet thousands of miles away" Zhao Meng couldn't say why, he was very embarrassed, he was happy to say that he missed his mouth, and said with a smile.

"In this way, it's not true," said that the old lady did her best to compliment her, but she couldn't be rewarded, Zhao Mengzeng couldn't fulfill the lie herself, she just spelled it out: "Wu Gongzi, didn't you go to Beijing to catch the exam, you meet a noble person in the capital, and you can't be fated again." ”

Wu Gu sat under the seat, listening to the creepy and uncomfortable, the emptiness and grievances of the big family, he understood it today, and thought: When will I go to catch the exam, the old lady is afraid that it is the clearest, if her grandson Zhao Mengmo is more promising, she will set off together early yesterday morning. One day, but with the strength of his feet, how could he walk from Qi Wu to the capital, and turn back to save Jing Zhixi? Ordinary people can figure it out with common sense, but Mrs. Zhao, who understands it best, doesn't understand. It's really going to pretend to be confused.

"The old lady didn't remind me, I forgot, I came back from the exam, and I had to go home and inform my old father." Wu Gucuo couldn't listen to their hypocrisy anymore, so he got up and said goodbye: "It's just that I have something that I once gave to the old lady's granddaughter Jing Zhixi, I don't know if the bracelet that was used as a stolen item can be wronged and returned to the next?" Giving up the cold, just this ancestral thing, I am afraid that my father and mother will punish me. ”

"Grandmother, I really didn't steal the 6,000 silk horses. Don't say 6,000 horses, even the six horses before, if it weren't for Ling Nu's urgent illness, I would never have let Sister Ruyu take the jade bracelet to offset the stolen goods. Jing Zhixi can see that friendship is important, and there is no need to give the wrong things to others for no reason, and it is very disgraceful. Therefore, she heard the wrong words and hurriedly helped to ask for it.

"This batch of silk silk is a hot potato, whoever gets it is unlucky, but it is good for people to steal it" Zhao Meng once saw that Zhixi was also begging, and he was also busy helping to ask for it.

How could the old lady not know the proportions, she just lied for Zhao Mengzeng, but she made a bet in her heart: Zhao Mengzeng fell in love with her granddaughter, so she said 'meet her old acquaintance in a foreign land', isn't it 'love at first sight, love at first sight, and hate late when you meet'.

"The six silk horses before, your third uncle has made it clear, it was the lady of the lord of Qingyaoyi who ordered it in advance, and there was a hurry, and it was not registered at that time, Yu'er misunderstood you, you don't blame her. Besides, your small body, you can't hold six horses, and six thousand horses won't crush you? The old lady has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and her smiling face is sandwiched with wrinkled folds, and she justifies Zhixi's name.

It's just that seeing the wind making the rudder, it is inevitable that the turn is a little sharper, which makes people hit their heads and bleed and suddenly pull the brakes, Jing Zhixi and Wu Gucuo are destined to not feel the warmth from it.

"Thank you grandmother for your trust," Jing Zhixi hurriedly got off the stool to kneel down and bow to thank her, which shows that such a favor will not be available on weekdays, "Then can you please Brother Rumo and return the jade bracelet to the bone?" ”

"We are in Yuzhai, there are so many people with such a good appearance, who rarely deducts you from this?" Zhao Mengmo disdainfully took out the jade bracelet from his sleeve cage and motioned for Gu Wrong to come and get it.

"Turbidity!" Zhao Meng once wanted to see what kind of thing it was, worthy of Bai Lihe's care, or did Bai Lihe fall into the world after coming to the world, and he had already fallen to the point of 'bending his waist for five buckets of rice'?

But when Zhao Mengmo took it out, he suddenly realized. Because he was possessed by Mu Luo, he recognized that the jade bracelet was another holy weapon of the Secret Realm Fox Clan, which was as famous as Zhan Lu. Turbidity has always been the magic weapon of the White Fox Lady, and it has always been handed down only to the Fox Lord's Wife. He actually gave it to Zhixi.

Wu Gucuo took the jade bracelet from Zhao Mengmo's hand, walked to Jing Zhixi's side again, and said, "Let's return the thing to its original owner." For I have given thee, it is thee. ”

"No," Jing Zhixi wanted to push it down, but she couldn't move it, it can be seen that there is a little bit of demonic power mixed in, I am afraid that Wu Gucuo's demonic power has been exhausted at this moment: "This, this, is a precious one, I didn't know it before." Later, when I was beaten, I understood that this thing was only used to cover up the ugliness, wouldn't it be a waste. ”

"Wu Gongzi will take it back," Zhao Mengzeng didn't feel good in his heart, saying that this was not a token of love, and even he couldn't deceive himself. When I think about it, I can't help but feel a sour heart.

"Who said that I sent you to cover your ugliness, why do you have to hide your ugliness? If you want to cover it, it is also the person who they abuse lynching and wantonly frame you to cover up. I won't take back what I gave away. The bone mistake tore off Zhixi's sleeve and deliberately covered the scar, which seemed unintentional, but it was actually intentional for Zhao Meng to see.

Zhixi's wrist is knotted with Zhanlu's death. Zhao Meng had seen it, how could he not know that there was a demonic qi suppressed during that time, and he only knew at this time that the turbidity was actually helping her suppress the demonic nature, so he no longer insisted on it.

And the words of lynching abused beat Zhao Mengzeng on the side: The Zhao family, which is far away from the Tiangao Emperor, has also come to this point.
