Chapter 246: Return to Jiao's Zhuangzi Again
Xin Pengyi's injury is actually much more serious than Jiao Yuzhen imagined, at least Zisang Yilang has affirmed that Xin Pengyi's right hand will not be cured, but it is still possible to learn from people on the rivers and lakes to add an iron hook or something, but in that case, Jiao Yuzhen can't say it.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at Xin Pengyi, who fainted and fell asleep by relying on Zisang Yilang, Jiao Yu Zhen Xing's eyes flashed an inexplicable light, although she was not familiar with the things on the rivers and lakes, but the people who had been in contact with the Eighteen Illusion Building, whether it was the godfather or the silent girl, they were all excellent people, Xin Pengyi couldn't tell who the villain who made him like this, but he was sure that the other party was from the Eighteen Illusion Building, or...... He knows, it's just hard to say.
"Princess." Qingyun, who was driving outside, couldn't help but ask, "It's raining very hard now, it doesn't seem to be suitable for hurrying, the Jiao family's farm is in front, do you want to spend the night?" ”
After listening to the sound outside the carriage and taking a deep look at Xin Pengyi, Jiao Yuzhen looked at Zisang Yilang again, and when she saw Zisang Yilang nodded, she responded to Qingyun: "Let's go to Jiao's Farm to spend the night." ”
"Yes!" Qingyun raised his horsewhip and went to Jiao's Farm.
Maybe because of the heavy rain, the dark sky like midnight made Jiao Yuzhen have a very strange feeling, it was clear that it was not yet time for the weather to get cold, but she couldn't help but slightly wrap the thin coat on her body, originally with the bumps of the carriage and the temperature transmitted by Yan Duo's body sitting beside her, it had made her feel calmer, but she didn't expect that when the carriage stopped, she actually heard the sound that made her heart tremble slightly.
"It's Prince Jing and Princess Jing." It was the voice of Old Lady Jiao, Pan's voice, although it still sounded as majestic as before, but it was difficult to hide the weak and old atmosphere.
It has been more than half a year since she last saw Mrs. Jiao's old lady Pan, Jiao Yuzhen still remembers that she made some mischief of Pan's birthday banquet, and now if she doesn't get out of the carriage to meet, this shelf seems to be too big, and although she is out of Prince Jing's mansion today, she is still holding a book in her hand, but people outside the mansion don't know about it, so Pan's sentence "Prince Jing Princess" is reasonable.
Although she didn't know what the old lady Jiao Pan was going to do, Jiao Yuzhen still opened the curtain of the carriage, but she was very careful not to open them all, because she was worried that there were two men in her carriage, and if these things came out together with the matter of being separated from Jimo Hanfei, I was afraid that it would be difficult for her to continue to gain a foothold in Qingguo.
It's just that Jiao Yuzhen didn't think that after she lifted the curtain of the carriage, she not only saw Old Lady Jiao's Pan, but also saw a Jiao Hongfu she thought she would never see again.
Jiao Hongfu is also very handsome, because he is less than thirteen years old, so the childishness has not completely faded from his face, but now there is an indescribable hideousness on the handsome face that is still a little childish, if his eyes can kill, he has probably torn Jiao Yuzhen apart!
Seeing Jiao Yuzhen, Mrs. Jiao's face seemed to show a smile, her old body was supported by Jiao Hongfu and walked a few steps forward, followed by Liu Wu who gave her an umbrella, but Liu Wu saw Jiao Yuzhen, and her face was speechless and stopped, or she thought that she could see the person she wanted to see more, but the truth disappointed her.
"The old body greets Prince Jing and Princess Jing." Old Mrs. Jiao's Pan was awarded the rank of a first-class lady by the first emperor, so even if she saw Jiao Yuzhen, she didn't need to make a big salute, so she just bowed her head slightly.
"Say hello to Prince Jing and Princess Jing." Jiao Hongfu and Liu Fu bowed down after Mrs. Jiao's old lady Pan saluted.
"No courtesy." Jiao Yuzhen didn't know why Mrs. Jiao Pan was here at the gate of the farm, and seeing the water trails at the hem of her clothes, she could know that they should have a time here, otherwise according to Mrs. Jiao's footsteps, it would be impossible to come over after seeing her carriage, thinking of this, she felt that things were a little strange, so she asked Yan Duo and Liu Xun to get down from the carriage with umbrellas, and only continued to speak after coming down, "Today, the princess went out to play, and I didn't want to encounter heavy rain, so I wanted to spend the night in this Zhuangzi." ”
"The arrival of Prince Jing and Princess Jing is naturally an honor for the Jiao family. Now that the rain is heavy, please go with the old man, the carriage is not easy to enter, so the carriage will be left outside, and the horses will be brought to the stable. As Mrs. Jiao spoke, she turned sideways and was obviously leading the way, although her tone was respectful, but in fact there was no trace of negotiable, and her attitude was so resolute that it was chilling.
Although Jiao Yuzhen has not had much contact with Mrs. Jiao's Pan, she already understands that this is such a person, Mrs. Jiao's Pan is in a high position all the year round, so she naturally won't listen to what others say, and once she decides, things can't be changed, imagine that when she was kicked out that day, Jiao Yuzhen was very clear that now this rainstorm is also annoying, so Jiao Yuzhen didn't refuse and followed Pan to Zhuangzi.
Jiao Yuzhen has lived in this Zhuangzi for a while, and she is very familiar with this place, but she has grown up now, so there are some differences in appearance, but what makes her even more strange is that the people on the Zhuangzi she saw on her face should not have any acquaintances, and it seems that compared to the last time she came here with Jimo and Ao, people have basically changed.
Entering the flower hall in the front hall, Jiao Yuzhen retracted her gaze, and sat on the left and right seats of the main seat with Mrs. Jiao's wife, after sitting down, Liu Wu came over with tea, but when she wanted to put the tea in front of Jiao Yuzhen, she was stopped by Yan Duo stepping forward.
"Green tea is cold, the princess doesn't like the content of things lately, let's change to black tea." Yan Duo is a dowry maid from many countries in Issi, so it is not wrong for her to call Jiao Yuzhen a princess.
Liu Yu glanced at Jiao Yuzhen with some surprise, she had waited for Jiao Yuzhen, and naturally knew that Jiao Yuzhen liked green tea very much, but now that Yan Duo said this, she couldn't object, so she could only nod, and was a little disappointed with the green tea to retreat.
"Slow, I'll go make tea with you, I'll bring the black tea tea that the princess likes." Now that Jiao Yuzhen is pregnant, Yan Duo naturally has to be very careful, she doesn't have a good impression of the Jiao family, for fear that these people are waiting for Jiao Yuzhen here, whether they want to do anything, although she doesn't know martial arts, but after all, she grew up in the palace, so it is impossible not to find these people a little strange, after all, such a heavy rain, Mrs. Jiao didn't stay in the deep courtyard of Jiao's mansion, even if she came to the farm, it was impossible to stand at the door of the village in the rain, and then she greeted Jiao Yuzhen!
Since these people can know that Jiao Yuzhen is back, someone must have secretly followed them a long time ago!
"Willow catkins, you can't snub the guests." Seeing that Liu Fu was embarrassed, Mrs. Jiao also spoke.
"Yes." Liu Fu nodded, and led Yan Duo out.
"I'll go with the steward and arrange the carriage and the other people's rooms." Jiao Hongfu gave Jiao Yuzhen a blow, and then bowed down and retreated, but that action didn't look like a child.
Seeing that there was no one else in the flower hall, Pan raised his old eyes that were already cloudy and looked at Jiao Yuzhen, and said without hurrying: "Prince Jing, I was very grateful to the princess for coming to the old body's birthday banquet last time, but at that time, the old body could only call you a princess." ”
Jiao Yuzhen hooked the corners of her lips and showed a knowing smile, in fact, she didn't like those who spoke around the bush, but there was no way, but soon she pressed the thought in her heart: "Old Madam Jiao can call me whatever she wants, it's just one sentence, if grandmother wants, you can also call me Zhen'er, after all, this title has not been used a few times before." ”
Hearing the sarcasm in Jiao Yuzhen's words, Pan didn't feel too much, after all, she was so old, what else had she not seen?
"Then Zhen'er ......" Pan immediately chose to shorten the distance with Jiao Yuzhen, "Grandmother was sorry for you back then, but when you are in such a position today, it can be said that your grandmother's choice gave you a chance, and more importantly, grandmother thinks that when you reach this position, you must be able to understand why grandmother kicked you out of the house that day, right?" ”
"In order to hold the Jiao family, the children and grandchildren of the Jiao family all have such an obligation, and Zhen Er felt wronged by her grandmother's choice that day, but she could understand it." Jiao Yuzhen said this in her heart, she can understand very well why the Pan family chose to give up on her that day instead of Jiao Youhan, who was already about to be abandoned, after all, Jiao Youhan was indeed favored when he entered the palace that day, so that the Jiao family survived in that situation, but if he hadn't been given up by the Pan family that day, Jiao Yuzhen knew that his fate would be completely different!
"If only you understood." Pan sighed heavily before continuing to speak, "On the day of my birthday banquet, you should have come to participate in it to take revenge." Hongfu has always been raised under my knees, and I know very well what kind of person he is. That day, if you took revenge, you would also lose the Jiao family, and your sacrifice back then would be in vain. Now we can't live in the capital. Only the Wang family remained in Jiaofu, and Hongfu and I came to Zhuangzi. Hongfu is a good boy for the family, you shouldn't deal with him like that, if you want revenge, then you can also come at the old body......"
"Does grandmother know what kind of child Hongfu is? Well-behaved and obedient, or smart and clever? Jiao Yuzhen looked at Pan with a smile, "When my father was assassinated, Hongfu didn't appear, and he didn't come back on the day of my father's funeral, maybe it was the arrangement that grandmother made to protect him, but ...... Hongfu is not a person who needs your protection. Grandmother lives in the inner house, should not know what is going on in the rivers and lakes, Hongfu is actually not his father's biological child, he and his second sister are half-siblings. The eldest mother always thought that Hongfu's biological father was a person from the Crescent Moon Pavilion, but he was actually a person from the Eighteen Illusion Building. Therefore, Hongfu should be inseparable from the Eighteen Illusion Building as soon as he was born. Although I know his identity, if the well water does not interfere with the river water, it will be fine, but on the day of my grandmother's birthday banquet, he seems to want to damage my reputation, so I will do it. This is not revenge against the Jiao family, but against Hongfu. And...... If there was no messenger from the Eighteen Illusion Building today, Hongfu would have had no way of knowing that I would come. Grandmother, if there is no Hung Fu here today, do you know that I will come? ”
Pan's face was calm, like the dark clouds on the eve of a storm, but she muttered for a long time, but she chose to deceive herself: "So what? The Jiao family needs a man, he was born in the Jiao family's house, he is the child of the Jiao family, I don't care about his background, I just know that if the Jiao family does not have a male to take over the family business, the Jiao family will be divided by the Jiao family, and the Jiao family cannot be defeated in my hands, so even if Hongfu's reputation is ruined, at most he no longer lives in the capital. ”
Hearing Pan's words, Jiao Yuzhen raised his eyes and looked at the black shadow flashing outside the door: "Liuxun? Qingyun? ”
