Chapter 173: The Past

After Zhou Ziyu left the Xinglin Pavilion, Zhang Jin cried for a while, and thought about it for a while, but he couldn't calm down.

Aunt Zhang has been with her all the time, and she coaxed her like she did when she was a child, but this time she didn't put Zhang Jin to sleep.

In fact, Zhang Jin was tired of crying for a long time, and he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't want to sleep yet, and kept asking Aunt Zhang about it, wanting to know more details about his biological parents.

Aunt Zhang also followed Zhang Jin's mind and slowly talked about the dusty past.

"Jin'er, your mother was only a teenager when she entered the palace, and she was later transferred to the East Palace by the queen's mother, and she met me. I was a Shangshi at that time, and I was already old, and in two years I could send the palace back to my hometown. Your mother was originally learning to cook meals under me, but because of her beautiful appearance, she was loved by the prince as soon as she came, and she wanted to mention her as a concubine. ”

Aunt Zhang remembered the time when she first met Zhixiu, and was full of emotion: "Your mother is unwilling, so she will go to Master Zhang Qiu to predict the future for her." Who knows, Lord Zhang Qiu said that your mother will give birth to a noble daughter in the future, but this noble girl is not the Yang family.

Your mother is a scheming person, and she would rather never marry than be the prince's concubine, so she asked Lord Zhang Qiu to show her a clear way. After going back and forth like this, your mother fell in love with the erudite Lord Zhang Qiu and invited herself to serve Lord Zhang Qiu. ”

Lord Zhang Qiu was originally forcibly invited by the crown prince Yang Yong to the East Palace to be the crown prince's concubine, he did not see that Yang Yong had a short life, but when Emperor Wen of Sui had just ascended the throne, he knew that the eldest sons of the Yang family were not successful.

At that time, the crown prince Yang Yong, as a rich second generation, loved luxury, treasures, and liked to stay with people who were good-looking, well-written, and flattering.

As a little palace maid, Zhixiu thought very clearly, she was just a cheap life, rather than trying to please the prince all day long and be a concubine who would be eliminated at any time, it was better to find a way to be self-reliant and find a way to make a living for her future destination.

A talented scholar like Zhang Qiu Taiyi is not a woman, and he is not moved by fame and fortune, wouldn't it be more stable to serve such a person?

Aunt Zhang smiled: "Jin'er, your mother is very smart, she was afraid that the prince would be embarrassed, so she went to ask the queen mother, and she got her wish." ”

As it turned out, Zhixiu made the right choice.

Zhang Qiu Taiyi is a modest person, in addition to studying Buddhism, he also knows a lot about medicine, when he doesn't read the handwriting, he will chat with Zhixiu, and sometimes teach Zhixiu some simple medical knowledge.

It didn't take long for the crown prince Yang Yong to be demoted to a concubine, and the proud prince was reduced to a commoner, even a commoner, some of the servants in the palace were beheaded, and most of them were reduced to official slaves and maidservants.

Zhang Jin burst into tears when he heard this: "Has my father and mother also become official slaves and maidservants?" ”

Aunt Zhang wiped away her tears for Zhang Jin in distress: "Fortunately, Lord Zhang Qiu's knowledge is superb and appreciated by the emperor, so he said that if Lord Zhang Qiu is willing to stay in the court and be an official and a half-post, he can be exempted from death." Lord Zhang Qiu agreed to enter the court for your mother's questioning. And your mother, because she had learned from me how to eat, took me with her, and I was spared the fate of being a servant. ”

Zhang Jin's eyes widened: "What did my mother say?" ”

Aunt Zhang said: "Your mother said, 'Lord Zhang Qiu, Zhixiu's life is yours, and life and death will go with the adult, but the adult once said that Zhixiu's future child is a noble girl, and she will have a shocking act. If Zhixiu dies like this, will the noble girl still have a chance to be reincarnated? Or wait for Zhixiu to be reincarnated, and the noble girl will wait for more than ten years to be reincarnated? The number of the future that Lord Qiu knows is uncertain. ’”

Lord Zhang Qiu was actually asked, this paradox of time flow, as smart as Lord Zhang Qiu, also seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and after being stunned, he agreed.

"So my mother is so smart?" Zhang Jin couldn't help but sigh.

Aunt Zhang nodded: "Yes, since then, your mother has taken me and left the prince with Lord Zhang Qiu in a dignified manner." ”

"And my mother, when did I come into being?"

This question really stumped Aunt Zhang: "I don't know about this." Because Lord Zhang Qiu is old and doesn't look very strong, by the time I knew that your mother was pregnant, it was already half a year later. At that time, I was preparing a meal for Master Zhang Qiu, and your mother hurried to me with a small baggage, telling me to flee with her and save the child in her womb. ”

Since then, the road of escape has begun.

From Chang'an City to Luoyang, the two women still went on the road with the idea of escaping, and the fetus in Zhixiu's womb was only three months old, and the fetal image was just stable.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhixiu was hit by Liu Qing, who was still a little boy, and fell to the ground, causing fetal gas.

Zhang Jin's tears flowed out again: "Aunt Zhang, can't my mother's family be found?" ”

When Aunt Zhang mentioned the matter of Zhixiu's production, she was also in tears: "Your mother has been away from home for many years, and she still remembers the names of her parents and where she lives, but when I went to look for it, I couldn't find the people and things your mother said at all, and those neighbors said they didn't know." It's a pity, it's a pity, your mother entered Luoyang City, and died before she could return to her own doorstep. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang and Zhang Jin hugged each other, hugged their heads and cried.

After a long time, Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and said, "Jin'er, before your mother died, she took my hand and told me that if I can raise you, don't think about marrying any rich and noble family, don't be a noble girl, just be safe, healthy and healthy." ”

Zhang Jin was already crying speechless, and asked intermittently: "Then, how did my name come from?" ”

Aunt Zhang sighed: "It was when I found your master in Zhongnan Mountain, and after your master found your father again, he told him that Zhang Qiu's family had a queen, and Master Zhang Qiu wrote a letter and gave you this name." ”

Zhang Jin couldn't stop crying: "Gave me my name, but didn't recognize me." ”

Aunt Zhang shook her head: "Jin'er, your father's knowledge is very famous, and there are too many people who know him. Lord Zhang Qiu once said to your mother that the Si people are innocent and guilty. He has such a high talent and can't help himself, and if he wants to take care of you again, I'm afraid that he will lose his life! Fortunately, Lord Zhang Qiu said so, you have the opportunity to learn medical skills from your ancestors, and you have the opportunity to meet General Zhou! ”

In Aunt Zhang's eyes, Sun Shengshou's optimism and understanding, as well as Zhou Ziyu's generosity, tolerance and understanding, are all things that Master Zhang Qiu does not have. Following Master Zhang Qiu, who only knows how to study and does not know how to be flexible, Jin'er is only afraid that it will be easier to drill the horns.
