Chapter 174 There is a family in the imperial capital

A few days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the imperial capital city is particularly lively.

In the past few days, Zhang Xiyun and the four of them have lived in the Chaolai Inn, and they can be regarded as deeply aware that the inn is much more lively than usual, with people coming in and leaving, and the seats are full.

The head of the Song family's injuries gradually improved, and he finally woke up yesterday.

Not long after waking up, Zhang Xiyun notified the Criminal Department according to An Luping's request, but also left Wu Yu for a period of time before that.

A long time later, he heard Wu Yu say that when he knelt in front of the head of the Song family, the head of the Song family cried bitterly, and he didn't shed another tear, just kept repeating the words that he would avenge Song Jinyao.

That seems to be Zhang Xiyun's memory, the last time Wu Yu knelt down to others, and for a long time after that, Wu Yu did not respect heaven and earth, did not worship gods and Buddhas, and believed only in himself.

Later, the Criminal Department took away the head of the Song family, and Zhang Xiyun made a special trip to ask Xu Chuan to take care of him before the punishment was executed.

A few days later, An Luping left Beijing and went to that village.

Mu Shiyan was busy consolidating her cultivation, and she had already started retreat, so Zhang Xiyun had nothing to do, so she often wandered around the street with Chen Chen.

A few days ago, Zhang Xiyun also went to Ruan's Mansion to visit Ruan Qingni, who was as before, and Ruan Menghe, who seemed to be becoming more and more vicissitudes.

Ruan's mansion is plastered with red couplets, looking joyful, but very deserted.

The little girl who could make the whole Ruan Mansion lively is still lying on the bed, waiting for him to wake up.

However, his time in the Qin Heavenly Prison was still short, so she could only wait.

In the end, Zhang Xiyun could only whisper in her ear as before: "Don't be afraid, Brother Zhang will definitely wake you up, and then see how you are alive." ”

The closer the Chinese New Year gets, the more lonely Zhang Xiyun's heart becomes.

The huge imperial capital is prosperous like a dream, but there is no feeling of home after all.

After reincarnation, in the early years, in the back mountain of Tiansheng Peak, there were always great-grandfathers and several grandparents who were accompanied by their long lives, and they had already faded their thoughts about the New Year, but it also made Zhang Xiyun feel at home.

Later, on Yuxuan Peak, the senior brothers and sisters would cook some good dishes every year, rarely eat meat, drink some wine, talk and laugh, and keep the New Year together, which also made him very warm.

This year, it was the first time he spent the New Year at the foot of the mountain, but fortunately he met Chenchen and them, and he finally had company, and it was not too lonely.

In fact, Ruan Menghe also invited him to celebrate the New Year together, but Zhang Xiyun thought about it and still refused, the reasons were a little unclear, but he always felt that he owed something.

"Well, I know how you feel. Chen Chen looked at Zhang Xiyun's face and sighed, "I went down the mountain earlier than you, and I will want to go back to the mountain for the New Year, and I don't know if the senior brother and sister are good, and the master and his old man are ......good."

"This year, I still have you with me, last year, I was alone in the mountains, very lonely, when I think of the scene on the mountain, I can't help but want to cry. ”

When Zhang Xiyun heard this, he smiled dumbly and said, "You are different from me, don't you have a home under the mountain?"

"After going down the mountain for so long, I didn't think about going back to see it?"

Chen Chen pursed his lips and said, "Hey, when I was young, it was my family, they threw me to the mountain, and now tell me to go back early, hum, I won't do it, I'll be angry with them!"

"Besides, they don't know that I have already gone down the mountain, and I have been acting under the name of 'Zhao Zilong' since I came down the mountain. ”

The two walked aimlessly on the street, Zhang Xiyun looked at Chenchen, couldn't help laughing, remembering that he had seen many little girls looking at Zhao Zilong's name on the mortal dust list with admiration, imagining that he was a handsome young man.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Chen was puzzled.

Zhang Xiyun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I didn't laugh at anything." ”

Then he quickly changed the topic and said, "But to be honest, when you have time, you should go home and take a look, why haven't your parents missed you all these years?"

Chen Chen pursed his lips again, noncommittal, and said: "But I really have to go back, at least I have to figure out the matter of the soul soldier, otherwise my heart will always itch." ”

"That's right. Chen Chen thought of something again, "Actually, in the past few years, I have never heard you mention your parents......"

Zhang Xiyun's face darkened, and he said for a while: "I don't remember anymore, what do they look like and what kind of people they are......"

What he said was both past and present lives.

"Look at my mouth, stinky boy, don't take it to heart. Chen Chen knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he said busily.

Zhang Xiyunqiang smiled and said, "It's okay, actually, it's not like I don't have relatives anymore, right?"

Chen Chen let out a long breath and said, "When I first learned that you were Elder Murong's grandson, I was taken aback, wait, in this way, your kid wouldn't have grown up in the Heavenly Sage Hou Mountain, right?"

Zhang Xiyun nodded, and Chen Chen exclaimed, "Really?"

"Then weren't you raised by the elders of the Later Elders since you were a child!"

Chen Chen patted his chest and said bitterly: "No wonder you are so perverted when you practice, no wonder the master is willing to accept you as an apprentice, senior brother, they always say that I went through the back door back then, and you are the one who went through the back door!"

Zhang Xiyun was embarrassed and said: "I climbed up the Qingyun Ladder step by step, you haven't even been to the Qingyun Ladder, who is the one who walks through the back door?"

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiyun also felt puzzled, what kind of family background is Chenchen, just go through the back door, but he can actually worship under the master, you must know that the master may be the only one who is in charge of the innate gossip, if you really want to talk about it, it will not be weaker than grandpa Zhang Yong.

Chen Chen glanced at Zhang Xiyun, in fact, he had a guess in his heart as to why Zhang Xiyun chose to come to the Imperial Capital City after coming down the mountain, and even entered the Dragon Court.

He had vaguely heard that Elder Murong had only one daughter under his knees, and she died in her early years, but her husband was the largest mountain in the world today.

Emperor Zhang Yong!

And under the emperor's knees, there was a son who died in his early years.

It's just that he won't ask these words, even if it's true, this is also Zhang Xiyun's family matter, and outsiders are not easy to ask, not to mention that it may even involve all kinds of secrets.

The two chatted a lot, and before they knew it, they walked back to the door of the Morning Inn.

When he was about to go in, Zhang Xiyun caught a glimpse of a family of four on the side, and he was happy, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, and he was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Chen Chen said strangely.

Zhang Xiyun hesitated: "You go back first, I suddenly remembered something, I want to go into the inner city." ”

Chen Chen thought that he was going to Qin Tianjian for a trip, but he didn't care, but said, "Come back early, let's keep the New Year together tonight." ”

Zhang Xiyun smiled, said hello, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the inner city of the imperial capital.

......

The inner city of the imperial capital, although the city is also full of lights, is much more deserted than the outer city.

After all, not everyone is qualified to enter the inner city of the imperial capital.

Here is located the center of the entire imperial capital city, six departments and several courtyards, and those who can live in the city for a long time are all important ministers of the Dragon Court, or great monks in the world.

There is one of the largest mansions in the inner city, which is so imposing that some people once said that it is not even inferior to the imperial city.

That's Zhang's house.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even here is also full of lights, and the huge Zhang Mansion also looks jubilant.

Outside the door of Zhang's mansion, the artillery battle was hung up early, and the people of Zhang's mansion were busy inside and outside the mansion, and there were also many courtiers who came to the door at this time, in the name of New Year's greetings, and wanted to lean on the big tree of the Zhang family.

There are not many people in the Zhang family, and the two main mothers have passed away, and this year the emperor left Beijing.

Now the entire Zhang Mansion seems to have no owner.

The eldest son, Zhang Tianyi, has already set up his own door because of his relationship with the emperor, and may only return to this mansion during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, it has always been the big housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion who is in charge of the huge Zhang Mansion.

The old man who was waiting at the door early today was full of smiles, just because Zhang Tianyi's family was about to return home for the New Year.

This old man is the chief butler of the Zhang Mansion, although he is only a person under his name, but in the entire imperial capital, this old man's words may be more effective than the words of the six books.

The old man's name is Zhang Ping, Zhang is the surname, and no one has remembered the real surname.

Many years ago, when Zhang Yong first met the first emperor, this old man was already Zhang Yong's servant, until now.

Even the two brothers, Zhang Tianyi and Zhang Tianfan, were taken care of by him, and he had to call Uncle Ping.

It is rumored that the cultivation of this Zhang Mansion housekeeper is also unfathomable, and he even received Zhang Yong's order to break through the Hanlin Academy, and none of the Hanlin Bachelors were his opponents.

"Grandpa Ping!"

A crisp call sounded, and the old man followed the voice, and the smile on the old man's face deepened.

I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl running over and throwing herself into the old man's arms.

"Oh, Rui Fan really wants to be grandpa Ping!"

The Zhang family on the side saw it, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Miss." ”

The old man was overjoyed, pinched the girl's cheek, and said, "Grandpa doesn't believe it, you little girl, if you really miss grandpa, how can you not come back to see grandpa!"

"Come on, come on, let grandpa see, have you grown up?"

The girl has a playful face, small and delicate facial features, and is full of beauty embryos.

"I've really grown up, and my cultivation has also improved, that's good, that's good. ”

Immediately, the old man asked again, "What about your father and mother?"

"They were behind, and they came. The girl replied.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw a middle-aged man in a golden flying fish robe, followed by a beautiful woman, and a man about eighteen or nine years old.

The people saluted.

"Uncle Ping, are you okay?"

The middle-aged man greeted the old man, but the old man's face was grim, hiding his inner joy, and he snorted.

Zhang Tianyi rarely showed a helpless look and smiled bitterly.

However, the beautiful woman beside him chuckled lightly and said, "Uncle Ping, don't blame Tianyi, you also know him, it's not that he doesn't want to come back to see you." ”

The old man blew his beard and glared, his chest rose and fell, and said, "I have lived for most of my life, I don't know, what kind of overnight feud the father and son will have, do you really want to go on like this for the rest of your life!?"

Zhang Tianyi was speechless, the old man in front of him had brought him up since he was a child, even if he was now a god of the Criminal Department, he didn't dare to say a word.

The girl hurriedly reached out and stroked the old man's chest, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa Ping, don't be angry, it's Daddy's fault, who made him this donkey's temper!"

This family of four is Zhang Tianyi's family.

His wife's name is Lu Xin'er, his son Zhang Nianfan, and his daughter Zhang Ruifan.

Zhang Nianfan also hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded the old man with a smile.

The two children laughed and persuaded like this, and the old man couldn't put down that face anymore, sighed, and muttered: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

He raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Tianyi again, and sighed: "You muddy boy, you have been so stubborn since you were a child!"

When the two siblings heard this, they snickered on the side, only their father had ever reprimanded their brother and sister, but every time they went back here, they could hear Grandpa Ping reprimanding their father, which was really a joy every year.

"Okay, since you came early, don't rush in, wait for the firecrackers to be released, and those courtiers, you can also see them, come over one after another, for fear that no one will know what they are planning!"

Zhang Tianyi responded and stood respectfully beside the old man.

The two brothers and sisters couldn't stay still, they grew up under the green trees since they were children, and they were still childish, and they had already laughed and ran to the side to play.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for another group of ministers to come together, and suddenly there was a lively scene outside Zhang's mansion.

The two brothers and sisters were bored on the side, and Zhang Ruifan said: "Brother, a few days ago, my mother taught me another method, but I don't practice enough and can't master it, why don't you try it with me?"

Zhang Nianfan became interested when he heard this, and said, "Mother's teaching?"

"Well, my mother said it was the inheritance of the sect!"

"That's bound to be not bad, it's a pity that only women can practice my mother's method, come on, let me see it!"

Zhang Ruifan smiled and said, "Brother, then you have to be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, her beautiful eyes picked lightly and shot instantly.

With a light swipe of the backhand, a sword light suddenly rose, crossed a long arc, and rushed straight towards Zhang Nianfan!

"Good time!"

Zhang Nianfan smiled, took half a step back, and said, "I'll let you have one hand, don't say I'm bullying you!"

So saying, he put his right hand behind his back.

The two brothers and sisters are not bad in cultivation, even if they are not talented, they can be born in the Zhang family, and they are destined to be not bad.

Zhang Nianfan's gossip is complete, and Zhang Ruifan has also knocked on six doors.

The sound of the sword sounded, Zhang Tianyi glanced at it, frowned, and his wife smiled and said, "These two children really can't be quiet for a moment." ”

The sword light is staggered, and the fists and feet go back and forth, and the two of them have more than ten moves back and forth.

Zhang Ruifan chuckled slyly, kicked his footsteps, leaned forward, and stabbed the soul sword.

Zhang Nianfan was stunned when he saw this, knowing that this was the swordsmanship taught by his mother, so he immediately dodged, and his body turned to the side, but he didn't know that he had fallen into a trap!

Zhang Ruifan's body was light, his wrist turned lightly, and his footsteps were empty, but he followed closely, and then the sword turned and slashed straight away.

Zhang Nianfan couldn't dodge, he was shocked, and he stretched out his other hand without pretending, and he blocked it with a flicker, and the backhand sword light fell!

"Brother, you Laipi!" Zhang Ruifan was also surprised, but he didn't expect his brother to use his right hand, so he hurriedly shouted.

At this moment, her aura failed to keep up, and the method that she had not yet been able to hold suddenly rose up, causing her body to suddenly lose her strength, and her protective strength was gone, and she stumbled in her steps.

Zhang Nianfan noticed it and was shocked, but he didn't have time to withdraw the sword light.

"Rui Fan, get out of the way!"

Not far away, Zhang Tianyi heard the shout, turned his head to look, his face changed, but he didn't have time to stop it.

The mother-in-law of the two exclaimed in surprise, and the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion was also shocked, and was almost about to make a move.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly came, grabbing Zhang Ruifan, who was about to fall, and at the same time, the majestic sword qi swept by, a few inches in front of him, cutting off the sword light and shattering it.

It was Zhang Xiyun, who had been hiding in the distance and looking at Zhang's Mansion with a complicated expression. (To be continued.) )
