Chapter 188: Two-front combat
Zhang Yuelu is very familiar with Wangyunxuan, she just worshipped Cihang Zhenren as a teacher, but did not go to Putuo Island, has been living in Yunjin Mountain, at that time Cihang Zhenren was still the head of Jiangnan Province, only occasionally went to Dazhenfu, and taught Zhang Yuelu to practice the "Cihang Pudu Sword Codex".
When Cihang Zhenren came to Dazhenfu, he naturally lived in Wangyunxuan, so to speak, Zhang Yuelu learned the "Sword Scroll" of "Cihang Pudu Sword Dictionary" in Wangyunxuan, because the course was too tight, she often stayed here, every time she stayed, Cihang Zhenren sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, she practiced swords in the courtyard, and practiced until the bright moon hung high before she could sleep, could she not be familiar?
It's just that Zhang Yuelu at that time probably wouldn't have thought that she would live in this courtyard in another capacity many years later.
Zhang Yuelu still lived in the room of the year and did not go to the master's room. She walked around the room, and although it was cleaned every day, she found that some of the small things she had left here when she was a child were actually intact, and there was a little surprise that she had reunited with old friends.
Zhang Yuelu continued to leave them here, and then planned to go to Guanyuxuan to find Qi Xuansu.
As a result, as soon as she went out, she met Taiqiong and Zhang Yuyue, and there was also Zhang Yuqi, who was obviously unwilling to come but had to come.
The faces of these two women are not very good-looking, and the Taiqiong is violent, with the intention of asking the teacher to ask for guilt, Zhang Yuyue is a little lost and depressed, and her face is dazed.
Zhang Yuelu sighed helplessly, stopped, and saluted the three of them.
Tantai Qiong got straight to the point and said, "Qingxiao, why did you bring that kid again?" ”
"Who's that kid?" Zhang Yuelu pretended not to know.
Tan Taiqiong narrowed her eyes: "You know who I'm talking about, Qi Xuansu." ”
"Mother said it was him, can't he come?" Zhang Yuelu's tone was indifferent, "If my mother has any objections, you can raise them with Ah Weng." ”
"Awn." Taiqiong's tone was a little colder, "I don't know, when you became the granddaughter of the Heavenly Master, no wonder you don't take me as a mother in your eyes, it turns out that the Heavenly Master is behind your back." ”
Zhang Yuyue's face was also a little unpleasant.
Zhang Yuelu didn't want to have a head-on conflict with his mother, and said: "Because Qi Tianyuan came to the Great True Mansion, it was agreed by the Heavenly Master, so I said that if my mother has any proposals, you can go and put it forward to the Heavenly Master." ”
Taiqiong snorted coldly: "You don't want to use the Heavenly Master to suppress me, if it weren't for you, how could the Heavenly Master invite him to the Great True Mansion?" ”
Zhang Yuelu asked rhetorically, "Why can't I invite Qi Tianyuan to the Great True Mansion?" Was it just because his mother didn't like him? But he is not his mother's person, he has to see his mother's face and listen to his mother's orders. He is a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Dao, and he is also the deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall. ”
"As a daughter, do you have to do it against me? Isn't it enough that your mother doesn't like him? "Tan Tai Qiong is-for-tat.
Zhang Yuelu said: "I am not only the daughter of my parents, but also a Taoist priest of Taoism, but also a person with an independent personality, with my own thoughts, joys, sorrows, and sorrows. So can my mother consider my feelings? It was a deliberate decision I made, not for my mother, but for an important part of my life plan. ”
From beginning to end, Zhang Yuelu used a very formal title - mother, rather than "mother" and "mother", which was also used to show his tough attitude.
Tan Taiqiong was about to speak, but Zhang Yuqi finally spoke: "Anyway, after all, people have saved Qingxiao, jumped to the sky, and died nine times in life, shouldn't this be thankful?" The last time people came to Yunjin Mountain, you did so many tricks and feet in secret, and they didn't care, shouldn't this crime be compensated? Since you want to thank you for your sins, you naturally have to invite people over. ”
Tan Taiqiong glanced at her husband fiercely.
Zhang Yuqi just didn't see it. In fact, family status is also closely related to the position of power, if Zhang Yuqi is a real person, then he will definitely be able to make a statement, and Zhang Yuelu's marriage will not have so many twists and turns, but he does not have such a status, and his status in the family will naturally not be high, whether he wants to or not, he will be overwhelmed by Taiqiong.
Zhang Yuyue took a deep breath and persuaded Taiqiong: "People have already come, we can't drive him out anymore, so don't worry about these anymore." ”
Taiqiong's chest heaved deeply, and she didn't speak again.
After all, it was a family, and Zhang Yuelu didn't want to make it too difficult???????????????? Look, and she didn't have any contradictions with her father Zhang Yuqi, so she had to temporarily dismiss the idea of seeing Qi Xuansu and let the three of them into Wangyunxuan.
Zhang Yuelu didn't blindly defend, and after coming to the main hall, he took the initiative to speak: "I once heard a vulgar saying, men want other people's wives to be an independent person, but they want their wives to be their vassals. In the same way, the mentality of parents is somewhat similar, not only hoping that their children can survive independently from their wings, but also hoping that their children will always listen to themselves and become their vassals. This is what Confucianism requires, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. It's just that we don't pay attention to this set of Taoism, Taoism pays attention to equality, I said, I am not only the daughter of my parents, but also a Taoist priest of Taoism, I can't do things that violate the purpose of Taoism, and I hope my mother won't do it. ”
Taiqiong's face suddenly turned pale.
On the other side, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were very good at heart, and they also wanted to come to see Zhang Yuelu, but they met an unexpected guest.
Zhang Yuping.
Zhang Yuelu's uncle has a good relationship with Zhang Yuqi. Sanpin Youyi Taoist priest, served as an assistant in the Shangqing Palace.
This is not the first time the two have met, as early as when Qi Xuansu first came to Yunjin Mountain, Zhang Yuping had seen him, and at the same time, Zhang Jiping was also one of the few elders who had seen Qi Xuansu, and others, such as Zhang Yucheng and others, did not meet Qi Xuansu at all, after all, Qi Xuansu at that time couldn't even cross the threshold of the Great True Mansion, and it seemed that there was no need to waste time.
The last time Qi Xuansu met Zhang Jiping, he was both a junior and a subordinate, the two were naturally unequal, Zhang Jiping was very polite, but the condescension in it could not be erased because of Zhang Jiping's attitude, Qi Xuansu was in a lower position and put on a lower posture, which is an objective fact.
But now it is very different, if you talk about positions, the two are equal, and their status is equal.
Qi Xuansu invited Zhang Yuping in, if there is no relationship with Zhang Yuelu, there is no problem for him to call him "Brother Zhang Dao", but with the relationship of Zhang Yuelu, he is not good at calling "Brother Dao", he and Zhang Yuelu have no certain relationship, and it is not good to follow Zhang Yuelu to call uncle, so he used a more formal title: "Since the last time I said goodbye to Zhang Fuli in the Shangqing Palace, it has been more than a year, Zhang Fuli has been good recently?" ”
"Everything's fine." Zhang Yuping smiled slightly, "It's the deputy hall master of Qi, the time has not been peaceful for more than a year, it can be said that the southern and northern wars have gone half the world." ”
"Don't dare to be." Qi Xuansu said humbly.
Zhang Yuping sighed with emotion: "The last time I saw you, you asked me what I said about you, and I said that it was just a one-sided relationship, not an evaluation." When I saw you this time, I heard a lot about your deeds, and I didn't dare to comment rashly, so I could only borrow my brother's words, which was terrifying. ”
The brother in Zhang Kuping's mouth, if he doesn't add other prefixes, then he specifically refers to one person - Zhang Kucheng.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to say: "Zhang Fuli has won the award." ”
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also quickly thought about Zhang Yuping's intention in his heart.
In his style, he usually gets straight to the point and asks Zhang Kuping what he does. But not in the Zhang family, this is his future Yue's family, and he always has to pay attention to some sophistication. opened his mouth to ask directly, it seems that Qi Xuansu is thousands of miles away, and he is too arrogant, can't he come to see you if he has nothing to do? Your shelves are too big, aren't they? So Qi Xuansu can't ???????????????? Ask directly, you can only guess for yourself.
The two talked about some gossip again, half public and half private, the official business was to talk about their views on the war in Fenglinzhou, and most of the private affairs revolved around Zhang Yuelu.
In fact, Qi Xuansu is not good at these, but as Zhang Yuelu said, he can learn, so he can barely cope with it.
After talking like this for two moments, Zhang Kuping finally explained his intentions: "Now the Zhang family, the Heavenly Master is the patriarch and the patriarch, but we also know that the Heavenly Master has not spent too much time in the world, as far as I know, the Heavenly Master did not have the idea of trying to cross the catastrophe, so the Heavenly Master began to arrange the aftermath a few years ago, except for the arrangements related to Daomen and Zhengyi, that is, the arrangements for the Zhang family, the Heavenly Master has gradually handed over the power of the patriarch to his brother. ”
Qi Xuansu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "The real person in the palace wants to see me?" ”
Zhang Jiping couldn't help but glance at Qi Xuansu, and said succinctly: "Yes." ”
In a sense, Zhang Kucheng did not despise Qi Xuansu, he did not find someone to summon Qi Xuansu casually, nor did he come to the door directly, but found Zhang Yuping, who had a good relationship with Zhang Yuelu and had contact with Qi Xuansu, to meet Qi Xuansu, not only gave Qi Xuansu enough courtesy, but also somewhat probed Qi Xuansu's tone.
Obviously, Qi Xuansu does not have such weight, it can be seen that it is the actions of the Heavenly Master, which gave this real person in charge of the palace a great shock, and he can't help but think more.
Qi Xuansu did not refuse, as Zhang Yuelu said, things always have to be faced, problems always have to be solved, and escape is not a way. Besides, since Zhang Kucheng is willing to see him, then he has to talk about it, and the wisdom of the real person in charge of the palace will definitely not do the thing of "giving you 500,000 Taiping money to leave Zhang Yuelu".
So he asked, "When?" ”
Zhang Yuping said: "Brother has to report to the Heavenly Master today on all matters related to the Shangqing Palace and the family, because the Heavenly Master has been away from Yunjin Mountain for half a year, so all kinds of affairs are complicated and time-consuming, and my brother should not have time." What do you think tomorrow afternoon? Just in time for lunch. ”
Qi Xuansu thought about it for a while and agreed: "There is no problem." ”
Zhang Yuping got up and said, "In that case, I'll go back and tell my brother." ”
Qi Xuansu got up to send him off.
