Volume 2: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches Eighty-Three: Reunion

On the wide road in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, wind and dust were raised in the distance, and a horse-drawn carriage slowly came from afar.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old Zhou Er stepped forward and said, "I have worked hard all the way, please go to the house to rest for a night." ”

The middle-aged man turned off the horse and ordered, "Lead the horse to feed it, and then clean up the upper room, my noble daughter will rest." ”

Zhou Er was surprised to take a look at the Xuan car parked behind, the body was tied with black paint, it was very spacious, and the black flag silk behind the car fluttered in the wind, painted with flying fish, and the crisp Luan Ling Yangyang.

I don't know which prince's daughter.

Zhou Er secretly thought in his heart.

"I'm sorry, master," he apologized, "If it's a weekday, the house will naturally be empty and waiting for the noble lady." It's just that, you see," he smiled brightly, "the Queen Mother's birthday is coming, and the princes from all sides are rushing to Chang'an to celebrate, we really can't do anything." He lowered his voice, "Now, the upper room is occupied by the envoy who sent congratulatory gifts to the King of Qi." ”

"It's not serious." Zhang Ji was slightly angry, "Just a Qi king's envoy, is it worth your grievances to my noble daughter?" ”

Zhou Er said with a smile, "That's it." The tone of the words changed, "It's just that this envoy is not an ordinary person, he is the brother-in-law of King Qi and the son of the Si family." ”

Looking at the flags on the car, this family is just the daughters of the princes, the princes of the Han Dynasty don't know how many, but the princes and kings only have a few names and surnames, all of whom are the relatives of Emperor Gao.

Zhang Ji sneered, "Then it shouldn't be." Since the princess is celebrating the birthday of the Queen Mother, how can he let the Queen Mother's own granddaughter live in a first-class room? ”

Zhou Er was very surprised and hesitated, "Who is the noble girl?" ”

Zhang Ji smiled proudly, "The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping, the nephew of the Son of Heaven is also." ”

After washing away the dust all the way, Zhang Yan changed her bedclothes and came out. Just as Tu Yu also brought the freshly boiled almond porridge into the room, Zhang Yan tasted it and praised, "The heat is just right, and it melts in your mouth." Cen Niang's craftsmanship has become more and more sophisticated. ”

"Lady," Xie Wei pushed the door in, and said with a smile, "The young man is asking to see him outside, do you want to see him?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Yan yawned and shook her head. "I'm tired." Relatives who can't be far away can't be far away, and it's not interesting to see them.

Xie Xie smiled and said to Sijun at the discharge door. "My noble daughter said that she received the son's wishes. It's just that she has just freshened up, and it is not suitable to see outsiders, so please forgive me. ”

He replied and turned back into his room. Fang said hatefully, "It's just a yellow-haired girl, what's frivolous?" Wait for a later date...... There's her good-looking. ”

"Childe shouldn't say this." The strategist in the room shook his head, "Now that Empress Dowager Lu is powerful, Marquis Xuanping is her son-in-law, although he is only a small prince. Don't wait on the bright side. It's just that," his voice was cold, "they have shallow roots. If one day that one day falls, he will not destroy himself, so why should you care? ”

Zhang Yan has had a problem with choosing a seat since she was a child, tossing and turning until midnight before falling asleep, and waking up the next day. The sky was already bright. I could hear movement outside the room, but it was the house that brought hot water in. A smile beckoned, "Come in." ”

With a click, Zhou Er nervously pushed the door in.

I heard the old man say that this noble girl is the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan, and she is the nephew of today's son-in-law, and she is extremely noble.

What will the princess's daughter look like? He thought about it all night, but he didn't figure it out.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a fragrant sweet fragrance and lowered his head unconsciously. Then she heard the sound of soft footsteps, and the girl in goose yellow commanded, "Put the water on the shelf." Taken aback, he looked up, the girl in front of him was about eleven or twelve years old, but he was the same age, and her unparalleled complexion was dazzling and mysterious.

"What's the stupid boy in a daze?" Xie reprimanded, "Put down the water and go out." ”

"Uh-" Zhou Er came back to her senses, hurriedly put down the copper basin, her heart was embarrassed and happy, I don't know for what reason, she wanted to please this beautiful girl who was not like a mortal, and stumbled, "I've already made breakfast, I'll serve it to you?" ”

Xie Wu and Tu Yu glanced at each other, and they both smiled secretly, Tu Yu didn't have a good breath, "My lady is not used to eating outside, so I bother my little brother." ”

Zhou Er's face was suddenly red, embarrassed, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Zhang Yan looked at him with a cute expression, smiled, picked up the fresh orange fruit in the fruit bowl on one side, and called, "Hey." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Er came back to his senses at a loss.

"Here's for you." She handed him the orange fruit, a shallow dimple on her left cheek.

Zhou Er took it stupidly, only to feel that the hand handed over was delicate and white like the white jade that the old man often said, and after withdrawing in a daze, he patted his head, "Oops, I forgot to say thank you to her." ”

Tu Xie Xie smiled and bent over, Xie Wei shook his head and said, "Lady, you are teasing the stupid child again." ”

Zhang Yan chuckled, let the dexterous hands of the two of them tie a crow bun for herself, and said, "In half a day, you can enter Chang'an." ”

When you enter Chang'an, you can see your mother.

With a "phew", Zhang Yan turned over and got on the horse.

"Lady." Zhang Ji arched his hand and persuaded, "It's windy on the road, so Mrs. Zhang should get into the car." ”

"Don't." Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I've been suffocated all the way, I'm already very close to Chang'an at this time, what can happen?" Rest assured. ”

Zhang Ji still needs to be persuaded again, Zhang Yan is naughty, and she whips her horsewhip.

The red steed beneath him neighed, and ran forward with his hooves.

"Lady." Zhang Ji shouted loudly, and said to the guard angrily, "Don't catch up with the lady and protect the lady." ”

The red horse under her seat is a rare famous horse, when Emperor Gao gave Xuanping Marquis, and was given to his daughter by Zhang Ao, the foot strength is outstanding, not ordinary ordinary horses, after a while, the guards will be far away, galloping for a quarter of an hour, looking up, the city in front of it is like a book, the word Xinfeng is written.

She reined in her horse and walked slowly along the water.

It has been a year since the last time I came to Xinfeng, Xinfeng has become more lively than in my memory, everyone in the market is selling, pedestrians come and go, and you can see the prosperous scene.

There was a child who was naughty, shooting with a slingshot, a stone was shot on the horse's leg, the horse was frightened and neighed, Zhang Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed the reins, trying to appease the horse. The horse had already taken a few steps forward, knocking down a man who had no time to dodge.

"I'm sorry." Zhang Yan hurriedly jumped off the horse and apologized, "Are you okay?" ”

The man jumped up and grabbed Zhang Yan's arm, "I'm sorry, okay?" If I am trampled to death by your horse, will you little girl pay for it? The smell of wine sprayed on Zhang Yan's face, and the smell of wine was full.

Zhang Yan was slightly startled, and struggled to break free and reprimanded, "Let go." ”

The drunkard grew more and more arrogant, squinting at the hoofed horse beside her. Haha laughed, "Since this beast hit me, you can pay it to me." Lao Tzu cooked it and ate it. It's revenge. ”

"Nonsense." Zhang Yan's annoyed face turned red, "I didn't bump into you at all." ”

"Yo, the little lady refuses to pay." He burped and teased, "Then trade you for the horse." Lao Tzu suffered a loss, so he admitted it. The other hand was about to touch her face.

Cold sweat was dripping down, and Zhang Yan hurriedly dodged, only then did she feel regretful. The reasonable can't talk horizontally, and the sober can't fight the drunk. If you run out alone for a while, if you really suffer. Even if it is cast into the iron of Kyushu, it is difficult to write a word of hate.

There are all over the street watching the play, but no one is willing to come out to help.

Rao is Zhang Yan is smart and clever. Faced with this situation, there is no other way than to scream a few times and rely on physical struggle.

"Bang." A powerful fist slammed into the drunkard's vest.

"What kind of ability is it to bully a weak woman." The visitor hooked his little finger and smiled. "Come, come. The punch just now was hit by me, uncle, if you have the ability, let me compensate you too. ”

The drunken man got up from the ground, shook his head, roared angrily, and pounced.

Zhang Yan was shocked, shook her wrist that had been held by the man in disgust, and looked at it again, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I haven't seen it for a year, although the man in blue in the field looks taller and his eyebrows are thicker, his appearance is still the same as before, and he is actually Fan Ling.

She heard intermittently that in the year she left, Fan Ling performed a crown ceremony, and there was an extra word called Weiji. Empress Dowager Lu trusted this nephew and ordered him to be the general of Changle and defend the court.

So, since Fan Yan is here, then come with him-

Zhang Yan suddenly heard her heart pounding.

She turned around and looked in the direction where Fan Ling had come from, and suddenly froze there.

At the roadside restaurant, a young man in Xuanyi who looked a little anxious hurried down from the upper floor.

- Uncle.

Liu Ying first patrolled her up and down to confirm that she was not injured, and then put away her anxious expression, then remembered the estrangement between the two when she left Beijing last time, slightly embarrassed, and stood in the distance and stared at her quietly.

For a moment, Zhang Yan seemed to see herself a year ago through time, the awkward girl who was afraid of the fate written in history and pretended to be cold, and used her own hands to draw the prison that circled her.

A year is not too long, nor is it short.

It is said that it is not long, because it intersects with a long life, like a snap of a finger.

It is said that it is not short because it only takes one year to make a lot of progress.

She is still reluctant to marry her uncle, but she has learned to recognize that this marriage has nothing to do with each other's feelings.

Even if they are still close to each other, as long as they are resolute in the face of that absurd marriage that may be pushed in front of them in the future, how can Empress Lu really press her head without drinking water and force her son and granddaughter to get married?

On the other hand, if Empress Dowager Lu is really determined to promote this marriage, how can she care whether her uncle and her relationship are close or distant?

Zhang Yan, who figured this out, looked at herself from afar and smiled dumbly.

Zhang Yan took a deep breath. watched as those hidden guards poured up from all around, protecting Liu Ying as if they were nothing.

always reunites when you are caught off guard, which can't hide the surprise that is deliberately suppressed.

The time of parting melts all the accumulated resistance like snow in the sun. When I see you again, I have to admit that I couldn't be happier.

She then smiled and called out from afar, "Uncle." ”

The smile is warm, as if all the barriers have never existed.

So Liu Ying, who was surrounded by her, was slightly stunned, and then smiled heartlessly.
