Chapter Eighty-Six: Coming to the Capital
"Hey, it looks like the clue is broken again!" Zhang Zezhen sighed.
"It doesn't matter, Zhenzhen, we still have time, and we will definitely find this person behind the scenes."
"Hmm!"
"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll do it, you guys take a break here, soon!"
"I'll come, auntie."
"Sit down, girl! You are the saviors of my Kim family, how could you be allowed to do these things? I'm going to be soon!"
Zhang Zezhen did not shirk again, but obeyed the wishes of the eldest mother.
"Teacher, you are the prime minister, it shouldn't be a problem to investigate these things, right?"
"You don't know that." Xiao Tian took over and said, "Although Mr. is in a high position, he has always been by the emperor's side, and the ministers below have their own ghosts, so it is difficult to determine who did it."
"That being said, it's not all clueless. There are not many ministers in high positions, most of them are old ministers, and the people who really want to take the interests of the DPRK and China as their own are none other than those two people."
"Teacher, do you have the answer in mind?"
"I can't say that yet, it's just that there is a suspicion, but I can't be sure, if it's really that person, then there will be trouble."
"Teacher, why do you say that? Is that person powerful? More powerful than you and the emperor?"
"He is the emperor's own uncle."
Zhang Zezhen: ......
The air suddenly became quiet, and she and Xiao Tian picked up the water cup on the table, and quickly took a sip of water, suppressing the shock.
"The meal is ready, the meal is ready!" The old woman and her grandson each came up with a plate of vegetables.
"It smells so good! I hurried to look, and I was dying of hunger!"
Zhang Zezhen took the plate in the child's hand, and when she saw the dish, she asked with a surprised face, "Is this Feng Fei's wish?"
"Yes!" The old woman nodded.
"You can make this dish too?"
"Will do! I've been researching this recipe ever since it came to me, and one day three years ago, I found the right recipe for this dish."
"But the secret recipe you gave me was set up with a mechanism."
"This is all explained by Liang Liang before he disappeared, she seems to know what is going to happen, so I must put up obstacles before handing it over to others, if it is given to the wrong person, it will not cause trouble to that person."
"Auntie, I've always been curious, why did you think I was the one who was destined in the first place?"
"Maybe it's because of the piece of jade you're wearing?"
"Jade!" Zhang Zezhen felt that she had come to the wrong place, "I didn't take out this piece of jade that day!"
"Every piece of jade has spirituality, and when it meets the right person, it sends out an invitation, and I can feel it."
"Auntie, you are a man of God!"
"Girl, don't tease me, how can I, a person who can't even read a single big character, be a god? It's funny, it's funny!"
"Auntie, you don't know this! There are two kinds of great wisdom in the world, one is the knowledgeable and the second is the knowledgeable, because they have no knowledge at all, because they can understand the aura of heaven and earth."
"Hahaha! Zhenzhen is right! You are definitely a man of great wisdom!" Lu Gaozhi also agreed with the apprentice's statement.
"Anyway, I haven't eaten this dish since your last wedding, and I'm lucky enough to taste it again today, so I have to try it quickly."
"Move the chopsticks quickly, how about trying my handiwork?" Can you compare to Miss Zhang?"
All three picked up chopsticks, and one of them took a bite of food.
"Wow! It's so delicious! Auntie, are your whole family's cooking skills so good?"
"It's over, it's over. Speaking of this cooking, one of the elders of my family was once called the god of cooking, and I heard that he passed on this cooking skill from generation to generation, and we don't know how many generations it is!"
"The Jin family is amazing!" Zhang Zezhen praised while eating.
"Although he is from the Jin family, his surname is not Jin, but Zhang."
Zhang Zezhen suddenly stopped eating in her mouth
object, asked suspiciously, "Why is the surname Zhang?"
"It seems that because his previous generation had some conflicts with the ancestors of the Jin family, this person took his mother's surname."
"Zhang? Isn't that the same last name as you?" Xiao Tian teased.
"Zhenzhen, it seems that you and the Jin family are really destined, otherwise this recipe can be passed on to you!"
"Oh, teacher, look at you, and tease me again!"
"I'm telling you the truth!"
"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter.
"After eating, we will rest early, and we will have to hurry tomorrow morning, so we must rush back to the capital as soon as possible."
The other two nodded.
"The guest rooms have been arranged, but I don't have a few rooms in this small place, so I can only grieve the prime minister and the military to live in the east wing, and Miss Zhang to live in the smaller west wing."
"It's already good, auntie, thanks to you this time, otherwise it would have rained so hard outside, and we would have become soup chickens a long time ago!"
"It's all as it should be."
"By the way, here are some of my coils, for you, maybe you will need it later."
"Oh, we can't ask for this, we took your money last time, and we can't take anything this time." The old woman desperately pushed away.
Zhang Zezhen explained: "Auntie, if you listen to me, just accept it, after I arrived in the capital, I relied on my teacher to live, at that time, I ate and drank spicy food, do I still need this money?"
Lu Gaozhi was suddenly used as a shield, although he was a little surprised, but he still said very favorably: "You just accept it, Zhenzhen is right, when we get to the capital, can we still lose her?"
"That's the eldest lady, she just wants to find a long-term meal ticket, if you don't accept it, why is she embarrassed to lick her face and ask for it?"
Hearing Xiao Tian's answer, Zhang Zezhen was very dissatisfied, and said angrily, "Hammer! You shut up! Speak again, and I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Hammer? Do you mean me? Xiao Tian reacted and said, "Who do you say is the hammer? Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you!"
"Teacher, your military is going to beat people, do you care?"
"Oh, tell me about the two of you, you've been arguing all the way, why don't you stop eating?"
"Humph!" The two turned their heads, ignoring the other.
"Auntie, you must hold the entanglement, otherwise you will be stared at by the villain." Although Zhang Zezhen was talking to the old woman, her eyes were staring straight at Xiao Tian.
"Whom?"
"Xiao Tian! How old is it? Why don't you have any manliness at all?" Lu Gaozhi stopped the quarrel.
He turned to the old woman and said, "Take it, you will need more money in the future." We are going to the capital this time, I don't know when we will be able to pick you up, these entanglements can help you solve some problems. Not to mention, there are children."
"Well, then we'll take it, name, why don't you thank you, Lord, Miss, and Sir?"
"Thank you, sir, miss!"
"That's good! Eat it!"
After the meal, the three of them went back to their rooms and prepared to wash and sleep.
Lu Gaozhi was very old, and he was tired from running around on the road, so he fell asleep soon after lying down. In order to ensure everyone's safety, Xiao Tian is only in a half-asleep state.
Zhang Zezhen couldn't sleep at all, she wasn't worried about going to the capital, besides, if she had an accident, she might be able to return to the real world. But the only thing she can't let go of is Xu Yue.
If Xu Yue can't be rescued before the execution, maybe the husband and wife will only be separated by yin and yang in this life.
"Xu Yue, you must wait for me!" Zhang Zezhen read silently in her mouth, and then slowly fell asleep accompanied by her thoughts.
The next morning, the rain cleared.
"Zhenzhen, clean up, it's time to go!"
When Zhang Zezhen heard the shout, she got up from the bed in a daze, and found that the sky was slightly bright, but time was pressing, so she could only beat her spirits, pat her face hard, and then clean up as quickly as possible.
"I'm all right!"
"Auntie, we're leaving! Take care of yourself and your children, maybe in two days you will be able to see them."
"Okay, okay, you must pay attention to safety on the road, and the road will be safe!"
The three of them waved their hands, said goodbye to the old woman, and rode away.
After entering the capital, Zhang Zezhen was shocked by the scene in front of her, she never thought that the ancient capital was more magnificent than the real capital.
There is a lot of traffic, bright lights, all kinds of juggling, everything is here, and people dress elegantly and fashionably, not inferior to modern people.
"Village girl! Were you shocked by what you saw? Call brother, I'll take you around in the time, or I'll leave you on the street later!"
Zhang Zezhen glared at Xiao Tian, ignored it, and went directly to Lu Gaozhi to complain, "Teacher, you don't care about the broken-mouthed man next to you, he always bullies me......
Lu Gaozhi couldn't see the girl being coquettish, so he could only criticize Xiao Tian and said, "You said you! How did it become like this now? People are virgin girls, you should let it, why don't you choose what to say?"
Zhang Zezhen listened to the teacher angrily scolding Xiao Tian, and she took advantage of his inattention, stuck out her tongue at Xiao Tian and made a grimace.
Xiao Tian didn't dare to go against the grain, so he could only hold back his anger and say, "Got it! Teacher!"
"Teacher, is this far from the palace?"
"It's not far off! A mile further on. Look, that's it!"
"Wow! It's like a castle!"
Zhang Zezhen secretly sighed, although in modern times, she has also browsed a lot of places of interest, but they are just visiting, and there is not much feeling, now she has traveled to ancient times, under the background of the atmosphere, it is simply spectacular!
"There's barbecue here?" Zhang Zezhen exclaimed.
"What's so strange about that? This is the capital, and everything is sold."
"It's good to be in the capital, you can eat whatever you want, you don't want to be in the village or town, there is nothing."
"What you see is just the surface."
"Oh? Really?"
"Well, people in the palace generally don't eat outside, especially the royal relatives. They only eat the food of the Imperial Canteen, first, for safety; The second is that it is nutritious."
"You people are hypocritical, you have to eat and drink well to live, and you have to pay attention to any nutrition, it's really boring!"
Hearing Zhang Zezhen's complaints, Lu Gaozhi nodded and said, "You're right, so I often change my identity to find some interesting things among the people, including food!"
"Teacher, it's better for you to be wise." Zhang Zezhen suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "I don't want some people! Day by day, I don't eat the fireworks of the world, and I say crazy things, I really think I am a green onion!"
Xiao Tian turned his head to look at her and asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about me?"
"I didn't say it, you have to claim it yourself, I can't help it."
"Look at her, sir! You don't care about this apprentice?"
"Oh, Xiao Tian, what did I just say? Let the girls! Where is your demeanor? In this way, how will you marry a wife and have children in the future?"
"That's it, the teacher really declares righteousness!"
Xiao Tian's teeth are itching, if Zhang Zezhen is not a woman, it is estimated that he will have to do it!
The three of them walked to the foot of the palace and stopped, "Zhenzhen, we have arrived, the good days are over, and what you will face next is much greater than the difficulties you faced in the town, have you thought about it?"
Zhang Zezhen swallowed, nodded and said, "Ready, teacher."
