Chapter 12: Troubled Times Are Coming
Jiu Ge and Zhang Menggui don't look very similar, the only thing that is similar is the eye shape, both are peach blossom eyes, and there is nothing else. Jiu Ge was still worried about this, but when he tried to pick up the grandmothers, he realized that this worry was superfluous.
Zhang Menggui left Beijing at the age of one, and at that time Zhang Youcheng had risen step by step among civil officials, but he had not yet reached the prime minister's position. The newborn child was sent to Qiyun Mountain on the pretext of recuperation, and after the age of three, the grandmothers and maids who were sent to take care of them were sent back to the Zhang family. Miss Xiao Er has lived a life of self-reliance since then, and has never seen anyone in the Zhang family again.
While resting at the post station, Jiu Ge took off his veil in front of Mama. Mrs. Zhang's marriage companion, and also Zhang Menggui's midwife Meng Mother back then, only said: "It's really a female college eighteen changes, the white and chubby female doll back then is now a slim girl." "I can't stop wiping my tears, I guess it hurts this second lady very much.
"Yes, only this eye is the most similar to Madame, and there is no third eye such a beautiful one in the whole capital. "Mother Lin, who spoke, was Zhang Menggui's wet nurse when she was a child, and she was the closest person to Zhang Menggui.
"Mother, how is she?" Jiu Ge felt guilty in his heart, the dream of their love was now buried as Miss Wen Jiayan, and the person in front of him was half a murderer.
"Madame is very good, she often thinks about the second miss, and now that the second miss can go back, Madame must be happy. Mother Meng was full of relief, hoping that the past fifteen years would not affect the relationship between Mrs. and Second Miss.
"It's a bad dream, and you can't fulfill your filial piety. "The life of a wealthy family has always been dangerous, pretending to be a white lotus at the moment, and it will be easier to walk in the future.
"Good boy, don't talk about this, rest early, and hurry tomorrow. The road is far away, and Mother Lin is already tired, which shows the hardships of this back and forth.
The two mothers also rested early. Jiu Ge sent the two out of the door, and couldn't help but sigh, Rao is a human being in his own life, and he still can't deal with people, which is very bad, and he must pay more attention in the future.
Closing the door, Jiu Ge took out the Moon Shadow Sword Spectrum and two sets of exercise cheats in the Jade Luan. The power of the Moon Shadow Sword, Jiu Ge has already seen it, since the road, Jiu Ge has been resting in the carriage during the day, and practicing the sword on the roof of the post station at night by moonlight, yesterday on the fifteenth, the Moon Shadow Sword Technique has been successfully broken through to the fifth layer, at this speed, before arriving in the capital, it should not be difficult to break through to the sixth layer.
The other two volumes of exercises, one volume called "July Flowing Fire", are fire control techniques from low to high level, of course, like the Moon Shadow Sword Technique, the cultivation effect depends on personal comprehension and understanding. Fortunately, on the way to Qingyang, Jiu Ge had already translated this exercise and packed it for Xiao Jin'er, hoping that this could give the poor doll a little help.
Another volume is called "Pear Blossom Speech", which is a full set of exercises for the charm technique, and the charm is low-level in the Qinglou of Xiliang Kingdom, but because there are only fragments, no one has made a breakthrough. The charming intermediate readable mind, the advanced can create illusions, and there are hidden function puppetry, but you have to have a certain amount of comprehension.
The immortal sects and families also have swordsmanship, and the swordsmanship is different, but the fire control technique is the only inheritance of the Helan family where the queen is now, and the Helan family also relies on this secret book to move the world and become a family. This volume of the Nine Singers is the same as that of the Helan family, and with the addition of the other two volumes, it will be much faster to improve his strength.
Jiu Ge's internal strength has also been improved to the forty-second level, such strength is in Xiliang Kingdom, and it is more than wrong to deal with ordinary opponents, but in the face of opponents like ghosts, Jiu Ge's strength is still too weak now, before saving Xiao Jin'er, Jiu Ge must have enough certainty, so practice diligently and dare not relax.
When Jiu Ge was bored in the car, he recalled all the records and current affairs of the Zhang family that he had memorized when he was in the mirage.
It was not until the afternoon of the 25th that he arrived in the capital.
At the gate of the city, people from the Zhang family had already come to answer, and the two grandmothers of the Zhang family also got out of the car and waited around the Jiuge carriage.
A team of people went around the bend, turned a few streets, and passed a few houses, and when they arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion, it was already dusk.
There were also some grandmothers waiting at the door carrying a sedan chair, and when they saw the carriage coming, they led Jiu Ge off the carriage, got into the sedan chair again, and carried it in through the side door.
The big and small people of the Zhang family are already waiting in Sanqiu Hall at the moment, and even the aunt who has fallen out of favor for too long and has never gone out has arrived, waiting for the second lady who has not returned for fifteen years.
Jiu Ge entered the door, kowtowed to the "father and mother" in the upper seat, and was led to Shuyue Pavilion to wash and change clothes, and only when he came back did he greet his brothers and sisters.
Washing away the dust, Jiu Ge felt that the depression along the way was a lot easier, and now he was in danger, he should be careful every step of the way, but he couldn't tense his nerves, and he could do things well with ease of body and mind.
After adjusting his mentality, Jiu Ge began to look for clothes to dress up, Zhang Meng returned to Xisu, and most of the clothes were plain. Jiu Ge is not picky, he took a moon-white wide-sleeved collared dress and put it on, and the brocade was embroidered with light-colored begonias.
There is a pale blue waist gentry around the waist, which looks thin and thin, and the figure is more slender and jade. The long hair was combed into a drooping hair by the little girl, with an angular face shape, bright eyebrows and bright teeth, and it was already a heavenly posture without powder.
Half an hour later, Mother Meng came and led Jiu Ge to Sanqiu Hall again.
Everyone hadn't dispersed yet, and when they saw Jiu Ge coming in, they were all amazed and had their own thoughts.
"When the daughter returned, she bowed to her father and mother. Jiu Ge knelt down again and bowed.
The Zhang family has no ancestors, and the second uncle Zhang Jingze went to the old mountain of Xianmen again, and Zhang Jingzhi and his wives and concubines and children were left in the house.
Meng got up and helped Jiu Ge up, his eyes were already full of feelings, and now that his daughter was away, his children gathered under his knees, and his life's grievances and grievances were not enough. Mixed joys and sorrows, I want to say something, but I don't know where to start.
Zhang Mengke, who was on the side, saw his mother like this, walked over and held the hands of the two, and said softly: "It's good that my sister is back, my mother misses you every day, but now that we meet, I don't speak." ”
Meng Shi turned around to wipe away his tears, turned around and pulled Jiu Ge to sit down, and asked, "Can the road be safe? Shuyue Pavilion still likes it?" If there is anything missing, I must tell my mother. ”
"Isn't my daughter safe in front of her mother, Shuyue Pavilion is also very good, and she will tell her mother if she lacks anything. Jiu Ge felt a warm feeling in his heart, and then blamed himself for being sad, if it weren't for himself, Zhang Menggui would not have died in Qingyang, and now this warmth should also be hers.
"You handled the affairs of the Wen family very well. Zhang Jingzhi on the side said in a deep voice, looking at the beautiful and intelligent daughter in front of him, Qiyun Mountain has cultivated her very well, and the Zhang family needs such a daughter.
"It was my daughter's incompetence that failed to save the family. ”
"We can't save it, the troubled times are coming..."Zhang Jingzhi shook his head, didn't say any more, what is the use of telling his wife about this, it only adds to the panic.
