Chapter 16 It is time to worship the new gods
Feng Lan was a little hopeful, but more of a heart was like ashes. She regretted it a little, she was really dizzy at the time, so she explained such an important matter as finding someone to the most unreliable second master Chai in Lin'an City. Until the cups and plates in the house were messy, the guests said goodbye to them in turn, and Feng Lan returned the salute quite woodenly.
When the people left the tea cool, Feng Lan sat on the threshold, and she sobbed and cried: "When the master comes back, I'm afraid I'm going to be mad......"
Although Chai Yanqing was unreliable, Feng Lan told him to go to Jiang Qinzhou, and he really worked hard to find it. But he was aching all over, and he limped down the street, but he didn't walk as fast as he held on to the wall.
In front of Feng Lan, Chai Yanqing mentioned that he was the only one who could find Jiang Qinzhou, which was not a lie. When Chai Yanqing was still under the car, the car turned sharply through an intersection, and after going out of that intersection, Chai Yanqing tilted his head and took a look, only to see a big horse in front of him running against their carriage.
Who was the person sitting on the horse, Chai Yanqing really didn't see it clearly. But the big horse's coat was pure black, but there was a white spot the size of a basin on the horse's rump. This horse Chai Yanqing recognized that it was a thousand-mile horse raised by the Jiang Mansion. At that time, Chai Yanqing only thought that the person riding the horse should be Jiang Qinzhou's subordinate, but now that he thought of Qin Zhonghui and others visiting Jiang's mansion at night, Feng Lan was in a hurry to let him go to find Jiang Qinzhou. He was sure in his heart that the person sitting right away was most likely Jiang Qinzhou.
Chai Yanqing slowly searched for it according to his memory, and on the way, the assault rifle that was bumped to the ground by the carriage was lost and recovered. Chai Yanqing's confidence was high, and his sore legs had a little more strength.
Let's say that at this time on the official road in the wilderness, Jiang Qinzhou was tirelessly chasing the carriage forward, but suddenly, he stopped. I saw Jiang Qinzhou's hand holding the reins stop in mid-air, his face turned red, and his eyes burst out. After a moment, he whimpered, "I was fooled!"
A smart person like Jiang Qinzhou would fall for this kind of worry. Only chased out nearly a hundred miles with his stuffy head, Jiang Qinzhou suddenly realized that after coming out of the alley, the carriage he encountered did not have hemp rope behind the carriage!
Thinking of this joint, Jiang Qinzhou held back his qi and blood, and hurriedly turned back to Lin'an. Now he only hopes that Duan Qingliu and Pu Wuwei can arrive at the reception banquet in time, so as not to lose the opportunity.
On the way back, Jiang Qinzhou still had hope in his heart. But when he entered the city gate, and met a man, he almost did not fall from his horse.
"Disgusted with Qing, what are you doing here?"
"Your wife asked me to come and look for you. Chai Yanqing said without being salty.
Jiang Qinzhou hurriedly said: "Something happened in the house?"
Chai Yanqing said lightly: "Qin Zhonghui and Wan Yiqi went to your house, and they said that they were looking for you, why in the end, you better go back and see by yourself." ”
Jiang Qinzhou said no more, he threw the reins and rode away.
Chai Yanqing looked at Jiang Qinzhou's figure in a hurry, couldn't help touching his chin, and muttered: "In the middle of the night, what is he riding a horse to swing about? Phew, this old guy is annoying, what do I care about him? Or go back to the house first and see if the sister-in-law has stopped." ”
After Chai Yanqing returned to the palace with a staggering pace, he saw that the lock he had put on before he went out was still tight, and his heart was stable. When he opened the lock wide and pushed the door into the house, he was startled by what he saw. He only saw a three-foot white silk hanging on the beams of the room, white and dangling, which was really dazzling. But through the white silk, I saw Jiang Ciyu sitting on the chair peacefully, with a ruddy face, not like a dead man.
Chai Yanqing cautiously said, "Sister-in-law?"
"Do what?"
Jiang Ci opened his mouth coldly, and Chai Yanqing was startled again.
"Eh, you're still alive, that's great!"
Jiang Ciyu said coldly: "I was going to die, but before entering the ghost gate, the ghost cha pushed me back, and the ghost cha said that there are fierce ghosts and evil ghosts in the underworld, happy ghosts, full ghosts and starving ghosts, but there are no angry ghosts." ”
Chai Yanqing bent his knees, knelt down, and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, I know that I am not angry, and I annoy you." But don't worry, from now on, I promise to give you a fight. But I only ask you to do one thing, and that is to stay in the palace and not leave. I would never have said this before. But now I can say it, because Chai Guanshan is back...... You've worked hard for so many years, so don't you fall short?"
Jiang Cishu's heart moved, and in an instant, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Your eldest brother, where is your eldest brother?"
Chai Yanqing smiled: "It's the clean skin I saw in Wan Yiqi's new house today." I went to him again, and I asked him if he was Chai Guanshan, and he didn't admit it at first. But he couldn't stand my grinding, and when it came, he still admitted it. ”
"Really!"
Seeing that Jiang Ciyu was no longer tense, he asked in surprise and joy. Chai Yanqing smiled, he said: "That's not it, I asked him why he didn't come back since he was alive, and he changed his face." He told me that in the Song-Liao War three years ago, although the Great Song Dynasty was defeated like a mountain, it could not stand his life and survived. But he felt that he had no face to return to Lin'an, so he found a master and gave him a makeover. Since then, he has lived in seclusion in the Biansai. ”
Jiang Ci's eyes were soft, watery, and crystalline, and she said softly: "Then why is he back now?"
Chai Yanqing said: "He said that he came back this time to have something important to do, so let's not worry about him." He also said that I saw my sister-in-law lose some weight today, so you don't forget to eat three meals. ”
Although Chai Yanqing was lying, seeing that Jiang Ciyu was happy, he continued to make it up.
Jiang Ciyu was immersed in the joy of being lost and regained, but she suddenly realized something, and hurriedly advised: "Your eldest brother must be hiding his identity when he comes back this time." Therefore, in order to protect him, you can know about this matter, and you must not go out and publicize it. ”
Chai Yanqing nodded and said, "I naturally know this, and I will never expose this news." ”
Jiang Cishu stared at her palms, and she saw in a trance that a pair of white and tender baby hands appeared in her palms, and the little hands gradually grew. Eventually, the baby's palm became a pair of large, ten-fingered hands. The big hand gripped her wrist, and the warmth swelled in the palm.
I don't know when, Jiang Cishu shed two more lines of tears.
Jiang Ci's eyes were confused, and his longing was mixed with sadness, and Chai Yanqing suddenly felt that his lie was a little too big. But he thought about it, it's okay to do this, although it's fake, but at least it can leave a thought for Jiang Cishu.
Chai Yanqing went out of the house, called a maid, and instructed him to get Jiang Ciyu some food, and then forced his tired body back to his bedroom.
Dong Ping, who was still shining with his eyes at the reception banquet, looked a little absent-minded when he walked on the secluded path of the mansion at this time.
Lin Sanchuan hadn't experienced such a dullness for a long time, and he felt extremely depressed. So, he suddenly smiled and said without words: "I didn't understand a word of what those kobold adults said today! Childe, I see that you are also laughing badly, tell me about it?"
After a while, Dong Ping spoke, but he didn't answer what he asked: "If two people get married, what is this called?"
Lin Sanchuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Naturally, they are husband and wife." ”
Dong Ping nodded and then asked: "If two people sleep in the same basket when they are swaddling, eat the same mother's milk, and then grow up together, and then get married." After 24 years and never separated, can this kind of husband and wife be simply described by the word husband and wife?"
Lin Sanchuan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know. ”
Dong Ping smiled: "I don't know, I just feel that my heart is beating again." ”
Lin Sanchuan was shocked when he heard this, he didn't think Dong Ping was a dead man, but Dong Ping's words were a bit unbelievable, who did he see, and his heart beat again?
Dong Ping said at this time: "Come on, go back to the room to rest." I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, and you'll walk around the streets of Lin'an and get acquainted with the situation in Lin'an. ”
The two dispersed, and each went back to his room.
Dong Ping entered the room, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he sat on the chair as if he had lost his strength. In the past three years, he thought his heart was as solid as a rock. But when he returned to Lin'an this time, his heart was in turmoil. And the one who messed with his heart was a woman.
In Yanlin, when Dong Ping learned that because of his childhood relationship, he fell in love with Shangguan Xi, who has been in love with him to this day, Dong Ping's heart was not disturbed. He just gave Shangguan Xi a paper cover that the south is not the south, the north is not the north, and the king asks for an unspecified return date.
And when she returned to the northern city, she knew that the quiet little nun who was as pure as soft white rice paper was taken away. Dong Ping's heart is not messy, he only says that he has no fate.
And Leng Piaopiao consumes his life, and uses unbounded magic to change his life against the sky. Dong Ping returned to the world from the ghost gate, and when he saw Leng Piao's gorgeous hair, his heart was not disturbed. He only said that for the rest of his life, he would treat her with his life.
And Ruan Li traveled thousands of mountains and rivers, tasting all kinds of tastes just to see him. Dong Ping's heart was not messy, he only said that this little girl was cute.
Dong Ping muttered: "How can a ruthless person like me provoke so many affectionate and righteous girls." But I knew the marrow, and when I caught it, I was reluctant to let go. After all, Sister Ci, you spoiled me. ”
Dong Ping closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, he laughed.
This is the truth in the world, some people laugh, some people cry.
As soon as Jiang Qinzhou returned home, after listening to Feng Lan tell Qin Zhonghui and his party about coming to the house, he fell into Feng Lan's arms. Seeing Jiang Qinzhou's dusty face and haggard face, Feng Lan couldn't help but feel distressed and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face and hands.
Jiang Qinzhou said weakly: "What did they talk about?"
Feng Lan said: "While they were talking, I came out, but let the two clever girls, purple and red, wait inside. They have a good memory, and they have memorized all the words that Qin Xiang and the others said. After that, Feng Lan called the purple girl and the red girl over. After the two of them finished what Qin Zhonghui and the others said word for word.
Jiang Qinzhou came back to his senses, "Qin Xiang gave me a dismissal this time! What is the reason for his proposal? Although the Huinan Embassy is jointly managed by the Zhongshu Sect and the Privy Council, the office of the Huinan Embassy is located in the Privy Council. Does Qin Xiang want to push this piece of fat to my mouth?"
Feng Lan shook her head and said helplessly: "You tell me this, how can I understand?" But judging from the actions of Qin Xiang and the others today, I think Qin Xiang wants to knock you on a hammer first, and then stuff a piece of white sugar into your mouth. I see, this is called drunkard, and it is not meant to be drunk. A fledgling horse master, even if the prince leaves him great power, how big waves can it make? Qin Xiang wants to use this matter to ask you to surrender, and if you have Jiang Shumi, the Great Song Kingdom, won't he let him be alone?"
When Jiang Qinzhou heard this, his heart fluttered. He didn't care that there were still subordinates, and kissed Feng Lan twice on the face very affectionately. Although the two are already old husbands and wives, Feng Lan is from a famous family after all, and in the face of Jiang Qinzhou's move, she only has slightly red cheeks and bows her head shyly.
Jiang Qinzhou smiled: "Madam, you still said that you don't understand, but you see it much more clearly than me." A word to wake up the dreamer. In the past many confrontations with Qin Xiang, I always lost slightly. I often wonder why I can't compare to Qin Xiang. Today, I was reminded by my wife, and I understood. Just like this time when the horse master entered Lin'an, I privately thought that there would be a bloody battle between me and Qin Xiang. But in reality, I'm the only one who is obsessed with this chess piece. And Qin Xiang has already overlooked the overall situation. is obsessed with the gains and losses of a son, and it is inevitable that he will fall into a phase and fall into a maze. ”
In the interval between Jiang Qinzhou's words, Feng Lan had already taken the two maids out of the house. She wrapped her arms around Jiang Qinzhou's neck, snuggled into Jiang Qinzhou's arms, and said, "Since you have understood Qin Xiang's intentions now, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said: "If you try your guts, you will be counted." Since Qin Xiang sent the horse master to the door, then I can't help but accept it. Let's see tomorrow if this horse master is a manufacturable material. By the way, what do you think of that pony?"
Feng Lan said: "In addition to having a good skin, in my opinion, his words and deeds are only general. ”
Jiang Qinzhou smiled with satisfaction when he heard this: "How can this person selected by Zhao Qingting be a general. Since he can pretend to be an ordinary person in front of Qin Xiang and a few others, then he will definitely not be an ordinary person. It seems that he should have his own ideas when he went to visit Qin Zhonghui first. After that, Jiang Qinzhou bent down to hold up Feng Lan's leg socket and hugged Feng Lan.
"Eh!"
Being hugged by Jiang Qinzhou suddenly, Feng Landang exclaimed. But as soon as Feng Lan felt that she was almost forty-five, she let out a shy cry like a girl, and couldn't help but blush.
Jiang Qinzhou called Feng Lan's name softly: "Bao, my husband is tired." ”
The two looked at each other, their hearts were stirring in the flow of waves, and they didn't say anything all night.
Wait until the end of the night.
A layer of mist hung over the majestic city, and the red sun had just begun to peek out from the east like a small head of a sugar cake. The dense white mist was coated with a layer of golden red divine brilliance, and the Ouchi Imperial Palace was also reflected even more unattainable.
The early riser carried the shelves along the street to sell fashionable gadgets and daily chores, and he walked past the steaming large cage drawer, smelling the fragrance in his nose. The merchant couldn't help it, so he took out two copper coins and bought a few big buns with white skin that looked like a young woman's skin. The lard is dyed yellow by the meat filling, and the soup that makes people swallow their fingers flow out of the folds at the top of the bun. In the eyes of the gourmets, the buns here are much more delicious than the two buns of the woman. The merchant had never tasted any other steamed buns, but he thought that as long as the steamed buns were half as delicious as the ones he had, he would be satisfied.
The merchant chewed heavily, even though he was occasionally burned with his mouth wide open, but he was still happy to do it, and he was unwilling to dry the buns. Along the way, the merchant drank another bowl of greasy tofu brain and ate two fried golden oil cakes. Before the street was finished, the scattered money he had was eaten. Acquaintances made fun of him: "Ah, no wonder you haven't married a daughter-in-law at this age when you're about to enter the earth." It turned out that he ate his daughter-in-law into his stomach, old merchant, when will you give birth to a doll?"
The diners laughed, and the merchants laughed too. At the end of the laugh, he also took a pancake by the way, only to hear him say, "I'm happy!"
With that, the merchant continued to carry the shelves forward. But when he reached the corner of the street, he stopped. Stopping at this street intersection for a while every day has become a daily routine for merchants. Because here, he can not only see the brilliant morning glow, but also the civil and military officials who went from the south to the north to the early dynasty. The names and origins of these officials, the size of their official positions, and the merchants are already very valuable. He worshipped devoutly, not daring to have the slightest blasphemy against these officials. Because he knows that it is not the old fairy who can save money to marry his daughter-in-law. Rather, these people whom he passed in front of him.
Suddenly, the merchant's eyes widened. He saw that in this group of living immortals in purple robes, red robes, and green robes, there was a young man in a clear blue robe, who did not look like an official, and actually stood in the ranks of purple-robed immortals with the most power.
The merchant was so nervous that he picked up the shelves and ran back. Seeing this, the others were curious and asked him what was wrong, but the merchant just said, "I want to worship the new god!"
Seeing that Dong Ping and Qin Zhonghui were chatting quite happily, people who didn't know Dong Ping's identity went up to ask for a hot heart. And when they knew that Dong Ping was about to crush Zhao Qingting in Lin'an with an iron horse, everyone dispersed in an uproar, and they couldn't avoid it if they encountered a flood and a beast.
Qin Zhonghui smiled and said: "Master Ma doesn't have to mind, they are in awe of the tigers who came down from Shuzhou!"
Dong Ping smiled: "Look, there are many former colleagues. But it looks like no one remembers me. ”
Zhang Jun stepped forward and said: "Back then, the master of the horse was a mere official, to be honest, it was not worth mentioning in Lin'an, and it was not surprising that they didn't remember you." But now you're a dignified pony master, and you can shock Lin'an with a fart. Wait a few days, and they'll be back to you. ”
Dong Ping said with a smile: "If I stomp down, I can stir up some dust, but I still borrow the weight of Qin Xiang and Master Zhang." Megatron, I didn't think about it, and I didn't dare to think about it. ”
