Chapter 357(1/2)
Si Jian drove the carriage and soon left the city.
Gu Jinzhi lifted up the curtains of the car and looked out. There were green mountains and decaying grass everywhere. In late autumn, the prosperity was gone, and the desolate and desolate look was everywhere.
Her hands loosened and the curtain fell, covering the sacred Qiu in her sight.
The carriage was fast and a little bumpy.
Gu Jinzhi felt very uncomfortable in his stomach.
Fortunately, it didn't take long and we arrived at our destination soon.
Liujiazhuang is a small village, living with ordinary people, hardworking, simple and kind people.
The gorgeous carriage entered the farm, attracting the attention of farmers, but no one thought much about it.
"Did you come to the Zhen family?" Someone murmured in a low voice and continued to work.
The fields in Liujiazhuang are not considered fertile land, and the harvest is not satisfactory.
If you encounter a famine, you will have no harvest and you will have to pay heavy land taxes.
The land tax was too heavy, even if it was exempted every few years, the people of Liujiazhuang could not afford it. They sold the land to a master named Zhen, and then rented the land from Mr. Zhen's house.
Mr. Zhen’s rent is lighter than the local tax.
No one knows what the origin of Mr. Zhen is, only knows that he is young, has a wife and three concubines, and a kind old father.
Mr. Zhen did not go to the village often, so his wives and concubines stayed to serve his father. The family was very kind and never bullied others by virtue.
Everyone in Liujiazhuang respects the Zhen family.
A few years ago, there was often a noble man in the city who came to visit Mr. Zhen’s house. In recent years, fewer people came, but during festivals, there were also people.
Therefore, when you see the gorgeous carriage, farmers know that they are going to the Zhen family.
The carriage indeed stopped at the entrance of the Zhen family compound.
The Zhen family courtyard is not so grand from the outside.
In an ordinary courtyard, a tall sycamore tree at the door, with golden leaves everywhere, and twisted branches bathed alone in the thin sunlight of late autumn. The grinding bricks on the opposite side of the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the grinding grinding the gr
The copper door cymbals are quietly upside down.
Si Jian stopped the carriage and jumped down and knocked on the door.
A servant came to open the door and asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
"Are your master here?" Si Jian said with a smile. "We come from the city to see your master specifically, and we will pay tribute to your grandma and the old man."
"The master has not come back." said the servant, "You come back another day."
Although his tone was polite, he had no doubt that he had to close the door again.
Si Jian hurriedly held the door and smiled.
Gu Jinzhi has already got off the carriage.
She stepped forward and said to the servants: "Go in and say something, let your grandma come out to see me."
Gu Jinzhi went to visit the eldest princess today, so she was gorgeous: brocade smoke and red jacquard robe, water shadow red dense woven gold thread long skirt, and a silver-red kesi cloak on the outside. Gorgeous and dazzling;
The high bun, two red gold ruby butterfly flower hairpins on the left and right. Facing the sunlight, the light is shining brightly.
She looked like this and was not an ordinary family member. She said she wanted her grandmother to come out to meet her. Her tone was so natural, and the servant guessed that she must be a noble person in the city.
In the past, there were often noble people coming to the city. This servant had never seen it, but had heard of it.
He hesitated, closed the door again, and turned around and went.
The "grandma" that the servants call is Zhen Mo's wife Ou.
The servant who was guarding the door told the little maid in the second door about a noble matter, and asked her to go in and report it.
When Ou heard the news, he couldn't help but wonder: Who is from the Tan family?
Since Zhen Zhen, the concubine of Zhen family, only the fourth grandmother of the Tan family took Sister Yu to the village to stay for half a day every year to visit the old man. The servant who was guarding the door has only been here for two years and has never seen Aunt Zhen, but he is also
I have met Sister Yu. If Sister Yu came, wouldn’t I come to ask for instructions?
Then who else?
The Zhen family has lived here for almost ten years.
In the early years, Zhen Zhen was favored by the Tan family, and someone from Tan You's wife's family came to provoke her.
Eu Crane can't help but be irritated. Are you here to find trouble again?
Although I don't like it, I dare not neglect it.
Ou stood up and took the maid and the old man to the gate.
When he saw the person at the gate, Ou's feet became weak and he almost fell.
Fortunately, it was blue sky and sunny, and in full view of everyone, if it were night, Ou would be scared to death: Why did the sister-in-law, who had been dead for several years, suddenly come back?
An old lady had also seen Zhen Zhen and exclaimed in surprise.
Ou himself also held his chest tightly.
Seeing this situation, everyone else was stunned, and the servant who was guarding the door also made way.
Gu Jinzhi walked in, smiled and gave a blessing to Ou, saying, "Grandma Zhen..."
Ou subconsciously took a step back.
Even under such a bright sun, Ou felt a chill on his back, and a biting chill poured in from the top of her head, and she shivered.
It feels so bad to hit a ghost in the daytime.
Euchs has always been timid.
Si Jian followed Gu Jinzhi, and the two guards stood around.
Seeing that Ou lost his composure, Gu Jinzhi stood still and did not move forward any further.
After a moment, Ou came back to his senses, his voice trembled a little: "...Who is it? I am so clumsy and I don't know the noble person."
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Speak inside."
Ou came back from shock and fear, and his mind became clearer, then he thought of something his husband mentioned in his usual words.
She trembled and invited Gu Jinzhi to the main courtyard.
When she arrived at her yard, her soul that was out of her body finally subdued her body and hurriedly gave Gu Jinzhi a greeting: "The princess has a blessing."
Ou Shi heard Zhen Mo say once or twice that Miss Gu’s seventh lady looks like Zhen Zhen, and the old man of the Tan family is very obsessed with her and is a little fascinated.
Not long ago, the wedding of Miss Gu's seventh lady and King Luyang was known throughout the capital, so Ou naturally heard about it.
Gu Jinzhi smiled and helped Ou.
Ou took advantage of the situation and stood up.
The maid served tea.
Ou sat down at Gu Jinzhi's lower head. She couldn't help but look at Gu Jinzhi's eyes, this time she was looking at the side face.
From the side, it doesn't look that much like it. Zhen Zhen's face is very soft and her side face is also very soft; while the side face of the Princess Luyang has deep lines and clear outlines.
This is not very similar.
While sitting with her, Ou secretly winked at an old man at the door.
The woman turned around and went out quietly.
"...The princess is in a cheap place today. What are the instructions?" Ou took a sip of tea, put a teacup and asked Gu Jinzhi.
"Mr. Zhen is not at home?" Gu Jinzhi asked back.
Ou smiled and said, "Wouldn't the princess call him a master? Who is he? He just follows Lord Tan and runs errands. He is just a kid at noon. Besides, he doesn't often stay at home, for two or three months.
Come back and stay for a day or two."
"Master Tan values him very much, and he relies on everything." Gu Jinzhi followed Ou's words. "Don't be humble for him, either."
Her tone was very familiar, as if Zhen Mo was her brother.
The more Ou listened, the more shocked he felt.
Her face, which had finally been relieved, was slightly purple again.
Seeing that she was too timid, Gu Jinzhi said directly: "I have something to discuss with Lord Zhen. Since he is not at home, I will invite the old man to have peace. It's time to say goodbye."
The old man didn't know that there was a woman like Zhen Zhen in the world.
If Gu Jinzhi suddenly went to pay homage to him, wouldn’t he be scared to death?
The old man is scared without any fear.
"How dare the princess go to pay his respects to him?" Ou smiled reluctantly, "You are so noble, my old man is just an old blacksmith. It is your grace to be so proud of you. I can't bear it."
"Mr. Zhen is kind to me." Gu Jin said, "He saved my life. Grandma refused to let me go like this. Is it because I came to visit abruptly? If so, I will be uneasy."
Ou said hurriedly: "The princess misunderstood, and I didn't stop her..."
