Chapter 357
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..."
Seeing that Gu Jinzhi's face was slightly calm, Ou did not dare to say more.
She stood up and took Gu Jinzhi to the yard of Mr. Zhen.
Old Master Zhen lives in a small courtyard west of the outer courtyard. The independent door is connected to the large mansion and leads to the farmland behind.
The old man planted two jujube trees in his small yard and there was a chicken coop in the corner of the wall.
The hen had just laid the egg and clamored. The little maid wearing coarse cloth clothes touched the egg. When she got up, she saw Grandma Zhen bringing people in and hurriedly saluting Grandma Zhen.
This is a very ordinary farmyard, completely different from the Zhen family mansion.
"Where is the old man?" Ou asked the little girl.
"Stay in the room." said the little girl.
"Look at whether the old man has woken up. If he wakes up, he will say that a distinguished guest has arrived." Ou said.
The little girl said yes.
Ou himself led Gu Jinzhi to the main hall of the courtyard.
After a cup of tea, a long but smiling voice came from outside the door: "Which distinguished guest is here?"
He just thought it was his family.
Then, Gu Jinzhi saw an old man wearing green cloth walking in.
The Zhen family is very rich now, but Old Master Zhen’s clothes are just neat and clean. Gebu’s clothes are very clean and well-smoothed, and the servants at home dress better than him.
Gu Jinzhi was a little surprised.
She stood up.
When the old man saw her, his face changed drastically. He was so scared that he was stunned at the door. He didn't know how to move his feet for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on her...
As I looked, my eyes became wet.

Zhen Mo didn't have to be on duty today, and Tan You was fine, so he returned to his residence early.
He had a house in the city, a yard with two entrances, a few servants and maids, and was not accompanied by a concubine, so it was very spacious.
His wives, concubines, and children were all staying in the countryside to take care of his old father.
When you have time on weekdays, Zhen Mo practices riding and shooting and passes the time.
The servants put on targets in the yard, and Zhen Mo also changed into convenient clothes and prepared to practice archery, but someone hurried in.
"Master, I'm from the countryside." The servant said hurriedly.
Zhen Mo's bow was full of pulling. When he heard this, his heart tightened. He couldn't help but guess if something happened to his father. The force in his hand relaxed, and the arrow shot out skewedly.
"Come in quickly." Zhen Mo said.
The servant from the countryside followed in.
He knelt down and kowtowed to Zhen Mo, and then said, "Grandma said, if the master is fine, hurry up and go back. A distinguished guest came to his house. Grandma was afraid that the hospitality would be inadequate, so she asked the master to go back and accompany him."
Zhen Mo was surprised and asked, "What distinguished guest?"
He doesn't interact with others on weekdays, and Zhen Mo doesn't recognize anything except Tan You.
Everyone knows that Zhen Mo dislikes people the most to disturb the purity of his family.
"Grandma said, the master will understand when he goes back. It's a female guest. She wants to pay tribute to the old man." The servant said.
Zhen Mo inexplicably thought of Gu Jinzhi.
He was shocked.
"Let's go." Zhen Mo didn't change his clothes, turned around and quickly walked to the horse shed, took off his horse and ran away.
No one who follows him can catch up.
After half an hour, Zhen Mo arrived home in a quarter of an hour.
He reached his father's yard in diameter.
My father and Gu Jinzhi sat together, tears streaming down.
"Dad." Zhen Mo was sweating all over his forehead and hurriedly knelt down to salute his father.
Old Master Zhen wiped the wetness of the corners of his eyes and said, "Are you back? Hurry up, see who this is?"
He pointed at Gu Jinzhi.
Zhen Mo saluted Gu Jinzhi again: "Princess!"
"Get up." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile.
Zhen Mo stood up suspiciously.
Old Master Zhen asked Zhen Mo to sit down and asked him: "Look, do you look like your sister? There are people in this world who are so similar. When the girl comes, I was startled. You have saved her.
Why didn’t you tell me your life?”
Zhen Mo was anxious.
He didn't know what Gu Jinzhi said to his father.
He had to force a little smile and said, "Dad, the old thing is. Do you think it's like? I don't think it's the same..."
"What's different, it's exactly the same." Old Master Zhen said. Then, when he thought of Zhen Zhen's death, his heart felt sore and his eyes were wet again.
Zhen Mo hurriedly said, "Dad, you have a rest. It's getting late. I should send the princess back to the city, otherwise we can't afford the curfew in the city."
Old Master Zhen had a deep reluctance in his eyes and said, "Oh, the girl is really a princess? I thought you were fooling the old man..."
"How can I fool you?" Gu Jinzhi smiled, "It's really fate. If you think I am like your daughter, you will treat me as a daughter in the future."
Old Master Zhen couldn't ask for it and hurriedly said, "How dare you? You can't afford it, you can't afford it."
But there is a desire in my eyes.
He was not confused at all, knowing that his daughter had passed away, and the people in front of him were just similar, not real.
"You can afford it." Gu Jinzhi said, "I will be free one another day, and I will come to see you again."
Old Master Zhen quickly said yes.
He sent Gu Jinzhi to the gate of the yard and repeatedly reminded her: "Come again next day."
He had never seen many noble people in his life. Even when his daughter was in power, he was just a blacksmith, so he had no awe of the princess and just thought Gu Jinzhi was a kind girl.
