Chapter 138

Shangqing temple is a Taoist temple, in which there are Taoist Scriptures.

Daocanglou was originally used for collecting books.

But it has been abandoned for a long time, and it has been occupied by Tianjiao for a long time. No one goes to see the dilapidated Taoist Scriptures. Most of them are robbed and burned in the stove. Now it's time to create a big meal for Jiang Xuening.

A small building, two floors up and down.

It's even a bit dilapidated up there.

The mat was placed downstairs.

A fire had already been made in the room, a pot of flower carvings had been simmered, and a good hot dish had been put on a round table in the center. Now that there are more Xiao Dingfei to stir up the trouble, this meal will become a real new year's Eve meal. Jiang Xuening simply tells Xiaobao not to leave and to stay for dinner.

Xiaobao looked at her in surprise, but she didn't refuse.

Xiao Dingfei had met Xiaobao in Tianjiao. Now he grunted a few words from his nose.

Jiang Xuening didn't hear clearly: "what did you say?"

She was removing the crane's cloak from the outside and putting it on a chair to one side, while Zhang Zhe was collecting her umbrella outside.

Xiao Dingfei leaned towards her, her voice as thin as a gnat: "you have to thank me."

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Xiao Dingfei only needs to smile or not to cast his eyes at Zhang Zha, who is just about to turn around and walk in. The meaning is very clear.

Jiang Xuening subconsciously also looked at Zhang Zha.

Just on the road, Xiao Dingfei, who didn't fight back to her, threw snow at her in front of the gate. She can't see it, but Zhang Zhe can.

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she understood.

What Xiao Dingfei means is that he did it on purpose just now.

Xiao Dingfei had already found out that the girl was a little smarter. He raised his eyebrow and laughed with pride: "how about it?"

Jiang Xuening turned around and said with a smile, "I'll cover you in the capital."

This is what Xiao Ding wants, At that time, Zhang Zha was very happy and didn't say much. When Zhang Zha entered the door, he stepped back and stretched out. He collapsed on the chair beside the round table as if he had no bones. He picked up his chopsticks and ate: "in order to eat this meal, I didn't eat on purpose at noon and emptied my stomach. Let me taste how the cook is doing first."

At first glance, this posture is not well-educated. It's used to being arrogant outside, and there are no rules or taboos.

Xiaobao suddenly showed an expression that was beyond words.

Jiang Xuening thinks it's true that what she likes most in her last life is to sit with Xiao Dingfei and have a good time. It's bullshit that she doesn't say anything about food or sleep.

I didn't expect that I could touch you in this life.

She really did not have too much disgust, just said: "let's be more casual."

Originally, they were in Tongzhou. A few people with deep or shallow friendship and different identities sat together to have a new year's Eve dinner. They were not the aristocratic families in the capital, nor the palace with strict rules. There was no need to be poor and fastidious.

Jiang Xuening sits next to Zhang Zha.

The pot of flower carving had been simmering for a long time. Xiaobao picked it up and took it over. She filled it with one for all four of them, raised her glass and said, "we are all in trouble in Tongzhou. We are besieged by wind and snow. Even if we meet by chance, we are destined to be friends. I'd like to propose a toast to you first

Xiao Dingfei especially supported: "well said!"

Xiao Bao gave him a white eye in silence.

Zhang Zha raised his eyes, just to Jiang Xuening's bright eyes in the dim yellow light. He took up the little wine in front of him and touched her gently. Then he saw that all her faces were smiling and drank with everyone.

Huadiao is just hot to drink. The wine is full-bodied, just like a mellow warm current in the throat, moistening to the heart. It makes people feel that the whole body is warming up slowly, but it reduces the chill just outside.

Zhang Zha was used to speaking little, so he didn't speak much.

Xiao Dingfei is a familiar person, because he knows that he will go to the capital soon. If there is no accident, he is afraid that he will become the son of Duke Ding. His attitude towards the public is better than ever. He has to ask about the pattern of those aristocratic families in the capital, and it seems that he is already preparing to enter the capital.

Jiang Xuening knows that such a bad embryo must be the nemesis of the Xiao family. She wants to see how Xiao's group looks when they see Xiao Dingfei. Of course, they know everything they can say and give Xiao Dingfei a thorough knowledge of all the members of the aristocratic family in the capital.

Who called her queen in her last life?

Sitting high, you can see a lot of things. Although you don't need them now, you can give them to others.

Xiao Dingfei nodded after hearing this, looking like he had taken Jiang Xuening as a brother.

With him, the meal was neither cold nor awkward.

Even when Xiao Bao heard too much of his flattery, he couldn't help cutting in and stabbing him.

Xiao Ding didn't mind.Who told him that Xiaobao was Xie Wei's man? And other people stabbed him a lot of pieces of meat, the right to turn a deaf ear, blowing on the past.

Zhang Zha's drinking capacity is not good, and he doesn't drink much in ordinary days.

During the siege of Tianjiao that day, he was forced to drink three bowls because of the situation, and he was dizzy inside, but no one could see it. Later, he was stabbed on his shoulder, and the pain came up. No matter how drunk he was, he woke up.

Now, I've been drinking several with you.

He is easy to face when he drinks.

There was a little red on the cold face, but it was hard to reduce the usual stereotype. The wine was drunk and cold. Under the light, the facial features were upright and the face was like jade.

Jiang Xuening did not want to catch a glance when he was eating vegetables, but he was frightened, but some of them did not dare to see it again, so he even forgot what he wanted to talk with him.

She took a glass of wine, stood up and said, "I'd like to make a toast to Mr. Zhang."

There was a moment of silence on the table.

Zhang Zang and Xiao Ding are not exactly the same. They are self-restraint and ceremony abiding people. Now they also hold the wine cup and stand up.

In this small room, two people stand opposite each other.

Xiao Dingfei had a strange smile on his face.

Jiang Xuening did not look at others, but looked at Zhang Zha and said seriously: "I've come to TongZhou this time. Thanks for your help all the way. There's only one thin wine in the seat today. Thank you. I hope you don't mind."

Zhang Zha said: "it's also Zhang's duty to thank the second girl."

Although he is protecting Jiang Xuening in the front, in the chaos behind, if Jiang Xuening didn't bring the soldiers of the government, he would be buried in the sword.

But it can't be said clearly.

After all, the middle also involves that also does not know is unintentional or intentional Xie Shaoshi.

Jiang Xuening that day brought people to save, but he was harshly questioned why back, the heart can not help but have some grievances. At present, I never thought Zhang Zhe would say such a word to her.

He knows, he remembers.

I don't know whether it was the hot flowers she had just drunk, or whether her moist eyes were hotter at the moment. She quickly raised her head to drink all the wine.

Zhang Zha looked at her silently and drank her up.

Xiao Dingfei joked: "Oh, look at the two of you saying that they are sincere. If you know that you are having new year's Eve dinner, if you don't know, you think you are in the hall!"

This man always speaks without a word in his mouth.

Jiang Xuening frowned and said, "if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

Xiao Dingfei said: "ha ha, sit down, sit down! Come on, I'll pour you wine. It's boring just to eat and drink like this. How about a drink order? "

In other words, he really poured wine for everyone.

After Zhang Zha sat down, he was in a trance.

The sound of setting off firecrackers came from afar in the quiet night.

He looked out of the window.

The daocang building is built in the mountains. Outside is the shadow of the mud path and the mountain. The ancient pines pile up snow. The floating snow is scattered from high places. It is especially a kind of profound solitude in the snow.

It's just

No matter how good the snow is, it will melt.

Xiao Dingfei has ignored Xiaobao's objection and ordered him to drink. After a turn, it's Zhang Zha's turn. But when he didn't want to look at Zhang Zha, he saw Zhang sitting at the table and looking out of the window.

He called, and Zhang chacai turned his eyes.

Xiao Dingfei was also very good at observing his words and looks. He said with a smile: "it's a rare Festival. You can see that Mr. Zhang is in a trance. It seems that he has something in mind?"

Jiang Xuening also looks at Zhang Zha.

Zhang Zha lowered his eyes and said slowly: "it's snowy and cold at night, so should it be in Beijing. My mother lives alone in the old courtyard, but now Zhang is trapped in Tongzhou, unable to return home to serve. I feel guilty and worried. "

Xiao Dingfei suddenly "ah", some did not expect.

Zhang Zhe's mother

Under the dim yellow light, Jiang Xuening's wine suddenly shakes in her cup, breaking a light and shadow. Her complexion seems to be a little white and a little less bloody.

The house was suddenly quiet.

After that, Xiao Dingfei laughed again, broke the dull atmosphere, said a few auspicious words to Zhang Zha, and raised a glass to wish Zhang's mother in the capital good health and everything went well.

Jiang Xuening became absent-minded.

Even after that, I forgot what I had said and what I had ordered. What I had in mind were scenes of past life.

At night in the palace, she pulls Zhang Zha's sleeve and asks him to help her. In Kunning palace, when he hears that things have failed, he is pinched and put into prison by Zhou Yinzhi and others. Then comes the bad news from Zhang Zha's family in the early snow season

Jiang Xuening has never seen that old woman.

It can be expected that the son brought up in a humble and embarrassing situation is so upright. He should be a kind mother as well as a strict mother, and a respectable good man.

She thought, when Zhang Zha heard the bad news in prison in his last life, when he recalled all the reasons, would he hate her?Those days, she spent in fear and guilt.

In the end, death is relief.

Now I heard him mention his mother from Zhang Zha's mouth. Jiang Xuening's regret almost immediately poured out like being punctured, making her feel despicable.

Good luck.

It's all over again.

She couldn't help but feel grateful for God's gift, but no matter how she tried to force a smile, the wine and the meal were a little tasteless.

When he was about to leave the banquet, Xiao Ding didn't know if he could see something. He looked at her for a moment and said in a low voice, "how could the second girl be in a trance?"

Jiang Xuening did not answer.

Xiao Dingfei felt that he knew all the new and old people a little affectedly. He snorted: "you are too lazy to say that I am too lazy to listen! I just want to tell you that people set off fireworks at midnight at TongZhou ferry. All the people in the city went out to see it. "

With a smile, he turned and walked out.

If they come together, they will come back together.

When I went back, I passed by Xie Wei's courtyard. I couldn't see the sword book. The house was still dark.

Xiao Dingfei pulls Xiaobao and says that he has something to ask him. He takes a fork in the road first.

Jiang Xuening knows that this person is creating opportunities for herself, and suggests that she invites Zhang Zhe to watch fireworks at the ferry. However, she was so worried that at this juncture, she had all kinds of hesitation and timidity.

It seems that the courage of that cavity has been watered out.

Until I said goodbye to Zhang Zhe, I couldn't say what I had prepared.

She went back to her house by herself.

The steps were covered with thick snow.

Jiang Xuening went up and raised her hand to push the door.

But the door frame had already been frozen cold. At the touch of it, it was so cold that her chaotic head suddenly came to her senses -

what was she doing?

What can be hesitant?

Is it not to make up for the unfinished regrets of the previous life and avoid those mistakes?

If you want to, go after it and ask for it. Is it her style to be coy!

The blessing bag and purse that had been prepared but not sent out was originally hidden in her sleeve. There were some gold and silver coins in the shape of melons and fruits with good intentions in it. Jiang Xuening took it out and could clearly feel the paper inside.

My heart is on the moon.

Her chest suddenly became hot. At this moment, she was determined not to push the door. She went straight back along the long road, stepping on the trail of Yong road which was not covered with snow, and went to Zhang Zhe's residence.

The cold wind makes my face ache.

She didn't feel it.

But in front of Dezhang's house, there was no light or sound inside.

Jiang Xuening was stunned.

It didn't take long to go back and forth. Has Zhang Zha fallen asleep?

After a moment's hesitation, she reached for her hand and knocked on the door. "Is Mr. Zhang asleep?"

There was no one inside.

The only response to her was the dark window lattice and the wind blowing through the cedar in the courtyard.

After a moment, Jiang Xuening once again gently knocked on the door: "is Mr. Zhang in?"

The door was still quiet.

She thought, Zhang Zha is injured and has a bad drink. Maybe he's sleeping? Or maybe he was not in the room, and was led by someone to reward the sergeant with the public.

But the heart suddenly empty.

Her eyebrows drooped down. She looked at the brocade bag in her palm and said that she was still hesitant before. Now she didn't even have a chance to show her heart face to face.

But I have made up my mind and I will not go back.

Jiang Xuening thought for a moment, and then tied the brocade bag with the word Fu to the small copper door ring on the left side, hoping that he would see it tomorrow morning. Then he laughed and forced him to look at the door for a while, then turned back.

Three lines of footprints extend from the snow in the courtyard.

The branches were thick with snow.

There was a sudden shriek in the dark blue night sky.

On the other side of the sky, the fireworks are shining, and on the other side, there is a beautiful explosion.

Zhang Zha sat on the cold ground with his back against the door leaf, listening to the sound of footsteps outside the door. Half open window, the light of fireworks came in, spread on his cold face, fell into his dark eyes, only reflected the ashes left after burning.
