Among the many versions of Zeng Cheng's imagination, Liu Ziguang, riding a giant dragon and stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, descended from the sky to pick her up. This was the most romantic and majestic version, but also the most unrealistic one, so she was in a trance.
I felt like I was in a dream.
Zeng Cheng was unconscious, but the county magistrate's wife and mothers-in-law were very conscious. Moreover, these shrews were the kind of evil people who did not respect ghosts and gods. The first reaction of evil people to things they were unfamiliar with was to attack.
"Who is pretending to be a ghost? Breaking into the county government office without permission?" The county magistrate's wife picked up the sharp scissors in her hand and pointed at Liu Ziguang who fell from the sky and yelled.
This lady's name is Xia Jinfeng, who was born into a family of water bandits in Hongze Lake. Her father is Xia Hailong, the famous water bandit leader on the lake. After his father was recruited by the court ten years ago, he suddenly became a general of the Hongze Lake water army. His brother Xia Jinbiao also became a water transport yamen.
The county magistrate's position was bought with the help of my mother's brother's brother. The real shortage of the Suzhou magistrate was because my mother's family tried every means to entrust an acquaintance in the official department, and spent a huge amount of silver to get a little bit of knowledge. Therefore, Su Zhixian was very afraid of this lady, and she usually fought with her.
He doesn't fight back, he doesn't retaliate when he is scolded, and he doesn't dare to marry a second wife. He even doesn't have the guts to tease a maid.
The strong influence of her natal family and the cowardly husband made Xia Jinfeng even more domineering. She simply walked sideways in Hongze County. What she hated most in her life was women who were prettier than her and men who were prettier than her husband. Therefore, there were basically no good-looking people in her family.
maid servant.
Su Zhixian had no interest at all in facing the lady who looked like a black iron tower. Even though she had eaten countless deer and tiger whips, she still couldn't get up. The dissatisfied Sister Xia became even more grumpy. Today she just went out to visit her parents' house.
The housekeeper rushed out to report that the master was going to attack the new beautiful girl, so she quickly returned home with her men and eavesdropped on the conversation between Su Zhixian and Zeng Cheng outside the study.
Furious, he broke into the door, and the previous scene happened. After all, his husband was his husband, and he couldn't do anything. But this little girl was different. She was just a country pariah who used her pretty face to seduce men. She didn't want to do anything.
Play with it as you please, Mrs. Su's plan is to scratch her face, put it in a bamboo basket and throw it into the lake, and then it will be done, which will not only vent her anger but also shock her troubled husband.
But this mysterious man who jumped down from the sky disrupted Xia Jinfeng's plan. With the keen sixth sense of the descendants of water bandits, Xia Jinfeng determined that this man's target was the vixen who seduced her husband. Following the question, Xia Jinfeng's scissors
He also took action and stabbed Liu Ziguang hard in the face.
Although Liu Ziguang didn't know what was going on, the scene in front of him made it clear that these vicious women were going to kill Zeng Cheng! He didn't waste any time talking nonsense, just flew away the scissors, kicked out, and killed Zeng Cheng.
Xia Jinfeng's iron tower-like body was kicked and flew out. Seeing this, several other strong women also rushed over, trying to dig at their Liu Liu with their nails.
Ziguang's eyes were punched a few more times. The strong women were beaten until stars appeared in their eyes and suffered severe concussions. They fell to the ground unconscious one by one. Xia Jinfeng's body was stronger. After screaming twice like a slaughtered pig,
She actually got up and ran away. Liu Ziguang ignored her and hurriedly rushed up to untie Zeng Cheng's body and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Tears burst out of Zeng Cheng's eyes. The person she had been waiting for for so long finally appeared, and appeared in such a unique and heroic manner. After so many longings and grievances, she finally found the release gate, and she rushed straight into Liu Ziguang.
He was sobbing loudly in his arms and couldn't even think of talking.
Zeng Cheng cried like a three-year-old child. In the broad mind of Liu Ziguang, no matter it was the fierce lady, the lustful master, the cold neighbor, or the shameless naughty man, they were no longer objects of worry. Now she wanted to do it
The only thing I can do is cry as much as I can and vent all my thoughts and sufferings through tears.
Liu Ziguang's clothes on his chest were already soaked, and the girl's howling made him feel sour. While gently patting Zeng Cheng's back to prevent her from crying, he stroked the girl's hair and spoke softly.
Comforting: "It's okay, I'm here, I'm here to pick you up."
The airship lost its power and could not fly. The pilot Masaiyo first lowered Mrs. Yang down with a sling, and then got down with the radio on his back. It was the safest way for the airship to stay in the air to avoid being damaged by curious people.
In order to reduce the load, there were only these three people on the airship. After Mrs. Yang and Ma Saiyu landed, Zeng Cheng had not finished crying. Liu Ziguang was worried that something happened to Concubine Nan, so he said to Zeng Cheng: "Go home, don't let your mother
Worry."
Zeng Cheng cried for a while before he stopped crying. He nodded to Liu Ziguang and led the three of them outside the county government office. He held Liu Ziguang's hand tightly and didn't let go all the way, for fear that he would let go.
It will seem like it will fly away.
Liu Ziguang secretly exchanged glances with Mrs. Yang. The latter shook her head helplessly and said that she could not confirm. It is indeed difficult for a five or six-year-old girl to find the shadow of her childhood when she grows up to seventeen or eighteen years old. This has been expected by Liu Ziguang.
Among them, the key is to see whether the wife of the Zeng family is the former Nanfei.
When the people of Hongze County saw the dragon hovering above the county government office, they rushed from all directions to watch. Fortunately, Zeng Cheng led them through the side door where servants came in and out, so they were not blocked by the people. As for the people in the backyard of the county government office
None of the servants or servants dared to stop the people who were getting up and down from the dragon, and they all hid far away.
After exiting the side door, the four of them walked straight to the Zeng family's courtyard. When they arrived at the door of the house, Zeng Cheng called out "Mother" and pushed open the firewood door and ran in. The Zeng family's wife was cooking when she heard her daughter calling, holding a poker.
When they came out, Mrs. Yang looked up and saw that the man in front of her was wearing coarse clothes and had a wooden hairpin in her hair. There were already a lot of silver strands on her temples, which had been worn away by the vicissitudes of time and the hardships of life.
Most of her former noble and elegant temperament can still be seen in the way she moved and moved, the shadow of the former Nan Fei.
"Your Majesty..." Mrs. Yang took two steps forward and prostrated herself, her voice choked with sobs, "My Majesty, you have suffered."
Madam Zeng looked at the three people her daughter had brought with her in surprise. She was speechless for a moment. Mrs. Yang continued to cry: "Madam, I am Suzhen, Han Suzhen from the West Palace."
"Suzhen..." Madam Zeng held her daughter and looked carefully at Mrs. Yang, who was Han Suzhen, the female official of the West Palace ten years ago, "Suzhen, it's really you, you haven't changed at all.
"
"Empress, you are old, how have you survived these years?" Han Suzhen burst into tears looking at the wrinkles on Concubine Nan's face and the calluses on her hands.
That's right! It was indeed the Emperor's biological mother, Concubine Nan. Liu Ziguang suppressed the excitement in his heart, lifted his robe, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am the Admiral of the Nanji Office and the Minister of the Imperial Bodyguard of the Imperial Forbidden City, Liu Ziguang, Uncle of Zhenwu.
, according to the imperial edict of our emperor, we welcome the Queen Mother Nan to celebrate her thousandth birthday, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess returns to the palace!"
Concubine Nan was obviously very unfamiliar with the title Chitose, and she stared at Liu Ziguang speechless. After a long while, she hesitated and asked: "Did the school send you here?"
"Please take a look at the thousand-year-old empress." Liu Ziguang took out the doll Zhu Youxiao gave her from his arms and handed it to Concubine Nan. Concubine Nan took the doll with trembling hands, held it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, touching every piece on it carefully.
Pin Pin, sniffing the scent on it, cried with tears in his eyes, "It's the principal, it's really the principal, Cheng'er, your brother has sent someone to pick us up..."
Zeng Cheng was stunned by a series of things. Why did "he" kneel down to his mother when they met? And why did this woman call her mother the "Nanfei Empress" like he did? However, the puppet Liu Ziguang took out
Zeng Cheng was still very familiar with it, because she also had the same one. When she saw her mother holding a puppet and crying, she took out her own puppet and put it together with Zhu Youxiao's puppet: "It's the same!
How can they have a puppet like me?"
Zeng Cheng was only six years old when she fled the palace. She later suffered from a high fever, so her memories of the past were very weak. There was neither the impression of her father nor the shadow of her younger brother in her mind. The earliest part in her memory was the shore of Hongze Lake.
Thatched huts, fishermen’s boats and a poor life.
"I came here at starry night after receiving the news, so the empress's guard of honor, Luan Jia, did not come with me. I would like to ask the empress to stay for a while." Liu Ziguang respectfully explained to Concubine Nan why only three people came.
"Mom, they inherited that dragon." Zeng Cheng pointed at the airship in the sky and said.
Concubine Nan looked at the airship and then at Liu Ziguang. Liu Ziguang came in a hurry. He was still wearing the python robe when he entered the palace. The python robe and jade belt court boots, plus the cloth made by Han Suzhen and Concubine Nan personally made for Zhu Youxiao.
Oops, all this can show Liu Ziguang's identity as an imperial envoy.
It was a huge surprise. Even a strong-willed person like Nan Fei could not control her emotions. She held the doll and returned to the house. Zeng Cheng followed closely. Then there was a sound in the room that Nan Fei was suppressing.
Zeng Cheng also cried, and the crying became louder and louder. Han Suzhen glanced at Liu Ziguang with an inquiring look, meaning that she wanted to go in to persuade him. Liu Ziguang nodded and let him in. Unexpectedly, Han Suzhen also cried after entering the room.
stand up.
After suffering so much, is it justifiable to cry? Someone in the neighbor's house heard the cry and pushed the door open to look around. Liu Ziguang and Ma Saiyou glared back hard.
There was something burning on the stove in the yard. The pot was already boiling. Liu Ziguang opened the lid and took a look. It was a pot of porridge. He stirred it with a spoon. There were only a few grains of rice. Could it be that the Crown Princess
Do you and the eldest princess usually eat this?
"Xiao Ma, go to the hotel in the city and prepare a table of good dishes." Liu Ziguang ordered Ma Saiyu, who had already sent a telegram.
