Chapter 38 I hope there is an afterlife, and I will meet you again
The nights in Bianliang make people intoxicated and easily arouse longing.
But when he heard the musical sounds coming from the restaurant outside the house, the teahouse artist pointed to the mouths of music, the orchestras of silk and bamboo, the sound of drinking with pain, and the laughter of the Spring Festival, Zhang's tormented heart gradually died in this noisy and riot.
She saw that she had tears in her eyes, took a basin in the yard, and then took a bucket of hot soup with difficulty, moved it to the house, asked her parents to sit in the high hall, and then put the two basins at her parents' feet. She took off her shoes and socks for her parents. Seeing this, the teacher sighed and said, "Son! Stop busy. I will stay here tonight on New Year's Eve!"
The father's cry made Zhang's tears slip silently from his eyes, dripping into the wooden basin, causing ripples.
When his mother, Li, saw her daughter's appearance, felt sad, and hurriedly reached out to pull Teacher Zhang, but heard Teacher Zhang sigh again, and silently looked at her filial daughter gradually became ecstatic.
After washing for a while, Zhang wiped his parents' feet with a towel, and silently poured the water back into the bucket, and asked to pour it. After packing up, he called Jin'er, a female envoy standing beside him, who was hiding tears, and the two entered the room together. Zhang gently locked the door. Jin'er looked at her wife's still like this, and just wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say. In fact, the words of persuasion have been used up in the past six months. Since Lin Chong, the official, was exiled, he has never seen his lady speak, and she feels like she has lost her voice.
At this time, Zhang took out a deed plus a hundred taels of silver from the wooden cabinet beside the bed, and handed it to Jin'er. The girl was shocked when she saw this and hurriedly refused to accept it. But Zhang just said nothing, looking straight at the maid with her numb eyes that could no longer see the joy and anger, and forced the thing to her hand. Jin'er had red eyes and had to put it away.
Seeing that she had taken it off, Zhang exhaled gently as if the big thing had happened, closed her eyes, and no longer moved. Seeing this, Jin'er stepped out, took the deed and the one hundred taels of silver in her hand, and hurried to look for Teacher Zhang. The wife's actions tonight were a bit abnormal, which made her secretly alert.
Hearing the sound of the maid closing the door, Zhang opened his eyes and locked the door of the boudoir. He sat in front of the dressing table and slowly combed his long hair. He saw the beauty pear blossoms reflected in the bronze mirror with rain, heartbroken. Looking at the divorce book on the front, Zhang said the first sentence of the couple's separation in the past six months, "I hope I will meet you again in the next life..."
After saying that, Zhang turned around and moved out a chair, stood up slowly, threw the white silk that had been prepared onto the beam of the room, tied a knot, and slowly put it on his neck.
At this moment, a slight sound came from the window. Zhang heard it, but if she hadn't heard it, she was already ashamed and said softly: "Official, I'll leave first..." After that, she kicked the stool under her feet hard, and instantly the weight of her whole body attacked her neck. However, Zhang just stubbornly said without saying a word, silently enduring the last pain before saying goodbye to this miserable world.
Just when he was in a hurry, a scholar in white was raising a window and flipping into the house. When he saw Zhang hanging the beam, he was shocked and ignored him. He quickly rolled onto the ground, pulled out the sword in his arms, and prayed in his heart: "Don't miss me the sword!" He then threw the sword towards Bai Ling according to his sword-controlling skills after following the old Taoist in western Hubei for more than ten years in his previous life.
Perhaps it was due to sincerity, but when the sword instantly cut a small mouth into the white silk, the small flaw expanded infinitely under the pressure, until it could not bear the heavy burden in the end. With a slight sound, the entire white silk with a knot turned into a straight line, and Zhang fell heavily to the ground, motionless.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a half-old soldier snatched in. When he saw his daughter's appearance, he screamed "My son!" and leaned over and reached out to investigate the daughter's carotid artery. He heard a sound of a cough from his daughter. The old army was relieved, and got up and shouted loudly, and was about to step forward to join the stranger who appeared in his daughter's boudoir.
"Teacher Zhang, wait, I have a letter from Teacher Lin!" Seeing this, Wang Lun hurriedly stopped.
The Zhang, who was lying on the ground dying, hurriedly struggled to get up and was about to come forward to get the letter. Seeing that Zhang was fine, Wang Lun felt relieved and hurriedly took out the letter from his arms. Suddenly, Teacher Zhang shouted, "My son should not be fooled, it must be these guys' trick!"
Seeing that this family was forced to Gao Yanei to be nervous, Wang Lun didn't even notice his behavior of saving people, so he treated himself as a person sent by the Palace Commander's Mansion. He didn't talk nonsense at the moment, but threw the letter and landed directly next to Zhang's feet.
Zhang quickly bent down and picked up the letter, opened it quickly, and saw the first line of words, tears fell down, and said to Teacher Zhang: "Dad, it's my husband's handwriting!"
Teacher Zhang stopped for a while, but he was still in a warning posture. Zhang hurriedly finished reading the letter and shouted: "Dad, he...he was sent by my husband to pick me up!"
Teacher Zhang looked at Wang Lun up and down, hugged Wang Lun, said "Please wait", and took the letter from his daughter's hand to see. At this time, Lin Chong's mother-in-law and female envoy Jin'er rushed in. Li stepped forward and hugged his daughter, and said in tears: "My miserable child..." The three women cried, but saw Zhang's eyes were lost and murmured: "He has not forgotten me... He has not forgotten me..."
Teacher Zhang finished reading the letter from beginning to end, and confirmed that it was the handwriting of his son-in-law. He inserted the spear deep into the ground. The technique was quite similar to Lin Chong, and then burned the letter on the candlelight. Then he apologized to Wang Lun: "I don't know that it is the leader of the king of Jeju. He was so rude that he had just been so rude, so please don't blame me!"
Seeing that he was skillful and so careful, Wang Lun bowed and said, "Those who don't know are innocent, coach Zhang is still stronger and more powerful, and his power is still the same as before!"
The coach Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a joke from the leader, but it's really a joke from Gao Qiu, the guy from his family!"
Wang Lun smiled and said, "What my brother said in the letter is, I wonder what Teacher Zhang is going to do?"
Before coach Zhang could answer, he heard Zhang's expression anxiously, "I'll go with you!"
When Wang Lun saw that he gave a bow to Zhang, he called his sister-in-law and looked at the head of the family, coach Zhang, waiting for him to express his opinion.
The teacher Zhang smiled bitterly, looked at his daughter with an anxious look, looked at the family that nodded repeatedly, and sighed, "I only have such a daughter. She is leaving. What's the point of staying in this capital? Forget it, our whole family will fall into the village this time, causing trouble for Leader Wang!"
"It's so great, I can finally give my brother a satisfactory explanation! Teacher Zhang, Teacher Lin is my brother, so you are my elder. Is there any trouble? Please don't see you in the future!" Wang Lun bowed with a smile.
"Where can you dare to be the leader? In the future, I will bother you! I will bother you, but when will we set off?" Teacher Zhang is also a cheerful person. He has settled down and no longer hesitates.
"We will leave the city overnight while the city gate is not closed tonight!" Wang Lun said.
Teacher Zhang nodded, then winked at the family and asked her to clean up the fines and soft things. Suddenly, I thought of something and suddenly said, "There are people from the Palace Commander's Mansion in front of and behind my house. I have to take advantage of these nails first!"
Wang Lun smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry, these people have been taken care of by me. The teacher is only concerned about packing some luggage and leaving the city while the moonlight is getting better!"
Teacher Zhang nodded and thanked him, turned around and went to pack up his things. At this time, Zhang held Jin'er's hand and said, "Jin'er, you have been with me and the officials for so many years. This time I don't want to ask you to take risks. Now I'm looking for officials. The two houses in the capital, as well as a lot of belongings, will be given to you. I'll find a good family in the future and get married!"
When Na Jin'er saw this, she burst into tears and said, "It is my blessing to meet a lady and an official. My maid has no relatives anymore. I just want to follow her to find an official. Miss, don't drive me away!"
I saw the two girls crying with their heads in their arms. Wang Lun knew that Jin'er was smart and affectionate. Madam Lin was in danger many times, but this girl was able to escape danger. He said immediately: "In such a big Tokyo, she is a woman who is helpless. Why not go with her sister-in-law? Let's talk about Gao Yanei's sister-in-law when she saw her sister-in-law leaving. If this girl stayed, she would definitely make things difficult for her!"
When Zhang saw that, he wiped the tears from Jin'er's face and nodded gently. Jin'er's girl burst into tears and laughed happily. Zhang lowered her head and tidied up her clothes, and went forward to stretch her left arm to the right, swayed her left hand and right hand on her crotch at the same time, lowered her head slightly, squatted her, and gave Wang Lun a blessing, saying, "I'm so anxious just now, I'm so rude, I hope uncle shouldn't blame me! Uncle came here from Shandong regardless of the difficulties and took me to reunite with my husband. The little girl was very grateful!" After saying that, Yingying bowed again, and Jin'er saw him and bowed together.
Wang Lun hurriedly replied, "It's not worth mentioning. Brother Lin Chong and I got the same thing at first sight. His business is my business. Sister-in-law, don't be too polite. Just clean up the fine things and we'll go out of the city!"
When Zhang saw this, he stood up and thanked him. With the joyful little girl Jin'er, he packed up his things in the room.
At this time, Wang Lun walked to the window and waved his hand. Jiao Ting, Zhang San, Li Si and others who had been waiting under the window turned over. Zhang San and Li Si recognized Lady Lin because of Lu Zhishen's relationship, and went forward to salute. Zhang still remembered these two people. After a few conversations, he saw Jin'er covering his mouth with one hand and stroking his heart with the other. Looking at a big round head with no eyebrows and beardless, his eyes were scared. Jiao Ting smiled and stood behind Wang Lun without saying anything.
