Empress Dowager Zhuang's action of picking up the silver note.
The rain is heavy and the wind is strong. If empress dowager Zhuang looks up, she can't open her eyes at all.
She squatted so stiffly on the ground where the rain turned into a river, like a little old woman in the countryside who was snatching vegetables from the ridge.
She stopped for a moment and went on to pick up the money.
It must be that I miss Jiaojiao too much. I heard it wrong.
How can Jiaojiao be here in such a heavy rain?
"Auntie?"
Another familiar voice, this time directly approaching her head.
The boy in coir raincoat and hat knelt down beside her.
Empress Dowager Zhuang still couldn't raise her eyes, but she caught a glimpse of the ugly red tassel gun, small braids and big red flowers, which she could not be more familiar with.
However, Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes suddenly stopped looking up.
She bowed her head and plucked her hair from her face in the rain, trying to straighten it out so that she didn't look so embarrassed.
She also moved the toes of squatting hemp, and seemed to want to put on a less embarrassed squatting posture.
Gu Jiao tilted her head and looked at her: "aunt, is it really you? What are you doing here? "
This time, my aunt is no longer questioning. She is sure that she has met the person who is most unlikely to appear in Dayan Kingdom, and that she has been thinking about all the time.
All of a sudden, the old lady was wronged. She was robbed in the street, suffocated into steamed shrimp in the carriage, beaten by the wind and rain, and fell so many times that she couldn't get up. She didn't feel any wronged.
But Gu Jiao's aunt let her all strong instant break merit.
Her eyes were red.
Like a child who was bullied outside and finally found by his parents.
With a shriveled mouth and a sour nose, she cried, "Why are you here? I've been waiting for you all day."
Gu Jiao was at a loss for a moment and said, "I, i... I'm a little slower on the road. I'll pay attention next time. I won't take a carriage. I'll ride a horse and ride the black wind king."
The old lady didn't understand what the black wind king was. She squatted on the ground holding the bank note and was wronged to have a puff.
"I didn't cry."
She said stubbornly.
"Well, yes, my aunt didn't cry." Gu Jiao quickly took off her coir raincoat and put it on empress dowager Zhuang.
"You don't have to wear it to mourn your family." As empress dowager Zhuang said, she not only refused Gu Jiao's coir raincoat, but also took off her hat.
Gu Jiao stopped her.
To Gu Jiao's strength to stop a little old lady, there is no pressure.
She tied the bamboo hat and coir raincoat tightly, which made empress dowager Zhuang want to take them off.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhuang stopped fighting fearlessly. She sniffed, pointed to a silver note in front of her and said, "the last one, my feet are numb."
Gu Jiao picked up the silver ticket and handed it to empress dowager Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't take the silver note away immediately, but handed it to Gu Jiao with the rest of the silver notes in her hand: "here, it's for you."
Many years later, when Gu Jiao galloped across the battlefield, she could always recall this scene. One rainy day, she traveled thousands of miles and squatted on the ground to pick up the flying silver tickets one by one, just to give them to her intact.
When she lived at school in her previous life, she did not understand why her roommate's mother was so carsick that she could take a few turns from the countryside to the city just to deliver a can of pickles to her daughter.
She understood that feeling, she thought.
Gu Jiao carried her aunt to the restaurant near the alley and came back to carry the old sacrificial wine.
"Two wing rooms." Gu Jiao said.
The old sacrificial wine wandered around the gate of Lingbo academy, which had been watched by the shops nearby. The innkeeper wanted to check the identity of the two elders, but Gu Jiao showed the token of the National Palace directly.
The shopkeeper tensed his body: "please, old lady! Please, young master
"Get two buckets of hot water." Gu Jiao ordered.
The shopkeeper replied busily: "yes! Yes! Here we go
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at the shopkeeper with a sudden change of attitude: "what token do you have that works so well?"
Also worried about a few children because of various reasons and lead a hard life, but it seems not the same as their own thinking?
"The token of the National Palace." Gu Jiao said truthfully.
Empress Dowager Zhuang gave a calm hum.
At this moment, some immersed in the excitement of recognizing Gu Jiao, did not respond to what the National Teacher hall was.
Although the old man took his luggage, they were all wet by the heavy rain.
Gu Jiao sent the two elders to their respective rooms, and then went to the nearby clothing store to buy some dry clothes. She had spare clothes on the carriage.
Gu Jiao is here to pick up Xiao Jingkong today. Unexpectedly, the little guy went into the palace with the little princess.
Empress Dowager Zhuang's mouth is drawn. Is the little monk doing so well? Can you go to Dayan palace?
"What do you do as a weapon?"
Worthy of the empress dowager, her eyes are very poisonous.
Gu Jiao grabbed a small head: "recently there are a lot of enemies, self-defense."
Empress Dowager Zhuang sat in the bath bucket behind the screen and gave a calm hum.
As if to say that this is the right way to open, she knew it was not peaceful, she came at the right time.
When empress dowager Zhuang and the old sacrificial wine were all finished, Xiao Heng also came.
When Gu Jiao went downstairs to buy clothes, she asked the coachman to go back to the National Palace and Xiao Heng to come to the restaurant.
Xiao Heng didn't know it was his aunt and the old man. When he came into the wing room, he saw the old man sitting on the chair, and his mouth couldn't be closed.
There are not many opportunities to see Xiao Heng's gaffe.
Gu Jiao sat next to her aunt, looking at him in her spare time, her lips slightly raised.
Obviously, I enjoyed the little face of Xianggong.
Xiao Heng awoke from the shock for a long time. He hurried into the room to close the door and insert the bolt.
"Auntie, teacher." He said hello in surprise.
The old toaster coughed softly: "teachers are easy to expose their identities."
"Grandfather." Xiao Heng changed his mouth.
The old man took the teacup with satisfaction and took a sip of it.
Xiao Heng was so shocked that he couldn't believe what he saw, but Er Lao really appeared in his big Yan's Shengdu.
Xiao Heng took a deep breath, and suppressed the shock of his heart. He asked the second old man, "Auntie, auntie, how did you come to the state of Yan?"
The old sacrificial wine asked in a tone: "are you asking the reason or the method?"
Xiao Heng said, "don't pick your words."
"Before you answer your question, tell me about your face?" Lao Jijiu looked at the tear mole under his right eye and asked.
This tear mole was originally lost by Princess Xinyang.
Xiao Heng touched the tear mole at the moment and said, "it's painted."
The old man said, "what do you do with this painting?"
Xiao Heng said, "I'll talk to you in detail in a moment. First, I'll tell you how you and your aunt came."
The old sacrificial wine had a positive look: "don't worry about you? You've been there so long that you don't even have a letter. "
It's only three months since we left Zhaoguo. You started more than a month ago. You've been waiting for more than a month. Jiaojiao has been fighting for a long time.
"And the method?" Xiao Heng asked.
The old sacrificial wine dusted off his broad sleeves and said with pride, "your aunt and grandfather, I forged a letter of employment from Lingbo Academy."
Xiao Heng
You don't have to emphasize granddad.
As for why Lao Jijiu knew what Lingbo Academy's employment documents looked like, it was because fenglao had received them. Fenglao's talents were underestimated in the state of Zhao. The major academies in the state of Yan were very popular about him. At least six academies in the state of Yan invited fenglao, including Lingbo Academy in Shengdu.
It's a pity that they were all rejected by fenglao.
Lao Jijiu saw those documents and forged one according to his memory.
However, the anti-counterfeiting work of he Lingbo Academy was so good that it took him more than a month to succeed.
It's for someone else. It can't be imitated at all.
Gu Jiao leans on her aunt and listens to the master and the apprentice. She seldom gets so close to others. She looks like she is nestling in her aunt's arms.
At this moment, she is not the commander-in-chief of heifengqi, nor the young doctor who helps the wounded and the dying. She is her aunt's charming.
Empress Dowager Zhuang is not used to being close to people, but with Gu Jiao by her side, she can put down all her guard.
Of course, she didn't hold Gu Jiao in her arms. That's not her nature, and it doesn't conform to Gu Jiao's nature.
The feeling between them is beyond the intimacy of appearance, which is the tacit understanding that can burn life for each other.
This dialogue is mainly between Xiao Heng and Lao Jijiu.
My aunt and Gu Jiao are the audience in the room. As they watch the master and apprentice talking, they blow their beard and stare, enjoying the closeness and peace that they haven't seen for a long time.
They both thought it was good.
It's nice to have my aunt by my side.
It's good to find Jiao Jiao.
……
"Well, we're done. It's your turn." Old wine way.
He didn't mention the hardships of the journey, but Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao still firmly believe that they are still old.
"All right, all right, what's going on here?" Lao Jijiu was most afraid of sudden sensationalism, and hastened to urge Xiao Heng to exchange information about Shengdu.
The situation on their side is a little complicated. Xiao Heng can't talk about it for a moment, so he has to start with the identity of Gu Jiao and him.
"What? You have become the emperor's eldest grandson instead of shangguanqing? " Lao Jijiu was shocked. It's not the biggest shock for him and Zhuang Jinse to come to Sheng. Xiao Heng's life experience is!
Xiao Heng added: "forget to say that shangguanqing is Xiao Qing, the son of my mother and my father."
The old toaster thought, "the son of Princess Xinyang and Marquis Xuanping? Is the child still alive? "
"Yes." Xiao Heng said, "I was brought to Yan by my mother."
"Your mother is --"
Xiao Heng seriously replied: "the woman in front of Dayan is shangguanyan."
So the woman who was brought back to the capital by Xuanping Marquis was not a slave of Yan state, but a Royal Princess.
Is Xuanping so lucky?
Empress Dowager Zhuang is actually a person from the palace. Her sensitivity and acceptance in this aspect are higher than that of the old sacrificial wine, and her reaction is still calm.
But then when Xiao Heng talked about Gu Jiao, she couldn't calm down.
The adopted son of the government, the commander of heifengqi, and the public enemy of the top ten aristocratic families——
The Empress Dowager drew her lips.
She said, how can this girl not do things?
Look, she's turning Sheng upside down.
——Or do it by yourself.
Xiao Heng talked with Lao Jijiu for quite an hour before finally exchanging all the information.
The second elder was silent.
There are so many small things that they can't be shocked. They need time to digest them.
Although Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao have won many victories at the present stage, the experienced empress dowager Zhuang and the old sacrificial wine show that the playing methods of a few small things are not perfect. They think one by one and lack strict organization and plan.
How fierce was the fight between empress dowager Zhuang and the old sacrificial wine? It was from the imperial court to the harem, from the harem to the officialdom, and even indirectly to the battlefield.
Just two little things. Drizzle.
Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted: "if you had only used ah Heng's means, the AI family would have banished you for three thousand li and would never have been able to go back to Beijing for the rest of your life!"
Old wine cut a: "if you were like Jiaojiao, I would have let you sit through the cold palace!"
Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao
If you two quarrel, it's a fight. Can you not take us?
We don't want face, do we?
Besides, you didn't have to hide your identity. Of course, you wanted to fight how you fought!
Let you try to change your name to the state of Yan!
I'm so angry.
The couple turned away.
"Cough." Under the gaze of Empress Dowager Zhuang's death, the old sacrificial wine was defeated. "Ah Heng, where do you live now?"
……
Half an hour later, a carriage drove into the National Palace.
As soon as the heavy rain stopped, Yu he came from the corridor in the West with the boiled medicine. He saw Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao leading a pair of strange old people into the Qilin hall.
He doubted: "Your Highness, Mr. Xiao, they are --"
Xiao Heng said with an air of complacency: "they are young master Xiao's patients. They came from the outside city. It rained heavily and there was nowhere to go. I decided to bring them here first. I'll talk to the national teacher later. "
Yu he said: "no, it's a piece of cake. The master told his elder that his eldest grandson should take the National Teacher hall as his home. You are welcome. "
After all, you have never been polite to the National Teacher hall.
It's not once or twice that you've brought those friends to spend the night. It's a surprise to bring two normal patients this time.
Xiao Heng didn't know that shangguanqing was so rude and it was polite to be a national teacher.
Recently, due to the strict investigation in the inner city, Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao left their aunts in the inn. They were not at ease, so they brought them back to the palace of the national teacher for the time being.
But Guoshi hall is not a place to live for a long time. As soon as it gets light tomorrow, Xiao Heng starts to find a suitable house.
There are more than ten rooms in the East corridor of Qilin hall. Only Xiao Heng, Gu Jiao, shangguanyan, xiaojingkong and a few servants live in the rooms, and many rooms are vacant.
Because it is "two in law", living in two rooms is too strange, Gu Jiao only let servants clean up a room.
Looking at the spacious room, Lao Jijiu said nervously, "well, I'm going to lay on the floor tonight."
"Ha ha." Empress Dowager Zhuang turned her eyes and went to Gu Jiao.
"Your Highness the eldest grandson!"
Four palace people doing sweeping in the corridor saluted Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng slightly nodded: "you go to busy."
"Yes." The four went on working.
Empress Dowager Zhuang has just come to the door of Gu Jiao's room.
She looked at the two maids and two eunuchs who were doing Sasa.
His eyes fell on one of them with a slight frown.
