Chang'an [Rebirth]

After traveling thousands of miles, letters were cut off, and in the first few months after we separated, Chai Zheng could often hear news from outside, such as where King Keqin caused some troubles, and was slapped by the Duke of the country so that he was "not yet successful" and almost "successful". die".

Or it was said that Ruan Yuzhang was having difficulty moving an inch in Liangjiang. Even with the order from the current majesty, what he could do was very limited, and he fell into danger several times.

Afterwards, very little news was sent back to Chang'an City.

In the past six years, Chai Zheng has turned herself into a positive bastard. She is not practicing eighteen kinds of martial arts in the yard every day, or she is nestling in the study discussing history books and rituals with her brother. able to converge.

Over time, unlike the notoriety of being domineering in her previous life, everyone in Chang'an City knows that the lady of Chai Guogong's mansion is knowledgeable and reasonable, and does good deeds, but she doesn't know why every time she does something good, she keeps saying, "Accumulate Yin virtues, accumulate Yin virtues."

The evaluation of Chai Zheng outside is changing, even Zhao Linlang thinks that her daughter is afraid of being a genius.

At the age of two, the Analects of Confucius can be memorized fluently, and the Four Books and Five Classics are no problem. At the age of three, he can write poems by himself. If it is not for the child's lack of concentration and lack of strength in his hands, Chai Zheng's momentum of preparing for the Four Treasures of the Study is no problem.

At the age of four, Qi Meng started to hold a sword, and his moves consisted of a set of regular picks, stabs, pokes, and cuts. At the age of five, he took a gun. Chai Zheng said that he knew it well because he saw his father playing too much...

Zhao Linlang thought: "Your father has been away from home for two or three years, did he get the gun in your dream?!" And she became more and more convinced that her daughter is a genius.

By the time she was eight years old, Chai Zheng had grown into a juicy little girl.

She tied her long hair behind her head, her red tailbands hung down her shoulders, and she wore a long skirt that reached to her ankles. The inconvenient wide sleeves were replaced with narrow sleeves like a man's. She held a branch in her hand, and her hands felt cold The murderous look startled the sparrow.

Sitting in the corridor behind the yard, Chai Ji was leaning against a pillar, and was reading "Warring States Policy" to Chai Zheng. When he was reading the passage "Jing Ke Assassinates Qin", a newly bloomed peach blossom was suddenly handed over to him.

The stalks of the peach blossoms were cut off, and the dewdrops on them were still round and unbroken. The distance of a few feet was delivered to Chai Ji in such a flat manner. The little girl, like a sunset glow, fell lightly outside the corridor, and the hem of her skirt was just slowly pasted down at this moment.

At that moment, the words "Yuan Ting Yue Zhi" appeared in Chai Ji's mind.

He slowly closed the page: "Your ability is good, but mother still won't take you to the shore of the Yellow Sea."

"My mother didn't take me with me, but I grew legs myself. Can a living person be suffocated by the yard?" Chai Zheng shook the branch in his hand, "Peach blossoms are for you, thank you for coming to read to me early in the morning, and……"

Chai Zheng made a fool of himself.

She gave the peach blossoms to her elder brother in the hope that the lazy son of the Chai family would go out for a stroll quickly, as Chai Zheng and her future sister-in-law were still waiting.

Chai Ji didn't accept it, he opened his eyelids indifferently, "It's not that I want to come to read to you early in the morning, it's because you threatened that I wouldn't come, so you set fire to my yard."

"Brother," Chai Zheng said seriously, "Arson is illegal in my Dajing. Don't frame me just because you are my elder brother."

"..." Chai Ji ignored her, turned around and left.

"I advise you not to have any wrong thoughts. The coast of the Yellow Sea is full of dangers. Even Mother has made a lot of preparations in advance for this departure, and Dad's side is probably more difficult than imagined."

"Stay well at home. Duke Chai's mansion is high and the earth is thick, so you are free to make troubles. But when you leave the mansion of Lord Chai, there are many places in the world that you can't go. Don't cause trouble at this time."

With a wry smile, Chai Zheng picked off the peach blossoms and held them in her hands.

She thought, "What a wonderful home, I feel at ease just looking at the sky in all directions. But my parents and Xiaoruan are far away, and I can't take care of the place. If I continue to wait like this, I might as well become a monk as soon as possible." , Maybe Zhao Qian sees that I am pious, so he doesn't care about my Chai family's meritorious deeds?"

Based on Zhao Qian's narrow-mindedness, even if Chai Zheng changed her job to dig wells now, she would think that she dug the well too deep, so she might as well go down and fill it in.

What's more, Chai Zheng also received a letter from Liangjiang Governor's Mansion three days ago. The letter was written by Ruan Linshuang. In Chai Zheng's hands, even Zhao Linlang couldn't handle it.

Ruan Linshuang arranged such a thorough process, but the letter didn't say much. Even if someone snatched the letter halfway, the other party would not be able to understand the content.

Ruan Linshuang's message to Chai Zheng was, "The stinging insects and snakes come out, and the withered vegetation blooms (Note)." It's just a short poem, but Chai Zheng knows that this year's spring will definitely not be peaceful.

The wooden branch in her hand fell to the ground, and a few small ants slowly climbed up along the front end. Chai Zheng stood motionless for a long time, and the thin red dress on her body was soaked in water vapor, and it lost a bit of its elegance.

It wasn't until the sky gradually dawned and there was some movement in the front yard that Chai Zheng slowly came back to her senses. She originally wanted to insert peach branches in the yard, but when the thing was about to slip out of her palm, Chai Zheng raised her eyebrows and smiled again. Suddenly changed his mind.

The peach branch twirled around on her finger, and it was firmly held again.

While calling mother, she pushed open the gate leading to the front yard.

Chai Guogong's mansion is really lively these days, old people come to the door from time to time, even Zhao Qian has been here several times.

Because the battle in the Yellow Sea was urgent, Zhao Linlang, the forward general, was invited to come out.

However, Zhao Qian wanted the horse to run and wanted the horse not to eat grass. All the conditions he gave were empty words. Lin Lang felt that her imperial brother was insincere, and these days she was busy trying to break through the predicament.

Chai Guogong is away all the year round, he gathers less and leaves more, although there is an old ministry in Chang'an city, but its status is not high, all those who can help are sent out, and only five large carts of armaments are gathered, and they are parked in the courtyard.

Zhao Linlang went to the deep palace to look for her and Zhao Qian's biological mother and cried for two hours. When she left the palace, she wiped her tears, at least she got the reinforcements.

She was holding a roll of yellow silk and standing in the middle of the yard at this moment, instructing the workers to handle it with care and to reinforce the carriage even more firmly.

As soon as the door slammed behind him, Zhao Linlang didn't look back, knowing that it was her own girl who came out.

The noisy voices in the courtyard suddenly stopped, men, women, old and young all looked up at the little daughter of Chai Guogong's family who seldom showed up.

Chai Zheng is only eight years old, but she is not short, and she is the first among girls of the same age, but her final height is about the same as that of the eldest princess, and she is not as thin and tall as Chai Guogong.

Her eyebrows are long and thin, brushing against her temples, because there is a curved arc at the back, when she raises her eyebrows, she is very arrogant and fiery.

And Chai Zheng's eyes are substandard almond eyes, with a long and narrow arc at the end of the eyes, which are innocent and cute when they are opened, but cunning and dangerous once they are closed, like a long sword hidden in a sheath, which is easy to get close to. will hurt.

"Mother," Chai Zheng drew a long tune, and moved closer to Zhao Linlang, "Take me too."

Zhao Linlang shook her head for the 19th time, "You haven't even been out of Chai Guogong's mansion a few times, and you still want to go to the shore of the Yellow Sea, do you know how far it is?"

She patted Chai Zheng on the back of the head, "Be obedient and wait at home."

"But I heard that my mother became a pioneer officer at the age of 16, and she is not much older than me!" Chai Zheng fought hard.

"What's my situation? When your emperor's grandfather..." Zhao Linlang suppressed his voice, "I listened to the slander, and I was going crazy after taking the pill. If I don't fight, I will be trapped to death in the palace. You and Can I do the same?"

She stared, "Your father and I are still alive, so it's your eight-year-old's turn to worry."

Chai Zheng was not convinced, "You all have to go away. Only my brother and I are left in the Chaigong Mansion. Is it possible that the two of us were heartless when we were born. The wild geese are cut off from thousands of miles away, and we can't receive any news. Under the circumstances, can you live a good life?!"

Chai Zheng has always been an annoyed person since she was a child, but she has restrained herself a lot in the past few years, sticking to Zhao Linlang's side as a cute little padded jacket, sometimes even covering Zhao Linlang with prickly heat.

This is the first time that today's point of view is facing the wheat awns, and there is no room for an inch of controversy.

Chai Zheng even wanted to say, "If I don't go, Dad will be seriously injured and die in depression, you will live like a walking corpse, and our whole family will become someone else's meat and ghosts."

But Chai Zheng, who claims to be good-tempered, held back.

After a long silence, the people in the yard caught a glimpse of the tense atmosphere between the mother and daughter. They were more diligent and disciplined than before, and tried to walk lightly to reduce their sense of existence.

After a long silence, Zhao Linlang asked, "Are you really going?"

Chai Zheng nodded fiercely, "We must go."

"Before I went to war at the age of 16, I once competed with the leaders of the eight major armies in the martial arts field, and won the first place from your father, so I had the opportunity to leave the deep palace."

Zhao Linlang was already a married woman, calm and calm for many years, but now she pursed her lips and smiled, causing Chai Zheng to run away from home with goosebumps all over her body.

"If you can prove that you have the ability to protect yourself from trouble, so what if I take you with you, after all, Duke Chai's mansion must have an heir."

Now that Chai Ji has made up his mind to pursue an official career, he cannot be dragged down by the title of Duke of the State, not to mention that Duke Chai is knighted with military power. Chai Ji has the talent to rule the world, but he has no ability to lead troops. The Chai Zheng has traveled a hundred and eight thousand miles.Therefore, as long as Chai Zheng is willing, she will be the young master in Chang'an City from now on.

Since Chai Zheng is burdened with heavy responsibilities, it is also appropriate for her to learn a lot from today.

Zhao Linlang said: "It's not the end of today, Shen Shichu, wait for me at the martial arts field."

"Okay." Chai Zheng held a beautiful sword flower on a branch in his hand, "This is what you promised me, mother. If I win, you must not regret it!"
