Since Zheng Ruoying came to Bianjing, although there is a bustling and colorful world outside, she no longer has that girlish feeling. Her heart is as gray as ashes and beating so feebly.
The dandy Liang who brought her to Bianjing was named Zhao Zong'e, the son of Zhao Yunning, the king of Xin'an County. He relied on his reputation in the palace and had a close relationship with Queen Mother Liu to dominate the city of Bianjing.
To be precise, it was not Zhao Zonge who first discovered Zheng Ruoying's rare property, but one of Zhao Zonge's stewards!
Even a steward in the palace of the emperor's relatives and nobles is extremely powerful! Zhao Zonge, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's house, is domineering, and these lackeys in the house are even more rampant!
Normally, the manager would look down on the concubine from the small place of Qingyuan, but he saw the ability of Zheng Ruoying to attract money from the few resources at hand, and took her to Bianjing City. Inadvertently, people like Zhao Zonge found out where Zhao Zonge was. They are willing to let go of such sideways that make money and immediately step in to cut off their own management. This is the style of these shameless patrons.
Although the Zheng family had some success in Xinghua, it was nothing to mention outside of Xinghua. Even the current backbone of the family, his uncle Zheng Zuliang, had no idea where he was. Zheng Yiqian was just a rich man, and his daughter had such a big problem. I can only sigh and sigh at home all day long, secretly wiping a few tears, and there is no solution at all.
To put it bluntly, he also knew the origin of this person named Zhao. He did not dare to use the inheritance passed down from his ancestors to fight to the death against such a fierce god. The only way was to sacrifice his daughter. .
During the days of waiting, Zheng Ruoying always had a fantasy about the people who could not come back from Liang Chuan. In this remote mountain village, she could meet such a strange man as Liang Chuan. How could anyone in this life be able to fall into her eyes? But God loves to joke so much. People come inadvertently and leave without leaving a trace!
One month, two months, one year and two years, the years pass by in a hurry, just like the song that we first became friends with sings, several painful entanglements, many nights of struggle, waiting for the flowers to bloom, spring to go and spring to come again, the ruthless years laugh at my insanity , as if he had a dream, Liang Chuan disappeared without a trace of news.
The two businesses that Liang Chuan left behind have made her prosperous. Sugar has become a precious commodity used by officials, and the agreement with her father Zheng Yiqian has been fulfilled long ago. This small club in Heaven and Earth has actually become famous in the southeast, and many celebrities and their wives are flocking to Heaven and Earth!
It's a pity that as a female, her strength is still too weak, and she can't stand up to the covetousness of these dandies.
When her only relative was threatened, she chose to surrender and compromise, but surrender and compromise could not tide her over this difficulty.
When Zhao Zonge's manager learned that the chickens in Zheng Ruoying's hands were like golden roosters that could lay golden eggs, he kept asking her for the formulas of several whitening prescriptions, as well as the production process of the extremely pure sugar sand. Zheng Ruoying was also very stubborn in the end. If she wanted the formula, she would only give it to Zhao Zonge. The steward never expected that Zhao Zonge would know her existence in the end.
Zheng Ruoying has just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth! Zhao Zonge's ambition was greater than that of his stewards, and his vision was ruthless. He could tell at a glance that these two businesses were worth tens of thousands of dollars!
She tried all kinds of methods to get two tricks out of this woman's mouth. Zheng Ruoying learned about Zhao Zong'e's identity. She was smart enough to take Zhao Zong'e and threatened that Zhao Zong'e's clan would marry her into the palace. Only in this way was she willing to reveal the agreement between Liang Chuan and her.
Zhao Zong'e sneered after hearing this 'ridiculous' request.
What is Zheng Ruoying's identity? Even a chicken wants to fly up a branch and become a phoenix?
His goal is to join forces with the noble relatives of Bianliang, to become more beautiful and powerful, and to achieve success in one step without struggling for decades. Only then can he earn his gold medal clan status. This is not to marry a country concubine and make everyone in Bianjing laugh. big teeth.
The way he treated a country girl in private would be despicable if word spread about it. Zhao Zong'e, who had a very good reputation, hid Zheng Ruoying for now. He was confident that he would only need sweet words to deal with such a girl from the country. It's enough to use some means, so why take it by force?
Zheng Ruoying is also stubborn. The manager of the Zhao family and Zhao Zonge used force many times, but she always forced them to die. At worst, they would all be destroyed, so why not?
She was not in a hurry, she was sure that Zhao Zonge could not give up her face and bright future, and things remained at a stalemate.
She was like a duckweed and allowed to be bullied. She was kept in a cage like a bird every day. In this majestic house on Ma Xing Street, every servant dared to look at her with a mocking look. He laughed at her background, her overestimation of her abilities, and her wishful thinking.
How many ladies in the boudoir want to marry Zhao Zong'e, not only because of his outstanding appearance, but also because they covet his family background and ability. However, they don't know that Zhao Zong'e's ambition is so great that they dare not even think about it.
Zhao Zonge was originally sure of this matter, but he didn't expect to meet Zheng Ruoying, a chaste and fierce woman. He has always been able to capture women. He couldn't help but hate this little girl, and he couldn't bear to part with the profitable prescription. He was also disgraced.
At night, he was sitting in a restaurant in the east of the city having fun, and all the friends and colleagues were trying to make fun of him, which made him even more angry.
Zheng Ruoruo is like a plaything in a cage. The only opportunity for freedom every month is to go to the Daxiangguo Temple near Daliangmen in the west of the city to worship Buddha. In this life, she only hopes that her biological parents are safe and sound. She only has a daughter, but she has no choice. Full of filial piety.
I have prayed for thousands of miles, just hoping to move heaven and earth, bless my parents' health, and bless Liang Chuan, at least I hope he is still alive!
Zhao Zonge dislikes this kind of supernatural things the most. He only believes that everything depends on human beings and does not believe in ghosts and gods. Every time I see Zheng Ruoying going to the temple to burn incense with that girl-like look on her face, I feel even more unlucky. Even the servants wanted to appoint her to be on call, so they pointed out a groom. We all belong to our own people in Bianjing City. Are we still afraid that he will escape? Even if he could escape, how far could she run? Is there anyone in Bianjing City who dares to go against me and take her in?
The servants in the mansion also complained a lot about serving Zheng Ruoying, and the maids in the mansion also rolled their eyes at Zheng Ruoying in order to curry favor with Zhao Zong'e.
Zheng Ruoying knew that she was in a wolf's den, and she could only swallow her tears in her stomach. There was no one in the huge Bianjing city who could talk to her intimately, so all her words were told to the Buddha.
That day, when she was worshiping Buddha in the temple, a man she didn't know handed him a yellowed note. She frowned and didn't want to pick up the piece of paper. She only heard the man say: "My boss." came back."
Five words, others heard them as if they were spoken from heaven. Zheng Ruoying seemed to have turned to stone. She sat in the hall in a daze, with the Sanskrit chanting of Buddha echoing in her ears, but she could not listen to a word, and she licked her eyes with tears. The ground flowed down.
Or sadness is not despair, but the feeling of a helpless soul in hell finally seeing a glimmer of light. This man gave him peace of mind, this man made her wait hard, and when she was most desperate, he did not let her down.
She slowly unfolded the piece of paper, which read: I am still alive. It's not that I don't want to come back these years, it's just that I have drifted too far. Only that dead ghost dared to write such explicit words. A familiar feeling rushed over the lines of the paper. It was him!
Zheng Ruoying suddenly panicked. She originally looked down upon death and wished she could die to avoid the humiliation and loss of her virginity. But now she has an extremely strong desire to live. She longs to live. She wants to see that dead ghost!
Zheng Ruoying anxiously looked for the person who had just handed him the note. She looked around and saw that the people around her were either worshiping the Buddha devoutly, or interpreting lots with them, burning incense and lighting candles. No one noticed her.
Did you see it wrong?
But the note in his hand was so real.
Another voice came from behind: "Miss, this is not the place to talk, but my boss told me that he will arrive in Bianjing soon, please take care of him!"
The voice came from nowhere, and when I turned around, I couldn't see anything.
Zheng Ruoying, who immediately calmed down, immediately burned the note, left the Daxiangguo Temple as if everything was normal, found Zhao's carriage, and returned to Zhao Zong'e's house.
What followed was the constant game with Zhao Zonge, Zheng Ruoying's perseverance, and the possibility of going to Daxiangguo Temple more frequently.
She hoped to meet Liang Chuan at this place, and she also knew that Liang Chuan would definitely be waiting for him at this place.
The guards in the Zhao Mansion are very tight. Even if Liang Chuan is a tiger-fighting hero, this is Bianjing, not Fengshan. He cannot come in and out freely. Even if he sees himself, he will be taken away. The only suitable place is in the Zhao Mansion. outside.
Liang Chuan tried his best not to get any information from Zhao Yunrang, but the diligent Yeluhan got some information. The members of this intelligence team are also very thoughtful people. He knows that Liang Chuan will definitely bring one of his own. Horses will be an indispensable tool at that time, and there are countless horse shops on Ma Xing Street, which must be passed by. .
The team members in Maxing Mpuli left many marks, and then he wandered around these places every day. Huangtian paid off and the team members finally met Yeluhan on Maxing Street.
Under the guidance of this team member, Liang Chuan arrived outside the Daxiangguo Temple. Looking at these four big characters, he seemed a little familiar. Could it be the place where Rudarutika became a monk in the future? The more Liang Chuan thought about it, the more it seemed like it was really this place!
The two people were waiting in front of the Daxiangguo Temple like two guardian kings. The team member was traveling around the Daxiangguo Temple. He recognized the place where Zheng Ruoying appeared last time. If the three of them stayed there without doing anything, It seems too abrupt.
Daxiangguo Temple is highly respected by the royal family. Although the Song Dynasty ruled the Taoist sect, it did not hinder the prosperity of this thousand-year-old temple during the Tang Ruizong period. Devoted men and women from all over the world came in droves to pray for marriage and a bright future. The Buddha looked at all living beings with compassion and listened to their humble appeals.
After keeping watch for several days, there was no sign of Zheng Ruoying. Liang Chuan began to feel anxious. If one more day passed, Zheng Ruoying's situation would become worse, and the more likely he would return without success.
Just when Liang Chuan was about to break the boat and rush into Zhao Zonge's home, the long-awaited wall man finally appeared.
Zheng Ruoying appeared alone in the Xiangguo Temple. She didn't even bring any incense offerings. Her groom didn't follow her, so she entered the Xiangguo Temple alone.
Liang Chuan looked at her from a distance. She was like a monk. She was wearing a plain robe, without any ornaments on her head. Her face was also pure and clear, with a touch of depression. There was an otherworldly atmosphere in the fireworks. Feel.
In the hall, she first knelt down and prayed devoutly, and then Shi Shiran walked to a deserted corner, staring coldly at the people coming and going.
In the past few days, she had been looking for various reasons to take the opportunity to come to Daxiangguo Temple, because it was here that she had a second chance to meet the person who sent the message last time.
Zhao Zong'e didn't like that she came to a place like this to become a monk so frequently, but seeing how persistent she was, he couldn't stop her. And seeing how she was dressed to honor him, he was even more angry and could not see what he was doing. Jing, regardless of whether it was better or not, he had seen too much of Huo Da, so he let him go.
But she didn't dare to take a closer look at the person that day. After all, men and women were different. A few days passed by in a hurry, and she had no impression at all.
Where to find the messenger in the vast sea of people?
"Girl, are you looking for me?"
A familiar voice came from behind him, with a hint of frivolity and vulgarity. He wished he could slap him in the face, knock out his front teeth, and make his nose and face swollen.
But I found that my heart was so fragile that I couldn't do it, and tears came out unsatisfactorily.
I'm so angry, I really want to beat up this bad guy for making him wait so hard.
Liang Chuan was standing behind him, smiling maliciously.
Like a bad wolf, bumping into the heartstrings.
