Tang riddles

Shen Jin thought, this is probably the weirdest recognition ceremony in the world, because although she and Zhang Ruohan had known each other many, many years ago, she still couldn't find a suitable title to define each other's identity.

She ignored her sister's unreliable suggestion, and blurted out a sentence naturally:

[Sister Lian Maid, long time no see. 】

After saying this, she smiled lightly.It's been a long time since we saw each other. Even if we met, we still couldn't get to know each other.As early as after the blue robin came to find her in a hurry, she understood that sister could not hold back the offensive of sister lotus maid and was defeated.Well, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, I don't have to watch the two of them suspect and test each other anymore, it's really tiring.

On the way here, she thought for a while about how to speak to Sister Lian Mai, but when she really met her, she suddenly felt that she was thinking too much.Over the years, they have changed a lot, but in fact they have not changed. When we met, the words came out naturally.

Zhang Ruohan was also laughing, but tears gradually appeared in her smile. She leaned over and slowly squeezed Shen Jin's hand on the armrest of the wheelchair.Shen Jin's smile became a little forced, and the circles of his eyes gradually turned red.

Zhang Ruohan looked at her carefully, there was a crystal lake in those clear eyes, and the surface of the lake reflected Shen Jin's face, trembling slightly.She raised her hand and gently hooked Shen Jin's nose, and said with a smile:

"Qin Nu has grown up, and my sister almost doesn't know each other."

The tears accumulated in Shen Jin's eyes finally flowed down because of these words.Zhang Ruohan hugged her tightly and wept with her.Shen Sui on the side sniffed, stood quietly on the spot, looked up at the beam, and let out a foul breath.

When they met, it was difficult to say goodbye. None of them had ever thought of saying goodbye, but they were forced to say goodbye for seventeen years.Seventeen years have passed, and people have changed. Looking back, the old people are long gone.Only Sister Lotus, this respectable and lovely woman, has persisted in her seventeen years of life for their pair of sisters who have long since disappeared. She took the initiative to stagnate her time 17 years ago. I wish to be old, but I am afraid that I will never know each other again.Today, her time finally begins to flow.

Yesterday, they all left people, their relatives, their homeland, and the track they used to live. When they meet again today, the tears they shed are tears of separation.The tears are dry, and I will never be a liren again.

***

Zhang Ruohan is running a fever, but fortunately she has no other symptoms, but her body temperature fluctuates a bit.Tired of crying and full of heart, Shen Sui took her to lie on the side couch, she lay down on Shen Sui's legs, Shen Jin covered her with a blanket with his own hands, and the two sisters accompanied her, talking without a word , are all trivial and insignificant words.There was a warm smell in the air, which made people drowsy, and Zhang Ruohan soon fell asleep.

The bluebird should have grabbed the medicine and is boiling it, and it will be delivered soon.Zhang Ruohan was reluctant to leave, so Shen Sui let her stay in his room.Wuya and Qianhe came to visit once, and seeing that Sanniang was asleep, they left again.Shen Sui originally wanted to keep Wu Ya and Qian He and tell them about her identity, but after thinking about it, she decided to give up, she had other considerations.

Zhang Ruohan fell into a deep sleep, and Shen Sui and Shen Jin had a conversation that would affect future decisions.

"These days, a lot of things have started to deviate from our previous deployment plan, and I think it's time to solve our internal problems."

Shen Jin said worriedly:

【Sister, when did something go wrong in Qianyumen? 】

"The secret letter I sent to the head of the Dark Crow Hall should have arrived long ago, but she hasn't responded yet. I speculate that it is still under investigation. But I have a guess, the problem may lie in Chang'an."

[Long Phoenix Hall?Luyun Tower?Or Pingkangfang? 】

Shen Sui glanced at her, but said nothing.Shen Jin understood what she meant, and said:

[There is a problem with Pingkangfang. 】

"Qin Nu, you know who the current leader of the Dark Crow Hall is."

【I know. 】 Shen Jin's face was a little dignified.

"I asked her to check, instead of doing it myself, because I knew she was more suitable than me. Because Pingkangfang is her territory, she is much more familiar with it than me."

【It's just that sister Linyan may also be difficult. 】Shen Jin said, 【Those are all her girls. 】

"Qinnu, you have a kind heart, but some people are cruel. She can do what you can't do. Otherwise, I wouldn't give her the Dark Crow Hall's master in rotation." Shen Sui said, "The master of the Thousand Feather Sect The purge was many years ago, and we slacked off for too long, allowing the enemy to take advantage of it."

【Sister, how did you guess that something went wrong in Pingkangfang. 】

"How did you guess it, that's how I guessed it."

The two sisters looked at each other and said a noun at the same time:

"Golden Drunken House."

[Golden Drunken Workshop. 】

Shen Sui nodded with a smile, and explained: "The other party used Jin Zui Fang in both cases, clearly implying that we have something to do with the source of this medicine. Jin Zui Fang is an aphrodisiac/emotion/drug, which is its most widely used. The place with the most fireworks is the place of fireworks. In Chang’an, there is only Pingkang Square.”

[Two cases?This case also has? 】Shen Jin wondered.

Shen Sui nodded, and told Shen Jin about the drug powder that stunned Zhang Ruohan, and said:

"This medicine was originally used by Zhou Da to stun Zhu Yuanmao and Zhang Daoji, but it was later used by them to bewitch the Lotus Maid. Zhou Da's medicine was obtained by him when he was serving in the capital, and it was near Chang'an. Specifically From whose hand it is no longer clear."

[It seems that Pingkangfang is really inseparable. 】

"The other party has a deep influence in Pingkangfang, and it is very likely that they have formed an organization secretly. We have not noticed it. There are some singing and dancing prostitutes in Qinlou and Chuguan, and they may be their people. Many of our news come in and out. The Linyan family is in control, and the leak can only come through this channel. I can't think of any loopholes in Changfengtang and Luyunlou, the secrecy system there is very strict, and I don't believe that Cui Qian would make such a low-level mistake." Shen Sui frowned.

[Sister...] Shen Jin hesitated to speak.

Shen Sui signaled her to continue, Shen Jin nodded and said:

[You said, will there be any problems with raising a girl? 】

Zheng Juju?Shen Sui frowned.

Shen Jin continued: [The matter of raising the girl was arranged by me alone.

She was originally from Ji Village, Shexian County, Luzhou. Her family has been farming for generations, and she was extremely poor. Her father could not marry a wife when he was 40 years old.Until one day, a beautiful woman, Dianpei, came to Jicun, went to Zheng's father's house to beg for a drink, and gradually fell in love with him, and finally married Zheng's father.After she was born, she inherited her mother's beauty, and her father's mediocrity in her eyebrows and eyes. In short, her appearance was not very outstanding.But everything about her was taught by her mother. She is eloquent, tactful, and considerate. Her mother is definitely not an ordinary village woman.

Five years ago, his father went out to cultivate the land and never came back. He was beaten to death by the bullies in the town, and his family's land was forcibly taken, not only his family, but the entire Jicun village.These people do not want to become sharecroppers, so they can only be displaced and homeless.Juju followed her mother all the way to Chang'an, where they were going to sue the imperial court.However, he met a profiteer on the way, which made the mother and daughter dizzy, and they were sent to Pingkangfang, where they were separated from their mother.

Seeing that she was pitiful, Linyan wrote to me to explain the situation and asked if I could take her in. I nodded.Three years later, Juju got her mother's relics. It turned out that her mother was sold to a rich family as a lowly slave, and she died of illness due to overwork and worry.I sent people to trace the source, found the profiteer who deceived their mother and daughter, tied him up and gave him to Juju, and then killed him.I found the landlord who occupied the good land back then, took his land, drove him out of Jicun, and moved back all the old fellows from Jicun that I could find.From then on, this girl was devoted to us.

It's just that this stubbornness seems a little unreliable now.Whether it is her mother's origin, the final outcome, or Juju's own state of mind, it has become a mystery that cannot be fully confirmed. I don't know if I can still trust Juju completely. 】

About Zheng Juju, Shen Sui only heard about it, but didn't know it very well.At that time, when she met Juju at Linyan's house and thanked her for her great kindness, she was a little puzzled.This time Qin Nu carefully mentioned the matter of lifting to her, Shen Sui pondered for a moment and said:

"If you doubt it, doubt it, but don't act for now. I believe Lin Yan will have a clear judgment, and she participated in all matters."

Seeing that Shen Jin's mind was a little heavy, she explained:

"Don't feel guilty. As the superiors, we have to pay some price. We need to bear some cruel, bloody, and betrayal. Don't worry, sister is still there for everything. If you can't make up your mind, let me do it. .”

Shen Jin bowed his head to show that he understood.Shen Sui touched the top of her head.Shen Jin raised his head, glanced at Zhang Ruohan who was resting on Shen Sui's leg, and said:

[Sister, you told Sister Lian Maid about your identity, what should the princess do? 】

Shen Sui's hand stopped, slowly dropped, and rested on his knee.

"The matter has come to this point, I can only tell her the truth. It is not for her benefit to hide it from her, and the result will only increase the harm."

【Sigh... Sister Ruolian Maid doesn't know our identities, so you keep a distance from her, it's okay to talk about it.Now, I'm afraid it will be difficult.If...the princess refuses to agree, what should I do? 】

Shen Sui was silent for a moment, then said: "...she will agree."

Shen Jin asked: [Sister, how can you be so sure.People's hearts are the most unpredictable, what if she doesn't agree?I don't believe there is no such possibility. 】

"If she doesn't respond, I don't need to go to her again. I will do my own business and won't drag her into the water. "

Shen Jin was silent. She understood what my sister meant. This incident became a threshold to test the princess. If the princess could cross it, it would be a success. If she couldn't, my sister believed that the princess was no longer worthy of trust and entrustment.Recognition with Sister Lian Mai in advance was also the worst outcome they had considered at first.They were still unwilling to go to the princess again under such circumstances.Because of this, my sister was very sad about the test in her heart.

Now the worst result has really come, sister must pay the price for it.Or completely become a "shameless person", snatch away the princess's most beloved person, and cut off the friendship with the princess.Either drive the princess to a dead end, force her to sever her feelings, and embark on a road of iron and blood loneliness.No matter what the situation is, sister will undoubtedly become the most sorry person in the world to the princess, which will make sister very painful.

【Sister, you should understand that this matter is too risky.What we have to face is probably the most powerful person in the world. Without the princess, it will be very difficult to accomplish anything with our own strength.And if the princess hates you and obstructs it, it will be even more difficult for us to achieve our ultimate goal.The most terrible thing is that if the princess recognizes who you are and still hates you, then we must prepare to flee.We can't predict the choice of the princess, is it worth taking this risk? ] Shen Jin said very seriously.

Shen Sui sighed deeply, and said:

"Qin Nu, you understand that I have tried my best to avoid this situation. However, it still happened, and I don't regret doing so, so I have to gamble. My only bet is my future, my friendship , if she is no longer the Li Maomao I know, I will lose if I lose, I am not losing to her, I am losing to the most difficult choice in the world. Bet with your lives, if she can't tolerate me, I will take you away, after that, no matter ten or twenty years, I will continue to make a comeback, and I will never give up if I don't achieve my goal in this life."

Shen Jin felt his throat choked up and couldn't speak.Sister's words, at the end, revealed a sense of determination and a calm tone, but every word and sentence seemed to be crying blood, as if vomiting from the heart and lungs.These 17 years have been long enough, if it fails, and another [-] years, who can say that she can stand it.

Shen Jin, like Shen Sui, was a victim of that disaster.But she was different from Shen Sui. During the fire, she was hit by a collapsed beam and immediately passed out. She didn't have much memory of the disaster scene at that time.But Shen Sui remembered clearly that she had seen more than herself and experienced more than herself. It was Shen Sui who dug Shen Jin out of the collapsed ruins with his own hands. For this reason, the clothes on her back were burned. The residue started to burn without even noticing it.A pair of delicate hands, full of blood and soil, not a piece of good meat.

Shen Jin understood that sister's hatred and her pain were much more than his own.The pain in my body is definitely not as good as the pain in her heart.Her obsession is the most steadfast in the world, much stronger than her own.

Shen Sui lowered his head, looked at Zhang Ruohan who was sleeping soundly on her lap, and gently stroked her ears with his fingers.Countless thoughts rolled in my heart, some of which were out of order.

She didn't notice that Zhang Ruohan's eyelashes were trembling faintly, and his hands hidden under the blanket were slowly clenched.

The author has something to say: I would like to mention one thing. I always see that some friends’ comments are zero points, and they may not be familiar with JJ’s point system.When commenting in the future, don't forget to rate it, preferably two points (laughs).If the content of this chapter does not make you very uncomfortable, or if you are here to deliberately find fault and make trouble, please don't be stingy with commenting and scoring, this is very important for the article's points, and it is also related to the final score of "Tang Mystery".Xiao Shu bowed his hands in thanks.

PS: Only one chapter will be updated tomorrow.

PPS: Some friends may not have noticed that the names of the sisters Shen Sui and Shen Jin are linked together, but the homonym is "appeasement".Sui, the original meaning is the rope used to board the car, and it is extended to stabilize and appease.Jing, the meaning of stability.The combination of the two words actually means to appease and keep calm.Used together with the word "policy", it is tantamount to a political idea to temporarily ease the situation and seek peace.The term itself is a neutral term, and it has a derogatory meaning when used in certain events.I incorporated this word into the names of the two sisters, which actually symbolizes the two identities of "Shen Sui and Shen Jin", and it is a mask they use to seek a short-term compromise.
