Mrs. Rebirth

At noon, an unremarkable carriage drove towards the gate of the city. The driver of the carriage was a hunchbacked old man. When he passed the gate of the city, he slipped a coin of silver to the guard and gestured twice with his mouth open. .

It turned out to be a mute. The guard collected the money and used the tip of a gun to lift the curtain of the car to take a casual look. He saw several baskets of vegetables piled up on the car, and let him go without checking carefully.

The old man nodded and bowed his thanks, and then drove the carriage out of the city gate, waving his whip.

Not long after the old man left, a dozen men in blue guard uniforms on horseback arrived at the city gate, and the leader asked condescendingly, "Lai Xiaosan, did you see two young and beautiful women leaving the city this morning?"

"Hey, it's Brother Kun. You asked this question. There are many women who pass by the gate of my city every day."

The leading guard roughly described the looks of the two of them, then raised his leg and kicked him, "Think about it carefully, how could you not be impressed by such a beautiful girl?"

Lai Xiaosan smiled and avoided, "Your description is too general, willow leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, small cherry mouth, which prettier girl doesn't look like this?"

The head of the guards thought about it, and spat on the ground, "This tells us to help find someone, but we don't provide portraits, how can we find them?"

"Which girl are you looking for? Could it be your match?" Lai Xiaosan asked with a wicked smile.

"Go, how can I, a little guard, climb up?" The leading guard twitched his mouth, and continued to ask: "Think quickly, after the time of day, all the people passing by in a carriage are women, and the driver is a young man."

Lai Xiaosan rubbed his chin and thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said: "It's really not like that, there were quite a few carriages passing by just now, but absolutely none with at least two beauties on board."

"Really?" The guard leader asked with a frown.

Lai Xiaosan chuckled, "Really not! Can you still not believe my eyes? If there is such a beauty, I will definitely not miss it."

The guard took the reins and spun around on the spot, and said to himself: "I have asked at the gates of the four cities, it is impossible that there are none of them... Didn't you go out of the city?"

"One of them will go back to the mansion and report the matter to the young master, and the rest will follow me." The head of the guard led the people through the city gate and ran towards the Hongyuan Temple.

The horse team quickly caught up with the carriage that left the city before, the leader turned his head and glanced at the driver, seeing that he was an old and ugly old man, and the carriage was dusty, so he didn't care.

In the Zuo Mansion, Zuo Yunwen was looking at the door anxiously, while chattering a few words: "How can you leave your daughter at someone else's house and come back by yourself? Wouldn't it be okay if you brought Shuhui back?"

Xue gave him a blank look, "That's my sister's house, why is it someone else's house? And if something happens to my daughter in your own house, wouldn't you blame me for bringing her back?"

Zuo Yunwen choked for a moment, and walked up and down the hall with a worried expression, dizzy.

Zuo Shaoyan was a little out of spirits, rubbing his sore forehead and said, "Father, sit down and wait, there's no point in being anxious."

All the male servants in the mansion were sent out, but it seemed that two hours would pass, but there was no news.

The new steward of the kitchen came over and asked the masters what to have for lunch, Zuo Yunwen waved his hands irritably: "Just make whatever you want, who can eat at this time?"

Xue yelled with a dark face: "Wait a minute, the stewed ginseng for the uncle will be delivered on time, and don't forget the medicine for the second master!" A daughter is missing, and the two sons of the family are sick together. Xue felt that there was no more unlucky time in his life than this.

The whole family ate a few mouthfuls of food and were dismissed. At this time, the housekeeper came back with two young men, sweating profusely and said: "Master, Madam, I have been to several temples with strong incense. But the two ladies were still not found."

Xue's eyes darkened, and she barely stopped after shaking her body. Since there is no one in the temple, it seems that her daughter has undoubtedly been taken away.

"Master, what should we do?" Covering her face with the skirt of her clothes, Xue choked up.

"Wait a little longer and see if there is any news from the others." Zuo Yunwen said while shaking his cold hand.

The waiting time was long. Zuo Shaoyan fell asleep and woke up, woke up and fell asleep again, and passed most of the day in a daze. He only hoped that Jiang Che could make some progress.

The guards of the Jiang Mansion also went to the nearby temple first, but the same search was fruitless. The leading guard made up his mind and sent half of them to watch outside the other courtyard on the outskirts of the Fifth Princess, and then he brought people back to the Jiang Mansion to report.

Jiang Che was reporting to Zhan Yuanfeng the results of the investigation of the students during this period in the Imperial Study Room. While talking, he talked about the Zuo family, and naturally mentioned the matter that the eldest son of the Zuo family could not refer to due to illness.

Zhan Yuanfeng didn't care much about the Zuo family at first, even if the Zuo Taifu didn't stand on the side of the late emperor, he wasn't his enemy, even if the Zuo family produced another Taifu, it wouldn't have much influence on him.

All he cared about was that this family was valued by Lu Zheng.

"What do you think of the Zuo family and the Lu family's affairs?" Zhan Yuanfeng asked straightforwardly.

Jiang Che hesitated for a while, but he still didn't intend to tell the matter about Zuo Shaoqing and Lu Zheng, because he believed that if Zhan Yuanfeng knew about it, he would definitely agree with it.

After all, no one wants to see Lu Zheng become more masculine than him, and it is best to cut off the incense, then Zhan Yuan Feng may wake up laughing from a dream.

"Wei Chen feels that if these two families can get married, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"Oh? Tell me." Zhan Yuanfeng didn't say yes or no, but just stared at Jiang Che with great interest.

He has not dealt with Jiang Che and Lu Zheng very much, but the two have one civil and one martial arts, and so far there has not been much conflict of interest.

Moreover, the two of them grew up with him, and they could be regarded as confidantes, but Lu Zheng had the military power in his hands, which made people dare not trust him wholeheartedly.

"The emperor wanted to marry the fifth princess to Lord Lu before, so he must have been trying to win her over, but I feel that Lord Lu may not be able to win over with a single marriage."

Zhan Yuanfeng nodded, he didn't expect too much about this matter, he couldn't understand what kind of character Zhan Yunxiang was, Lu Zheng was blind to see it.

"And the emperor probably doesn't want to see him marrying the ministers of the court. The Zuo family has been in decline for so many years, and now there is only one bastard who participated in the imperial examination. Even if they are given another 20 years, the position they can climb is limited.

Therefore, Wei Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with the two families forming a good relationship between Qin and Jin. "It would be even better if the emperor could directly issue a decree to bestow the marriage!"

Zhan Yuanfeng was noncommittal, "Aren't you afraid that the Zuo family will take advantage of the big tree of Zhen Guogong's mansion to make their way to the top and surpass the Jiang family in the future?"

Jiang Che raised his eyebrows, and replied in a joking tone: "Then, as long as you don't hire the children of the Zuo family, your majesty, it will be fine, so the Zhen Guo Gongfu will have no help."

He was really afraid that Zuo Shaoqing was the top three in high school, it would be even more difficult to get him into the mansion that way.

"Haha...you are good at calculating, but I still want to see what the Zuo family concubine who can save Lu Zheng looks like."

Jiang Che's eyelids twitched, and his heart became a little restless. Could it be that the emperor also guessed that the person Lu Zheng really liked was Zuo Shaoqing?

He tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, the servants of the Zuo family have met before. They are indeed extremely handsome, and they have good literary talents and knowledge. It's just that they are still young, so I'm afraid they won't be of great use."

"It's not easy for you to praise him as being extremely handsome. You just said that the eldest son of the Zuo family is ill?"

Jiang Che raised his spirits, told Zuo Shaoyan's sad experience as a joke, and then sighed: "Mrs. Zuo even lost the eldest lady of the Zuo family in order to go home to take care of him."

"Lost it? What do you say?"

Jiang Che looked hesitant, and then bit the bullet and explained the glorious deeds of how the fifth princess embarrassed Miss Zuo, "This Miss Zuo is too ignorant to dare to offend the fifth princess."

Zhan Yuanfeng didn't need to think about what Zhan Yunxiang's actions were for. His thin lips curled up slightly, and he scolded with a smile: "After talking for a long time, it turns out that you are here to intercede for the Zuo family."

Jiang Che bowed, and complimented with a playful smile: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Those who don't know think Jiang Shilang is the one who has something to do with the Zuo family? Why is Mr. Lu not in a hurry but you?"

Jiang Che rubbed his nose. Could it be that he was trying to keep the eldest lady of the Zuo family for Lu Zheng so that he could get Zuo Shaoqing smoothly?

"Weichen has some friendship with Zuo Shaoyan, he asked someone to come to ask for help, how can I refuse to save him?"

"Oh? This is even more strange. Isn't Miss Zuo the sweetheart of Lord Lu's rumors? Why didn't the Zuo family leave the Zhen Guogong's mansion without begging for you?"

"Probably... I don't want Grandpa Lu to know about this." Jiang Che explained the thoughts of the Zuo family in one word.

Zhan Yuanfeng laughed out loud, expressing his understanding, the eldest lady of the Zuo Mansion was not of high status in the first place, if there was another scandal like disappearance for no reason, she might not be able to catch the old lady's eyes.
