The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 58 The surname is Jiang and the name is Qingyue

Zhang Zhiye picked up a woman who was on the run on her way back to Beijing.

The woman ran all the way, saw his carriage, and knelt down in front of his carriage.

"Sir, save me!"

Zhang Zhiye opened the car curtain and saw a woman dressed as a village girl.

The woman's face was stained with a little dirt, and she was covered with gauze, but she had a pair of eyes that looked like splash-ink paintings. Tears were rolling in her eyes, and her long eyelashes were dripping with water, and she was extremely beautiful.

Zhang Zhiye was just stunned for a moment, then lowered the car curtain.

These eyes are indeed beautiful, but there are many beauties in Jinling City, and there are also many women in distress outside the city. He does not have the leisure and elegance to save people in distress.

Just as he was about to urge the coachman to set off, the luxuriously dressed woman next to him sneered and said: "What kind of life-saving help? I just hope that you guys will take her into the house to be a concubine or a wife, and then she will have hope in this life." In Jinling City There are many noble gentlemen whose carriages have been stopped like this."

This is his cousin, Zhou Rong.

With just these words, Zhang Zhiye changed his mind.

The car curtain was opened again, and he said to the woman: "Come up."

Zhou Rong frowned in disgust as he watched the woman kneel down and walk into the carriage after thanking her.

"Cousin, do you want her to sit with us?"

"You can go and take your own carriage," Zhang Zhiyi said warmly, "Arong, this is my carriage."

Having said this, Zhou Rong looked ugly for a while, then snorted, stood up and jumped out of the carriage in a depressed manner.

When he passed by her, Zhou Rong wanted to glare at her, but paused when he met her eyes.

"Have I seen you somewhere?"

The woman lowered her head and said timidly: "Miss, I am a humble servant. How can I meet Miss?"

Zhou Rong was quite satisfied after hearing this, "You are somewhat self-aware."

After saying that, she turned around and went to the carriage behind.

The woman entered the carriage and sat down timidly near the curtain. Her face showed the joy of surviving the disaster, "Young Master, if you save my life, you will be my benefactor again. I am willing to work hard for you..."

"No need," Zhang Zhiyou looked her up and down, "There are many rough messengers in my house, and you look like you are not used to doing any work. When we enter Jinling City in a while, you can just find a place to get off the carriage. "

Zhang Zhiye was no better than those ladies in the boudoir. He had traveled abroad since he was a child and had seen a lot of the world, so he could naturally see the weirdness in her.

It makes no sense that a lowly servant could have a pair of hands with fine skin and tender flesh.

The woman knew that he was not easy to fool, so she stopped pretending to be reserved, lowered her eyes slightly, and got straight to the point: "I have heard that Mr. Zhang has traveled all over the world for many years. I dare to ask, is Mr. Zhang lingering over this great river and mountain, or is he looking for it? who?"

Zhang Zhiye smiled and said, "You really came prepared."

It is not a secret that he is looking for someone, but it is still far from his eyes.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the woman said calmly: "My mother once stayed at your residence. After Ling Ci disappeared, my mother also left the Zhenguo Palace."

Zhang Zhiye still didn't look at her.

"I've heard similar words hundreds of times."

Either to seek reward or to get closer to him, there were countless people who lied and claimed that they were old acquaintances of his mother.

"Master, don't you want to ask me my name?" The woman sat upright and said, "My surname is Jiang and Qingyue."

Jiang Qingyue.Hearing this name, Zhang Zhiye was stunned for a moment, "It has the same name as an old friend from my childhood. It's a pity that she died young."

"Dead?" Jiang Qingyue asked.

At first she heard people say that she would suffer from diaphragm if she died, but after hearing more, she got used to it.

Zhang Zhiye spoke of this old childhood friend with many emotions: "She is also pitiful. Something happened to her family when she was young. Now her father has finally been cleared of his grievances... But she died three years ago. It’s quite miserable, she won’t be able to see today.”

Jiang Qingyue naturally heard about her father's innocence.

A month after the wedding ceremony, the emperor suddenly fell ill and remained ill for more than ten days.

Ten days later, the emperor's health improved, which coincided with the retrial of Jiang Liu in Dali Temple. The emperor severely punished the culprit and sent people to Yelang to welcome Jiang Liu back.

However, Xichang was gone, so the emperor made Jiangliu the Marquis of Yangping, gave him his mansion to live in his old age, and told the world that he had wronged Jiang Qing.

If not, Jiang Qingyue would not dare to reveal her name.

Now she is no longer the "daughter of a sinner".

Zhang Zhiye looked at her again: "It's strange to say that after Jiang Changgong's accident, many women with the same name as Jiang Qingyue changed their names for fear of bringing bad luck. Now there are people calling themselves by this name."

Jiang Qingyue heard his sarcasm, disapproved of it, and smiled sweetly: "I was five years old and you were eight years old when I left the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. If you say that I am an old friend from childhood, you think highly of me."

She was too young at that time and remembers playing with Zhang Zhiyi who was in the Duke's Mansion, but she can't remember many details.

Especially later, he was absent from Jinling City for many years and was almost never seen again.

Zhang Zhiye was stunned again. He left the Duke's mansion at the age of five... Does she mean that she is Jiang Qingyue, the daughter of Jiang Changgong?
The surprise in his eyes fleetingly disappeared, and the sarcasm on his lips deepened.

"I've seen people who cheat, but I've never seen someone who lied about being Jiang Qingyue. Which ravine did you come from, and you didn't know that Jiang Qingyue was already dead?"

He asked the driver to stop and said to her: "Get off."

If she keeps talking nonsense, she will really be kicked out.

Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath and said in one breath: "I know exactly where Ling Ci is."
-
Zhang Zhiyi, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, came back and brought back a strange woman.

Zhang Zhiye took the woman to visit his aunt, Sun Hongling.

Sun Hongling was sitting on the main seat, holding tea in her hand, staring at the pockmarks on the woman's face.

His facial features are pretty, but no matter how handsome his face is, it won't help if his face is full of pockmarks.

Sun Hongling cleared her throat and said helplessly: "Zhiyi, this is..."

"Mother, don't look at this girl's ugly appearance. She is a famous lucky girl in Longnan. She will be lucky wherever she goes."

Zhang Zhiye said confidently: "She was sold to eight families, five families got rich, three families were promoted, the people from Nannan robbed her, and my son spent 500 taels to buy her. Maybe my son will be able to pass the exam this year."

Sun Hongling laughed when she heard this: "You don't work hard on your homework, but you believe in this kind of thing. Well, since you would rather believe it, then just keep her."

Jiang Qingyue burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, madam!"

Sun Hongling stopped looking at her and asked Zhang Zhiye, "If you stay in the mansion for a longer time, your grandfather and father will not recognize you anymore."

"My son won't leave when he comes back this time." Zhang Zhiyi said.

Sun Hongling looked at him carefully and saw that his expression was serious. She knew that he was not just talking casually. She paused and warned: "You should have heard about it outside. Your sister was promoted by the Holy One and is now Concubine An." China is a troubled place, so when you come back, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and don't cause trouble and let your sister be criticized."
