Spring Girl's Notes

It was Gu Jinzhi's third visit to Zhen's house in Liujiazhuang, and Mrs. Zhen and Grandma Zhen both relaxed their vigilance and were quite happy.

They welcomed Gu Jinzhi.

Then, when they saw the handsome young man following behind Gu Jin, with plain clothes but outstanding temperament, bright eyes, and suave smile, they couldn't help being stunned.

Gu Jinzhi introduced: "This is the King of Luyang, my husband. I brought him here today to pay New Year's greetings to the old man. You treat me as a daughter, and you haven't seen my husband yet."

Old Master Zhen's eyes were moistened immediately.

Grandma Zhen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Zhongjun.

They welcomed Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun to the middle hall of Zhen's house, and the maids brought refreshments.

"When did brother go back to the city?" Gu Jinzhi asked Grandma Zhen in a friendly tone.

Grandma Zhen hurriedly replied: "He rushed back early in the morning on the first day of the new year, and came back after the Lantern Festival. Mr. Tan thinks highly of him, he has no time to be idle, and there are few days at home..."

Gu Jinzhi sighed.

"I came out of the palace yesterday and saw him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed here..." Gu Jinzhi said.

Both Grandma Zhen and Old Master Zhen were slightly stunned.

The two looked at each other, and then both looked at Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi smiled slightly, but stopped talking about this topic, and only asked Grandma Zhen how the children in the family were doing: "How many children are there in the family? I have been here several times, but I have never seen them. Today's New Year's Eve , why don't you invite them to come and give me a New Year greeting?"

Mrs. Zhen's attention was immediately drawn back.

She smiled and said: "Country children don't know the rules. Be naughty, afraid of offending you, don't dare to let them kowtow."

"I don't like to hear that." Gu Jinzhi smiled all over his face, "Who in Beijing doesn't know that I grew up in the country? Could it be that I grew up in the country and despise the country children instead? Go and get them, I Look at the appearance. How many aunts are there in the family? Bring them here and let me have a look..."

Grandma Zhen saw that Gu Jinzhi was speaking sincerely, so she hurried to bring the children over.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a group of people followed Grandma Zhen in.

Headed by three boys.The oldest one was seven or eight years old, and looked very much like Zhen Mo; the youngest was three or four years old, dressed so thickly that he couldn't move his feet, and was pink, neither like Zhen Mo.She doesn't look like Grandma Zhen either, she looks like the aunt behind her.

Then, there were two girls, both wearing pink long coats and buns.Both are five or six years old, and one is a little dark.Lively and clever, his eyes went straight to Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun.Curious; the other was fair and shy.

The five children kowtowed to Gu Jinzhi one after another.

One of Gu Jin gave them a purse.

Then, Zhen Mo's three concubines also stepped forward and kowtowed to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also sent the lucky money.

Instead of letting them go, she asked them one by one.

Five children, three aunts, Gu Jin asked every detail about his affairs, and occasionally asked Grandma Zhen a few words.Among these children.Three of them were born to Mrs. Zhen.The other two were born by two aunts.There was also an old aunt who lost her child.Then there is no child.

The aunts are not particularly beautiful, gentle and obedient.

Time unknowingly arrived at dusk, and the sky dimmed.

The guards arranged by Shicang have also arrived.

Gu Jinzhi got up and said to Grandma Zhen: "Sister-in-law, let's move and say a few words..."

Grandma Zhen was suspicious, thinking of Gu Jinzhi's statement that Zhen Mo went to see her yesterday, her heart became tense, and she followed Gu Jinzhi out of the middle hall.

Zhu Zhongjun sat silently the whole time.

At this moment, he picked up the newly added hot tea from the servant girl and took a sip slowly.

He didn't speak, and everyone in the room didn't dare to speak, and the lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Gu Jinzhi and Grandma Zhen have already left the house.

The two didn't go far, and didn't even find another place to talk, they just walked slowly along the wall.When Gu Jinzhi chatted with people recently, he seemed to love being in the ice and snow.

"Sister-in-law, the capital is going to be unstable..." Gu Jinzhi said to Grandma Zhen.

She took one sister-in-law to another, which made Grandma Zhen feel very close.

It's just these words that make people feel cold.

"What?" Grandma Zhen asked.She didn't suspect that Gu Jinzhi lied to her, she just pretended that she lived in the country and had no news.And Gu Jinzhi is in the city, and she is also a princess, so she knows about all major events.

Grandma Zhen felt that Gu Jinzhi was close again.

She believed Gu Jinzhi's words from the bottom of her heart.

"... Not many people know about it." Gu Jinzhi lowered his voice, "Before the Juyongguan Dilong turned over and many fortifications collapsed, have you heard of it? Last time there was a heavy snowstorm, the grassland froze and killed many livestock. The Mongols They rely on livestock for their livelihood. The livestock froze to death, and they couldn’t survive, so they beat them.”

Grandma Zhen's heart tightened.

She quickly asked, "Where did the call go?"

"We're approaching Juyongguan Pass." Gu Jinzhi said, "The imperial court was afraid that everyone in the capital would panic, so they kept it a secret. The elder brother was very worried about the family, and said that the old man had never enjoyed the blessings, and that the war would cause people to die, so what should we do..."

Zhen Da's heart felt as if it had been immersed in ice water.

She couldn't judge whether Gu Jinzhi's words were true or not.

If it is true, what can be done?According to what Gu Jinzhi meant, Juyongguan could not stop the Mongols, and it would only take a few days to reach the capital.

But what if it's fake?

What reason does Gu Jinzhi have to deceive them?

Gu Jinzhi was very kind to the Zhen family. He visited several times and said that Zhen Mo was her savior. She had no reason to lie.

Grandma Zhen made a simple judgment in her heart and chose to trust Gu Jinzhi.

"Then what should I do?" Grandma Zhen became anxious, her breathing was not smooth.

"Go south." Gu Jinzhi said, "Brother didn't say it clearly, but he meant it. He wants me to help you and go south as soon as possible. If the news spreads, more and more people will go south, The road is not easy to walk..."

Grandma Zhen nodded repeatedly, and said, "Thank you for telling me. I'll pack up my things tomorrow and send someone to Tongzhou to hire a boat to go south..."

"Where can we have time tomorrow?" Gu Jinzhi said, "Think about it. If Juyongguan arrives in the capital, the fast horses will only take more than a day. Mongolian horses are faster. They attack overnight, and the city can still block them. You in the countryside It became the place where the Mongolian soldiers camped, is there any way out?"

Grandma Zhen subconsciously gathered her collar.

A chill drenched her whole body.

Gu Jinzhi's identity is there, she has no conflict of interest with the Zhen family, and Zhen Mo is kind to her, Grandma Zhen heard the words of the war.Just thinking of death and war, my mind was already in a mess, and I didn't have time to think about anything, and listened to all Gu Jinzhi's words.

She nervously asked Gu Jinzhi: "You mean to leave overnight?"

"Yes, let's go now." Gu Jinzhi said. "Brother also means the same. He is still on duty today, so he can't come back to see you off. He gave me some banknotes, saying that he borrowed them from Dr. Tan, and they are here for you. You must take your children and the old man and leave quickly."

"Okay, okay..." Grandma Zhen's lips trembled a little.I don't know if it's cold or scared. "He doesn't come back at night?"

"If he can find time to come back, he won't bother me." Gu Jinzhi said.

Grandma Zhen glanced at Gu Jinzhi.

She thought that Zhen Mo dared to trouble King Luyang and Princess Luyang because the matter was indeed critical, and the Tan family had always looked down on the Zhen family and would not help.

The only one who can help is Princess Luyang.

Zhen Mo's love for the family.Although caring, he acted quite indifferent.He asked someone to arrange for the family to leave.He also lent money to his family to make money, just like Zhen Mo's style.

Grandma Zhen no longer doubted him.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's hire a car now..."

"No need to hire a car." Gu Jinzhi said, "I will send the Buddha to the west, and the carriage and guards have been arranged for you. They will take you to Luzhou, Anhui. Luzhou is the prince's territory, so hide for a while, if it is safe It's all right, come back."

Grandma Zhen really thought she was going to Luzhou, so she nodded and agreed.

Gu Jinzhi asked her to order her confidant maid to pack her things.

The carriages were all parked at the west back door of the Zhen Family Courtyard.

****

Everyone in the Zhen family, except Grandma Zhen, didn't know what was going on, and everyone couldn't help feeling flustered.

But Grandma Zhen is very authoritative at home, and no one dares to question her words.Even the old man was confused.

Zhu Zhongjun whispered to Shicang: "Arrange a group of people to go from Luzhou. You go on another road, set up more suspicious soldiers, so that people can't catch up, and send them directly to Guangxi."

Shicang Road is.

Gu Jinzhi took another [-] taels of silver to Grandma Zhen, and asked her to eat and chase on the way.

Grandma Zhen packed up all her belongings, and put all other precious things in the warehouse, leaving a confidant in charge to let him guard the house with peace of mind until they come back.

They hit the road overnight.

There was no commotion.

Although the remaining servants of the Zhen family were afraid and didn't know what was going on, none of them dared to go to the city and tell Zhen Mo.

Gu Jinzhi left another guard to look after him for two days.

It was already dark and there was a curfew in the city.

Instead, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun stayed overnight in Zhen's house.

They got up at the fourth watch, ready to go back to the city, and the gates of the city opened at the fifth watch.

After rushing to the city, the two of them went straight back to the palace, where they had breakfast to catch up on the sleepiness.The couple didn't wake up until noon.

In the afternoon, the two went to visit some homes.

Like the eldest princess and the eldest princess, they all went to pay New Year's greetings, leaving only Prince Jian's mansion behind.

On the second day, Shi Cang, who had sent off the Zhen family members, came back.

He said: "The road is safe, no one is chasing..."

Zhu Zhongjun nodded in satisfaction.

On the third day, Si Jian also came back from Tongzhou.

He had arranged for an empty convoy to go south.

After walking for two days, everyone in the Zhen family has already traveled a long way.

Zhen Mo still didn't find out.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he didn't plan to go back to his home in the countryside.

I usually go back once a month or so, never expecting something to happen at home.
