Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 104 Find Zhang Family

Chapter 104
King Lu Xiaojun was worried that Chu Ci would enter the palace alone, and wanted to accompany her, but Chu Ci refused without hesitation, and finally brought Zhe Xia alone.

After the carriage left the Chu residence, it headed directly towards Miyagi.

After entering the palace, they changed to soft sedan chairs.

It was already an hour and a half after waiting outside the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"Your concubine, please wait here for a while, and the servant will go in and report first." Eunuch Yang bowed to Chu Ci and said respectfully.

Chu Ci turned sideways to avoid his salute, "Then I'll wait here."

Eunuch Yang nodded, turned around and led the people in.

This walk is time for a cup of tea.

Chu Ci left the mansion in a hurry and was not dressed thickly. Just when she was too cold to hold on, Aunt Ju Rui, who was beside the queen mother, finally came out from inside.

After saluting to Chuci, he looked at her softly with eyebrows and eyes, and while leading her to walk in, he said, "Your concubine has been waiting for a long time. There are a lot of people coming and going in the Palace of Compassion and Ning these days. I hope your concubine is not to blame."

There are a lot of people coming and going in the Compassion Ning Palace in the past few days...

Chu Ci listened to these words in his heart, smiled at Aunt Ju Rui, and asked casually, "Then who are they? Is the Queen Mother's physical discomfort related to those people?"

Aunt Ju Rui: "If you come back to the Empress Dowager, those who come to see the Empress Dowager are just some officials and family members. There is only a girl surnamed Su, who is [-] to [-]% similar to the Empress Dowager. She is very fond of the Empress Dowager. I live in the palace."

Hearing what Aunt Jurui said, Chu Ci immediately understood that the Queen Mother must have other purposes in announcing her into the palace this time.

It's just that I don't know whether it was the Su family who spent huge sums of money to get on the line of the Queen Mother, or it was the Su family that the Queen Mother first noticed.

Thinking like this, the two of them had already entered the bedroom.

Because of Aunt Ju Rui's words, Chu Ci was not very surprised when he saw Su Dieyi in the inner hall.

Her indifferent eyes flicked over her body lightly, then walked directly towards the queen mother, and bowed meanly, "A Ci has met the queen mother, the queen mother is auspicious!"

The Empress Dowager Ren looked at Chu Ci's clean and unwavering face, and called out in a low voice, "You are here, Aijia doesn't know what's going on, these days I always feel a little headache, the doctor in the Taiyuan Hospital is really a quack doctor. It’s useless, so I can only invite you, Ah Ci, to come into the palace!”

What she said was please, but on the surface she was very high-spirited, so there was no trace of politeness.

Chu Ci suppressed the sarcasm in his heart, walked straight towards her, and after standing still in front of her, he said softly, "Then Ah Ci will check the pulse for the Queen Mother?"

Empress Dowager Ren stretched out a wrist that was as skinny as snow.

Aunt Ju Rui hurriedly put a veil on it.

Chu Ci pressed on the handkerchief, held it for a moment, and felt confident.

The root cause of the disease she planted for Queen Mother Ren did not reach the time of attack.

Judging from the pulse condition, there is nothing wrong with her body.

"How is it? But what's wrong with what Doctor Liang is serving?" Seeing Chu Ci pondering, the queen mother raised her eyebrows and asked.

Chu Ci withdrew his hand and shook his head, "When you go back to the Queen Mother, Dr. Liang is serving you very well. The reason why the Queen Mother has been feeling so dizzy in recent days is probably because she was tired on weekdays, so she can sleep more comfortably at night."

"Hearing what you said, the Ai family can feel relieved." The queen mother said, her frown slightly relaxed.

Chu Ci made sure that the root cause of the disease had not occurred, so he nodded lightly, and bid farewell at the right time.

But Queen Mother Ren had already set up a complete set to wait for her to jump down, so why would she allow her to leave first.

As soon as she heard that she wanted to leave, she immediately raised her hand to hold her hand, and said, "A Ci, you have finally entered the palace once, what are you doing in a hurry, there is a person here who I haven't had time to introduce to you... I can't say, I can Use her to help you find your family back!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved at Su Dieyi.

Su Dieyi lived in the palace for a few days, and she had little or no understanding of Empress Dowager Ren's temper. Seeing this, she immediately stepped forward respectfully, saluted the Empress Dowager, then turned to Chuci, and cried softly. Sound "Shizifei".

Chu Ci heard the words and looked at her.

There was a polite smile in his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart—could the little girl have changed her routine under the guidance of an expert?I don't call my sister anymore...

Su Dieyi couldn't see any meaning from Chu Ci's face, so she pursed her lips and looked at the queen mother in a congenial manner, with a warm smile, and said crisply, "The queen mother really doesn't have Die'er, the eldest sister of the concubine It's really similar to Die Er!"

"Yes!" Empress Dowager Ren held Su Dieyi's hand tightly, nodded and said, paused, looked at Chu Ci again, and joked, "Just looking at the looks of the two of you, it means that you are not relatives." Sister, I'm afraid no one will believe it."

"What the empress said is true!" Su Dieyi lowered her figure even more innocently and charmingly, "Die'er also thinks that the Shizi Concubine is Die'er's own sister!"

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Ren raised her eyebrows in a timely manner, "Could it be that you really have a sister who lives outside?"

Su Dieyi knew that Empress Dowager Ren was handing her a ladder, so she hurriedly said, "Yes, Empress Dowager, there is indeed a sister above the maidservant, but because of the order of the Taoist priest, my father wanted her to be safe. When she grew up, she was specially arranged to live temporarily in Qingfeng Temple in Ling County, Bingzhou..."

"And then?" Queen Mother Ren asked softly, but before Su Dieyi could answer, she looked at Chuci again, "Aci, Aijia remembers that you were married to Jing'er at the time, and the household registration and road guide you handed over were stamped. It is the seal of Qingfeng Town, Ling County, Bingzhou..."

Although she said this in an uncertain tone, it sounded like a wake-up call to Chu Ci's ears.She had a vague premonition that things might not go well today.

Sure enough, next, Su Dieyi and Queen Mother Ren talked to each other, and then smashed a few heavy hammers of her identity.

In the end, he even proposed to look at the birthmark on her back.

The implication is that if there is a mole, then she is the eldest daughter of the Su family——Su Fengxiang.

If not, it is a coincidence.

"Ju Rui, you can accompany the concubine to take a closer look next time. You must be sure, and don't delay the concubine's confession." Seeing the change of Chu Ci's face, the queen mother was obviously unhappy, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud , looked at Ju Rui, and explained lazily.

Ju Rui looked at Chu Ci, and said respectfully and naturally, "Concubine Shizi, please!"

At this stage, even if Chu Ci wanted to hide it, he had no choice but to hide it.

She took a deep breath, and while Ju Rui was waiting, she took another step forward and said directly to the Queen Mother and Su Dieyi, "Don't bother Aunt Ju Rui, I do have a little red birthmark on my back .”

"So, Ah Ci, you are really the sister of Die'er girl?" The Queen Mother made a surprised expression.

Su Dieyi finally confirmed Chu Ci's order. She threw herself into Chu Ci's arms, hugged her waist tightly, and said, "Sister, sister! I finally helped daddy find you Now...you are my own sister, my eldest sister!"

"Okay, my sister is very happy to be able to find your relatives!" Chu Ci forcibly pulled Su Dieyi away, and endured the nausea, raised his hand to help her wipe the tears on her face, and said softly, "Good boy , don’t cry, or you will lose your dignity in front of the Queen Mother.”

Hearing what Chu Ci said, Su Dieyi slowly stopped crying.

Afterwards, he knelt down towards the queen mother again, and said gratefully, "The queen mother Die Er helped Die Er find her sister. The kindness of the queen mother Die Er will never be forgotten in this life!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed three more times.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Ren asked someone to help her up.

After glancing at Chu Ci, he asked about Su Dieyi's father's official position.

Su Dieyi hurriedly described the situation at home.

After listening to the Queen Mother, the expression on her face was solemn for a moment. She looked at Su Dieyi, and tapped the short table with her knuckles lightly. After a while, she said in a deep voice, "The in-laws of the Nanjun King, the family status is not good. That's too low... You said that your father was a Jinshi in Xin Younian, so his books should be good. If that's the case, the Ai family should tell the emperor and recommend him to be a servant in the Imperial Academy. Speak!"

When Su Dieyi heard it, his father had been promoted to a Beijing official!

With red eyes busy, he kowtowed to Queen Mother Ren with an expression of emotion.

Empress Dowager Ren looked at Su Dieyi's red forehead, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face. While asking the maid to help her up, she felt distressed, and said, "What a sincere child, hurry up!" Come here and let the Ai family take a look, this young and delicate face, don't dare to break it!"

Hearing this, Su Dieyi hurriedly walked towards the queen mother, and the two became intimate again.

Chu Ci stood by and watched, as if swallowing a fly, nauseated and nauseated.

But Yun Chao values ​​filial piety the most, and she can't leave, so she can only wait here silently.

It wasn't until the queen mother made another decree to let her go back to Su's residence for two years to make up for Su Dieyi and the Su family's pain of missing relatives.

She frowned slightly, and had to remind her, "Did the queen mother forget that I'm already married!"

Hearing what she said, the queen mother gave her a reproachful glance and said, "How could the Ai family forget such a big thing as your marriage. But don't you live in the Nanjun Palace?"

Chu Ci: "..." Well, this is indeed the root of her troubles.

The Empress Dowager Ren took a fancy to her and couldn't refute it, and then said decisively, "That's it, you and Die Er will go back to the house today, take a good look at your grandmother, father, mother, and then choose A good day to recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors!"

Chu Ci had no choice but to agree.

I thought it would be good to go back to Su's house with Su Dieyi for a while.

It just happened to hold the hatred between the original owner and the original owner's mother.

Right now, the Su family is trying their best to get her to go back and recognize her ancestors.

But as the saying goes, it's easier to invite God than to send God away. One day, she will let the Su family know that it is easy for them to invite her back, but it is difficult if they want her to go.

Seeing that Chu Ci had no objection to returning to Su's house, Queen Mother Ren pretended to be tired and asked Ju Rui and Eunuch Yang to send Su Dieyi and Chu Ci out.

Ju Rui only sent Chu Ci outside the Ci Ning Palace.

But Eunuch Yang was ordered by the Queen Mother to send Chu Ci and Su Dieyi to Su's house all the time.

After leaving the palace, two carriages have been prepared outside, both belonging to the palace.

Eunuch Yang sent Chu Ci and Su Dieyi to the front car first, and he took the little eunuch to the back car.

After getting into the carriage, as soon as Chu Ci sat down on his front foot, the rear foot of the carriage rattled forward.

Su Dieyi knew about the Compassionate Ning Palace, and her family felt a little wronged, so she couldn't help but peek at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci felt her gaze and didn't say anything, just letting her look at him.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the end Su Dieyi couldn't help it, and called "big sister" first.

Hearing her address, Chu Ci opened his eyes, looked at her coldly, and said mockingly, "Su Dieyi, you don't think that if you call me big sister, I will treat you like my own sister, right? ?”

Su Dieyi's face turned completely pale when she heard Chu Ci's merciless mockery at her. She lowered her head and murmured, "I, we are sisters, aren't we?"

Chu Ci snorted softly, "You and I are not real sisters, you and your younger brother are siblings of the same mother!"

"Sister..." Su Dieyi didn't expect Chu Ci to know so many things about the family, so she was stunned.

Seeing her terrified appearance, Chu Ci felt interested in talking to her for a while. She folded her arms and looked down at her, "Believe it or not, one day you will regret it. How to recognize my sister?"

Su Dieyi bit her lip, puzzled, "Sister, what does this mean?"

"You'll know if you go back and ask your mother?" Chu Ci gave her a cold look, then closed his eyes again, ignoring her.

Looking at her smooth and delicate skin like white porcelain, Su Dieyi felt a severe lump in her throat.

She...how did she know that her mother didn't want her to go back home, or even let her appear in front of her?

Could it be that she said that she didn't want to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, but in fact, she investigated everything inside and outside of Su's family?

If that's the case, then... what did she find out?
Thinking of this, Su Dieyi frowned tightly, and didn't want to talk to Chu Ci anymore.

Because the Su family lived in the outer city, the carriage ran for an hour and a half before stopping quietly.

"Shizifei, Miss Su, the Su residence is here!" After a while, Eunuch Yang's voice came from outside.

Su Dieyi quickly stood up, flustered, looked at Chu Ci uncomfortably, and said, "Sister, we're home, we should go down!"

Chu Ci snorted softly, opened his eyes, covered his dress, and walked down with Su Dieyi.

Outside the carriage, Eunuch Yang waited with his arms folded. When he saw the two getting out of the carriage, he knocked on the door of Su's house and sent them in before politely saying goodbye.

From the Su family, it was Su Kun who came out to greet him.

And only him.

Seeing the tears in the corners of his eyes, Chu Ci couldn't help but glance at him to make amends. If he was really a loving father, how could he still ignore the original owner in Qingfeng Taoist Temple for more than ten years.

"Xiang'er!" Su Kun saw the sarcasm in Chu Ci's eyes, but for the sake of his own future and the future of the Su family, he still bit the bullet and stepped forward to yell flatteringly.

When Chu Ci heard this, he glanced at him coldly, and said sternly, "Father will call me Ah Ci before he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan!"

"Okay, okay!" Su Kun was extremely excited when he heard that Chu Ci was willing to call him father, and there was no way he would not agree to her request.

Besides, the name is just a code name.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chu Ci more eagerly, and quickly led the way, leading Chu Ci to the old lady's yard.

For a moment, Su Dieyi was completely ignored.

Su Dieyi saw that her father who loved her the most could not see her at all now, she felt sad, it must be a lie, but when she thought of all the benefits that Chu Ci had brought to their family, she felt relieved again, and then speeded up. Footsteps, caught up with Su Kun and Chu Ci, followed Su Kun's other side, and told the story of the empress dowager's recommendation of him for promotion.

After Su Kun listened to it, he looked at Chu Ci without even thinking about it, and said flatteringly, "Hanlin attendant... Although this official position is not high, it is the most upright and respectable. Xiang... A Ci must be Was it you who suggested it to the Queen Mother?"

Hearing the words, Chu Ci casually said "No".

Su Kun was embarrassed for a moment, then nodded his head and said with an awkward smile, "Even if you didn't propose it, the Queen Mother must have looked at your face. Who made your medical skills so good? I heard that several of the same age as my father Said, the Empress Dowager often invites you into the palace to see her doctor!"

Chu Ci pretended not to hear his temptations and nagging, and walked forward step by step without saying a word.

And Su Kun was not angry when he was humiliated.

There is no way, who made Chuci now in his eyes, that is a golden phoenix!
Phoenix!Always have a temper.

Thinking of this, not only was he not angry, but he became proud instead.

Due to the decline of the Su family, the house is not big.

It didn't take long for Chu Ci and the others to arrive at the back room where the old lady lived.

Chu Ci looked at the row of dark houses, and upon closer inspection, it was even more desolate than the place where the servants of their mansion lived.

I couldn't help turning my head to look at Su Kun, and asked suspiciously, "Does grandma live here?"

Su Kun listened to Chuci's question, and there was a flash of embarrassment on his face, but soon, he became helpless again, and said in a low voice, "It's not that your father and I are not filial, but your grandmother... ...she's going to live here herself!"

"Grandmother wants to live here?" Chu Ci asked again.

Su Kun repeatedly said, "Yes, it has nothing to do with being a father. If you don't believe me, you can ask the servants of the Hefu...or you can ask your grandmother!"

Just as they were talking, several people had already reached the middle room of the back room.

Chu Ci nodded, "Please ask father to come forward and call the door!"

Su Kun gave a "hmm" and walked forward.

Chu Ci waited on the spot, watching Su Kun slam the door a few times, and not long after, an old woman in black cloth came out of the door.

After the old nanny saluted Su Kun, she asked him why he came.

Su Kun didn't know what to say, but turned around and pointed at her.

After hearing this, the old mother closed the door and went back into the house.

After a while, Chu Ci ignored Su Kun and walked towards Chu Ci's direction. After stopping in front of Chu Ci, he bowed respectfully and said, "Are you the eldest lady? Please go in alone!"

"Grandmother only invited me in?" Chu Ci pointed to his nose in disbelief, paused, then looked at Su Kun and the embarrassed Su Dieyi, "What about father and sister?"

"They won't bother the young lady to worry about it, they won't see the old lady, they will go back by themselves!" The old mother said lightly, without any respect for the old lady in her words.

On the contrary, there is a bit of restrained respect and tenderness towards her, the eldest lady who descended from the sky.

Chu Ci had no choice but to follow the old mother up the steps to the middle room.

When passing by Su Kun, he gave Chu Ci a complicated look, and whispered, "Your grandmother has a bad temper, remember to be gentle when talking to her!"

Hearing what Su Kun said, Chu Ci was about to nod his head, but before he could make a move, the old mother said first, "I don't need to worry about these things, the master should take the second lady back first!"

After speaking, he pushed open the door and invited Chu Ci in.

Chu Ci entered the house, only to feel that the house was extremely dark.

And the old nanny next to her seemed to see her psychology, called the eldest lady in a low voice, and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, although the old lady's temper is not very good, she is definitely not pregnant. Wait a moment , the old slave went to light the lamp first!"

As she spoke, she walked forward and lit all the candlesticks in the room under her gaze.

Now, the room is finally brighter.

"Miss, come with this old slave!"

Seeing her satisfied expression, the old mammy also smiled a little, waved to her, and then led her towards the inner room.

While walking, he said, "Miss, don't be afraid, the old lady is waiting inside. When you meet the real person, you will know what kind of person the old lady is!"

Chu Ci nodded, "I know, I won't just listen to my father's words."

The old nanny gave a "hmm", lifted the curtain, and walked in step by step.

After Chu Ci walked in, she realized that the entire inner room had been converted into a small Buddhist hall by her titular grandmother. Except for the incense table and futon, there was only a bed in the corner for sleeping.

It turned out that the old lady was simpler than she had imagined.

"Miss, the eldest lady is here!" The old nanny went directly to the incense table, and then bowed to report to the old lady who was seeing Fomi.

When the old lady heard the words, she didn't get up immediately, but continued to pick up the fomi.

Seeing that she wasn't moving, Chu Ci didn't want to rush forward, so he just stood there and waited silently.

She waited for more than half an hour.

It was not until half an hour later that the old lady finished picking up the fomi and slowly stood up from the ground.

After turning around, he looked at Chu Ci calmly.

Chu Ci met her gentle eyes, and felt that what Su Kun said to her before she came in was simply nonsense.

This old lady looked like a person with a bad temper, but she was clearly a very docile person.

Thinking like this, she hurried forward, knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and said, "Granddaughter Su Fengxiang has seen grandma!"

"Good boy, get up!" The old lady said, she stepped forward and helped Chu Ci up herself.

Then, he held her hand again, carefully looked at her eyebrows and eyes, with tears in his eyes, nodded again and again and said, "Like, really like Xueniang!"
