Chapter 605 The Empress Dowager Arrives!
The sun is warm, the sky is clear, and the sky is as clear as the sky is clear. Lu Zheng's body has been well-behaved. These days, he has cured his illness and cultivated himself, and Lu Zheng has wiped out his previous decline. He can be said to be full of blood and has returned to his best state, both his body and mind.
Lu Zheng has always lived in this village very comfortably, and there was no Xue family or others disturbing him in the middle. Lu Zheng was not in a hurry. Anyway, this is the situation in the capital now. If Lu Zheng wants to reverse the decline in a short period of time, it is extremely unlikely that he will wait patiently for the opportunity.
There is a saying that the more urgent things you are, the more you should not be anxious. The situation in Shangjing seems to be changing, but when Lu Zheng left Shangjing, he was no longer in the center of the vortex, so he took the initiative instead.
In comparison, although Four Ye saw the opportunity to take action, he missed the opportunity. What should he do next? The contradiction between the two forces in Shangjing could not be reconciled. Four Ye used Lu Zheng to force the two sides together. Now that he lost the goal of Lu Zheng, he would have to split again. Which side should Four Ye stand on? Can he still get along with the others?
The situation was very subtle, and if there was a slight mistake, it would be doomed. In this case, Lu Zheng finally received the news that the young lady of the Xue family had passed by and said that she would meet Mr. Lu.
Lu Zheng walked out of his yard under the guidance of a big girl wearing a red silk shirt and walked backwards. This villa was not as flat as an ordinary mansion, but the more he walked in, the higher the terrain, the higher the terrain, presenting a step-by-step structure.
Lu Zheng walked up the stairs, looked at the big girl in front of him, and a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Looking at the big girl's red silk shirt, it seemed like he had arrived in Yangzhou and the Zhang family back then.
The first big girl Lu Zheng met in the Zhang family back then was Ying'er. The red silk shirt that Ying'er wore was very similar to the big girl in front of him. Lu Zheng thought about it, and suddenly it had been many years, and many of those people and things had been forgotten!
The Zhang family in Yangzhou had long been destroyed, dead, fleeing, exile, and exile. The remaining orphans and widows arrived in Shandong. Lu Zheng kept arranging people to help and take care of him. It is said that life was quite prosperous, but it was obviously not as good as the Zhang family in Yangzhou back then.
Lu Zheng turned these thoughts in his mind, and his mind was full of imagination. The big girl in front suddenly turned around and smiled at Lu Zheng, saying, "Mr. Lu, you are waiting in this hall! I'll report to my wife, remember, there are many female relatives in this backyard, so don't run around, otherwise it will be bad if you mess up your etiquette!"
Lu Zheng hurriedly bent down and nodded, saying, "Miss, I still know this kind of etiquette!" Lu Zheng said this, and the girl smiled again, revealing her white teeth, looking particularly festive and innocent.
The girl left, leaving Lu Zheng alone. Lu Zheng sat on the guest seat in the hall. Looking at the brilliant decoration and arrangement of the hall, he sighed in his heart that the master was so exquisite.
The layout and furnishings here are extremely gorgeous, and they are all in the style of Jiangnan. The furniture made by Su Gong can be transported here through Guanshan, which is enough to show the dignity of the owners here. You should know that it is thousands of miles away from Beiyan Shangjing to Yangzhou, and the north and south are not in trade. All of these furniture and furnishings are delicate and heavy. The freight alone is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Lu Zheng sat upright on the chair. A servant brought hot tea, but he couldn't wait for the master to appear here. After about half an hour, a hint of irritation appeared in his heart.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea slowly, stood up and looked outside, and suddenly saw the crowds of people at the entrance of the yard outside, and could vaguely see the yellow tent roof and luxurious ceremonial guards stretching up from the bottom of the mountain.
The servants and maids in the manor rushed out one by one. Lu Zheng frowned and couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart. He thought, could there be a guest in the manor today? Looking at this scene, the guest must be of a big background, and it must be a royal family!
Lu Zheng thought this in his heart, and he saw Feng Chang in a short while. He suddenly thought of Empress Dowager Xiang, and his face changed drastically. This woman suddenly arrived. Is this blessing or a disaster?
Lu Zheng still clearly remembers that when the mission arrived in the capital, Empress Dowager Xiang met him. At that time, this woman left a deep impression on Lu Zheng. Obviously, that meeting was a nightmare, which made Lu Zheng's actions in Shangjing constrain from here. This most powerful woman in Northern Yan State had a very different view of the mission and Lu Zheng, which made Lu Zheng have all his abilities and could not show any of them in Shangjing.
Afterwards, Lu Zheng analyzed that this matter is very likely to be related to Cen Jinshuang, because since Cen Jinshuang has a close relationship with Empress Xiang and as the prime minister, he was proved to be Dakang's spy. This is the only point that Empress Dowager Xiang, as a woman, could never bear it.
No matter how strong a woman is, how capable she is, and how talented she is, her mind is different from that of a man. After all, what good impression does Cen Jinshuang have been exposed, and what good impression does the Dakang Mission still hope to leave in the heart of the Queen Mother?
The Empress Dowager was determined to shake hands with Dakang, but something happened in the middle, giving Chu Tianba an opportunity to take advantage of it, which completely lost control of the situation. Lu Zheng did not expect that he would meet this woman again at this moment!
The Empress Dowager has arrived, no wonder the owner here has no time to see Lu Zheng! Lu Zheng vaguely saw Empress Dowager Xiang who was catching up with the phoenix, and the owner who was kneeling on the ground to greet him.
The empress dowager arrived, with a huge situation and extraordinary pomp. She rushed in from the gate and was surrounded by people. Then there were crowds along the way. Lu Zheng remained calm at first and felt that he was just a bystander, but soon he realized something was wrong!
Because he found that the villa was actually very small, and the hall where he was located was actually the center of the villa, it seemed that the Queen Mother's ceremonial guard was coming here!
Lu Zheng took a breath and it became very difficult to get away because there were already people around him. After he hesitated a little, he lost the best opportunity.
At this time, the empress dowager and his party had already arrived in the yard. Lu Zheng saw an extremely familiar figure beside the empress dowager. He stared at the man and looked carefully. He felt a thunder slashing down his head, and his whole body instantly became like a clay sculpture.
This woman...
Lu Zheng's thoughts were pulled to Jiangnan, to the Zhang family, to the woman who made him feel gentle for the first time. Lu Zheng never thought that he would see her, nor did he expect to see her in such a situation!
Yes, this woman is Liu Wan, the eldest grandmother of the Zhang family. This woman who disappeared with Master Yan has actually arrived in Yan State over the years. Not only has she arrived in Yan State, but she has also become a noble lady.
Looking at Liu Wan at this time, she was graceful and luxurious. Her originally delicate facial features now can't tell even the flaws. She is still so beautiful that it makes people unable to control herself, but her temperament is incomparable to the past.
But... Lu Zheng recognized her at a glance, because from her, Lu Zheng saw not only his appearance, but more of a faint resentment and sorrow. Even the most luxurious clothes could not be covered up.
"Sir Lu, hurry up, come here quickly and hide it! Tens of millions..." Lu Zheng was in a daze, and a sound suddenly sounded behind him, but it was the girl Hong Lingzi who led Lu Zheng to come before.
Seeing this girl, Lu Zheng immediately felt relieved. Why is this girl so dressed up? Why is it all Jiangnan style? It turns out that all this is because of Liu Wan.
Is Liu Wan the young lady who is quite famous but extremely mysterious in Shangjing? This must be like this!
In a panic, Lu Zheng was pulled by his little daughter and grabbed it into the screen on the right side of the main hall. There was no trace of nervousness in his heart. His mind was full of Liu Wan, and only joy and loss were born.
I am happy because after so many years, Lu Zheng finally saw her. Judging from Liu Wan's condition, she has lived a good life over the years and is a top noble in Shangjing.
And the loss is that this woman does not belong to her after all. The two of them had the first love. If it weren't for Master Yan, Lu Zheng would have been with Liu Wan for a long time. They might have raised several children! Now they are destined to be together...
Lu Zheng had these thoughts in his mind, and Liu Wan's little voice heard in the hall: "Oncestor, I have no idea about this hall. In the hot spring in the backyard, I have prepared your favorite soup and fresh fruits for you, and also invited several corners of Shanglinyuan. You always want to listen to any drama you want to listen to, and you can take care of all the matters you respond to!"
Listening to Liu Wan's voice, Lu Zheng became more and more sure that he had not admitted his mistake. However, he became more and more nervous. Obviously, knowing Liu Wan's existence, Lu Zheng knew that it was not a lucky chance to survive this time. More importantly, this time, he had nothing to do with the political game between the Xue family and even the various forces in Shangjing.
It is very likely that it was Liu Wan's personal behavior that he was saved. If so, Liu Wan would definitely be in a huge crisis now.
Empress Dowager Xiang is definitely not an ordinary person. Why did she appear here at this time? Lu Zheng keenly smelled the extremely dangerous aura, and he felt that his trouble might have come.
Lu Zheng thought this in his heart, and the voice of Empress Dowager Xiang came from outside: "Girl, you are just thinking too much! Ai's family came here just to see you and wanted to find someone to talk to! Whether it is hot springs or food and drinks, Ai's family is not interested! Come on, come on, sit down, Ai's family also sit down, we're just talking here, okay?"
