620. The past becomes smoke
Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and looked at the eunuch Sili.
The eunuch Sili quickly opened his sharp voice and shouted, "The ceremony continues."
Worship the heaven and earth.
Worship the high hall.
The couple bowed each other.
Zhao Dongting treated Ying Er with the courtesy of marrying the queen, and now he is naturally treating Zhang Ru like this. These steps are indispensable.
When worshiping the high hall, Zhang Jue and the valley master who were sitting in the upper seat were both crying.
The bride also burst into tears in her red veil.
This wedding encounters this change, and it may leave a strong color in the history of the Song Dynasty in the future.
Until the tedious etiquette process ended, the valley master did not look at Zhang Jue even if he had a look.
A palace maid brought wine and delicacies into the hall.
Zhao Dongting did not participate in this process anymore.
He looked at Concubine Yang and said, "My mother, I'll ask you to preside over the banquet."
Concubine Yang Shuno knew that he must be worried about Zhang Jue and the Valley Master, so she nodded slightly.
Zhao Dongting held Zhang Ru's hand, "Master Gu, Lord Zhang will follow me to the bedroom?"
But when he left, Le Chan naturally followed.
The Valley Master was probably as Zhao Dongting expected. In fact, he hoped that Zhang Jue could give an explanation. He didn't say anything, but he still followed him to the palace.
On the way to the bedroom, no one spoke.
Until he sat down in the yard of the bedroom, Zhao Dongting looked at the cold face of the valley master and said to Zhang Jue: "Mr. Zhang, didn't you say you wanted to explain to the valley master?"
Zhang Jue looked at the valley master quietly, and he was very nervous.
This as if he saw the appearance of the goddess he liked made Zhao Dongting want to laugh.
Since the valley master was sitting here, he knew that if Zhang Jue really had a reason, he might be able to resolve the misunderstanding with the valley master. Because if the valley master really wished that Zhang Jue would die, he would never sit here.
The Valley Master is actually a woman with a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart.
Le Chan looked at Zhang Jueqi Ai Ai and said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't we go there and sit there?"
"good."
Zhao Dongting nodded with a laughing smile, grabbed Zhang Ru and Lechan's hands without hesitation, got up and walked into the dormitory.
This made both women blush.
Zhang Ru was a little worried, and looked back for a few seconds. Seeing that her grandfather was already talking, she finally followed Zhao Dongting to the dormitory.
Sitting in the dormitory, Le Chan sighed, "I didn't expect that Lord Zhang is really the husband of Master."
Zhao Dongting has a rare gossip, "Le Chan, what's going on?"
Le Chan knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, so she would not hide it from it. She told Zhao Dongting and Zhang Ru in a casual manner.
I won't mention it here.
In the yard, Zhang Jue and the Valley Master sat opposite each other.
"Xiang'er..."
"If you dare to call me like that, I will kill you."
"I...I know you must have hated me for leaving you for the past few years. I...I owe you this. But I was helpless back then. Do you still remember the day I left home because of Buter's high fever. You ran to the city to buy medicinal materials in the middle of the night. In fact, after you left, someone broke into the house. It was not that I wanted to leave, but that I couldn't protect Buter and had to follow them."
"Hmph, do you think I will believe you if you say this?"
"Those people were masters of the martial arts world won over by the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty had not yet been established, and the Mongolian Prince Ogedei was blocked from attacking Tongchuan. He failed to break Tongchuan for several years, so he ordered the masters of the martial arts world to sneak into the city to assassinate our generals. Although I was just a commander of the army back then, it became their target. Several masters from the Zhongyuan realm besieged me and snatched the Butterfly who was still in their infancy. I had to choose to surrender. That was because I even thought that even if I switched to Mongolia, made minions and dogs for the Mongolians, I could not let any accidents happen to the Butterfly."
"What's going on with the letter?"
The Valley Master was still a little moved after all, and ripples appeared in his cold eyes.
Zhang Jue smiled bitterly, "I heard the noise outside the house and realized that something was wrong and left for you in a hurry. Otherwise, how could there be only a few words that would have been asked to return to the valley?"
The valley master slowly turned back and looked at Zhang Jue, "Then you put the letter under the pillow, because of this?"
"Um."
Zhang Jue sighed and nodded and said, "I'm afraid they will find out. It's a pity that you still hate me for so many years."
He continued, "Die'er and I were captured from Tongchuan to Chongqing by those experts in the martial arts world. We should have become Mongolian generals from then on. It was a blessing in disgrace. When we were about to enter the city, we met the Jun Tianfangjun brothers who were traveling in Shu and tempering. He was a righteous man in the martial arts world. When he saw me in rags and being bullied by those Mongolian minions, he rescued me and Die'er. Then, he protected me and Die'er back to Tongchuan. But... when I got home, I only saw..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jue's emotions became a little excited, his eyes flushed, "Since then, I hated Mongolia to death! I told myself that if I never destroyed Mongolia in this life, I, Zhang Jue, became a man in vain. I entrusted Die'er to Brother Jun to take care of me, and returned to the army to fight with the Mongolian cavalry, and finally repelled the Ogedei army! I gradually gained more military power in the army. By the sixth year of Baoyou, Mongolian Khan Mengge once again led a large army to attack Chongqing Prefecture, so I took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Chongqing to assist the then Chongqing Prefecture governor to resist the Mongolian soldiers. After countless bloody battles, Mengge finally made Mengge hate under Diaoyu City."
The valley master's eyes were slightly red again.
Zhang Jue fell into memories and recalled his daughter again. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since then, I settled in Chongqing Prefecture. Die'er has grown up and has been together with me for a long time, but very close. This girl is probably because she is not by her mother, and she rarely talks to outsiders. I saw that she is already graceful and beautiful as you, and she almost turned white. As soon as the battle ended, she was busy arranging marriage for Die'er, but she refused them all. It was also later when Brother Jun told me that I realized that Die'er had developed a good impression of a book while traveling with him."
His smile became stronger and stronger, "I was busy sending someone to find the scholar, and I realized that the scholar's family was poor and said that the family was barren. But I didn't care. As long as Die'er liked it, my Zhang family would not have to go up to the family, so I let the scholar marry into our Zhang family. In this way, Die'er and Huang Kuo became close. The two were really loving. Seeing Die'er's smiles increasing day by day, I felt relieved. But whenever I think of you, I felt guilty and regretful. I don't want to believe that you are really dead. Please ask many people to inquire about you, but there is no news. If I don't believe it, I can only accept reality."
Zhang Jue's smile gradually became bitter again, "Die'er is a child with little life. Perhaps because I killed too much in my life, it was implicated in her. After raising Ru'er with Huang Ke, my body bones became thinner and thinner. I was helpless when I hired famous doctors. Within a few years, Die'er left. Huang Ke's child was also a seed of bitterness. After Die'er passed away, he threw Ru'er and threw him into the river. At that time, I really wanted to die. Without you, Die'er, I really had no fun in life. But I dare not die, I was afraid that I would die, and there was no one to take care of Ru'er. Die'er was dysfunctional when she gave birth, which made her unable to speak when she was born. I was afraid that if I left, she would not be close to her."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jue suddenly covered his face.
The dignified man, the powerful deputy military officer of the Song Dynasty, leaned on the table and cried bitterly, and burst into tears.
The valley master also cried, "I... am I really wrong about you?"
Zhang Jue said in a crying voice, "No. I haven't found you for decades. It's up to me. I just hate myself for not protecting this home at the beginning."
The valley master hesitated for a long time and planned to put his hand on Zhang Jue's head, but in the end he fell on his shoulder, "I blamed you wrongly. I blamed you wrongly."
Her voice was also choked, "I never thought that you have endured so much over the years. I... I should go down the mountain to find you. How could I hide it in such a way and make you think I am dead! I shouldn't have used this way to make you feel guilty for me for decades..."
Her tears wet her clothes, "It's just...it's just a bitter butterfly..."
Afterwards, both of them burst into tears.
In the dormitory.
Le Chan also finished the story of the Valley Lord and Zhang Jue.
All three of them looked out the house.
Looking at the crying Valley Master and Zhang Jue, he looked moved and did not go out to disturb him.
