Chapter 238: The Cornerstone of Love Lies in Trust

As soon as Tang Sai'er left, seeing Zhang Yue chasing after him, Feng Yuanming couldn't help but sigh, and left the house with the curtain open. It was only at this time that Meng Minfang unconsciously let go of his hand, but he staggered and sat down on the chair, his heart full of horror. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect has been banned, and this young woman who seems to be only a few years older than herself is actually the contemporary leader of the White Lotus Sect? It's ridiculous that she even tried to persuade people not to believe in that cult......

The woman who stood proudly and spoke sharply also left a deep shock on Du Juan. She played chess with the monk Daoyan for several months, and people said that the old monk was confused, and a copy of "Daoyulu" slandered countless Confucian predecessors, but after all, it was just slandering the sages. However, Tang Sai'er's words completely subverted the Confucian monarchs and ministers, and the kind of unscrupulous and arrogant words made people feel even more palpitating.

As a weak female streamer who dares to oppose such a world, who calls herself a thief but has no fear, although it must be an egg hitting a stone, although she knows that after the chaos is set off, there must be a river of blood, but that woman is really unusual.

One regrets, one palpitations, but the third reacts very differently. Amber glanced at Du Juan and Meng Min, and suddenly quietly walked out of the room. Separated by a curtain, the room is gloomy and deserted, and the red sun is shining outside, and the warm spring breeze is blowing, with a little fragrance of new leaves and spring flowers in the middle. The sound of children reading in the east wing went straight into people's ears, in addition to the rustling of sweeping the floor, the clashing of pots and pans in the kitchen, and countless indescribable sounds. However, compared to this good weather, her heart is full of gloom.

"Amber, do you want to go back?"

Slightly stunned, Amber saw Red Sleeves come forward with a smile, and looking at the expression, she should not know what had just happened. She has never been talkative, and immediately forced a smile: "Sister Lingxi has something to go out, and Sister Qiuzhen is not happy, so I naturally have to go back quickly." By the way, can you see my young master? ”

"You mean Young Master Yue?" Red Sleeves immediately pouted angrily and said, "As soon as the girl left, he rushed out in a hurry, and when he went outside, he met with a few entourages and muttered, and then went out, about to the palace." Oops, he just said let me vacate the house, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to hurry up and do something, otherwise he will be more fierce than Miss! ”

Seeing that the red sleeves said hello, he hurriedly ran away, and Amber had no intention of staying longer, so he hurriedly carried the food box from the back door of Chunshui Street into the back office of the palace. Along the sandwich road into a small door in the southwest, that is Zhang Yue's office, she casually handed the food box to the Cui family, and then turned into her own room. At this time, she felt her knees go limp, and staggered to the edge of the bed and sat down.

That woman turned out to be the White Lotus Sect Master! If she hadn't guessed wrong, the bearded man who should have been her cousin should have been the White Lotus Sect all the way now. What exactly does he want to do? It must be known that the officials and thieves do not share the sky, can they still expect the White Lotus Sect to sweep the world?

Although his first reaction was to send all the men he could to chase after Tang Sai'er, and then he thought of closing the gate of Qingzhou City and filling the city, Zhang Yue, who had calmed down, had to dispel this very tempting idea. Not to mention the huge shock caused by the blockade of the city gates, it was a period of time to ask for instructions and give orders, which was enough to make people flee; And since Tang Sai'er dared to enter the city, he must have something to rely on; Another extremely important point was how he could explain that the White Lotus Sect Leader had actually run away to the Meng family?

So, he personally went to Meng's house and told Meng Min and Du Juan not to spread today's affairs, and after he returned to the mansion, he immediately painted an image in detail, and sent Hu Qi to Jinyiwei to give it to Mu Ning. After this deed, he heard that Ling Hua had summoned all his subordinates to discuss, so he rushed over. I thought that I would have to endure hardships again in the front and enjoy in the back, however, this time Ling Hua just glanced at it meaningfully, and then shook off some words lightly.

"Le'an's affairs are presided over by Zhao Cao's two officials, after all, you are in charge of the criminal name, plus Jia Tong's assistance is enough, even if it is not found out that you really want to be dismissed from office after ten days, it is a matter for everyone to bear together, and everyone in the yamen can't pounce on this matter. Yuan Festival, now you have a good reputation among the people, after all, in another ten or twenty days, you will be busy collecting grain in the summer, and the matter of soothing the people and reassuring the people will be handed over to you. We can't put the cart before the horse, the people's peace of mind is the most important thing, and it is only right to appease the people while investigating the case. Otherwise, if there is a case after another case, it will be even worse in the end. ”

The prefect Linghua was originally just a general judge in the government, and the affairs under his jurisdiction were also insignificant, and the sudden promotion to the prefect also caused major controversy, however, after getting along for a long time, Zhang Yue felt that this was an ideal boss. Although Ling Hua also has the inevitable nature of climbing up, he has done an extremely good job in delegating power, and the rights and obligations of all subordinate officials are far greater than the money issued by the imperial court, and more importantly, people are willing to shoulder the responsibilities that need to be shouldered.

Therefore, as a good boss who can't be found with a lantern, even if Ling Hua is not even a real Jinshi, he still has a good reputation among his subordinates, and today's deliberations end with a perfect ending that everyone is happy and convinced.

Because he was tossed and walked for at least two hours in Le'an during the day, when the sun set, after all the subordinate officials walked out of the lobby, they all complained a few times, and Zhang Yue was frightened after he came back, and he felt a sore back. Passing through a small door on the west side of the lobby and turning into the sandwich road, when he entered the door of his house, Zhang Yue already felt that his legs were filled with lead, and when he entered the west house of the main house, he climbed on the kang with difficulty, and then turned his neck up and down for a while, and then moved the chair back and pillow to the wall to lean, eager to fall asleep.

At this time, Lingxi happened to come in with a paulownia wood strip plate, and when he saw Zhang Yue looking so tired, he hurriedly called: "Young master, you are tired of rushing here today, so the kitchen simply made a bowl of knife-cut noodles, and put some old vinegar in it, which is very appetizing, you quickly soak your feet after eating, and go to bed early today." ”

Zhang Yue glanced at the bowl of noodles served on the kang table, and saw that the snow-white knife-cut noodles were piled with diced meat and minced green garlic, and the sour aroma of aged vinegar in the clear soup rushed to his brain, and he finally had some appetite. He was not in a hurry to eat noodles, but first drank a mouthful of soup, the taste of old vinegar was strong after all, he was quite energetic and finished eating noodles by dividing five by two, put down the bowl and asked: "Qiu Zhen is not happy today, Amber is not here, I saw her in the afternoon is fine." ”

She ...... "Although she didn't like to talk about other people's affairs behind her back, Lingxi hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "She has been stuffy in the house since she came back from the Meng family and has never come out, and the slave has come back to see her, she looks a little wrong, as if she has cried, and she refuses to say anything when she asks her how she is, and she refuses to eat dinner, and she doesn't know what's going on." ”

Amber actually cried?

Even if he was frightened by Tang Sai'er's sudden appearance today, it shouldn't be such a reaction! Zhang Yue instinctively felt that something was wrong, compared with the cheerful and grinning autumn marks, Amber was silent, and even if she had her heart, she rarely showed it, what was going on this time? At that moment, he didn't look at the tea that he had brought up and drank after eating, jumped off the kang and put on his shoes, and walked to the east ear room.

Although it was night, there was no light in the room, so Zhang Yue instinctively frowned after stepping into the threshold. Suddenly coming here from the bright main room, his eyes were very unaccustomed, and he squinted for a long time before he could see that there seemed to be a figure sitting on the bed against the wall. He opened his mouth and screamed, and when he saw that there was no movement, he stepped forward, and as he was about to approach the bed, his leg did not know what he had tripped, followed by a thud.

Suddenly, the figure on the bed jumped down with unimaginable agility, and shouted anxiously, "Young master, it's okay!" ”

"It's fine."

It wasn't Zhang Yue who slammed to the ground, but a stool that didn't know how to lay across the bed not far from the bed, and he just stumbled slightly. However, he still grabbed the hand that Amber had handed him, and carefully moved a few steps forward before he finally reached the edge of the bed and sat down.

"Lingxi said that after you came back from the Meng family in the afternoon, you didn't look right, and you didn't eat dinner. What's going on? ”

"Young Master, do you believe in your fate?"

Hearing this headless and brainless rather abrupt sentence, Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "I believe in fate, but I don't believe in fate either." If it weren't for fate, I wouldn't have been born in this world, let alone meet these people around me now. A person's life experience and most of his or her chances are predestined and cannot be changed, so I believe that many things are due to fate. ”

However, if a person only believes in destiny in this life, then it will not work. Man's determination to conquer the sky is just a rhetoric, but if you don't do anything, how do you know that you must not be able to reverse the established trajectory of fate? For example, if I am confused, I will always be a sick child in the medicine jar that I am looked down upon all my life, and my grandmother will not look at me more, and my British grandfather will not remember me as my own nephew, let alone others. So all I can say is that this life is half to half, half is irresistible to you, and half is something you can change. ”

"Can the number of lives really change?"

"If you don't give it a try, how will you know?"

Hearing this voice that exuded infinite confidence, Amber was stunned for a moment, and then whispered, "The young master has always asked me why I have such a heavy heart. I've always wanted to say it, but I've never dared to say it. Because of this incident, I slept lightly at night, and I didn't dare to talk much during the day, for fear that a wrong word would cause a big disaster. It doesn't matter if I'm alone, but I can't take others and ......."

"You can't bring your family with you, can you?" Zhang Yue felt the hand in his palm tremble, and turned over slightly. In the darkness, he could vaguely see Amber's face, the rest of his facial features were dim, and he could only see those eyes, "Last time you were seriously ill, you used to talk in your dreams, so I guessed it." In the past, the Qi Guogong Qiu family won the title and migrated to Hainan, and you were managed to stay by your family because of a serious illness, am I right? ”

"It turns out that the young master knows all about ......"

The biggest secret in her heart was exposed like this, and Amber felt not a sense of relief, but an inexplicable loss and ridiculousness. When she first arrived at the British Mansion, she was on guard almost day and night, but Zhang Fu didn't recognize her at all, and Mrs. Wang looked at her cautiously and sent her to Kaifeng with the others. After serving Zhang Yue for seven years, she was worried day and night, in fact, she should have known that sooner or later all this would be impossible to hide.

"Today is the first time I've seen that Tang Sect Master, and her identity has nothing to do with me, but the cousin I met before, he has a handmade silk on him that is exactly the same as that Tang Sect Master. That kind of needlework is not an ordinary craft, and it is extremely complicated to fight, so it should not be a coincidence. I was scared, I didn't know why he appeared in Shandong, I didn't know why he had a connection with the White Lotus Sect banned by the imperial court, and I didn't know what he was going to do? It was the crime of defeat in the past, but will it be added to the crime of rebellion in the future? ”

Feeling that Amber seemed to fall into a manic agitation, Zhang Yue suddenly froze, knowing that the long-term depression would be extremely terrible once it broke out, and in a hurry, he hurriedly took her in his arms and gently patted her back. After a long time, Amber, who was trembling all over, finally quieted down in his arms, but rested her head gently on his shoulder.

"I've always been very envious of the young master and Sister Qiuji." Amber in the darkness sighed softly, and then whispered, "The young master has always been looking forward, and Sister Qiuzhen is like the shadow of the young master, never looking left or right. She often told me that she liked the young master very much, and often asked me if I also liked the young master, and often muttered what the young grandmother would be like in the future...... How would she know that I don't even know if I have a tomorrow, and what do I like? ”

"Everyone has a tomorrow, and of course you have too." Zhang Yue's hand gently stroked Amber's long hair as smooth as silk, and his heart was filled with a warm tenderness, "We have been together for seven years day and night, and we have been grinding our ears and temples for seven years, whether we like it or not, at least we are people who can be trusted by each other." Amber, you have to believe that tomorrow will be better than today! ”

Trust...... Amber only felt that this warm and reassuring word filled her whole heart, and she actually breathed a long sigh of relief. Since leaving her parents, she has never had the luxury of relying on others, and she has never had the luxury of any warm embrace, but today she can finally relax. She slowly stretched out her hand, hugged Zhang Yue's waist awkwardly, and then spit out a sentence.

"Can the young master tell me more about that donkey's ear?"

Hearing this absolutely unreasonable request, Zhang Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly - nephrite is warm and fragrant in his arms, and he is not the willow Hui who is not sitting still, telling stories in this situation is really the biggest torment in life. However, at this time, reflexively leave, where can he do it?

"Once upon a time there was a barber......

The silence of the room echoed with Zhang Yue's low voice, and the night was getting deeper.
