Chapter 143 Lu Zigang
But Zhao Shouzheng and the eldest princess escaped from the younger generation's sight under the cover of Zhao Hao and someone.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. The two of them hurriedly left the temple market, called a carriage, and came to the Houhai several miles away, and then they dared to take off their black and white impermanence mask.
At this time, there were few pedestrians by the Houhai River and were extremely quiet. The frozen lake surface flashed with colorful luster under the winter sunlight.
The two of them strolled in this beautiful scenery that belonged to them, and their mood gradually relaxed.
Then he looked at each other and smiled, and was very excited about the ridiculous actions he had just made.
"That boy seems to have seen us." The eldest princess said softly with embarrassment.
"I must have seen it." Zhao Shouzheng nodded and said, "Otherwise, why did he shout loudly? Isn't it just to attract the attention of those children and remind us to leave quickly?"
"Who gave us this face?" The eldest princess looked at the Bai Wuchang mask that appeared in time in his hand and couldn't help but feel grateful. This thing helped a lot.
"It should be my book boy..." Zhao Shouzheng said with some uncertainty.
"Do you still have a book boy?" The eldest princess widened her eyes.
"Yes, follow us all the time today." Zhao Shouzheng looked around and found no trace of Fang Wen. He smiled awkwardly: "That child is elusive, and I often forget that there is such a person. Otherwise, he would have sent him away long ago..."
"But it's also wrong, but it's wrong." The eldest princess smiled and thanked the unknown hero.
As the two of them were talking, they came to the Yinding Bridge without realizing it.
The eldest princess stood firm, looked at the exquisite arch bridge like silver ingots in front of her, and fell into memories: "Do you still remember this place?"
"Of course I remember that we met Lu Zigang here."
"Yes, I asked him to carve that pair of jade pendants for us." The eldest princess said quietly.
"I didn't know he was so famous at that time, and I thought he wanted too expensive." Thinking of the situation at that time, Zhao Shouzheng also looked depressed: "I just thought that from now on, I always have to leave a thought, and then I took out all the last copper plate on my body and owed him four hundred yuan."
"Hahaha..." An old laughter rang out from the bridge, and an old man with gray hair walked from the other end of the bridge with his hands behind his back and said, "Then let's pay back the account today."
The two of them looked in the sound and couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't the old man the one who met Lu Zigang sixteen years ago, now a jade carving master who is famous all over the world?
"Master Lu, aren't you in Suzhou? Why are you back to the capital?" Zhao Shouzheng was very surprised.
"Can you go back to the capital, can't I?" Lu Zigang said with a smile.
"Brother, Master Lu was summoned to Beijing by my emperor brother and carved jade for him." The eldest princess explained to Zhao Shouzheng in a low voice. However, as Lu Zigang's identity, she could not see the tall princess, so she also greeted her openly. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Master Lu would still remember us."
The eldest princess was also full of joy when she met an old friend who had witnessed the relationship between the two.
"I remember every jade pendant I have made clearly." Lu Zigang stroked his gray beard with his rough right hand:
"But I don't remember many people who are looking for me to make jade pendants."
"Then why do you remember me?" the eldest princess asked curiously.
"That's because..." Lu Zigang pondered for a moment: "I saw my past from you, and I was naturally impressed."
"Oh?" The two looked at the old man in surprise, but they didn't expect that he was also a passionate person.
"Thirty years ago, when I was talking about marriage with my childhood sweetheart, she was suddenly selected into the palace. From then on, the world was separated and I could never meet again..." Then Lu Zigang said slowly: "That is, from then on, I stubbornly engraved my name on the jade we made. I just hope that one day, my jade can flow into the palace and be seen by her. I know that I am still waiting for her..."
"Have you been waiting?" The eldest princess was filled with compassion.
Lu Zigang shook his head slowly.
"What is her name? I may be able to find it for you." The eldest princess asked again. As long as the person is still in the palace, she can help you pick it up with just one word.
"It's no longer alive." Lu Zigang sighed dejectedly, and a turbid teardrop rolled out of the corner of his eyes and said, "The reason why I was ordered to enter the capital this time was to know whether she would return to the palace. As a result, I asked Eunuch Chen, who was in the Imperial Prison, to check the list, and only then did I know that when she entered the palace, she was involved in a palace change and died... "
"Ah..." The eldest princess took a step back and her delicate body shook. She knew that the palace change that Lu Zigang mentioned was probably the Renyin Palace change that made her mother lose her life.
Zhao Shouzheng quickly supported Ning An, held her shoulders tightly, and gave her the power to rely on.
"Sorry, the great days make you uncomfortable." Lu Zigang exhaled the turbid air, turned to look at the two people who were snuggling each other, and said in jealousy:
"It's so good. I thought that when you parted, you will never see each other again in this life."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's head was pressed tightly against Zhao Shouzheng's shoulder. Zhao Shouzheng's face immediately seemed to be burning, but he did not let go of his hand.
"By the way, are the jade pendant still there?" Lu Zigang asked again: "I remember you said, 'Jade is divided by people, and people are combined with jade'. I will help you, and then put the jade together!"
"It's still here." The eldest princess took out the half-moon-shaped jade pendant with body temperature from her arms.
"..." Zhao Shouzheng was silent for a while, let go of the eldest princess, and then took out his other half of the jade pendant.
"Here I am."
When the eldest princess saw the jade pendant engraved with the words "Ning'an", her phoenix eyes immediately burst into tears. She couldn't help but be happy and angry, and she wanted to bite him.
Zhao Shouzheng smiled embarrassedly and couldn't speak.
If I hadn't met Lu Zigang today, he would have felt the will of heaven, I would have probably not taken it out.
Lu Zigang took the jade pendant from the two of them and slowly formed a pair. Looking at the words "Shouzheng" and "Ning'an", he nodded with relief and said with a smile: "Three days later, go to the Fire God Temple to get it."
"Thank you, Master!" The eldest princess was very happy and bowed down and bowed.
"Thank you, thank you." Zhao Shouzheng seemed to have accepted his fate.
"No thank you, no, you must keep doing this..." Lu Zigang waved his hand and said goodbye to the two of them with a smile.
~~
After they separated from Lu Zigang, the two of them held hands and continued to walk deep into the back sea.
"Didn't you say you lost it? Dead..." The eldest princess twisted Zhao Shouzheng's ear.
"It hurts..." Zhao Shouzheng grinned, but the explanation given was exactly the same as the one that the princess had made up for.
"I was so confused at that time. Thinking of your current identity, I was afraid that I would ruin your reputation..."
"What about you now?"
"I met Lu Zigang and listened to his story. Since God wants us to meet again, let's follow God's arrangement." Zhao Shouzheng tightly held the eldest princess's soft little hand.
"You stupid Zhao Lang, is Ning An such an ignorant person?" Princess Ning An snuggled in his arms and said softly: "My identity is here, and I am destined to be unable to be open to you. As long as you can meet and talk to me frequently like before, I will be content..."
"Ning'an..." Zhao Shouzheng finally plucked up the courage and hugged her in his arms.
