Chapter 18 Chang'an City(1/2)
Zhu Xiaozhou got the green jade hairpin from Old Uncle Zheng.
And Old Uncle Zheng is the green jade hairpin that was redeemed from Qiyun.
so--
The green jade hairpin was not sent to Qiyundang by Uncle Zheng, but was sent to Qiyundang by another person, until——
Zhu Xiaozhou's grandmother took Old Man Zheng's money and gave the green jade hairpin to Old Uncle Zheng.
At this time, the green jade hairpin came into the hands of Mr. Zheng.
Zhu Xiaozhou reacted——
After Uncle Zheng got the green jade hairpin, he unintentionally opened up the world sealed in this artifact. He was just a "spectator" in this world, not the protagonist.
Zhu Xiaozhou fell into a dream with the help of a green jade hairpin and came here.
When she opened her eyes, she was the famous queen——
According to Bai Yuan, her emotions and behavior at that time were all affected by the dream owner. She took on the identity of the dream owner and saw what had happened to the dream owner.
It's not something she can control herself.
Could it be that the owner of this dream is the queen?
Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Yuan suddenly knocked on the door.
Zhu Xiaozhou asked who it was, and after hearing Bai Yuan's voice, he opened the door with confidence.
Bai Yuan asked her if she had thought of anything that could be used as a clue.
"No." Zhu Xiaozhou's head almost exploded. "I have thought about all the possibilities. However, they all feel unreliable. If this pawn returns to Qiyundang for the second time, what remains of it?
The time barrier should still belong to the original owner—right?"
Bai Yuan thought for a moment and nodded.
This is the truth.
Zhu Xiaozhou asked, "What about the people who have gotten it?"
"Have you ever gotten it?" Bai Yuan didn't seem to understand what she meant.
"Suppose this pawn was pawned in Qiyun, but my grandmother sold it to another person. This person also opened the time in the pawn and came to this world."
Zhu Xiaozhou became energetic and described it carefully.
There is such a person, he is not the protagonist here, but he once appeared here.
Then, he should have left the same traces at the same time——
"You mean-" Bai Yuan seemed to understand that they might be able to find Mr. Zheng in the current time.
——Old man Zheng who also fell into a dream that year.
"Let's go!" Zhu Xiaozhou went out happily.
Walking on the streets of Chang'an City, what comes into view is the bustling beauty of this capital, and——
"It turns out that the scenes we see in this time are really different from those in later generations."
Zhu Xiaozhou sighed.
When she was young, she went to Xi'an with her grandmother, who left her behind to meet an old friend.
She went to visit the ruins of the ancient city alone and secretly touched the old city wall. Although the memory was profound, it was not at this moment——
Comparable.
When you are in Chang'an City 1,300 years ago, you will be filled with sighs when you look around.
No wonder, when Mr. Zheng first entered this place, he would be deeply impressed by it.
She now understood why Old Man Zheng regarded what he saw here as——
inspiration.
"It's amazing." Walking through the rows of shops on the street, Zhu Xiaozhou looked like an old man who came to the city for the first time, looking around stupidly, feeling that everything was new.
Bai Yuan crossed his arms and followed her, carefully observing her every move.
Perhaps, A Zhen was once such a simple happy——
"oops!"
Zhu Xiaozhou was suddenly bumped on the shoulder by an oncoming person, took half a step back, and blurted out.
Bai Yuan quickened his steps and stepped forward, raising his hands to protect the person behind him.
The man was holding something in his arms, lowered his head, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Looking up——
It's actually Mr. Zheng?!
"You are Zheng——" Zhu Xiaozhou was surprised, but he couldn't help but hesitate when the words came to his mouth.
Once her speculation was verified, she was a little excited.
Secondly, "Old Uncle Zheng" at this time was only about forty years old, so there was really no way to call him an old man.
"Do you recognize me?" "Old Uncle Zheng" was also surprised and looked around in panic.
It's like, I'm afraid of being discovered by someone.
He was just about to reach out and grab Zhu Xiaozhou to ask clearly.
But he was blocked by Bai Yuan!
Looking at Bai Yuan's extremely untouchable look, he felt frightened and could only ask cautiously, "You two, can you... take a step to speak?"
"Is it him?" Bai Yuan turned his head and confirmed with Zhu Xiaozhou.
Zhu Xiaozhou nodded.
This is the person she is looking for. Unexpectedly -
Delivered to your door yourself.
The two followed "Old Uncle Zheng" to the corner. "Old Uncle Zheng" confirmed again and again that no one was following him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you? Why do you recognize me?"
"Old Uncle Zheng" was very nervous, as if his identity had been discovered, which made him worried for no reason.
"Are you still holding the green jade hairpin?" Zhu Xiaozhou couldn't wait.
If you can find the green jade hairpin, you can leave here.
"How do you know about the green jade hairpin?"
"Old Uncle Zheng" was even more panicked now.
The two people who suddenly appeared in front of him not only knew his identity, but also knew that he had a green jade hairpin in his hand.
I'm afraid that the one who comes is not good.
"I am -" Zhu Xiaozhou thought carefully, "Do you still remember that you went to Qiyundang not long ago and looked for someone?"
This sentence awakened the memory of "Old Uncle Zheng".
"That's right. I went looking for it..."
"I am the person you are looking for." Zhu Xiaozhou said.
It can be seen with the naked eye how horrified "Old Uncle Zheng's" expression became in an instant. "You, how is this possible?"
"You can get here with a hairpin, nothing is impossible."
Zhu Xiaozhou looked helplessly at Bai Yuan.
However, Bai Yuan had no intention of intervening.
She explained to "Old Uncle Zheng" with difficulty that during her two time travels, she saved his great-great-grandfather the first time, and then he found Qi Yundang to repay his kindness.
"Old Uncle Zheng" came to Qiyun to look for Zhu Xiaozhou. At that time, Zhu Xiaozhou was just a baby held in his grandmother's arms.
He returned the money to Zhu Xiaozhou's grandmother, but Zhu Xiaozhou's grandmother handed him a pawn.
Then, "Old Uncle Zheng" came to this world with the help of the green jade hairpin.
How could I expect to be here——
I met Zhu Xiaozhou, who had also come here twenty years later.
"Old Uncle Zheng's" brain was almost burning, and he could barely figure out the relationship here.
"So, it was me who returned to Qiyundang and handed over the green jade hairpin to you?"
Zhu Xiaozhou nodded happily, which was considered a clear explanation.
But he saw "Old Uncle Zheng" with a look of disbelief on his face, "But the green jade hairpin is no longer in my hand -"
"......What did you say?!"
