To the east of the east, a continent stands proudly on its own from the vast ocean. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The ruler of this continent, Loulan State, has led the people of the entire continent to spend seven years of prosperity after unifying the war-torn continent seven years ago.

Now, no one can even remember how desperate the three years of war seven years ago were, and even if three or two people casually mentioned the three years like an abyss in the afternoon chatter, people were silent for a moment, and then laughed and laughed.

-- There will never be a day like that, a hellish day.

Time passes, things are not people. The king who created the prosperous world of Loulan, Loulan Lingfeng, the king of Loulan Guozun, was already a dying old man in the seventh year since Loulan unified the continent. He lay on the couch all day long, gradually leaving the good situation, and hung himself with medicine for a hundred days.

After the spring passed, the old king really felt that he didn't have many days, so in the early summer, he passed the king to the prince of Loulan, Loulan Zhen.

The people of all continents were saddened when they learned that the old king was leaving, and people could be seen praying for the old king in Taoist temples and temples from time to time. Finally, the day came.

Early in the morning, the old king sent someone to announce that the new king would come to the palace.

Loulan Zhen accepted the order to go to the hall, and after pushing the door open, she saw her pale father, and her heart was full of sourness. He walked to the old king's couch in three steps and two steps, and knelt down with a plop: "Father-"

The old king looked at his eldest son, pulled out a kind smile vigorously, and said weakly: "Good boy, the vision of the deity is right, Zhen'er will definitely inherit the great cause。。。。。。 ”

Loulan Zhen shook his head, and opened his mouth to say something, but the old king interrupted him. "Zhen'er。。。。。 Listen, the deity has little time left, and there are two things to tell you. ”

The young king stood up solemnly and listened intently. "First。。。。。。 My Loulan country can have today, and the continent can have today, most of it depends on the Yufeng Holy Master。。。。。。 Zhen'er, remember that in the future, no matter what, you must keep the Holy Master very safe, and always respect the Holy Master as if it were a Buddha-figure。。。。。。 Yufeng Holy Master is my Loulan's talisman, do you understand?"

The old king's voice became weaker and weaker, and he gasped more and more fiercely word by word. Loulan really agreed solemnly as if she had received the supreme holy decree: "Son, keep it in mind!"

"And 。。。。。。 "The old king used his last strength to tell Loulan Zhen a story.

Seventeen years ago, there were more than 50 countries on the continent, and Loulan was only one of the many countries.

At that time, the overall situation on the continent was relatively peaceful, but there were many hidden dangers. That year, the queen gave birth to a little princess, named Lou Lancong. Loulan was really eight years old at the time.

On the day Princess Cong was born, the queen suffered severe pain for six hours, and her lower body was bleeding nonstop. Secondly, it is said that throughout the production process, the sky has been covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, which is very terrifying.

The strange thing is that the moment Princess Cong croaks to the ground, the dark clouds outside the window disperse at an extremely fast speed, and the gloomy thunderstorm day turns into a sunny day in a moment. And the queen's severe pain suddenly disappeared, and the blood inexplicably stopped automatically.

The old king was very happy, thinking that the arrival of this little princess was a good omen, and he was about to announce his new beloved daughter to the world, but the holy master of Loulan country, Yu Feng, rushed over to stop the old king.

The Holy Master said, this princess Loulan is born with extraordinary people. He calculated that the baby girl born in that place at that moment on that day was a two-life girl who saw her once in 800 years. There is a huge power in her life, which is greater than the power of a country's life, if the princess is left behind, her aura will be contrary to the great array laid out by the Holy Master for the Loulan Kingdom, then the Loulan Kingdom is very likely to be unable to become the future overlord of the continent.

At that time, the old king was young and vigorous, ambitious and enthusiastic, and he longed for his country to become stronger and stronger. So after pondering, he decided to focus on the overall situation and send Princess Cong out of the palace for the time being. After the Loulan Kingdom unifies the continent, he will take the princess back.

So at that time, the old king and queen tearfully announced to the whole country that Princess Cong died at birth.

It is not appropriate for the King and Queen of Yufeng Holy Master Daozun to meet with Princess Cong, what will the aura between that kind of blood relationship bring, it is difficult for the Holy Master himself to predict, in short, only in this way can everything be on the right track. So in the days to come, King Lao Zun would send some money to the family that raised Princess Cong every year, or luxurious clothes that girls liked, or fun things.

However, in the first year of the outbreak of the war, the old king suddenly lost contact with the family that raised Princess Cong, and the little princess evaporated from the world.

To this day, this has always been a secret in the heart of the old king, a secret of guilt, and he always feels sorry for this child。。。。。。

Loulan Zhen still knelt in front of the bed, and after listening to this story, she didn't say a word, and her face was surprised.

"So, really。。。。。。 The deity wants to 。。。。。。 I hope you can find your sister and take her home。。。。。 Regardless of whether she is alive or dead now, she must 。。。。。 I'm going to look for 。。。。。。 too The deity was very uncomfortable when he thought of what this child might encounter in the war, and we owe her too much in Loulan。。。。。。 ”

Loulan really took a long breath, a crystal flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Father, please rest assured, Zhen'er will definitely help you fulfill this wish." ”

I don't know if Loulan really responded, whether the old king heard it.

"We owe her too much in Loulan Kingdom", was the last sentence that the old king said in this world.

=======================================================================

Dongcheng Gu Mansion is solemn and solemn.

On this day, it is the annual ancestor worship ceremony of Gu Mansion.

Master Gu and Mrs. Gu led the children of the Gu family to kneel in the clan hall to complete the ancestor worship ceremony.

There are not too many decorations in the whole clan hall, but the seven portraits hanging on the wall are particularly conspicuous, and the old man in each portrait is inexplicably awe-inspiring.

Master Gu knelt in the center of the clan hall with a seven-pillar incense in his hand, his gaze swept over each portrait in turn, and then said in a deep voice: "I, Gu Yunwen and the fourth son of the Gu family, did not disappoint the ancestors and ancestors. We are still doing our best to lay the foundation laid by our ancestors, and the reputation of my Gujia jewelry will become louder and louder. I hope that the ancestors of the underground can be relieved and relieved. ”

After saying this, his eyes fixed on the portrait of his father, pondered for a long time, and after a moment he got up and offered incense to each of his ancestors.

The Gu family is a family of jewelers with a long history, and since the continent was still a wild land without order, the ancestors of the Gu family began to establish the Gu family on this land. Later, the Loulan Kingdom was established, and the Gu family became a source of jewelry for the emperor.

Whether it is the jade worn by the king in the palace, or the jewels on the ears of the hairpins on the heads of the concubines in the palace, they all originated from the Gu family's factory and have been until now. Now that Loulan is the master of the continent, the status of the Gu family is also extremely high.

Gu Wanyan knelt in the last row, only listening to the old man's speech with her ears pricked up, and she didn't dare to raise her head. She had been in the Gu Mansion for nine years, but this was the first time she had been allowed to enter the Gu Family Hall to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.

It stands to reason that a person who is not related by blood to the Gu family is not allowed to enter the clan hall to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, but Mrs. Gu still insisted on letting her worship her ancestors with the children of the Gu family this year. Gu Wanyan knew in her heart that Mrs. Gu had long regarded herself as her daughter, and now this move showed Mrs. Gu's deep trust in her. Gu Wanyan was very grateful, in addition to being grateful, she was still grateful. She was even more determined to repay her wife and the Gu family for their kindness in taking her in and raising her.

About half an hour later, the ceremony in the clan hall was completed, and Master Gu pushed open the door of the clan hall and said to the housekeeper outside the door: "Old Fang, go down and give instructions, you can go up the mountain." ”

An important step in the ancestor worship ceremony is to go up the mountain to worship the ancestors, and the ancestral tomb of the Gu family is on the top of the South Mountain in Dongcheng.

The old lady of the Gu Mansion, the young lady of the son, and many family maids and maids went up the mountain at noon, and when they went down the mountain and returned to the Gu Mansion, the moon was hanging in the sky for some time.

Gu Wanyan said goodbye to everyone and went back to the room early.

As soon as she got back to her room, she lay on the bed, not wanting to move.

Although she followed the previous ancestor worship ceremonies up the mountain, she only helped out, most of them stood with the family members on the side, carrying things or something. But now she knelt and got up and knelt again, bowed and kowtowed and kowtowed, which was really tiring.

Just as Gu Wanyan was about to fall asleep, a knock on the door suddenly woke her up.

She rubbed her head, got up and walked over to open the door, it was Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue is the insider of Steward Fang, Steward Fang usually takes care of the big and small affairs of the Gu Mansion, and Aunt Xue is responsible for serving Madame.

"Aunt Xue, what's the matter, is there something wrong?" Gu Wanyan smiled, opened all the doors, and invited Aunt Xue to come in and sit.

"Look at how tired you look, you're tired now. Aunt Xue said jokingly.

Gu Wanyan smiled embarrassedly, acquiescing in her tiredness.

"Go wash your face and wake up, Madame still has some things to do with Miss Six. Aunt Xue said as she pushed Gu Wanyan to the edge of the copper basin on the side of the wall.

Gu Wanyan washed her face and combed her hair briefly, and then went to Dongyuan to find her wife.

The people in the Manchu Mansion were all tired after the ancestor worship ceremony, and Gu Wanyan walked all the way to the East Garden, only to see some people coming and going.

Mrs. Dongyuan's room was bright, Gu Wanyan fell in front of the door and cleared her throat: "Madam, Wanyan is here." ”

The voice of the lady was not heard, but the door was opened.

In the past, it was a subordinate who opened the door, but this time when she saw that it was Mrs., Gu Wanyan was a little surprised, and then the corners of her mouth rose and said, "Mrs. let me in, why bother to open the door in person." ”

As she spoke, she carried Madame into the room, and then she found that there was no one in the room except Madame. So Gu Wanyan thought in her heart, could it be something important?

"Come, Wanyan, you sit. Madame walked to the table and sat down, holding Gu Wanyan's hand with both hands, and never put it down.

Gu Wanyan sat beside her lady, very close, she poured tea for her with her free hand, and then pushed a plate of pastries to her wife.

Madame looked at Gu Wanyan with a smile in her eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Gu Wanyan looked at the smile on his wife's face that never faded, and she couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong with Madam today, what's so happy, why don't you tell me about it?"

Madame shook her head and said, "Wanyan, you have been in the Gu Mansion for so many years, I really like you as a girl, what do you think of my Gu family's treatment of you?"

Hearing this, Gu Wanyan's expression became serious, she immediately held Madame's hand with both hands, and said sincerely: "Madam, you are my savior, if it weren't for you, I still don't know what it would be like." That year, my father and mother were killed by the enemy in the war, it was you who brought me back to the house when I was helpless, I was willing to change my surname to Gu, Wanyan This life, I have to repay my wife and my lord's great kindness to me. ”

Madame brushed Gu Wanyan's hair kindly: "I know that you are very filial, and I have long regarded you as my own daughter." But, after all, it's a daughter's family, and you will get married sooner or later, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay with me for the rest of your life. ”

Gu Wanyan immediately shook her head resolutely: "No! Wanyan is willing to follow Madame forever, serve the Gu family, and repay the kindness of the Gu family!"

Madame laughed twice: "That's not possible, such a beautiful and clever girl, I can't bear to leave you alone for the rest of your life." ”

Gu Wanyan lowered her head and smiled a little shyly, and said, "What are you doing now, even if there is a day, it's still early!"

After being silent for a long time, Madame suddenly spoke, her tone was solemn, not as good as a smile: "I have thought about these things many times, and now I have an idea, I want to ask Wanyan your opinion." ”

Gu Wanyan tilted her head: "What's the matter?"

Madame paused, "I think, if the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, it is good for Wanyan to stay in the Gu family as a daughter-in-law?"

Gu Wanyan didn't say anything for a while, she tried to sort out what the meaning of this sentence was, for fear that she would be wrong.

"I know it's a bit selfish," sighed Madame, "but I can't bear to let you go." ”

The Gu family has a total of four sons and one daughter, the eldest son Gu Ran, the second son Gu Mo, the third son Gu Yan, the fourth son Gu Zhang, and the fifth lady Gu Huan.

The old man of the Gu family only had two wives in his life, and the four sons were all born to his wife, while the fifth lady Gu Huan was born to a side room that had passed away at a young age.

Gu Huan has been perverse and flamboyant since he was a child, and after his mother passed away, he became even more arrogant and uninhibited, which was very unlikable to his wife.

Seeing that Gu Wanyan didn't speak for a long time, the brilliance in her eyes faded little by little, and she sighed heavily: "That's it, I can't force you, I haven't mentioned it, if Wanyan has fallen in love with the young master of which family, just come and tell me." ”

Gu Wanyan saw the disappointed look on her wife's face, and her heart was suddenly full of guilt.

Gu Wanyan, Gu Wanyan, your life was picked up by your wife, how can you have the face to make your wife sad for you? Didn't you secretly swear that you would spend your life to repay this thousand pounds of kindness?

"No, it's not。。。。。。 Gu Wanyan explained in a panic, "I'm not unwilling, don't be angry, madam。。。。。。 ”

After hearing this, Madam smiled slowly: "What did Wan Yan say in her heart?"

Gu Wanyan smiled sincerely: "Yes, what Wanyan said is from her heart, I don't want to leave Madame, I am willing to accompany Madame all the time." ”
