"Jasmine, it's been a hard journey!" Song Shaohui looked at Tian Hua, his eyes were full of soft light, just like the eldest brother cared about his younger sister. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you Brother Song for your concern!" Tian Hua's face was full of sincerity and gratitude.

Song Shaohui: "Don't be polite to me, I've already asked people to prepare hot water and go to the shower and change clothes first." Then have a meal, get a good night's sleep, and I'll take you to your mother and grandfather early tomorrow morning!" โ€

Tian Hua looked up at the sky, it was already about three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was really inappropriate to go to the Liang family today. just nodded: "Okay, just listen to Brother Song!" โ€

Song Shaohui arranged it very thoughtfully and intimately.

It's a terrible cold, and now it's late spring, and the snow and ice in the mountains have completely melted. The water in the river is still cold, just like February in the capital. Bathing in such weather, people who are tired from the journey, and people whose body bones are not so strong, are definitely going to get sick.

In the huge bathroom, there are two charcoal basins, but there is no need to worry about poisoning, because this bathroom has a little leakage. I don't know where the wind came from, but it wasn't loud, but it was enough to expel the exhaust gases from the charcoal basin.

Tian Hua felt it, and the temperature in the bathroom was about twelve or thirteen degrees at this time.

The tub looks brand new, one meter high and wide. Next to the bath bucket, there are also two wooden barrels, one cold and one hot.

I took a comfortable bath, and I didn't dare to rub it for too long, and it took about fifteen minutes to wash my hair and take a shower. Wipe your hair half-dry with a large dry cotton towel, and then dare to go out of the bathroom, so as not to catch a cold, then it will be troublesome.

The charcoal basin in the hall has been added with wood, and it is burning vigorously.

Song Shaohui glanced at her long hair and hurriedly beckoned: "Hurry up and come over and roast your hair, be careful of catching a cold!" โ€

"Okay." Tian Hua sat on the small bench next to the brazier and smiled brightly at Song Shaohui, unable not to be moved.

Before that, she was still on guard against him, and it didn't seem that there was much need. Observe it again, and let your guard down! Try to believe in a person, there is no need to be a soldier because of those wicked people, and even people dare not believe it!

Looking at this little girl who was not yet thirteen years old, Song Shaohui only felt that his heartstrings were inexplicable, as if he had been plucked. Immediately, he couldn't help but mock himself secretly: How is it possible? Jasmine was still a child, a full ten years younger than him, how could he be tempted by a little girl?

However, having said that, Jasmine is indeed very nice and is a very cute little girl. If he was five or six years younger, he could have thought about it. It's a pity that the age difference is too big for the two to be suitable.

He was forced to marry by his maternal grandfather for many years.

Because, his position as the son of the world was targeted by his stepmother. That position, the stepmother wants to leave to her biological son, that is, his third brother Song Shaorong. If he fails to give birth to a son-in-law before the age of thirty, the position of the son will most likely be taken away.

Three years later, when the chaos in the capital has passed, he will return to the capital. At that time, getting married would definitely not be able to escape, and before that, maybe the family would have set a family affair for him. Three years later, Jasmine is only sixteen years old, and if she has a child, she is still too young.

Women of the dynasty generally do not marry until they reach the age of eighteen, which is said to be beneficial to childbirth. The child's intelligence and body will generally be better, and the probability of the child's mother having a difficult birth will be lower, which can avoid a large number of women from seriously injuring their bodies and bones during childbirth.

This proposal was made by an old doctor more than 100 years ago. At the beginning, the queen mother in the palace thought deeply of this, so she tried her best to promote the revision of the law, changing the legal age of a woman's marriage to eighteen years old.

In this regard, Tian Hua couldn't help but sigh: the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. The old miracle doctor, she also argued, is definitely not a traverser, it should be a native of this era.

It's a pity that cousins get married, and this huge bad habit still exists. One day, she has a certain status in this society, and she must call on the world to avoid blood marriages within five generations and eugenics.

The next day, at lunchtime, Tian Hua finally met his relatives.

Mother Liang Lili was cleaning up the courtyard, and when she saw her daughter, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Jasmine, my daughter, you, why did you come here?!" It's freezing on this day, the mountains and rivers are far away, if something happens on the road, what can be done? โ€

Surprise, concern, worry, overflowing, like the most loving mother in the world.

"Mother!" Tian Hua's heart seemed to be hit hard by a heavy beating, and a feeling of pathos arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart. The nose was sore, tears rushed out, and a "mother" blurted out like this.

Liang Lili stretched out her arms, hugged her daughter into her arms, and cried: "Jasmine, my daughter, my mother is useless, I made you suffer!" Mother is sorry for you, it is my mother who has affected you, and it is useless to be a mother! โ€

The good concubine of the Hou Mansion has fallen into such a bleak situation today, and her future marriage will be very embarrassing. Men from poor families dare not marry, and the sons and young masters of the noble family will not look down on them, so what will they do in the future?

There are two sons, what future do you have in this life? Whether you can grow up safely, marry a wife and have children, there is no guarantee.

"Mother, my daughter doesn't blame you, you're not wrong, it's this world that's wrong, it's those wolf-hearted people who are wrong!" Tian Hua couldn't help crying, feeling both nostalgic for his own situation and distressed for this mother.

This world is too cruel for women. A man is high, and as long as he writes a letter of resignation, he can sweep his wife out of the house casually. Not only is a little property not given as a settling-in fee, but even the wife's dowry can be forcibly withheld.

Grandfather Liang Yong sighed: "Yes, it's all to blame for this world, villains are in charge, there is no heavenly reason!" Don't cry, the child has come from afar, and he can't stay here for long. If you have that time, you might as well sit down and talk to your child! โ€

After speaking, he looked at Song Shaohui, who was standing on the side, and asked tentatively: "This is the prince of the Dingguo Mansion, right?" โ€

The tall and handsome young man in front of him, dressed in civilian clothes, and his face was mostly covered by a hat. He can guess like this, also because the person who sent things to the Liang family before was Song Shaohui's subordinates. And the person in front of him is an extraordinary identity at a glance, except for Song Shaohui, he really can't think of who else it is.

Song Shaohui's attitude was very respectful: "Yes, old man!" Come in, are you okay? โ€

Liang Yong: "It's spring, it's much better!" This is all thanks to your help, otherwise, this big family, before the arrival of spring, will definitely have a few more people to fall. My old man may not survive the winter! If there is still a chance in this life, I will repay it! โ€

Even if he can't repay it in this life, he still has a son and a grandson. In short, Song Shaohui's kindness, the Liang family can't help but repay it.

Song Shaohui waved his hand: "The old man is polite, this is all the result of good causes, if it wasn't for Jasmine who saved me back then, where would I have my life to help the people of the Liang family?" So, don't take it to heart, old man, just think it's my great kindness to Jasmine who saved me back then! โ€

There are still only more than 50 people in the Liang family in Dashan Village, and in a month, new people will arrive. More than half a year has passed, and the original thatched hut has been replaced by three stone houses close together. It is a three-courtyard house, and deep traps are dug around it to defend against the invasion of fierce beasts.

Liang Lili and her niece, who are five or six to fifteen years old, are crammed into a room, a large fire pit, which is long and big, and the six of them sleep together and are still rich. The room was very simple, except for a fire pit, a simple table, a large bathtub, two wooden basins, and two crude wardrobes.

When Tian Hua saw it, his heart couldn't help but be sour, and tears fell.

The dignified daughter and granddaughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong, who was originally a noble person, how noble his identity was. And because the door style of the Marquis of Zhongyong is very good, it is quite respected by the world, but now it has fallen into such a miserable situation.

Unexpectedly, even the small life of an ordinary farmer can't live!

Liang Lili didn't want her daughter to be sad, so she hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Good boy, don't be sad, compared to other exiled families, our family is doing well!" Song Shizi asked people to send a lot of food, clothes, medicines, as well as farm tools and seeds, so that our family could survive the cold winter, and we had the ability to build such a house! Many people still live in thatched huts, leaking everywhere, and the weaker ones have not survived that cold winter! โ€

A certain cousin nodded vigorously: "Yes, cousin, our family is like this, it's already very good!" All of this is thanks to my cousin, it was my cousin's kind deeds back then, that led to such a good fate and won the rescue of Song Shizi! Otherwise, not to mention my grandparents, even I don't think I can survive such a cold winter. In this place, there is a lack of food and clothing, and there are not even decent axes and saws for cutting down trees, how many families come to this place, and they are not ruined? Cousin, you can rest assured, we will take good care of my aunt! โ€

The rest of them also expressed their positions, reassuring Tian Hua that they would take good care of Liang Lili.

The land of exile is very strictly managed, and Tian Hua cannot stay overnight in a village in the mountains. Time was tight, and she could stay here for an hour.

Liang Lili wiped a handful of tears and hugged her daughter hard: "You go talk to your grandfather and comfort him, my mother hopes that your grandfather can live a long life!" โ€

"Okay, mother!" This is also the meaning of Tian Hua.

Walking out of the house and coming to the hall, Song Shaohui was talking to several men from the Liang family.

Tian Hua looked at Liang Yong: "Grandfather, I want to talk to you alone." โ€

Liang Yong nodded briskly: "Okay, come with my grandfather!" โ€

The two turned around and went to the next room, where Liang Yong and his wife lived.

There are many people, and while no one has come to disturb him now, Tian Hua hurriedly took out several coarse cloth money bags from the space: "Grandfather, this is for you to spare, be careful, except for your grandmother, uncle, and cousin, don't let anyone else know." Mother, I will also give her a little spare, don't give it to her again! โ€

So saying, he opened the money bags one by one, and spread them out on the table: there were five rolls of silver bills wrapped in oiled paper, a total of 20,000 taels, ten gold bars, a small bag of silver beans, a small bag of gold beans, and a small bag of loose silver.

Tian Hua ordered the tea with his finger and wrote on the table: These silver coins, you might as well find a few hidden places in the mountains and forests to bury them, just in case. The silver ticket was sewn into the hidden pocket of the old padded jacket, and it was also divided into several parts, which were sewn into several padded jackets.

There are many people, but the eldest aunt is not a worry-free thing, and her mouth can't be controlled. As long as she knows something, it won't be long before everyone in this family will know. Moreover, among the more than 50 people, the eldest aunt also has several henchmen, and one of them is even "inquiring".

Liang Yong understood and nodded: "Jasmine, don't worry, my grandfather is so old that he hasn't lived in vain." I'll arrange it and wait for the day when these things can come in handy! After you go back this time, don't come back in the future, the journey is long and dangerous. If you have a case, how can you reassure your grandfather? โ€

Tian Hua: "Okay, Jasmine will listen to her grandfather, and she will not go out easily until she learns martial arts." Grandfather, you always have to be strong, the prince is a good one, and there will be a day when you will wash away your grievances! โ€

I ordered tea with water again, and wrote on the table: I promise you that in five years at most, I will clear up the grievances of the Liang family! In addition, since the people of the Liang family have all come to this place, whether they can return to the capital in the future or not, it is best to leave a branch here, just in case!

Liang Yong nodded vigorously: "I know that the Liang family was exiled by the family, and it was actually a fluke that the entire family was not implicated in the exile together!" At the beginning, he was almost wiped out! One day, the Liang family is free, and I will definitely plan well. Not only here, but also in the northwest and Lingnan, I will also try to secretly send someone over and develop a branch in those places! In this way, in the days to come, even if the Liang family faces another catastrophe, it will definitely not be wiped out! โ€

This time, although there was no intention of exterminating the clan, almost all the other people in the family, who were officials in the court, were dismissed. Those who run businesses have also been suppressed so that they have no place to turn over, so they can only go back to their hometown to buy some fields to maintain a small life that is enough to survive with food and clothing. It can be said that the entire Liang family is greatly damaged. If it weren't for Jasmine's adventure and a treasure that could collect things, even with Song Shaohui's help, it would not be easy to make a comeback in the future.

At any time, a penny can stump a hero!

Tian Hua got up and knelt down, his voice choked: "Grandfather, you always have to take good care of yourself, you have to get through, don't let Jasmine want to raise and not wait!" This kind of pain is difficult for Jasmine to bear, please take good care of her body! In everything, you have to look a little away, and you have to be wide and fat! Don't think too much, be optimistic, and the pain will be much less! โ€

Liang Yong couldn't help but burst into tears, and choked up: "Okay, grandfather knows!" Don't force it, it's good that the grievances of the Liang family can be cleared up, and there is nothing if they can't be cleared. Don't look at this place as a bitter cold place, but it is not a place of poor mountains and bad waters, there are pheasants, hares, mushrooms, wild fruits and wild vegetables in the mountains and forests. After a long time, I have a foundation here, as long as I don't be lazy and slippery, I can live a good life! โ€

Even if you can't pardon or clear your grievances, as long as your family is still alive and you can have incense to inherit, then there's nothing. None of these dynasties can be passed down for thousands of years, maybe in a few decades, the Rongguo will be destroyed, and the dynasty will be changed. At that time, the Liang family will be an innocent family again, and the children of the family can enter the imperial examination again, or serve in the army as generals!

Liang Yong: "After you go back, if it's convenient, you can properly fund the people of the Liang clan." Who to fund and how much to fund, you can do it yourself. If you have a bad character, don't help any of them, when necessary, suppress those black sheep, and don't let those honest and kind people be persecuted for no reason! โ€

Tian Hua nodded vigorously: "I know, after I go back, I'll do it immediately!" โ€

Not to mention, her grandfather didn't remind her, she really forgot about it. It really shouldn't be, there are still many good people in the Liang clan. In her previous life, there were even a few people who had released kindness to her.

Tian Hua is very sad and difficult to give up.

Most of the people in the Liang family are also like this.

Seeing this, Song Shaohui made a decision: "Jasmine, why don't you stay here for a few days, be careful, and don't let the people in the nearby guard center find out!" โ€

The nearby guard house is actually quite far from here, about five or six miles away. Moreover, it was still a straight line distance, and it was impossible to walk without two or three hours.

Tian Hua also knew this, thought about it, and agreed: "Okay, thank you, Brother Song, for bothering you!" I don't walk around, at most I stay in the courtyard and don't let outsiders see me! โ€

Song Shaohui must have to take risks when he made this decision, and it was difficult for him. However, staying with his mother and grandfather is also Tian Hua's wish. Not far away, I finally came to a trip, and I just left, I was really unwilling. Besides, after being tired all the way, I will definitely have to rest in this plot for three or five days before leaving. Not to mention people, even the pulling horse, if you don't have a good rest, you can't just walk a long distance like this.

Song Shaohui nodded: "Well, be careful, I'll come back in three days and send you back to the capital!" โ€

According to Yu Yuan's report, Jasmine's personality is still very reliable, and she is a sensible and wise girl.
