When Mrs. Zhao saw that her granddaughter was worried about her brother, she felt sour and went to take care of her affairs without mentioning it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhou Yanzhi and his sister have been struggling since childhood, and the relationship between the two is very good, he saw that Zhou Qin stayed, and said busily: "Aunt Xian came to my house, I brought you something." ”
When she entered the house, the little girl took out a box, which contained two delicate stubborn tools, one was a vivid little plastic clay puppet "grinding and drinking" doll, only the size of a baby's fist, wearing a dry red vest and a green gauze skirt, elegant and cute; One is a small ball-sized glass round lamp, with a light blue color and crystal clear.
Zhou Qin casually picked up the doll and played with it, and asked casually, "Where did you get the good things?" ”
Zhou Yanzhi didn't care, "The inner treasury was newly made and presented to His Majesty, Zhong Chang liked it, so he brought a few out, and when he came back, I saw it, and I took it for you." ”
It is now the twelfth year of Taiping, the original little emperor Zhao Xian has long been an adult, and the Empress Dowager Tian has proposed to return to the Son of Heaven several times, but Zhao Xian has rejected it for various reasons, but instead wrestles and plays polo with the guards all day long. The ministers' persuasion failed, seeing that the Son of Heaven did not appreciate it, and the power of the Empress Dowager Tian was deepening, so he had to secretly sigh that the Son of Heaven was grown up in the hands of a woman and was raised as a waste, while making their own plans.
However, Zhou Qin, who had already experienced it once, knew that four years later, Zhao Xian suddenly burst into force and put Empress Dowager Tian under house arrest in Ciming Palace.
And Zhou Yan, the protector of the country, who was supposed to be on patrol in Goryeo, appeared in the court early the next morning.
The palace and the court suddenly set off a wave of liquidating the party of the Empress Dowager Tian.
Half a month later, the people sent by his uncle Zhou Yan arrived at the Tongchuan Assassin Mansion, but unfortunately, before he could meet with him, he was strangled to death by his mother-in-law's henchmen with a rope.
The Protectorate Mansion came to the end, and only the uncle was left.
And he just swallowed his breath, but inexplicably returned to four years ago.
was reprimanded by Mrs. Tian, and she was at a loss.
When her brother was drowned, she would only kneel beside the mourning hall and cry bitterly.
My grandmother had a stroke, and she had no way to deal with it except to take care of it on the side and manage the affairs of the house.
Until his uncle Zhou Yan handed over part of the power of the Protectorate Mansion to himself.
She has transformed from an ordinary girl into a calm and dignified person in the eyes of others.
Zhou Yan was forced to surrender the princess of Wei, but on the night of the wedding, he was rejected by the princess. The next day, the princess went straight back to the palace. The next day, Empress Dowager Tian ordered Zhou Yan to be sent to Ryukyu as an envoy. Since then, Zhou Yan has been transferred by the Empress Dowager Tian, and has been sent to foreign countries for most of the year.
In the past three years, she has tried her best to investigate a series of things that happened back then. However, the investigation process is extremely difficult, and it seems that an invisible hand is holding her back from the truth.
Just as the investigation was about to progress, the princess of Wei promised her to the young son of Tongchuan Thorn Shi in the remote Shu region.
From marriage to marriage, all etiquette was simple, and it took less than half a month.
It was an eventful time, and it was rumored that the Tatar tribes had infiltrated Kyoto, and the government had blocked the entire capital like a bucket, and the power of the Protectorate was mostly in the northern land and the capital, so she could only stand still.
Before he could find out the situation in Tongchuan's assassin's house, the wood had already become a boat, and it was already the eve of the wedding.
She hurriedly married into the Zhang family, and on the night of marriage, she learned that her husband had tuberculosis since he was a child, and he had been bedridden for four or five years, but he just survived.
In the sixteenth year of peace, her titular husband died in a hospital bed.
Not long after, Zhao Xian forced the palace, and Zhou Zhengxin stood on the stage of the Wei court.
After she was reborn, she kept thinking that for most of the year, she was full of joy and exhaustion, and although she couldn't be the master of the house in the Assassin's Mansion, she was already able to live extremely comfortably. and faintly revealed that she wanted to succeed her nephew in the next room as an heir, in the eyes of everyone in the Assassin's Mansion, her dowry was about to change her surname in a blink of an eye, why did her mother-in-law's henchmen want to kill herself, and whose instructions was this?
Besides, her methods are so crude, her actions are so hasty, how can she hide her traces?
At that time, Zhou Yan had the merit of supporting the monarch, and the Protector Mansion was about to rise up again when he saw it, which was a hot situation, if she was a smart person, she should have a good hand at this time to befriend the Protector Mansion, she acted like this, wasn't she afraid that Zhou Yan would find out the truth and retaliate in the future?
What's more, her mother-in-law, Liu, although she is confined to the back house and is very harsh in her ordinary behavior, she is not such a stupid person. And the father-in-law Zhang Yingman, with a false title of thorn on his head, only knows how to go to the yamen on weekdays, but he accepts five or six concubines at home, and he messes around in the backyard all day long, so he doesn't look like he has the ability to do this.
So who is it, and why would they put themselves to death at this time?
Zhou Qin returned to four years ago, but he didn't dare to sleep for a few nights, for fear that when he woke up, he would find that everything in front of him was a dream, and he had already become a ghost in the underworld.
She didn't dare to tell anyone, so she could only chew and recall the things that had happened one by one in her memory.
In the first year of Taiping, Empress Dowager Tian selected Zhao Xian to accompany Zhao Xian among the children of officials, and Zhou Yanzhi was on the list. From then on, he could only rest for five days a month, and stayed in the palace to accompany him the rest of the time.
Zhao Xian has a total of four companions, all of whom are children who are close in age, and it didn't take long for everyone to get acquainted. The rules in the palace are strict, and the Empress Dowager Tian doesn't even bother to give face to the little emperor, so the people who serve under her prevaricate perfunctorily, and the companions quickly learn to huddle together to keep warm.
In the past, when Zhou Yanzhi came back, he always complained that all kinds of people in the palace were deceived and deceitful, but in the past two years, he rarely heard similar words, and everything went well in the palace.
So what went wrong?
Could it be that Uncle Zhou Yan, who was stationed in the north far away, offended anyone?
Zhou Qin couldn't figure it out.
In his previous life, Zhou Yanzhi's whereabouts in the past two days were a mystery, and now, even if he can't be left behind, he has to know his whereabouts.
Four years ago, I was still a naïve girl.
Then be that innocent girl on the surface!
She put down the stubborn tool in her hand, and pulled Zhou Yanzhi's cuffs with a somewhat coquettish tone: "Brother, is it okay to accompany me at home for the past two days, I will do my homework with you." ”
Zhou Qin has been sensible since he was a child, and it is rare to make such a clear request when Zhou Yan is distressed, and he is naturally willing to do so. Zhou Qin and his brother read a few fashionable scripts, and saw that Chenguang was still early, so they grabbed an obscure passage from the "Anthology" and forced Zhou Yanzhi to accompany her to solve the problem separately.
As soon as this question was solved, it was broken for more than half an hour, and before she could take a breath, Zhou Yanzhi's usual scholar trotted to the door, hurriedly saluted, and said: "Young master, the young master of the Su family said that he had an urgent matter to see you, and he couldn't stop it, and this would already be at the gate of the courtyard." ”
Young Master Su's full name is Su Zhongchang, he is the eldest son of Cheng Su Quan in the imperial history, and he is also one of the emperor's attendants, and Su Ri has an excellent relationship with Zhou Yanzhi.
Could it be that Zhou Yanzhi was called out by Su Zhongchang in his previous life?
Zhou Qin couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
While thinking about it, the guest had already arrived at the door.
Su Zhongchang is one year younger than Zhou Yanzhi, his eyebrows are clear, and his dark brown coat is stained with mud marks and rain traces, his face is full of shame, and he made a big salute as soon as he entered the door, and said: "I'm sorry Yanzhi, I was dizzy today, I did something wrong, and I accidentally dragged you into the water." As he was talking, he couldn't help but see Zhou Qin, who stood up to salute him, his face turned red, and he hurriedly returned the salute, "Is it the sister of the Zhou family, I'm sorry, I didn't scare you." ”
Su Zhongchang was a little remorseful, he had something urgent, and he had been with Zhou Yanzhi for many years, so he broke in, but he never thought that there would be a female dependent in the house.
He glanced at Zhou Qin casually, only to feel that Zhou Yanzhi's sister had extremely white skin, delicate facial features, and a pair of eyes that were big and clear, bright and bright, and looked very clean.
It's no wonder that I usually take this sister to heart every day, and I think about it when I see delicious food, and I think about it when I see fun.
