Mrs. Zhao was born in Kunshan County, Pingjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili, and it is said that her ancestors once had a prime minister, and then the family withered, and when she reached her father's generation, there was no overnight food at home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the last years of the previous dynasty, there were several major droughts one after another, and after the great droughts, there were often locust plagues, and even Pingjiang Prefecture, the land of fish and rice, had a situation of selling children and daughters.

There were homeless people in Qiandeng Town who rebelled, and immediately gathered more than 3,000 strong men, crushed the soldiers who came to collect grain, and attacked Kunshan County in one fell swoop. In addition, there were successive severe droughts in the north, and there was no harvest, and within a month, seven or eight rebel armies sprung up across the country.

The world was in turmoil.

Mrs. Zhao's father was a well-tried talent, teaching in the town to barely make ends meet, and seeing that the old lady and pregnant wife at home were about to starve to death, he had to join the righteous army and hang up the title of military advisor.

Later, the exiles in Qiandeng Town were exterminated, but Zhao Xiucai became famous because of his resourcefulness. At that time, Emperor Taizu relied on a morale to defeat the Hejian Mansion, and when there were no flies running around, he sent people to visit the thatched house.

Zhao Xiucai was at the point where he had nowhere to go, so he had to join the bandits again.

Zhao Xiucai became a monk halfway, and in the end he was not as good as the brothers who rebelled with Taizu, so in order to win the trust of the righteous army, he promised his eight-year-old daughter to Zhou Xin, the only son of Taizu's righteous brothers.

Later, the northern Tartars took the opportunity to invade the border, and the various places rebelled one after another, and the court of the previous dynasty suppressed this side, and could not control that side, and the righteous army of this Hejian Mansion became bigger and bigger, and it was annexed everywhere, and finally Taizu was called the emperor.

Zhou Xin's father was named the mighty king, and later changed the title to the protector of the country.

Zhao Xiucai didn't catch up with this good time, he was seriously injured by a stray arrow when he entered the capital, and died at the gate of the palace. Emperor Taizu posthumously named him the king of Zhending County, and rewarded his daughter, the Duchess of the Protector at that time, that is, the title of Mrs. Yipin, the old lady of Zhao.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao was born, she followed the rebels everywhere and bumps, endured hardships, and enjoyed blessings, and saw all battles. Her husband once commented that she was "steadfast and resolute, and I might as well be the same".

She is now in her ear and can only sleep two or three hours a night, and she woke up early today.

The close-fitting big girl Coral carefully combed her hair, and was teased: "There are not a few good ones in total, and you still can't stop looking at them." ”

Coral smiled: "I see that the old lady has a lot of hair, and there is less white. ”

Mrs. Zhao doesn't like to use glass mirrors, so there is a large bronze mirror in Huzhou in the room, and a half-height Fuzhou bronze mirror is placed on the dressing table.

At one point, the little girl came in to report, "The young master is awake, and he is drinking sobering soup, and the girl has also come." ”

Mrs. Zhao ordered the kitchen to set the meal.

Zhou Yanzhi is young in the end, although he had a hangover, he recovered after a sleep, and after drinking the soup, he began to coax his sister to be happy, "I set Renhe Restaurant, and when Your Majesty finished reading the lights, as soon as they dispersed, we went to sit there, downstairs is Huiyuanfang, there are the most exotic lamps hanging on a street, I went out to look at them yesterday, you like to sit upstairs, or you love to go down to the street, anyway, I will accompany you." ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat silk rice last time? I heard that there is a fruit silk seller in Huiyuan Fang, and the silk rice sold has eight or nine colors..."

"Alright, don't tease your sister." Old Madam Zhao interrupted him with a smile, "You have slept enough, we were worried about it all night last night." ”

Zhou Yanzhi was embarrassed.

He stood up and greeted Old Madam Zhao, and defended: "I thought I would be able to come back soon, but who knew that Cheng Enhou was at home and left me to have dinner with Zhongchang." ”

Zhou Qin hurriedly asked, "Did Tian Chu embarrass you?" ”

"Xiangu." Mrs. Zhao reminded, "Even if you are at home, you can't call adults by their names outside." ”

Zhou Qinxiao bowed his head.

"It's not at home." Zhou Yanzhi hurriedly helped his sister play the round, "He accepted the things and didn't say anything, Cheng Enhou was very happy, let us go to him often to play." ”

Old Madam Zhao nodded and didn't say anything.

The three of them had breakfast, and a mother-in-law came in to say goodbye, and said to Zhou Qin: "Girl, Second Miss He sent someone to ask you where you are watching the lanterns tonight and what color clothes you are wearing." ”

It's finally here. Same as in previous lives.

Zhou Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The second girl of He is named He Suyu, nicknamed Susu, and is the second daughter of He Jia, the secretary of the ministry. He Fu is prosperous, He Jia has a total of five sons and three daughters, the eldest daughter has been married, and the younger daughter is a concubine who is only one year old.

He Suyu was born a few months earlier than Zhou Qin, and when she was five years old, Mrs. He brought her to visit. Old Madam Zhao saw that she was clever and lively, and liked her very much, and rewarded her with a jade nine-link link.

She thanked her, but she didn't hold it in her hand, and whispered, "My mother said that there is a little sister here, I haven't seen it yet, and I will play together when I see us." ”

Mrs. Zhao laughed and asked the girl to take Zhou Qin out.

The two first dismantled the nine links on the couch, and then went to Zhou Qin's room, He Suyu saw the goldfish raised in Zhou Qin's room, and thought it was red, but Zhou Qin said it was orange.

The two of them secretly poured water and looked at the sun to distinguish the colors.

By the time the girl found out, the seven or eight precious Qiongzhou phoenix-tailed dragon-eyed goldfish had already turned their bellies, and the couch was also wet.

Mrs. He knew about it, worried that Mrs. Zhao would be angry, and apologized again and again, but Mrs. Zhao felt that this was the true temperament of a child, and often took He Suyu to play after that.

Since then, the two girls have been back and forth, and the relationship is very good. However, this time, because of the holiday, the two have not seen each other for more than half a month from years ago to now.

Tonight, their two ladies will wait for Zhao Xian to watch the lanterns in the stands next to the Xuande Building, after the Royal Street Lantern Festival, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. He went to meet the Queen Mother and a group of concubines, leaving He Suyu's third brother He Yaqing to take care of them.

What happened next, like frame by frame, Zhou Qin will not forget until he dies.

There was a sudden commotion upstairs, and then silence, and it turned out that the princess of Wei suddenly came to the stage for some reason.

In the stands, the ladies went to meet the princess of Wei.

Princess Wei asked her with a smile, "You are Zhou Yanzhi's sister who always refuses to bring her into the palace?" ”

Princess Wei smiled heartily: "I heard that they have booked Renhe Restaurant today, why haven't they come to pick you up?" Well, I'll take you there. ”

She got into the car of the princess of Wei in the envious eyes of everyone.

The car drove out of the royal street, and there were crowds of people along the way, and the hawkers were selling, a lively and peaceful atmosphere.

The car drove to Xiangguoji Temple.

The driver suddenly went crazy, and the coachman was overturned in the carriage and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Together with the princess's maidservant, she reached out to pull the reins.

The two were thrown out of the carriage.

She listened to the princess's cries for help and watched the carriage drive away.

Then there was the crowd that scattered around, the soldiers who gathered around a moment later, the eunuchs who came to summon them, and the expressionless face of Empress Dowager Tian.

Everything was as if it had just happened.
