Chapter Twenty-Four

Facts have proved that those who are convinced of the relevant matters recorded in the official history will eventually be fooled by history. The reason is very simple, because history is written by people, as long as it is a person, there will be desires, there will be distracting thoughts, and with distracting thoughts, the book will naturally bring it out. In the Spring and Autumn Period, a powerful minister of a small country usurped the throne and recruited a historian to tamper with the history books, and the historian waved his pen: traitorous ministers usurped power; Then he was cut off the heads of the three historians in one go, until the last one, which was still the four big characters of traitorous usurpation, forcing the usurper to have no choice, so he had to let this gang of ruthless and lifeless sand turtles write down the truth, this matter was later regarded as a classic by countless historians and inventors, and has since become a major benchmark for the authors of the official history of the past dynasties to flaunt the authenticity of their historical books.

Is the official history true and credible, do you say? Of course, the historians with a hard waist stick insist on writing history according to the truth, but in the end, there are still many people who cherish their lives in this world, and the later historians have learned wisely, only repairing the history of the previous generations, not repairing the contemporary history, and I don't know how much has been lost in the historical materials alone, not to mention that these official histories have heavy defects: they only pay attention to the heavy events, and the subtle things are deliberately ignored, and the worst thing is that often the turning points of history occur at an inconspicuous starting point, therefore, Even the most authentic history books cannot truly depict the events that took place during the time period they record, and the only thing it can record is only a framework. In other words, under the premise that the large framework remains the same, everything is possible.

For example, if you kill Li Shimin and then let people impersonate him, as long as you can appease Li Shimin's cadres, then the problem will not be very big, and history will not change. In the same way, although Rong'er has passed away, if someone can marry Li Shimin instead of her, then the eldest grandson Wuji will still be Li Shimin's in-law and will become Li Shimin's loyal number one thug. Shi Qingyi was a little irritable, in fact, there was indeed no more suitable person than her, the reason why it was suitable had nothing to do with her family background, it was just that the old woman Li Dugu took a fancy to her, that's all, but with the status of the old woman in the Li Mansion, her words were actually the final decision of the Li family. Shi Qingyi still can't figure out how the wise old lady likes her and her appearance? Indeed, Shi Qingyi's true appearance, which has inherited the excellent genes of the evil king and the Jingzhai fairy, is indeed outstanding, and it is not surprising to see it with the old lady's eyesight, but a wise person like her will also care very much about her appearance, Shi Qingyi didn't believe it at the first time, or just like she said, it can really restrain his arrogant and bold grandson, for the old lady's statement, Shi Qingyi felt more like listening to a story, in his previous life, he was just a house, and he didn't know how to communicate with others, although he walked through Xishu in this life, Walking through Daxing and Luoyang, her horizons have broadened a lot, but her temperament has not changed, and the only people she comes into contact with are her own little sister and eldest grandson Wuji.

smiled bitterly, sure enough, I was completely stupid by my father, and I actually remembered some messy things, if only Rong'er was still there, at least, she could be by her side, so that she was not so lonely and alone. How to deal with the terrifying father, Shi Qingyi has no clue at all, in fact, her brain is also very confused, I have to say that since she found the traces of her father's arrival, her spirit has been in a tense state, and then, an old face covered with Zou lines crossed in front of Shi Qingyi's eyes, Shi Qingyi once again remembered the elder of the Li family, the wise old lady, if it was her, even if she couldn't put forward a clever proposal for Shi Qingyi, at least, it could relieve the anxiety at this time.

Shi Qingyi went to Li Mansion, and the old lady Dugu seemed very happy to see her, and pulled her to ask questions, but she quickly saw that Shi Qingyi was absent-minded, so she opened her mouth to ask, Shi Qingyi didn't hide much, except for the secret that the evil king is Pei Ju, the others told the old lady, and after the old lady heard about it, she didn't speak immediately, but lowered her head and fell into contemplation. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Shi Qingyi: "Do you think your father still loves you?" "Of course." Shi Qingyi replied without hesitation. Mrs. Dugu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then how do you think that he will kill you mercilessly?" Shi Qingyi shook his head, "I don't know, but my intuition tells me that he will definitely do this," Shi Qingyi talked about the past, "After Daddy's defeat in the fight with Ning Daoqi, his spirit was greatly stimulated, so he was schizophrenic, and it was just normal times, but when he came into contact with our family, his extremely tyrannical side would be revealed, because in that twisted personality, he thought that his failure was because he was dragged down by us, That's why she is so desperate to kill us......" After listening to Shi Qingyi's narration, the old lady finally understood what kind of situation the evil king was in now, and she was relieved, because in the conclusion she calculated, Shi Qingyi's future is not in danger, in fact, Shi Qingyi can also guess, but after all, that person is her closest relative, so she is restless, even if she guesses the result, she doesn't dare to confirm it, after all, that missed meeting, if it really meets, Shi Qingyi will die at that time, fortunately, She happened to be out. It is not easy for the evil king to muster the courage to kill his daughter, when one failure is over, then he will not attack the second time, human nature is so strange, the old lady Dugu has seen a lot. Naturally, we can see people's minds. After explaining these to Shi Qingyi, Shi Qingyi's heart finally quieted down.

"Do you want to hear something about your mother, last time I wanted to say, but you refused, this time, you won't still make the same decision as last time, right?" Shi Qingyi smiled: "I can hear the old lady talk about my mother's past, I can't be happy, how can I refuse." The old lady also smiled: "Okay, I'll just say it, things have to start from more than 20 years......"

Twenty years ago, Yang Jian just replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, because it was a usurpation, many generals in the world had raised troops to fight against him, and at this time, the Turks in the north took the opportunity to invade, and the frontier was in an emergency, and at this time, the generation of fairies of Cihang Jingzhai, Bi Xiuxin, walked out of the mountain gate and came to the world that was about to become a battlefield everywhere, she persuaded the generals not to oppose Yang Jian, but to focus on the overall situation, to fight against the Turks, and at the same time to intersect with all the heroes on the rivers and lakes, and go north with them, Together with the border army to fight against the Turkic invasion, Li Yuan was also overwhelmed by the words and demeanor of this fairy, joined the army in the north, and thus became acquainted with Yue Shan, and formed a brother of life and death, that is, with the efforts of Bi Xiuxin, there was no large-scale war in the country at that time, and at the same time, all kinds of soldiers and horses actively resisted the Turkic invasion, resulting in the Turkic loss of troops and had to retreat to the grassland, without causing serious damage to the Central Plains. Because Bi Xiuxin made such a great contribution, Yang Jian greatly rewarded Cihang Jingzhai, and it was from this time that Jingzhai officially entered the field of vision of dignitaries and dignitaries, and became the spiritual leader of Jianghu Baidao.

"And then?" Shi Qingyi asked in a muttered voice. The old lady glanced at her, "And then, ah, and then there was the twenty-year battle of the Jingzhai Demon Gate, and your mother was defeated by your father's hands, in fact, she was going to commit suicide, but your father saved her and forced your mother to marry him, and then lived in seclusion together." Saying that, the old lady looked at Shi Qingyi with a smile, "And I have a smart daughter." "It's not me." Shi Qingyi avoided the old lady's gaze: "My sister Shi Qingxuan has always lived in the valley and has never left. "Oh, that's good, too." The old lady understood that Shi Qingyi didn't want her identity to be known by more people, so she said to Shi Qingyi like this to make her feel at ease.

The conversation changed to another topic, and the old lady looked at Shi Qingyi, with a scared smile on her face, and a Zhizhu in her hand, "Regarding the last time I stayed, what was the result of your consideration?" Shi Qingyi's heart was sudden, although she knew that if she met the old lady, she would definitely not bypass this problem. Her eyes were empty, and her voice lowered slightly: "Why do you have to use that way, in fact, our two families have a deep relationship." "Yue Shan is his own teacher, and he is also Li Yuan's sworn brother, speaking of which, Shi Qingyi should call Li Yuan uncle. Dugu shook his head slightly, "It's not enough, what I hope is that we become a family." Shi Qingyi looked at her and found that the old lady was also looking at her, her eyes full of determination. Don't you give up! Shi Qingyi only felt weak for a while: "If it's just a family, you can ask Mrs. Dou to accept me as a righteous daughter" Then, she saw the mocking look in Dugu's eyes. "Righteous daughter, what a meaningful identity!" The old lady said, but there was no contempt in her eyes. "You're not from a noble background, so you don't know this very well, but if you were clear, you wouldn't think so." Shi Qingyi was surprised, and then a sentence suddenly poured out of his head: Godsister is to attack, retreat to defend, and it is appropriate to give gifts for personal use...... I forgot when I heard it in my previous life, but think about it, it's also a relative of Gan, and the goddaughter and godsister seem to be similar.

The reason why Shi Qingyi recognized Gao Shuyun as his godmother, in addition to the factor of the eldest grandson Wurong, the fact that their orphans and widows have no power to entangle is also an important reason. But even so, she was still put on the table by the eldest grandson Wuji, and was almost given to the Li family as a gift, so it is really a cheat to say that this thing is a god. No wonder the old lady looked down on it.

"The matter of marrying someone is too far away for me," facing this wise old man, Shi Qingyi could only tell the truth, "I walked out of the valley of Xishu, thinking only about my family, my little sister and my father." The old lady looked at Shi Qingyi, "How old are you this year?" "Fourteen" Shi Qingyi replied. The old lady was a little surprised, "Only fourteen years old, you really surprise me, after all, the swordsmanship you demonstrated that day was close to the extreme, I really didn't expect that you were even better than I imagined." "Thank you old lady for the compliment, I think I am far behind my father." Shi Qingyi replied like this, Dugu looked at Shi Qingyi and asked: "Then, do you miss your mother?" "Mother? Shi Qingyi's right hand touched his chest, and there, there was a faint pain, "Think, all the time." Her deep voice came into the ears of the old lady, making the old lady's eyes become extremely deep in an instant, "If your mother is still alive now, she will be very relieved to hear the news that someone has proposed marriage to you." As a mother, the happiest thing is to see her daughter get married. As she spoke, the old lady beat herself and sang a familiar melody: "The peach is dying, scorching its glory, and the son is home, and it is suitable for his family."

The peach is dying, and there is a fén (fén) in fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate.

The peach is young, and its leaves are zhen. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family.

This is the poem describing a woman's marriage in the "Book of Songs", which has been sung by people for thousands of years, Shi Qingyi listened in a daze, until the old lady dropped the last beat: "If Bixiu's heart is also there, I think she will also bless you." The old lady said to Shi Qingyi. In fact, the old lady's voice is not beautiful, but the rhythm is perfect, and the voice exudes a fresh and joyful atmosphere, showing the heart of a married woman in front of the audience.

Finally, Shi Qingyi asked the next question, "Old lady, since you are talking about marriage, then I take the liberty to ask, do you think that in marriage, is the form or substance important?" Old Madam Dugu already knew what Shi Qingyi wanted to ask, and her answer was also very ingenious: "Substance is important, but in many cases, without form, there will be no substance later." The old lady's tone was soft, but it gave Shi Qingyi the feeling that it was like a flood bursting the embankment, destroying the last line of defense in Shi Qingyi's heart, "Sometimes, people have to be pushed." ”

Shi Qingyi's eyes looked squarely at this wise old man, and for the first time, he looked at each other without fear: "Old lady, do you believe in your own vision and have never made mistakes?" Old Madam Dugu had already stood up: "There is never an absolute thing in the whole world, but we can do it without regrets." Well, now, say your answer! The two looked at each other quietly, Shi Qingyi bit her lip lightly, and gently said the answer she wanted: "Okay, I'll marry." ”
