He Dong nodded and said: "Your master, Mr. Crouching Tiger, is a strange hero, and he is also a hero of this dynasty. ”

He Jingyan said: "It is the master who pours his money to teach the art of war and Qimen Dunjia, so that I can lead the Huben army deep into the hinterland of the Huns to kill the Hun dogs." ”

He Dongzhen said solemnly: "You must protect his safety this time." ”

He Jingyan said: "Uncle Emperor, even if I am crushed, I must save my master's life." ”

He Donghu stared at his nephew, who had become famous all over the world at a young age, and said in a low voice: "Only you and me, Mr. Crouching Tiger, know about this matter, and you can't tell anyone, not even the prince." ”

The crown prince He Yixuan is twenty-five years old this year, and his biological mother is He Dong's original wife Zhou. Zhou died young. He Dong married Murong Ying as his wife, and canonized Murong Ying as the founding queen during the founding ceremony.

He Jingyan and the prince are cousins, and they are both apprentices of Mr. Crouching Tiger. The two are like brothers.

He Jingyan knew that this matter was extremely important, and nodded: "Uncle Emperor, don't worry, I will never reveal it to anyone." ”

He Dong asked, "Do you know where your master is in Qingcheng now?" ”

He Jingyan frowned and said softly: "Master wrote me a letter, and he once said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. He is either in the Qingcheng Palace, or in the Qingcheng Xiongnu military camp. ”

"His identity in the north has always been a businessman, our army failed to attack Qingcheng twice, he had to go into the tiger's den, and entered the Qingcheng Hun military camp as an interpreter." He Dong sat down and explained to He Jingyan.

It was almost noon, He Dong had a rare kind look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You go with me to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." They all think of you, and you will have dinner in the palace at noon this day. ”

"Yes." He Jingyan had just learned from the big eunuch beside He Dong that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had lived in the palace from the Qingwang Mansion a few years ago, and were preparing to return to the Qingwang Mansion after the Shangyuan Festival.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have palaces in the palace, with groups of slaves and maids, brocade clothes and food, but they have lived in the Qingwang Mansion for a long time. It's a long story.

He Dongzu is a native of Qingzhou, Shandong.

Grandpa He Dong was a rich peasant in Qingzhou, married Grandma He Dong, and gave birth to five sons, He Dong was the eldest son.

When He Dong rebelled, the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou surrounded his house and wanted to burn everyone to death with fire, He Dong's original wife Zhou couldn't stand the fright and died, He Dong's grandparents survived strongly, and moved their family to a very remote and uninhabited deep mountain forest.

He Dong's eldest brother, second brother, and third brother left home one after another to help him in his great career, and only the younger brother He Qing stayed at home to accompany the old man.

After He Dong became the emperor, he sent people to take his grandparents, fathers, and younger brothers back to Chang'an, but on the way he met the assassins sent by the old ministers of the Kai Dynasty, and killed more than a dozen royal forest soldiers.

After that, He Dong's father died of illness, and He Dong's grandmother had to guard the grave for five years, and He Dongniang, the younger brother and his wife stayed with her in the countryside of Qingzhou.

Three years ago, Empress Murong Ying went to Qingzhou in person, and finally brought Grandma He Dong, He Dongniang, and He Dong's younger brother back to Chang'an.

He Dong's younger brother He Qing has a Qing Palace, and according to the rules of the court, he can't live in the palace.

He Dong's grandmother is the queen mother, He Dongniang is the queen mother, she has an outstanding status in the palace, but she is old, she has lived in the countryside with simple interpersonal relationships for many years, and she can't adapt to the palace life with many intrigues and intrigues in luxury etiquette, so she went to Qingwangfu after only one month, and still lived with He Dong's younger brother's family.

Later, after He Dong's persuasion, they would return to the palace during the Chinese New Year and accept the high-grade lady to kneel and worship.

He Jingyan is He Qing's eldest son. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and He Qing have lived for many years, and among the many younger generations, they love He Jingyan no less than the crown prince He Yixuan.

At the beginning of the day, He Jingyan said goodbye to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress, and received a few carts of rewards, and ordered the palace people to return to the palace. He went out of the main hall alone, took his weapon, and rode to the West Market.

He Jingyan entered the temple as a warrior monk when he was young, and then entered the temple as a martial artist, and Mr. Crouching Tiger learned the art of war, Qimen Dunjia, and then joined the army to lead the soldiers to fight, and left home all the year round, but the relationship with his parents and siblings is not thin, and every time he comes home from other places, he never empty-handed.

This time, he was ordered back to Chang'an by He Dong, and he didn't have to bring any gifts in a hurry, and he hurried to look forward to having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family.

It's a pity that Tiangong doesn't do beauty, all the way is a snow-frozen official road, and the mountain road is full of ice, and it is not feasible for him to arrive in Chang'an.

East City, West City is the most prosperous business district in Chang'an, the area is large, there are thousands of large and small shops, at this time for the New Year, three percent of the shops are closed, and the flow of people is not as much as usual.

As soon as He Jingyan entered the West Market, he heard a brawl and shouts in front of him, and there was a familiar young man's voice among them, so he hurriedly rode over to take a look.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street were so frightened that they hid in the shops, and some even closed their doors quickly.

In the middle of the street, more than a dozen people fought with swords and sticks, and one person was already covered in blood and fell to the ground.

The young man in a red robe, holding a long sword, scolding his mother loudly, and being very eye-catching was He Jingyan, the youngest son of the deceased Second Boxia King, He Jingqing.

He Jingyan has the impression that He Jingqing is modest and courteous, how could he hold a sword and scold in the street and destroy his image?

At this time, a young man wearing a fox fur hat and a purple robe rushed at He Jingqing with a knife and shouted: "You bastard, you injured the sister of the king of this county, and the king of this county killed you!" ”

He Jingyan fixed his eyes and saw that the purple-robed young man was He Jingsheng, the second son of the third uncle, He Li, and was protected by two tall slaves on the side, covering her arms and the girl with an angry face was He Li's youngest daughter, He Jingyun.

It turned out that it was his own family fighting his own family, or in Chang'an's most prosperous and lively West Market.

He Jingqing's long sword stabbed away, and was blocked by one of He Jingsheng's servants with an iron rod, and the sword pointed at He Jingsheng and said angrily: "You have a kind of call me a bastard again, I will abolish you and let you be a eunuch!" ”

He Jingsheng's eyes were red in a hurry, and he yelled at the servants in the mansion: "You go up and abolish this bastard to the king of this county, and if you don't go back today, you will all die with a rod!" ”

The servants of the palace all looked frightened and begged: "The king of the county, if the little one kills the king of Qingjun, he will be punished by His Majesty to the nine clans." ”

According to the rules of the court, the sons and daughters of the prince were canonized as county dukes and county lords, and only the sons and daughters of the crown prince could be canonized as county kings and county lords.

He Dong, the founding emperor of the Ding Dynasty, was grateful to his three younger brothers for helping him fight the world, and although the younger brother He Qing did not fight with him, he and his three younger brothers were filial piety in front of the elders.

He Dong canonized the sons and daughters of his four younger brothers as county kings and county lords.

The untouchables who murder the county lord will be punished by the nine clans. The servants of the palace could only go against He Jingsheng's will on the spot.

"If you don't go, the king of this county will go." He Jingsheng snatched a long knife from the slave's hand, a sword in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, and rushed towards it with murderous energy.

"Stop!" He Jingyan dismounted and flew over, knocked down the weapon in He Jingsheng's hand with two palms, and shouted at everyone: "Put away the weapons." ”

"Brother Yan, when will you come back from the Northlands?" He Jingqing looked surprised and happy, and hurriedly put the long sword into the sheath, turned back and gestured to the servant, "You go and save He Shiyi." ”

The servants of the Xia Wangfu all collected their weapons, glared at He Jingyun hatefully, and the two of them carried the middle-aged slave who was lying on the ground and was seriously injured and ran to the medical hall not far away, and the remaining one person stayed behind He Jingqing.

He Jingyan's voice was not loud or small and sneered: "I just arrived in Chang'an today, and I just came out of the palace, and I haven't had time to go home yet, I originally wanted to come to Xishi to buy some items for my family, but who expected to see a fratricidal fight here." ”

In the past, when he saw his cousins, he would scream politely. I'm really angry and don't want to call the three of them.

He Jingqing admired He Jingyan very much in his heart, and would not be angry with him, pointed at He Jingyun, and said excitedly: "Brother Yan, the Huns are most afraid of you." You will be fair and just. You judge the judge, she just stabbed the servant in my house to a serious injury for a box of ointment. ”

He Jingyun is thirteen years old this year, with a beautiful appearance and a temperament like Youlan out of the valley, followed his mother, Princess Ouyang, at this time his face was pale, he bit his lip and did not say anything, glared at He Jingqing, nodded to He Jingyan to say hello, and took the two slaves to the hospital to find a female doctor to examine the arm wound.

He Jingsheng took the sword handed over by the servant, clicked into the sheath, stepped forward and glanced at He Jingqing, snorted coldly, and said, "Brother Yan, you are the smartest, don't listen to his one-sided words." ”

He Xia died in battle two years ago, and He Dong, whose Longteng Army, Tiger Ben Army, Lion Roaring Army, and Wolf Killing Army He Dong was not at ease to be handed over to the commander of a general with a different surname, so he wanted to select four people from a dozen sons and nephews to serve.

He Dong set up an examination room in the western suburbs of Chang'an, and tested the art of war, martial arts, horsemanship, bow and arrow in one day.

Now He Jingyan is called the "young military god" by the people of the North, which makes the Huns frightened and gives the royal family enough face.

The most admired thing by the juniors of the royal family is He Jingyan, who has respect for the dough-like Qingwang and his wife, and also has a heart of protection for He Jingyan's younger brothers and sisters who can't get on the stage, and can't tolerate outsiders to ridicule and humiliate them behind their backs.

He Jingyan asked: "Then why did you talk about the fight, and almost killed a person?" ”

He Jingsheng pulled He Jingyan aside and said: "The ointment he said is a rare spot ointment for a hundred silver, the Buddhist and Taoist medicine circles secretly fight in the ring for this ointment, Buddhism is defeated, Taoism is prestigious, this ointment is famous, there is only one pharmacy in the West Market in the whole world to sell, even if you are powerful and powerful, you need to queue up to buy." ”

He Jingyan only cared about life-saving and serious injuries, and beauty plasters such as spot removal cream were not as good as his eyes at all, and said, "Tell me about specific things." ”

He Jingsheng nodded, no longer describing how popular the anti-spot cream was in Chang'an, and said: "Yun Mei has two good sisters who originally lived in Chang'an, and went to other places with their father the year before last. ”

He Jingqing's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she said, "Why didn't she say it just now." ”

He Jingsheng disdainfully looked at He Jingqing, and then said to He Jingyan: "Sister Yun is not easy to refuse, so she sent someone to queue up in the pharmacy since September last year, and there has been no news until now." ”

He Jingyan frowned when he heard this, no wonder the army did not have many life-saving and serious injuries medicine, and the efficacy was uneven.

He Jingsheng said: "Yun Mei felt that she couldn't wait in the house anymore, so she came to the pharmacy to take a look, and just saw that the last ten boxes of spot cream were bought by his slaves, Yun Mei thought that the two houses were relatives, so she asked his slaves to come out with two boxes, but his slaves refused to live or die, Yun Mei asked the two slaves to take the medicine, and his slaves actually ran to the street and shouted to ruin Yun Mei's reputation. In a fit of rage, Yun Mei stabbed his slave with a sword. ”

He Jingqing sneered: "Isn't she ruining her reputation by letting the slave and maid take the medicine in the pharmacy?" Are you blind or deaf in the pharmacy? ”

He Jingsheng was so angry that he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword to stab He Jingqing, but he noticed He Jingyan's sharp gaze and slowly let go.

He Jingqing said coldly: "He Shiyi's father died in the north, He Shiyi is the only male in the family, my father was afraid that he would make a mistake when he was alive, so he was not allowed to join the army, nor did he return to his hometown, so he was asked to be a slave in the mansion, and he was always protected by the mansion." ”

He Jingsheng raised his eyebrows and said, "You didn't say it just now." ”

He Jingqing said: "It's not too late to say it now, if He Shiyi is dead, your sister will wait for the punishment in the palace." ”

"Don't forget that you stabbed Yun Mei with your sword. If the palace punishes Yun Mei, it will also punish you. He Jingsheng flicked his sleeves angrily and took He Jingyan's arm to the hospital.

He is the same age as He Jingyan, his appearance is three points similar, and his height is average.

He Jingqing caught up and said, "I just scared her, but I didn't know that she was dressed so thinly, and the tip of the sword pierced her clothes with a slight slip and hurt her arm." ”

In the first month of winter, the north wind is howling, the sky and the earth are cold, and the women of the rich and noble families in Chang'an refuse to wear thick clothes in order to maintain their slender and graceful figures.

He Jingyun has a beautiful appearance, and he doesn't want to be dressed bloated and compared to other girls, so he wears less.

Where would He Jingqing, a young man, think of this, and now feel guilty in his heart, but he doesn't want to apologize for the sake of face.

"If He Shiyi can save his life, Brother Sheng will compensate him with one hundred taels of silver on behalf of Sister Yun. Brother Qing apologized to Sister Yun and handed her two boxes of ointment. This matter turned over the page, and Mo spread it to the palace, causing the elders to be angry and annoyed during the New Year. He Jingyan was worried about going home, but when he encountered this incident, he was afraid that the two parties would fight again. In the Chinese New Year, I really don't want to see bloodshed and dead people in Chang'an City.

He Jingqing and He Jingsheng didn't say anything, and waited in the hospital until He Shiyi woke up, and then did what He Jingyan said.

He Jingyun came out of the infirmary, and He Jingsheng asked, "How are your injuries?" ”

He Jingyun glared at He Jingqing, and said slowly: "The effect of the rejuvenating monk's hemostatic powder and pain-relieving and blood-activating ointment is also excellent. I only applied a little bit to stop the bleeding, and it didn't hurt anymore, and the female doctor said that it would be cured, but there would be sword marks on my arm. ”

As soon as He Jingyan heard this, he immediately instructed He Jingqing's servant to go to the pharmacy diagonally opposite the door to buy a bottle of hemostatic powder and a box of pain-relieving and blood-activating ointment.

He Jingqing said angrily: "You just left a faint sword mark on your arm, but He Shiyi's lower abdomen left a sword scar the size of a copper coin." ”

He Jingyun snorted coldly and said, "When I took out the sword, I didn't do my best, I just taught him a lesson for you." He won't die at all, a little injury will make him remember it longer, and next time he won't shout in the street about the lack of virtue that damages the reputation of the royal woman. ”

He Jingsheng said: "He Shiyi offended the county lord, despised the royal family, according to the law staff type eighty, exiled for three thousand miles, Yun Mei stabbed He Shiyi to save his life." ”

He Jingqing bowed his head and said, "The slaves in my house are at the disposal of my family. ”

He Jingyun unintentionally saw He Jingsheng holding two small green round boxes in his hands, and asked, "Brother, the ointment in your hand is a spot removal ointment?" ”

He Jingsheng handed over the two small round boxes to He Jingyun and said, "This is the spot removal cream he gave you to make amends, and he won't accept a penny." ”

He Jingyun looked carefully, the small round box was three copper coins, the surface of the box was grass green, and the words "spot removal cream" were printed on it, and the bottom of the box was dark green, and the words "rejuvenation and jushi system" were printed on it. The round box is sealed with wax, and if it is opened, the effect will dissipate.

She was overjoyed, accepted the ointment, took out two hundred taels of silver tickets from her purse and handed them to He Jingqing, and said, "I stabbed your slave, and I gave him the money for the medicine." ”

He Jingqing only accepted a silver ticket and said, "When He Shiyi recovers from his illness, I will ask him to kowtow to you to make amends." ”

He Jingyun pouted: "It's pretty much the same. ”

"This matter must have reached the house, you must not be punished when you go back at this time, your slaves will be punished more severely, it is better to go to my house, my house will send slaves to bring a message to you two houses, and my father will send it to you back to the house later." He Jingyan persuaded the three cousins and cousins in a few words.

Let's say that Qu Zheng's father and a few cousins spent two hours in the mountains, digging up more than 30 hibernating live snakes and handing them over to Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing only left nine live snakes in the medicine room to hide people's eyes and ears, and the rest were included in the rejuvenation medicine mansion.

After Qu fell asleep at night, Li Jingjing entered the Aphrodisiac Mansion and asked Yuyu to take out the bile of the live snake and take the spiritual water from the aphrodisiac bottle.

She went to the medicine room to prepare the medicine and made the snake gall bladder eye liquid, in order to achieve a better medicinal effect, asked Yuyu to store the snake gall bladder eye liquid in the rejuvenation bottle.

On the afternoon of the third day of the next day, Li Jingjing went to Qu Zheng's house with snake gallbladder and eye liquid, untied Qu Zheng's blindfolded cotton cloth, and lit the liquid medicine into his eyes.

Qu Zheng's relatives stood beside him with a sad face, and in the past few days, according to what Li Jingjing said, no matter how difficult it was in his heart, he was crying behind Qu Zheng's back.

Li Jingjing asked softly, "Brother Zheng, do your eyes still hurt?" ”

Qu Zheng was lying on the bed and said weakly: "It doesn't hurt." Very cool. Sister Jing, am I blind? ”

The bedroom was quiet and the atmosphere was depressing and dull, Li Jingjing waited for half a quarter of an hour, stretched out her right hand and shook it in front of Qu Zheng's eyes, and said, "Brother Zheng, you slowly open your eyes and see what this is?" ”

Qu Zheng slowly opened his eyes nervously, and said in a voice that was almost crying: "I can't see clearly." I'm blind. ”

Qu Zheng's four relatives couldn't hold back crying anymore, and even Wanglian and Mochizuki sighed with pity and regret.

Li Jingjing said softly: "Don't worry. You say you can't see clearly, it's not that you can't see, I'm lighting the lamp now, you're looking. ”

Grandma Qu Zheng hurriedly said, "Go and light the oil lamp." ”

Qu Zheng's father walked to the side of the bed with an oil lamp, and Li Jingjing stretched out his palm to Qu Zheng's eyes and shook it back and forth, making him open his eyes.

Qu Zheng was puzzled: "It seems to be paper." ”

Qu Zheng's relatives were sad to wipe their tears when they heard that he actually looked at his hands as paper.

Li Jingjing said: "My palms are close with five fingers, from your point of view, it is similar to paper." ”

Qu Zhengniang raised her hand suspiciously, shook it a few times in front of her eyes, and then went to find the paper and shook it in front of her eyes.

Li Jingjing said firmly: "Brother Zheng's eyes are not blind, but his vision has decreased significantly, and he needs to recover well." You must not be discouraged and sad, let alone despair and weep. ”

Grandpa Qu Zheng stepped forward, snatched the oil lamp in Qu Zheng's father's hand, helped Qu Zheng up, shook the oil lamp in front of his eyes, and asked in a dumb voice: "Zheng, what do you see?" ”

Qu Zheng said softly: "Light." No, it's fire. ”

"Sister Jing, thank you so much. We almost mistook it for a ...... of Zheng Yanzi" Grandma Qu Zheng knelt on the ground and said, "I will kowtow to you, please cure Zheng Yanzi's eyes." ”

Qu Yu and Qu Zheng's father and mother all knelt and kowtowed.

Grandpa Qu Zheng put down the oil lamp and knelt down and said: "Sister Jing, Zheng Yanzi is the lifeblood of our family, at first your medicine saved his life, but this time you saved his eyes, and it only took three days to make a potion so that he could open his eyes and see things." I know that you are a very kind-hearted person, if there is a good medicine, it will definitely be used by Zheng Yanzi, our family is stupid, can't speak, Zheng Yanzi's eyes can be fully restored, it depends on his life, no matter what the result is, you are a great benefactor of our family for a lifetime. ”

Qu Zheng's father said: "You saved the life of Zheng Yanzi, and our husband and wife are willing to make you a cow and a horse, and be your slave." ”

According to the rules of the dynasty, those who are slaves of their fathers and mothers are not allowed to participate in scientific examinations. If it had been placed ten days ago, Qu Zheng's family would never have had such a thought.

Now Qu Zheng is disfigured and his eyes are wasted, even if he is only eight years old, he can't participate in the scientific examination.

After three days and two nights of careful consideration, Qu Zheng's family repaid Li Jingjing for saving Qu Zheng's life, and Qu Zheng's father and mother became her slaves.

Qu Zheng's grandfather and grandmother are old, and their health is not good, so they are not qualified to be slaves to others, and Qu Zheng's family does not want to cause trouble to Li Jingjing.

Wanglian and Wangyue stepped forward to help Qu Zheng's family.

Qu Zheng's family was grateful, but Li Jingjing couldn't take advantage of the fire to rob, shook his head, and said, "Brother Zheng's eyes must recover slowly." As his relatives, you must encourage him and create an environment for him to regain his vision. Uncle and aunt don't say such things again, so that the elder brother has pressure in his heart. ”

Qu Zheng's family is even more grateful.

Qu Zheng choked up and said, "Sister Jing, thank you." ”

Li Jingjing said: "Brother Zheng, you have a good rest, every morning and evening in the eyes of three drops of snake gallbladder bright eye drops, I will come to see you in a few days and bring you ointment to remove scars." ”

Qu Zhengniang asked, "Can Zheng's appearance be restored?" ”

Li Jingjing said conservatively: "Brother Zheng is so young, my injured face is used with my scar removal cream, and the skin grows again, and it should be able to return to its original appearance in a month." ”

Qu Zheng's family was speechless with joy.

Wanglian and Wangyue proudly followed Li Jingjing out of Quzheng's house.

Wanglian looked at the backs of the three Taoist priests a few zhang away in front of her, and said suspiciously: "It seems to be the master of Guangmingzi." ”

Li Jingjing saw that the Taoist priest walking in the middle was wearing a special Taoist robe with shrunken sleeves, and said in her heart: It's Guangmingzi at all. shouted loudly: "Guangmingzi, Happy New Year!" ”

The three Taoist priests turned around at the same time, and the Guangmingzi in the middle, Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, and said loudly: "Pharmacist Li, I'm here to pay you a New Year's greeting." ”

Li Jingjing thought that the other two Taoist priests were Wangfeng and Wangyang, but it turned out to be the master Shi Tong and the martial artist Wangfeng.

It turned out that Chinese New Year's Eve Wangfeng had seen Qu Yu in the Li family, returned to Guanli to ask the Guan master Shi Tong, and after thinking for two days, he finally made up his mind, and today he found Shi Tong and asked him to come to Qujia Village to raise relatives.

It happened that Guangmingzi was going to Shi Tong to ask for medicinal materials, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he improvised to give Li Jingjing a New Year's greeting.

When the three Taoist priests arrived at Li's house, the old patriarch and Qu Kuaishou rushed to hear the news.

When the old patriarch heard that Wangfeng was going to marry his niece Qu Yu as his wife, he began to think that his ears were wrong, and then he took the three Taoist priests to Quyi's house, until Wangfeng took out three silver ingots of ten taels to give a dowry, and then he knew that the Tao was true.

Qu Yu's ex-husband is from Chenjia Village.

Qu Yu was suspended at the beginning of last year, which made the Qu clan lose face, and the Qu clan was very disgusted with Qu Yu's ex-husband's family. The contradiction between Chenjiacun and Qujiacun has intensified.

Although Qu Yi's grandmother Tian is happy, but the family is too poor, Qu Yu's dowry has long been used up, and Qu Zheng has more days to use silver money after studying, whether the thirty taels of silver is for Qu Yu to buy a dowry, or to leave it for Qu Yi.

"I have been in Guanli all the year round, and I am ready to settle my home in Qujia Village." Wang Feng looked at the old patriarch and asked, "Patriarch, I don't know if there are ownerless empty yards and fields in the clan?" ”

The old patriarch had the heart to promote this family affair, and said very sincerely: "Yes, yes, it's not very lucky, if you want to buy it, I'll negotiate with the clan to make it cheaper." ”

Qu Yi's father flickered his eyes and asked, "Uncle, are you talking about the two houses and two acres of land at the head of the village?" ”

The empty yard and ownerless land in the village were originally owned by Wang Mu, who was killed by a poisonous bull last year. The people in the village don't let the children play, let alone buy it.

The old patriarch nodded, "Not bad." Those two rooms are not old, one day to paint the wall, the next day to do a happy event. He glanced at Tian.

What else does Qu Yi's father want to say.

Tian immediately said: "I am happy to do family affairs in the first month. Although I am reluctant to let the rain girl, if I keep her at home again, it will be a harm to her. Now that Daoist Wangfeng sincerely marries Sister Yu, and pities her, he settles his home in the village, and I am very happy in my heart. ”

Wang Feng was praised by the prospective mother-in-law, and it was rare to blush, and he was also a happy person, so he immediately said that he wanted to buy a house and a field, and according to the ultra-low price opened by the old patriarch, he took out eight taels of silver to buy Wang Duba's two houses and two acres of land, and it was also to make Qu Yu down-to-earth, and her name was written on the house deed and land deed.

He and Qu Yu exchanged birthday characters with each other and wrote the marriage book, and the old patriarch and Shi Tong stamped their handprints on the marriage book on the spot.

A few people were laughing and talking about the wedding wine on the sixth day of the first month three days later.

The old patriarch took advantage of Qu Yi's father to go to the kitchen to boil water, and hurriedly followed out of Lu, and said in a low voice: "Nephew, why do you say that I am in a hurry to settle a family matter. ”

Qu Yi's father shook his head. He has a lot of strength, but he is too honest, if he is smart and flexible, his family will not be so poor.

The old patriarch asked earnestly: "If Daoist Wangfeng is an ordinary martial artist in Taiqingguan, can he ask the master of the Stone Tongguan to help him propose marriage?" ”

Qu Yi's father thought about it and nodded.

The old patriarch said solemnly: "This matter has been reported, and within a day, the people of Chenjia Village will be able to know that in order to disturb the relatives of the rain sister, they can shamelessly send a sister who is not married to Daoist Wufeng." ”

The Taoist priests of Taiqingguan have monthly money, and the least of them are more than the farmers who farm, and they have the protection of Taiqingguan, so they don't worry about marrying a wife at all.

In recent years, there are women in Xiaoju Village, Chenjia Village, Taihe Town, and Liuyang County who are married to Taoist priests, but there is no one in Qujia Village.

Before, the old patriarch didn't know the reason for the Dao, but later he asked the eldest son of Taiqingguan to investigate carefully before he learned about the Dao, and only then did he know that the people in Chenjiacun who were lay fireworkers in Taiqingguan always paid attention to the dynamics of single young Taoists, and as long as there were Taoist priests who expressed their intention to marry a wife, they immediately returned to the village to report to the truth.

Li Zheng sent a few girls from the village over and asked the Taoist priest to pick one like goods.

The Taoist priest is also a man, so he naturally likes beautiful young girls, and he has to be so valued by Chenjiacun, so he selects a girl and becomes the son-in-law of Chenjiacun.

Qu Yi's father was full of anger and said, "We must not let Chenjiacun succeed." ”

The old patriarch instructed: "Your mother's brain is faster than yours, strike while the iron is hot to set up a marriage affair for Sister Yu, and the marriage book has been written." Early tomorrow morning, you take the marriage book and go to the town to record, and when the wedding banquet is set up three days later, Sister Yu and Daoist Wu Feng worship the church, and this matter is completely done. ”

Qu Yi's father nodded again and again.

Qu Yu married for the second time, and his mood was more emotional than joyful. When her ex-husband came to give a dowry, everything added up to only five taels of silver, not to mention the considerate and generous purchase of a house and field for her in Qujia Village.

Li accompanied Qu Yu, cried with joy, wiped his tears and said: "My sister has a good life, I met a noble person to help me, and I found such a good family for you." ”

Qu Yu was extremely grateful to Li Laoshi and his wife for pulling the strings, and said softly with a slightly red face: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, there will be more happy events if you laugh more." ”

Guangming Zi was not interested in any family affairs, so he didn't go to Qu Yi's house at all, but went to Qu Zheng's house, rushed into the bedroom, looked at Qu Zheng's condition, and listened to Li Jingjing talk about what medicine he used before and after, and how much dose he used.

Guangmingzi's eyes were eager, and he asked, "Pharmacist Li, is there still snake gallbladder and eye liquid?" ”

Li Jingjing shook her head and said, "I only made one bottle and gave it to Brother Zheng." The spring snake comes out of the hole, you find someone to catch more live snakes, and I can make another bottle for you. ”

Grandfather Li Bing's letter specially instructed her to make fewer new medicines, and she was also afraid that the limelight would be too much and cause disaster to the powerless family, which would slow down the speed of medicine.

Guangming Zi did not doubt him, and said happily: "In addition to the living snake, what medicinal materials do you need, you make a list, and I will get it for you." ”

The next day, the old patriarch gathered more than 20 men of his own clan, painted the two houses in the small courtyard that Qu Yu bought with white ash, built a new kitchen, changed the cattle pen into a miscellaneous house, and put a thick firewood fence on the periphery of the yard, and pasted the red double happiness word on the window, revealing joy everywhere. If the king is dumb and alive, he will not be able to see that this is his home.

Qu Yi's father refused to use Qu Yu's bride price money, and then let her be wronged after getting married because of the low dowry.

He used twenty taels to buy a new carved willow bed, a new set of furniture, four sets of spring and summer bedding in the town, and other dishes, chopsticks, basins, kitchen utensils, etc., together with five taels of silver as a dowry, and the remaining five taels of silver to buy five tables of banquets.

On the first night of marriage, the crying Li had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to buy a new wedding dress for Qu Yu.

Qu Yu can't always wear the wedding dress of the first marriage.

There are girls in the Qu clan who are about to get married, but the wedding dress has been set a long time ago, and the fat and thin size are made according to their own figures, even if they are willing to lend, Qu Yu can't wear them.

The family was so anxious that they didn't know what to do, Li Qu came with Qu's illness and gave Qu Yu the red wedding dress that He had only worn once.

Qu said: "After more than ten years, this wedding dress is still the same as new, your sister-in-law said that if you don't dislike Ming, you will wear it." ”

When He first arrived in Qujia Village, he was skinny and his body bones had not grown, so he hurriedly married Li Laoshi, and the wedding clothes were all made of the best red cloth that Li Bingxian bought in the town.

The He family is now the tallest among the women in the village, and the red wedding dress from many years ago has long been too small to wear, so it is better to give it to those who need it.

Qu Yu said gratefully: "How can I dislike it." Thank you aunt and sister-in-law. ”

Qu patted Qu Yu's thin shoulder and said, "Your sister-in-law and I feel sorry for you, and thank you for being so busy and taking the time to make shoes with mille-feuille soles for the dragon and phoenix fetus." This red wedding dress will be given to you, and another hairpin will be your dowry, and you must wear it on your hair if you remember it. ”

After Qu and Li went to illness, Qu Yu opened the box, and it was a peach blossom silver hairpin inside, and he was moved to cry on the spot.

Qu Yi, Li's, Tian's, and Qu Zheng's father all came over and took a closer look at the silver hairpin.

In order to repay Li Jingjing's great kindness in treating Qu Yi, their family only went to work in the medicine field and the medicine beast circle as soon as they were free, and they never thought of asking the Li family for any benefits, let alone thinking that the Li family would give hard money in such a way.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Qu Yi's family set up several tables of wedding banquets, invited the old patriarch, several relatives and the Li family, sent Qu Yu to the sedan chair to welcome relatives, played gongs and drums in Qujia Village, walked around, and sent him to a new house.

Qu Yu and Wangfeng got married just one day, and the process of family affairs before and after spread to Chenjia Village.

Qu Yu's ex-husband married the bride as early as the second month after Qu Yu divorced, but the bride has not conceived an heir.

Qu Yu's ex-husband's family sent relatives from Xiaoju Village to Qujia Village under the banner of New Year's greetings, and learned that Qu Yu was not pressed by the widowed strange mother-in-law, and there were no troubles with the little uncle and sister-in-law.

Qu Yuqian's mother-in-law scolded viciously: "No matter how good the slut is, she can't lay an egg, and it won't be long before the lustful Taoist will get tired of giving her a vacation!" ”

In the blink of an eye, in March, Qu Zheng's eyes had recovered to be able to see objects within three feet.

Qu Zheng's family joined the team to clean up the medicine field for Li Jingjing and take care of the medicine beast circle, and took care of it with Qu Yi's family, and the very tacit family took turns every day.

There was good news from Qu Yi's family, and Qu Langzhong diagnosed that Qu Yu, who had just been married for two months, was pregnant.

Wangfeng Dao Chang has been looking forward to when she will be pregnant since she personally experienced the red rain of Qu Yu on the day of marriage, and when she heard the news from her eldest brother Qu Yi's father, she was already happy to find the north, and hurried back to Qujia Village from Guanli.

Qu Yu is ten pounds fatter than before she got married, she is a first-time mother, her skin is shiny, the corners of her mouth are often raised with a smile, and her spirit is completely different from the past, and she is even more beautiful than a few years ago.

When Daoist Wangfeng was not at home, his mother-in-law and sister-in-law took good care of Qu Yu, and gave fifteen taels of silver to turn Qu Yi's thatched house into a brick house, and expanded two more rooms.

For a time, Qu Yu became the object of envy of the sisters in the clan.

Wangfeng Dao Chang is meticulous to Qu Yu, in stark contrast to his ex-husband, Qu Yu's pregnancy is the best counterattack to her ex-husband's family, which is equivalent to slapping her ex-husband's face fiercely.

"The livestock family in Chenjia Village spread rumors that Qu Yu in our clan can't give birth, it's all bullshit. Qu Yucai married Wangfeng Dao and became pregnant immediately. ”

"Who can't give birth?"

"Qu Yu's former mother-in-law has a poisonous mouth that can kill people, does not accumulate yin virtue, and gives Qu Yu's daughter-in-law who is so good to rest."

Qu Yu's remarriage is like entering a honey pot from a snake hole, but Qu Yu's ex-husband can't give birth, and the bride who remarries is clumsy and can't even make the simplest thin-soled shoes, let alone shoes with thousand-layer soles. Deserve! ”

The women of the Qu nationality married in various towns and villages in Liuyang County, and quickly spread these words.

Qu Yu's ex-husband finally quietly went to the Wangcheng County Medical Center in Liuyang County to take a look at his body and was told that everything was normal.

It wasn't until the cousin he married later that he was "escorted" by his mother to Taimingguan to find the female physician Daogu to see the body, and the female physician Daogu finally revealed the truth after careful interrogation.

It turned out that Qu Yu's ex-husband was an ignorant rough man, his father died early, and he was the eldest in the family, and no one had ever told him the tricks of sex.

He married two cousins before and after, and after six years of marriage, he actually regarded the excretion hole under the woman as a remote hole.

This cave is not the other cave, but it brings him the same pleasant feeling, so even if he pierces the chrysanthemums of the two cousins, there will be no heirs.

He is an extremely selfish and arrogant person, who does not know how to pity the courtiers, does not use his brain to think about it, and does not go to the doctor.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, especially this kind of thing spreads very quickly, it has become a big miracle within a radius of hundreds of miles, not only Qu Yu's ex-husband, but even the man in Chenjia Village can't raise his head.

The people in the surrounding villages thought that all the men in Chenjia Village were stupid in that regard, and they were extremely disgusting to the cousins, and they were so frightened that they were reluctant to marry their daughters.

There is a family where the woman wants to withdraw from her family, and the object of the withdrawal is the eldest brother of Qu Yu's ex-husband. Qu Yuqian's mother-in-law was so angry that her brain was hot and she went to the county to complain.

Liuyang County ordered the court to hear the case, and when the woman's father angrily said the absurd things about Qu Yu's ex-husband, the people in the hall, including the county order, couldn't hold back their laughter, and the people outside the hall were even more laughing.

With a wave of the county's hand, the dismissal of relatives was invalid, and the woman returned the dowry.

This matter spread to the entire Liuyang County, and even the people in Tanzhou heard about it, causing the Xiucai of Chenjiacun to study in Liuyang County Academy to lose his face, and several students were not good relatives.

Qu Yu's ex-husband's family has plummeted so far, and the people in Chenjia Village have no contact with his family, making it even more difficult for Qu Yu's former brother-in-law and sister-in-law to make things difficult.

When He heard this, he chuckled a few times and said, "I knew today, why bother in the first place." He didn't go to seek medical treatment, and directly abandoned Qu Yu, who had been married for five years and waited for his whole family, which was equivalent to taking Qu Yu's life, which was the retribution he deserved. ”

Li Jingjing's big eyes shone with the light of worship, it turned out that her mother had a chivalrous heart to help the weak.

It is better to demolish ten temples than to demolish a marriage. The matters involved in this case are so bizarre that they have become the talk of people before and after dinner. The county order was praised by officials from Tanzhou Prefecture and even Hunan Province, and he was actually promoted by one level, transferred from Liuyang County, and went to Tanzhou to be an official.

At the end of March, before the county commander left Liuyang County, he sent someone to call the old patriarch.

The county magistrate asked: "Uncle, has your second grandson Qu Dinglin been decided?" ”

The old patriarch suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied: "If you go back to the county to order the adult, Dinglin has never been married. ”

The county commander smiled: "That's a coincidence, my niece is not married now." ”

The county order is called the Jiangye Gang, the ancestor went out to explore the flowers in the previous dynasty, the father is the gentleman of the Tanzhou Academy, the eldest brother was a five-grade official before his death, and the sister-in-law Bai was born in a noble family in Tanzhou.

The eldest brother of the Jiang Ye Gang died at an early age, and the Bai family had a son and a daughter. The son is now studying at Tanzhou Academy, and Qu Dinglin is a classmate and friend, and he showed off his talent in the Tanzhou Mansion Examination last year. The daughter is 17 years old this year, and the man who was married as a child died of illness three years ago.

The object of the Jiang Ye Gang to Qu Dinglin's family affair is his niece Jiang Rong.

It stands to reason that Qu Dinglin is just a showman, his own status is low, and the Qu family is not worthy. Even if Jiang Rong had decided to marry the man before and died early, it would not be Qu Dinglin's turn to marry again.

It's just that Jiang Rong's elder brother knows Qu Dinglin's knowledge and character very well, and Jiang Yebang believes that Qu Dinglin is young and promising, and it is a matter of time before he is admitted to the Jinshi and becomes an official in the court.

Jiang Yegang's father, mother, and sister-in-law secretly investigated Qu Dinglin in Tanzhou Academy, and learned that he was the second son, not the eldest son, and that the cousins did not have to stay in Qujia Village to serve the elders after they got married, so they agreed to marry Jiang Rong to Qu Dinglin.

Last year, the Qu clan had an accident and was sued by the people of Chenjia Village to Tanzhou Mansion, and the Jiang Ye Gang could only postpone this family affair until now.

The old patriarch was not carried away by the joy, and tactfully asked Jiang Rong and the basic situation of the Jiang family, and then made a decisive decision, and said very sincerely: "Three days later, my family went to Tanzhou to invite the official media to the adult's mansion to give a dowry. ”

Jiang Yebang smiled and nodded in agreement.

The two of them got down to business. The Jiang Ye Gang deliberately left the old patriarch for dinner, drank three glasses, and praised the Qu clan for handling emergencies and emergencies properly last year.

The old patriarch listened to the Jiang Ye Gang praise the people who handled the urgent matter three times, and he didn't say that the idea was made by the He family, but just nodded and smiled.

"If the students of the Qu clan want to get ahead, the Qu clan must first improve themselves and have a good reputation." Jiang Ye helped see that the old patriarch was an old man who was simple on the outside and fine on the inside, and proposed that Qu Dinglin's father resign from the Taiqingguan stewardship, and take over the position of the old patriarch in the Hui clan and run the Qu clan well.

The old patriarch thought so, nodded and said, "What the lord said is true." In the second imperial examination of the following year, seven talents of our clan participated in the prefectural examination, and seventeen students participated in the county examination. If our clan wants to do well again, it must not be bad in reputation. ”

Jiang Yebang praised the old patriarch for being able to get through at one point, hinting that when Qu Dinglin and Jiang Rong got married, they would recommend Qu students to Tanzhou Academy.

Tanzhou Academy is one of the best academies in Hunan Province and even the whole country, with a long history and many famous teachers.

Students enter Tanzhou Academy and are admitted with real skills or recommended by celebrities.

Qu Dingshan and Qu Dinglin were admitted to Tanzhou Academy after two examinations with real skills, studied for a few years, participated in the county examination in Liuyang County, and won the first and third.

Qu Chang failed the exam nine times in a row, Qu Duo failed the exam three times in a row, if it wasn't for the Tanzhou government's order to give more places to Qu County to take the exam, he wouldn't have been able to pass the test at all.

It can be seen how difficult Tanzhou Academy is, and after being admitted, the future is immeasurable.

The old patriarch was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, but the Jiang Ye Gang was very easy-going to help him up with both hands.

A few days later, the good news of Qu Dinglin and Jiang Rongding's relatives spread from Qujia Village, and the news hung over the heads of the people of Chenjia Village like a dark cloud.

The head of Chenjia Village, Jian Lizheng, originally wanted to use a trick to ruin the reputation of the Qu clan, so that the seven Xiucai of the Qu clan were implicated and unable to participate in the government examination.

Now that the old patriarch's family is married to the powerful Jiang family in Tanzhou, as long as the Jiang Ye Gang of the Jiang family has a mouth, the new county order of Liuyang can crush Chenjia Village to death.

At present, Chenjia Village must not target Qujia Village, and only after two years will the show of the two villages compete in the government test.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it rained heavily all day, and then entered the hot summer.

At dusk, the sky of Qujia Village is red as if it has been burned, and the clouds are changing shapes at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye.

Two ornate four-wheeled two-horse carriages with white palms and jade pendants hanging on the left side of the door curtain were driven by two middle-aged women wearing women's hairstyles without any headdresses and wearing eighty percent of the new green clothes and black trousers, and slowly drove from the dirt road into the entrance of the village.

Several old men and old women of the Qu clan were sitting next to the pear tree chatting, and when they saw this magnificent carriage that only the rich and noble families of Tanzhou City Mansion have, they thought that the Jiang family, the in-law of the old patriarch, had come, and they were afraid that the etiquette would be wrong and the Jiang family would look down on them, so they all stood up in fear.

The round-faced middle-aged woman got out of the carriage, holding the reins in her hand and speaking in a Tanzhou accent, and asked, "Dare to ask uncles and aunts, where is Li Changsheng's home?" ”

The old woman of the Qu clan, who was plain and neat and could make the officials of Tanzhou Mansion speechless, was dumbfounded, but an old man who didn't like to talk stepped forward and said slowly: "The Li Changsheng you are talking about is Li Honest?" ”

The old men and old women next to them did not come back to their senses.

The round-faced woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this nickname, and said slowly: "Li Changsheng's wife's surname is He." ”

"That's Li Laoshi. His home is at the end of the village. There are medicine beast circles in front and back of the yard, and there are many medicine beasts in the circle, which is easy to recognize. The old man glanced at the jade pendant swaying gently in front of the curtain of the carriage in the summer breeze, and estimated in his heart how much silver it was worth and how many acres of land he could buy.

Two magnificent carriages drove to the end of the village, attracting many adults and children in the village along the way, and the dogs of every family stood at the door and barked at the strange horses with shiny fur, defending the right to the territory.

There was a smell of livestock manure and urine wafting in the air in the distance, and the two women who were driving the car had already seen the brick and tile medicine beast circle exposed on the uphill slope in front, and they were afraid that the nobles in the car would be in a hurry, so they whipped their horses and urged them to move quickly.

A little girl with a bun combed hair, wearing a yellow silk satin blouse and blue trousers, with snow-white skin and bright eyes like stars, and her appearance and temperament were different from the little girl in the village who stood in front of the gate and watched the carriage just now, standing on the side of the village road, holding a small bamboo basket with acacia flowers in her hand, and was looking at the carriage.

The little girl was followed by two middle-aged women who had practiced martial arts, and their eyes were always on her, because they were afraid that the carriage would hit her.

The round-faced woman pulled the reins, dismounted and pointed to the small courtyard where the pear tree poked out of the branches, and asked the little girl with a smile: "May I ask if this is Li Changsheng's home?" ”

Li Jingjing asked rhetorically, "Where are you from and what are you looking for him for?" ”

The round-faced woman would not answer positively, and said, "You don't know about Li Changsheng's home? ”

Li Jingjing showed a harmless smile and nodded, "Zhilu Dao, so I want to ask you." ”

The round-faced woman didn't know how to answer, so she went to look at Wangyue and Wanglian, but was ignored by the two women, so she turned back to the few children who came over and asked, "Do you know Li Changsheng's home?" ”

If it were in another village, the children would have rushed to answer.

This time in Qujia Village, several children shook their heads together and pretended not to know, and then ran to Li Jingjing's side with a smile and surrounded her in the middle.

The curtain of the carriage driven by the round-faced woman was lifted, and a handsome girl with a double maid walked down from inside, dressed exactly the same as the round-faced woman, the difference was that she was wearing a fish-shaped silver earring, looking around, her voice was clear, and her speech was slightly urgent, and she said to herself: "It's really strange, what the old uncle said just now is the small courtyard with a medicine beast circle at the end of the village." ”

The beautiful girl was about to enter the small courtyard to ask, when a little boy wearing a beige half-sleeved short coat, blue trousers, thick eyebrows and big eyes ran out of the courtyard, saw the two-horse carriage at a glance, and said excitedly: "Little uncle, come and see the big carriage." ”

Li Quzhi came out and said, "Xiao Yanzi, you just had a meal, don't run in a hurry and hurt your stomach." ”

The nobleman in the carriage listened to the three words "Xiao Lingzi", and couldn't help it anymore, so that the slave maid opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing a beautiful but haggard face like a hibiscus, with bright eyes, the red lips with rouge were very attractive, and the black hair was combed into a conical bun, and he only wore a cyan jade hairpin, but it was elegant and noble.

The square-faced woman put the small square stool on the uneven dirt road with a very eye-catching look, and a middle-aged slave with an ordinary appearance and a big black mole with mung beans on the tail of her eyebrows came down first, and then stood aside, helping the noble man to get out of the carriage with both hands.

The nobleman was wearing a purple silk dress with dark embroidered moire, a butterfly-shaped white jade pendant tied around his waist, and beige cotton shoes embroidered with small purple flowers under his feet, looking twenty-five or six years old, and his figure was very thin, as if the weak willows by the pond would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Li Jingjing's friends have never seen such a beautiful and noble woman, and they are all dumbfounded.

The men and women in the village not far away were ashamed of themselves when they saw the back and side of the nobleman, and how dare they run to a closer look.

The noble man looked at the little boy who was not afraid that the horse wanted to touch the horse's hair but was stopped by the young man, and called tentatively, "Li Yunxiao? ”

"Hmm." Li Yunxiao reflexively agreed, looked over Shunyin, and saw the noble man lifting his long skirt lightly with both hands, with an excited smile on his face, and walking over quickly with tears in his big eyes, but he was not afraid to greet him.

The noble man walked to him, happily picked up the little meat ball Li Yunxiao, his arms were in pain, and he refused to let go, kissed his fat cheek, spoke Chang'an, the official language of the Dingchao court, and said softly: "Xiaolang, my baby nephew, I am your aunt, your mother's sister, you take me to see your mother." ”

"Oh, I have an aunt." Li Yunxiao smelled the faint fragrance of flowers on the nobleman's body, and did not suspect that her words were false, giggled happily, and shouted towards the small courtyard: "Mother, aunt is here, come out quickly." ”

Li Quzhi was a little shy by the beautiful girl, picked up Li Jingjing, who came over, and followed the nobleman and Li Yunxiao into the small courtyard.

Li Jingjing didn't want outsiders to know about the private affairs of the family, especially about the He family, so she waved her hand at her friends and said with a smile: "I'll go play with you tomorrow." ”

He had just finished shabu-shabu, and he was still holding an old loofah for shabu-shabu in his hand, and when he came out of the dimly lit kitchen, he saw a few more women in the middle of the courtyard, and his eyes fell on the noble man holding Li Yunxiao and froze.

The nobleman and the He family looked at each other, and suddenly cried at the same time, one called "Yi Niang", the other called "sister", and ran to each other, just hugging each other next to the green orange tree and crying bitterly, and there was a bewildered Li Yunxiao in the middle.

Qu heard such a big movement in the bedroom, quickly put away the silver ticket, straightened his clothes before coming out, and saw He and a noble man who had never met each other hugging and crying, and asked in fright: "What's going on?" Sister Yi, what happened? ”

The middle-aged slave maid with a mole was wiping her tears, and when she saw Qu's, she hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Are you the old lady in the house?" ”

"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Qu was asked inexplicably, when did the Li family become a mansion, she was just a middle-aged mother-in-law, that is, she was not old and not a lady.

Li Jingjing said loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, my aunt found our house and came to recognize my mother." They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there were many words in their hearts that they couldn't say, and they all turned into tears and cried. ”

Qu had never heard He say that he had a sister before, and he was very surprised, and he stepped forward to take a closer look at the noble man with tears on his face, and felt that there were only three points of similarity.

Among the four slaves and maids brought by the nobles, the delicate girl and the woman with moles accompanied the He family and the nobles to cry.

Li Jingjing thought of the grief-stricken crying of the He family when they paid tribute to their relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and when she saw the nobles today, she must have remembered the past of the year, and said: "Xiao Yanzi, don't let your mother and aunt cry." Let them go into the house and sit and drink water and talk. ”

Li Yunxiao was annoyed by the two women crying in their ears, and shouted: "It's so noisy, I want to go down to the ground to play!" ”

Only then did the He family and the nobles accept their cries, and in an instant, the courtyard returned to tranquility.

He Shi introduced Qu Shi, Li Quzhi, and Li Jingjing to the nobles, and said excitedly: "Sister, my husband Li Changsheng and eldest son Li Yunqing are in Taiqingguan. ”

The nobleman looked at Li Jingjing with doting eyes, and just now he heard Li Jingjing's words in the sedan chair, and praised: "It turns out that you are the Jing Niang in the dragon and phoenix womb, what a smart and clever little lady." ”

Li Jingjing's voice was soft and glutinous, and she shouted, "Aunt." ”

This voice melted the nobleman's heart, and he nodded at Li Jingjing.

Qu Shixi said: "It turns out that you are the sister of the in-laws. ”

The noble man slowed down and said slowly: "Auntie, my name is He Huishu, and I am twins with Yi Niang. ”

When Qu Shi heard this, his eyes were surprised, and he said excitedly: "You and Sister Yi are twins." You sisters haven't seen each other for many years, and it's a great joy to meet you today. ”

If the He family is allowed to wear a gorgeous dress and comb a high bun, his temperament is no less than that of a nobleman. But the nobleman looked several years older than He's.

The nobles didn't say it, Qu really couldn't guess that she and He were twin sisters born on the same day, the same month, and the same year.

Li Jingjing had countless questions in her heart, but this was not the time to ask, so she turned her head and said, "Wanglian, I bother you to go to Taiqingguan and invite my father and brother back." ”

"Okay." Wanglian immediately walked out of the small courtyard quickly.

Two middle-aged women who were driving horses walked to Mochizuki's side one after another, and the square-faced woman asked, "Are you the martial arts aunt of Taimingguan?" ”

Mochizuki nodded, "Not bad." Who are you? ”

The square-faced woman said excitedly: "We are the martial arts aunt of Qingyun Temple. I'm Wangtan, and she's Wangming. ”

Mochizuki exclaimed: "It turns out that you are from Qingyun Temple, no wonder you walk silently. ”

Wangtan asked in a curious low voice, "Why are you and that fellow Daoist just now here?" ”

The nobleman's mansion has a very high status, so even the governor of Hunan Province has to give three points of courtesy, Qingyunguan is ordered by the Taoist headquarters Baiyun Guanguan Lord, to send two martial arts aunts to the nobleman's mansion to protect the safety of important female dependents.

Wang Tan couldn't imagine what would be the reason for the Li family's family background to allow the two martial arts aunts to guard here.

Mochizuki replied with pride on his face, "We are on the orders of the Lord to protect the safety of Pharmacist Li day and night. ”

Qu invited the nobleman to sit in the hall, and the nobleman was very polite and let the elder of Qu take the first step.

At this time, He Shi found that he was still holding the old loofah with a bowl in his hand, so he hurriedly put it back in the kitchen, washed his hands, went out of the kitchen and beckoned Li Jingjing, picked her up and entered the hall.

The two sisters sat in the hall with their arms in their arms and talked, but instead of weeping bitterly as before, they wept silently, and the tears fell on the clothes of the two brothers and sisters in their arms, and they were wet.

Li Quai's sensible person lit the oil lamp early, afraid that the nobles would think the light was dim, so he took four candles and lit them, but they attracted mosquitoes and moths.

He said: "There are many mosquitoes in the countryside. There are medicinal beasts at home, which smell heavy in summer and attract mosquitoes. ”

"You remember that I love cleanliness." The nobleman's eyes fell on He's radiant and very young face, thinking of He's shabu-shabu just now, I'm afraid that he has done a lot of housework over the years, but he is so young and has an excellent complexion, and then looks at Qu's kind face, he knows that although He's days are hard, he is not tired and tired, and he lives very happily.

He asked excitedly, "Sister, how did you find me?" ”

The noble man took the handkerchief handed by the beautiful maiden slave Xiaoqing, and said: "Last year, I stood at the height of the Qingyunguan Sending Zi Niangniang Hall and saw you, my brother-in-law, and Xiaolang. I looked like you, so I screamed, you turned around, I was about to call again, Xiao Lang didn't know what to say, you three walked quickly. When I hurried out of the city, I saw you gone. ”

He said in Chang'an: "I heard your voice at the time, but I couldn't remember who it was, it happened that Xiaolang's mille-feuille shoes were lost, and he called, and my husband and I were afraid of crowding, and we didn't dare to look back, so we went out." ”

Guidaodao: "I went back to the house and wrote a letter to Xinglang's grandfather, begging him to help me find your whereabouts, and I received a reply a few days ago, telling you your address and situation. I longed to fly over to meet you, but there was something to deal with in the house, and I had to wait for something good to do, so I came out of the house to see you. ”

He smiled and asked, "What are you going to do to send your son to the Niangniang Palace?" ”

The nobleman's face was slightly red and said, "When I am old, the old lady in the house has to force me to go there every other season to worship." What about you? ”

He pointed at Li Yunxiao and said, "Oh, I'm taking him to play." ”

Li Jingjing smiled at Li Yunxiao and said, "Xiao Yanzi, if you hadn't made a fuss about going to the palace to send your son, your aunt and mother wouldn't have seen each other." ”

Li Yunxiao nodded beautifully, sat obediently in the arms of the nobleman, and did not shout to go outside to play.

When the two sisters spoke, Qu couldn't interject, and he didn't want to disturb their reunion, and when he learned that the nobles and his party had not eaten, they went to the kitchen to prepare food.

The middle-aged slave and maid named Sister-in-law He who had a mole chased after her and said sincerely: "The old lady can't help it, let the slave and maid do these rough work, please come to the house to rest." ”

Qu said with a smile: "It's the first time you came, and you are not familiar with my family, so you can help me today, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Seeing Qu's so easy-going, Sister-in-law He was happy that He had such an easy-going and diligent mother-in-law. She and Xiaoqing helped Qu cook together.

Li Quzhi moved a stool and sat in the courtyard to cool off, and when he saw Wangtan and Wangming going in and out of the unloading cart, he went to help.

Wangtan said: "The second master doesn't do anything, just tell us where to put these things." ”

Li Quzhi thought that it was a gift from his sister-in-law's relatives, so he asked them to put all their things in the bedroom of Li Laoshi and his wife.

Li Jingjing pointed to the fresh peaches on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall and said, "Auntie, eat the fruit." ”

The noble man smiled and shook his head, and said, "Aunt doesn't like to eat cold things, so you can eat some if you like." My aunt also brought you some fruit. ”

He asked, "Sister, I heard you talk about Xinglang just now, but he is my nephew?" ”

The nobleman said: "I have been married to your brother-in-law for many years, and I only have one son, Xinglang. Xinglang's name Qin Minxing, eleven years old this year, was admitted to Xiucai last year, and is now studying at Tanzhou Academy. ”

He Shixi said: "Sister is really blessed, Xinglang is so smart and studious, he will definitely be able to pass the government test in the next year." ”

The noble man said softly: "Xinglang's grandfather, Qin Xionghuang, was canonized by His Majesty more than ten years ago. ”

The founding of the Ding Dynasty and the feudal prince came over with a slap. Qin Xionghuang's ancestral home is in Tanzhou Mansion, and everyone in Hunan Province knows that the ancestors of the former dynasty were robbers, and the Qin family produced a grandfather from the first grade.

He's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "It turns out that it was Qin Guogong who sent someone to rescue you that night. ”

The nobleman nodded, shook his head lightly, and pointed his finger at the two dragon and phoenix fetuses, signaling that the events of the year should not be heard by the children.

What He understood was no longer mentioned.

The nobleman said: "Xinglang's eldest uncle, Qin Nan, is the son. Xinglang's father, who is also your brother-in-law Qin Yue, is now General Ning Yuan under the positive fifth grade, and I am stained with your brother-in-law's light, and I have a decree under the positive fifth grade. ”

Li Jingjing was in a complicated mood, looked up at He, and saw her showing a sincere smile.

He looked at him calmly and said, "Sister, you must already know the situation in my family. Your brother-in-law is now working as a tent in Taiqingguan, and your eldest nephew Qinglang is working as an account in Taiqingguan Pharmacy. ”

Li Yunxiao shouted: "Mother, you forgot to say that your sister is a pharmacist." ”

"Yes." He smiled and leaned over to kiss Li Jingjing's forehead, and said proudly: "Sister, your niece Jingniang has a pharmacist clerk who can make medicine." ”

The noble man said very seriously: "Yi Niang, you are more blessed than me, and you will definitely be rich in the future." ”

He asked with concern: "Sister, I see that your body is a little thinner." ”

The noble man sighed lightly and said, "My body is not very good. ”

He couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, is he good to you?" ”

"It's okay now, but I won't know what to do in the future." The noble man looked at He Shi and said softly, "My brother-in-law must be very good to you. ”

He nodded and said, "Except for the fact that he doesn't often go home to do things in the temple, everything else satisfies me." ”

The noble man said sincerely: "Contentment and happiness, you are right to think so." ”

Qu's prepared a meal, three dishes and one soup, based on the preferences of the nobles, less oil and more vegetarian, without chili pepper and garlic, stir-fried shredded kidney beans, locust flower fried egg, slippery fungus lettuce slices, mushroom jade half slice soup.

Xiaoqing entered the hall and greeted the nobles, and then the meal was served to the table of the Eight Immortals. Even if it's outside, it will definitely not break the rules. The nobleman ate alone in the hall, and Xiaoqing waited on the side. Sister-in-law He, Wangyun, and Wangming set up a low table in the small courtyard outside to eat.

At this time, it was already dark, and Li Qu was afraid that the three of his sister-in-law would not be able to eat in the courtyard, so he deliberately moved a candle from the hall and put it on the low table.

Sister-in-law He hurriedly got up and thanked her.

Li went to help Qu clean up the guest room, put on a clean bedding, and then went to find wormwood to smoke away mosquitoes in the guest room, and then went to the kitchen to boil water to bathe the nobles.

The nobles looked at everything Qu and Li Qu's doing.

She didn't post it in advance, and she didn't bring a message, but she suddenly came to see what kind of life He had lived in the Li family, and whether she had suffered and been bullied.

Deng came to Li's house with two live chickens in one hand and said, "I saw that your house came to the carriage, it must be a distinguished guest, your brother asked me to bring four fat chickens over and let you slaughter them for your guests." ”

After half an hour's effort, more than a dozen waves of people have gone to Qu's house to inform Qu Kuaishou, and even the old patriarch has gone. They told the ladies and guests, slaves and maids and two-horse carriages from the Li family in detail.

When Qu Kuaishou heard that they were all female guests, Qu didn't come to call him, and felt that it was inappropriate to rush over, so he sent Deng to bring the chicken.

He had already instructed Qu not to talk to anyone about the nobles.

Qu Shi knew how to be sloppy, and said vaguely: "It's Sister Yi's relative in the field, and I've been looking for Sister Yi for many years, and I've just found it." ”

Deng asked, "Does this relative have five suits?" ”

Qu shook his head and said, "I don't know." They all spoke northern dialect, and I didn't understand a word. ”

Deng stood outside the kitchen and listened for a while, and He's voice occasionally came from the hall, what kind of mother and lang, I really couldn't understand it.

Qu sent Deng away, and saw that two of the four chickens were big roosters, and he was afraid that the rooster would croak in the morning and disturb his sister's sleep.

She greeted Li Jingjing, put the chickens in the medicine beast pen, and waited until tomorrow during the day to slaughter the chickens and burn them for her sister-in-law.

The night is drooping, the moon is on the tip, the cicadas are chirping, the frogs are calling, and the people of the small village are singing.

After the nobleman bathed in rice, he changed into a gorgeous light blue dress, his hair was simply coiled in a slanted bun, and he sat in the courtyard and whispered to He.

Li went to take a bath for Li Yunxiao when he was sick. Qu wanted to give Li Jingjing a bath, but was rejected again.

At this time, Li Laoshi, Li Yunqing, and Wanglian came back sweating profusely.

The nobleman saw Li Lao in the moonlight, nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with his brother-in-law's appearance.

Just now, the noble man has heard from his sister that his brother-in-law is three years younger than his sister, and this is a little son-in-law.

Li Yunqing has seen countless noble ladies and young ladies in the view, and none of them can surpass the noble person in front of him in terms of temperament and demeanor, so he made a big salute, looked respectful, and said loudly: "Yunqing greets my aunt." ”

The noble man said happily: "This is Qinglang, he is already so old, only one year older than my family Yelang, but he is half a head taller." ”

He smiled: "Your family is still a talent." ”

The noble man took out a transparent white jade pendant from his purse and put it in Li Yunqing's hand. Li Yunqing saw He's nod, so he happily accepted it.

Li honestly smiled and said, "Sister." ”

The noble man replied and asked, "Your brother-in-law is seven years older than you." Have you ever practiced martial arts? ”

Li honestly replied: "I started practicing martial arts at the age of ten, and it has been sixteen years since then. ”

He said: "Sister, you have been in the carriage for a day, and you have long been sleepy, and you have seen them too, so go and rest." ”

The nobleman has not slept all the time, just to wait to see his brother-in-law and nephew.

Li Yunqing said: "Auntie, what my mother said is, you go to rest, nourish your spirits, and talk to my mother tomorrow." ”

The nobleman was completely relieved, and although the Li family did not get the wealth they deserved and lived an aristocratic life at the moment, the Li family was very good to the He family, and all the children of the He family were good, and the He family was really living a good life as she said.

The noble man took He's hand and said, "You have to accompany me today." I have a lot to say to you. ”

Many years ago, the sisters slept in one bed, and read in the same room, embroidered, played the piano, talked and laughed, and never jealous and hurt each other since they were born, and their family affection was as deep as the sea.

He never thought that the miserable God would finally let the He family go, let her reunite with the noble sisters, and be able to share the bed and talk about her heart again on such a quiet night.

Tears welled up in her eyes, causing the nobleman's nose to sour and cry.

Li Jingjing hugged He's thigh and said, "Mother, you haven't bathed yet, then go quickly, don't bathe and sleep and smoke your aunt at night." ”

The noble man wiped his tears and said, "I won't dislike your mother." ”

He broke into tears and smiled, greeted Qu's family, and went to the guest room with the fragrant nobleman on his body, leaving Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing who hurried back aside.

In the dead of night, there was a loud cry in the guest room, and the nobleman and He Shi were lying on their sides on the bed, facing each other and clasping their hands tightly.

Many years ago, on a winter night, in the dark and cold cell of Chang'an, the last night of their separation, they sat on the ground covered with bloodstained hay, huddled and emaciated close together.

More than a dozen criminal officials and their families in the same cell have been taken away by officers and soldiers, and they are all sent to be official servants or military prostitutes.

Those women were the wives and daughters of high-ranking nobles and officials in Chang'an City, and they spoke elegantly, were proficient in poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting, and had a noble status.

The woman with a fierce personality was three years older than them, and her body was already developed, and she was touched on the chest by the officers and soldiers, and she was violently hit by the wall at that time.

The noble man said softly: "Yi Niang, do you remember your mother's last words?" ”

He Shi recalled that his biological mother was six months pregnant but had to swallow poison and died, tears welled up, and he choked up: "You must live and keep the bloodline of the He family." ”

"We all survived." The noble man sighed lightly, "But how can we keep the bloodline of the He family." ”

There was a sudden silence in the room, and the sisters knew it.

The noble man is now the original wife of the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, and her status is there, even if she gives birth to ten children, it is impossible for one of them to follow her surname He, not to mention that she is in such poor health, and it will kill her if she is pregnant and has a child again.

The He family gave birth to two boys and a girl, and Li honestly listened to her, but the Qu family values the heirs very much, and will definitely not agree to the grandchildren to change their surname to He, only by waiting for Li Bing to come back can they open their mouths to mention this matter, and whether it can be done in the end depends entirely on Li Bing.

After a long time, He Shi's teary eyes were gloomy, and he said: "Sister, your body is not very good, let Jing Niang take the pulse for you." ”

The noble man asked curiously: "How did Jing Niang become a pharmacist at such a young age?" ”

As soon as He Shi talked about his little daughter, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he was excited and proud to start from Li Jingjing's little by little interest in medicinal herbs, and until he said that Yuan Hongzi, the chief pharmacist of Baiyunguan Taoism, accepted Li Jingjing as a registered disciple on his behalf.

The nobleman listened attentively, sometimes smiling and sometimes admiring. When the noble man talked about his only son, He also listened with a smile.

Unconsciously, the sisters talked about their husbands, and the nobleman said: "I told your brother-in-law on the night of my marriage, if you take a concubine, I will invite myself to the court." He has people out now, but he doesn't take them home. I turned a blind eye. ”

He sighed lightly and persuaded: "Sister, with the identity and status of a brother-in-law, it can be seen that I still respect you." ”

The noble man said lightly: "Out of sight is pure." I don't know what he does to me, I don't care about him. My heart is devoted to teaching Xinglang. ”

He nodded approvingly: "Mother is more expensive than son." Sister, you're right to think so. ”

The next day, He woke up before the nobleman, and when he saw that it was already the third pole of the sun, he shook the nobleman awake and said with a smile: "You still said that you woke up before me." ”

The noble man yawned and said vaguely: "I used to sleep very lightly in the house, why did I sleep so deeply at your house, I didn't even have a dream." ”

How did she know that Li Jingjing had quietly put a calming powder to help her sleep in the water she drank last night.

He leaned over and hugged the nobleman intimately, and said coquettishly: "Sister, you stay in my house for a few more days, I have a lot to say to you." ”

The noble man lazily lifted his red and swollen eyelids that were crying and closed them again, stretched out his hand to stroke He's black hair, and said, "Your mother-in-law indulges you, and you don't have to worry about big or small things in the family." I don't have your good life, although my mother-in-law is in Chang'an, but my mother-in-law's mother-in-law in Tanzhou Mansion wants me to wait, and a large family is waiting for my tribe to work. ”

The noble man told He last night.

The serious Guogong Mansion is in Chang'an, and the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion lives in the Ming family, the biological mother of Qin Guogong.

The Ming family only gave birth to a son of Qin Guogong, and he was sent to his death by Qin Guogong. More than ten years ago, Qin Guogong took the Ming family to Chang'an, and the Ming family suffered from the disease of water and soil adaptation, and it is said that even the queen mother could not be cured.

Qin Guogong had no choice but to send the Ming family back to Tanzhou and arrange for his second son Qin Yue to do his filial piety in front of the Ming family. At that time, Qin Yue had already married the nobleman, and the Ming family was too old to worry about it, so the nobleman became the head of the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion, and all the big and small things in the mansion were arranged by her.

The noble man has a delicate heart, not only good learning, but also good family management. Ming was full of praise for the nobleman.

Although there is no one in the noble family, the reputation of the family is very good and the prestige is very high when the family is alive, and the celebrities of the opening and setting dynasties are highly respected. In order to correct the name of her mother's family, she wrote a collection of poems, which was approved by Emperor He Dong and rewarded by the queen.

The ancestor of the Qin State was a robber, and what the entire Guogong Mansion lacked was fame, and the nobles just won the reputation of the Guogong Mansion. Qin Guogong was very satisfied with the noble daughter-in-law.

Later, the nobleman had a son, and the son was still very competitive.

The nobles have a good life in Tanzhou Guogong Mansion on the whole, but they are worried and tired.

Qu got up early and cooked the meal. Xiaoqing and Sister-in-law He were so ashamed that they continued to acknowledge the crime.

He got up and used a little, then asked Xiaoqing to take it down, and when the nobleman got up and finished washing, Sister-in-law He and Xiaoqing had already made lunch.

Li Jingjing looked at the noble man with wide eyes, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, you don't eat breakfast at home?" ”

The nobleman blushed and said, "I'm just so casual in your house." I wake up very early at my house. ”

Li Jingjing circled around the nobleman, "I don't believe it." ”

The noble man explained: "Really. I wake up early at home and have some snacks. ”

Li Jingjing smiled: "My mother wants me to check your pulse, just wait for you to have lunch." ”

Li Yunqing came back from the school, saluted the nobles, cleaned his hands, and the Li family began to eat.

It was as hot as a steamer outside at noon, and the cicadas were screaming irritably, which could not affect the good mood of the Li family in the slightest.

The host and guest sat at two tables in the hall, and the four slaves and maids brought by the nobles, the martial arts aunt and the two martial arts aunts of the Li family sat at the second table.

There are ten dishes on the main table, six dishes on the second table, and fried fried bacon and dog meat, braised grass carp, elbow flower in cold sauce, and fried bamboo shoots on the second table.

Qu was about to speak, and He shook his head lightly.

The noble man beckoned to Xiaoqing and said, "You come here to set up a meal according to the rules of the Li Mansion." After that, the meals at both tables will be the same. ”

Xiaoqing replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Li Yunxiao gloated and grimaced at Xiaoqing.

The noble man couldn't help laughing, reached out lovingly and touched Li Yunxiao's hair, and said to He: "Xinglang was as lively and naughty as Xiaolang when he was a child, and then I completely changed his control. ”

He said: "My nephew who has not met is a young talent in the examination, and he must be good." You must bring him over next time for me to see. ”

The noble man nodded and said, "Waiting for the closure of the Great Summer Academy, I will bring him to your house for a few more days." ”

Qu Shi looked at the sisters' eyes that were red and swollen from crying, and said thoughtfully: "Sister in-law, if it is inconvenient for you to come to the village, let Sister Yi take Xiao Yanzi and Sister Jing to Tanzhou to see you." ”

Li Yunxiao exclaimed excitedly: "Okay." I'm going to my aunt's house to play. ”

He and the nobles were very happy, and they were all thanks to Qu.

Xiaoqing and Sister-in-law He at the second table were also very happy when they saw the nobles smiling frequently.

The host and guest were eating lunch lively, when they heard the rapid crying of more than a dozen men and women outside.

An old and anxious old man's voice sounded in the courtyard, "Sister Zhu, is your sister Jing here, please ask her to save your sixth uncle's only grandson." ”

Another grieving old man's voice sounded, "Sister Zhu, please save your province and let your sister Jing save my grandson who is suffering from life, he is about to die." ”

Qu didn't care about touching the oil on his mouth, and took the lead to leave the dining table and go outside the house.

He Shi said to the noble man with a surprised face: "Sister, I am here to ask Jing Niang for medicine, you are sitting in the hall and eating." Let's go outside and take a look. ”

Li Jingjing said: "Auntie, don't be afraid. ”

The noble man nodded and said, "Don't worry." My aunt is very bold and will not be afraid. ”

The Li family put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the hall, the nobleman was very calm, still eating elegantly, and Xiao Qing, who was standing behind her, did not move half a step.
