As soon as it was dawn, I heard a busy sound outside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I rolled over and got up, and the four handmaidens waiting by the bed knelt on the ground in good training, and I waved them to their feet. Standing up, the maid began to change my clothes, wearing a long brocade white dress.

“…… Mrs. Zhaohua. Yuwen Shiliang knocked on the door outside the room and shouted carefully.

I gave the maid standing furthest away, and she turned and opened the door.

Yuwen Shiliang hunched over and walked into the room, and was about to kneel down at my feet. "Cao Minyu Wen Shiliang pays a visit to Mrs. Zhaohua."

"Alright, get up." I glanced at him, and asked him to get up, the maids had already dressed me neatly, and I was about to make up, but I motioned for them to stop first, "You go out and wait first, this palace and the second uncle have something to say." ”

The maid hesitated, Yuwen Shiliang got up and warned, "Don't go out yet." ”

The four maids then bowed out of the room.

Yuwen Shiliang came back to his senses and waited flatteringly, "What else does Mrs. Zhaohua have to order?" ”

"Where is Chang Yuan?" I asked, because I knew that Hou Yue would definitely not leave the guards so irresponsibly, and it was impossible for him to be asleep at this time.

"I heard from the next man, and the general went out before dawn. Maybe you think everything around here is new, so let's go out and play. Yuwen Shiliang thought for a moment before replying, "Are you looking for a general?" Otherwise, I'll send some people to the village to look for them. ”

"No need." I blocked the exit, Hou Yue started marching and fighting a few years ago, he had never seen anything, how could this village be interested. "Second uncle looking for me, I don't know why?"

"Madam, don't dare to be a ......" Yuwen Shiliang was startled and wanted to kneel again.

"You don't have to be afraid of me, after worshipping our ancestors today, my brother and I should really be from the Yuwen family. should call you a second uncle, you just bear it. "I didn't take the initiative to help him, but just explained this.

"Well, whatever you say is what it is." Yuwen Shiliang didn't dare to refute me, and nodded again and again. "I'm here just to remind you that in another hour, we'll set off towards the ancestral temple."

"That's right." I suddenly thought of something, "Are you the only one in this family who knows the true identity of me and Chang Yuan?" ”

He was startled and hurriedly explained. "Only I know that when my eldest brother died, Guilan was still young. Shuhua has just gotten married again, and they don't know about the eldest brother's situation. I told them that the eldest brother dragged his family into the city in order to treat his sister-in-law, but the illness was not cured, the sister-in-law died in the city, and the eldest brother's sons were also abducted, and the eldest brother fell ill when he came back, and he went not long after. ”

"Are they credible?" I don't dare to make a mistake in this matter.

"Believe, they all believe, you can rest assured. Enough of these hard days, it's too late to be happy to meet such a big Buddha as you at home. Yuwen Shiliang replied tremblingly with a hunched waist.

"Actually, I have one more thing." I glanced at him and turned to sit down in front of the vanity mirror.

"You say." He quietly looked up, lest he miss every word I said.

"It stands to reason that this person in charge of the house should not be passed down from generation to generation? Earlier, his father passed away for some reason, and the Yuwen family must not be without a person in charge, and he can understand the good intentions of the second uncle to bear the family. Now that my brother and I are back, after worshipping our ancestors, we will know that my brother and I are the bloodline, if the second uncle is still unwilling to hand over the responsibility of being the housekeeper to my younger brother who is the eldest son of the lineage, isn't it clear that the world will doubt our identity. I looked left and right at the bronze mirror and said nonchalantly.

"This ......" Yuwen Shiliang hesitated, "Mrs. Zhaohua is right, I will go and discuss with the general and hand over the position of head to the general." ”

Through the bronze mirror, I could see his uncomfortable expression clearly, and said with a smile, "Second uncle doesn't have to mind, my younger brother is a general in Yu Palace, so he doesn't have time to run back and forth." It's just a name, to put it bluntly, isn't the power of the Yuwen family's stewardship to be competent by the second uncle. ”

Yuwen Shiliang thought about it again before he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's all good, it's all good, it's all listening to Mrs. Zhaohua, and what Mrs. says is what it is."

I chuckled.

"It's just," Yuwen Shihao seemed to be playing with some idea, "Mrs. Zhaohua and the general are both figures with heads and faces in the court, and now they are under the Yuwen family tree, which also makes the lintel of my Yuwen family glorious." Can ......"

"If the second uncle has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, you and I are not outsiders." I could see his thoughts, so I said.

Yuwen Shiliang said with a smile, "Since this is the case, I won't hide it, I just want to ask you, you see, since we are a family with you." Wouldn't that allow us to move to Mucheng as well? ”

"It's natural." I have already seen through his intentions, "But now is not the time, you see, my brother and I have just recognized each other, and I will bring you to the city when I go back to worship my ancestors, and it is inevitable that people will gossip." Say it doesn't matter to us, in case it gets involved with you, I'm afraid your old face won't be able to hang up. ”

"Yes, yes......" Yuwen Shiliang hurriedly replied.

"What's more, the house that has just been built, this is too wasteful." I said euphemistically, "But don't worry, I know what you mean, my brother and I will definitely not treat the Yuwen family badly." When your brother has a private house outside the palace, he will take your old man over to care for the elderly, and even now, you can take your family to the palace to walk around during the New Year's holidays, isn't it? ”

"Hey, it's still Mrs. Zhaohua's delicate thoughts, I'm here, I'm all listening to Mrs. Yuwen Shiliang smiled.

"That," I raised my hand and nodded, thinking for a moment, "Xia Zhen, right?" The second uncle's daughter, is it called Xia Zhen? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Yuwen Shiliang responded.

"She has clear eyebrows, calm and generous, and I like her a little. How old is it? I asked.

"Back to Mrs., Xia Zhen's girl is nine years old this year." Yuwen Shiliang saw that I liked Xia Zhen, and he was also proud.

I nodded. "Well, the age is just right. It's a pity for someone like her to stay in this village and wait to marry an ordinary village rougher. After a pause, he said, "When I came before, my personal maid was unfortunately killed, I saw that Xia Zhen was good, if the second uncle is willing, how about I take Xia Zhen away after worshipping the ancestors?" ”

Yuwen Shiliang was naturally happy, "Cheng, Cheng!" If Xia Zhen's girl enters the palace with you, it will be much better than staying here. ”

"Sister!" As he was talking, Hou Yue pushed the door and came in.

Yuwen Shiliang turned around and saluted Hou Yue, "General! ”

Hou Yue helped him up, then walked over, looked at Yuwen Shiliang suspiciously, and asked, "Why, Second Uncle is here?" ”

"The second uncle came to remind me to hurry up and prepare. What about you? Are you all ready? I looked at Hou Yue.

Hou Yue patted himself, explained to me, and then leaned back on the dresser.

I turned around and said to Yuwen Shiliang, "Since there is nothing else to do, please ask the second uncle to let the maid come in and dress up for me." ”

"Yes." Yuwen Shiliang said, and then walked out of the room.

"Where did you just go?" I asked Hou Yue.

"This ......" Hou Yue was embarrassed to say. Seeing that I chuckled, knowing that I didn't mean to ask the truth, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "What the hell is he here for?" ”

"I'll ask him to hand over the power of the Yuwen family to you." I saw that Hou Yue was puzzled and wanted to ask, so I pulled him and asked him to be quieter. "Think about it, if the power is still in his hands, I don't know how he will kill the villagers here."

Hou Yue did not refute.

At this time, the maid walked in, Hou Yue got out of the way from the dresser, and I saw from the bronze mirror that Yuwen Shiliang called Hou Yue over.

……

Saying that it is an ancestor worship is much simpler than I imagined. It's just that from the beginning of leaving the gate of Yuwen's house, this sentence was accompanied by the villagers, as if even the whole village came, and followed the team to the ancestral temple of the Yuwen family.

Hou Yue stepped forward and opened the temple door under instructions.

A group of people knelt in the ancestral temple and let go of the two most central positions. Hou Yue and I entered the ancestral temple one after the other and knelt down.

Under the auspices of the elders of the village, they began to worship with incense.

"Sister, I'll go out for a while." Someone behind him moved over in a half-squatting position and said a few words in Hou Yue's ear, and Hou Yue whispered something to me.

I continued to hold the incense and listened to the elders chanting the sacrificial words, and nodded.

Hou Yue handed the incense in his hand to the person next to him, and then quietly withdrew from the ancestral temple.

“…… Madam, this ......" Yuwen Shiliang knelt on the other side of me, and he saw Hou Yue leaving, so he leaned over and whispered.

"Maybe it's something in the court, he has to do it." I said.

Not long after, Hou Yue returned. The elders were still reciting the sacrificial words, Hou Yue took the incense and knelt down again. He whispered, "Something happened in the palace." ”

I opened my slightly narrowed eyes.

“…… Last night, Cheng Jing and Lord Jiang rose up and launched a palace change. ”

I continued to listen silently, not saying a word.

"Queen Meng committed suicide in fear of sin." Hou Yue paid attention to his surroundings and continued, "Master Jiang was killed on the spot, and Cheng Jing was captured alive. ”

I listened and nodded. At this time, the words of the elders have been recited, and everyone should get up and offer the incense in their hands. Yuwen Shiliang pushed Xia Zhen over, and Xia Zhen helped me up with great eyesight.

I stood up, turned my head sideways, and smiled at her. Then he handed the incense in his hand to her, Xia Zhen stepped forward and inserted the incense in the incense burner, and then came back and carefully supported me.

We turned and walked out.

In a congratulatory voice, I got into the carriage. As soon as he sat down, Hou Yue stepped forward, "The people from the palace want us to leave tomorrow morning and return to Yu Palace." ”

"Hmm." I replied softly, "Don't forget, from now on, you are the general of Yuwen Changyuan, and you are no longer the former Hou Yue, understand." ”

He hesitated, but nodded.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back first, you can take me to meet the blind girl." I'm very interested in the blind girl who was forced to change houses by the Yuwen family.

He thought about it for a while before he had to agree.

"Xia Zhen, you can come up too." After he turned around, I called out to Xia Zhen, and Xia Zhen answered and followed into the carriage.

The group began to move in the direction back to the village. On the way, we turned around alone.

"Madame...... This is, where are you going? "Xia Zhen was a little scared when he saw that we had separated from the Yuwen family.

"It's fine." I clapped her hand, "Just to see someone." ”

Xia Zhen nodded sensibly.

"Listen to your father, you are nine years old?" I took advantage of this time to try to distance myself from her, although Xia Zhen was sensible and had vision, I could feel that she was still afraid of me.

Xia Zhen listened, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Mrs. Hui, yes." ”

"Don't be nervous." I comforted her, "I actually like you a lot, and I also told your father that I want to bring you back to Yu Palace." I want to know what you think, if you'd like to come with me. ”

Xia Zhen raised her head and looked at me, a little timid, but there was some outstanding intelligence in her eyes.

"You can just say what you think, it's okay, if you don't want to, I won't force you." I also don't think she's the one who's going to give up this opportunity.

Although this little girl is not very old, but because of her cleverness, it is unlikely that she is a girl who is willing to stay in the village and wait for marriage.

She sighed and thought for a long time. When she looked at me, she suddenly became extremely brave, "Then, will you also be with the general?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, but instinctively looked at the people outside the carriage. Then he smiled knowingly and said to her, "Yes, Chang Yuan is now leading the forbidden army in the palace, and he also lives in the Yu Palace, and when he goes back, I will talk to His Majesty." It's time for him to have an independent private house, and even then, he will often come to the palace to accompany me. ”

Xia Zhen picked the corners of her mouth, she was a little happy, but she was obviously suppressing. "If Madame doesn't dislike me, I'm willing to go back with Madame."

I sighed and nodded. Unexpectedly, this little girl's mind fell on him.

The carriage stopped, Xia Zhen got out of the car very sensibly, and helped me down.

"Who?" The people in the house heard the commotion, but calmed down for a while before they knocked on a branch and came out.

It's a girl, it's just that this girl is older than I imagined. I thought she was the same age as Chang Yuan, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but now it looks ......

"We belong to the Yuwen family." Seeing this, Xia Zhen stepped forward to answer.

The girl was walking this way, about to open the gate of the courtyard, but when she heard Xia Zhen's words, she was stunned in place, and just whispered, "What are you still doing?" ”

"Cold Moon, it's me." Only then did Chang Yuan open his mouth and say a word.

That girl's name is Hanyue? Unexpectedly, Chang Yuan became more familiar with her.

Han Yue heard Chang Yuan's voice, so she moved, stepped forward again, and then opened the door. "You came here yesterday, but you didn't say that you are from the Yuwen family."

This time I get it. "Miss Hanyue, he is indeed a member of the Yuwen family, but we came from Mucheng to look for relatives, and we just sacrificed our ancestors today. I heard that we have caused some grievances to the girl, so I took a special look. ”

"You are?" Coldmoon Girl heard my voice and asked.

"I'm Changyuan's sister." I say. "From the palace."

"She's Mrs. Zhaohua." Xia Zhen answered on the side. (To be continued.) )
