Chapter 097: The Past

Mrs. Sin was also pondering.

Listening to Xiao Yu's meaning, she was separated from her mother after entering Beijing, and she didn't see her last time until her mother died, and she didn't know what happened in the meantime, even the death of Xiao Yu's father, Yun Ying also explained it in a vague way.

"I also asked my grandmother to leave it to Ah Yu to do."

Mrs. Xian, the Great Elder, and the Holy Aunt all looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, Xiao Yu was like a bystander, out of place with a few people, and he didn't want to leave outside.

After a while, Mrs. Xian finally nodded and asked again, "Do you have a clue?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head silently.

In fact, from the words of his parents, Xiao Yu guessed that it was the Jingnan County Mansion that kidnapped Brother Jun'er. Therefore, she suspected that the death of her parents would not escape the responsibility of Jingnan Wangfu.

Not only that, Xiao Yu inquired that his mother Su Ying entered Beijing, and Su Fan of Jingnan Wangfu went to Beijing to be punished, and after his mother died, Su Fan became framed, and was only ordered by Emperor Qi to serve his father in Kyoto, and the title inherited by his son Li Jue was reduced from King Jingnan to King of the County, nothing more.

This punishment is because the Jingnan Royal Mansion offended Tianwei, but it was full of strangeness.

Mrs. Xian was also sad for a moment, then remembered something and asked, "Ah Yu, do you know where your mother is buried?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head, frowned, and said ashamedly and sadly: "I don't know." ”

Xiao Yu really didn't know where his father's tomb was, but his mother's tomb was near the imperial tomb, so he couldn't worship at will. She had to erect a mound for her parents, write the tomb of Xiao Yifei and his wife, and did not dare to engrave her mother's name so as not to be known.

Xiao Yu told a few people about the location of the tomb.

The tomb is also in Qixia Mountain, but it is not close to the slang village, not far from the mountain hut where Xiao Yu's family lived when he was a child. When Brother Jun was taken captive, they had already moved to the village at the foot of the mountain, and their parents were worried about her safety, so they sent her back to the mountain house to live temporarily, and called Huahua to accompany her.

Xiao Yu remembered the situation when Brother Jun took Huahua to hunt hares.

Seeing that he was distracted, several people knew that Xiao Yu was still upset, and comforted him. Let Xiao Yucheng accompany him back to the guest house first.

"Fangcai, what's going on?" Xiao Yucheng asked cautiously.

Xiao Yu smiled reluctantly and said, "Mrs. Xian is my grandmother, after we met just now." When I asked about my parents and brother, I was a little sad. ”

I don't know what happened to Brother Jun now. Xiao Yu thought as he walked, but Xiao Yucheng didn't hear any words of consolation.

It was not long after Xiao Yu returned to live in the mountains, and her parents were not at ease, so they sent her to Aunt Zhang. She made it all the way to Kyoto in Daqi without incident. Stay in Zhou's house.

The capital is majestic and lively. Xiao Yu was most impressed by the sound of bells and drums in the early morning. Dongfang Jiangming, with the first sound of the dawn drum of the palace tower to break the silence, the fierce knocking sound of the drum tower in each street sounded in turn, and the temple and Taoist temple in the city also rang the morning bell, echoing in the city for a long time.

Xiao Yu, who had just arrived in Kyoto, woke up from a dream, was shocked, and was full of yearning for living at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

But soon she saw the reality.

The mansion of the wealthy family of the Zhou Mansion is indispensable for all kinds of open and secret battles. Aunt Zhang, as a daughter-in-law, is also walking on thin ice. Xiao Yu is just a young girl who has no foundation under the fence, and even her subordinates despise her. And it didn't take long for her to receive a letter from her mother, learning that her father had passed away and wanted to wear filial piety. In order to avoid secrecy, Xiao Yu moved out of the Zhou Mansion and lived in a small house that Aunt Zhang had set up for her nearby.

Xiao Yu lives alone, recalls her deceased father, and misses her mother and brother Jun more and more. A few months later, she received a secret letter from her mother, saying that Brother Jun was fine, and she was a little happy. I thought we would be reunited soon. Soon she unexpectedly learned the news that her mother Su Ying was named the lord of Wenjia, and she learned that her mother had arrived in the capital.

But Xiao Yu looked forward to seeing her mother again.

It was a day of heavy snowfall, and the sky and the earth were covered in a thick winter snow that could not be dissolved. The vast expanse of white, and the countless houses in the city are covered with thick snow, as simple and elegant as a fairyland. Xiao Yu, who grew up in the warm land of South Vietnam, saw this scene for the first time since he was born, temporarily forgot the pain of losing his father, and walked through the snow to find plums with great interest, but learned the news of the death of the lord of Wenjia County from Hancui, who returned from going out.

Mother died!

It's like a bolt from the blue. Xiao Yu's blood seemed to freeze all of a sudden. How can this winter be so cold? She thought in a daze, her body trembling uncontrollably, but her cheeks were hot, and her feet were weak and shaky.

The bone-chilling cold still lingers in my heart after a few years.

Hancui was frightened and hurriedly sent her back to her room. Xiao Yu, who was extremely grief-stricken, couldn't shed a single tear. A voice in her heart shouted, "I don't believe it! This is not true! My mother is not dead! ”

Xiao Yu locked himself in the room and wanted to cry loudly, but he could only forcibly hold back. There are many strange circumstances about her mother's death, and her life experience cannot be known to outsiders, and now when it comes to the palace, she can only hold the pillow and let her tears soak through the scarf.

Xiao Yu recalled the warmth of family joy in the past over and over again, and almost fainted. She contracted the wind cold, and the water and rice she received every day were pitiful.

Since then, she no longer likes winter snowflakes.

Hancui was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Aunt Zhang invited a famous doctor in the city, thinking that she was only remembering her deceased father and missing her mother, and often came to comfort her.

Xiao Yu thought that the cause of her mother's death was unknown, and Brother Jun'er's whereabouts were unknown, so she couldn't blindly be sad and depressed here, so she cheered up and asked about Princess Wen Jiazhao from Hancui. Regardless of being in filial piety, he went to the teahouse tavern, hoping to get some useful clues from the talk of others.

But no matter how Xiao Yu inquired, there was no news about Brother Jun outside.

There is no rumor about why her mother Su Ying entered the palace in Beijing, only the boring conjectures of those idlers. It's not that Emperor Qi sent people to search for him, and finally found the descendants of the Yue Queen; It was Princess Wen Jiazhao who went to Beijing thousands of miles ago, and was finally able to return to the genealogy, but unfortunately she died before she could enjoy the glory.

Xiao Yu knew that none of this was true, and she vaguely guessed that it was related to the prince's serious illness before.

As the matter gradually faded, it became more difficult to find the truth of the matter, and various rumors about Princess Wen Jiazhao were flying all over the sky. Because it was the descendant of Queen Yue, everyone somehow thought of the treasure house of King Wu, and they took great pains to find out the several places where Xiao Yu's family lived in the past, digging three feet into the ground, just wanting to find clues to find the treasure house.

Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this, but he could only be more cautious, so as not to reveal anything to let people know his life experience.

The Zhou Mansion is also considered a powerful person in Beijing, but it fights fiercely inside. Because Aunt Zhang has no heirs, she is not happy with her elders in the house, and since her husband died, her life has become more and more unbearable, and she has fallen ill. Xiao Yu thanked him for his kindness and served the decoction at the bedside every day.

But although Xiao Yu lived in the house that the Zhang family bought with the dowry money, in the eyes of the people of the Zhou Mansion, it was also his own property, so some people had warm eyes and heartache all day long, and spoke coldly to the Zhang family and Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu just gave it back, but Zhang's cried every time because of this, and his condition increased a little. Barely two years later, Zhang was bedridden. Knowing that time was running out, she arranged to send Xiao Yu back to Yuedi.

Although Xiao Yu wanted to go back to Yuedi, he was unwilling to leave at this time. But Zhang's mind has been decided, and everything is stopped. She said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and returned to Yuedi. (To be continued.) )
