Chapter 209: It's not a family that doesn't enter the door
In fact, Zhirong just wanted to test the attitude of Sheng Hongyu and the three elders, with Sheng Hongyu's character, she would not marry the strange man she pretended to be because of a jade card.
However, the Sheng family did lose a lot after the catastrophe of Cheng Youtian, and there were only more than 1,000 people in the village of more than 2,000 people who could really fight. Skywalker Cottage is facing the greatest crisis.
"Since Cheng Youtian has colluded with the Northern Regions Palace, then the other party is now well aware of the defenses and organs of Tianxing Mountain, and the remaining martial arts of the people and horses under your command are not high, Miss Shan, the Northern Regions Palace only needs to send a small team to raze the Tianxing Cottage to the ground without much effort."
Zhirong analyzed the form unhurriedly, and Shen Ling spoke for her. Sheng Hongyu's expression was uncertain, she knew that what Zhirong said was true, and after her father's death, Tianxing Cottage was vulnerable.
Could it be that the Sheng family is going to be destroyed in the hands of his own generation? How did she have the face to face her father's tablet and the ancestors of the Sheng family.
But although the young man in the seat is handsome, he is not her favorite type, and she doesn't want to gamble with her happiness, who knows if this person will become the second Cheng Youtian?
"This matter is very important, and I will discuss it with the three elders." Sheng Hongyu hurriedly went to the backyard with the three elders to discuss whether to accept Zhirong's conditions.
"Niece and nephew, if the old man wants to say that this young man is a brave and resourceful person, if he is willing to serve the Sheng family, revive the majesty of my Sheng family, and rehabilitate the Sheng family, this marriage is not bad." The Great Elder thought for a moment.
The second elder also nodded: "It would be fine if it could really be like this, but you saw that kid didn't know martial arts, not to mention that he was still blind and dumb." The eldest niece married him, not to mention the grievances, wouldn't he do nothing in the future hurt both his niece and the Sheng family? ”
"You can't say that, he will become a master under Youtian and kill no one left. All of them are hanging on the head of the city, which is enough to see this kid's ability and courage, and you can also see his subordinates, so many masters. Not a mortal child! ”
Sheng Hongyu looked worried: "Then what am I going to do?" It doesn't matter if I sacrifice my own happiness, my uncles also know that I have not been in good health since I was a child, and I can't learn advanced martial arts, and it is because of this that my father will take me in, and the Sheng family has declined in my generation. If I can't find a safe person, I'm afraid my Sheng family will no longer exist. ”
The Great Elder stroked his long beard: "Soon after they went up the mountain, they were able to find the cause of death and the token of the owner of the village, and they infiltrated the cottage and killed Cheng Youtian and his henchmen. It seems that everything is under control. Even if we were to deploy it carefully, it would take a day or two. It can be seen that these people come from extraordinary backgrounds, and the old man feels that there may not be only one way to go, marriage. ”
The three elders understood the words of the Great Elder, and continued; "Nieces and nephews, we are all old, your cousins and cousins have also died in battle, and hope is all in you. What we want is for the Sheng family to regain its prestige and be rehabilitated. As long as the grievances of the ancestors and ancestors can be cleared. Why should we die? That man's purpose is only to get the power of the cottage, so he will have to accept our terms! ”
The second elder shook his head, "If they are uneasy and kind, we don't have to be soft, anyway, we have another hope." ”
After hearing this, Sheng Hongyu and the other two elders all had a glint of hope in their eyes.
After the uncles' orders, Sheng Hongyu realized that Zhirong didn't want to marry her at all, but hoped to make a deal with them. In this way, Sheng Hongyu's heart settled.
The uncles are right, as long as they can rehabilitate the Sheng family, they are the benefactors of the Sheng family, and they are qualified to lead the Sheng family.
But. It was unknown whether the thin little white face on the seat had that ability, and Shen Heng's face appeared in her mind. That's not bad if you say that hero.
While they were discussing, Zhirong and the others were also discussing, Shen Qing circled around her a few times, and said, "Master, I found that you are getting more and more powerful now, saying that you don't blush when you marry a big girl, but that grand lady is blushing." Oh? Shen Heng. She smiled and winked at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng ignored her at all and began to tell Zhirong his conjectures. Zhirong tensed her nerves and listened, this is big news, but she didn't expect that pie really fell from the sky in an accident.
It turned out that when the Jingtang Dynasty opened the country, there were eight major valve families who were named the founding heroes, namely the Yan family, the Wen family, the Jin family, the Murong family, the Chen family, the An family, the Northern Regions City and the Shen family.
Everyone in each of these clans has heavy troops, among which the most powerful soldiers are the Murong family, the Shen family, and the king of the southwest. After Emperor Shizu ascended the throne, several major families who originally fought together to fight the world also began to form gangs and fight openly and secretly.
The Shen family was the first to suffer, the entire family was almost wiped out, it is said that only Shen Zhihua was exonerated of her because of her close relationship with Emperor Shizu, and Shen Zhihua disappeared from the lineage.
And it was the city lord of the Northern Regions who caused the Shen family to be wiped out, and after the opening, he was named the king of the Northern Regions, and the county lord of the Northern Regions became the founding queen, and Shen Zhihua, the heir of the Shen family, became the head of the Shang Palace Bureau.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Northern Regions Royal Mansion fabricated evidence of the Shen family's rebellion, and Emperor Shizu also listened to the villain's words, gave the Shen family's military power, and almost wiped out the entire clan. The Chen family immediately surrendered their military power and returned to the fiefdom to avoid being killed.
And now, the Jin family and the An family have been wiped out, and the Chenjun Mansion does not ask about the affairs of the capital, and there are only the Murong family, the Yan family, the Wen family, and the newly rising Qiu family and the Li family.
"Shen Heng, what you said is the ancestor of the master, what does it have to do with this Sheng family?" Shen Qing asked puzzledly, thinking that Shen Heng was purely tricky.
"These are just conjectures, and the key lies in the jade plate." Shen Heng smiled and pointed to the jade plate in Zhirong's hand. "Master, you carefully touch the totem on the back to see if there is any impression."
Shen Qing was the one who was the most mischievous, and she grinned: "The old owner of the Sheng family sewed that brand in his stomach, which I took out, and it seems that it hasn't been wiped clean." After speaking, he turned around and stuck out his tongue at Shen Heng, who had a blue face.
I heard that Zhirong's hand shook slightly, but she still had a big burden to touch. I'm afraid of something, I can't see it anyway. She touched the pattern carefully, and at first she couldn't think of anything.
But after touching it a few times, I suddenly remembered a totem-like pattern on the last page of the embroidery book, and there were a few words on that page: Shen family.
At that time, where would she associate her mother's Shen family with others, but now she understood Shen Heng's intentions. "This is the totem of my mother's Shen family! Shen Heng, how do you see that? ”
"I just think this totem is too weird. This jade plaque is also a bit old, and I can see that there is jade in the jade under the firelight! This white jade plaque is definitely not only a status symbol, but also hides a greater secret. ”
Zhirong gently stroked the jade plaque and said: "The Shen family, the Sheng family, the king of the Northern Regions, the Shen family and the Sheng family and the Northern Regions Royal Mansion do not share the sky, is the relationship between these two families unusual?" ”
"What the relationship is, we'll know when Sheng Hongyu comes back." Shen Qing helped Zhirong and everyone went to the lobby together.
Sheng Hongyu and the others were already waiting there, and she saw Zhirong being supported by Shen Qing, with a trace of contempt in her eyes. Such a body is not as good as himself, even if he is resourceful? The Sheng family is in his hands, and he can't say that it will be destroyed faster.
Zhirong still sat in the position of the king, and the people in the cottage below were in an uproar. Sheng Hongyu hasn't agreed to the marriage yet, and this kid is anti-guest. Sheng Hongyu felt very shameless, but now was not the time to quarrel.
"Don't know your name yet, hero?" Sheng Hongyu raised her head loudly.
Zhirong smiled faintly: "Bai Zhirong! As he spoke, he ripped off the human skin mask on his face. I changed my mind. Miss Sheng should still marry a man. ”
Her action made the people in the Sheng family's cottage below stunned, and the young child couldn't help but scream when he saw the terrifying scar on Zhirong's face.
Bai Zhirong, a household name in both the capital and the Northern Regions, is a name that all embroidered girls in Jingtang once worshipped. She was directly promoted from a trainee to a sixth-grade female official. Piercing cloud embroidery is well-known to everyone.
Moreover, because of a peony picture, the second rose to the fourth rank of Shanggong, but it was short-lived, and the woman soon fell from a high place and died on the way to exile in the north.
Sheng Hongyu also loves embroidery in addition to practicing martial arts, and among today's embroidery girls, she admires Bai Zhirong the most. When he heard that Zhirong was exiled, he even sent someone down the mountain to rescue him, but the result was that the woman had died.
The people of Jingtang will soon forget that this excellent embroidery girl is the one who created the embroidery through the clouds, which is combined with a variety of embroidery techniques. Sheng Hongyu couldn't believe her eyes. Is it really Bai Zhirong who is scarred on the seat?
The three elders were even more stunned, if she was really Bai Zhirong. Then the dream they have been looking forward to all these years will come true!
"Are you real?" Sheng Hongyu and several elders slowly stepped forward, carefully observed Zhirong's face, and at first glance saw the imprint on the face that belonged to the Shang Palace Bureau, but this did not mean anything. "You're not dead?"
"Is that to hide people's eyes and ears? Our master is a descendant of the Shen family, if he is known by the court, will he still live? Shen Qing glanced at Sheng Hongyu proudly: "I am Shen Qing, the master's henchman, and that child's name is Shen Ling." That kid's name is Shen Heng! ”
Shen Heng glanced at her, and said in his heart, who is that kid? Are you seven years younger than me?
Shen Qing ignored Shen Heng's pig-killing knife-like gaze and continued: "You won't have a portrait of my master, right?" Miss Shanda, you don't know how to wear cloud embroidery, right? ”
Sheng Hongyu and the others were shocked, could it be that the person in front of them was really Bai Zhirong? Sheng Hongyu asked someone to bring a painting and looked at Zhirong for a long time, if the scars on Zhirong's face were removed, it would be very similar to the person in the painting.
"We can't listen to you, whether we can wear cloud embroidery depends on our real skills!" Sheng Hongyu asked people to hand the needle and embroidery cloth to Zhirong. In fact, she already believed in Zhirong's identity in her heart at this time, but she couldn't be sloppy.
Zhirong's hand was originally very injured, and her left arm still couldn't move, so she had to use her right hand to reluctantly embroider. Fortunately, Ling'er also knows embroidery, so she helped on the side.
It's been a long time since she touched needlework, Zhirong has almost forgotten about it, and she thinks that she will never touch embroidery again in her life. However, the moment she got the needle and thread, she almost cried, and her favorite thing was embroidery. , even such a broken body can't change her dreams.
Because of the injury on her hand, Zhirong's embroidery was relatively slow, but Sheng Hongyu recognized that it was the embroidery through the clouds, she had secretly gone down the mountain to the best embroidery institute in the Northern Regions City to see it secretly, and Zhirong's current technique was even more clever than those embroiderers.
"Are you really Bai Zhirong?" Sheng Hongyu stepped forward excitedly and wanted to shake Zhirong's hand, but stopped in mid-air. The hands that were originally white and tender are now full of heart-wrenching scars, and some of the joints are still deformed, and those hands are no longer normal people's hands.
Zhirong reached out and patted her hand, then took out the jade plate from her arms, "What is your relationship with the Shen family?" Why is this jade totem my Shen family? And what is the mystery of the society hidden in this white jade? ”
After Ling'er finished conveying these words to her, she heard Sheng Hongyu and the three elders say in unison: "Welcome master!" As soon as they knelt down, the people in the cottage also knelt down and shouted at the same time: "Welcome master!" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhirong hurriedly asked.
The Great Elder explained: "Master, the Sheng family was originally not surnamed Sheng but Shen, we were the ancestors who fled and only stayed in the Tianxing Mountain, and the task of this line was to protect the safety of the heirs of the first line, so we changed our surname in order to avoid the imperial court. Over the years, we have searched all over the country, and finally found the place where the heirs are. But the whole family was killed by bandits, and only the eldest lady who married into the hundred families in Kaizhou lived, but when we inquired about Kaizhou, we learned that the eldest lady had already died. At that time, we didn't know she had a daughter. ”
"It wasn't until you appeared in the capital that we inquired about your life experience, but unfortunately you had already entered the palace at that time, and the old village owner wanted you to enter the palace, maybe he could clear up the grievances of the Shen family, but not long ago, there was bad news. Our last hope was dashed. ”
Zhirong felt as if he had entered a dream, the master once said that he was a descendant of Shen Zhihua, and others were also passing it on, but there was no evidence. Now that there is suddenly another team claiming to be a descendant of the Shen family, things are really getting more and more bizarre.
"You mean that you are the Shen family, and you are protecting the heirs of the Shen family?" Zhirong asked calmly.
The second elder said: "Exactly, the old village master once said before his death that if Bai Zhirong is still alive, it is the hope of our Shen clan, only you will know the meaning of this totem!" It's just that we don't know the secret in this white jade, only the old village owner under Jiuquan knows. ”
Zhirong took out the white jade, flicked it with his fingers, and then fell to the ground without hesitation, and the people around him exclaimed. Bai Zhirong, what is this for?
However, I saw that after the white jade broke, there was a jade plaque inside, and the same totem was a different word, 'Shen'. (To be continued......)
