221: The eldest princess of Xiling
ββ I wish you all a happy holiday~ The new January is coming, Xiao Fei will try to keep the number of words more than 4,000 a day~ββ
β¦β¦
"Aunt Liu?" The little maid's face was shocked, "Isn't this aunt the one who threw herself into the well a few years ago, I heard that she is from Xiling......"
"Shhh......h
"Ah, it turns out that this Aunt Liu has a son...... If so, why is she looking for a short-sighted view? The little maid was puzzled.
"What's the use of having a son...... It's just a concubine, and he grew up outside, after all, in the final analysis, the eldest son of our second room is the heir, and the uncle is gone in his early years, there is no one in the big house, and he doesn't even have a reliance in the house, so it is estimated that he can't stand it anymore......" The more the maid said in a lower voice, "The second lady has confessed, and you are not allowed to talk about the second son and Aunt Liu in private, I told you here, you don't have to learn from others when you go back." β
It is said that this Aunt Liu's throwing into the well is not as simple as it seems.
Even the fact that he entered the palace in the name of Chongxi was full of fog.
And more importantly, she is a Xiling woman, and her origin and background are blank, and there is no way to find out.
It seems that less than a month after entering the house, the eldest master went to ...... But he left a widow.
I also heard that the eldest lord was depressed and became ill because of the death of the eldest lady, and after the death of the eldest lady, the eldest lord has never been close to the woman.
But it was planted here by Aunt Liu......
And the eldest master's body was already in a state of losing half his life at that time......
So many people secretly guessed that this unidentified Xiling woman was pregnant with this child by means of unsightly means.
The truth of these old things is impossible to trace, but it is like a blackened vine in the hearts of everyone, Rao is a long time ago, but every time he mentions it, it is still very clear.
Human nature is like this, and the clearest memory is always the darkest side.
"Good sister, I know......" The little girl responded, but after the two walked out of a distance, they couldn't help asking: "Has that sister seen the second son?" What does it look like, I don't know if the second son is more like us Central Plains people, or more like Xiling people, I heard that Xiling people's eyes are blue! The complexion is also extremely white! β
The maid smiled and said, "You ask me?" Where can I see it? However, when the master sets up a homecoming banquet for the second son the day after tomorrow, the second son will definitely show up, and he will naturally know when the time comes......"
"It's also ......"
ββ¦β¦ The second lady is buying a new person in the courtyard of the second son recently, go to Wu's mother to say good things, and be more diligent yourself, we will all have a chance...... Anyway, it's better to be a master than to be a third-class maid who runs errands all day long, and doesn't even have a real master, and never has a chance to get ahead in his life......"
ββ¦β¦ Thank you sister for mentioning this! β
"Let's go......"
The two figures, one green and one pink, gradually disappeared behind the moon gate.
**
Jin State Mansion, Outer Study.
The study was burning with soothing sandalwood, the door was closed, and the two servants stood quietly outside the door, one on the left and one on the right, and the laughter of the old man could be heard from inside the study from time to time.
However, in the study, the back of the long bookcase made of yellow rosewood was empty, and the chair under it was also empty.
A closer look reveals that a six-fold hollow wooden screen is built into this study, which divides the study into two worlds.
Behind the screen, the old man sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, talking to the young man sitting opposite.
Jin Qingyun, who had removed the high crown, revealed his gray hair, and although he was meticulously tied on the top of his head with a jade flute, he still showed his old age.
Especially when he was smiling at the moment, there were several more furrows on his face.
The young man who sat across from him was not greeting him, but he smiled together, and on his face as usual, there was just the right amount of lightness between his eyebrows but not alienation.
is like a gentleman orchid in the empty valley, self-esteem but not pride.
The smile in Jin Qingyun's eyes changed.
Rare.
It is extremely rare to be able to raise such a characteristic in that kind of place.
Ho, the eldest gave birth to a decent son......
I don't know what I thought, the smile on the old man's face gradually faded, but his tone was still kind and soft, he looked at Jin Qi and said: "Grandfather knows that you are wronged, obviously half a year older than Ah Mi, but he wants to call him an eldest brother to the outside world." But our scholars, there has never been a precedent for the eldest son, in order to protect you, this did not publicize the news of your birth, in order to prevent the news from leaking, grandfather had to endure the pain and sent you to the temple to raise. β
The meaning of this is obvious.
As a 'concubine' who should not have been there from the beginning, his existence was not allowed from the beginning.
Thanks to his grandfather's kindness, he was not stillborn.
It's good to survive, but what order of seniority is required.
Jin Qi sneered in his heart, but his face did not show anything, but said: "Ran Zhi understands, grandfather has good intentions. β
Isn't it, well-intentioned.
"Originally, I planned to wait for my sister-in-law to be born, and then I would take you back, but who expected that a mountain fire broke out in the temple, and the monks in the temple were unfortunately killed...... Everyone thought you had fallen into the fire. β
Jin Qi listened quietly.
These are lies that are not dissimilar to those of the previous life.
I heard the same words twice, but my mood was completely different.
In his previous life, he had shallow knowledge and had no defense, and he believed what the Jin family said.
But he never thought about the people he loved in his eyes, but he never looked at him as a relative.
It can even be said that he has never been seen as a person.
"But I don't believe it, how can the eldest grandson of my Jin family be so thin!" The expression on Jin Qingyun's face was not half fake, as if he was an elderly grandfather who had lost his beloved grandson, and when faced with a sudden blow, he should be helpless and unwilling to accept reality.
"Over the years, your second uncle and I have never given up looking for your whereabouts, sure enough...... The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally heard your whereabouts in Suzhou City, thousands of miles away - it was a pilgrim surnamed Jin who lived in the temple back then, and escaped from the fire and saved you, only when you were an orphan adopted in the temple, he took you to Suzhou City, and then the couple unfortunately died of illness, and entrusted you to your future adoptive father before dying. β
Listening to Jin Qingyun's words, Jin Qi lowered his head slightly and was silent for a moment, and said, "Over the years, Grandfather Lao has been worried. β
Concern is real.
I'm always thinking about when I'll get rid of him.
He's an anomaly with blue eyesβ
What temple, what pilgrims, what adoptive father, is just a pre-fabricated statement.
The truth is clear, he was taken away as soon as he was born, his biological mother was accused, and his father was kept in the dark and did not know the truth, believing in the so-called dystocia that caused the death of both mother and son.
And because he had a pair of blue eyes, he should have been executed at birth, but because he might have a trace of use value in the future, he was luckily left behind, but he was taken to Suzhou, thousands of miles away, and raised by the old servants of the Jin family.
Sure enough, just as Jin Qingyun expected at the beginning, the pool of water in the world, after more than ten years, finally made big waves again.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity.
Others may not know, but Jin Qi knows very well that his grandfather even dreams of naming the world with the surname Jin!
His ambition is not just to make the Jin family stand tall in this troubled world, and the glory will last forever-
But the family of the scholar clan is different from the vassal king Caokou, they are reversed, and if they lose, they will lose, but it is just a foundation of a few years or more than a few decades, and they will be a good man after eighteen years.
How can the Keshi clan be the same, the shoulders of the family are the fate and rise and fall of the entire clan, and even the life is not their own, but the entire family.
This is also the reason why the major families have been extraordinary in the past hundred years, but they are only willing to support Caokou to ascend to the throne.
Just because you are not careful, you will lose the whole game.
Instead of fighting all your net worth to gamble on a prosperous life, it is better to endure for a long time.
No one dares to gamble with the family's 100-year honor and disgrace, because no one can afford to lose!
Unless, you are sure ...... win!
If there is a great chaos today, the five great warrior clans that were originally established are now only left in the Suzhou Han family to compete with the Jin clan, but they are also greatly damaged by a plague a year ago - although it is far from the devastating blow Cheng DΓΉ that Jin Qingyun expected at the beginning, but three years and five years of recuperation are still indispensable.
But that's still not enough.
Still not completely sure -
Therefore, this eldest grandson, who has been abandoned since birth, finally comes in handy.
"I just hope you can be considerate of your grandfather, and don't blame your grandfather for not being able to give you the identity of your eldest grandson." Jin Qingyun sighed slightly and said.
"Grandfather is serious, and my grandson is grateful to my grandfather for letting me return to the Jin family." Jin Qi's eyes were serious.
"Good boy......" Jin Qingyun looked relieved.
"It's just a grandfather, and a grandson has something unknown."
"When you first come home, it's normal to have something unclear, and we don't have to be so polite between our grandparents." Jin Qingyun smiled and raised his hand to signal Jin Qi to ask.
"Grandfather, my biological mother, is it really Aunt Liu?" Jin Qi looked straight at Jin Qingyun, and all he could see in his eyes was the curiosity unique to young people.
In his previous life, he had asked this too.
Jin Qingyun replied like this-"This is natural, your father has only accepted one concubine of the Liu family, and your mother is from the Xiling family, your eyes are ...... But it's like her. β
In this life, Jin Qingyun still replied like this, and when he said the last half of the sentence, there was still a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes, which was very imperceptible.
Jin Qi in his previous life didn't understand it, but in this life, he can see it clearly.
What Aunt Liu, that's just her mother's personal maid.
Accepting him as a concubine is just to hide people's eyes and ears, so as to pave the way for his future identity as a concubine.
His biological mother is his father's wife who welcomes him through the door! -- claimed to be the second daughter of the Yunzhou Qu family, but her actual identity was from Xiling.
Just because he has a pair of foreign eyes, he was never allowed to meet outsiders after marrying into the Jin family, and was forbidden to participate in all the family's banquets and sacrificial activities, because the Jin family was afraid that he would be ridiculed for this - the eldest son of the dignified Jin family actually married a Xiling woman as his wife!
Even though this woman is the unspeakably eldest princess of Xiling Country.
In the eyes of the scholars, there is no distinction between rich and poor, only between the rich and the poor, only the scholars - even if they are emperors, they are just lowly people!
Not to mention his Jin family, even the declining Xiaoshi clan has no precedent for marrying a concubine.
"Your biological mother was originally the princess of Xiling Kingdom, and the sister of the current King of Xiling......" Jin Qingyun said this, and glanced at Jin Qi opposite.
Sure enough, there was a flash of surprise in the young man's eyes.
No matter how extraordinary his temperament is, he is still a vain and superficial hairy boy after all...... A child raised by poverty can be expected to have a great future.
"But you also know that our scholars do not intermarry with the common people, so even if your mother is a princess, she can only condescend to the concubine room...... Fortunately, she and your father are in love with each other, and never care about these things. Although Jin Qingyun's tone was ordinary, it just rightly revealed a sense of 'he is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law'.
Even though this is completely inconsistent.
But he needed to make this grandson feel that he had never looked down on his mother.
"Back then, your mother broke off the brother-sister relationship with your uncle in order to marry Ah Chu, and more than ten years have passed, and your uncle is afraid that he still doesn't know about your mother's suicide by throwing herself into a well......" Jin Qingyun said this, raised his eyes to look at Jin Qi, and confessed: "In order to prevent your uncle from being too sad, I will tell him for the time being, your mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to you, and it is better to come than to let him feel that his sister has fallen into a well, so as to resent our Jin familyββ"
Let's Jin family.
This old man can always win people's hearts invisibly.
In his previous life, he regarded the Jin family as his own family, and his uncle who was dedicated to him as an outsider.
But it was 'true' that his mother died in childbirth.
"My grandson understands." Jin Qi asked unrelentingly, "Grandfather, is this going to send someone to inform my uncle?" β
"Since I found you back, I should inform my uncle." Jin Qingyun's tone brought a casual smile, and said: "I haven't found out your whereabouts before, so I didn't dare to tell your uncle about your deposit, and now that you are back, I can be regarded as having an explanation for your parents under Jiuquan and your uncle." β
"But since my uncle broke off the brother-sister relationship with my mother back then, he was never informed of his mother's death, and there is no need for him to know about his grandson's return home." Jin Qi said with a cold face.
"Hehe, you stupid boy...... Jin Qingyun smiled dotingly in his tone, but his eyes were full of satisfaction, and then said: "He and your mother, these are brothers and sisters who have broken bones and tendons, how can they say that they will be broken?" Don't blame your uncle, the reason why he hasn't asked about your mother for so many years must be because of his own difficulties...... Anyway, he's your uncle. β
That's a lot of fun...... R1152
