"So you've been fostered in Cai Mansion since you were a child?" Li Sanjian fell into deep contemplation after listening to Cai Rongxue's story.

It turned out that Cai Rongxue was the youngest daughter of the late Song Dynasty, of course, Li Sanjian did not know that Cai Rongxue's father's surname was Cai Mingqing, but only knew that Cai Rongxue's father had been a Zaizhi.

Cai Qu, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian Road, Jiayou has been a scholar for four years, and has entered the official career so far.

The era in which Cai Qu lived was the era of violent political turmoil in the Song Dynasty, the era of turbulence, the era of reform and innovation, and the era of Wang Anshi's reforms.

Cai is indeed one of the main supporters of Wang Anshi's reform, and he is a firm supporter of Wang Anshi's reform.

The crisis-ridden Song court was in urgent need, and the revival of Confucianism also inspired the arrival of the old and the new, and the rise of the Song scholars also encouraged the arrival of the old and the new.

At this time, Cai Qu, who was in Quanzhou, an important southern town with a developed economy and attached great importance to education in the Song Dynasty, was encouraged by the scholars at that time to apply their ideas to the world, and like many ambitious scholars, he threw himself into this vigorous change.

Cai Qu's career path, who was born in the family of an ordinary Song eunuch, was certainly not smooth sailing, with several ups and downs, and it was the ebb and flow.

Cai Qujin Shi and the first, at the beginning of the Pizhou manager joined the army, and later served as the manager of the right chamber, the third class of the main book, the supervision of the imperial history, the judgment of Sinong Temple and other positions.

The officials who were impeached by him during Cai Qu's tenure as supervising the imperial history include Han Jin, Zhang Zongdao, Wang Xiufu, Shen Kuo, Wang Shao and others, and there are many officials impeached by him, and even Wang Anshi has been impeached by Cai Qu.

The reasons for Cai Qu's impeachment of officials include those who commit adultery and violate law and discipline, and there are also those who attack political opponents because of Cai Qu's struggle for power and profit.

Cai did take impeachment as his duty to supervise the imperial history, and at the same time offended many court officials because of this.

Cai Qu was promoted to governor in May of the second year of Yuanfeng, and since then he has stepped into the center of the imperial court and vigorously promoted Wang Anshi's reforms.

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, he was promoted to the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door, that is, the left minister of the imperial court, and his career reached its peak.

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Zhao Hui of Song Shenzong died of depression in the Funing Palace, and Zhao Xu, who was only ten years old, succeeded to the throne, and the direction of the court changed, the Empress Dowager Gao and Sima Guang mastered the power of the court, and then it was to crack down on the reformers, and the Yuanfeng Party, as the leader of the Yuanfeng Party, Cai Qu, of course, was the first to bear the brunt, and became the first person to be criticized in this unstoppable catastrophe.

Cai Qu, who was the left minister of the imperial court at the time, was impeached on the left and right for various reasons at this time, and at the same time demoted him to an official, and he was degraded again and again until he was demoted to the wild land of Lingnan.

After Cai was relegated to Lingnan, there were only three people around him, namely his concubine Pipa, and two daughters born to Pipa, one of whom was Cai Rongxue, and the situation at that time was extremely bleak.

Later, Cai Qu's concubine Pipa contracted the Lingnan miasma plague and died of this illness, and Cai Qu also died of illness in Lingnan soon after, becoming the prime minister who was demoted to death.

After listening to Cai Rongxue's story, Li Sanjian sighed in his heart, Su Shi is like this, Cai is indeed like this, even Li Sanjian, who was born in Danzhou, Qiongtai, may have something to do with it.

At this time, Li Sanjian couldn't help but feel sympathy for Cai Rongxue in his heart.

A good vigorous change has evolved into a party struggle, evolved into a party struggle, evolved into a struggle for power and profit, and is intensifying, until now there is no sign of weakening, Li Sanjian estimated that Wang Anshi did not expect such a huge change, and it is estimated that the untimely death of Emperor Shenzong is also inseparable from this.

How many wives have been separated, families have been destroyed, and life and death have been separated? has caused one human tragedy after another.

Why bother? Why bother? Li Sanjian sighed in his heart.

"You still have a sister? Where is she now? Li Sanjian then asked Cai Rongxuedao.

Cai Rongxue shook her head slightly when she heard this: "The slave family has been separated from her sister since she was a child, and I don't know where she is now. ”

After Cai Rongxue's parents died of illness in Lingnan, they were first fostered in a farmhouse, and when Cai Jing took pity on his brother and found this farmhouse, Cai Rongxue's sister was gone, and it was estimated that she should have been abducted and sold by the tooth people, I don't know where she was sold, and no one knows whether she was alive or dead at this time.

"Girl's Day mourning, below..." Li Sanjian paused for a moment and then asked, "Old Xianggong Cai should have other family members, right?" Where are they? Why is it right ... Ignoring you? ”

Li Sanjian expected that Cai Qu had many brothers, sisters, and children, why did he ignore Cai Rongxue? Left to fend for herself, even if Cai Rongxue was fostered in such a rich family as Cai Qu's brother, shouldn't it be like this? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, Cai Rongxue's relatives take her back for adoption is much better than fostering in someone else's home, right? At least there are still contacts on weekdays, at least they will take more care of Cai Rongxue, right?

"The mother is a concubine, and the slave is a concubine." Cai Rongxue replied gloomily when she heard this.

I see, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

Things are similar to Li Sanjian's estimates, Cai Qu not only has two brothers, but also many children, but no one cares or takes care of Cai Rongxue, the reason is because Cai Rongxue is born from a concubine, born to a concubine, and is born to a concubine who is not treated by them on weekdays, so after Cai Qu's death, no one in Cai Qu's family cares whether Cai Rongxue is dead or alive, and she is left to fend for herself. 12345

After Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty came into power, he also responded to Cai Qu's son to correct his father's name and return Cai Qu's house and confiscated family property, but at this time, Cai Qu's family still had no one to take care of Cai Rongxue, as if Cai Qu did not have this daughter.

What is the difference? As for it? Is it that important? Isn't it flesh and bones? Li Sanjian was secretly angry in his heart, and he was upset for Cai Rongxue.

You must know that Li Sanjian is also a concubine, Li Qing has no wife, but Fu Erniang is included in the room, and she is also a concubine, so Li Sanjian is a concubine, not born to a wife.

"Let Li Sheng laugh." Cai Rongxue then said gloomily.

"Girls don't have to be like that." Li Sanjian hurriedly said when he heard this: "I don't have the slightest intention of laughing at the girl, aunt... What's your name? "Li Sanjian still doesn't know what Cai Rongxue's name is, only that her surname is Cai, and she is called a fairy in Li Qingzhao's mouth, is she called Cai Qixian? Li Sanjian said this, so he blurted out and asked.

Where did you ask your daughter's name like this? This person is really strange, he exudes a different aura from others, what kind of person is he? Cai Rongxue said secretly in her heart.

"Where will there be a name for a slave woman?" Cai Rongxue could only answer like this.

If Cai Rongxue told the truth, she would definitely be considered frivolous by others, not what a daughter in a boudoir should do.

What's more, this is the case in this world, many women only have surnames, and no names, especially daughters from poor families, such as Fu Erniang, Li Sanjian's mother, Li Sanjian, as Fu Erniang's parent, doesn't know what Fu Erniang's name is? Maybe she doesn't have a name at all.

Fu Erniang ranks second in the family, so she is called Fu Erniang, I don't know how much Cai Rongxue ranks in the family? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Oh, in that case, how about calling the girl Cai Xiaoniang?" Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "Little lady Cai, I really don't mean to laugh at the girl, the reason is that I am also a concubine in the next, and the girl is generally born in the concubine's room." ”

Cai Rongxue is Cai Qu's young daughter, so Li Sanjian has no choice but to call her a little lady.

"You too?" Cai Rongxue's face suddenly softened when she heard this, and she asked in some surprise, and at the same time, Li Sanjian called her a little lady, which was somewhat frivolous, which made Cai Rongxue feel a little panicked and her face was a little red.

Surprised? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart, his big watery eyes flashed in surprise, and he seemed to be a little excited?

However, Cai Rongxue's bright eyes are quite good-looking, so that people dare not look directly.

"My father's surname is Li Mingqing, and he was also demoted to Danzhou in Qiongtai with his father, and after he was demoted... Li Sanjian then slowly informed Cai Rongxue of his life experience.

"The same is the same world of fallen people, why should we have known each other when we meet." Li Sanjian finally sighed.

Cai Rongxue's face turned even redder when she heard this, but fortunately, she was masked in a thin gauze and was not seen by Li Sanjian, and at the same time, she was not so embarrassed.

"The same is the same world of fallen people, why should we have known each other when we meet." This is a sentence in the "Pipa Xing" made by the Li Tang poet Bai Juyi when he was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima, and when he met the pipa girl Pingshui who fell to the end of the world, although Bai Juyi described himself and the pipa girl at first sight and sympathy for each other at first sight, but it also somewhat implied some feelings of mutual affection between the two, and there was a hint of ridicule, so Li Sanjian suddenly said this sentence at this time, and the meaning of it is difficult to guess...

He... What does he mean exactly? Cai Rongxue thought secretly.

"Little lady Cai... What happened to you? Li Sanjian saw that Cai Rongxue suddenly lowered her head and stopped answering her words, so she asked differently.

Li Sanjian suddenly found that the root of Cai Rongxue's ears was a little red, so he was even more puzzled.

"No... Nothing, you... Go on, I'll listen. Cai Rongxue replied hesitantly.

"Nothing?" Li Sanjian then asked.

"Really, really... Nothing, you... You. Cai Rongxue's face turned even redder, and she felt as if her face was on fire.

"Oh, that's good." So Li Sanjian then asked: "Little lady Cai, what is the name of your fake father?" ”

So far, Li Sanjian has never known what the name of Cai Rongxue's adoptive father is, what is Cai...

"False father? Li Sheng, you are too... Too... Ah, in the name of an adult, how dare you commit the name of an adult as a daughter? Cai Rongxue replied.

It's too ugly to hear, the maid Xiaoqin said in her heart.

Really, isn't it just asking for names? As for it? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, didn't he report to his family just now? How can there be so many taboos?

Besides, Cai Rongxue had already mentioned her father's name, why did she not want to mention her adoptive father's name at this time? Li Sanjian was puzzled.
