Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 20 I Don't Know Mulan Is a Girl (Part II)
"However, I'm still quite curious about your background, your intelligence can't be cultivated after reading a few books," Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but ask: "On the contrary, it seems that you have experienced the influence of a good education, your family background should be good, why did you end up with the craftsmen in the guard?" ”
"My family history...... I said, Brother Yu, will you believe it? Ah Tian bit his lip.
"Will I believe it, you ask? How big is this? Jiang Yuyan became more curious, and his mind couldn't help but start thinking about it. Could it be that Ah Tian is the daughter of Ming Yingzong who has been exiled among the people? Are you going to become the hero of a court novel?
Ah Tian slowly sat up from the bed, bent his knees, gently wrapped his legs, lowered his head, and rested his chin on his legs: "I am the daughter of Mu Sheng, the Duke of the Great Ming Dynasty. ”
"What?" Jiang Yu was struck by lightning, he thought that Ah Tian was very big, but he didn't expect it to be so big. It is naturally impossible to say that it is the daughter of Ming Yingzong, but he originally guessed that this Ah Tian may have something to do with the high-ranking officials and gentry in Yunnan, but it is really beyond his imagination that it is Mu Sheng's daughter.
The Mu family in Yunnan is the only aristocratic family in the Ming Dynasty in addition to the royal family of the Zhu family. Mu Ying, the ancestor of the family, was adopted as an adopted son by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, when he was eight years old, and was the founder of the Ming Dynasty. And Mu Sheng is Mu Ying's second son, and he was named the hereditary Duke of Qianguo because of his merits.
Since Mu Ying pacified Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty, the Mu family has mastered the military power of Yunnan for generations, guarding Yunnan for hundreds of years, until the difficulty of the Southern Ming Dynasty spelling water, and the last Qianguo Duke Mu Tianbo died in battle, the Mu family has always been the most powerful family in Yunnan.
Jiang Yufu had seen the calculations of the property of the Mu family in Yunnan before crossing over, and concluded that the Mu family's Zhuangtian actually accounted for one-third of the total land in Yunnan, which could be regarded as a prince. Even if there may be a certain error, it is enough to prove the prestige of the Mu family.
He is now just a small hundred households on the battlefield in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and suddenly found that the acquaintance in front of him was actually the daughter of the Duke of Qianguo in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, this feeling has surpassed the wonder, and it can be regarded as shocking.
"You...... Since she is the daughter of the Duke of Qianguo, why did she fall to the point of being taken in by the craftsmen of the guard? Although Jiang Yuyan didn't think that Ah Tian had any need to lie to himself about this kind of thing, after all, he already trusted and valued her very much, but he still couldn't believe that it was true.
"My mother is just the concubine of the Duke of Qianguo, because Mrs. Zhengfang doesn't like her, so she doesn't even have the qualifications to live in Mu Mansion, but fortunately, my father built a courtyard on the shore of Cuihu, and my mother and I can live." Ah Tian slowly talked about the past.
"Originally, my father liked our mother and daughter very much and took care of them. My mother loves poetry and songs, and I have studied with her since I was a child, and after my father found out, he asked several gentlemen to teach me to read and write," Ah Tian recalled the past, and his eyes flashed again.
"When I was young, I was quite stubborn, I liked all kinds of anecdotes, exquisite playthings, Mr. Xixi happened to be proficient in all kinds of miscellaneous studies, in order to vote for my favor, he taught me all kinds of natural and weft, KitKat crafts." Ah Tian said, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curved slightly, revealing a shallow smile.
Jiang Yuyan also nodded when he heard this: "Qian Guogong still likes your mother and daughter very much, so what happened later?" ”
"All the changes are accompanied by the attack of this Luchuan, ten years ago, four years of orthodoxy, my father was ordered by the Holy God to crusade against Luchuan, because the war did not go well and was blamed by the Holy Lord, and then died of a sudden illness." The light in Ah Tian's eyes slowly dimmed again.
"After that, my wife was angry with my mother, thinking that she caused my father to neglect military affairs, and finally failed to defeat Luchuan, and drove me and my mother and a few slaves out of the courtyard, and my mother had nowhere to go, so she had to take me to Qujing Mansion to join relatives."
"I didn't expect to encounter thieves on the road, only I was flexible and escaped, and my mother was killed by the gangster in front of me." Speaking of this, there was a kind of indifferent calm on Ah Tian's face, ten years later, she had accepted that tragedy, but judging from the way she deliberately held her emotions, she still couldn't let go at all.
"After that, you ended up in Qujingwei?" Jiang Yugang also has a rough understanding of this girl's life experience.
"Actually, I didn't know it was the health center at the time, but I just looked at the farmland and thought that there were people, so I went to see it, but I didn't expect to faint from hunger just when I arrived in the vicinity, it was Zhang Dake's grandfather, the old craftsman of the health center fed me food and water to pick up a life." Ah Tian said, and there was also a bit of remembrance for the old man in his voice.
"After that, you didn't choose to go to your relatives' house or go back to Mufu? The lady of the year is no longer here, and the person in charge of the house is still your brother. Jiang Yugang asked again.
Ah Tian shook his head: "I don't want to send anyone to the fence anymore, after my mother dies, I have no property on me, whether it is a relative's house or Mufu, without the relationship between my mother, I can't stay anymore." ”
"And here in the guard, Zhang Dake's grandfather took me as an adopted son because he saw my dexterity - the old man always thought I was a man, and he wanted me to worship Dake, I stayed very well in the guard, so I didn't think about leaving."
Jiang Yugang listened to what Ah Tian said, this girl was peaceful, but his heart began to turn over the river and the sea, with her performance and what she said, there is a good chance that things are true, she can not care about Mu Fu, choose to pretend to be a man to do things outside, and no longer send people under the fence, he Jiang Yugang can't care.
If he makes good use of this opportunity, but there is a chance to have a relationship with the Duke of Qianguo, thinking of this, Jiang Yugang's palms are a little sweaty, and he wants to speak, but he finds that his throat is so dry and hoarse that he can't make a sound, and he thinks it is also because of excessive excitement.
"Brother Yu, I am Ah Tian, a craftsman from the guard, not the Mu family, and now I am your soldier, you must not have any worries because I am a woman or my past." Ah Tian raised his head and looked at Jiang Yu's eyes seriously and said.
Ah Tian's words ruthlessly interrupted Jiang Yu's thoughts, and he also talked about his desire to rely on Ah Tian to pull the relationship between the Mu family.
He touched his head a little embarrassedly: "There won't be any worries or anything, but I still have some thoughts about you." ”
"That'...... What do you want to do? Ah Tian looked at Jiang Yuyan timidly, and his face slowly flushed.
"I ...... I," Jiang Yu was speechless for a moment, he looked at Ah Tian wrapped in his quilt, and felt that the atmosphere began to become a little ambiguous.
He originally wanted to say that he still thought that you should not give up the relationship with the Mu family, but from Ah Tian's reaction, he suddenly found that she and himself didn't seem to be thinking on the same line, and the two of them seemed to think of different things.
Jiang Yugang just wanted to explain, but he saw that the appearance of Ah Tian, whose face was crimson, was particularly bright and moving, and at the same time, Jiang Yuran's heart swayed for a while, and at the same time, it made him feel that if he said what he was thinking, it would hurt the girl's self-esteem too much.
Originally, Ah Tian said that he had nothing to do with the Mu family, he was himself, and now he mentioned the Mu family, wouldn't it prove that in his eyes, Ah Tian's own value is still inferior to that layer of Mu family's bloodline? He Jiang Yu can't do that kind of thing for such a moving girl.
