On the Mansion of the Marquis of Qishan.

For the major event of worshipping ancestors, it is natural to prepare early, and the Qishan Marquis Mansion is no exception, even if their ancestors are not the Murong family who are going to worship now.

Mrs. Qishanhou had already arranged these things, and she only waited for Yuan He to worship her ancestors.

But another person from the Qishan Hou Mansion was so anxious that he burned the ants in a hot pot, and on the day of Yuanhe, the Hou of Qi Mountain actually wanted to eat boiling water cabbage, so this problem was pressed on the county lord of Yun'an, after all, she personally admitted that the boiling water cabbage was from her craftsmanship that day.

When she found out that this dish came out of the palace, she took a lot of effort to ask for it and ordered a lot of things, and finally got the answer that the dish was not made by the cook in the imperial dining room at all, and even they didn't know who it was.

Now the girl is throwing dishes in the kitchen and throwing a tantrum.

When Mrs. Qishanhou learned the news, she laughed so hard that her heart twitched, let you be embarrassed in front of me, a wild girl who was born as a beggar dares to be presumptuous in front of me, but this Yun'an is really stupid, Mrs. Qishanhou doesn't bother to confront her head-on, just waiting to see how she can kill herself in this Guangling.

Mrs. Qi Shanhou was waiting for this wild girl to show her feet, seeing her ugly state that she couldn't justify herself, but who knew that she was waiting for the news of Yun'an's injury.

"Madam, madam, the lord of Yun'an accidentally cut his finger while cooking in the kitchen, and the Hou Ye called Lang Zhong to take a look, it seems to be quite serious, madam, you can also go and take a look." The cronies around Mrs. Qi Shanhou hurriedly reported.

Mrs. Qi Shanhou was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly at random: "This little beggar really has to do it in order not to show his stuffing, how can I say that he is also a stepmother, of course I have to go and see." ”

No matter how she behaves, Mrs. Qi Shanhou should only watch a good show, one lie is destined to be ten lies to round the field, but how many people can be in the end?

An irreparable lie will slowly destroy a person in countless lies, how long can Yun An hold on?

Mrs. Qishanhou kicked at the door, and remembered something again: "Since the county lord is not lightly injured, how can an ordinary Langzhong do it, you send someone to the palace to ask for a hospital to see, and then ask someone to go to the imperial dining room to inquire about who made boiling water cabbage that day." ”

What Mrs. Qi Shanhou wants is to hold Yun'an, and when she is hungry, she will eat and drink well, and if she likes something, she will forcibly take it and send it, and if her finger is injured, it must be seen by the doctor, such a pampered habit is undoubtedly killed.

The methods of the people of the Qishan Marquis Mansion are not necessarily good-looking, she just invisibly makes Yun'an have a hard time for the rest of his life.

The errand entered the palace according to the words, and Mrs. Qishanhou approached the small courtyard of the lord of Yun'an to see how the little hoof was injured.

In the evening, the people sent by Mrs. Qishanhou finally came back, but not empty-handed, it was the New Year's Pass, the emperor heard that Qishanhou's condition had improved, and now he saw that the lord of Yun'an was also injured, and he was very worried, so he personally sent two imperial doctors to visit, and rewarded some high-grade ginseng bird's nest, as well as the New Year's gift issued by the Queen Mother.

Mrs. Qi Shanhou thought to herself: The injury is an injury, and she made a small cut, and she also screamed.

The palace grandmother who came with the reward said: "The queen mother is very relieved to see that the marquis of Qi Shanhou is in good health, and her old man said that these ginseng bird's nests sent by the emperor do not need to be used first, and they are too supplementative. ”

Qi Shanhou hurriedly thanked him.

Mama said again: "It's still the rule of previous years, Madame is ready to sacrifice, the emperor pities the Hou Ye's family background, and he has already regarded the Hou Ye as his own person in the Murong family, and he may come in person to worship the ancestors of Murong when the time comes." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was not right, although the Mu family was assigned as a slave by the emperor of the previous dynasty, but the descendants of the Mu family who later declined died in whose hands, everyone knew that the emperor mentioned this matter, it was nothing more than a routine beating, so that the Qishanhou family could be at peace.

"Yes, thanks to the Holy Emperor's grace." Mrs. Qishanhou knelt down without smiling.

Weak family background? Doesn't this mean that her children are not of Qi Shanhou blood? But Mrs. Qishanhou didn't say anything, after all, she was the person in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and she couldn't be offended, so she said a few good words to Mama alone, gave some 'New Year's gifts' to Mama, and then sent her out of Qishanhou's Mansion with a smile on her face.

Before leaving, gossip about Yun'an's injury, Mrs. Qishan Hou said: "Yun'an is also a piece of filial piety, the Hou Ye wanted to eat the boiling cabbage, so the girl went down to the kitchen, but she accidentally made a small cut on her hand, and the pain was unbearable, and she said that it would be good for the doctor to show her, thank you for your concern." ”

When the old lady heard this, the expression on her face could be described as wonderful, she cut her hand, and even sent two imperial doctors to see, it is the New Year's Pass, and this Yun'an county lord is really ignorant.

If nothing else, this matter will definitely reach the ears of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and Mrs. Qi Shanhou's little shoes are not at all worn.

Soon, the people around Mrs. Qi Shanhou here also publicized Yun'an's minor injury to the labor imperial doctor, confirming her arrogant and arrogant character.

This year's gift in the palace is not only from the Marquis of Qishan's mansion, as soon as she goes out, Mama rushes to the Zhongyong Mansion again.

Mrs. Qi Shanhou achieved her goal, and she couldn't help but watch a good show in her heart, and put a fire on Yun'an's body, and said: "Thanks to the Empress Dowager's gift, in a few days, the county lord of Yun'an doesn't have to prepare any thanks, just prepare two servings of boiling water cabbage to honor the Empress Dowager and the emperor." ”

Isn't this killing Yun'an?

But now Yun An didn't know about it, and she was still lying in the room complacent about her wit.

Following.

The emperor didn't come, but it was the King of Qin who came, Murong Zixiao.

Mrs. Qishan Hou greeted him warmly, and when the county lord of Yun'an, who had been in the house, heard the news, he also hurried to the lobby from the house.

Mrs. Qishanhou saw the county lord of Yun'an, who was not out of the door by recuperating from her injuries, and hurriedly greeted her, staging a scene of mother-daughter affection, and by the way, she said to Yun'an: "Yun'an, why are you up?" Your hand was injured yesterday, isn't it impossible to move? ”

Murong Zixiao subconsciously looked at Yun An's hand, only to see that her index finger was bandaged with a circle of white gauze, he was used to fighting on the battlefield, this little injury was like scratching the skin to him, it was really insignificant, and he couldn't help but have some doubts.

Yun An faced Mrs. Qi Shanhou, naturally she couldn't show weakness, she twisted her thighs hard, and her eyes immediately burst into tears, looking weak: "What about the pain?" On such a day, King Qin also ran in person, no matter how difficult it was, it was not rude to hold on to the meeting, besides, I still have to accompany my father. ”

Murong Zixiao saw her weak but tenacious appearance, his heart immediately softened, although he didn't like women, he also knew that his daughter was weaker than men, and he thought that her hand was really seriously injured: "It's been busy lately, if there is nothing to do, I won't bother much." ”

Yun An came out not only to show his face, but also to send King Qin out of the Hou Mansion with courtesy.

"I actually have something I want to ask King Qin, how is King Pingye doing?"

How do you ask me about this kind of thing? "If my aunt wants to know, I can ask my eldest brother."

Seeing that King Qin had misunderstood what he meant, Yun An hurriedly said: "I was really scared in my heart because of the princess's affair that day, so——"

At present, the position of the crown prince under his father is undecided, but Yun An has extended an olive branch to him, does the Marquis of Qishan want to win him over and serve him as the master? King Qin was not sure, and said in his mouth: "I see, in fact, it's nothing, the Marquis of Qi Shan is the uncle of the emperor, our family, how can we care about this little collision, if you really can't rest assured, I will say a few words to the eldest brother when I go back, and this matter will pass like this." ”

King Qin's words hinted obviously, and it was difficult for Yun An to understand it, so he said happily: "Then thank you King Qin, there will be heavy thanks if it is done!" ”

"Oh?" King Qin became interested.

Yun An only revealed his meaning: "It must be King Qin's favorite, and King Qin will wait." ”

What do you like? It seems that Yun An is very good at doing what he likes, I don't know what kind of beautiful man he is.

King Qin actually looked forward to it for a while, and then said goodbye to Yun An.

Yun An smiled at him, curts, and watched King Qin leave.

King Qin is the second prince, and he holds the military power, although the king of Pingye and the emperor in the early years of the founding of the country, but because the emperor is in the prime of life, so he gradually withdrew the military power, let him be the director of the court, such a delicate balance, now the king of Qin is also very likely to become the crown prince.

However, Yun An thought about the battle for imperial power simply, and when he saw that Murong Zixiao was favored, he thought that the position of the crown prince was in his pocket, and he was busy stammering with others, if he could have a good relationship with King Qin, who would dare to be rude to her in Guangling in the future?

King Qin is accustomed to striding meteors, not short streets, and soon walked without a figure, Yun An was about to go back to the house, who knew that behind her was standing a handsome middle-aged man, although he was in his thirties and very weak, but he could still see the previous appearance of this person, which must be extraordinary.

Yun An might as well Qi Shanhou appeared silently, startled, and thought to himself, shouldn't he be on the hospital bed? Why did you come out on your own?

"Dad, it's so cold outside, why are you up?"

Qi Shanhou seemed to be in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking, a pair of eyes were erratic and there were no bright spots, making him look muddy, he really didn't look like a normal person, Yun An thought that his father was not only in bad health, but also had bad eyes, could it be that he also had a problem with his brain?

Yun An thought a little maliciously, if she really had some problems with her brain, it would be okay, she didn't bother to deal with it.

"Dad, where are you going?"

This time, the man suddenly heard her voice, and a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he answered a few words in a row, and then stopped talking.

Yun An helplessly put on a smiling face, and then ordered someone to take a coat out and put it on Qi Shanhou: "That's good, it's also bright to go out for a walk, where is Dad going, Yun An will accompany you, okay?" ”

The man nodded, and the woman helped him to walk where he wanted to go.

Last night, the first snow of the winter fell in Guangling.

Who knew that the place where Qi Shanhou was going was quite far away, he walked out of the city gate in a circle, hired a carriage at the post station set up outside the city, and then set foot on the outskirts, Yun An suddenly regretted a little, he knew that he would call a few more people, and he would serve Qi Shanhou, now he is alone, he has to carry everything by himself, and after sitting in the carriage, Yun An was a little unhappy on his face.

Qi Shanhou sat across from her in a daze, but he had already wandered away, and he didn't notice anything wrong with the silence of the Yun'an County Lord, anyway, his eyes had already blurred his vision, and he couldn't understand it.

About two hours later, as soon as the carriage was dismounted, the groom was waiting, and the place was already on the outskirts, and the snow was quite thick all around, and it looked like it was falling a little heavier than in the city.

Yun An shuddered, Qi Shanhou's thin body didn't seem to feel anything, he didn't even bother to shrink his neck, and when he saw the small mountain bags covered by heavy snow, Yun An's face was snow-white.

This is a desolate grave!

Or it is the place where the corpses of criminals in Beijing are thrown, commonly known as mass graves, most of them are thrown here by officers and soldiers, and then they are buried by their families who dig a pit indiscriminately, except for the bones, there is not even a rank.

"Daddy, what is this?" Yun An was so frightened that he trembled, and Qi Shanhou looked like he was just now, he buried his head and walked straight to the deepest part of a deserted tomb.

"Daddy!" Yun An didn't dare to go inside, but if he didn't follow, would he want to stay here with a groom he didn't know? Thinking about it this way, Qi Shanhou was more trustworthy, so she could only follow Qi Shanhou inside.

When she chased the past, she found that Qi Shanhou stopped in front of a tombstone, this tombstone was exquisitely made, and it was completely different from those lonely tombs.

Yun An felt strange, who was this person, not only did the Marquis of Qi Shan come to worship, but even other people came to worship?

But if it's a big man, how can he be buried here?

"Hey, there are several bunches of incense and candles, it seems that someone has been here."

Qi Shanhou didn't think it was strange, every year, he was not the only one who came to worship him, but when Yun An saw the words on the tombstone, he was shocked.

"Dad, this... This is?! "When Yun'an was brought back by Qi Shanhou, he didn't know the big characters, but now that he invited Mr., he only knew a few big characters.

"This is your Uncle Luo, Yun An, kneel."

The person engraved on the tombstone is Luo Qingwen.

Yun An knew that the Hou of Qi Shan's family was also surnamed Luo, and the Hou of Qi Mountain was also called Luo Qingwen, was this just a coincidence? Or are the two inextricably linked?

Yun An was originally resistant to this, so when Qi Shanhou asked her to kneel, she was very unwilling, but she had to please Qi Shanhou, and immediately knelt down obediently and kowtowed: "Niece Yun'an, come to worship uncle." ”

Luo Qingwen was satisfied, he also approached, stroked Yun An's hair, and said to the snow-covered tombstone: "I originally wanted to go with you, but I still have Yun An's big stone in my heart now, and when I fulfill these wishes, I will come to make amends to you." ”

Before Yun An could react to the meaning of Qi Shanhou's words, he saw Qi Shanhou suddenly bang, his knees on the stone steps of kneeling, Yun An felt pain when he heard it, and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

But soon she knew what was going on, and there was a cup of food in these offerings, which was placed directly in front of the tribute, which seemed inconspicuous, but as soon as she got closer, she could smell the tempting umami.

Luo Qingwen couldn't see it very clearly, and under the groping of his hands, he immediately opened the dish, and Huo Ran unfolded a clear white lotus inside, which was the boiling water cabbage!

This familiar taste, he will never forget it for the rest of his life, Qi Shanhou didn't care about the image, he directly picked up a petal with his hand and put it directly in his mouth, and the refreshing and sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue.

Luo Qingwen's eyes were slightly stunned, as if he felt incredible, he looked at Yun An's shadow beside him, his expression was complicated, but after a while, he became ecstatic again.

He seems to have finally touched the truth he has been seeking for a long time, but the truth is too ethereal.

That's it!

The wind and snow are silent.

Luo Qingwen asked again, in addition to the boiling water cabbage, is there a few snacks here.

Yun An couldn't answer, she recognized these snacks, but she didn't dare to tell Qi Shanhou inexplicably, she remembered Qi Shanhou's ecstasy, and even after he found herself, she was also so ecstatic.

She thought that this joy would always belong to herself, but now, in front of her, Qi Shanhou showed extraordinary care for these snacks and dishes.

Yun An's intuition told her that it seemed that once she spoke out, she would lose her only support.

"Dad, what are you talking about? All you see is boiling cabbage, nothing else. Yun An moved his body and blocked the inconspicuous but delicate dim sum.

"I seem to see that there are indeed a few snacks, Yun'an, you can bring them to me." Luo Qingwen still didn't let go, before he changed, his eyes were inconvenient, as long as it was what Yun An said, he was convinced, but today he was extremely stubborn, and his eyes also had a different look from before.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? I said no, no, don't you believe Yun'an? ”

"Give it to me!" Luo Wenqing suddenly shouted, he has always been like his name, an elegant and weak man, at this moment he is like a flood beast, Yun An has never seen such a Qi Shan Hou, at this moment the majesty of Qi Shan Hou is beyond sight, Yun An knelt at his feet, and he never had humility and fear.

Her body went limp, and she fell crooked in front of the tombstone, and a strange sense of frustration told her that if she didn't stop Qi Shanhou, then she might really lose something.

Yun An suddenly groaned, as if she was greatly frightened, and the whole person hit the tombstone, and the corners of her forehead quickly bled out, and she also collapsed to the ground, but the snacks on those small plates were also knocked over by her.

Qi Shanhou frowned, and hurriedly called: "Yun'an? What happened to you? ”

Yun An's painful voice came: "Well——, I'm fine, I just accidentally fell." ”

Yun'an's old tricks are repeated, this time it should be foolproof to hide the past, right?

Who knew that Qi Shanhou didn't really care about this question, he himself groped in front of Luo Qingwen's tombstone with the residual vision that he could only see, and then stretched out his thin five fingers to find the dim sum he vaguely saw.
