Yu Zhilong is young and promising, and now he is the head of the army, and they all say that talented women are good at making pairs, looking at the young men around him, Xin found that Yu Zhilong is the most suitable! It is rare to hear a few people around me say that Yu Zhilong also seems to have some affection for Lan, and he has personally talked to Yu Lan. And Yu Lan also entered the Jing'an Army barracks, and turned the door to deliver medicine to Yu Zhilong.

This Nizi did things to hide from the old lady, if it wasn't for the careful inquiry, the Xin family still didn't know.

It's a pity that Yu Zhilong has the same surname as Yu Lan, which is not very easy to do.

There have been records since the Western Zhou Dynasty, such as in "Chinese • Jin Yu IV", "The same surname is not married, and the fear is not colonized." In "Zuo Chuan • Twenty-three Years of the Duke of Xu", "men and women have the same surname, and their lives are not rich".

According to the Tang law, a person with the same surname will be sentenced to two years in prison if he marries, and if he is a person of the same clan, he will be punished for adultery. This law has survived since the Song Dynasty, but the punishment may be dealt with differently. The Song and Yuan dynasties also had the law of "dry the rod and leave it".

Since ancient times, many heirlooms have originated from the fiefdoms of their ancestors, or from clans and tribes, or from official positions and skills, such as Qi, Lu, Ji, Situ, Jun, Bu, Tao, etc. It is not like the surname Wang, and the origin is quite mixed, especially in later generations, there are many surnames that have been changed to the surname Wang for various reasons.

In the early days, people with the same surname were descendants handed down from one ancestor, and people with the same surname did not marry, mainly to avoid close relatives marrying and having children, so that the offspring would not have a high probability of deformity or mental retardation. It is only in modern times that people have finally understood that true consanguineous marriage is the most likely to cause genetic defects in offspring.

Although the ancients did not understand the principle, they had many years of experience and said that they would not marry with the same surname.

The Xin family used to regret it, and Yu Lan also had this concern. Although they are women's families, the tradition of secular etiquette still has a great influence on them.

In the past, everyone was constantly running around, being chased by the official army and exhausted, no one would pay too much attention to the possible relationship between Yu Zhilong and Yu Lan, but now that it has been stable for more than a month, some of them have begun to talk about the shortcomings of the parents of each family. I have seen Yu Zhilong look for Guo Lan in the city several times, and the affection between the two during the day has fallen into the eyes of others.

Seeing that Yu Lan didn't want to talk more, Xin knew that his daughter's family was always a little shy in their own affairs, so he put down the needle and thread in his hand and said to Lan: "A few days ago, I asked Brother Zhao Shi privately and asked about Yu Zhilong's genealogy. ”

"Mother, what are you asking for?" Yu Lan was shocked, then ashamed, put down the needle and thread in her hand, and couldn't help but say coquettishly, but finally couldn't hold back her thoughts, and couldn't help asking, "Then what did Brother Zhao Shi say?" ”

"You!" With a snort, Xin couldn't help but laugh, and pointed his finger on Yu Lan's head. Don't look at Yu Lan always pretending to be okay in front of her mother, but now when she heard that the Xin family actually asked about Yu Zhilong's family tree, this Fang couldn't help but pound in her heart.

"It is estimated that only Brother Zhao Shi in this city can know some things about Yu Zhilong's family, although he doesn't know the eight characters of his birthday, but the good news is that Yu Zhilong's ancestor is actually the adopted son of the Yu family, and his ancestor should be other surnames, not surnamed Yu."

"Really! That's what Brother Zhao said? Yu Lan was overjoyed, and his voice became louder. The soles of his shoes were gone, and he put them on the table, holding his mother's hand tightly with both hands.

"Yes—" Xin reached out and stroked Yu Lan's fair face lovingly, Yu Lan couldn't do these things herself, so she had to inquire about it herself. "Now you can rest assured!"

When Yu Lan heard Xin say this, she naturally understood that her mother was satisfied with Zhilong, and now she knew that the two of them did not have the same surname and the same clan, so there was no obstacle that was inconsistent with the laws of the world, at least there was no need to worry about others talking about it behind her back!

Yu Lan shyly snuggled into her mother's arms, hugged her mother with both hands, hugged her mother tightly with her pretty face, and said forcefully: "It's still the best mother, Lan'er has nothing to worry about!" ”

Xiao Qian pursed her lips and chuckled beside her, Yu Lan gave her a roll of the eyes, Xiao Qian didn't speak, just stretched out a white finger and scraped her little face a few times.

"If everything goes well after this war, my mother will tell your brother, and after he agrees, I will ask Yu Zhilong's mind. As long as you are willing, my mother will officially ask someone to decide this matter. ”

Yu Lanxi said: "Let my mother bother!" It doesn't need to be so fast! Besides, I'm afraid my brother won't be very willing. ”

"How can he not care about his sister-in-law? You can't let your sister never get married for your own sake! ”

The two chatted happily, Xiaoqian had fun, and congratulated Yu Lan.

They were chatting happily when they suddenly heard a large number of chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard, as well as muffled cursing and shouting. Soon there was a knock on the door, loud and urgent, as if the person was in an unusually impatient mood.

The sound of the door banging at night suddenly came out, which naturally alarmed everyone in this courtyard. The people who live in this courtyard are all military families, divided into the main courtyard and the left and right side courtyards, and there are more than 50 people living in more than a dozen side rooms inside and outside, except for the old and weak are women, and the door of the courtyard is latched at night.

Because of the special identities of the Xin family and Yu Lan, the courtyard of the master bedroom was left for them to use, and the Xiaoqian sisters lived in the wing room.

An old man dressed in a coat, kicked cloth shoes and hurriedly went out to open the door, since the Shuntian army entered the city, the city is still safe, night thieves and so on are almost extinct, occasionally appear a few thieves who are not long-eyed have long been caught by the yacha and so on, and locked in the county jail.

The drizzle, which had been falling all day yesterday, stopped this morning, and there was still standing water in the depression of the path. Lao Suo walked slowly, and the people outside the hospital were impatient, and they kept urging while banging on the door.

As soon as Lao Suo opened the courtyard door, more than a dozen sergeants came in, holding torches high, holding knives and guns in their hands, with a vicious attitude.

"Search everywhere carefully, don't let the spy go! Call everyone up and gather them all into the big house! A leader-looking sergeant ordered loudly. The soldiers suddenly agreed, leaving two people to handle the courtyard door, and the rest of the sergeants drove out the men, women, and children who entered the various wings to stay overnight, and brought them to the main hall of the house.

For a time, the whole courtyard was in a commotion, everyone woke up from a dream, faint and didn't know why, saw the sergeant who entered the house with a fierce face and rude movements, some people also opened their mouths to ask or scolded angrily, but the sergeant didn't ask the reason at all, a big mouth fanned over, and immediately beat the person to a stagger, fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while. Xin, Yu Lan and the others were all surprised, and under the scolding of the soldiers, they carried Nini, who was already asleep, and was pushed into the hall of the front hall by the soldiers. Yu Lan looked around, but he didn't know the faces of these soldiers. I don't know who they belong to.

The number of people in the hall gradually increased, and soon all the people in the wings of the courtyard were gathered here. The leader ordered the door of the compound to be closed, leaving a few guards behind, and he himself brought all the people in, and then closed the doors and windows of the hall. More than a dozen soldiers in the house stood around these family members, all the steel knives unsheathed, and the snow-bright blades shone with a terrible cold light against the torches.

"Are you all together?" The leader asked. A sergeant next to him stepped forward and replied, "People have been driven out of every house, and that's all there are in this courtyard tonight." ”

The leader was not at ease and said, "Count the number of people!" A few soldiers came out and simply arranged the dozens of people in the house into six or seven rows, and then counted the heads one by one.

"Adults, there are fifty-six people in total, including adults and children, there are many of them."

Hearing the soldier's answer, everyone in the house felt very strange, all the people living in this courtyard were military dependents, I wonder why these soldiers took care of themselves? Yu Lan and other young women used to take care of the wounded in various departments, and many soldiers in various departments knew a lot, but these people didn't even know each other!

"Which of your general's subordinates are you, and why do you act like this at night?" Yu Lan asked first. These people had a vicious attitude and treated them as if they were prisoners.

"On the order of the general, a Tartar spy was found in the city, and now the whole city is under martial law, and it is searched house by house!" The boss shouted.

"There is a spy, who is it? Is it in our courtyard? ”

"Nonsense, there are people who know the roots here, what kind of spies are there?" When people heard it, they couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Yu Lan frowned when she heard this, and always felt that the incident happened suddenly and quite strangely. "Who are you? On the orders of which general? You have gathered us here, but you say that the spies are among us? Yu Lan asked continuously.

The leader stepped forward to take a closer look at Yu Lan, and a sergeant came over with a torch to illuminate it. Yu Lan was not afraid, separated the few people in front of him, and stood up by himself.

A soldier dressed up and approached the leader and said, "This woman is the daughter of Yu Hai, Yu Lan!" ”

"Oh, you're Yu Lan?" The leader's eyes lit up, he didn't expect this daughter of Yu Hai to be so handsome.

"It seems that you are not a veteran of the Shuntian Army, why don't you know me!"

"We are General Liu Qi's subordinates, and we are under the military order of King Shun to search for spies in the city, and some people have reported that you are mixed with details, and they will be investigated one by one today!" The boss is colorful. "If you dare to resist, you will not be spared first!"

"Such a big matter, why don't you see General Qu Bo or King Shuntian's personal guards!" Yu Lan Daqi asked quietly.

"Of course, the old man of King Shuntian is sitting in the mansion, why do some thieves need his old man to do it himself. Now it is General Liu Qi who has been ordered to search the whole city, if you have no ghosts in your hearts, just wait. The leader replied. After speaking, with a wave of his right hand, a few people came forward behind him, and began to screen the people who had been arranged in several rows in the room, and from time to time pulled out a few people from them and let them stand aside alone.

After a while, the more than 50 people were divided into two groups, Xin's and Yu Lan and others were divided together, and Xiaoqian and Nini were divided into the other side. Nini had already been awakened by the noise, seeing the bright blade in front of her, she was too frightened to speak, her little hands tightly grasped her sister's hand, only a few children were awakened, and they didn't know how to let go of their mouths and cry, and then their mother covered their mouths and whispered. These people have fierce faces and unfamiliar faces, and under the candle flame, the bright blades reflect the cold light from time to time, which is completely different from the most kind Shuntian soldiers in the past.

Some knowledgeable women, such as Yu Lan and others, clearly felt that the coldness and gore hidden under the cold faces of these people were definitely beyond the possession of the newly attached soldiers.

The leader carefully looked at the number and the faces of the people, waved his hand again, and several sergeants came up and pressed a group of women and children out of the hall and locked them directly into a side room, leaving two people to stand guard outside. Xin, Yu Lan and others were left in the hall. Yu Lan turned her head to look around, and the women and children left in the lobby were all family members of officers at all levels in the army.

Xiao Qian and Nini were reluctant to part with Yu Lan, but these soldiers beat and scolded when they saw this, and finally they were forced to take them out.
