"Actually, I wasn't here. My sister and I are twin children, I have been weak since I was a child, and when I was four years old, I was sent by my family to Jiangnan to grow up with my grandmother. My sister is different from me. Le Ran's voice was tinged with a hint of bitterness, "Actually, many people say that it's good to change my sister's name with me." My sister has been a boy's temperament since she was a child, and she has never been interested in embroidered female red c qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she follows the house's children to dance knives and guns, and she is not idle for a moment. My father loved my mother very much, and because my mother contracted an illness during childbirth, he never wanted my mother to go to the ghost gate again. But childlessness is always unfilial, so my father succeeded my cousin. ”

The girl sipped a cup of tea, but her thoughts drifted away.

From the first year of Jia.

With the change of dynasties and the rotation of heaven, Sheng Qian experienced a lot of twists and turns, and finally tended to calm down after the new emperor Mo Chenfeng ascended the throne.

Although it is said that he was once a son of heaven and a courtier, there is nothing in this world that can be achieved overnight.

Whether the officials left over from the previous dynasty should go or stay, how to distribute them, and what they should do have become the first problem to be solved after the new emperor ascended the throne.

There are some families that were once prominent in the previous dynasty who were unwilling to fall into the world, and wanted to take advantage of the new dynasty's unstable career to make a big career, but they were uprooted by Mo Chenfeng, such as the Mu family; There are also some families who tend to settle down and only want to protect the upper and lower families of the clan to retire voluntarily, such as the Nie family; There are also some people who know the times who have already switched sides and become followers of the new emperor and guard dogs of the new dynasty, such as the Gao family.

With the Mu family's attempted rebellion in front, those families who kept saying that they wanted to disarm and return to the field and retired to the world even if they gave full sincerity, the new emperor still refused to let them go. Under the stalemate, those who were already in high positions came up with a way to relieve the new emperor's worries - all families who want to return to seclusion must sign an agreement that the next generation of the family will never have a male again, as for the male born born by the family itself, it will be handled by the family itself, and this agreement must not be passed on, otherwise the family will be destroyed and the nine clans will be connected.

This method is brilliant, not only to ensure that those families who want to return to seclusion will no longer have the ability to confront the imperial court, but also to take the power of those retired families for themselves in a predictable time, and to show the unsuspecting world the tolerance of the new imperial court.

Some families are unwilling, you must know that the next generation of a big family does not have a male It means that the family will inevitably decline, but Mo Chenfeng's thunderous methods shocked all those who were delusional and ready to move, and in order to protect themselves, those families who voluntarily retired could only sign this agreement.

Gao Fei, the head of the Gao family, also expressed his heartfelt feelings by virtue of this incident, and rose to the top in the days to come, until he sat in the position of the right minister.

Those retired families can no longer become popular, and they once stood out for a while, but they don't want to end up scattered all over the world.

The Nie family finally settled in Qizhou, not far from Shengjing.

Qizhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the scenery is beautiful, and there are many springs, known as "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake".

Such a place must be beautiful and beautiful, and the people are outstanding.

There are two major families in Qizhou, namely the Fang family who are officials and the Hu family who are doing business.

Fang Yeming, the head of the Fang family, was originally the parent official of Shanghe County, Qizhou, wearing a black gauze hat, caring about the flies and dogs in the officialdom, without merit and fault, belonging to the conservatives, and his political achievements are reasonable, and then he didn't know how to get into the eyes of Gao Fei, the right minister, and sang all the way from the county order of Shanghe County to become the prefect of Qizhou County.

For a while, Qizhou County was full of messages, and there were all kinds of things on the streets and alleys, but there were two of the most credible, one was that this Fang Yeming couldn't be an official, but his adopted daughter was a good hand, and he sent several daughters one after another, all the way to Gao Fei's feet; There is also a saying that when Fang Yeming was the magistrate of Shanghe, he happened to catch the remnants of the former dynasty who had fled here, and this Fang Yeming made a good calculation, understanding that he could not afford this monstrous wealth and nobility, so it was better to send a favor to the big man in Shengjing and get shelter. But who would pay attention to the parents and officials in a small county town among the adults in high positions? Naturally, there is no such thing, so he can only settle for the second, it just so happened that Gao Fei also needed a chance to show his loyalty, the two didn't know how to meet together, only to know that Gao Fei received the credit, and then Gao Fei did not forget to hand him the knife Fang Yeming, and he was promoted to the prefect of Qizhou in one sentence.

How things developed, except for Gao Fei and Fang Yeming, others didn't know at all, and they could only speculate according to the details.

Together with the Fang family is the Hu family, who are in business.

Hu Zetao, the head of the Hu family, is really a good hand at doing business, from the royal tea C brocade to the pawn wine shop C teahouse, all of them are involved, and there are even rumors that the Hu family secretly has a team of people who specialize in mining and selling illicit salt, however, like Fang Yeming's promotion, there is no real evidence, and it is over.

In short, the history of the two major families in Qizhou really illustrates a truth, that is, "people are not rich without windfalls, and horses are not fertile without night grass".

The two families are evenly divided in Qizhou, and they are harmonious on the face, and the official and business families are-for-tat in private and do not give in to each other. After all, although Qizhou is big, the way to make money quickly is only the casino and the spring building, and these two things are tightly grasped by the Hu family, Fang Yeming's foundation is unstable, and he naturally can't compete with the Hu family in terms of money.

But since ancient times, "the people do not fight with officials", no matter how prosperous the Hu family is, it is just a businessman, and the children in the clan have learned the methods of doing business, and they don't want to seek an official and a half-job at all.

At this time, the Nie family came.

Originally, part of the reason why the Nie family chose to settle in Qizhou was that they had dealings with the Hu family earlier, so they had a closer relationship with the Hu family after settling down, and the Nie family was also a big family in Shengjing earlier, so naturally they would not take the small Qizhou prefect in their eyes, let alone think of sending a meeting gift to the local prefect when they first arrived in Qizhou.

Originally, he thought that the Nie family was a big family, and there must be a lot of money, and Fang Yeming, who could make friends with him, suddenly heard the people talking about the Hu family wanting to marry the Nie family, but the Nie family did not reply but did not refuse, and he was furious: "I originally thought that this Nie family is also a big family, but I never thought that the head of the family was a person who did not understand etiquette, so it is no wonder that someone on our side." ”

Fang Yeming released two pieces of news overnight, one was that the Hu family was selling illicit salt, and the other was that the Nie family was entangled with Qizhou businessmen with bad intentions.

The water that had just been calm was suddenly mixed up again.

Before the Nie family and the Hu family heard the news, the news had already reached Shengjing.

True and false, no one can distinguish between the true and the false, and on the day of the dark clouds in Shengjing, countless ill-intentioned families have popped up, claiming that "I hope only the Nie family is the first to look forward".

When the Nie family moved out of Shengjing, in order to show that the family had no dissent, they took back all the branches and leaves, so they didn't know anything about the changes in Shengjing, and they didn't know that a guillotine had already hung above their heads, but they were just curious why the family in Shengjing kept sending people to visit in just a few days, and they were secretive and obscure, and even came to investigate the news in the name of marrying the daughter of the Nie family, the Nie family did have several daughters to be married, and Nie Wenbo, the head of the Nie family, did not doubt that he had him, but after a long time, he finally noticed some clues, but, it's too late.

And the Hu family originally used the power of the Nie family to compete with the Fang family, and the news of the marriage was also deliberately released, but they never thought that so many families would come to propose, and even felt that the Nie family's strength was not bad, and even revealed to Nie Wenbo that he was willing to marry the daughter of the Nie family as the housewife.

You must know that the general family looks down on the concubine, the concubine wants to be the housewife either to marry a few lower classes, or to fill the house for people to continue the string, although the Hu family is a family of businessmen, but it grasps the economy of Qizhou, and it can be said that marrying a concubine as a housewife is already a big concession.

This family matter was finalized, but the suitable concubine was still young and newly lost her mother, and the marriage could only be mentioned after the expiration of the filial piety period.

Fang Yeming, who single-handedly contributed to this matter, was happy to see it come to fruition, and just waited to get the final "real evidence" so that he could arrest people and receive rewards.

In the second year of Congjia, the Nie family was happy, the head of the Nie family added two daughters, and the Nie family held a banquet.

In the seventh year of Congjia, the Nie family and the Hu family exchanged Geng posts, found a good day, and set a wedding date.

Two years later, the Nie family and the Hu family officially married, the groom was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, the true colors of a man, and the bride's red silk covered her face, but she could still see the joy and smile. Every household in Qizhou County has a share of the candy, eight sedan chairs, and laughter is noisy.

It was also on this day that Shengjing, which was not far from Qizhou, also fell into a red, red with blood, gloomy and bloody.

In the early dynasty, Gao Fei, the right prime minister, played the legacy officials of the previous dynasty to form a party for personal gain, and secretly colluded with the Nie family in Qizhou, intending to rebel, and a "trumped-up" charge pressed on the officials who were at odds with Gao Fei on weekdays, and the matter of their visit to the Nie family a few years ago was also used as evidence of their intention to rebel, and the charges and twists and turns accumulated for several years poured down on the officials who knelt down on top of the court.

Mo Chenfeng was still immersed in the irritability of Mu Aiqing's departure and the prince's weakness and serious illness, and this incident became a channel for him to vent his emotions.

On the day of the big day, the red silk was not as bright as the blood sprayed, the Hu family was wiped out overnight, Nie Wenbo desperately fled to this barren mountain with the few remaining family members, named "Hidden Mountain", hiding to survive.

Mo Yu was still young and suffering from a vicious illness at the time, so he couldn't remember this, so he could only look at Sheng Rui.

"How do you know that?" Sheng Rui stared at Le Ran, not letting go of the slightest expression on her face.

"My surname is 'Nie', my name is 'Nie Leran', and the one who desperately fled to this hidden mountain is my father, Nie Wenbo." Most of the tea in Le Ran's hand was spilled, and the crimson sleeves were wet down his wrists, and the water stains were particularly obvious, as if they were soaked red with blood, "The same is true of the wound on my cousin's face." ”

"I think that if it weren't for my frailty, my father sent me to my grandmother to recuperate when I was five years old, I'm afraid that today's happiness would have become a piece of loess and dissipated into the world."

The girl's voice was faint, only a thick sadness that could not be dissolved, and there was not much resentment. She is still a woman with a gentle smile, even if the master of the world has ruined her family, she has never lost herself out of resentment after all.

That's why that grief is all the more sad.
