The thieves burned, killed and looted

Xiao Baofeng escaped death

Seeing Han Yanzhou get out of the car, Dong Zhizhou hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Ah, Lord Junwang, the 500,000 subjects of Huangzhou are looking forward to your visit." ”

Han Yanxuan also laughed, "Brother Dong, I broke the bill today." You see, there are a lot of people. ”

"It's an honor, it's an honor."

Also accompanied by the governor Liu Jianxiu, Liu Lan, the Privy Council Cheng Zhi Su Shicheng, the governor Han Yangzhou, and the young Yin Han Xianxuan of Lin'an Mansion.

The officials of Huangzhou were stunned, the first official of the imperial court arrived, and there were two people in power, so many high-ranking officials gathered in the small Huangzhou, the grand occasion was unprecedented, unheard of.

The group entered the government in a sedan chair. After a little sparseness, Dong Zhizhou asked for instructions, whether to see someone first, or to open the banquet first. In the morning, the old man was brought in.

Han Yanxuan asked, did you alarm others?

The king of the county can rest assured, Dong is well-informed, and the other officials don't know anything, and he only says that someone wants to see you.

Then let's pick up the wind first.

The dinner was very well prepared, but it ended relatively early, because there was something on the mind, the guests had no intention of drinking, went through the motions, ate something and dispersed.

The old man and his son lived in a spacious guest room, and when the three Han brothers came in, the old man had just taken a nap, heard the sound of the door opening, opened his eyes, stared at the three of Han for a while, and asked cautiously: "Are you a brother of the Han family?" ”

"Yes, he is Yangzhou, this is Xianxuan."

The old man took Han Yanxuan's hand and said excitedly, "Don't look at it, we are a family." The men of our Han family are all big people, with big ears, wide foreheads, and thick earlobes. Grandpa is, Daddy is, and so is your brother. ”

Han Yanxuan had a smile on his face, thinking: We are the descendants of the Han family, can we still be fake? It's you who want to be confirmed, since you were a child, no one has ever seen you, just with that purple gold fish bag and longevity lock? Judging from the physiognomy, the old man was dignified and delicate when he was young, although he suffered a lot and his face was full of wrinkles, but his words and demeanor showed everyone's anger, which was indeed different from the old woman in the countryside. It would be nice if an ordinary old lady in the countryside could say a complete sentence when she saw such a big official.

Then the old man's son took the old man by his hand and asked everyone to sit down and speak. This person has gray hair and looks much older than Han Yanxuan.

Apologetically, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't laugh. My name is Zhang Jingxian, how many years have my old mother missed her relatives, and I am so happy to see you. There is one more thing that can prove that the old mother is your Han family. ”

Then open a flower cloth wrapper. Inside are two volumes of "Xiangzhou Han Family Tree". Open the first volume, the title page has the words "Han Haocun, September of the eighth year of Zhenghe", and then open the back of another volume, on the original blank page, the name of the family, the date of birth.

Zhang Jingxian explained: This is my grandfather's handwriting, followed by his private seal. The fonts in these two places are exactly the same, and no one else can copy them. Looking at the name of the family again, the grandfather first married a grandmother surnamed Yang, died five years later, and then remarried Luzhou Wang, and gave birth to four daughters one after another. They are called Baoxiang, Baojin, Baoluan and Baofeng. There are some meanings here, the Luan Feng of Xiangzhou Dayjin Hall.

The three Han brothers looked through it carefully, and that's right, that's it. That's when I relaxed.

Zhang Jingxian said: Lord Junwang, we recognize this pro, not for the official, and I don't want you to do anything, the old mother is over eighty, and she wants to have a mother's family.

Han Yan hurriedly said, "We don't mean anything else, we just want to hear from you." By the way, I remembered that in the genealogy compiled by Brother Xiao Guan, the record of the fifth uncle's family is like this. He got up and walked to the old man and hugged her, "Fourth sister, now that you have figured it out, you are our sister, we are your younger brother, I am the seventh, the eighth immortal, the ninth in Yangzhou, and there are many of our old Han family." ”

The old man burst into tears, "I've been an orphan for decades, and now I've found you!" O dear! The four siblings wept together.

After calming down for a while, Han Yanxuan especially wanted to understand the fate of the fifth uncle's family in that war-torn years. For many years, the old lady rarely talked about it, even if she revealed it to others, who would like to listen to your nagging about these sinking sesame seeds and rotten grains. When she met her relatives today, she wanted to make it clear and say it thoroughly.

When my mother married my father, my mother was only nineteen years old, and my father was almost thirty years old, and he was a magistrate in the county. Two years later, I gave birth to the eldest sister, and then every year or so, I gave birth to another one, and when the third sister arrived, my mother persuaded my father to marry a concubine, but my father was unwilling. When I was two years old, my mother gave birth to a younger brother, but unfortunately he died before he was a year old, my mother was very sad, my father comforted her, my daughter is very good, I like my daughter. One day, my father said to my mother that if I would repair the family tree in the future, our family would write about our daughter. As he spoke, he wrote down the names of our sisters, the date of birth, and pressed his private seal.

In the year of the Jin Bing's invasion of the south, the eldest sister was thirteen, the second sister was eleven, and the third sister was nine years old. That day, the old people in Zhang's father and wet nurse's family celebrated their birthdays, and I wanted to go with them, but my parents had no choice but to agree.

Zhang's father's name is Zhang Rende, and the nurse's surname is Yang, and they are two people. Zhang's father has been in our house for many years, knows a few words, at first in our house chores, Dad saw that he had a good character, so he asked him to be a follower. Give him some money to buy dozens of acres of land in his hometown, build a house, and marry a daughter-in-law. When I was born, my mother was short of milk and was about to invite a wet nurse, when Zhang's father's family gave birth to a boy named Zhang Xiaoli, who was less than a month older than me, so he asked his daughter-in-law Yangshi to breastfeed me.

Zhang's father's home is fifty miles outside the city, called Zhang Wangzhuang. Because Zhang Xiaoli and I grew up on the same mother's milk, I am very close to their family. I have also been to Zhangwangzhuang before, and I have a few friends. That time, it was Zhang's father's grandmother's 80th birthday, and I went, and their family was happy. The birthday ceremony is very lively, and a Zhuangzi person eats a flowing water seat.

About the third day, we were about to return to the city, and suddenly someone told us: The Jin soldiers attacked the city, defended the city, rushed to kill and kill, and many people died, and they could not enter the city at all.

Although we miss our parents in the city, we can't help it. Later, Weicheng was broken by the Jin soldiers, and the city gate was opened, but I heard that the Jin soldiers burned and looted everywhere, and waited in Zhangwangzhuang for a few days.

When Zhang's father and my nurse took me into the city, we were all terrified: the moat was filled, the city walls had collapsed, the city gates were broken, the streets were stained with blood, and many houses had collapsed.

The yamen was in such a dilapidated state that I couldn't find anyone at all, and I was so frightened that I cried. Hurried to the home in the backyard. At first glance, it was even more miserable, the entire backyard was burned to the ground, and all that was left was ruins and rubble.

There are twenty or thirty people in the family, and none of them can be found.
