More than half of February, the weather has just begun to warm, this filial piety Zhao family outside the side door crowded with a line of beggars, this is the Zhao family Shi Mi day, the reason for Shi Mi, that is to give birth to the young grandmother who is about to give birth to pray for blessings, to ask outsiders for two auspicious words, the rich family has always been like this. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Today, the beggars found that when they were in Shimi, they would always look involuntarily into the courtyard.

In the back house of the Zhao family, it will be busy, the maids are going back and forth, and in the back house, there are even more painful screams of women from time to time.

In the corridor, Zhao Ziyu was pacing anxiously, and from time to time in the room, the dark face would be full of burnt, and the sound of women screaming in pain kept coming from the room. The woman's screams of pain came from the paper window from time to time, and Zhao Ziyu's anxious steps under the corridor became faster with her crying out in pain, and the burnt color on her face became thicker.

Occasionally, she put her ear to the window and listened to the sounds in the room.

"No, the young grandmother's body is too weak, and the fetal position is not correct, it may be difficult to give birth, ...... In case ......"

"Grandma Liu, is there no other way? You're going to help my young grandmother......"

A middle-aged fat woman with a yellow face anxiously looked at the midwife in front of her who was trying to save her.

"Grandma Liu, you have to think of a way, if this continues, my young grandmother and children will die!"

The fat maid grabbed the midwife's arm and pleaded bitterly.

"Probably only one can be saved, and the mother is weaker ......"

The midwife frowned and said to the fat woman.

"No, it won't be like this......"

The fat maid lost her mind,

"This ...... Please also inform the young master, if you have to be prepared, maybe you can only save one, but the villain will try his best to let the young grandmother survive......"

“…… No...... No, it hurts, it hurts...... Yes...... Protect...... Protect your child...... Protect...... Kid ......"

A thin but very beautiful woman on the bed was in a cold sweat, her white fingers tightly grasping the sheets under her and twisting them vigorously, rolling and rolling in pain, but there was no trace of hesitation in her words.

"Young Grandma ......"

"Guaranteed...... Keep your child ......"

The pale Zhang Yujie still insisted, and she was in a semi-coma, and she shouted again while tossing and turning in pain.

"Capacity...... Protect...... Protect...... Be sure to ...... Keep his bloodline......"

The reason why she came to Shaanxi is to keep his bloodline, even if she is so wronged and regretful, this is the reason why she came to Shaanxi, she must protect her children and keep his children......

"Young, young master, I'm ...... I want to see him...... Purple jade, purple jade......"

Listening to the shouts in the room, Zhao Ziyu still had to take care of others' obstructions, she hurriedly rushed in, rushed to the side of the bed and looked at Zhang Yujie's pale face without the slightest blood, and hurriedly said.

"Sister! We won't give birth, we won't give birth......"

"Protect the children, protect the ...... Keep your child ......"

Zhang Yujie looked at Zhao Ziyu, although her eyes were a little sloppy, her tone was extremely firm.

"Remember, remember your words...... Protect the child, Ziyu, protect the ...... Keep your child ......"

In the afternoon, Zhao Ziyu, who came to the temple alone, waited in the temple for a long time. The spring breeze is blowing slightly, and the world has seen a little green again, and the situation in the temple is as cold as in the past, the year is not good, and the temple is not as good as before.

Kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, tears sliding down her cheeks, he couldn't help but say to himself with tears in his eyes:

"Sister, I'm sorry for you......"

Only halfway through the words, she couldn't help but close her eyes, again, she remembered the scene of seeing Zhang Yujie in Huangzhou, and the time when she fainted with abdominal pain, she found her daughter behind, took the initiative to hide it for herself, and then protected herself like a sister protecting her sister, and then when she went to Wuchang, in order to take revenge on that man, of course, it was more selfish, and brought her sister back to her hometown.

But now, my sister is gone......

"Young Master."

Chang Shun, who was on the side, looked at the young master's tearful appearance, and was still a little worried in the end, so he couldn't help but call him.

"Hmmm......"

Zhao Ziyu was stunned, and before she knew it, she burst into tears. Changshun watched from the sidelines, feeling unbelievably uncomfortable, the young master is a good person, and the young grandmother is also a good person, but this God can't tolerate good people. Although the master invited the best doctor and midwife from Xi'an, he still did not keep the young grandmother in the end.

Just when Changshun was looking uncomfortable, a girl walked over, her eyes were long and charming, her appearance was extremely elegant, and a light snow-blue cotton jacket also set off her very beautiful. When the girl looked at the people in the temple, her big eyes instantly opened up, and her eyes were full of incredible colors.

How could he be here?

“……”

Changshun was about to speak, but Li Xueqi stopped him and motioned him to retreat. Changshun hurriedly retreated.

"Ziyu!"

Li Xueqi looked at Zhao Ziyu, she also heard the news just now.

"Snow ......"

Zhao Ziyu also thought that she had regained her calm, and when she looked at Li Xueqi, the tears flowed down again. His peace was shattered in that moment, and he stood there stiff, weeping uncontrollably.

"Don't be like this, if you hurt yourself, Sister Yujie will definitely be reluctant......"

Listening to the word Yu Jie, Zhao Ziyu shook his head.

She hates me, if it weren't for me, how could she leave Wuchang, how could she be separated from him, even that child, how could she be separated from her father, and even her sister could be separated from herself.

"Xueqi, I ......"

Zhao Ziyu wanted to tell the truth, but now when she saw Li Xueqi, she couldn't say anything, just hugged her sadly. hugged her tightly, just like hugging Zhang Yujie, tears couldn't stop sliding down his face.

Li Xueqi, who was still a little resistant at first, slowly gave up, but hugged him obediently, I don't know how long later, she looked up at Zhao Ziyu, and said with affection in her eyes:

"Ziyu, there's something I must tell you today......"

Zhao Ziyu was finally able to speak.

"Xueqi, don't say it, I know ......"

Xue Qi nodded, stared at him obediently, and waited quietly for him to speak.

Looking back at her eyes that were as clear as water and dreams, Zhao Ziyu couldn't say a word for a while. What to say to her? and said that she is actually the same as her, just a daughter, if she lets others know about it at that time, can the Zhao family's family business be kept?

No, I promised her, her child is my child, and I want him to inherit the Zhao family's family business!

Feeling that Zhao Ziyu was getting tighter and tighter, Li Xueqi, who didn't wait for his words for a long time, smiled "poof" and said coquettishly.

"Tell me, I can't wait!"

"Snow ......"

Zhao Ziyu trembled her lips and hesitated, he knew that his words would stab her, but now it was himself who was the first to stab.

Li Xueqi chose to close her eyes, where she was talking to herself.

"Ziyu, I know that you and Sister Yujie are a couple in distress, if there is no Sister Yujie, I'm afraid your life would have been lost, I know...... Now that Sister Yujie has gone, what will be the days to come......"

Hearing her say this, Zhao Ziyu's heart ached, and she couldn't speak anymore, but hugged the girl in her arms tighter, owing her too much.

Li Xueqi chuckled and opened her eyes to look at him.

"You heard me say that since I saw you when I was 6 years old, my mother told me that I would marry in the future, and I recognized it, and I will marry you in the future, and I don't want to hear the rest! Even if I am a concubine or a maidservant, I am also a member of the Zhao family......"

Li Xueqi's words made Zhao Ziyu try to hold back her tears.

"But Xueqi—"

I am a woman, how can I marry her?

Just thinking that he wanted to say something, Li Xueqi hurriedly stretched out a hand, gently covered his lips, and said softly:

"I know, you have Sister Yujie in your heart, I have thought about it, even if I wait for you for three years, five years, or even ten years, I will wait. Wait for the wound in your heart to heal, marry me, and wait for you for a long time, I am willing! As long as I can stay with you for the rest of my life, it's enough......"

Listening to her words full of affection, Zhao Ziyu was just distressed and speechless, but stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

Li Xueqi hugged him back and muttered happily.

"Okay, I'm done, you can say it!"

Zhao Ziyu looked at her bright and affectionate eyes, and suddenly changed her mind and said.

"Xueqi, I'...... I'll let my dad go to your house to propose marriage after a while! ”

The oil of the oil lamp was swaying, looking at the daughter in front of him, Zhao Yipu just sighed, and now he didn't understand this daughter anymore.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Dad, I ......"

Zhao Ziyu opened her mouth but couldn't speak, seeing that her daughter had nothing to say, Zhao Yipu shook her head and sighed bitterly.

"Hey...... Ahem......"

Zhao Yipu coughed and looked at his daughter, who was only 17 years old, and he continued.

"At the beginning, when you brought Yujie back from Wuchang, I didn't ask you, whose child was in her womb, I know your plan, you are for the Zhao family, in order to keep the Zhao family's family business...... There is this child, although it is not the bloodline of the Zhao family, but, okay...... Hey, but ...... today."

"Dad, I ......"

Now Zhao Ziyu also regretted it, she regretted why she said that, why she had to delay others for a lifetime.

"Purple Jade!"

Zhao Yipu stretched out his hand to stop his daughter, stared at her and said.

"That's fine, I don't have to blame Brother Li...... Cough...... Well, there are some things that you didn't tell your dad the truth, cough, cough ......"

Only halfway through his words, Zhao Yipu let out another violent coughing sound. His body has deteriorated day by day, and he doesn't want to worry about other things anymore, just like his daughter's choice, although the child in the woman's womb can't be the bloodline of the Zhao family, but such an adopted son is better than choosing an adopted son from the side branches of the Zhao family, if you really just find an adopted son, how can you need to raise your daughter as a son for more than ten years?

In the final analysis, it's still your own fault!

"I don't care who this kid is, I know, you...... You have to be careful, okay, your father didn't want to let go back then, and gave our things to others, and when it comes to you, you don't want to let go, in! Since you have identified it, then this child of Dai Wen is the descendant of our Zhao family, the son of your Zhao Ziyun, and the grandson of my Zhao Yipu! In the future, the six-room property of the Zhao family will be the ...... of Dai Wen's child."

A violent cough interrupted Zhao Yipu's words, and Zhao Ziyu hurriedly patted his father on the back.

"Daddy, I, I'm ......"

While patting his father on the back, Zhao Ziyu was hesitating whether to tell his father everything, only to hear his father say again.

"As for the rest, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, okay, this matter, so be it! Think about it, when Xueqi passes through the door, how can you explain it to her, as for the other ......"

He doesn't have to worry about the rest! And he can't that heart anymore! Looking at Ziyu dressed in men's clothes, Zhao Yipu only felt a pain in his heart, if it wasn't for his own selfishness, how could a good daughter be like this? His heart ached, and suddenly, Zhao Yipu said again.

"Oh, by the way, there is news about the matter you inquired about last time, and there is news from Xi'an that the capital is defended and the thieves are not allowed to occupy ......"

"The capital is defended?"

was stunned for a moment, and then Zhao Ziyu's face became complicated, and in his daughter's somewhat strange performance, Zhao Yipu said again.

"However, this day will change after all, it's just a matter of time, after all, in this world, the Manchurians have been sitting for too long, and it should be our Han people's turn......"

Shaking his head, Zhao Yipu smiled bitterly.

"Whenever there is a change of dynasty, there are always people in the world who can't survive these two or three, and I don't know ......"

Looking at his daughter Zhao Yipu's eyes were full of heartache, the reason why he was willing to recognize this unknown grandson, this troubled era is also a reason, with this son, the daughter will have a dependence for the rest of her life, no matter how the world changes in the future, there will always be someone who can protect her daughter wholeheartedly.

This will make him even glad, glad that the woman died in childbirth, and died like this, but it is a hundred, and the child will be the Zhao family from then on.

"Dad, don't worry, this world has not been ten or eight years, and it is not chaotic for us in Shaanxi, if it is then, this Shaanxi is really in chaos, let's go to Sichuan, anyway, there is also our business!"

comforted her father like this, but Zhao Ziyu's face was uncertain, the Taiping army did not take the capital, which really made her breathe a sigh of relief, at least now the Qing Kingdom is still sitting in the world, that person, that person will not hit Shaanxi.

But what if he calls?

After leaving his father's room, Zhao Ziyu, who seemed to be calm, frowned, what will he do in the future? That person called, will he come to the door to retaliate? Although she had thought about this problem in the past, more often, she stubbornly felt that that person would definitely not be able to win the world, but after returning to Shaanxi, she slowly calmed down, but her heart was not so sure.

"But, I hope ......"

Although she was worried about herself, Zhao Ziyu didn't say that sentence after all, and in the end, her eyes just closed tightly, letting tears slip out of her eyes...... (To be continued.) )
