Huiji County at the end of February

The spring breeze was still a little chilly, but everything had come to life, the birds were standing on the branches playing beautiful music, and the willow branches that were sprouting sprouts swayed in the wind, intertwining and hitting each other.

Under the tall willow tree, two women were playing against each other on the stone table, and on the chessboard, Kuroko had the advantage, but Shiroko was still unyielding and stubbornly resisted.

The woman in the white shirt smiled and looked at the person in the dark green shirt opposite her with her brows tightly knit, and gently pressed a sunspot, the woman suddenly sighed and said, "Mrs. Wang's chess skills are profound, and Tongyun is invincible. ”

Mrs. Wang said calmly: "Yi is a battle, you and I are both women, and we do not lose to men, so it should be a congratulatory thing." ”

"Madame's style is not inferior to celebrities, dang" The woman named Tongyun was talking, and the maid who came to the courtyard bowed down and said, "Madam, the ninth young master came to the mansion and said that he was visiting his aunt!" ”

Mrs. Wang's face was faintly sad, and she nodded and said, "Please let him in!" Mrs. Gu, you and I will go to the hall. ”

When Mrs. Gu heard this Ninth Young Master, she saw Mrs. Wang's expression, sighed and said, "Evil, the chaos of the Heavenly Dao, people's hearts are unpredictable, it's a pity to thank you."

Mrs. Wang frowned, interrupted the other party's words, and said: "Don't say it, don't mention it in front of this nephew, the king of Chu sent him to Jin'an to level the bandits, and he must have passed by Huiji." ”

Mrs. Gu nodded, and the two of them left the stone table and headed to the hall.

Xie Wang summoned the clansmen and discussed the matter of leaving Jiankang with the young children and the old and weak elders, and there were few objections, except for a few elders who were unwilling to leave, Xie Yu took more than 100 clansmen with him on the second day, and went to Nandi with the second lady and Lingyun's mother, and after arriving in Ninghai, he would let everyone board the ship and go to Taipei County, of course, this purpose was not mentioned to any clansmen.

After leaving a thousand parts in the mansion, Xie Ju and Xie Ying took them away together and came to Huiji in a mighty way.

Mother passed away, Aunt Dao Yun went home to mourn, still met a few times, but did not talk about anything, this time, Xie Yu also wanted to invite the other party to Taipei County, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is a good place to maintain health.

Xie Yu is not sure if he can talk about this arrogant aunt, in his heart, he will not think that any relatives will die because of the troubled times.

This mansion was the residence of his uncle Wang Ningzhi when he was alive, and after his death, only his aunt and grandson Liu Tao, who lost their parents in the rebellion with Sun En, lived.

Entering his aunt's mansion for the first time, Xie Yu took Ziyue into the hall under the leadership of the maid in the house, and bowed to the ground and said, "Little nephew, please see my aunt!" ”

"Slave maid meet the old lady!"

A smile appeared on Xie Daoyun's face, this kind of look, even Mrs. Gu, who had been with him for several years, rarely saw it, and couldn't help but pay attention to this ninth young master of the Xie family in his heart.

Mrs. Gu's real name is Zhang Tongyun, the daughter of the Zhang clan of the four major families, married into the Gu clan Huiji branch, and is a well-known local talented woman.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Xie Daoyun stretched out his hand to help Xie Yulang and said.

Xie Yu stood up, bowed to Mrs. Gu and said, "The little nephew has seen the aunt!" ”

It is not strange that many people have ceremonies, although they do not know the identity of the woman who sat with their aunt, and the gift of greeting must be given.

"This is Mrs. Gu, aunt and friend!" Xie Daoyun introduced.

Although Mrs. Gu is over fifty years old, she is very well maintained, there are few wrinkles on her white face, and her facial features are exquisite.

Xie Daoyun is the same age as Mrs. Gu, but she is indeed much older, she has experienced too many things, the loss of her husband and her son, she has already exhausted the old man's heart, and she can't see the warmth of the talented woman in the past.

Xie Yu stood still, looking at his aunt's gray hair and sideburns, as if he saw his mother's face vividly, his nose was sour, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Xie Daoyun saw this nephew looking at her carefully and cried, and knew that the other party remembered his mother, so he couldn't help but take Xie Yu into his arms, and stroked him on his back: "Don't cry my son, don't cry my son!" ”

He didn't shed a single tear at his mother's funeral, but at this moment, he was really like a child, and he couldn't stop sobbing, which infected everyone in the audience, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Mrs. Gu was embarrassed when she saw that she was sitting down, got up and said goodbye to Xie Daoyun, took the maid, and left the house.

Xie Daoyun's heart is as careful as a hair, and she has been observing her nephew who has not shed tears from beginning to end of her sister-in-law's funeral. She was a little strange, how did those gorgeous poems appear on this young man, especially the three-character scripture, which lifted herself to the pinnacle of life, and there was an endless stream of people who admired her, so she was bored.

Every word and every sentence is a good article that can withstand scrutiny, every sentence and every sentence is a wonderful poem that makes people taste it, and the Yongyue words that came out recently made her feel deeply.

I thought that this nephew was strong, but at this moment, he was indeed sobbing in her arms for a long time, and then he slowly stopped, took two steps back and arched his hand with red eyes: "Let my aunt laugh." ”

Xie Daoyun looked at Ziyue, who was in tears and helped him to sit down, and said loudly: "Don't be sad for my son, my sister-in-law has also suffered a lot of loneliness over the years, and this death can be regarded as a relief." ”

Xie Yu nodded and sat on the soft couch given by the maid.

"Why did you bring a maid with you when you went to the south this time?" Xie Daoyun asked a little strangely.

The reason why he didn't bring Erniang and the elders of the clan here was to directly explain where he was going this time, even if his aunt didn't go, he would definitely not reveal the secret, which he was completely sure of.

"There are no thieves in Jin'an, and the little nephew has also brought the underage children and Erniang in the clan, the elders!" Xie Yu was apprehensive in his heart and looked into his aunt's eyes.

"Your second mother also came south with you? Why don't you come" Xie Daoyun stopped his words, looked at this nephew deeply, and sighed: "Do you also want to take your aunt with you?" The so-called thief was instructed by you! ”

Xie Daoyun suddenly couldn't understand the nephew in front of him, who worked so hard to create chaos in Jin'an County, and brought so many Xie clan people with him, where could he go? Where can I go? Aren't you afraid that after the matter is revealed, it will harm the entire Xie Mansion?

Things are not so simple, since this nephew can bring Xie Yan's wife and the younger children of the clan, has he already seen that something bad is coming?

Xie Yu saw that her aunt was silent, so she knew that she was guessing, so she directly picked it out and said: "Auntie, the little nephew doesn't take the clansmen to Jin'an, nor does he go to Yan County." ”

"Where are you going?" Xie Daoyun suddenly felt a little uneasy, she seemed to see the burning hatred in the other party's eyes, could it be that this nephew wants to make it, no, no, she shook her head, and began to feel a little distracted.

"Aunt, when my nephew exterminated Sun En, I found an island in the sea east of Jin'an County, which was extremely wide and beautiful, and there were more than 200,000 people on Yongdong Island and the rebels who surrendered all on the island."

"A few days ago, more than 100,000 displaced people were collected in Linhai County, and they were all transported to the island."

Hearing these shocking and inexplicable news, Xie Daoyun was taken aback, sighed for a long time, and sighed: "How about my aunt tell you a story!" ”

When Xie Yu heard this, he knew that his aunt guessed what he was thinking, and said in a deep voice: "The little nephew listens. ”

"There is a man who strayed into a desolate place, without food and water for three days and three nights, when he climbed over the top of the mountain with the last strenuous strength, a straight road appeared in front of him, the green grass growing on the left side of the road, which is lovely, and the right side of the road, earth and rocks, Gobi, this person is going to choose the road of life and death, if I let my son choose, where will he go?" Xie Daoyun said bitterly.

"Nephew go back to the right." Xie Yu said it without hesitation, for him, this kind of contradictory story is too pediatric.

Xie Daoyun looked at Xie Yu in a daze, she didn't understand why her nephew chose the right side, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why did my son choose this path, isn't there a clear stream on the side of the green grass?" “

"Auntie, there is a saying that life is in a desperate place! Good and bad, right and wrong, are all illusions! ”

"Illusion?" Xie Daoyun didn't say the answer, she had been impressed by the talent of the nephew in front of her, and this wonderful answer made her fall into deep thought! Confused!
