Chapter 53
Zhu Ping'an was excited, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the present from the distant past. Although in this body that he has, two different souls used to constantly resist and resist, but now they are tightly fused together, and they have become Zhu Ping'an, who is now refreshed.
These memories are precious, and they are still the same in the eyes of the new Zhu Ping'an. Traveling back to this era, all family and friends have been lost, and preserving these memories in ZĂ i's mind has become the most precious treasure of the two souls who have been blended together.
Distant family affection, the biological mother who has never met, these are the answers that Zhu Ping'an longs for the most in his heart. Next month is the date of my wedding. The biological father is still within the high walls of Fengyang, the distant central capital, and the biological mother has already returned to heaven. Over the years, Zhu Ping'an has dreamed of his biological mother more than once, but it is always like a veil across the veil, and he can't see it clearly. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Ping'an's desire for family and affection has become so strong.
Rubbing the jade plate on his chest, Zhu Ping'an seemed to touch the deep love and pity projected by his mother through time and space, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten for a while.
Mu Yuling in his arms also seemed to experience the sourness in Zhu Ping'an's heart, and a pair of slippery palms tightly held Zhu Ping'an's arm.
Zhu Ping'an suddenly sat up straight, a thought crossed his mind like lightning, picked up the jade plate, and carefully identified the word "Shen" on it.
What's going on? His mother's surname is Shen, and when Yao Shaoqin was dying, he repeatedly asked himself to remember that he had the blood of the Shen family on his body, and he also mentioned the names of three people in a row. Shen Qingxuan is her mother, and the name Shen Qinghe sounds like a sister of her mother, and there is also Shen Xiao.
And since he came to Shandong, under Wang Chengen's arrangement, the Shen family of Fengxiantang has been put under his command, as well as his own guard, the blind Shen Ke, who came to him when he was recruiting auxiliary battalions in Zhongdu. Without exception, these people all have the word "Shen", will they have anything to do with their mother's "Shen"?
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an seemed to have suddenly found a bright light in the dark night. Including his own enlightenment teacher, that is, his future father-in-law Mu Yanzi, who, like Yao Shaoqin, also has some unknown secrets. It's just that they all chose to bury this secret deep in their hearts.
Mu Yanzi is a great Confucian in the world, and the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian is known to the world. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he should be reused, but he willingly hid in the Tang Palace's mansion to teach Zhu Ping'an, a nameless boy, and in the past few years, even his life and death friend Lu Zhenfei could not find out his whereabouts. and Yao Shaoqin, his martial arts, and his strong military flavor all prove that he is not an ordinary internal official, and he is also hidden in the palace, teaching himself what he has learned without reservation.
For what reason did they rather cover their original light and incarnate themselves as a civilian, is it for him Zhu Ping'an?
All kinds of inconspicuous little doubts, but today it seems, they all seem to be connected together, Zhu Ping'an suddenly found that the key points that can be linked together actually point to himself.
Mu Yuling is a person that Zhu Ping'an can completely trust, and after listening to Zhu Ping'an's analysis, he couldn't hold back his excitement, frowned and thought for a moment. "You're saying it's possible for your father to know about your origins?"
Zhu Ping'an nodded affirmatively. "But I also know Mr.'s temper, as long as he doesn't want to say it, no matter what, he will bury it deep in his heart!"
Mu Yuling nodded with deep feelings, "I feel the same way, my father rarely mentions your affairs in front of me, although he really cares about you, but he doesn't know how to express it." Or maybe he pretended he couldn't say it. At first, he was strongly opposed to our marriage, and I thought that because of your status, he did not want me to commit to the children of the clan, so he fell into the internal struggle of the palace. Listening to you now, it's clear that there are other reasons. â
"My father was cautious. Just like when we went to Nanyang Palace, he didn't even tell his relatives at home. When I was younger, I always liked to go to my father's study to pick out my favorite books to read. But since I arrived in Nanyang, he never allowed me to step into his study for half a step, and would lock it up every day after leaving the study. Even when he receives a letter on weekdays, he always burns ...... after reading it! â
Speaking of this, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw strong suspicion and search in each other's eyes.
Zhu Ping'an hurriedly got up, helped Mu Yuling down from the roof, and quietly ordered Wang Jinfa, who had been guarding outside the courtyard, to find Yin Shigang and Cao Wuxian.
For Mu Yuling and Zhu Ping'an, Cao Wuxian is like the younger brother of the two. For so many years, he has always guarded the two of them, just for a steamed bun in the stable that day. Coupled with the cripplement of his body, Zhu Ping'an and Mu Yuling will pity him. Zhu Ping'an didn't want to treat Cao Wuxian as a master, let alone treat him as an internal official who served him, from the bottom of his heart, he just wanted Cao Wuxian's brother to live happily and carefree.
Take these days as an example, Zhu Yujiao came to Dengzhou. Zhu Ping'an was busy with official business, and Mu Yuling was busy preparing for the wedding, and neither of them could spare time to accompany Zhu Yujiao to travel to Dengzhou. And Zhu Yujiao also saw the sea for the first time, for a proud woman like her, this may be an untouchable experience in a lifetime. Zhu Ping'an also knew Zhu Yujiao's tragic fate in real history, so even though he knew that Zhu Yujiao had a vague feeling for Cao Wuxian in her heart, she still couldn't bear to refuse her to pull Cao Wujiao to play around Dengzhou and Penglai.
What's more, Zhu Yujiao is actually his cousin Zhu Ping'an.
Yin Shigang and Cao Wuxian came one after another, seeing Cao Wuxian's tired appearance, Mu Yuling couldn't help but feel a little distressed, poured a cup of tea, took some pastries and delivered them to him personally. "Are you accompanying the eldest princess to the beach again?"
Cao Wuxian nodded, didn't speak, his eyes were a little evasive, and swept away all the food like a whirlwind cloud.
Cao Wushu burped and found that Mu Yuling was looking at him, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Zhu Ping'an and Yin Shigang, who were not far away, were talking about things, and Mu Yuling took this opportunity to pull him out of the door.
"The eldest princess didn't bully you, did she? She is a princess, although her personality is a little impatient, but her heart is innocent and kind, without the slightest city government, if she says something that should not be said, you must not take it to heart! â
Cao Wuxian nodded again, "Sister Mu, I understand." But......! â
Although Cao Wuxian is honest and straightforward, and he looks like he rejects people thousands of miles away in front of the living, he has been in the palace for so many years, and his mind is quite transparent, and after thinking about it, he said to Mu Yuling: "The eldest princess knows my ......, ......?" â
Mu Yuling sighed and shook her head. As soon as this sentence came out, Mu Yuling knew that Cao Wuxian also vaguely felt that Zhu Yujiao's thoughts about him were unusual.
Cao Wuxian barely squeezed out a smile, "It's only my ruthless father and mother who sold me into the palace since I was a child." Now I just want to follow Sister Mu and the young master steadfastly, watching the young master become famous, in the future, if you have a child, I will also be the little young master's companion! With my status, I really don't want to get involved! You know what I mean? Sister Wood? â
One sentence almost made Mu Yuling's tears fall, and he hurriedly turned his body to the side, took the opportunity to turn his head to wipe away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and then turned around and smiled, "No injury, you have really grown up!" â
Mu Yuling patted Cao Wuxian's arm, "Don't worry, I will persuade the eldest princess to return to the capital as much as possible, she is the eldest princess of the emperor, she will definitely find a wishful Langjun in the future, she will definitely be very happy, maybe, if there is a chance in the future, she will come to Dengzhou to visit us, isn't it?" â
Cao Wuxian smiled and nodded, but his body trembled inexplicably, "The young master still has something to do with me, I'll go in first!" â
Mu Yuling looked at Cao Wuxian's back and left quickly, and sighed leisurely. can look at Zhu Ping'an, who was talking intently with Yin Shigang in the room, and suddenly his heart was filled with a strong sense of happiness.
"Maybe this is the way things are in the world, and how many people can find their true love and stay together for a lifetime? God treats me well, so why should I be demanding? â
Mu Yuling tiptoed down the steps and went to the kitchen to prepare supper for the three of them.
"How's it going to find out the details of Fengxian Hall?" Zhu Ping'an asked Yin Shigang. Although Fengxiantang was single-handedly arranged by Wang Chengen to be put into Dengzhou Zhu Ping'an's system, Zhu Ping'an still let Yin Shigang know more about Shen Mingxian and Fengxiantang early on. After all, when pacifying the four guards of Dengzhou, the strength of Fengxian Hall was really surprising. Especially after the collapse of the Fan family and the Wang family's power, Fengxiantang quickly persuaded the Chang clan in Yuci, Shanxi Province to stabilize the feelings of the Shanshan merchants, and did not cause them to become chaotic because of this. For these people, Zhu Ping'an's idea is that on the one hand, they must be used, and on the other hand, they must be firmly controlled, and the premise is that they must have a more thorough understanding of Fengxiantang.
"It's weird!" Yin Shigang put down the teacup, and a strange look appeared on his face. "Fengxiantang has not been in Shandong for a long time, probably when Chongzhen was three years old. At present, the news heard can only confirm that Fengxiantang is a side branch of the Yixing Shen family, which originally originated in Jiangnan, and then gradually declined, and was not conspicuous among the people. It is said that when it was the most prosperous year, it was in Jingshi, but it seemed that because of the party dispute in the last years of the Apocalypse, the old family master and a 'female son-in-law' who was in charge of the Shen family at that time died inexplicably overnight, which led the Shen family to fall in the middle of the road, and had to leave Jingshi, and the stars scattered in all directions. Now the person in charge of Fengxian Hall doesn't know who it is. The student boldly speculated that since this Fengxian Hall was arranged by the prince, would it be ......? â
Yin Shigang's inference made Zhu Ping'an agree very much. The Shen family was in ruins, and Wang Chengen took over, which is reasonable, but he is just a eunuch, how did he lead the Shen family scattered all over the country? And how did you develop Fengxian Hall into what it is today? Also, why did he go out of his way to support himself?
"Among the people of the Shen family, is there one named Shen Xiao? Or Shen Qinghe, are there two such people? â
Yin Shigang was stunned for a moment, "How did the adults know?" That Shen Xiao was the old head of the Shen family back then! âR1152
