Chapter 104: Back to the roots

In the land of prosperity, there will be no shortage of rich and noble people. When it comes to the most well-known family in Yecheng, everyone will answer, it is none other than the Nanrong clan.

This clan has been in existence for a long time in the West, and has been engaged in the wine trade with various countries for generations, and is rich enough to rival the country, but the family style is humble and kind. The good reputation is not only spread in Yecheng, but also in the entire West, it is famous. In addition to the royal family, it can be regarded as the most prestigious family in the West.

Now Nan Rong Weixiao, the head of the Nanrong family, was arrogant when he was young, and he was unwilling to be a businessman who only dealt with account books every day in this life.

At that time, it coincided with the invasion of the Western Fan army in the Burning Summer, and he resolutely joined the army, bravely killed all the way to the position of the main general, and led the Western Fan army to be invincible.

Burning Xia was invincible, so he could only secretly use insidious tricks to burn the grain and grass in the rear of the Western Fan army.

When the people without food were panicked, and the hearts of the Western Fan army were about to collapse, Nan Rongwei Xiao resolutely chose to use all his family assets to support him, so that he could resolve the crisis.

The double merit of saving the country made the Nanrong family linked to the dynastic regime again, with money and power, and won the hearts of the people, and was more outstanding than the aristocratic families.

Full of fame, Nan Rong Weixiao is not greedy for power, and has never had the idea of abandoning his bad wife, and he wants to return to his hometown as soon as possible to live a down-to-earth life.

Seeing this, the king rewarded him and let him return to his hometown, gave the right to govern Yecheng to the Nanrong clan, and promised that this right would be passed on from generation to generation.

A year after returning home, Nan Rong Weixiao and his wife were in love as usual, gave birth to a son, and called for inheritance.

After another two years, she gave birth to a daughter named Min Hong'er. The couple regarded it as a treasure. The family is full of harmony and happiness.

Unexpectedly, the tree was very popular, and the good times did not last long. When Min Hong'er was not yet a full year, Nan Rongwei Xiao was jointly framed by his sinister cousin Nan Ronghuahuai and his trade rivals.

Many perjuries were presented to the king, and Rong Weixiao was guilty of disobedience, trying to split Yecheng into the West and establish himself as king.

I don't know where the charges came from, but the evidence is conclusive, Nan Rongwei Xiao can't explain it clearly, and he can't argue with it.

Although the king cherishes his talents, the bottom line is here, and he cannot tolerate anyone's attempt to carve up the territory of the West. Then he ordered the exile of the descendants of the Nanrong clan, so that the side branch who exposed the meritorious service continued to govern Yecheng.

Survival in the Exiled Land was difficult, when Min Hong'er was just an infant baby, and everyone in the Nanrong clan was deceived by traitors. Nan Rongwei Xiao was sad in his heart, and he didn't dare to trust it easily.

In desperation, Nan Rongwei Xiao had to temporarily hand over his daughter to a deputy general who had given him the grace of saving his life. With his wife and children, he embarked on a difficult road of exile.

After a few years, the king saw that Yecheng was in chaos under the governance of Nanrong Huahuai, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

sent someone to investigate carefully, and it took several years to find conclusive evidence to prove that Nan Rongwei Xiao was really wronged back then.

The king was furious, and immediately ordered the arrest of Nan Rong and the side branches, exempted Nan Rong Weixiao, restored all power, and gave him a higher title to compensate.

Knowing that the king was also deceived, Nan Rong Weixiao did not blame him, and after three years, he made all the arrangements to go with his wife to pick up his daughter home, and there was a shocking news. The beloved daughter Min Honger was abducted and her whereabouts are unknown.

I had never heard of any blame in Nanrong Mansion, but the deputy general's wife felt guilty in her heart, and she was afraid that the whole family would be blamed, so she jumped into the iron furnace alone to apologize.

After one tragedy, Mrs. Nanrong was sad, but she couldn't bear to blame when she saw that the deputy general was also a person with a child. Thinking of the girl's heart, she can only wash her face with tears every day, hoping that the person who went out to find it can bring back a little news.

But a year has passed, there has been no news, five years have passed, and it is still the same, ten years have passed, and there has been no news.

His son Nanrong Chengye grew up day by day, and by chance, he met the king's sister Princess Luozhi, fell in love, and gave birth to a daughter after marriage. This woman is in a wealthy family, and she should enjoy the blessing of the stars holding the moon, but she was born frail, and she was raised in the house as soon as she was born, and she has never seen outsiders.

Soon after, Princess Luozhi also went crazy and became insane due to a high fever.

A few years ago, the Nan Rong clan made another war exploit, Nan Rong Wei was quite old, Nan Rong Chengye resolutely picked up his father's sword, fought for his father, captured the thief, and helped the king regain the power of the Western Fan.

But in the last battle, in order to protect the king and queen, Nanrong Chengye was killed by the enemy's arrows.

Everyone in the world praises General Nanrong's family for their loyalty and courage. sighed again, in exchange for wealth and wealth, and was powerless to change the fact that his connections were thin.

Everyone couldn't help but think of the legendary lone seedling that no one had ever seen.

After thinking about it, her ancestor and grandmother were old, her father was killed in battle, her mother was crazy, and everyone in the world sighed with regret: "I'm afraid that Miao Miao will not grow big, and the Nanrong family will be glamorous for a hundred years, and it will be extinct in this generation." ”

People are not as good as the sky, Xu is all these years of good deeds and accumulated virtue finally moved the heavens, one morning, Nan Rongmin Hong'er, who had been missing for more than 30 years, actually had news.

Hearing the news from the deputy general, Mrs. Nan Rong was so excited that she almost fainted, and she prepared a carriage and rushed to the outskirts of the city, the corners of her eyes were shining all the time, and she had shed tears all these years, only today is not bitter.

The snow in the courtyard has not melted, but a large number of people have come in and trampled on the snow on the ground. Pick up a pair of scissors and carefully prune a branch of red plum that is easy to grow in the west.

The mother-in-law, who had been following Mrs. Nan Rong, was also like Yu Zhao at this moment, choosing to withdraw from the house and give the mother and daughter who reunited inside a space to get acquainted with each other. Standing silently on the side, looking at Yu Zhao secretly, she suddenly saw her distracted, the scissors were about to touch Fuhua's fingers, and hurriedly reminded: "Miss be careful, the scissors are sharp!" ”

was in a trance, and was suddenly frightened by this sound, Yu Zhao's hand shook, and a red plum that bloomed just right fell into the soil in an instant. Yu Zhao felt a little pity, squatted down, and buried it with scissors. Turning his head to the woman, he bowed slightly: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

Seeing that Yu Zhao was polite and talking to herself, the mother-in-law began to try to talk to her: "The slave maid is called De Niang, and the one who follows the lady to serve is small, if the young lady has any orders in the future, just call the slave maid." ”

Yu Zhao didn't answer, only nodded slightly, and continued to prune the flower branches, De Niang continued: "This red plum blooms so well, it is rare in our west, if Miss likes it, you can carefully cultivate some in the house in the future." ”

The implication is that Yu Zhao is going to enter Nanrong Mansion in the future, and he understands this meaning, Yu Zhao paused, and before he could answer her words, he saw the door that had been closed for a long time open.

Mrs. Nanrong's hair was gray, her eyes were red from crying, but her mood was much more stable, holding Yu Lu's hand tightly, obviously close in front of her, as if she was still afraid that she would escape, and kept instructing: "Min Hong'er, you don't want to be so impatient, Aji will go back and clean up first, you must wait obediently, your father will come back in a few days, don't worry, what you are worried about, Aji's father will arrange it for you." ”

Yu Lu's eyes were also slightly red, but he was not as excited as he expected, and nodded in agreement.

Yu Zhaoxin said the same, it is reasonable that the mother who has never met in the child's memory is difficult to warm up all of a sudden. However, the love of mothers in the world for their children is selfless, and since they knew that there was this person in their stomachs, they had regarded her as their heart, liver, and blood, like their lives, so how could they talk about it.

After a thousand instructions, Mrs. Nan Rong came over and pulled Yu Zhao again, and walked towards the door with one in one hand, although there were tears in her eyes, a happy smile couldn't help but appear. While looking at Yu Zhao, he sighed: "My granddaughter is also like me, she is more beautiful than me when she is younger, and she is overshadowed by that flower." ”

But in just one day, Yu Zhao experienced for the first time what it was like to be cared for and loved by his elders, peace of mind and warmth, these two things were exactly what Yu Zhao lacked and wanted to have in his life. I couldn't help but hold Mrs. Nanrong's hand back. "My grandmother and mother are really carved out of a mold, and I am ashamed of myself."

This grandmother called Mrs. Nanrong's heart warm, and she couldn't hold back her tears in an instant, but she smiled happily with tears in her eyes, and agreed again and again.

That title also made Yu Lu's eyes light up when he heard it, and he couldn't help but look up at Yu Zhao, seeing that her expression was as usual, and his heart was inexplicably less worried.

The three of them talked and laughed as they walked, and after a while they reached the door. Before getting into the car, Mrs. Nan Rong was still reluctant to admonish. As big as her life, as small as the cold weather, trivial and careful, she completely forgot that her daughter was a woman who had married over thirty years old and was also a mother.

As soon as he said that, it was almost dark, and Mrs. Nanrong felt that Yu Zhao's hand was a little cold, so she reacted and was reluctant to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, he lifted the curtain and said, "Min Hong'er, you have something, just let someone come to the house to inform you as soon as possible, Aji can come over at any time." ”

Yu Lu nodded and replied, "Yes, don't worry, Aji." ”

Yu Zhao vaguely saw that Mrs. Nanrong was smiling contentedly, and her kind face made this cold day not so cold.

The mother and daughter stopped together, watched her chariot and horse leave, and then turned back.
