Yan Qiluo smiled slyly and said, "Why are you waiting to go back?" Would it be nice to ask now? ”

Yan Qiluo took out his mobile phone from his bag and said slyly: "You say, if I call my father, will he tell me?" ”

Wen Muyan smiled.

It was the first time he had seen this side of Yan Qiluo.

It seems that there is still a lot to discover about his Yan Qiluo......

Yan Qiluo directly dialed Mr. Zhong's phone: "Dad, I'm in Liangshan Village now." ”

Mr. Zhong on the phone answered, and seemed to have guessed that Yan Qiluo would make this call.

Yan Qiluo put the phone on the public so that Wen Muyan could also hear the voice.

Wen Muyan held his breath and listened silently.

"Dad, does this bracelet that my mother gave me have any other meaning? I just got an explanation from the village chief, saying that Liangshan Village owes the Zhong family a promise. Yan Qiluo said softly: "I am now standing in the ancestral shrine of the Han people, and I see a portrait here......"

Mr. Zhong on the phone actually sighed.

"Kira...... This bracelet was originally meant to be given to Tianxiao, but Tianxiao has already ...... You're also my daughter now, so it's nothing to give you this bracelet. In the past few days, I know that you have been worried about the affairs of Liangshan Village, so I asked your mother to give you this bracelet. If it works, you can use it. Things are dead, people are alive. Me and your mother, this life is like this, the future of the Zhong family is not in my hands, do you know what I mean? ”

Mr. Zhong's words made Yan Qiluo stunned: "Dad......"

"What do you want to ask?" Mr. Zhong asked directly.

"Dad, I'm curious about what happened more than 300 years ago. The portrait that hangs on the wall...... Who is she? Why is she so similar to me, ah no, to Zhong Tianxiao? Yan Qiluo couldn't help but ask.

Mr. Zhong let out a long sigh on the phone.

"This is indeed the only thing I can answer to you." Mr. Zhong sighed again on the phone and said softly: "Her name is Zhong Zixiao, and she used to be a famous military general in the history of the Zhong family. You know, the Zhong family has been a scholar for generations, but there is such an anomaly, he doesn't love poetry and books, but loves to dance with knives and guns. At that time, the Zhong family was already a century-old family, and having such a daughter naturally gave the elders a headache. But the Zhong family has many children, and she is not one of them, so they acquiesce to her behavior. ”

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, wars broke out. Wu Sangui opened the door of the country to welcome the Qing court into the customs, and since then the war has been endless, and the people have no livelihood. At that time, the Zhong family was also affected and had to be transferred again and again. But even if the Zhong family was so obscure, they still couldn't escape the purge of the Qing army's minions. Finally, Zhong Zixiao stepped forward and directly organized an army to resist the purge of the Qing court's minions. ”

Zhong Zixiao used her wisdom and tactics to confront a prince of the Qing Dynasty for a long time, which greatly delayed the advance of the Qing Dynasty army and won a temporary peace for the people on this side. At that time, Zhong Zixiao had become the most admired existence by the local people. With the end of the repression in other places, it has become a difficult bone to gnaw. ”

"In the process of the battle, the prince actually fell in love with Zhong Zixiao, released the water several times, and let Zhong Zixiao go. At that time, the people who admired Zhong Zixiao were not only the prince, but also the generals under her. One day, this prince took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to sneak attack the camp and deliberately kidnapped a person pretending to be Zhong Zixiao directly. When the generals heard that Zhong Zixiao had been arrested, they went to track it as soon as their minds were hot, but they fell into the trap of the other party. At this time, everyone knew that this prince did not kidnap Zhong Zixiao at all, and the real Zhong Zixiao was deceived by this prince to leave the mountain and go somewhere else. ”

"When such a thing happened, the prince threatened the lives of these generals to coerce Zhong Zixiao to surrender and marry him as a princess. This prince's proposal caused great public outrage. The prince said that if he did not agree to this condition, he would slaughter everyone. Zhong Zixiao compromised, she threw away the weapon in her hand in public, and grabbed it with her hands tied, in exchange for the lives of a group of generals. ”

"All the resistance soldiers, seeing that their goddess was willing to be bound for their lives, were so excited that they vowed to save Zhong Zixiao. But Zhong Zixiao told everyone that this battle would end sooner or later. Because, the Qing Dynasty has leveled the thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has died. You don't have to put up unnecessary resistance anymore. In order to save everyone's lives, Zhong Zixiao guarded the face of tens of thousands of soldiers, high-fived the prince three times, swore that he would never touch a knife and gun again in this life, swore that he would never return to the Zhong family in this life, and swore that he was willing to tie his hands and feet to be an ordinary backyard woman in this life, on the condition that he spared the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers and would not be held accountable for eternity. ”

For Zhong Zixiao's sake, the Zhong family wrote a book and offered to be willing to enter the court as an official to help coordinate the contradictions between the Manchu and Han clans. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was overjoyed and agreed to this condition and released all the soldiers, but in order to ensure that they would not fight back, they lived in Liangshan County for the rest of their lives and were not allowed to go out. If anyone dares to leave Liangshan County, the soldiers will be crushed and slaughtered, regardless of men, women and children. The released soldiers were grateful for Zhong Zixiao's sacrifice for everyone, and voluntarily invited Han refugees to live in Liangshan Village with them, and only let Han people serve as village chiefs in previous dynasties, and hung Zhong Zixiao's portrait in the ancestral shrine to show respect and importance to the Zhong family. ”

On the day Zhong Zixiao got married, tens of thousands of people knelt down on the ten-mile-long street. Zhong Zixiao, dressed in red, walked out heroically, knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the Zhong family, resolutely turned around and turned on the horse, waved the long whip, and disappeared from everyone's sight. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty really did not break his promise, and after confined everyone in Liangshan Village, he did not send troops to kill a single person. I believe there is Zhong Zixiao's desperate struggle to turn around, right? ”

"Zhong Zixiao married the prince only a few years later, because of depression and unhappiness and died young, it is said that the prince on the night of Zhong Zixiao's death, wielded a sword and broke his hair, escaped into the empty door, it can be regarded as an infatuation. Some people say that Zhong Zixiao is not really gone, but reincarnated. Zhong Zixiao is most worried about the Zhong family in her life, and the Zhong family is what she can't let go of the most. In the year Zhong Tianxiao was born......" Mr. Zhong paused after saying this.

Yan Qiluo had been listening silently, and for some reason, when she looked at the portrait on the wall, a trace of grief flashed in her heart.

The pain is so obvious.

Helpless, helpless.

Tears fell without symptoms.

At that moment, Yan Qiluo was suddenly able to empathize with Zhong Zixiao's mood back then.

Zhong Zixiao, as a talented person who can write and martial arts, can only be confined in a small world, this is probably the biggest and most cruel torture for her, right?

Although the prince is sincere to Zhong Zixiao, it's a pity that he doesn't know what love is.

Captivity is not love.

Mr. Zhong continued, "At the moment of Zhong Tianxiao's birth, it is said that visions appeared in the six ancestral halls of Liangshan Village. Zhong Zixiao on the six paintings seemed to be alive, and his eyes had a kind of breathtaking magic. ”

Yan Qiluo remembered that he was almost hypnotized by the eyes on this portrait just now, so he nodded silently.

After Zhong Tianxiao grew up, she became more and more like Zhong Zixiao. The people of Liangshan Village come to Zhong's house every year to deliver things, and they probably regard Zhong Tianxiao as Zhong Zixiao. Mr. Zhong sighed when he said this, "It's a pity that Tianxiao has a short life, how can she be Zhong Zixiao?" ”

Yan Qiluo felt the gentle touch on her cheeks, and when she looked up, Wen Muyan was gently wiping away her tears.

Yan Qiluo and Wen Muyan finally knew why the people in Liangshan Village were so enthusiastic about themselves.

I see.

"Dad, where's this bracelet?" Yan Qiluo continued to ask.

When Zhong Zixiao left, the villagers spontaneously prepared this bracelet and gave it to Zhong Zixiao. They promised that no matter how many years have passed, as long as Liangshan Village is still there, as long as they see this bracelet, the promise will always be valid. Mr. Zhong continued: "This bracelet was later sent to the Zhong family, and the Zhong family has been passed down from generation to generation. In my generation, it was supposed to be passed on to Tianxiao. But Tianxiao ...... Now that the bracelet is in your hand, it can be regarded as where it should go. You are so similar to Tianxiao and Zhong Zixiao, you are the most suitable person to have this bracelet. ”

Yan Qiluo was stunned, and reached out to gently stroke the bracelet on her wrist.

I didn't expect this bracelet to be more than 300 years old.

No wonder my mother was so careful when she took it out.

The value of this bracelet does not lie in the age, but in a promise!

Yan Qiluo suddenly understood that this was a kindness released by the Zhong family to herself.

The Zhong family knew that they had difficulties, they were all scholars, and they didn't know how to deal with businessmen.

But they know how to love their children.

Although Yan Qiluo is not their biological daughter, she is still treated as her biological daughter.

No matter how important things are, they are not as important as Yan Qiluo after all.

Thinking about this clearly, Yan Qiluo's eyes were hot again, his nose was sore, and he couldn't help but choke out: "Dad, thank you!" ”

This father, Yan Qiluo called willingly.

Whether a person is good to you or not depends not on whether you can say it, but on whether you can do it.

Mr. Zhong never said that I want to be nice to you or anything like that, but in the details of some things, he took care of Yan Qiluo in every detail.

How can Yan Qiluo not be moved?

What kind of life did I live in the first twenty-three years, and the family affection that had been barren for so long suddenly made up for it all at once.

How can you not be moved?

When Mr. Zhong heard Yan Qiluo's voice, he smiled with relief: "Okay, good, it's enough for you to understand our heart!" Kira, you're a smart kid, so I won't say anything. The Zhong family will always be your backing. ”
