"What you wrote in your letter is true?" Jin Shu put down the letter in his hand, and couldn't believe what he saw: "Emperor...... No, did my father really treat the Shen family like this? ”

"What do you think?" Gao Chengyan leaned back in his chair, turned his head and asked her, "Do you think it's true or not?" ”

Speaking of which, she only read part of the books about the history of the Shen family that Zhu Dongxu gave her. This is not a problem of her attitude towards reading books, but because she does not understand traditional Chinese characters and ancient Chinese very well. In addition, in Hezhou, I only cared about eating, drinking and having fun in the past few days, and it was the early stage of pregnancy, so I didn't have the heart to read well at all.

Thinking of being pregnant, Jinshu couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroked his lower abdomen and said: "I've only read a little history book, I don't know much about these past events, and I don't know if it's true or false." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Dongxu got up neatly, turned around and stared at the bookshelf behind him for a moment, took out two books and gently placed them in front of the brocade book: "No." Anyway, you're idle, so let's see. ”

Jin Shu took a look at it and asked in surprise, "Why do you have this book too?" Isn't this a forbidden book by the imperial court? ”

"Hush." Gao Chengyan smiled lightly, he sat back in the chair, raised his hand and pointed to the bookshelf behind him and said, "What I write here is history, and what is written in the court is fake." ”

"Does that mean your book is different from the national version?"

"Of course." Gao Chengyan smiled: "The books written in the court are all things that can be read by people, and the books I have here are all for people to read, and the two are different." ”

"Where did you get that?" Jin Shu flipped through the book casually and looked up and asked.

"I wrote it myself. The affairs of the Shen family were investigated by me, and the old general Shen Zheng was the person I admired the most, and I couldn't bear to let him die in vain like this. Gao Chengyan said: "Of course, I also admire the Shen family brothers. ”

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Jin Shu couldn't help but smile: "You said that you admire Brother Shen, I still figured it out." I want to ask you, what do you admire about Shen Zhizhang? ”

"Alas......" Gao Chengyan cast Jinshu a disappointed and caring look for the mentally retarded: "Sister, you are the most rational and restrained person I have ever seen in my life, and I don't remember anything." How can you always be a bystander? ”

said that her father was a bastard, she was calm and analytical, and she could talk eloquently; said that the past of her in-law's family was a question and three unknowns; Since kidnapping her here, except for crying once after learning the news that Xia Aya boiled beans and they died, the rest of the people are calm and calm to see him calculating others, whether they know that they are pregnant or watch him calculate others.

"......" Jinshu was slightly embarrassed: "Ahem...... I think it's me. But when you're praising me. ”

……

Gao Chengyan smiled: "How long have you been married?" ”

"It's almost three years."

"You haven't asked him what happened in three years?"

"What's there to ask about the past? Every time we talk about this, he is vague, why am I embarrassed to continue to ask? Jin Shu took it for granted: "Besides, if he wants to tell me, he will naturally say it, so why should I ask?" ”

"Seems to be the truth." Gao Chengyan couldn't help her: "You have been like this, won't anyone say that you are unkind?" ”

"Absolutely." Jinshu bowed her head, she turned the handkerchief in her hand and said: "If you are affectionate, you will be affectionate, we have different values." I am not as loving as you, and I take the great responsibility of the world as my own responsibility. People live a lifetime, and don't they feel very tired when they are entangled in certain things? Besides, it's useless to dwell on it, what can I change? I said you stop it, don't do it, do you agree? ”

"No."

"That's it!" Jin Shu spread his hands: "Do I want to cry and make trouble, or want to run away and report to my family?" I won't be a heroine like that, I'll only become an earlier wronged ghost who died under your knife, why should I? ”

Gao Chengyan finally couldn't help laughing: "Sister, you live too transparently." So much so that I think it would be very narrow-minded to tell you some things about the past. It's so nice to talk to you, it makes me feel like there's nothing difficult in life. ”

"I convinced?" Jin Shuwan smiled, she paused for a moment and finally said what was in her heart: "But...... We're different. People like you...... It's going to be hard and hard. With too many things in your heart, how can you enjoy the beauty of life. For example, see all the mountains and rivers, do what you want to do, and experience the simplest happiness with the people you love. ”

"yes." Gao Chengyan pursed his lips bitterly: "But I can't help myself......"

"So come back, what did Shen Zhizhang go through back then?" Jin Shu saw that he was a little sad and sad, and immediately turned back to the old topic.

Gao Chengyan quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Huh! That's it, I thought you didn't want to know. He raised his hand to take back the book, slowly turned to a certain page and pushed it back, and slowly spoke: "Back then, He Jing betrayed the Shen family, let the Hu people infiltrate the Shen Mansion in the capital, and stunned Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhizhang at night. Would he be about eight years old? Later, the servant reported that after General Shen learned about it, he sent someone to rescue him once, but because the mother and son were separated, only Mrs. Shen was rescued. ”

"And then?"

"Shen Zhizhang was imprisoned by the Hu people for about a month, and he was subjected to all kinds of humiliation, such as whipping, beating, burning, and possibly even ......" Gao Chengyan paused and said: "It's just possible, because I later learned that one of the Hu people who was in charge of guarding Shen Zhizhang liked to ravage young children......

"Pedophile?" Jin Shu gasped: "Man? ”

Gao Chengyan nodded lightly: "I found very little, and what happened in that month, I'm afraid only Shen Zhizhang himself knows." Later, he was detained on the front line of the battle between the two armies as a way to threaten the old general Shen Zheng to withdraw from the army. But...... The old general Shen Zheng, who ran out of ammunition and food, did not flinch, and personally pulled his bow and shot Shen Zhizhang, so that the Shen family's army was overwhelmed with grief and morale, and won the battle against the odds. ”

"And then?" Hearing about the old things, Jin Shu only felt that his three views had been refreshed again, and he couldn't be reserved at the moment, so he immediately asked.

"General Shen died in battle, Shen Zhiyan was also seriously injured as a major general and fell unconscious, and only 8,000 of the 50,000 horses of the Shen family army remained, and his vitality was greatly damaged. He could only recuperate for a while, and three days later, Shen Jiajun withdrew his troops and returned to Beijing. Gao Chengyan sighed: "On the battlefield, floating corpses are full of blood, no one has the ability and extra energy to find Shen Zhizhang's body in a pile of Hu people's corpses, and a child of his, everyone thought he was dead, so he had to help the empty coffin back to Beijing." Unexpectedly, Shen Zhizhang did not die, crawled out of the pile of corpses, supported each other with a few surviving wounded soldiers, and caught up with the large army, which is the story that followed. ”

"This ......" Jin Shu couldn't help but think of the scars that could be seen everywhere on Shen Zhizhang's body, as well as his frail and sickly body, and he was reluctant to mention his father's expression...... A little detail was recalled, and slowly corresponded, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt sad, and unconsciously shed tears: "No wonder...... No wonder ......"

"Don't look at him as prodigal and stubborn as he is now, but his will is very firm, strong and brave, and he is very incomparable." Gao Chengyan said: "Since even you don't know about the old things, it seems that Shen Zhiyan and Old Madam Shen don't know what he has experienced." If he knew, he wouldn't be required to be motivated like this, and it would be a miracle that a person like him could live normally. ”

"You ......" Jinshu raised his hand to wipe some irrepressible tears, Gao Chengyan handed over his handkerchief, and comforted softly: "What...... And you said you cried? Don't you care about the past? ”

"Brother Shen and he should be very sad to see this letter."

Gao Chengyan nodded: "They should know the truth, even if they disdain to join forces with people like me." ”

"Tell them the truth and then? What are you going to do next? Jin Shu asked: "If you can, let the Shen family go." Don't let them go to the frontier again...... All right? ”

Hearing this, Gao Chengyan glanced at the brocade book compassionately, and shook his head gently: "I want to rebuild the Shen family's army, and the two of them should want more than me." Jinshu, some people, such as Shen Zhiyan, Shen Zhizhang...... Even me...... It is destined to be born for the battlefield, this is fate and a wish. ”

"And when are you going to write to them?" Jin Shu wiped his tears and continued to ask.

"It's up to you. When will you write the next letter, and when will I deliver it? Gao Chengyan turned his head, so guilty that he didn't dare to look directly at Jinshu: "Jinshu, I'm sorry." At the moment you are also my pawn. ”
