Fourteen years ago

Qi Chen was only Guangluqing at that time, and he was sent to Minzhou to handle the case and passed through his hometown of Jingzhou when he came back. When he and his brother Qi Xin were inspecting the people, they accidentally encountered four little boys begging on the street, it seemed that they had been hungry for a long time, and Qi Xin, who had been kind, asked them to take them back to Qi Mansion and let them cook meals for them.

Lin Ge's father Lin Yueheng took four men to eat and let them take a bath and change into a set of clean clothes, Lin Yueheng led them to the hall, at this time Qi Chen Qi Xin sat on the main seat of the hall, Qi Chen drank tea, Qi Xin saw them with kind faces on their faces, and said: "Where is your family, tell me and let them send you back." ”

They looked at each other, were silent for a while, and one by one, the people who were relatively tall in the word stood up and said, "We don't have a family"

Qi Chen and Qi Xin hesitated for a moment, the man knelt down first, and said, "Thank you, two masters, for giving us delicious food and changing new clothes, a few of us will come to repay you when we grow up, and we will leave first." ”

After saying that, the four of them turned around and were about to leave, Qi Chen, who had not spoken at this time, said: "Since you are still going out to beg now, it is better to go back to Kyoto with me, I have a son who is the same age as you, and he is the age of study." You can not give you much wealth and wealth when you study literature and martial arts with him, but you can eat and be warm, and you don't have to worry about whether you will go hungry every day. Think about it, if you are willing to go to Jingzhou with me early tomorrow morning. ”

After Qi Chen finished speaking, Qi Xin nodded with satisfaction. The four of them turned around again, knelt down and bowed again, and said, "We don't want any wealth, the four of us just want to be fed, clothed hot, and have a place to sleep peacefully." ”

Qi Xin stood up happily and said, "Yueheng will let people prepare a carriage again, and let the four of them follow the second master to Kyoto tomorrow morning." ”

The next day, Lin Ge told Qi Liansheng the night before that Shu Rusheng wanted to make some clothes for Qi Shiyuan, Qi Yuan, Qi Hui, and Qi Can. Qi Liansheng didn't care, just nodded and said I know.

At noon, Ning Lu came to Shu Rusheng's courtyard with the things he measured. Shu Rusheng asked everyone to come to the hall, Lin Ge told Qi Liansheng, and Qi Liansheng took the four of them to the hall without any doubt. Shu Rusheng sat on the main seat, the four of them walked up to her and saluted, and Qi Liansheng stepped forward to sit beside her. Shu Rusheng nodded, glanced at Ning Lu and said: "Jinzhou City is a place we have never been to, I met a skilled hand in making clothes, it is time to change your clothes, let Ning Lu measure the size for you." ”

They looked at each other and said, "Yes, thank you, Miss."

At this time, Shu Rusheng nodded to Ning Lu. Ning Lu had always been very confident in her craft, but today she was a little hesitant, she carefully held the tape measure, to measure their shoulders. They had their backs to her, they were obviously relaxed, but Ning Lu was a little scared. Qi Liansheng saw Ning Lu's caution, Shu Rusheng took his hand when he saw this, and said in his ear that Ning Lu was looking for his son, and he wanted to see if it was one of the four of them.

After a long time, Ning Lu pinched the data of the four of them in his hand and walked up to Shu Rusheng. Shu Rusheng saw the loss on her face, thinking that it was not half a centimeter difference between the left and right shoulders as she said, so she smiled and said to the four of them: "I still have something to tell my brother, you four go down first." ”

The four of them raised their fists in unison, blessings. Then seeing Qi Liansheng nodding, they turned around and walked out together.

After a long time, when they were all gone. Shu Rusheng looked at Ning Lu who was still as nervous, and said, "It's okay, I'll let them pay more attention, and you may be able to find it." ”

Ning Lu handed the piece of paper to Shu Rusheng and whispered, "Miss, yes." The first person standing on the left is similar in size to my child, but there is this coincidence, it is possible to have a similarity. ”

Shu Rusheng opened the piece of paper, and she wondered who the first person on the left was. She suddenly spoke, "It's Shiyuan, brother." ”

Qi Liansheng looked at Ning Lu and said, "Are there any other characteristics?" Shi Yuan is more special than the three of them, Shi Yuan has always been very withdrawn, although he is their elder brother, but if Ruo Ning Lu is really his mother, I want to find out. Although the four of them usually look cold, they want to find their families in their hearts, so I hope I can fully confirm before telling them. ”

Ning Lu looked up at Qi Liansheng, she had heard Shu Rusheng say that the four of them had always grown up with Qi Liansheng, so they naturally had feelings. She was a little stunned at first, and then said, "Also, there is a small red dot under the arm of the right shoulder, which is not bright red but a little purplish-red. ”

Shu Rusheng looked at Qi Liansheng, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In such a private place, probably no one will pay attention to it." Lin Ge, you are also good friends with them, this matter is up to you, be careful not to let Shiyuan know the rumors, whether it is or not, don't startle the snake. ”

After hearing this, Lin Ge nodded, looked confident, and said, "Yes, Lin Ge will take care of this." ”

Qi Liansheng stood up and said, "Okay, Lin Ge, you can do this first, if it is I, I will tell him, the eldest mother has been for many years, as long as he is willing to leave with you, I will not have an opinion." That's it, I still have something to do, so I'll do it first. Ya'er, I'll leave the rest to you. ”

Shu Rusheng nodded, waiting for him to walk out with Lin Ge. looked at Ni'er and said, "Auntie, now there is a new step of progress." Since you've been measured, don't fool them, right? ”

Ning Lu couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, yes, Ning Lu will go down and prepare." I'll leave the rest to Miss. ”

After Ning Lu finished speaking, he was about to leave, then turned around and hesitated, and only after a long time did he speak: "Ning Lu doesn't have to take him away, if it is really him, if the young master wants him to follow Ning Lu, Ning Lu can not recognize him, Ning Lu just wants to know the truth or falsehood, that's all." ”

When Shu Rusheng heard her words, she was suddenly a little sentimental, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, you have been separated for more than ten years, and you are looking for it again." I'll talk about it on my brother's side, but now I can only check if it's really your son as my brother said. ”

Ning Lu nodded, and bowed before exiting the hall.

Ni'er watched Ning Lu walk out, her steps were so heavy. I felt a little distressed in my heart, and said: "Miss, you can't convince the young master to let him accept this fact when the time comes, the eldest lady has been looking for so many years, Qi Shiyuan is really his son, it should have been the time to be happy, but now it is like this." ”

Shu Rusheng listened to Ni'er's words, and knew in his heart what Qi Liansheng was worried about, Qi Shiyuan has always been alone, and his heart is extremely fragile. There was already insecurity in his heart, if it wasn't really his mother, let him know what it would be like. She remembered that when she was only the lord of Jing'an, her uncle Qi Chen originally found him a daughter-in-law, but when he was about to get married. The fiancée actually got a cold, and later died. In those years, Qi Shiyuan's mood was even more depressed, and it took several days to ease up, and today's Qi Liansheng's actions couldn't help but remind Shu Rusheng of this matter.

"My brother was originally as close to them as brothers, but if it was fake, Shiyuan knew about it again, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Uncle won't spare me, so Ni'er, you have to persuade Ning Lu and let Ning Lu control his emotions as much as possible, and he can't see anything about the size. Shu Rusheng finished recalling and said this unhurriedly.

Ni'er seemed to hear Shu Rusheng speak not as fast as usual, but instead heard a serious look. He didn't answer Shu Rusheng like usual, but saluted and said yes like Lin Ge and them, and withdrew.

Muling Palace, Kyoto

When night fell, Wang Yijun came to the backyard flower forest with a weapon to practice, this is the peach blossom forest, the peach blossoms have long since withered, this season is the season when the osmanthus is luxuriant, so it seems more desolate here. He wields his sword here alone, and his heart looks as desolate as here.

He remembered all his dealings with Qi Anya, but now the two of them were the most familiar strangers. Now he can only use the place where he practiced and recalled the previous events, so that he can vent his anger and do something sorry for Qi Anya.

When he was practicing martial arts, he only heard someone say in this place: "Lord Wang, do you regret it?" Whether you marry her or not, you still end up alone, as Jia Ning said, it is impossible for you to marry the county lord. ”

When Wang Yijun heard this, he immediately stopped. He dropped his weapon on the ground and slammed it. He walked up to her, couldn't control his emotions, pinched her neck, but didn't use force, and said: "Do you think that if you win, you will never be able to compare with her, I said that I will not allow you to let me see everywhere in the palace, you can only slowly disappear into this world in your house." ”

Shen Jianing let him pinch it, but he was not afraid, but laughed a few times, almost crazy. said: "No, I always felt that I lost, but I didn't lose to you, I lost to Qi Anya." I've been thinking about how to take revenge on you, but then I found out that only letting Qi Anya take revenge on you is the biggest revenge on you. ”

Wang Yijun listened to her words, threw her to the ground in a fit of anger, and said angrily: "What are you talking about, what are you talking about." What do you mean by letting him take revenge on me, what do you say?"

Shen Jianing fell to the ground, and the corners of her mouth fell to the ground, and there were some blood stains on the side of her mouth. She didn't get up, she kept sitting on the ground, and said: "That's right, she already knew who killed her, and at the beginning she was the princess of Muling who had been you." I was thinking about how to let him die and be your princess, but you came to help me, and your distrust of her was that she knew the truth about her aunt's death, and became like this. Haha, or I won. It's not me who you're losing, it's your trust. ”

Wang Yijun listened to her words, was extremely angry, stepped forward and grabbed her clothes, and said, "Shen Jianing, believe it or not, I'll kill you now." ”

Shen Jianing was stunned for a moment when he spoke, and then laughed and said, "Kill, you kill." Wang Yijun, you killed me. You let me see with your own eyes how my father was beheaded, and now you kill me, kill me. ”

Wang Yijun listened to her words, immediately lost interest, put her still on the ground, and said: "No, I want you to suffer for the rest of your life, and I won't let you die comfortably as I said." ”

After Wang Yijun finished speaking, he stood up, stepped forward to pick up the knife, and left the forest in despair. Shen Jianing looked at his figure that was gradually moving away, and cried angrily: "Why, why, why don't you just kill me." ”
