In the twenty-third year of Zhou Sheng'an, the autumn in Jinjing City was exceptionally cold, and it had been rainy for a week.

The bleak autumn wind swept up the uncleaned fallen leaves on the ground, and the Jizo Hall of Panlong Temple in the northern suburbs of Jinjing City stood simple and solemn in the east of the entire temple.

At this time, there was only one petite girl of twelve or thirteen years old in the temple. I saw her hands folded, her head tilted slightly, her eyes were red, her eyelashes trembled and she looked straight at the solemn Jizo King Bodhisattva, and the tears gushing out of her eyes slipped silently down the corners of her eyes. The girl slowly closed her eyes and kowtowed respectfully.

Out of the Jizo Temple, the girl walked along the corridor to the end, turned a corner, and came to the mourning hall on the west side. Inside is the tablet of the girl's grandfather Liu Siqing.

Kowtowing firmly to the tablet, the girl raised her face slightly, her eyes were full of firmness, and said, "Grandfather, I will definitely help the eldest brother and fulfill the responsibility of 'grandfather'." Although the second brother and eldest sister are concubines, we will do our best to protect our families. You can rest assured, go with peace of mind, may you ascend to Bliss as soon as possible, and stay away from worries. The girl whispered as she looked at the tablet in silence.

Two years ago, the younger brother of the current emperor, Prince Xiao, rebelled against the army, and the whole country was shocked. The emperor took thunderous measures to suppress the rebels step by step. The father of Concubine Xi, the general of Zhenguo, straddled the horse with a sword, and stabbed Prince Xiao and his son, and the year-long rebellion finally stopped. However, the turmoil between the DPRK and China has not yet subsided. The girl's grandfather, who was a scholar of the palace who worshiped the second rank of the official, was also pulled off the horse.

I don't know what the purpose was back then, Prince Xiao, who fled from the country, wanted to flee to Kadacheng? Located in the northwestern borderland, Kada City is a vast and barren land, and most of the locals exchange the skins of livestock for daily food and other materials. The girl's great-grandfather, Liu Siming, served as the governor of Sanzhou in this place.

The eldest grandfather was falsely accused and hanged himself. Therefore, the girl's family was implicated, and her grandfather was also ordered by the emperor to remove him from his position and confine himself in the house. It's just that for some reason, the emperor did not implicate the girl's father and the Liu clan, and the girl's father, Liu Wentao, still serves as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy.

The girl's name is Liu Yunyun, Rue, Vanilla, Qilixiang, and Ling Vanilla. Lao Tzu said: The husband is also a cloud, this thing is full of mountains and wilderness, and the flowers are fragrant. This name was chosen by her grandfather, hoping that she would be tenacious and elegant.

When Liu Yunyun first arrived in this world, this body was only more than two years old, and at that time, his father had just ordered a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy, from the fifth grade, although he was not in a high position, but his father's qualifications were mediocre, and this position was really suitable.

Mother Fang Ci is the second daughter of Lord Qing Fang of Honglu Temple, and she grew up with the education of traditional typical ancient women, so her mother was in charge after a year of marriage, and she wisely accepted a concubine and a concubine for her father. They are the niece of the maternal grandmother's mother, the concubine of the criminal department, Sun Shubi; Mother's dowry girl, Fang Yan'er.

Less than a month after taking a concubine, her mother became pregnant with her eldest brother Liu Zhenting. He is also the eldest grandson of Liufu.

A few years later, Sun and Aunt Yan also added their son-in-law Liu Zhenhan and sister-in-law Liu Tingting to their father. The time when Aunt Yan was pregnant with Liu Tingting was only two months different from the time when her mother was pregnant with Liu Yunyun, so Liu Tingting was only one and a half months older than Liu Yunyun. Later, her mother and Aunt Yan added Liu Zhenwei a sister-in-law and Liu Rongrong a concubine to Liufu.

Liufu has always been Liu Yunyun's grandfather Liu Siqing in power, since he was imprisoned in the palace by the emperor, he was depressed and worried, causing his body to become increasingly sick and weak. And because of his grandfather's relationship, although his father was not demoted, it is conceivable that life is not easy.

Liu Yunyun grew up with her grandfather since she was a child, so for Liu Yun, a stranger, in fact, in Liufu, the one who had the greatest influence on her was her grandfather Liu Siqing.

My grandfather's health was not very good, and as soon as this unjust case came out, it was even worse, and he was bedridden not long after. Before Liu Siqing died, the most reassuring thing was the people of the Liu family. is even more afraid of the people buried in the dark corners watching the Liu family. If you want to talk about unjust cases, there will be no beginning and no end. Until Liu Siqing died, he did not find any evidence that the Liu family was framed by those thieves who harbored evil intentions.

Liu Yunyun watched her grandfather who loved her the most regret and left, and she was really sad in her heart.

It's been ten years since she came to this world, and she still can't figure out how she got through this overhead dynasty that she doesn't know if it's still on the earth? I only vaguely remember that on the seaside highway at sunset, I drove the car alone, had a car accident, and hit my head on the windshield in front of the car.

After Liu Yunyun burned the paper money, she silently recited the Sutra of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo seven times, praying that her grandfather could let go of his troubles and die in peace. Then quietly walked to the back mountain. Today is my grandfather's birthday when he was alive, Liu Yunyun missed her grandfather, and slipped out of Liufu alone to offer incense to the temple where the tablet incense was offered.

On the hill behind Panlong Temple in the northern suburbs of Jinjing City, Liu Yunyun was dressed in plain clothes and sat quietly under a big poplar tree. At this time, Liu Yunyun was extremely confused, she slowly moved the stiff back that sat down, and sighed softly.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, the peasants are working diligently, and the poplar trees on the mountain are quiet, but only the sighs of the girls can be heard.

My grandfather is gone, and there is no one in the family who can take charge of it alone.

Liu Yunyun looked at the scenery in front of her, remembered a poem from that life, and unconsciously read it softly: "A remnant sun spreads in the water, half the river is sorrowful and half the river is red." Pity the third night of the first month of September, the dew is like a real pearl and the moon is like a bow. ”

After reading it, he laughed softly. This is one of my favorite poems in junior high school, a very beautiful twilight river chant. It's a pity that there is no river in Jinjing, only a river...

Life is like this, many things will not be transferred because of their own wishes, small arms can't twist the thighs, or let yourself work hard to adapt, try to live well. Self-pity and self-pity are useless and meaningless. Thinking about that life, I still felt that I was so young when I was in junior high school, but in this life, I am now the age when I just graduated from elementary school. It's really getting back as you live, and maybe many people still envy yourself for living younger and younger.

After finishing the psychological construction, Liu Yunyun stood up with her smiling left hand, shook her numb legs and feet, patted her hands and the fallen leaves on her body, and gently put the hairpin given to her by her grandfather in the purse on her waist.

The Liu family now has very important evidence of those thieves. Liu Yunyun secretly cheered herself up. I can't feel like I'm losing before I resist.

I have to cheer up as soon as possible and find a way to help my family, although my body is only "thirteen years old", but I am also a college graduate inside, plus two years of internship and a year of part-time work. In this era, it was a well-known older young woman.

got off the carriage, waved her hand to Liu Dalang, who was helping her drive the car, and watched him drive away, Liu Yunyun turned around and walked to the back corner door of Liufu's usual shopping and exit.

After greeting Uncle Zhang, who was guarding the door, Liu Yunyun quietly slipped in from the corner door of the backyard of Liufu, and saw the dim candlelight in the Zhengde Courtyard in the middle of the backyard, which was the residence of Liu Siqing, the head of the Liu family who had just died. Liu Yunyun walked quickly into her grandfather's study.

In the past, because Liu Yunyun was a girl, Liu Wentao and Fang Ci didn't pay special attention to her, but grandfather Liu Siqing liked this beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter very much, and he often brought it to his side to teach him personally, so it was normal for Liu Yunyun to enter his study.

In my grandfather's study, there was a secret compartment where some materials kept by my great-grandfather and grandfather, including some secrets of the emperor's seizure of the throne. Liu Yunyun didn't deliberately look at these things before because her grandfather was still there, but now it's different from the past, the Liu family was first implicated by Prince Xiao for no reason, and now he has arranged for the eldest brother to withdraw from Sequoia Academy, and proposed to let him worship Mr. Wen's disciples, what is the purpose of the people behind this? Is it one person or a group of people? You can't think about it too much, you have to think about it too much. Liu Yunyun decided to look for clues slowly, and she couldn't be beaten blindfolded like this again.

Xuande Temple

Liu Wentao was sitting at the desk and reading the strategy to his sixteen-year-old eldest son Liu Zhenting, Fang Ci was standing on the side, frowning slightly, looking at Liu Wentao and whispering: "Husband, the matter of Brother Ting'er changing Mr., isn't it..." Earlier, he said that he would show him Ting'er's strategy, and he didn't refuse it, so don't worry too much. ”

Fang Ci let out a low "um", but his frowning brow did not loosen.

Liu Zhenting stood beside Liu Wentao, looked at his father, and then at his mother, and sensibly comforted: "Mother, you don't have to worry too much, next time I go to see Mr. Wen, I will go together, if it doesn't work once, twice, Yun Mei also said that this Mr. Wen's literary style is very noble and noble, and he will not reject us because of the world." ”

Fang Ci didn't hear his son mention Liu Yunyun clearly, he only felt that his eldest son was sensible and smart, and he was very pleased, and kept smiling and nodding his head, "Our Tingge'er has really grown up" Liu Wentao noticed it, Ting'er said, "Yun'er said", when did Yun'er understand so much? Although his father is low-key, he has great wisdom, he really lacks too much, the family has changed so much, his father is still in good order, and even his own death is clearly estimated, Yun'er has followed her grandfather for many years, and she thinks she has learned a lot. Looking at his son with firm eyes, and then thinking about his daughter-in-law, Liu Wentao felt very gratified.
