Mama Zhao snorted coldly, "Those people's hearts are already black, they have no conscience, only sharp words." That concubine is smart, and they are afraid that the stupid son will not be able to be the son of the world, so they will kill the clever concubine first. ”

Xia sighed a few more times and shook his head.

Xia Li smiled, "Mama Zhao will have dinner at my house, and I'll make two dishes." ”

Mama Zhao smiled, "That's a good feeling." Don't laugh at my greed, listen to Quanzi say that my husband, uncle, and cousin like to eat the dishes made by Miss Xia. ”

Xia Li said a few words modestly and went to the kitchen. She said in her heart, Mama Zhao said these words should be Ye Feng's instructions. not only let Xia Shiniang understand some of the current situation of the Qiu family, but also clearly told her that Ye Feng was not afraid of offending the Qiu family. Moreover, let the Xia family know Xia Ju's life experience and misfortune like this, and they will accept and pity him even more.

Xia Li knew that the women in the capital were not good at eating spicy food, so he personally made fried tofu, garlic pork ribs, corn and winter melon meatball soup, plus a few dishes fried by Tian Qingjia, it was enough.

Xia Ju didn't come back for dinner, and the little girl said that she was left behind by Ye Laoguogong.

Only Xia Li, Xia's, and Mama Zhao had dinner.

Mama Zhao liked corn meatball soup the most, and said with a smile, "I only knew that corn can be ground into flour to make paste, nest or something, but it can also be made into soup, but it has a different taste." ”

Xia Li said with a smile, "The stew must be tender corn, it won't taste good when it's old." ”

Sending Mama Zhao away, Xia's face that had endured for a long time became cloudy and uncertain, and he sat in his room in a daze.

Xia Li knew that she should have doubts about Xia Ju's background.

When it was dark, candles were lit in the house, and lanterns were lit in front of the porch. Estimating that Xia Ju was going to come back with two dogs and one bear, Xia stood at the door of the hanging flowers as usual.

Later, the barking of two dogs and one bear came from outside the hospital, and the sound of Xia Ju saying goodbye to Zhao Niuniu.

As the footsteps entered the courtyard, Xia Ju's crisp voice sounded, "Mother, my son is back." ”

Xia Ju walked in and hugged Xia's waist.

Xia smiled softly, wiped Xia Ju's little face with a handkerchief as usual, and took his little hand into the hall. She sat on the chair, holding Xia Ju's face and studying it carefully. She hoped it was just her own heart, but the more she looked at this familiar little face, the more frightened she became.

Xia Ju thought that his mother was making love to him, and he was very happy, and said with a smile, "Does my mother see her son getting more and more handsome as he grows older?" He praised himself again, "My son is like a sister, that is, like a mother, of course he is handsome." ”

Seeing his pure and bright smile and his eyes close to admiration, even if there were two points of familiarity that he didn't like, Xia couldn't bear to blame him.

The child is innocent, not to mention that he has suffered so many sins and escaped, and the situation was once more dangerous than leaving.

Xia's eyes were misty, and he smiled forcefully, "Good boy, good boy." ”

After Xia Ju went to bed, Xia Li came to the hall, and she felt that there were some things that she should explain to Xia Shi clearly.

Xia also came to the hall with a small cloth bag in his hand.

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"I have something to tell you."

"I have something to tell my mother."

The two were stunned and tacitly entered Xia Li's bedroom.

Closing the door, the two sat on the edge of the bed, Xia Li said, "Mother first, what's the matter?" ”

Xia raised his hand and smoothed Shun Xiali's hanging black hair, looked at her in a daze for a while, and then said softly, "This matter, I originally wanted to wait for Lili to be a little older and tell you before I got married." But now, there are more and more emergencies, and today I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I think it's better to tell you earlier. Remember, for your safety, you must keep this in your heart, and no one can say it. ”

After speaking, she opened the small cloth bag in her hand, and there was a jade plaque and a chrysanthemum red golden hairpin inside.

Xia Li took the chrysanthemum hairpin first, she knew that this hairpin must have been left by the body's mother. Xia's previous words revealed that she liked chrysanthemums very much during her lifetime.

And that jade plaque is the jade plaque in her memory, which is green and transparent, and there is a word "ceremony" engraved on it.

Xia didn't notice Xia Li's expression, as if he had returned to many years ago. She said slowly, "Lili, I am not your mother-in-law, I am your mother-in-law's maid, my name is Xia Ju." On the surface, we are mother and daughter, but in fact, we are master and servant......"

"Mother," Xia Liqin called, she was not used to Xia saying this.

Xia Shi said softly again, "Your mother's daughter's name is Yang An'an, she is beautiful, intelligent, and shoots arrows well, you look like her very much in these points." The year before you were born, your grandfather's family was sent to Qiongzhou...... I'll start with your father entering the Yang family......"

Xia's gaze became blurred, and he stared blankly at the small black window, not focused. It took a long time to talk about what happened many years ago.

That year, Qiu Jili, who was just nine years old, was taken to the Yang family by Mrs. Qiu and asked Yang Fan, the Marquis of Zhenxi at that time, to help train him. Yang Fan and Qiu Jili's grandfather Lao Dong Jinhou were good friends, but unfortunately Lao Dongjin Hou was injured in a big battle and died after being paralyzed in bed for a few years. His son Qiu Ze was little taught, unlearned, unskilled, stubborn and abnormal, and married Qi Lin, who was ridiculed.

Mrs. Qiu cried that this grandson could no longer be raised, and asked Yang Fan to help teach Qiu Jili. Yang Fan not only saw it for the sake of his old friend, but also felt that Qiu Jili was still a good material, so he agreed.

Qi Lin cried and was unwilling, and she didn't know what shortcomings Mrs. Qiu had to grasp, so she had to agree in the end.

Since then, Qiu Jili has lived in Yang's mansion, going to school and practicing martial arts with Yang Fan's son, twelve-year-old Yang Zixiang, and only returning to Qiu's house for one day every ten years. Yang Fan's eldest daughter Yang Pingping and second daughter Yang Anan often go to find their father and eldest brother, and they are very familiar with Qiu Jili.

Yang Anan was seven years younger than Qiu Jili, only two years old at that time, and she liked "Brother Qiu" very much and often ran after him. The two of them are real childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses.

Qiu Jili, like his grandfather, was trained by Yang Fan to be both civil and military, and followed him to the battlefield at the age of fifteen.

Qiu Jili likes Yang Anan very much, refuses all the girls arranged for him by Qiu Ze and the Qi family, and waits for Yang Anan to grow up. When Yang Anan was fifteen years old and he was twenty-two years old, he finally hugged the beauty. Yang An'an's belly was also angry, and she became pregnant not long after getting married.

However, in August of that year, there was a "Yang family's murder of the emperor and grandson" that shocked the government and the opposition, and the first crown princess Yang Pingping committed suicide by feeding the crime, and the Yang family was also assigned to Qiongzhou in October......

Yang Anan was in pain, but for the sake of the child in his belly, he still lived strongly.

The Qi family has always disliked Yang An'an, but because Qiu Jili watched it closely, the Qi family didn't dare to go too far. Qiu Jili also promised that he would find a way to transfer and take Yang Anan to live in other places.
