In the twelfth year of Yuanhe, this year is destined to be extraordinary. When the first winter wind blows, it faintly reveals the gloom of winter.

This year, the family affair that Zhou Shizi had been preparing for a long time and worked hard about was still delayed.

Because, something happened in northern Xinjiang.

The cause of the incident was a very small thing, but the spark quickly spread to the area.

It turned out that the winter in northern Xinjiang came exceptionally early this year, and the cold and ice and snow also came extraordinarily fiercely.

According to a letter written by Zhou Qi, who was far away in northern Xinjiang, heavy snow suddenly arrived in northern Xinjiang, and it rained for three days and three nights, countless cattle and sheep froze to death, and people had no food and clothing.

When the officials of Northern Xinjiang sent the disaster information to the upper court, the Great Liang was on the winter solstice. Because Daliang has always been older than the winter solstice, Zhang Xiang, who is in charge of this matter, also wants to talk to his little wife about eating a warm pot, so he covered up the matter and kept it alone, just privately asked people to notify the officials of Northern Xinjiang to distribute grain relief.

But this is not an order of the imperial court, how can the officials who have stayed in the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang for so many years have a solid family background? Even if some people have a small amount of savings, they will not lose all their wealth.

Anyway, they also reported to the imperial court, so just wait.

Not to mention that hundreds of people died of cold and starvation, and the neighboring Beidi people came over to harass them because they were also affected by the disaster.

The people of northern Xinjiang were unbearable, and one of them was a teenager who was angry because his parents and relatives were starving to death. What's more, just when Xiao Yu and Zhou You's relatives were about to stop, and they were still seven days away from getting married, bad news came from northern Xinjiang: Zhou Qi, who had only risen to a thousand households, was arrested, and now his life and death are unknown.

***********

"Ayu, don't worry about it at this time. Father happened to go to Northern Xinjiang to meet the Bei Zhai people, you are about to get married, you can't take risks! ”

King Qin never expected that Zhou You would propose to go to the northern frontier to save Zhou Qi at this time. In his impression, Zhou Qi still has a little closeness to Zhou You, but because Zhou You dislikes Princess Qin, he doesn't like Zhou Qi very much and doesn't like to be close to Zhou Qi.

"Father, you know you can't leave now!"

Zhou You's long-awaited wish is about to come true, where does he want to go to the north to save Zhou Qi, the son of Rausch? For Zhou You, Zhou Qi's life and death really have nothing to do with him. However, now that the capital is unstable, it is a fact that King Qin cannot go to northern Xinjiang.

"Ayu, don't talk about it, Zhou Qi's affairs have nothing to do with you!"

How could King Qin let Zhou You take risks for Zhou Qi? To put it mildly: if you choose between Zhou You and Zhou Qi, then you must be traveling around without a doubt.

For Zhou Qi, the child, King Qin's heart is actually quite complicated.

Zhou Qi was a child he had by chance after he was drunk, and it was because of Zhou Qi that Princess Qin became more and more emboldened, and she had all kinds of ill intentions towards Zhou You.

King Qin became more and more displeased with the two children born to Princess Qin because of Princess Qin's repeated calculations. For the King of Qin, it is better to pass the throne to the son of Princess Qin than to Zhou You.

Originally, King Qin also thought that he didn't have much trouble with Zhou Qi's life and death, but when he heard that Zhou Qi was taken away by the Bei Zhai people, he was still angry in his heart.

He let out a long sigh and said that this was also very common. No matter what contradictions he has with Princess Qin, Zhou Qi is always a child and a citizen of Daliang.

The Bei Zhai people bully Da Liang so much, every bloody Da Liang person will not sit idly by!

In the face of state affairs, personal and private affairs are nothing!

King Qin took a deep breath and looked at Zhou You: "Ayou, your father is not in the capital, you must take care of Granny Ding!" ”

Zhou You was stunned, and didn't understand why King Qin mentioned Granny Ding so abruptly, but he immediately nodded and agreed: "Father, don't worry, I will take care of my mother-in-law"

"The old woman doesn't need to be taken care of! You let Ayu go! ”

The door was pushed open, and it was naturally your own people who could enter.

King Qin hurriedly stood up and looked at Granny Ding: "You also know?" ”

Granny Ding ignored him, but looked at Zhou You with pity: "Ayou, you have to go!" ”

Zhou You hurriedly stood up straight, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going!" ”

King Qin shouted to Granny Ding with a little headache: "You can't let him go, it's not that you don't know..."

"It's because I know that I want to go! He must go!"

Granny Ding looked at Zhou You, who knew nothing, and her always dignified and kind face showed a dignified and solemn expression for the first time.

"If the Great Liang is decayed, Zhou You will be sorry for the ancestors of the Great Liang royal family!"

Zhou You looked at Granny Ding in surprise, isn't he more sorry for the ancestors of the royal family than himself and Emperor Liang Hui in the palace?

"You.."

King Qin had a premonition, and he looked up at Granny Ding in surprise, and the surprise on his face couldn't be hidden.

King Qin still remembered that not long ago, he went to find Granny Ding and wanted to tell Zhou You the truth of the matter, but Granny Ding refused categorically.

So now that Granny Ding is like this, has she changed her mind?

"Mother-in-law, have you figured it out?"

Hearing King Qin's words, Zhou You became more and more confused.

These two men are obviously playing dumb riddles, and this dumb riddle has something to do with his travels!

"Yes, figured it out!"

Granny Ding's eyes that had been eroded by the years had long been cloudy, but when she looked at Zhou You at this time, they were clearly shining.

"Kid!"

Granny Ding grabbed Zhou You's hand and looked straight into Zhou You's familiar apricot eyes: "I am your imperial grandmother!" ”

Travel: "......."

Grandmother?

Xiao Yu was raised by Granny Ding!

Zhou You was a little panicked, he pushed away Granny Ding's hand, waved his hand and refused: "No, you are the rumor's mother-in-law." How did you become my grandmother? ”

Granny Ding had pity and love in her eyes: "Ayou, listen to your grandmother tell you slowly!" ”

Zhou You noticed that Granny Ding was not joking, he turned to King Qin at a loss, and his usually calm voice began to tremble at this time:

"Father, what Granny Ding said is not true, right?"

King Qin glanced at Zhou You apologetically, but still nodded firmly and said:

"Ayou, Granny Ding is really your own grandmother, your grandmother was killed by the Queen Mother and almost lost her life, and your father was also dying. Later, I rescued him, and he has been living in Zhuangzi in the suburbs. Soon after your mother gave birth to your brother and sister and died, she followed. ”

In such a short sentence, the tragic fate of the three generations of Granny Ding's grandparents and grandchildren was clearly explained.

Granny Ding choked up and didn't speak again, the wrinkles on her cheeks stacked with memories of the painful past. The past is unbearable, but I have to look back! I thought that I could bury these deep and let the two children live a carefree life, but there are some things that still have to be shouldered, and some responsibilities must be shouldered!

Granny Ding's loving eyes fell on Zhou You, but she just suffered Zhou You's child!

Travel

Zhou You was stunned!

Two drops of sweat or other liquid slowly flowed down Zhou You's cheeks, and he squatted on the ground, and many images came to his mind......
