In the midsummer of the sixteenth year of Yuanjia, the Chengguo Mansion of the First Duke of the Great Chu Dynasty became the hottest topic in the entire Shengjing City. From the royal family to the market, there is no one who does not discuss.

Chen Shao, the second master of the Guogong Mansion, who has been missing for eight years, actually came back alive!

A person who has been regarded as "dead" in the eyes of everyone suddenly reappears in the world, this kind of miracle, throughout the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, it has never been before.

Almost overnight, the title of "Second Master of Chengguo Mansion" spread all over the capital, to the point that women and children knew it.

Perhaps it is precisely because this incident is so bizarre that this title quickly replaced the "daughter of the chief of Xingjibo Mansion" who was full of turmoil in the city a few days ago.

In fact, just before Chen Shao returned to the Guogong Mansion, Xingjibo Mansion was the biggest topic in Shengjing City.

As the eldest daughter of the Xingjibo Mansion, the eldest girl of the Guo family, her biological mother died early, and she was sent back to her grandfather's house at the age of two, and has been living in other provinces since then, and has never set foot in the capital again.

And not long after their mother and daughter died, Guo Zhun, the biological father of the eldest girl, Guo Zhun, married the eldest princess of Yongning, and at the end of that year, the eldest princess gave birth to a daughter, who was the famous lord of Xiangshan County.

In the eyes of those who care, just the birth date of the county lord Guo Yuan is very intriguing, not to mention that there is an eldest princess here, and the eldest princess is older than the attached horse.

This kind of secret in the backyard of the nobles is the most easy to talk about, and it can often make the people in the market talk for a long time, especially news like Xingjibofu, "the daughter of the dead Yuan Match suddenly returned home", and the love and hatred involved in it are even better than what is written in the book.

It's just that this time, the limelight of Xingjibo Mansion was obviously suppressed by the Guogong Mansion, even if there are many bizarre pasts, it is not as strange as the sudden return of Second Master Chen.

What is the most important thing for a person who has been missing for eight years to regain his identity and return home?

In addition to the usual scenes of his meeting with his relatives, the most important thing is: where has he been in the past eight years? With whom? What was done?

This is a full eight years, Chen Shao was only twenty-four years old when he disappeared, just in the prime of his youth, and when he came back, he was already in his prime.

Why has he been wandering around for so long? Why did you return to your hometown? What really happened in the meantime?

For a time, Chen Shao, the second master of the Guogong Mansion, became a figure who attracted the attention of the city, attracting everyone's attention.

However, on this issue, something went wrong.

Chen Shao has amnesia.

His mind went blank about the memories of those eight years.

Because he had served as Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, the day after returning to Beijing, Shangfeng summoned him to state his whereabouts in the past eight years. However, Chen Shao said that he didn't remember the events of the past eight years at all, and even some of the events of eight years ago, his memory was intermittent and vague, and there were many inconsistencies.

The return of the court officials after eight years of disappearance, with no knowledge of their whereabouts for these eight years, and even their previous memories were affected, this matter was not trivial, and finally alarmed Emperor Yuan Jia.

His Majesty has always treated the Guogong Mansion well, but he did not suspect that there was anything wrong with Chen Shao, so he only ordered him to go to the Tai Hospital, and assigned several imperial doctors to examine him by name.

After many consultations, the imperial physicians came to the following conclusions:

Chen Shao has several relatively large scars on the back of his head, overlapping the old and the new, and it is suspected that he may have suffered more than one severe brain injury.

Now, although these external injuries are almost healed, Chen Shao is likely to still have blood clots in his brain, and these blood clots are the cause of Chen Shao's loss of a large part of his memory.

According to the many years of medical experience of the imperial doctors, such a situation is not impossible, and similar cases are recorded in the medical cases of Tai Hospital.

As soon as the results of this diagnosis appeared, it spread at a rapid pace, and in one night it spread throughout the city, and even the beggar who begged for food could name a meridian and a meridian, which shows that there are many people who know about it.

And one consequence of this is that Chen Shao's disappearance and return have become more and more bizarre, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, including many strange and chaotic words.

"Do you think this man can really forget all the things of the whole eight years?" One day at the end of April, at the annual flower banquet in Xingjibo Mansion, several noble ladies were sitting in a whisper, and one of them, a woman wearing a flower of the Shixing Palace, said the same thing.

Then she said: "In my opinion, eighty percent is what the government wants to cover up, and fool people with this, who knows if it's true or not?" ”

This remark aroused a burst of approval when the crowd was neutral, and another woman in a turmeric gown whispered: "I heard that Second Master Chen was afraid that he was taken captive to Northern Xinjiang as a slave, and he said that he didn't remember it, in order to hide such a shameful thing. ”

"I've heard about it, too." The third woman with long eyebrows immediately spoke, and when she spoke, her two eyebrows were vividly drawn and drawn as if they were two strokes of a brush, and she refused to return quietly to one place.

"What I heard is that Second Master Chen was caught mining in Xiyi, otherwise, why didn't there even be a little rumor in the past eight years, and people suddenly came back eight years later? I heard that a lot of miners have escaped from Xiyi's side recently, maybe he just ran back in the mix. ”

The chattering voice, coupled with her fluttering eyebrows and eyes, did not add much credibility to the words, but added a lot of drama.

The fourth lady glanced at her lightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and then picked up the precious ice silk silk fan in her hand, and said reservedly: "What I heard is ......"

"Shh Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the noble lady who wore the palace flower, and she said a little nervously: "Don't say it soon, the female relatives of the Guogong Mansion are here." ”

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, and only turned their heads to look at the entrance of the flower hall.

A group of women in fancy clothes are climbing up the stairs, all of them are exquisitely dressed and graceful, and they are the wife of the prince of the Guogong Mansion, Xu Shi and others.

The palace flower lady had the sharpest eyes, and at a glance she saw a clean figure in the crowd, and hurriedly poked the long-eyebrow lady beside her with her elbow, pinched her throat and whispered: "Look, look, Miss Chen San is also here." ”

"Yo, really." All the ladies widened their eyes and looked at Chen Ying, who was walking by herself, and the lady with the fan covered her mouth with a fan, and sighed quietly: "As soon as the second master Chen comes out, the marriage of this third girl is afraid that it is very rare." ”

Although she sighed, it was just that in her wide open eyes, there was only a strong curiosity and inquiry, and where was there a trace of pity?
