My name is Zhang Liangxi, and I am the daughter of Zhang Jinyan, the political envoy of Shandong. A few months ago, our family was ordered to enter Beijing. The bustle and bustle of the capital is something I have never seen before. I thought I would have been living happily and happily here with my father, mother and brother Zhang Aoyun, they are the people I love the most, and they are also the people I always thought I could rely on for life and never separate.

But what I didn't expect was that the text prison at that time actually implicated my father, and the sentence "the material of the Ming" actually led to the murder of the Nine Clans. When I was young, I didn't understand the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, and the people's hearts were not ancient, and even the truth that accompanied the king was like a tiger. But from the moment I floated in the river hungry and cold and was rescued, I knew that there was no more Zhang Liangxi in this world.

The moment I was floating on the river, watching the dark night sky illuminated by the firelight, I realized the seriousness of the matter. I know that the admonition given to me by the big brother who brought me home was by no means alarmist. I finally got a taste of despair in the book.

I silently prayed to the heavens in my heart to bless my eldest brother and aunt for safety, but I didn't even believe in myself. I felt the cold air on the surface of the water surround me, so biting that it pierced my heart and made my nose and eyes swell. I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout, but I couldn't make a sound at all, until my throat hurt, but I could only bite my lip and dare not make a sound. I was really timid and useless, I didn't know where my father and mother were, where my brother was, and if they were all safe. I could only hide in the box and go with the flow without daring to move.

When dawn came, and the east was white, I was tired, cold, and hungry. The river water slowly seeped in and soaked my clothes and pants, and the cold stuck to my skin, which was very uncomfortable. The eyelids that were already fighting unconsciously closed together in the cold, and I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I was lying on the soft grass with the warm sun shining on me. A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a small beard came into view. Startled, I sat up abruptly and moved back. His clothes were wet and sticky to his body, and his hair was scattered and messy. The angular face was one of anxious concern.

"Little girl, how did you end up floating in the river? Where are you hurt? I don't know whether to trust the man in front of me, even though his words are full of concern. I buried my head in my knees, afraid to answer. At this time, the sun was very bright, and the top of the head and back were warm, and there was even a burning sensation. It's just that the lower half of the body wrapped in wet culottes is cold and uncomfortable.

"Don't be afraid, it's my daddy." A crisp voice rang in my ears, and I looked up to see a little girl my age. She was wearing an emerald green skirt, and her white face had a pair of particularly beautiful eyes, round as copper bells, and her long eyelashes fluttered like a fan.

"Ama and I originally came here to go on a walk, but I saw you floating in a broken frame in the river from afar, so I begged Ama to save you." She told me to look up, giggled, and told me everything I wanted to know. They're good people, I guess.

"My father once taught me that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. If there is a chance in the future, the little girl will definitely die to repay the gentleman for saving his life today. "I knelt down and bowed three times, and I was so grateful to them for saving my life.

"I don't have to make this big gift, I'm just doing it." The middle-aged man helped me up and asked, "Do you remember where your home is?" I'll send you back ......."

"I don't have a home...... "I know that I will definitely not be able to go back to the former Zhangfu, this cannot be returned." Thinking that I might never see my parents or my brother again, I couldn't help but cry. If there is still a chance to return to them, I will definitely not be naughty again, I will study women's popularity, learn poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as they ask me, I will definitely be able to do my best. I'm going to try to be what they want me to be.

I remembered that the big brother who sold vegetables told me that if I wanted to live, I couldn't tell anyone about my life. So I wiped my tears with my sleeve and lied to my life-saving benefactor: "I am from Shandong, I went to the capital with my parents to buy goods, and I didn't want to meet robbers on the outskirts of the capital, so my parents put me in a box and threw me in the river in order to protect my life." But...... But my father and mother died by the robbers......"

"Amma, this little sister is so pitiful, let's take her in." The little girl listened and shook the middle-aged man's arm and pleaded. The man sighed and said, "I didn't expect such a tragedy to happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Little girl, since you have no relatives, are you willing to live with us? Listening to the man's words, I looked up at him, and the sun was a little dazzling. He couldn't see his expression clearly in the golden halo, and I nodded slightly.

"Great, my name is Dong E Yuqin, what's your name?" The little girl took my hand and happily told me her name.

"Du Liangxi." I casually changed my last name for myself.

"In the future, you will be called Dong E Liangxi, okay?" Looking at the girl with a bright smile in front of me, I nodded happily.

So I went home with them and became Dong E Yuqin's personal maid. Later, I learned that the person who rescued me was called Dong E Eshuo, who was the minister of the court. For the life-saving grace of Yuqin and Dong E, I am very grateful and cannot be repaid, but I can only serve with all my heart. But Yuqin and the old lady were very good to me, saying that they were maids, but they never let me work hard, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation were no worse than Yuqin's. The old lady is also very tolerant and kind to the other subordinates in the house, so the subordinates also work very hard.

Yuqin and I went to the street with my wife, and when others saw me, they all thought that Yuqin and I were both daughters of my wife. Madame is a beauty like Runyu, and her temper is also very gentle, and when others say so, she only smiles and does not speak. Yuqin happily introduced me as her sister, and everyone called me Dong E Liangxi. Dong E Eshuo heard that it was just a doting joke Yuqin was not ashamed, and insisted on being my sister without asking me how old I was. Actually, I am the same age as Yuqin, we are both six years old, but I don't remember my birthday, so I am willing to call her sister. I know that the old lady and Yuqin are pitiful and sympathetic to me without relatives, so they are very good to me, I seem to have a home again, although my parents and brother are not around, but I also feel happy.

Not long after, when I listened to the maids in the house discussing the beheading of the traitor Zhang Jinyan and his head being hung at the entrance of the vegetable market, my heart was full of grief and indignation, but I didn't dare to witness the tragic situation of my relatives under my thoughts. I soon fell ill for more than a month, and my wife took care of me every day when I was on the sickbed. She was as gentle as my mother, and she took care of me. Yuqin also often came to chat with me and told me interesting jokes I heard in the theater. The pain of losing my loved ones has also been slowly alleviated by the care of my wife and Yuqin, and sometimes I wonder if this is God's compensation for me. I will live well, and I think that my parents will be happy in the spirit of heaven.

After I recovered from my illness, I learned that Master Dong E also had a young son, his name was Feiyangu, and he was four years old.
