Chapter 19 The Old Affair of the Zhou Family
"No, but that place, as far as I heard, is also my family's old house." Li Yan was depressed, she, the eldest lady, had a big problem nine times out of ten.
"Then you are the girl of the Li family in the capital. The house caught fire, and the Li family moved into the capital, whether it was before the fire or after the fire, I don't know, but, according to my speculation, it should be before the fire, if it was after the fire, how many people would have to be burned to death? But I can't say for sure. ”
Chen Yanfeng's speculation is extremely irresponsible, "The legend in Yuzhang City, the reason why the big camphor tree is half withered and can never return to green is because it was burned by the heavenly fire, saying that there was a monster who was robbed and ran under the camphor tree, and the heavenly thunder and heavenly fire also killed half of the camphor tree, that house, there are also legends, almost, saying that there is a big monster who turned into a human form and lived there, and then the big demon was killed by lightning, and that place was also burned into ruins by the heavenly fire, and it was said that half of the people in the city died at that time, this matter is ......"
Chen Yanfeng laughed dryly, "The legend is like this, it's no wonder that you don't find that there is no grass in that place?" ”
"Raw ......" Li Yan just wanted to refute, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she swallowed back, she went all the way in, only to see the circle of thatch......
"What are you going to do now? Go home? It looks like you'll have to go home. Chen Yanfeng asked Li Yan.
"I want to go to the capital." Li Yan looked at Chen Yanfeng, "Since that piece is my family's old mansion and the old mansion of the Li family in the capital, I want to go to the Li family in the capital to see if I can figure out what is going on." ”
Chen Yanfeng leaned at Li Yan for a while, nodded his head, and nodded again, "Okay, I also want to go to the capital, and I also want to know what's going on." ”
The three of them ate quickly, Chen Yanfeng hired a spacious cart pulled by two big mules, Li Yan and Yushu sat in the car, Chen Yanfeng sat at the door of the carriage half inside and half outside, and the two healthy mules trotted all the way to Yichun.
This car has a clean mat, because it is fast, compared to the last time, the bumps are even worse, how can there be a big car with wooden wheels that is not bumpy? However, there are also many better places than the last mule cart, such as a cover and a curtain around it to keep out the wind and rain.
Last time, I could sit in the car for a while and walk for a while, but this time, because I was in such a hurry, even Chen Yanfeng sat in the car all the way, not to mention Li Yan and Yushu.
The bumps were too bad, Li Yan learned from Chen Yanfeng, sat down with his legs down to the door of the carriage, and talked to Chen Yanfeng to distract himself.
"Didn't you say that this is Huainan Kingdom, the fief of the King of Huainan, and that this area is actually in the hands of the Pei family, who is this Yuzhang Taishou? It was the Qincha of the imperial court who came, so who is he in the way of this pond fish? ”
"I don't know." Chen Yanfeng bent one leg and looked a little sparse. "The Zhou family has no foundation, Zhou Hao can be in such a rich place as Yuzhang to do the Taishou for more than ten years, one is because of the merits of the ancestors, the other is because of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother died, and they have been dead for two or three years, the year the Queen Mother died, I asked people to send a letter to Zhou Hao, so that he could resign from his official position and return to his hometown for the elderly on the grounds of keeping filial piety to the Queen Mother. Alas. ”
Li Yan and Chen Yanfeng sighed at the same time,
Resigning from an official office is easier said than done.
"Zhou Hao's father's name is Zhou Sheng, his nickname is Gou Left, before he was in his twenties, his big name was Zhou Gou Leftover, the name Zhou Sheng was given by the Taizu of this dynasty, one is homophonic with the rest, and the other is that he has fought all his life, almost won a lifetime of battles, and often won generals."
Chen Yanfeng was in a low mood, and his voice was low, but it was much more pleasant than usual.
"Zhou Sheng is an orphan, begging grew up, but he is a natural general, brave and good at fighting, scheming, the best at attacking the city, when Taizu's army passed through Hebei, he was coerced, and followed the army, and since then he has been all the way, invincible. Later, Taizu was proclaimed emperor and no longer personally conscripted, and the imperial army was led by him, swept across the Quartet, and continued to win invincible. ”
Li Yan listened to the admiration, and his blood was a little hot.
"Zhou Sheng has fought for thirty years, and the last battle ......" Chen Yanfeng paused and was silent for a while, "It's also a great victory, but his Chinese army was surrounded, and his two sons rescued and fell in...... Alas. ”
Chen Yanfeng sighed leisurely, "When the deputy marshal Sun Ning led the army to arrive, Zhou Sheng's Chinese army, and Zhou Ying and Zhou Xiong's Huwei army, there were not even a few horses left, and Sun Ning's army annihilated the remnants of the enemy army, a great victory, and this credit was hung in Zhou Sheng's name." ”
Li Yan's back was cold when he listened, "Sun Ning? ”
"Sun Ning is the father of the Empress Dowager Sun, the well-known Corporal Lixian, he is more than ten years older than Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng is a sworn brother, Mrs. Zhou Sheng, is Sun Ning's niece, on the day the bodies of Zhou Sheng's father and son were transported back to the Zhou Mansion, Mrs. Sun hanged herself."
Li Yan held his legs with both hands, only to feel a chill around him.
Zhou Sheng and Mrs. Sun gave birth to three sons, no daughter, Zhou Sheng, a victorious general, from the birth of the eldest son, was determined to make the Zhou family the first general in the world, and the father and son were all victorious generals. As soon as his son could walk, he was tied to a horse to learn to ride a horse, and as soon as he could ride a stable horse, he was taken to the battlefield, the second Zhou Xiong was the same, and when he was the third Zhou Hao, when he went to the battlefield for the first time, the horse was shocked, and Zhou Hao's two legs were broken by the bones that he stepped on. When Zhou Sheng's wife and two sons died, Zhou Hao was only ten years old, and he was taken by the Empress Dowager Sun to raise him, and they all said that the Empress Dowager Zhou was closer to him than to the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Sun was considered to be long-lived, but she still died. ”
"Zhou Sheng's death?" Li Yan looked at Chen Yanfeng, Chen Yanfeng shook his head in disgust, "I don't know, don't ask me this, the evil of people's hearts...... Alas. ”
Chen Yanfeng turned his head to look out of the car, Li Yan stopped talking, and lowered his head to drink tea.
