The Niu family was originally not a big family, it was an ordinary small family, and it was only after Niu Dapeng, a business wizard, that it developed.

Therefore, there are no rules in the house.

Although Niu Xiaoye is an unmarried girl, she has Niu Dapeng's support, she can go wherever she wants, and she can do whatever she wants. Even her father didn't dare to discipline her.

Within two days, Niu Xiaoye took his entourage and maid on the road, and quietly went to the Yingchou Stream, two hundred miles west of the capital.

Eagle Sorrow Stream is two high cliffs, a long and narrow flat land split out from the middle of the two mountains, there is a small village on the flat land, there is no name, generally said that the village on the other side of the Eagle Sorrow Stream, the people nearby know where it is.

There is a small river between the two mountains, which flows under the cliff.

The water is so clear that you can see small fish swimming in the water, and the banks are covered with long reeds.

Niu Xiaoye and their cart could not enter the narrow path of Eagle Sorrow Stream, so they had to abandon the cart and change to a green mule.

Entering the village, Niu Xiaoye and his entourage were very curious.

The people here are simple and warm-hearted, but every household has bows, arrows, knives and guns, which can protect against both wild beasts on the mountain and enemies outside the mountain.

Seeing that a stranger had entered the village and was dressed well, the village chief of Eagle Sorrow rushed over and asked Niu Xiaoye and his party, "May I ask if the distinguished guests have come from afar, are you lost?" ”

Their place is too remote, and there are no good things, and there are usually strangers who inadvertently break in, and nine times out of ten they get lost.

Niu Xiaoye smiled and said, "I'm a person from Beijing, come out to play." Occasionally, I see you here. Outstanding. I admired it very much, so I came to take a look. As he spoke, he ordered someone to give him a generous gift.

Niu Xiaoye's family has silver, and Niu Dapeng also knows that when he goes out, it is not strange to have many people, and it is always right to bring more silver, so he prepared a lot of things for Niu Xiaoye.

The village chief was also very happy when he saw the generous gift. Invite Niu Xiaoye to his house for a sit.

Niu Xiaoye brought six entourages with big shoulders and round waists, and was surrounded by maids and women, and she also brought sharp weapons for self-defense, so she was not afraid, and happily went to his house with the village chief to rest, and inquired about the situation in the village by the way.

The village chief of Eagle Chou Jian has lived here for generations and is particularly familiar with the affairs of the village.

Niu Xiaoye is considered to have found the right person.

After greetings, Niu Xiaoye revealed the meaning of looking for someone.

“…… I would like to ask the village, more than ten years ago, did a family surnamed Sheng live here? The man is a man. The woman's surname is Wang, and she seems to have a little daughter? Niu Xiaoye inquired quietly.

The village pondered. "It seems that there is a family, but there is no little daughter." Only the little couple. The man's surname is Sheng, and he was born very handsome, and the big girls, little daughters-in-law, and old ladies in the village like him. The woman's surname is Wang, and she is also very beautiful, and she treats people very kindly. The women in the village were sick and they all came to see her. The two lived in a mud-walled house at the east end of the village. ”

Niu Xiaoye was overjoyed when he heard it. - Sheng Ningfang really didn't lie!

Sheng Qiye and the Wang family have indeed lived here!

"When was that?"

"Fifteen or sixteen years ago. Later, ......alas," sighed the villager, "a good little man, but misfortune arose, and one day the man went into the mountains, and never returned." The woman had been looking for him for a month...... Later, he jumped into the Little Eagle River in front of our village and walked with the man, but he didn't even find the corpse......"

The village chief's face was sad, and he knocked on the sole of his shoe with a cigarette pouch, and then pointed in the direction of the east end of the village, "That's Hu Po over there, I was very familiar with that family at the beginning, and I like the kind Wang Niangzi very much." Wang Niangzi was gone, she also cried, and built a clothing mound for Wang Niangzi and Sheng Xiaoge by the river. ”

Niu Xiaoye was stupid when he heard it.

What's going on?

Sheng Siyan has a problem, is there a problem with her mother, Wang?

Sheng Qiye won't have a problem, right?!

That Sheng family's medical skills can't be faked!

Niu Xiaoye was a little flustered, and faintly felt that he had opened a box and released the demons and monsters in the box.

Does she want to continue to investigate?

Niu Xiaoye went to the Little Eagle River and walked slowly, looking at the crystal clear water, as well as the towering peaks on both sides, and occasionally two eagles flew over the top of the cliff, soaring among the white clouds on the peak.

An old woman in her fifties walked past her with a basket on her back, took two steps, and then came back and kindly reminded her, "Big girl, the river here looks shallow, but in fact it is deep, don't slip your feet for a while, and you won't be able to find it if you slip in." ”

Niu Xiaoye smiled, thanked the old woman, and said, "I'll just take a look." The view here is so beautiful. ”

"The view?" The old woman shook her head, "What's there to see." I've been watching it for decades, and no matter how good it looks, it's annoying. ”

Niu Xiaoye watched the old woman with the basket on her back gradually walk away, and couldn't help but shout, "Old man stay!" ”

The woman stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"I want to ask you about someone, and I heard from the village chief that Hu Po lives near here?"

"Haha, you're in good luck. I'm Hu Po, what's the matter with you? "That old woman is actually the Hu Po who the village chief said is very familiar with Sheng Qi and the Wang family!

Niu Xiaoye was overjoyed, hurriedly grabbed Hu Po's arm, and said affectionately: "It turns out that you are Hu Po!" What a coincidence! I secretly felt that God helped me, so I didn't bother anymore, and followed Hu Po to her house.

"Po Hu, I heard from the village chief that you are very familiar with Brother Sheng and Mrs. Wang who used to live here?"

When Hu Po heard this, her face immediately sank, she wiped the corners of her eyes, pointed to a bulging earthen bag not far away, and said, "That's their clothed mound." As he spoke, he walked over there with Niu Xiaoye.

Coming to the front of the tomb, Niu Xiaoye looked at a small wooden sign standing in front of him, a little speechless.

It's too rough too......

There was an even smaller dirt bag next to the grave bag.

"What is here?" Niu Xiaoye casually pointed to the small earthen bag next to the mound of clothes.

"This is the child they died before they were born." Hu Po wiped away a handful of tears again.

"What?!" Niu Xiaoye heard this, and only felt that there was a thunder explosion in the clear sky, which made her breathless for a long time......

Happiness came too fast. She couldn't stand it!

"Hu ...... Hu Po. Tell me about it. What the hell is going on? Niu Xiaoye grabbed Hu Po's arm, because she was so excited, her hand was very strong, and it hurt a little to grab Hu Po.

"Yo, you relax. Who are you? Why are you asking about them? Hu Po felt that something was wrong at this time, and looked at Niu Xiaoye suspiciously, not wanting to say any more.

Niu Xiaoye was so anxious that he died. I finally got some clues, if I let it go. What a shame!

She froze, her mind racing, and she came up with a statement.

"To tell you the truth, this family is a distant relative of ours. We've been looking for them, and just after a little eyebrow, you say they're dead. Niu Xiaoye sighed, "Brother Sheng's name is Sheng Qi, right?" ”

Seeing that Niu Xiaoye knew the name of the man in the Sheng family, Hu Po immediately believed her, and nodded hurriedly: "Exactly." The two of them are sven. It's different from the people in our village. That year, the two of them came with two burdens. He said that he was a relative, but he found the wrong way and stayed here. In fact, we all know that these two people should have eloped and escaped from marriage, and they were afraid that their families would know, so they lived incognito and lived in a remote place like us. We mountain people don't care about this. A good little couple, like a good match, their family is really blind, frustrating the two poor children, and refusing to let them marry well......"

Hu Po chattered, and Niu Xiaoye was very speechless.

She didn't think that the Wang family and Sheng Qiye had eloped, she only knew that the Sheng family was still wanted at that time, and it was impossible for the Wang family and Sheng Qi to tell people their true identities, and it was impossible for them to live anywhere else, of course, they had to hide in this small mountain village that was inaccessible.

"And then?" Niu Xiaoye didn't care about how Sheng Qiye and the Wang family lived, she only cared about Sheng Siyan and the daughter of the Wang family and Sheng Qiye.

"Later? Later, Mrs. Wang became pregnant, and the young couple was even happier. Men see the heavens and mountains to collect medicines, and tinker with all kinds of pills at home. Mrs. Wang is in charge inside and out, taking care of the house properly. Hu Po had a smile on her face, and she remembered that period very deeply.

"That year, I was seriously ill, but it was Mrs. Wang and Brother Sheng who treated me sleeplessly and rescued me, and I didn't ask for a penny for the consultation. Our whole family is grateful to them. It's a pity that such a good person doesn't live long! Hu Po spat fiercely, pointed at God and scolded, "Thief God! You know that you are afraid of the soft and the hard! ”

Niu Xiaoye's heart was pounding, knowing that he was about to get to the point, he hurriedly asked again, "What happened later?" How did they die? ”

"Others don't know about this matter, but my Hu Po knows best. I still remember that day, it was almost the wax moon. Brother Sheng went up the mountain to collect medicine, but after that time, he never came back. In the past, I was stranded in the mountains for a day or two, but this time, there was no news for four or five days. Mrs. Wang was anxious, so she asked my eldest son to go up the mountain to look for it, but she didn't find anything. ”

"Didn't find it?"

"Yes. The mountains on both sides of the Eagle Sorrow Stream are very tall and big, but there are only one or two places to collect medicine, which should be easy to find, but they didn't see Brother Sheng. Later, Wang Niangzi went to find it in person. She was pregnant, and she climbed all over the mountains on both sides, and after two or three months, she finally found a blue cloth bag that Sheng Xiaoge used to wrap medicinal herbs, hanging in the bushes in the forest, and there were some beast bones around, which looked very terrifying. Po Hu wiped her tears.

"Huh? This is? Eaten by wild beasts? Niu Xiaoye came to this conclusion with trepidation.

"Of course! How could there be other results? Few people came to the mountains on both sides, and besides, Brother Sheng had no enemies, who would come to kill him? It must be a beast! Hu Po believed in the original judgment very much.

Wang Niangzi hugged the blue cloth burden and fainted suddenly. When she woke up, she ...... The baby in her belly couldn't hold back. Hu Po sighed, "On that day, I delivered her baby." It took her a day and a night to give birth to a dead child, which I buried in the little grave next to her. Po Hu pointed to the small grave bag.

Niu Xiaoye took a deep breath and hurriedly asked again, "Is that child a daughter or a son?" ”

"Daughter. It's not full-term yet. Hu Po straightened her back basket. Shaking his head, he said, "It's a shame." Wang Niangzi lost her husband first. No matter how much she loses her daughter, she is a woman's family, and she really can't bear it. After confinement, she threw herself into the river. ”

"Huh? Throw yourself into the river? How do you know she threw herself into the river? Niu Xiaoye thought about it from beginning to end, and felt that the biggest problem was that Sheng Qi and Wang were both alive and dead, and there was a chance that these two people were not dead. It was the villagers who thought they were dead.

"I went to her house to take care of her, and when I got to her door, I saw that the door was open, and there was no one in the house. The little clothes she had prepared for the child were gone, and only bits and pieces were sprinkled on the floor. I followed the bits and pieces all the way to the river, and saw only a pair of shoes neatly arranged, and the grave I had made for her child had been dug up, and the child inside was gone. Po Hu wiped her tears.

Niu Xiaoye's heart was about to jump out of his throat, "Why?!" Why did she dig up the child's grave?! ”

"Alas. Big girl, you have never been a mother. It's damn good. Even if he died, he was reluctant to throw his children away. She probably threw her child into the river with her arms and wanted to die with the child. "Po Hu understands Wang's approach very well. If it were her, if the child was gone, she wouldn't be able to live, and she would die with the child.

Niu Xiaoye's heart was overjoyed just now, and it sank to the bottom again.

"When the child is born, are you sure it is dead?" Niu Xiaoye asked again without giving up.

"Dead, of course. It's only been eight months. Do you know if you live or not? My Hu Po has always been a stable woman, and the child is indeed dead, and I buried it with my own hands. Later, when Mrs. Wang threw her child into the river, she was buried for more than a month. "Hu Po is very categorical.

That is to say, Sheng Siyan could never be the dead baby girl......

Niu Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief, some understood, and couldn't help but be overjoyed!

Since Wang's daughter died prematurely, Sheng Siyan must be a fake!

So Tu said that Sheng Siyan's identity is not as good as Sheng Ningfang!

I don't know that the soil girl who came out of the mountains dares to turn a black chicken into a phoenix!

Niu Xiaoye's heart was full of joy, and he said to Hu Po: "Hu Po, to be honest, I seem to have seen Wang Niangzi and Sheng Qiye in the capital, but I don't dare to determine whether it is their family." If it's convenient for you, come with me and see if it's them? ”

Hu Po was taken aback, and grabbed Niu Xiaoye's hand: "Are you serious? They're not dead yet? Really not dead?! As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and prayed to God: "Thank you, God! Thank God! I was not good just now, and I blame God! ”

Niu Xiaoye gave the Hu family a lot of silver, and Shun Shun took Hu Po to the Cheshui Hutong where the Niu family lived in the capital.

Niu Dapeng was very surprised when he heard that Niu Xiaoye had brought a mother-in-law, and came over to ask her who this mother-in-law was.

Niu Xiaoye thought about it for a while, and said without telling Niu Dapeng: "Big brother, I have something to do, I'll tell my eldest brother when I'm done." ”

Niu Dapeng frowned and said: "You are a big girl, you must act in a measured manner, don't go too far." ”

"Big brother, when did I not know the proportions? I befriended those girls in the high family gate of the capital, how many things I did for you, how much help I helped, and now you say that I don't know how to measure? Niu Xiaoye pouted.

In front of her eldest brother, she has always been very relaxed and has something to say.

Niu Dapeng felt right, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's good if you know it in your heart." With that, he put the matter aside for the time being and went out to run errands.

Niu Xiaoye found an opportunity and took Hu Po to wait not far in front of the Shengguo Mansion.

After waiting for two days, he finally waited for Sheng Qiye to come back from the palace.

When he got out of the car and returned to the Shengguo Mansion, he was seen by Hu Po.

"Ah, that person seems to be Sheng Qi! After more than ten years, he has not become much, but he has grown a few wisps of beard. Other than that, it's exactly the same as it was at the beginning! Hu Po was very surprised, "He's not dead!" ”

Niu Xiaoye smiled, "Don't worry, let's take a look at Mrs. Sheng again." ”

They waited for another two days, and waited until the Wang family came out with Sheng Siyan and went to the Tianxia Pharmacy to check the accounts.

Wang's belly is big again, but it is a little similar to when she was pregnant in Eagle Sorrow, which suddenly aroused Hu Po's thoughts.

She stared closely at Wang's every move, until she got into the car and lowered the curtain, Hu Po wiped her tears with emotion with a handkerchief, nodded and said: "That's Mrs. Wang, I didn't expect her to be dead, and she found Sheng Qi." The two lived happily together again. You see. She's pregnant again. It's so nice......"

Niu Xiaoye determined that Brother Sheng and Mrs. Wang, who lived in Yingchou Stream back then, were Sheng Qi and the Wang family, and he was very settled.

In order to be afraid that the Wang family would see Hu Po, Niu Xiaoye has been carefully hiding Hu Po in the car so that no one can see it.

Hu Po saw that Brother Sheng was originally a descendant of the famous Sheng Guogong of Shennong Mansion, and now the grandfather of the country was also a little afraid and timid, so he didn't dare to see them in person, so he stayed in Niu's house.

Niu Xiaoye took Hu Po home. told her not to tell others about it, and then followed her eldest brother Niu Dapeng to the Wu Guogong Mansion to congratulate the eldest girl of the Wu family on her departure from the cabinet.

Wu Chanying, the eldest girl of the Wu family, got married a few years ago, but she didn't leave the cabinet until this year.

Niu Xiaoye sat with a few girls he was familiar with, looked around, and saw that he didn't see Sheng Siyan, so he asked curiously, "Why didn't the eldest girl of the Sheng family come?" ”

"I heard that I was sick and couldn't come out." A girl said casually, "Shouldn't you be raised at home when you're sick, it's not good to come out and give it to others." ”

Niu Xiaoye smiled and saw Wu Chanjuan, the second girl of the Wu family, and Li Yinniang, the eldest girl of the Shangshu family, sitting together and whispering.

“…… What's going on with you? Li Yanniang asked quietly.

"I don't know. He went out of Beijing again. Alas......" Wu Chanjuan sighed, even more listless. She looked forward to it day and night. Looking forward to the Divine General's Mansion coming to the Wu family to propose, but there has been no news until now. Her mother told her not to be too anxious, not to rush, but she was just scared and worried about it all the time.

"Don't be discouraged. Look at that grand girl, the whole capital thought that she was going to marry Zhuangyuanlang, but Zhuangyuanlang has not proposed marriage until now......" Li Yiniang grinned.

Niu Xiaoye listened to it in his heart, and it was even more like taking a reassuring pill. - I haven't proposed my relatives yet, it's been more than two months, and it's enough to go to Jiangnan for two round-trips, so it can be seen that Wang Gongzi's family doesn't agree......

Wu Chanjuan was surprised, "Huh? I thought they were married. ”

Zhou Yanli next to her is the concubine of the Divine General's Mansion, and as soon as she comes out as a guest now, Wu Chanjuan treats her very well, pulling her in everything, and doesn't care about the well-defined circle of nobles and nobles in the capital.

Of course, her status is high enough.

When your status is high enough to a certain level, whatever you do, you will be recognized by the world.

You follow the custom and are a model to the world.

You break the rules, you are pushing the old and bringing forth the new.

Conversely, if the status is not high enough.

Then, if you follow the customs, everyone will follow the clouds. If you break the rules, you are deviant.

The customs and rules in this world are originally to watch people put on the dishes, which is full of snobbery.

Therefore, Wu Chanjuan took Zhou Yanli in and out together, and everyone praised her for her graceful atmosphere.

Zhou Yanli is familiar with Wu Chanjuan, and her speech is not so restrained. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Actually, the eldest girl of the Sheng family is good, and there are many people who want to marry her." Champion Lang doesn't mention his relatives again, be careful of being taken first. ”

Wu Chanjuan and Li Yanniang were all interested, took Zhou Yanli's hand and said, "Say it quickly!" What the hell is going on? Who else is interested? ”

Niu Xiaoye's eyes dimmed, and the injustice in his heart gradually increased. - Why? A fake! I really think I'm the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion!

Zhou Yanli smiled shyly, "Actually, I only heard the third aunt mention it once, saying that it was the fourth brother of our family, and he wanted to propose to the Shengguo Mansion!" ”

"Huh? Is it a cousin? Wu Chanjuan was surprised and delighted.

The lady of the third room of the Zhou Guogong Mansion is Wu Chanjuan's aunt Wu Yunji.

The fourth brother Zhou Yanli said is the fourth son, Zhou Huaili.

Originally, Zhou Huaixuan had been ill, and the hope of the entire Divine General's Mansion fell on Zhou Huaili.

Zhou Huaili was raised as the heir of the Divine General's Mansion since he was a child, and he once followed the Divine General Zhou Chengzong to go on an expedition.

Zhou Yanli nodded, "Exactly." ”

……

At this time, in the mansion of the god general Zhou, the god general Zhou Chengzong took the Feng family to see the old man Zhou, and also called the old lady Zhou over.

"Is there something wrong?" Old Man Zhou looked at the chess game intently, and asked without raising his head.

Zhou Chengzong said with a smile: "I called my father and mother and Qiu Xian here today to discuss something with you." ”

"Well, let's talk about it." Old Man Zhou put down the chess game, reached out and took a sip of hot tea.

"That's the case, Xuan'er's family, I have some eyebrows."

"Oh?" Old Man Zhou raised a pair of shou eyebrows high.

The kind-eyed old lady Zhou listened attentively.

Feng Shi pinched the handkerchief with some uneasiness and said softly, "...... Who? ”

"You all know it. Needless to say, that girl's background is impeccable, and her character, appearance, and etiquette are impeccable. The most rare thing is to have a heavy pupil ......," Zhou Chengzong said with a smile. He was very proud of his son. felt that only the best daughter could be worthy of him.

And the best daughter. It must be born by the best woman.

Born with double pupils?

That must be Wu Chanjuan, the second girl of Wu Guogong's Mansion.

"No way!"

"No way!"

This time, Old Man Zhou actually spoke out against it with Feng.

Zhou Chengzong looked at Old Man Zhou in surprise, then at his wife, and said puzzledly: "...... No way? Why is that? Is she not worthy of her family background, or is her character not worthy? Or did she do something to make you prejudiced against her? ”

Before she got married, she felt that her mother-in-law was prejudiced against her......

Feng Shi only felt that there was a fire in her heart, which burned her mouth dry.

Old Man Zhou's face did not change. just said: "Xuan'er is not at home, this matter will be talked about later." ”

"Xuan'er's marriage depends on the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, what do you want him to do at home?" Zhou Chengzong disagreed.

Old Man Zhou smiled, stroked his forehead, and said, "When you got married, did you follow your parents' orders and matchmakers' words?" ”

Zhou Chengzong was stunned and glanced at Feng quickly.

Feng lowered his head in some embarrassment.

Their family affairs are not the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. It's a phrase from "the man......

Zhou Chengzong didn't say a word, so he agreed. and persuaded Old Man Zhou and Old Mrs. Zhou to marry her, a woman from a broken household, to the prestigious Divine General's Mansion.

At that time, she was so happy that she thought that she would meet someone in this life.

Later, I learned that she was just picking up other people's leaks.

Others don't want it, just throw it to her, and she will come up like a dog, wagging her tail.

"Stop talking? You don't want to think about it, Second Miss Wu has a double pupil, how can her family affairs be so easy? And the Queen Mother, how could she allow her to marry into the Divine General's Mansion? Old Man Zhou sighed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay to talk to Xuan'er about family affairs, but Wu Chanjuan, there is no such possibility!" ”

What a joke!

At the beginning, Zheng Suxin fascinated his son, but he hung him and refused to marry into the Divine General's Mansion, and now he wants to marry his daughter to the Divine General's Mansion?! - Dreaming!

Zhou Chengzong lowered his head. He didn't think about this problem, so he mentioned it to his father and mother, and planned to let his father come forward and go to the Queen Mother to intercede and allow Wu Chanjuan to marry his son.

As a result, Old Man Zhou refused, and there was no room for discussion at all.

Feng Shi was very happy, but he didn't dare to raise his head, nor did he dare to show joy, he just said, "I just listened to Xuan'er." He said he would marry whomever he wanted. But the girl of the Wu family, he has never looked down on ......"

Zhou Chengzong was very unhappy when he said this, and he glared at Feng, "Who does that kid look up to?!" The eldest girl of the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion, the niece and granddaughter of the queen mother's family that the queen mother values the most, but he dislikes that people are not worthy of him, and almost makes the girl unable to live. Besides, what kind of person is the second girl Wu of the Wu State Mansion?! - He's really unworthy! ”

Zhou Chengzong's words suddenly stirred up Feng's joy, and she couldn't help but raise her head and said, "Say that my son is not worthy of another girl?" Uncle, don't forget, Xuan'er is also your son! ”
