Grandmother sighed, "Okay, although you are a junior, it is not appropriate to criticize the elders, but I think that Qi Xiang will have to look for you in the future, and you know that the matter between your father and Qi Xiang is not a bad thing." ”

Gan Tang was stunned, is there still something about her father?

In Gan Tang's memory, the friendship between his father and mother is far from an ordinary couple, if his father and mother want to rank their family members in order, both parties must be headed by each other in their hearts, and then Gan Tang's two early brothers and sisters are tied for second, Brother Gan and Gan Tang are tied for third, and they are at the bottom.

There's no way anyone can be plugged in.

The story of the county lord of Qixiang and Gan Tang's parents is quite dramatic when my grandmother thinks about it now.

The first emperor was a lord of Zhongxing, who could let the country's lifeline continue for a hundred years when the country showed decline, Wen Taowu was not bad, and his achievements were extraordinary, and he was also given a lot of praise and praise after his death.

But in his later years, he also experienced a dark period, lost seven out of ten battles, and lost several princesses and county lords to go out and make peace.

That year, the county lord of Qixiang was fourteen years old, and there was no marriage contract, and her father, who doted on her, was afraid that she would be sent to be married, so he wanted to promise the county lord of Qixiang to an uncle who had died in battle.

But who knew that the uncle died in battle before he could meet the lord of Qixiang County, and the county lord of Qixiang also fell in love with Gan Tang's father who escorted her to Xichuan Bian's house at that time.

Gan Tang Dad and Gan Tang Niang didn't know each other at that time, Gan Tang Niang was a tiger girl, Gan Tang Dad was a scribe and a Confucian student, these two people with very different personalities, they didn't look at each other unpleasantly when they met each other, but they were like dry firewood, and they got along very warmly.

But at the beginning, they didn't play at all, because Gan Tangniang and the county lord of Qixiang hit it off at first sight, and Gan Tangniang knew that the county lord of Qixiang liked Gan Tang's father for a long time.

For Gan Tangniang, being tempted by the man she likes for her sister is already a bad thing that should be dragged to the barracks to fight fifty kills, if she is entangled with the man she likes behind her sister's back, then at least she has to cut off her own palm to atone for her sins.

Gan Tang's father didn't know that the county lord of Qixiang liked him at that time, he couldn't understand that Gan Tangniang was obviously an open-minded and hearty little lady who smiled at everyone, why she was extraordinarily unapologetic to herself, and obviously the two had a common language when they first met.

He likes her to gallop freely on the grassland in all kinds of bright riding clothes, and she likes to listen to him sing and compose music, watch him play the piano and compose music, and whenever she meets her in high spirits, she will not dance with her.

Until, the county lord of Qixiang and Gan Tang's father told their admiration, Gan Tang's father refused on the spot, and also expressed his heart to the county lord of Qixiang, Gan Tang's father realized that Gan Tang's mother was not unintentional to herself, she was just worried about her sisterhood with the county lord of Qixiang.

Later, the county lord of Qixiang felt that he was embarrassed, and he broke off with Gan Tang's mother, and did not contact him for many years, and when she looked back at her childish measures back then, she was also annoyed, but at that time Gan Tang's parents had already had an accident.

Gan Tang quietly listened to the story of his parents' generation, and was also quite emotional, her parents were born in the turbulent era of the country, and finally became a family member after a lot of hardships.

"It's good that my father and mother got married, otherwise there would be no eldest brother, second sister, third brother and me."

Gan Tang's two older brothers and sisters did not live to the age of the family tree, so they are not on the Gan family tree, but Gan Tang's parents are very affectionate, and they will always have the place of their two children in their hearts.

Grandmother tapped Gan Tang's forehead, "Poor mouth!" It's only been a few months since I came out, and I don't talk the same as at home! ”

In fact, Gan Tang inherited her mother's lively temper, in the early years, she was innocent and cute, everyone liked it, and it was only after she experienced things that she slowly learned to be introverted.

Now, she is letting go of the pressure and baggage, and talking to her grandmother again, her temperament naturally seems a little weirder, in fact, she still looks like a master outside.

"It's just in front of my grandmother and aunt." Gan Tang sat between his two elders, and his attitude was so intimate.

……

In winter, people who don't have to run around for their livelihood mostly want to hide in winter, that is, a series of happy events will not be held in the coldest two months of the year.

And Gantang has been quite busy recently.

Going out to check the accounts is undoubtedly rich in receipts, and the boxes of silver taels and various items that were chased back by greedy ink in the past few years are filled with the three terraced houses newly opened in the backyard of Bian Mansion as a treasury.

Gan Tang led the girls to register one by one, and after being busy for several days, he finally sorted out the relics that Gan's mother had stolen that year.

Gan Tang couldn't control herself from crying once she looked at these things, even if she cried, someone would come to comfort her, and she could be comforted quickly.

After the eldest cousin-in-law came to persuade Gan Tang for the third time, she pushed the person out, "Okay, okay, I'll sort it out here, you go out for a walk." ”

Drunken Xun'er glanced at the sky that was full of snow, now the city is covered in snow, how can you go out to scatter, only the cold can be bearable.

The two were about to stop the eldest cousin's proposal, but the eldest cousin continued, "Yesterday, Lu Jiyi sent a letter to inform him that there was progress in inquiring about the Taoist priest, and grandma was in charge, and whoever went to inquire about the situation in this family could not be you, now ...... You're ready to go to the teahouse. ”

"Drunken Xun'er, change your girl's beautiful clothes, and comb your hair better."

Gan Tang was urged to go out, it was cold, and she really couldn't care about crying.

When he arrived at the teahouse, Lu Xun was already waiting in the wing, he thought that it would be his eldest cousin-in-law, he didn't want to be Gan Tang, he was overjoyed, he was nervous between his eyebrows, "Tang'er, why are your eyes red?" ”

Gan Tang wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, "It's okay." ”

"What happened before that?" Lu Xun asked.

Gan Tang exhaled before saying, "I've been tidying up the housework at home for the past few days, and I've sorted out my mother's relics today." ”

To say that Gan Tang is not without the relics of her parents and brothers, some things because she has the memory of a family of four, she still places them in a conspicuous place all the year round, chatting about sustenance, but these lost and recovered relics, she looks at it once and her heart throbs once.

"Tang'er, it's a joy that your aunt's things can be lost and recovered, you shouldn't be afraid of those who have evil intentions because they have acted in the past," Lu Xun comforted, "If there are things suitable for marriage, Tang'er is worthy of marriage, you have already taken many steps, and this step can also be taken steadily." ”

"You, why do you have to mention this every time we meet!" Gan Tang was coquettish.

"Then I won't mention it, Tang'er, the Taoist priest in prison confessed one thing, the matter is too important, if there is no evidence, it must not be publicized." Lu Xun also talked about it there, so he would mention the matter of marriage.

And today, he was in a very dignified mood, but because he was uncomfortable seeing Gan Tang, he put himself in a position backwards.

Seeing Lu Xun's solemn expression, Gan Tang also became nervous, "What did the Taoist priest say?" ”

"The Taoist priest said that a few years ago, he and his master, Wei Jingsan, buried a dead man, and that the dead man was a bandit."

Dead people are bandits.

Gan Tang chewed these words.

Her father and brother died because of the bandits, and their bodies have not been recovered.

It's ...... Is there a connection here!!

"That bandit originally came to extort money, but one night, he was killed by mistake by the Wei Jing San people, and then the Wei Jing San people hid in the north for more than half a year, and they returned to Lin County not long after you went to Xichuan."

Gan Tang suddenly heard some earth-shattering ghost story, Wei Jingsan and Gan Second Uncle had a connection, and the bandits came to blackmail Wei Jingsan again, and the bandits and Second Uncle Gan ......

Gan Tang shook his head again and again, "No, no, it won't be so terrible." ”

If the bandits are connected with Second Uncle Gan, then the death of Gan Tang's parents and brother is not an accident, but a murder!

Lu Xun took Gan Tang into his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly, "Tang'er, there is no evidence yet, this matter can't be strung together, don't panic, I will accompany you, I will always accompany you." ”

Gan Tang has burst into tears, the persecution of Gan Tang by the second uncle of Gan back then can be described as one move after another, that is, Gan Tang was surrounded by loyal servants and government guards left by his deceased father and mother at that time, and those framed with high-sounding reasons.

At the beginning, Second Uncle Gan had no mercy for Gan Tang, as if he wanted to kill him.

Gan Tang has not understood how an orphan girl with a broken family could be so hated by her second uncle.

She thought about it for a long time before she attributed the reason to Second Uncle Gan's greed for the Gan family's large long-term property.

But in fact, in Gan Tang's impression, although Second Uncle Gan is mediocre in his studies, and there are mostly all kinds of shops with great profits in his private property, his material desire is not heavy.

Don't look at the gold and silver he wears now, his travel back then was quite simple, if it weren't for the fact that every son and daughter of the Gan family had a valuable jade pendant, he couldn't see that he was the second master of the Gan family when he traveled.

"What exactly does he want?" Gan Tang asked blankly.

"Tang'er, I'll tell you as soon as I find out about this, it's not for you to be scared and panic, you have to calm down, think about what to do in the future, in a few days, we will have to have contacts between the two governments, see your second uncle, you have to be careful and careful, cautious and cautious."

Gan Tang is like an initiation, yes, even if everything the second uncle's actions seem inexplicable now, they can't find a thread to connect everything, but it's always right to guard against him.

"I know. Brother Yi, thank you for your contribution to this matter. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the Prison Department was Lu Xun's territory, and Lu Xun was particularly concerned about Gantang's affairs, and did not simply inspect and interrogate the Taoist priest for stealing property, the Taoist priest would not have spit out the murder under high pressure.

Lu Xun knotted, this is not what he should do, what is there to thank.
