Volume 1 The First Encounter Chapter 39 Decision

Li Jiaoer's mother in her memory, Tang Ying in the mouth of her father and grandmother, every detail is so clear.

Her mother was indeed not a very sociable person, and every day she either wrote and painted, or held her to write and paint, and was very talkative, and would point to her to write and draw things, and tell her those wonderful ideas.

Li Jiaoer always listened to what she said to her mother at that time, and she fell asleep after listening to it; When she wakes up, she is always placed on the couch, and her mother is on the table next to her, still writing and drawing.

When she woke up, her mother would smile kindly, beckon someone to pour her tea and give her delicious snacks, but she was not allowed to eat more.

The mother also had dimples on her cheeks, but not as deep as hers.

Li Jiao'er thought about it, and her eyes began to heat up again.

How can her mother be a bad person?

She remembered that her mother had said that firearms should be used but should not be abused, otherwise they would be poisoned and harmed to the people.

Since she is not sociable, how did she meet Chen Guoren? Since he doesn't like the abuse of firearms, how could he do that heinous case that hurt hundreds of people for Chen Guo?

Li Jiaoer thought wildly, and it wasn't until her grandmother woke up that she hid her emotions, talked to her grandmother with a smile, and was persuaded to eat half a piece of snacks to ease the old man's heart.

In the afternoon, when her grandmother was about to return to the Karakumi Pavilion again, Li Jiaoer said goodbye to her elders and returned to the Anyang Hou Mansion with Yuntuan.

Xue Zhen is still not at home, and the servants know that there was a conflict between the husband and wife yesterday, even if they didn't look at Li Jiao'er in the past, they didn't dare to provoke her eyes at this time, and they all avoided her.

After Li Jiaoer decided to reconcile and leave, she also avoided this group of people, and ignored them at the moment, only returned to the center of Chunshan and continued to hold her mother's codex to read.

Yun Tuan watched from the side, trying to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him, so he had to bring tea and put it in front of Li Jiaoer, and he sat aside to embroider.

Li Jiaoer looked at it for more than half an hour, but she still didn't see anything, and her eyelids had already begun to fight.

She hasn't rested well from yesterday to today, and she has hidden too many things in her heart, and she finally can't hold it anymore at the moment.

But Li Jiaoer still refused to sleep, propped her forehead, closed her eyes for a while, and opened her eyes again to continue watching.

As a result, because of the difficulty of supporting my heart, I dozed off when I closed my eyes again, my hand slipped, and I accidentally spilled the tea.

Yun Tuan was startled, hurriedly put down the needle and thread, and said, "Miss, what's wrong with Miss?" ”

When Li Jiaoer saw that the tea was spilled on the codex, she was also frightened to stand up and snatch the codex.

"Really," she said to herself, she was about to cry, "I was so careless." ”

"Miss, don't worry, the slave asked people to light a brazier in the yard, so it's good to roast it raw." Yun Tuan comforted.

Li Jiaoer nodded, carefully flipped through the codex, checked how wet it was, whether there were blurred words, etc., while flipping, and gently pressed the water with a handkerchief.

Yun Tuan had already instructed the girls to bring the braziers, turned around and came back, and also helped Li Jiaoer save the Codex together.

"Miss, is it badly damaged?" She asked.

"It's okay," Li Jiao'er sighed, "Fortunately, in the past few years, I have memorized it, and when it is dried, I will see how much it has deteriorated, and I will make up for it." ”

Yun Tuan heard her tone become more and more depressed, and became more worried, and was about to comfort her, when she suddenly saw Li Jiaoer's expression change abruptly.

"What's wrong with Miss?" She asked hurriedly.

Li Jiao'er didn't speak, but stared at the handwriting that gradually surfaced on the wet page of the codex.

Yun Tuan hadn't read Tang Ying's codex, so he didn't know what was going on, so he could see her expression as if she had been hit, and she also knew that something was wrong.

At this time, Cuiliu and Cuiyin carried the brazier and placed it on the porch, and were about to come in to tell them, but Yun Tuan was busy winking at them and signaling them not to speak.

The two understood, and retreated outside the door to look at the brazier.

Li Jiaoer still looked at the words that appeared on the codex.

It was a letter to my mother, written in a small block of special ink, which would emerge when exposed to water, and as the paper dried, the handwriting on it became fainter and lighter.

Sister Yingying:

Seeing the words as faces, brother is in Chendi, knowing that you are hesitant. But you and I are not the old people of Zhao, and if we talk about loyalty, Zhao is our feud. What she said that day, I hope that Sister Ying will think twice. Hope for revenge.

Brother Yamanomura words.

Li Jiao'er stared at the words, watching them slowly fade and disappear, and her heart became more and more empty and heavy.

How so?

Could it be that what Xue Zhen said turned out to be true?

But what do you mean by "Zhao Geng is our feud"? What are the things that are said? Was it the explosion?

The mountain of ironclad evidence seemed to be right in front of her, first she didn't believe it, and then she panicked, but when the words disappeared, Li Jiaoer's chaotic heart calmed down.

*

In the last years of the previous dynasty, wars were frequent, the people were divided, and the people were displaced, and the Jokhang Taizu was a county at that time, and after the county order abandoned the city and fled, he led the people to resist the rogue and the bandits, and sheltered the people, so he got the name of benevolence and righteousness.

After that, Taizu's subordinates gathered more and more, occupied more and more places, and finally became a hegemon that could not be ignored when the world was divided into countless forces after the death of Emperor Wai of the previous dynasty.

It's a pity that although Taizu protected one side, he didn't take a holiday, and died of illness at the age of forty-one, and then his two sons, although they stabilized the land they occupied, they were still not eternal, and they only stopped at Shoucheng when they were alive.

Until the fourth generation of Gaozu, the place under the jurisdiction of the Jokhang was already rich and full of people, so he played the name of righteousness, fought hard and horses, destroyed everywhere he went, and finally laid down the old capital of the previous dynasty, officially called the emperor, changed the name of the country to Jokhang, determined the order, announced the peace of the people, and reduced taxes and exempted taxes.

For a time, the people of the world and all kinds of workers came, not only the capital quickly restored its prosperity, but even the territory under the jurisdiction of Jokhang was more prosperous, with bumper harvests year after year, and the grain warehouse was full.

When Li Jiaoer's maternal great-grandfather followed into the capital, he did a lot of work to repair the palace and dwellings, and under the instruction of Gaozu, he led a group of craftsmen who came to build the Imperial Immortal Garden.

After four years, the national strength of the Jokhang was stronger, and after eliminating several small forces in a row, Gaozu once again gathered a large army to defeat Chen and Zheng, who were also not weak at that time, in order to dominate the world.

Unexpectedly, six months later, Gaozu suddenly fell ill on the battlefield and died.

The heart of the Jokhang army was shaken, and they had to withdraw and return to Beijing, and the great cause of unifying the world came to an abrupt end.

Since then, the world has become a trend, although the Jokhang is the most powerful, and the monarch is not confused, but it has not been able to dominate the world.

The Tang family settled in the capital of the Jokhang until today.

Li Jiaoer sat back and thought about those old things.

My grandfather's family was indeed not a prince, but the most ordinary craftsman in the previous dynasty, and in the last years of the previous dynasty, the monarchs and ministers were mediocre, and the people were not happy, and the great-grandfather's family was even after a big flood, leaving only him and a little sister.

But just like that, that sister was still kidnapped by Haoqiang, and her great-great-grandfather wanted to stop it, but she was beaten to the point that she had only one breath left, and she was thrown into the wild to die.

My maternal great-grandfather was gone at that time, but fortunately, a timely rain saved him.

After surviving easily in the wild, my maternal great-grandfather secretly found the Haoqiang again, only to learn that in just three days, my sister was tortured to death by the wicked man and thrown into a mass grave.

The bones were never found.

My maternal great-grandfather wants revenge, but with him, how can he get revenge? It's just that every day doesn't work.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the angry great-grandfather joined the rebel army, but when he returned to his hometown with the rebel army, that Haoqiang had been killed by the previous rebel army in the chaos, and the family fortune was scattered.

Within a few months, my great-great-grandfather's rebel army was also defeated in the war and fell apart.

The desperate maternal great-grandfather didn't know where to go, although the world was full of rebels at that time, most of them were just rabble, and even more did not even fight in the name of righteousness, but what they did was no different from that hero.

It wasn't until he heard that there was a county in Zhao County, who was extremely benevolent and righteous, and was willing to shelter the homeless, so he left his homeland and traveled thousands of miles to settle in Zhao County, and finally followed Gaozu all the way into the capital and watched the founding of the Zhao Dynasty.

These things were repeated by her grandfather, grandmother, and mother.

Therefore, for the Tang family, the Zhao is clearly a benefactor who gives shelter in troubled times, how can he be an enemy?

Li Jiaoer couldn't figure it out.

And who are the people from the mountain village? Looking at the words he calls his mother, it seems to be very close?

But her mother was an only daughter, and she had never heard of her grandfather and grandmother, and there were apprentices in Chen Guo that she did not know.

Li Jiaoer looked at her mother's writing on this page, it was a new kind of agricultural waterwheel, the completion drawing, the dismantling drawing, and the small print on the side explained in detail when and where this kind of waterwheel was suitable and how to use it.

It's no different from every other page.

In a flash, Li Jiaoer began to wonder if her mother had seen the letter.

This is not a ridiculous idea, after all, when my mother records things, she always has what she has at hand and uses it.

Li Jiao'er thought for a long time before she said to Yun Tuan: "Yun Tuan, go bake the Codex dry." ”

"Yes."

Yun Tuan had been looking at her nervously, and now listening to her, he was finally relieved, and hurriedly took the codex to the yard and began to roast it carefully.

Li Jiao'er pondered in the room for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked to the door, and did not open the door, but said to the four cui maids: "Go and pack my autumn and winter clothes." ”

Everyone was stunned: "Madam, what is this for?" ”

Even if you go back to your parents' house to live, you can't wear autumn and winter clothes on these days.

"Not only winter clothes, but also hairpin ring jewelry, I don't need much, just pack the ones I use often. Go to the Karakuri Pavilion again, bring all my tools, and bring all the usual spares," Li Jiao'er instructed, and said to Yun Tuan, "Bring more money, even pack your things together, and be sure to bring more autumn and winter clothes." ”

Yun Tuan finally understood, and said strangely: "Miss, where are you going?" ”

Li Jiao'er raised her head, looked at the gate of Chunshan Residence, and said slowly for a long time:

"And the son, go to the northern frontier."

Everyone looked at Li Jiaoer in disbelief.

Some time ago, I was still clamoring to go back to my parents' house, why did I go to the frontier with my son today?

Li Jiaoer's gaze became more and more determined.

Go to Northern Xinjiang, to the place closest to Chen Guo, to find out everything she wants to know.
