Jinling City has a unique sense of beauty, she is not the most solemn in the north, but it is more beautiful than all the northland, she is not the most beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River, but more solemn than all the south of the Yangtze River, she is like a female emperor, more beautiful than the powerful and solemn emperor, more majestic and solemn than the graceful and gentle queen............

As the imperial capital of the Taizu Dynasty, Jinling Castle still retains most of the infrastructure at this time, and when it comes to comfort, to be honest, Jinling Castle is more suitable for life than Shenjing.

Although there is still a little dragon qi left, after nearly 90 years of baptism, in fact, in addition to the old palace, Jinling City at this time has become not much different from other cities in Dayan, so the only thing that can distinguish Jinling City may be the gold powder.

Jinling has a luxurious and gentle rural atmosphere that other cities do not have, and the ancient literati and inkmen mostly called it gold powder, which is this gold powder gas, adding a different temperament to Jinling............

Different from the rainy rain in Henan this year, the land south of the Yangtze River has not rained until winter, which began to rain, although Jinling belongs to the "warm south" in the eyes of the people of the north, but in fact the winter is also very cold, so there is also snow............

It's just that this year's winter doesn't seem to be as cold as before, so this year it's still raining, it's raining, and there are a lot fewer passers-by walking in a white wall and black tiles, only one person is holding an umbrella and shrinking his neck, walking briskly, and the footsteps of hurrying home have broken the mirror on the bluestone brick.

Finally walked to a small courtyard facing the street, he knocked lightly on the door, and then could not hide the excitement and longing in his tone and shouted: "the child! Open the door! I am back! ”

Although most of the former magnates and wealthy gentry were forcibly moved to Shenjing City at this time, the low price here is still not much cheaper, and it is still an inch of land.

"Daddy!"

After a while, the door of the small ebony yard was hurriedly opened, and the man was just about to walk in, when he saw two children who looked like five or six years old running over with a shrill laugh, and the man hurriedly lowered his body and reached out to grab the two sons, and kissed them one by one.

The two children laughed sharply to block the man's beard, and the man laughed and deliberately rubbed the soft faces of the two children with his stubble.

"He Er Gu'er, be careful, if you fall carefully, don't cry!"

A woman walked out with a gentle smile, wiped her hands with a towel, and stepped forward with a gentle smile, the woman looked like a gentle temperament unique to Jiangnan women, with willow eyebrows and goose egg face, and her actions seemed to be weak willow Fufeng, and a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes couldn't help but make her look old, but added a bit of gentle temperament.

Seeing this, the woman stepped forward to help the man take off the burden on his back, took the umbrella in his hand, and said softly: "Are you back?" ”

The man smirked and nodded, "Hmm! The woman carried the burden in her hand, shook her umbrella, and said, "Come in and wash, I just finished cooking." ”

The man nodded in response: "Hey! As he spoke, he put down the two children in his hand, and the two children smiled and hugged the woman's thighs: "Mother! Daddy pricked us with his beard just now! ”

The woman smiled and said, "Will you shave off your father in that moment?" The two children laughed and applauded, but the man smiled and grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Will you wash me in a while?" ”

The woman rolled her eyes angrily, then gently broke free of the man's hand and whispered, "Are the children still there............?"

The man smiled and whispered to lean in and said, "They are still young, what can they know............" Before the man finished speaking, he saw a young man standing opposite him and looking at him expressionlessly, the man couldn't help but be stunned, and then withdrew his hand stupidly.

The woman also came back to her senses, and after turning her head and seeing the young man, she hurriedly took a few steps back, and then hurriedly smiled: "Ping'er, why did you come out?" Come in, it's time to eat, it's strange cold outside............"

"No need!"

The young man looked at the man and said coldly, "I'll go back to school." The man forced a smile and said, "Zhiping, you see that my uncle is not often at home, and our family can't even have a reunion dinner............

The young man sneered and raised the corners of his mouth: "Your family has a reunion dinner!" Saying that, he walked away in the rain without looking back, and the light rain in the south of the Yangtze River was like a silk thread, which was not a big problem.

It's just that the courtyard after the young man left was a little dull, the man lowered his head, the woman couldn't help shedding two tears, and the two children hid behind the woman and lowered their heads in fear.

After I don't know how long, the woman wiped her tears and said to the man with a forced smile: "Let's eat first, Ping'er should have something to eat in school." ”

Hearing this, the man sighed helplessly and nodded and followed the woman in, a set of small courtyards with three entrances to create this elaborate small home, which can be seen from the potted plants in the yard, the large tanks with lotus flowers and goldfish planted on both sides, and the hostess is a very delicate person.

The family walked to the main hall, the man washed his face with hot water under the service of the woman, and then turned around and entered the side room, in the middle of the side room actually enshrined a Buddha shrine, the Buddha shrine is not a fairy Buddha, but a person's spiritual position, it is obvious that this is a spiritual hall.

The man took out the incense from the side and lit it on the incense candle on the side, bowed to the spiritual seat, then got up and inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then looked at the spiritual position carefully, which read: "Brother Xu Xu's spirit of ancestral glory!" On the side is engraved a line of small characters: "Brother Shi Shanpeng respectfully!" ”

That's right, this man is the ungrateful villain Shi Shanpeng that Xu Zurong said, and that woman is his wife Wu Xiumin, she originally had another name, called: "Xu Wu's!" ”

That's right, Wu Xiumin is Xu Zurong's original wife............

When the news that Xu Zurong fell into the water and there were no bones left, Wu Xiumin fainted on the spot, and after waking up, he began to look for death and life, but fortunately, Shi Shanpeng was dissuaded on the side, and his young son was crying and shouting for his mother on the side, so Wu Xiumin gave up looking for death and life.

After all, if she dies, what will happen to the only root of the Xu family, Xu Zurong's biological son Xu Zhiping? So for the sake of her son and the Xu family, Wu Xiumin did not commit suicide, she gritted her teeth and raised her son to adulthood!

Wu Xiumin only has this one wish, and he also has the intention of keeping the festival for Xu Zurong, but since that day, Shi Shanpeng has been caring for Wu Xiumin's orphans and widows, often helping with work and the like.

Wu Xiumin is very grateful to Shi Shanpeng, it is really not easy for orphans and widows to have no man, plus there are not many people in the Xu family, and even Xu Zurong's funeral was helped by this old friend for many years.

The money after Xu Zurong's death was also paid by him, Xu Zurong's money and goods were returned in a lot of money, and Wu Xiumin also helped to contribute money and efforts if he had any suffering.

Originally, Wu Xiumin was still a little disgusted with him, at the beginning, Xu Zurong tactfully persuaded Xu Zurong when he was with him, and he didn't look like a good person, but now it seems that he was wrong, and he only showed his loyalty in times of crisis!

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and Wu Xiumin was inevitably a little lonely after her husband's death, and gradually the two of them came together, and Wu Xiumin gradually accepted Shi Shanpeng.

Although Shi Shanpeng is only two years younger than Xu Zurong, he has never married, so he directly married Wu Xiumin, and Shi Shanpeng directly moved to Wu Xiumin's courtyard to live together.

The only person who has an opinion on this may be Xu Zurong's son Xu Zhiping, although Xu Zhiping was still young at the time, but he remembered who his biological father was, and where would he be willing to be someone else's father?

And since he was a child, he always dreamed in his dreams that there was a man in a red official robe, and the complement on the official robe was not a bird or beast but the sun, moon and stars, that man had bearded leopard eyes, green face and fangs, extremely ugly, looked at him and shook his head and scolded: "How dare a thief and a father come to see me?" Why don't you go back and change it soon! Idiot! Idiot! ”

Therefore, Xu Zhiping always felt that his father's death might have another hidden reason, but he only told his mother about this matter, and his mother only thought that he was a young man, and he didn't think so, so Xu Zhiping could only suppress this matter in his heart.

In this way, year after year, Wu Xiumin seems to have forgotten her deceased husband and returned to normal life, after which Wu Xiumin gave birth to two sons for Shi Shanpeng, and it seems that she really returned to the old days and forgot the existence of Xu Zurong.

Only at this time would Wu Xiumin look at the spirit of her deceased husband and shed a few tears, Shi Shanpeng sighed and patted Wu Xiumin on the shoulder: "Okay, Zu Rong won't want to see you like this." ”

Wu Xiumin nodded, then raised his head with a forced smile and smiled at Shi Shanpeng: "Let's eat first, it's almost cold............

Shi Shanpeng smiled and nodded, and the two walked out and returned to the main hall, but they didn't notice that the incense that had just been lit behind them was actually extinguished out of thin air, and the two sticks next to them were very short, and the middle one seemed to be unburned!

Shi Shanpeng sat in the hall to eat, looking at the dripping rain in the middle of the courtyard, not to mention how comfortable it was! The two sons squatted in the yard to play, and the gentle and beautiful wife served him a plate of vegetables.

Shi Shanpeng was inevitably a little flustered, so he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, an interesting incident happened when I was passing by Suqian County a few days ago. ”

Wu Xiumin said with a smile while serving him vegetables: "What's wrong?" Shi Shanpeng smiled: "I actually met a guard of honor of the Hou Ye!" ”

Wu Xiumin smiled when she heard this: "Really? How can there be a Hou Ye in a small county like Suqian? Shi Shanpeng shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Who knows? Maybe it's just passing by............ Haha, but the Suqian County Order was frightened! ”

Wu Xiumin smiled, and then asked, "Is there any difference in the Hou Ye's honor guard?" Do you want to be more powerful and powerful? ”

Shi Shanpeng pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't seem to be as powerful as our prefect in Jinling!" Just hold up two signs to bluff people, and there is nothing left! ”

Wu Xiumin was slightly surprised and said, "Won't it?" How could the dignified Hou Ye be like this? Shi Shanpeng smiled: "Who knows? I heard that there are a lot of poor marquis over there in Shenjing! Only a knighthood is worth a lot, and the life of the family is not as good as ours! I heard that in order to save, even the clothes at home are made by the girls of their own family! Some of them have to do three watches! ”

Wu Xiumin was slightly surprised when she heard this, but she still sighed and said: "It's pitiful, the scene of supporting this Hou Ye is not as comfortable as our little people." ”

Shi Shanpeng smiled: "Who said it wasn't? Saying that, he sighed comfortably and asked Wu Xiumin to drink a few glasses of wine with him, and Wu Xiumin stopped drinking after two glasses.

Shi Shanpeng didn't know if he was finally relaxed, or if he was in a really good mood, so he actually drank half a catty of wine in a row!

Wu Xiumin was slightly disgusted and asked him to drink less, Shi Shanpeng seemed to be very happy, but also because this kind of life was too comfortable, he didn't listen, and still took a sip of wine and looked outside.

Outside, at this time, his two sons didn't know when they caught a frog to play, one put the frog on the lotus leaf, and the other had a whim, and actually stabbed the frog in the leg with a bucket of wooden sticks in his hand!

The frog jumped into the water with a "croak", Shi Shanpeng didn't know what he thought, and suddenly smiled stupidly, and actually blurted out: "Zu Rong............ That's how I died! ”

Although this sentence was just said lightly, it seemed to be a common thing, but it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the smile on Wu Xiumin's face suddenly froze, and the whole person suddenly fell into an ice cave!

Wu Xiumin's eyes widened and she looked at Shi Shanpeng in disbelief and said, "What did you say?" Shi Shanpeng suddenly realized that he had said this matter proudly for a while!

Therefore, his complexion changed, and then he smiled reluctantly: "What, what? What are you talking about? I didn't speak............"

Wu Xiumin glared at Shi Shanpeng, if Shi Shanpeng had said that he had made a mistake, Wu Xiumin might believe it! But Shi Shanpeng actually denied it!

She heard it clearly, and what Shi Shanpeng said clearly was that Xu Zurong died like this! How did Zu Rong die? Didn't Shi Shanpeng say that Zu Rong fell into the water? If he dies like he just did, it will be clearly ............

Wu Xiumin's whole body suddenly exploded, she grabbed Shi Shanpeng's shirt reluctantly, looked at Shi Shanpeng through gritted teeth, and said, "Let me ask you!" What did you just say? How did Zu Rong die? You said! ”

Shi Shanpeng suddenly woke up with a lot of alcohol, and his eyes dodged: "You, what do you say?" Are you tired? I didn't say ............."

Wu Xiumin suddenly erupted, and the whole person got up and knocked the table full of food to the ground, and roared hysterically: "I can hear it clearly!" You said that Zu Rong died like this! You tell me! How did Zu Rong die!! ”

Shi Shanpeng was silent, the two children in the yard were also frightened, Shi Shanpeng hesitated for a long time, and finally said helplessly to Wu Xiumin: "I, I was too scared at the time, so I ............"

Wu Xiumin's legs were weak, the whole person was stunned, she looked ahead blankly, her brain was blank, Shi Shanpeng hurriedly said when she saw this: "Xiumin, you believe me, it's all because I love you too much!" I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you! For your sake, I would rather never marry! ”

Shi Shanpeng sighed helplessly and said: "I have to do this in order to get you, and I don't want to do this!" Wu Xiumin's face was as pale as paper, and he was stunned and didn't say a word.

Shi Shanpeng opened his mouth when he saw her like this, and he didn't know what to say, he felt that there was no problem, the two of them had passed so many years, and it was longer than the time they had followed Xu Zurong!

Besides, you have two sons, what else can you do? This is how it has been these years, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, even if I kill your husband, I also told you that I love you too much, you have given me everything, and my son has also been born, what can I do besides living a peaceful life with me?

Really report me? How can you, a weak woman, live with three children? Besides, when the children grow up, how can they tell them where their father has gone? Therefore, Shi Shanpeng is quite fearless.

It's no accident that all this happened today, I really kept this secret in my heart for too long! This secret is going to torture him crazy! So it's not a bad thing to take this opportunity to say it to the person closest to you, and to Wu Xiumin, who is also one of the parties...............

He sighed, stepped forward and patted Wu Xiumin on the shoulder, just about to tell her that she would live a good life in the future, don't think about these things anymore, let's treat these things as if they didn't happen...............

Who knew that Wu Xiumin coldly dodged Shi Shanpeng's hands, I don't know why, these hands had obviously touched her whole body, but now she felt that these hands were extremely disgusting, which made her nauseous!

Shi Shanpeng was stunned for a moment and was about to say something, but the voice of the guy in the store came from outside the door, saying that there was something to deal with in the store, and there was a problem with the batch of goods he had just brought back.

Wu Xiumin looked coldly at Shi Shanpeng's departing back, she hated, she couldn't wait to kill Shi Shanpeng immediately! I want to kill herself right away! She was actually with her husband's killer!
