Donglin thought for a while and said, "I only remember my mother's surname Han, and I don't remember anything else."

Xianghua nodded. Yes, her father and she had rarely talked about her mother's relatives before, and they shouldn't have known.

"My mother's surname is Han, and my name is Miaozhen." Xianghua smiled lightly and said to Donglin and Xiangmiao, "The wonder is the wonder of the wonderful pen Danqing, it is really back to the basics." Our mother is a good person worthy of this name. The beginning of the story begins with the death of the concubine in the capital. ”

The story of a person's life is always short in the mouth of others, and it doesn't take half a day to reach the end.

Donglin and Xiangmiao heard the story of their mother's story for the first time, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time after listening to it.

After a long while, Xiang Miao hated and said, "Wei Qi deserves it!" Death is too good for him! ”

Donglin asked: "Sister, is there really no one in my mother's family?" Now that Wei Qi has been punished for several crimes, the grievances of the Han family should also be revealed. ”

Xianghua shook her head: "After I found out the truth of the matter, I immediately asked someone to find it." Back then, the Han family was unjustly imprisoned, and it didn't take long for the old and young ones to die. Young and middle-aged people are either doing hard labor or selling, and they are nowhere to be found, and there is nowhere to follow. Only my mother was lucky, and she was saved by her father. ”

"Although Wei Qi covered the sky with one hand, why did his mother want to die?" Kanae asked.

Donglin said: "I think my mother personally thought that she had escaped, but I didn't expect that it was still in Wei Qi's hands in the end." Wei Qi will do everything he can to get what he wants, and his mother's family angered him because they wanted to investigate his crimes, but he should still have a little affection for his mother, but his mother will definitely not obey, and at that time we will be fish on the chopping board, and we can only be used by him. If you want to defend your actions, you will know how he will do to us. ”

Xiangmiao nodded suddenly in understanding, and asked again: "My mother resists so fiercely, won't Wei Qi be even more angry?" Why don't we know ......?"

Xianghua said: "Although my mother is a weak woman, she also has a hard side. Before she made her final decision, she should have left a letter or a word to save us a life. Wei Qi didn't take us seriously from beginning to end, and as soon as his mother died, he didn't bother to care about us. ”

Donglin and Xiangmiao were silent for a while.

After a while, Xiangmiao said, "Sister, what does my mother look like?" I don't even remember what she looked like. ”

Xianghua smiled and said, "Dad must still remember, let's ask Dad to draw a portrait of my mother."

Donglin also said: "When are we going to talk to my father about my mother?" If Dad knew, would he be able to stand it? ”

Xianghua thought about it, but she wasn't very sure, "Let's talk to my father first." ”

Xianghua said as slowly as she could, keeping an eye on her father's reaction.

However, Cheng Linchang had only listened quietly all the time, and his face looked quite calm.

It wasn't until he heard Han Miaozhen throw himself into the river that his expression was finally moved, and his face twitched a few times before he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He took a breath and calmed down before saying, "I should have guessed a long time ago." Over the years, I often dreamed that your mother was alone on the foggy water, and at first I didn't understand it, but then I gradually had some speculations...... It's because I'm so useless that I let your mother go unclear and let her wander alone for so many years. ”

Xianghua said: "Dad, you didn't know when my mother left, and then there were three of us little dolls dragging you, even if you have the heart, you are powerless, your mother will definitely understand."

Cheng Linchang was still wiping away tears.

Donglin also said: "Dad, no one complains about this, only Wei Qi is the culprit." Now it is also the revenge of the mother's family, if the emperor orders a re-investigation of the old case, we can overturn the case for the mother's family. If it doesn't work for a while, I'll wait for me to become an official in the future and overturn the case myself. ”

Cheng Linchang listened to this, nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy, if your mother knew that you had this heart, she would definitely be very moved."

Xiangmiao said coquettishly: "Dad, we all want to see what our mother looks like, you can talk to us about it."

There was light in Cheng Linchang's eyes when he mentioned Han Miaozhen, he nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Your mother's family suffered at that time, and she almost ...... when I met her. was almost sold to the Qinglou, she would rather die than obey, almost committed suicide, when her head was bleeding, she saw that she couldn't be saved, and people were afraid that she would be worthless if she died, so I said I would buy her. ”

At that time, Cheng Linchang was also in his early twenties, and he carried more than one or two pieces of silver earned by hard work, and he had been grinding his mouth with human teeth for a long time before bringing the dying Han Miaozhen home.

"When your mother was brought back, she felt that she couldn't survive, and your grandfather was still a little angry at the time, and a tael of silver at that time was a lot. Your grandmother took pity on your mother, so she finally thought of a way to save your mother's life, and it was Chenggang's father who helped at that time. ”

Cheng Linchang said this, and Xianghua was not impressed. In her memory, Han Miaozhen has always been gentle and reserved, and she can't imagine the picture of Han Miaozhen hitting her head and bleeding.

After Cheng Lin Changxu cried, he gradually felt a little relieved, and told a few children about his and Han Miaozhen's short and beautiful memories with a little smile.

"Your mother was rescued from the tiger wolf's den, and she is very wary of the people around her. She thought I was a bad person at first, and kicked and scratched me, and this mark on my arm was bitten by your mother at that time. ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal a shallow white tooth mark on his arm, which showed that the bite was not a joke. But when Cheng Linchang recalled it again, his face was full of happiness.

Xiangmiao smiled: "Yo, my mother's teeth are not vegetarian!" ”

Cheng Linchang smiled: "Your mother looks weak, but she is actually very strong. Back then, she was a weak woman, all the way from the capital, if she wasn't smart and brave enough, she wouldn't have lived to that point. Later, I persuaded her with kind words, and she realized that I was not a bad person and was willing to talk to me. ”

At this point, although Han Miaozhen's face is not clear, Xianghua and the others have gradually had a relatively clear outline in their hearts.

"We got married a year later. I know that your mother concealed her background, but since she didn't want to say it, I didn't ask about it. After your grandmother told her about getting married, it didn't take long for her to agree. I saw that she couldn't do farm work, so I asked her to cook and do laundry at home, and she learned very quickly, and it didn't take long for her to be able to do farm work in the field. Although it was bitter at the time, it is very precious when I think about it now. ”

Cheng Linchang rarely said so many words, perhaps these words had been hidden in his heart for many years. He didn't have time to show his heart to Han Miaozhen, so he could only talk about the memories of those days over and over again, and feel the preciousness of those times.

"A year later, we have fragrant flowers in our house. Your mother was very happy and made a lot of small clothes and hats herself. At that time, I felt that God had treated me well. ”
