Chapter 230: I seem to be the Pei family
Kunde Hall, in the study.
Liang Zhaoyi was also very surprised when she heard Zhao Yao say this. She hurriedly put down the paintbrush in her hand and asked in surprise: "What are you talking about, Dingyuan is the Pei family, what's going on?" ”
Zhao Yao thought to himself that it was no wonder that when he first saw the birthmark of the petals on Dingyuan's back waist, he felt very familiar, and he always felt that he had seen it somewhere. Because he had read Pei Guifei's codex with Liang Zhaoyi before. It is recorded in that codex that the descendants of the Pei family had a birthmark similar to a peach blossom on their waists after birth.
Pei Guifei had a birthmark of a peach blossom on her waist, so the emperor of the previous dynasty gave her a small name "Taotao". The emperor of the previous dynasty also specially planted a peach forest in her palace, which was an imperial city at that time and a beautiful scenery of the entire capital. However, later the Pei family rebelled, Pei Guifei was demoted to the cold palace, and this peach forest was destroyed.
At that time, the peach grove was burned by a fire, and not a single peach tree was left. Today, there are still traces of the peach grove being destroyed by fire.
However, few people know that the children of the Pei family have peach blossom birthmarks. At that time, only the Pei family knew. Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao knew about this because Pei Guifei left a codex written by herself. In this codex, she wrote a lot about the Pei family.
At the beginning, when Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao found this codex, they thought it was incredible, but they didn't expect Pei Guifei to write such a thing about the Pei family.
Perhaps after Concubine Pei Guifei was relegated to the cold palace, she learned that her entire family had been killed, and no one was left, so she deliberately wrote this codex, in order to write down everything about the Pei family. She may be afraid that after her death, no one will know about the Pei family. Or, she hopes that one day, someone can wash away the grievances of their Pei family, but unfortunately knowing that the previous dynasty was destroyed, no one rehabilitated their Pei family.
Zhao Yao told Liang Zhaoyi about the peach blossom birthmark on Dingyuan's waist, "I felt familiar at the time, as if I had seen it somewhere, it turned out that I had seen it in the codex left by Pei Guifei." ”
"Are you sure the birthmark you saw on Dingyuan is a peach blossom birthmark?"
Zhao Yao nodded affirmatively: "I read that right, I remember it very clearly." As he spoke, he pinched his chin and showed a look of sudden realization on his face, "No wonder Dingyuan has a noble aura on his body, he doesn't look like a beggar, at that time I thought that Dingyuan's background must be very good, it is very likely that he was abducted, but I didn't expect him to be the Pei family." ”
Liang Zhaoyi heard Zhao Yao talk about Dingyuan, at that time she still felt that this child was pitiful, he was abducted when he was young, and then became a beggar, was bullied, and was almost beaten to death, Fortunately, she met Zhao Yao and them.
"So Dingyuan is the Pei family, and he is also a descendant of the Pei family."
Zhao Yao calculated the seniority in his heart and guessed: "Then is he Pei Guifei's nephew?" ”
"Maybe, or maybe great-grandson."
"The Pei family really secretly hid a descendant, and did not let Emperor Xia Ling kill them all, and continued the incense for the Pei family." Zhao Yao sighed with emotion, "Sure enough, what is written in the book is true." There are also stories in the book that the whole family is often raided, but there will be a story of one person who survives and then avenges the whole family. At that time, he said that there might be someone in the Pei family alive, but he didn't expect that he would really guess it.
"I didn't expect me to be so lucky, a beggar I picked up casually on the street turned out to be a descendant of the Pei family, and a descendant of the lineage." According to the story he has read, he is the master of Dingyuan, knows Dingyuan's identity, and then uses Dingyuan's desire for revenge to train Dingyuan into a cold-blooded weapon killer. Dingyuan was used by him to do a lot of things, and then Dingyuan found out that he was deceived, and then killed him, the master.
Of course, this is the content of the script, although he is the master of Dingyuan, but he is not the culprit who destroyed Dingyuan's full door, and it is impossible to use Dingyuan to help him kill his enemies.
"I remember that Ling said that Dingyuan doesn't remember who he is, and he can't remember what happened before he came to the capital?"
Zhao Yao heard Liang Zhaoyi say this, and then he remembered this matter. He stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "Alas, yes, Dingyuan said that he seemed to have had a serious illness before, and he seemed to have a fever, and then after he got better, he forgot all the previous things, and he didn't remember who he was at all." ”
After hearing this, Liang Zhaoyi sighed softly: "This may be a good thing for him." If he remembers the past, he may live in hatred all day long. ”
Zhao Yao sat on the chair with his hands on his chest, frowning, and his expression was a little solemn.
"This ...... It's a little hard to do......"
Liang Zhaoyi hurriedly asked, "What's so difficult?" ”
"Once Dingyuan's identity as a descendant of the Pei family is exposed, Dingyuan is afraid that he will not be able to live, although the previous dynasty has perished, but Han Zhong of Shu has other intentions for the Pei family." The fingers of Zhao Yao's right hand lightly tapped the arm of his left hand, "If Han Zhong knows that someone in the Pei family is still alive, he will definitely not let Dingyuan go." In order to find the treasure of the Pei family, he will definitely torture Dingyuan to extract a confession, but Dingyuan has no memory of the Pei family. ”
"It's very likely that what you said, but no one else will know about the Pei family." Liang Zhaoyi said, "Except for us, no one in this world will know that the descendants of the Pei family have peach blossom birthmarks." ”
"Not necessarily, maybe Han Zhong knows that there are still people alive in the Pei family, and it is very likely that he has been looking for the Pei family." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "There must be something terrible in the Pei family, otherwise Han Zhong in Shu would not secretly send someone to the capital and sneak into the Pei family's deserted mansion." ”
He said again: "Since Han Zhong can know that the Pei family has something terrible, maybe he also knows that the descendants of the Pei family have peach blossom birthmarks. ”
Liang Zhaoyi felt that what Zhao Yao said was very reasonable. She frowned slightly and said, "Then you must not let Han Zhong's people know about Dingyuan's existence." ”
"Fortunately, a few of us have seen the peach blossom birthmark on Dingyuan's body, except for me, even the second uncle didn't care about the birthmark on Dingyuan's body."
"That's good, take Dingyuan to the bathhouse to take a bath in the future." Liang Zhaoyi advised, "The fewer birthmarks on his body people can see, the better." ”
"It's natural, but how can I remind Dingyuan not to show his birthmark to others easily?" Zhao Yao pondered, "Should I tell Dingyuan his identity?" Maybe if he was told who he was, what would he remember? ”
"Yaoyao, is recovering his memory a good thing or a bad thing for him?"
"Mother concubine, the emperors of the previous dynasty are all dead, even if Dingyuan recovers his memory, he can't take revenge." Zhao Yao said, "Besides, after such a long time, it is impossible for him to live in hatred." The most important thing is that he is the last bloodline of the Pei family, and Concubine Pei must hope that he can live well as the Pei family. ”
"Who are you going to tell him?"
Zhao Yao nodded slightly and said, "Whether he can recover his previous memories or not, I think it's better to tell him." ”
"Then tell him." Liang Zhaoyi thought of the treasure of the Pei family, and told Zhao Yao, "If he recovers his memory in the future and thinks that you are also taking him in for the treasure of the Pei family, what will you do then?" ”
"I'm not interested in the Pei family's treasure, it's a hot potato for me, and I don't want to get into trouble." Zhao Yao said, "Even if Dingyuan recovers his memory in the future and kindly tells me about the Pei family's treasures, I don't want to hear it." The treasures of the Pei family, he should keep them for himself. "He loves money, but he doesn't accept money that is troublesome or dangerous. Besides, he can make money himself.
Liang Zhaoyi said deliberately: "Maybe the treasure left by the Pei family is rich enough to rival the country." ”
"Then it depends on whether I can use it or not." Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "Although I love money, I love life even more." ”
Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Liang Zhaoyi felt relieved.
"Then tell him and let him know where he came from."
"I'll tell him next month when I'm resting."
After Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao finished talking about business, Gui Xing and Tongxi dared to come in and tell them about Concubine Ying's promotion to Concubine Ying, as well as Concubine Rong being kicked out of the imperial study by the emperor.
"So, it was Concubine Rong who sent someone to assassinate Concubine Ying." The corners of Zhao Yao's mouth raised a playful smile, "Concubine Rong is really bold. ”
"She's testing your father."
"Tempting your father?" Zhao Yao thought about it for a while, and immediately figured it out, "Does she want to test her father's heart, is she important, or is Concubine Ying important." “
"Hmm."
"Now it seems that her temptation has failed." Zhao Yao gloated and smiled, "At present, in my father's heart, Concubine Ying is more important. ”
When Liang Zhaoyi heard this, she just smiled slightly.
"It's going to be lively."
At the same time, Dingyuan took Tong'an to a shabby place where he used to live as a beggar.
Although the West Market is bustling and lively, there are also many dilapidated places. These places are befriended by the North City, and the beggars of the West City basically live in this area.
The houses in this area are dilapidated, messy, and smelly.
Tong An didn't expect Dingyuan to live in such a shabby place before, but the place where he used to live in the palace was not much better than here.
At this time, it is evening, and the beggars who live here go to the night market to beg.
Begging in the night market, not only can you eat, maybe if you are lucky, you can also get a copper plate or two rewarded by well-wishers.
Dingyuan used to live at the back of this area, and the place where he lived was dilapidated and small, and he was not taken by other beggars.
Tong An saw Dingyuan looking for it in the broken shed where he used to live, so he asked, "Dingyuan, what are you looking for?" ”
"A package, there should be a few books in it." Dingyuan said, "I dreamed yesterday as if I had dreamed about my previous things, and then I dreamed that I seemed to have a baggage, and there seemed to be a few books in the baggage. ”
Tong An knew that Dingyuan had lost his previous memories, and when he heard him say this, he was surprised: "You are starting to recover your memories now?" ”
Dingyuan shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I've been dreaming about things that look like before recently, and I don't know if it's true, so I want to verify it." ”
"I see, then I'll help you find it."
"It should be in this piece." Dingyuan picked up a piece of wood and began to dig it, and when Tong'an saw this, he helped him dig together.
The two dug for more than half an hour, and finally dug up a burden, a rag burden.
"Yes, that's it, exactly like the dream." Dingyuan said happily, and immediately reached out and took out the rag baggage. He hurriedly opened the bag and found that there were indeed several books inside, but there were no titles on the covers.
He reached out and picked up the first book, carefully opened it and looked at it, and what caught his eye was the words "Pei Family Motto".
He and Tong'an read out in unison: "Pei's family motto? “
The pages of the book are yellowed, and the words on them are a little blurry, but you can still see what is written.
"Pei family?" Dingyuan inexplicably felt a little familiar, and there was a sense of intimacy. "Did I use to be part of the Pei family?"
"Quite possibly." Tong'an looked at a few lines of Pei's family motto, and said in surprise, "Dingyuan, maybe your family used to be a big family, I remember that only big families have lessons." “
Dingyuan looked at the content of the Pei family's family motto, and the sense of familiarity in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"I feel as if I have memorized this family motto before, as if someone forced me to memorize it."
"Then you must be the Pei family." Tong'an said to Dingyuan, "Dingyuan, congratulations, you have a surname, and your name is Pei Dingyuan now." ”
"Pei Dingyuan?" Dingyuan smiled, "The surname Pei and the name Dingyuan match very well. ”
"Let's see what the books are below." Tong An urged.
Dingyuan hurriedly opened the remaining two books and looked at them. These two books still have no names, and the content is very strange. It looks like poetry, but it doesn't. It looks like it's a story, but it doesn't seem to be. Some gods babble and don't know what it means.
"When the young master comes, you can show the young master, maybe the young master knows what it means." In Tong'anxin, Zhao Yao doesn't care if he can't.
Dingyuan also believed that Zhao Yao could know what these two books were, "Then show them to the young master." ”
"It's getting late, let's go back."
"Okay." Before Dingyuan left, he looked back and took a deep look at the place where he had lived.
At this moment, an image suddenly appeared in his mind.
A middle-aged woman looked very serious and told him, "You must go back to ......."
Where to go back?
"You must go back...... Be sure to find them...... Be sure to check them out...... You must ......" Before the middle-aged woman finished speaking, her eyes closed, and she was silent immediately.
Tong'an walked a few steps, saw Dingyuan standing there motionless, hurriedly walked back and asked with concern: "Dingyuan, what's wrong?" ”
"I just had some images flashing in my mind, there was a woman who told me to go back, but I didn't say where I went back, she didn't say who she wanted me to see, but she didn't say who I wanted to meet, and I was told to go." Dingyuan tried his best to remember, but his mind went blank and he didn't think of anything.
Dingyuan raised his hand and slapped his head, hoping that he could remember something, but he still couldn't think of anything in his head.
Tong An grabbed his hand and comforted him: "Even if you knock your head out, you won't think of anything." ”
"Tong'an, I feel like I've forgotten something very important."
"Since it's an important thing, I'll definitely remember it in the future." Tong An patted Dingyuan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Aren't you starting to dream about the previous things now?" It's a good thing, maybe you'll dream about it in the future, and one day you'll remember it all. ”
Being so comforted by Tong'an, Dingyuan felt much better.
"You're right."
"Let's go, it's time to go home."
"Okay, go home."
After walking for a while, Dingyuan looked at Tong'an beside him, and suddenly said, "Tong'an, the young master is actually the prince, right?" ”
When Tong An heard this, he was so shocked that he almost tripped, but fortunately stabilized his body in time. He looked at Dingyuan in astonishment: "You know? ”
"I guessed it a long time ago." Dingyuan also knew Tong'an's identity for a long time, but he didn't say it intimately. "At first glance, the young master is not the son of an ordinary rich businessman."
"Then why don't you guess that it's the son of the eunuch family?"
"The young master's bearing is not like a child of an official eunuch." Dingyuan said with a smile, "Also, those things arranged by the young master don't seem to be done by the children of the official eunuchs. ”
"The true identity of the young master, I can't tell you. Wait for the young master to come next time, you can ask the young master directly, and the young master should tell you. ”
"Okay." In fact, Dingyuan also guessed Zhao Yao's identity. He had heard some royal things from his husband before, and if he guessed correctly, the young master was the tenth prince.
There is also a shift in the evening.
Zhao Yao: What should I do if I suddenly find out that my subordinates have a treasure?
In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a tip! Leave a message!
