"The owner of Yuqing Village, I'm scared to death Zhen'er. The yamen soldiers said that it was a big deal to talk with silver, but the imperial forest army of the imperial court said that they would cut off their heads, and they had no chance to distinguish them. Ye Zhen'er said fearfully while helping Yuqing close the door of the village. Ye Xuan in the back stood in place in fear, as if he had been in a nightmare.

"Zhen'er, it's better to talk with silver in the future. They are all bottomless pits of dissatisfaction, and the court raises them to do things for the people, and we can't get used to them. Ye Xuan, what's wrong with you, don't be afraid. ”

"Yuqing Zhuang Master, is it a sin to really have the surname Yan?"

"Ye Xuan, what's wrong with you, there is a person surnamed Yan in your three courtyards?" Zhen'er asked suspiciously.

"No, absolutely not, it's just that in a villa as big as ours, although more than 1,000 people died, there were also 2,000 women, children and children. Yuqing Zhuang owner, do we really have to investigate carefully? ”

"Ye Xuan, now that our sisters are in the same boat, we can either move forward together, or we will both prosper and lose. If you have any concerns, just say it, and we sisters will figure it out together. Yuqing said sincerely, he was already sure that there must be someone surnamed Yan in the third courtyard, but he didn't know who it was.

"The owner of Yuqing Village, Zhen'er, I really don't hide that my father just took a concubine room not long before he died, and it is said that it is a side branch of the surname Yan in the imperial city. As a result, my father died in the imperial city this time, what should she do? ”

"Ye Xuan, it's just a concubine, for the sake of the overall situation of the villa and so many women, children and children, I can only hand her over if necessary." Zhen'er said hurriedly.

"Yes, you better go back and ask the person in charge about the backyard, hey, all the household registrations in our villa are registered, right?" Yuqing said vaguely, thinking that such concubines are generally not recorded in the family tree, and how to deal with it depends on the three courtyards themselves.

"Yuqing Zhuang Owner, the former Zhuang owner's wife said about this matter, this is not a delay due to the cremation, we have to take over a lot of things tomorrow."

"yes, forget all the serious things, oh, the ashes are almost all packed. The rest is poured into the earth of the villa, so that the spirits of these relatives in heaven will protect our villa, and the wind and rain will be smooth, and everything will be smooth, and every year will be a good harvest year. ”

"Yuqing girl said well, the carriage is ready, just sprinkle the remaining ashes in the villa." Lao Langzhong had been hiding by the gate just now, worried that these girls would not be able to cope with the Yamen soldiers and the later Imperial Forest Army, and as a result, whether it was the yamen lackeys who often oppressed the people, or the imperial city soldiers who held the power of life and death of the people, they were all sent away by the owner of Yuqing Village. In my heart, I already thought a little highly of Ye Yuqing, the young lady who lived in the villa, and I also respected her when she spoke.

"Grandpa Langzhong, you haven't gone back to rest so late, so I'll leave the rest to us."

"Okay, Yuqing girl, our Qi Villa is still a good person, except for a few people who are a little mean. My old man has been listening to what you just said, so don't say it casually in the future. This time, the old owner died in the palace, and he also led the team for our villa. The owner's wife is sorting out the household register, and the people who can be recorded in the family tree there are the main wife and the children and grandchildren of the grandmother. The side room and the concubine room are casual, but in order to block the mouth of the court, this time you have to make the registration of each household clear. We're just a clan villa, and most of the women who can't be on the stage are their names. The court does not want to see women, and women themselves do not want to see themselves. The old man pointed and said.

"Grandpa Langzhong, Ye Xuan understands."

"Hey, it looks like it's snowing in the spring. Yuqing Zhuang owner, this is really a good sign. Zhen'er looked at the big grin, her mind was more careful than Ye Xuan's, and she hurriedly changed the topic when she looked at the fluttering snowflakes.

"Yes, this snow came at a timely time, and I was worried that the ashes would be difficult to clean up and the dust that was raised quickly. Let's all slip away, send these ashes into the earth, and go back to sleep. ”

The gate of the villa finally fell silent, and the fluttering snowflakes quickly covered the traces just now. The hill where the corpses of more than a thousand people were stacked was gone, as wide and tidy as before. The pile of corpses left in the memory of the woman in the villa will exist for a long time, and may not be forgotten for the rest of her life.

Spring snow also covered part of the land belonging to Qi's Villa, and the ashes were buried, and when the spring flowers bloomed, the ashes would become rare nutrients and seep into the soil. The ashes of relatives will definitely bless their wives and children, and I hope that the people will not go hungry in the troubled times, and they will have a good life.

Ye Yuqing stepped on the snow and walked into the door of the sixth courtyard. When he saw the light on in his room, he remembered that he must have been waiting for him. If it is the same as Ye Jing and Ye Wen's situation, the soul of the grandmother has not yet stabilized. Three steps and two steps into his bedroom, sure enough, the grandmother was lying on the bed weakly, her face was pale and there was no trace of blood, and her eyes were dilated and there was no focus.

"Mama, you can't go far and wait for Yuqing."

"Miss, Mama still has something to explain to you clearly, Mama will not leave."

"Mama. Your soul is not yet stable, don't talk yet, and we'll talk when Yuqing is done. ”

"No need, it's unbelievable that Mama has been buried in the corpse pile for so long, and she can still come back to life, which is not a good thing for you in the future. Mama followed Zhuang Min to the palace this time, which could have been avoided. But apart from this opportunity, Mama could no longer find a chance. Come over and sit down and listen to your mother tell me about your father and your background. The grandmother greeted weakly. Yuqing also sat beside her, but it was more convenient to draw the soul.

"Mama, you speak slowly, Yuqing will help you wipe your face." Ye Yuqing said and took the jade paintbrush in his hand.

"Yuqing, your surname is not Qi, your aunt is my wife's niece. This was all many years ago, and you don't have to know it that well. Back then, I was kind to my brother, and your aunt adopted you in order to repay the kindness. Asking you to change your surname to Qi is also for your life experience, in order to better protect you. ”

"Do my aunt and father know about my background?"

"I don't know, I said that you are the child I picked up, and your aunt should have some points in her heart, but your aunt doesn't know at all. Hey, not to mention them, they're all dead. ”

"Is my father still alive?"

"To tell you the truth, Mama doesn't know, your father is the ninth son of the first emperor, and the eldest princess was born to the first queen. This also leads to your father being destined to be ostracized and jealous by the princes, because the heirs to the throne are the sons of the queens first. The first queen was poisoned to death soon after giving birth to your father, and your father lost the protection of his mother, and the eldest princess, who had reached the age of marriage, was also hastily married to a mediocre person. Your father has had a bad fate since he was a child, and although the emperor tried his best to protect him, your father was often injured. When your father was a few years old, he stayed away from the court to learn Wentao Wushu from a master, and at the age of twenty, he led troops to fight against foreign enemies, and he was the god of war of the Great Yan Kingdom. More than ten years ago, your father married your mother, a peasant girl from Biansai, and had your brother and sister. This is not allowed by the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom, in order to protect your brothers and sisters, your father killed the leaker, and at the same time asked our couple to secretly send you back to the imperial city. Unexpectedly, we were chased and killed, and my husband and I were scattered by the pursuers with a child. I took you back to the imperial city with great difficulty, but I found that things were wrong, the eldest princess was imprisoned in the princess's mansion, and the concubine was beheaded. The rebellion in the Imperial City began at that time, and it was rumored that your father died on the battlefield, and it was also rumored that your father was executed on the spot in order to protect your mother's village. What the hell is going on, thousands of miles away, maybe no one knows. I only know that your sixth uncle went to Biansai...... Here in the imperial city, your fifth uncle killed his father and occupied the throne for less than ten days, and your eighth uncle killed the fifth prince under the banner of the Qing monarch and became the new emperor.

Mama entered the palace this time to find out the news, because if my husband is still alive, he will definitely go to the imperial city to join the eldest princess. But Mama, I'm not from the Imperial City, and I took you to nowhere back then. My husband is a subordinate of your God of War father, and he also knows the eldest princess. For more than ten years, Mama has wanted to go to the imperial city more than once to find the eldest princess, but the imperial city is changing day by day, and your god of war father has been forgotten. The direction of the court is unclear, and Mama is a female streamer, so more than ten years have passed. Mama was tired at this point, closed her eyes and gasped for breath.

"Grandma, you can rest for a while, did you enter the palace to see the eldest princess this time?"

"Miss, see it, the eldest princess is even worse than us, the princess's mansion has also been sent to the emperor, and the eldest princess takes the people in the palace to clean the palace in the palace. It's just that no one is dead who are luckier than us. The people of our mountain village and other clans were treated as prey by day and night for those princes and princesses to kill and play. Your aunt and uncle protected me and died on the first night... In the end, almost all the people who entered the palace to work died. Mama was also shot with an arrow, and when I woke up, I was already at the gate of the villa. Miss, you are also the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom! ”

"Mama, are you feeling better, Yuqing will help you rub your heart again. Mama, Yuqing still wanted to be a princess when she chose the owner before, but she didn't expect me to be a real princess. My father is still the god of war, if my father is not dead, Yuqing still plans to call my father the emperor. Yuqing drew a circle in the place of Grandma's heart, jokingly.

"My young lady, how can you say such things casually. You can't let others know about your background now, you can't do this owner, just hide in the villa and see the direction of the court. You must not bring yourself to death. After the jade magic pen was drawn on the chest of the grandmother, the person was completely awake. sat up on the bed all of a sudden, looking at Ye Yuqing with a confused look in his eyes.

"Miss, Mama, I'm not dead."

"Mama, you were shot at an arrow in the palace and just passed out, and you will come to your senses when you return to the villa. I only crawled out last night when I was crushed by the pile of corpses.

"What day is it now, is it that after many days, Mama feels like she hasn't eaten for the rest of her life."

"Grandma, you have been lying in the pile of corpses at the gate of the villa for more than 20 days, Jing'er has boiled some porridge for Mama, Mama, you can eat a little quickly." At this moment, Ye Jing walked in with a bowl of porridge and said, and the stomach of the very cooperative grandmother rumbled loudly. The Yuqing sisters and brothers who listened laughed unkindly, and Mama herself laughed.

"Jing'er, Mama and I have been in a coma for more than 20 days, God bless, Mama can see you again. Jing'er, your father and mother died in the palace in order to protect your grandmother, and in the future, your grandmother will be your grandmother, and you will be your grandma's own grandson. The grandmother took the rice bowl, and tears were already flashing in her eyes.

"Grandma, we have grandma." Ye Jing also snuggled into the arms of the grandmother sensibly, and the three grandparents were in a good mood. It's almost dawn, and a new day begins.

"The owner of Yuqing Villa, this is the genealogy of the Qi Villa, there are originally more than 3,000 people in total, and less than 2,000 people are registered. Those side branches and concubines are not in the book, and generally the court comes to check what they see, and what they see is on the genealogy, and they don't need to show them the rest, and they don't care. The wife of the former owner opened the large study of the villa, pointed to a few registers and said, there is a stack of those who have branches and concubines next to it, and it is no less than the orthodox genealogy.

"Madam, I may not have to show it to the people of the court before, but this time it may not be. Ye Xuan, Zhen'er, let's look at the genealogy first, and then look at those unorthodox booklets. It is absolutely impossible to leave a single handle for the people of the imperial court. ”

"Yuqing Zhuang Master, just listen to you. This time, the court is really not necessarily easy to fool, but it is still solid, and it is because of one or two people who have affected our villa. ”

There are ten courtyards from Qi's Villa and sixteen courtyards from Shu. These alone made Ye Yuqing's three girls read it for a long time, and when they saw the one in the sixth courtyard, Ye Yuqing's name was recorded in the name of his aunt, and those who didn't know thought that Yuqing was the illegitimate daughter of his aunt. Yuqing's heart calmed down, and you can imagine how nervous Mama and Aunt Niang were back then, and they also did everything without leakage.

There is really no name of the concubine's room in the booklet of the three courtyards, only the master of the three courtyards, a wife and two side rooms. This also made Ye Xuan's heart feel at ease, and he only waited for the afternoon when he sorted out the concubine rooms and side branch booklets.

In the afternoon, the eyes of the three girls who looked directly at Ye's side branches and the outer spectrum were sore eyes, which was really a bad book. Fortunately, in the column of the concubine room in the third courtyard, only the name of the concubine is recorded, which is also the same as the other concubines in all the genealogy.

"Yuqing Zhuang Master, Zhen'er, my heart has finally let go. I went back last night and talked to my mother a few words, and my mother meant that it was really not good, so she asked the concubine to die by herself. ”

"Ye Xuan, maybe you are mistaken, there is no one surnamed Yan in the Third Courtyard at all." Zhen'er said with a clear pretense of confusion.

"Well, I must have been frightened by the Guards last night, my father is dead, and the rest of the three courtyards are full of widows and children. I hope that the court will not send anything down, otherwise how will the women, children and children in the villa live. Ye Xuan was also very good, and hurriedly changed his words.

"Ye Xuan, Zhen'er, I took a cursory look at the account book, how little money is in our villa."

"Yuqing Zhuang Lord, you look at the account book next to the expenditure to understand, since a few years ago, the silver apportioned in the palace has risen over the years, just before the owner of the village they entered the palace, the court also asked for 10,000 taels of silver repair fees, I thought that if we took the silver, we would be fine, but we also took the lives of more than 1,000 people. Alas! What kind of world? The former owner's wife sighed.
