Chapter 251: Another Son
It took more than a quarter of an hour for Mrs. Zhu to raise her head and wipe away her tears with a handkerchief.
The man turned around and sat between Zhu Qian and Mrs. Zhu, who held his arm and was reluctant to let go.
The man was in his twenties, with a sturdy figure, his skin was as dark and dry as Qin Hai's, and there were shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
At first glance, it is that the sun has been exposed for a long time, and the sea water has been soaked more.
The facial features are very handsome, with double eyelids, a high nose bridge, and thin lips with sharp edges. A smile with neat white teeth, and two shallow dimples.
Even in a dream, Lilac's first reaction was to guess that this man was Mrs. Zhu's younger brother.
I don't know what he said, Mrs. Zhu burst into tears again, and Zhu Qian patted him on the shoulder.
They didn't move, and the image Lilac saw was always the faces of the three of them.
After watching it for a long time, Ding Xiang felt that the first word he spoke to Mrs. Zhu was like saying "mother". And the first word he said to Zhu Qian, his mouth was like saying "Dad".
How can it be!
After watching it for a long time, it will feel like they are a family of three. Moreover, his double eyelids are very similar to Zhu Qian. And Zhu Zhan is the inner double, and Mrs. Zhu's eyes are the inner double.
Could it be that he is their son?
looks a few years older than Zhu Zhan, it should be an older brother.
Zhu Qian said something again, and the man got up and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Qian and his wife.
The scene in front of her suddenly disappeared, and Lilac woke up automatically.
Lilac sat up and pushed Feifei, who was sleeping soundly, aside.
She folded her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and thought for a long time about the faces of the three men.
She felt that that person was very likely to be the son of Zhu Qian and Mrs. Zhu.
Zhu Qian and Mrs. Zhu said that they only have one son, Zhu Zhan, who is 21 years old this year. There was only one daughter, who died at the age of three.
Lilac heard Zhu Qian and his wife talk about their past.
After Aunt Wei came to Ding's house, she also talked about some of her past in the Zhu family.
It wasn't Lilac who asked, but she took the initiative to say it.
She can say that it means that the information is not confidential. To be more precise, Zhu Qian asked her to be a slave to Lilac, which means that she doesn't know what needs to be kept secret.
All the information adds up, that is, Zhu Qian's family used to live on an island called Shijiao Island, which is the closest to Hu County in the Great Li Dynasty.
The island is small and can only grow some fruits and rice. At the peak of its development, there were nearly 2,000 people on the island, with men working as pirates, smugglers, and fishermen, and women farming and raising children at home......
Later, Zhu Qian was recruited by Sun Hemu's father, and surrendered to Dali with some people.
There are still some people and big boats left on the rocky reef island, and the men are no longer sea bandits, and they are doing business, fishing, or smuggling.
I don't know if I am a pirate in private.
However, Zhu Qian once revealed that if he encountered danger in Dali and could not stay there, he could flee overseas, and Lilac was the first person to evacuate.
If he escapes again, it is unlikely that he will escape to the island of Rocky Reef, which is already known to the Dali people. Then Zhu Qian must have a more secret place, it is his last hole card, which is a top secret, and it must be guarded by the person he believes in the most.
It is likely that the person guarding the island is that person.
He put a son on the island, did he want to go to live there after the Su family was completely wiped out?
It's not like that. The daughter-in-law that Zhu Qian and his wife helped Zhu Zhan take a fancy to is Mi Hongmian, not to mention whether Mi Hongmian is willing to flee to the barren island, even the delicate body can't stand it.
What's more, if Mi Hongmian disappears, the Mi family will definitely make a big move, involving more forces to find them.
Moreover, looking at Zhu Zhan's gestures, his cultivation was cultivated in accordance with the standards of the Dali nobility.
And that person, at first glance, is a man born for the sea.
There is also Brother Hong, the daughter-in-law that Old Man Qin showed him is Ding Zhen, which means that it is not surprising that Brother Hong will also stay in Dali to live permanently.
Then there is another possibility, Zhu Zhan made two preparations.
The eldest son stayed overseas, and that branch flourished there
。 The youngest son stayed in Dali, and this branch lived permanently in Dali.
Modern civilization in previous lives was sometimes powerless in the face of natural disasters, let alone this era. If there is an accident on the eldest son's side, there is also the younger son.
If the younger son's branch suffers another catastrophe like the previous two times, there will still be the eldest son's branch.
As the guard of the Dong family, the Qin family will also be divided into two shares. The third son of the Qin family has never appeared, is he with that person?
Thinking of the two annihilations of the Dong family, it is not impossible for Zhu Qian to make this arrangement.
If this is the case, Zhu Qian's scheming is deeper than Lilac thought before. He began to plan this more than 20 years ago, and even many people around him kept it a secret.
In this way, one of the two sons will eventually have to give up one and face the separation of family affection.
People with a sea of blood and hatred are too tired to live.
I don't know where that island is, and this son didn't know how many years it took for this son to secretly come to Dali to see his parents, so Mrs. Zhu cried so sadly.
Lilac, who had figured it out, let out a sigh of relief.
His life experience is bizarre and tortuous enough, compared with their family, it is really a small thing.
Zhu Qian hated poisoning the first emperor.
This is also the current Dali Dynasty is unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful, and the emperor's grandfather is a Ming monarch. Otherwise, according to Zhu Qian's ability and hatred for the Dali Dynasty, it is not necessary to lead people to rebel.
Fortunately, Zhu Qian didn't have this thought. She has the blood of the Gao family and the blood of the Dong family, if the two families are opposed, she will not please both sides.
Lilac picked up the small jacket next to the bed and put it on, and went down to the ground to find a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to draw the portrait of the man.
He must be remembered and may be useful in the future.
Suddenly, Lilac saw a lump of blue and gold flesh wriggling next to the large basin containing the little fairy, and carrying a heavy shell.
Her eyes bulged out all of a sudden, and the little fairy actually crawled out on her own!
It takes a lot of effort.
She walked over and picked up the little fairy.
The flesh of the little fairy wriggled like a gorgeous flower clinging to Lilac's hand, and the shell was still hanging in the air.
The wriggling mollusk made Lilac a little uncomfortable, but seeing that it raised its head and stretched out its big mouth as if smiling at her, Lilac was not afraid again.
Everything has spirituality, let alone this beautiful fairy snail.
It must have been attracted by the aroma and climbed out of the big pot.
My own aroma is really powerful and charming.
The corners of Lilac's mouth were hooked, and the little fairy played for a while before putting it in the basin. It took a little effort to peel it off from your hands.
Lilac sat down at the table, studied the ink, and drew the man with a quill pen.
She suddenly realized that this man was a bit like Gu Moumou, a star in her previous life.
Outside, firecrackers suddenly rang out, and people could be faintly heard cheering. There are not only Ding Lichun's brothers, but also people from other people's families.
Firecrackers rang out in every yard, deafening.
It's time for the New Year.
The time came to the twenty-seventh year of Qingguan.
