He Ran faced Zhong Yi directly, looked at the changes in Zhong Yi's eyes, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

She was looking at Zhongyi, and Zhongyi was also looking at her, and the smile that flashed in her eyes did not escape Zhongyi's eyes.

He Ran was laughing at him?

No, it wasn't him who He Ran was laughing at, but Zhou Chi!

Well, this time Zhong felt even more uncomfortable.

He Ran is just a teenage girl, she has never seen Zhou Chi, and she has not experienced the eventful years of the year.

She was raised by that person, and all her likes and dislikes and ridicules for Zhou Chi came from that person.

Zhongyi's heart seems to have been stuffed with countless tribulus terrestris, blocking his heart and piercing his heart.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, He Ran reminded: "Envoy Zhong? ”

Zhong Yi was expressionless: "Hmm." ”

He Ran: "Envoy Zhong should take a good look at why Zhou Ying appeared at this juncture." ”

Zhongyi: "Not a coincidence? ”

He Ran: "The tavern wants to be sold, but the first thing to sell is the floor tanks for winemaking, and these ground tanks happened to be bought by Jinghonglou, and when Zuo Xiaoai looked for it, he saw Yue Ying."

Yue Ying has lived in Zhending for twenty years, and she has not let Jinghonglou find her trace for twenty years, but now, she crashed into Jinghonglou, and what she saw directly was Zuo Xiaoai.

Even if she went to the black earth or white clouds that day, you wouldn't know who she was.

A coincidence is a coincidence, a bunch of coincidences come together, Zhong Envoy, do you think this is still a coincidence? ”

Zhong Yi hummed again, drank the wine in the cup, and got up to say goodbye.

He Ran watched him leave and picked up his wine glass.

Zhong Xiang walked out of the office, did not ride a horse, and walked alone on the street in the night.

The squire led his horse and followed far behind.

Zhong Yi remembered a lot of things, and also remembered the woman many years ago.

Before that, Zhou Chi had never seen Zhou Ying, but when Zhou Chi saw the woman, he had an intuition, that is, Zhou Ying.

Mrs. Di and several other ladies of the family were all golden, and they unanimously said that the woman was not Zhou Ying, and that she was a liar.

But Zhou Chi saw the shadow of the little aunt from the woman's face.

My little aunt was my father's sister and died before we got married.

Although the little aunt has only lived for more than ten years, Mrs. Di, who is the eldest sister-in-law, and those Zhou ladies must have seen her, and they also remember her appearance, Zhou Chi can see that the woman looks like a little aunt, and it is impossible for Mrs. Di not to see it.

The matter of niece Aunt Xiao has always existed.

This woman was also the only one among the many "Zhou Ying" at that time who looked like the Zhou family.

However, everyone said that she was not Zhou Ying, including Zhou Chi himself.

Zhong Yi looked up and found himself standing at the mouth of the alley where the tavern was.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

suddenly remembered the mockery in He Ran's eyes.

Unexpectedly, that person actually told He Ran about this, in the eyes of their master and apprentice, the high-ranking Emperor Taizu was just a filthy scum who didn't even dare to recognize his own sister.

So, the man has been disappointed in him since then?

The moonlight is like water, and at the mouth of the deserted alley, Zhong Yi slowly squatted down.

No one knew that the great Emperor Taizu, after the woman who was also a teacher and sister left, suddenly found that he was really alone.

She broke off with his grace, it was a lot of things, and it added up a lot, Min Lanen's revenge was just worse, and finally broke out in the survival of the He family's army, and she completely disbanded the He family's army.

She said that from now on, there will be no more He family army in the world.

She never looked back, and walked away without any nostalgia.

Tears dripped on the boots, and rolled from the boots onto the bluestone slabs, and the invisible light disappeared in an instant.

Zhong Yi seemed to see the little Zhou Chi practicing boxing under the scorching sun, sweat sprinkled on the bluestone slab, the sun, sweat, the child's smiling face, and the girl's eyes were so dazzling.

The girl said that it was called military boxing, and she said that she began to practice it when she was five or six years old, and she said that when she was his age, she would have been invincible all over the compound.

She said: "Xiao Chizi, you have no talent in martial arts, and your roots and bones are average, forget it, practice and play, you should strengthen your body." ”

Zhong Yi buried his face in the crook of his arm.

The man didn't know that the reason why Xiao Chizi would work hard to practice martial arts was only because Xiao Chizi wanted to protect her.

Zhong smiled bitterly, but fortunately the man didn't know, otherwise he would have laughed at him even more.

Because Xiao Chizi has never protected her in his life, not once.

Zhong Yi stood up, and the moonlight stretched his shadow long, making it even more lonely.

Zhong Yi stretched out his hand and waved, and a brocade guard came out of the shadows and ran in front of him.

"Send someone to fence this place." Zhong Yi said.

The next day, He Ran heard that Zhong Yi had arrested someone.

Zuo Xiaoai came again, this time empty-handed, and as soon as he entered the door, he was ruthlessly despised by Xiaoba.

"Let the eighth master take a look, whose poor relatives have come to fight the autumn breeze?"

Zuo Xiao Aibai glanced at it: "That's right, it's really a poor relative, so poor that you have to catch birds and go to the pot." ”

Hachi exclaimed: "Cruel, despicable and shameless!" ”

Far away, He Ran heard Xiaoba's exaggerated scream, and when Zuo Xiaoai came in, He Ran asked, "Received the news?" ”

Zuo Xiaoai looked solemn: "How can there be news that Jinghonglou can't receive, I'm just strange, why do I want to let Zhongyi come in, that Zhongyi, a dead face, seems to have come out of the grave, whether that person is her or not, it's not easy to blame it for so many years, that Zhongyi, alas, I heard it, ruthless." ”

Obviously, Zuo Xiaoai was worried about being tortured, and Yue Ying, the old lady, couldn't bear it.

He Ran smiled: "I like to be measured." ”

In this regard, He Ran still has confidence in Zhongyi.

And Zhong Yi did not disappoint He Ran, he did not punish Yue Ying.

I like to let people take Yue Ying to Jinyiwei's temporary yamen in Zhending.

He didn't interrogate, he just had a piano brought in.

"Play a song, you once said that you are very talented at the piano."

Yue Ying looked at him in astonishment, and only after a long time did he raise his hand, his fingers touching the strings and making a thud.

Yue Ying smiled bitterly: "I haven't touched the piano for more than fifty years, I'm rusty, don't blame me." ”

The sound of the piano slowly flowed out from under her fingers, Zhong closed her eyes, Yue Ying did not lie, she was indeed rusty, but it was not that she would not, she had studied the piano and practiced it by heart.

After a song, the room is silent.

After a long time, Yue Ying said: "More than fifty years ago, I saw the grandmother of Jinghong Building, when she was still a little girl.

I remember her well because of envy.

I was the same age as her, fifteen years old.

I was beaten to death, and it was she who invited He Da to save my life.

I am grateful to her and envy her even more.

I envy her for being protected, envy her simple background, and envy her ability to express all her joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

In fact, at that moment, I was already dead.

That place and that identity don't belong to me, even if I am recognized, I can't live like Xiao Ai girl, my experiences in the flower building will always follow me, like a mountain, and finally crush me to death. ”

Zhong Yi looked at him, his eyes like an arrow.

"So you chose to ask for money?"

Yue Ying smiled: "I chose to exchange money, using Zhou Ying's identity for money." ”

"Do you know you're going to succeed?" ”

Yue Ying: "Yes, I know, in fact, I also succeeded, Taizu agreed, and he was generous, and that money was enough for me to use for three lifetimes." ”

There was silence again, outside the window, I don't know when it rained, I wanted to stretch out my hand, only to find that there were still snow particles in the rain.

"I heard that you are going back to Wanchun County? Why not wait until the beginning of spring next year? ”

Yue Ying smiled: "I'm dying, I want to see the person I care about before I die." ”

"Who is it?" Zhong Yi asked.

Yue Ying's eyes lit up: "My daughter." ”

Zhong Yi has already checked, Yue Ying's daughter was married twenty years ago, and when the neighbor asked, she said that she was married to Wanchun County, and said that she had been married since childhood.

That makes sense.

From Zhending to Wanchun, it was only three months ago that it was unimpeded, and before that, there were many checkpoints on the road, and ordinary people could not cross the border without passes, which were issued by the army, and the local yamen had no right to issue them.

After years of war, the people were cautious, so although as early as three months ago, He Ran had ordered that many places cancel their passes and resume smooth travel, but only recently began to try to go to other places to visit relatives to do business.

Therefore, it makes sense for Yue Ying to say this.

Zhong Yi bowed his head: "From Zhending to Wanchun, the road is far away, I will send someone to send you." ”

Yue Ying got up and saluted solemnly: "The folk woman has thanked your lord." ”

Zhong Yi's face didn't show joy or anger, and he asked coldly, "What is your husband's name?" Where are the people, and how did you know each other? ”

Yue Ying was slightly stunned, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, and then said, "I don't have a husband, and I have never married." ”

"Then your daughter" Zhong Yi has thought of two possibilities, one is an adopted daughter, and the other is .

He didn't want to think deeply, but Yue Ying had already said it himself.

"I was humiliated, and it was no one else who insulted me, it was the guards sent by Taizu to escort me and protect me.

Doesn't Lord Zhong know about my past, isn't he curious about where those guards have gone? ”

Zhong Yi really didn't think about those guards, in his opinion, those guards were loyal to Zhou Chi, and they would follow Zhou Ying and protect her until she died.

Yue Ying laughed, looking crazy: "I used Zhou Ying's identity to exchange a lot of money, and that money is enough for me to use for three lifetimes, but unfortunately, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is only three years, and there are only five of the ten guards left!"

No, they're not people, they're brutes!

They bullied me, robbed me of my money, sold me to the mines, I became a mine slave, a slave girl!

My lord, do you know what the slave girls in the mine do?

You got it, didn't you?

Hahaha, I am, I am!

I suffered in the mine for two whole years, and I got pregnant!

There is a small leader in the mine, and he can be a small leader all thanks to his father-in-law and uncle, and his wife is infertile, and he wants to have a son, but because of his father-in-law and uncle, he does not dare.

So I lied to him and said I was pregnant with his child.

Hahaha, I'm not only bad, but also cheap!

Actually, I don't know who that kid belongs to, I don't know!

But he believed, he really believed.

He quietly sent me out of the mine.

I relied on the ten taels of silver he gave me, and I trekked all the way, and when I was about to reach Wanchun, I was rescued by a beggar.

He didn't dislike me and arranged a place for me to live, and then I gave birth to a daughter, and he had to feed our mother. ”

It's like falling into an ice cave!

He never dreamed that things would turn out like this.

He looked at Yue Ying, who was crying and laughing, in a daze, and it took a while to come to his senses: "That beggar."

Yue Ying looked at him, as if he had seen the depths of his heart.

"What? Worried that I will marry a beggar and bring shame on Taizu after his death? Don't worry, I want to marry, but people didn't marry me, I wanted to give him a child out of gratitude to him, but he didn't agree.

He is a great benevolent, a benefactor of our mother and daughter, and a great hero who stands up to the sky! ”

Zhong Yi was said to have a hot face, he really didn't think so, but Zhou Chi might be.

"And then?" Zhong Yi asked in a deep voice.

Yue Ying wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "When my daughter was one year old, he left, and since then, I have never seen him again, but every year he will ask people to send me twenty taels of silver, and then I can support my daughter by doing embroidery, so I refused to ask for his silver again, so he didn't send it again." ”

Zhong Yi asked, "Then why did you come to Zhending?" And what's going on with your daughter's family? ”

Yue Ying sighed: "It's all my fault." In those years, I didn't dare to show my face, or even go out, I was afraid that those bastards would recognize me and arrest me, so I usually don't go anywhere.

I asked my neighbor's sister-in-law to help me buy groceries and gave her a little extra money each time, so I didn't feel inconvenient in my life.

There is an embroidery village very close to my house, only one street away, and when my daughter is six years old, she will help me send the embroidery work to the embroidery village, and then get the salary back.

I want to save a dowry for my daughter with the money I earn from embroidery, and I look forward to the day when I can watch my daughter get married without having to live like me.

But I never imagined that when my daughter was eight years old, she went out and never came back.

I searched all over Wanchun County, but I couldn't find her, I reported to the official, and the yamen asked me to go home and wait for news, but I waited for seven days, seven days, and there was still no news at all.

In desperation, I sent a letter to the good man, asking him to help me find my daughter.

But this search lasted for ten years, and suddenly one day a good man sent someone to look for me, saying that my daughter had been found.

But we can't stay in Jindi, and we can't stay in Wanchun County either.

I didn't think much about it, as long as I could find my daughter, I could go anywhere.

The good man sent me to Zhending, and I was taken to a ruined temple on the way to see my daughter, who had grown up, but she had a big belly, eight months old.

The daughter gave birth to a girl in the ruined temple, less than a month, black and thin.

I asked her about these years, and she told me that after she was abducted, she first sold her to a family Chongxi as a child bride, but then the family's son died, and when she was fifteen years old, the family got into a lawsuit and urgently needed money to pay off, so she married her as an adopted daughter in exchange for a bride price. ”

Zhou Ying's story is very important, look at the back to know
