Chapter 9 Crying and spitting out the truth Mother and daughter accompany each other in Spoon Lake

Last time, Xiao Ling hurriedly brought a handkerchief, and after the young lady took it and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she looked at the amiable Mrs. Huo, and suddenly broke free from her embrace and fell to her knees.

"Min'er, hurry up, what are you doing here?"

"Mother, my daughter is not filial."

"Why?" Mrs. Huo was at a loss.

"I have deceived you."

"Oh, let's hear it." Mrs. Huo finally understood.

"The daughter's real name is Li Wanting, and her father was originally a member of the court, and he was not on good terms with the official eunuch Yan Song. Not long ago, the eunuch Yan Song slandered his father for trying to rebel, Dongchang received a secret killing order, that night was dark and windy, Yan Song personally sat in the town and broke into the Li Mansion, they killed people when they saw them, and his father was shot by random arrows as soon as he came out of the study, and he died on the spot. The mother was terrified, she fled with her brother through the side door, who knew that the dog official Yan Hao sealed his throat with a sword, and she was pitiful to watch her brother die under the sword of the thief. In less than half a pillar of incense, the Li Mansion was full of blood and became a hell on earth. Zhao Min recounted the tragic past with tears in her eyes, and Mrs. Huo felt terrified when she heard it.

"Daughter, hurry up, you will always be my own daughter, no one will do anything to you here, otherwise I will fight with him."

Master Huo, who came to the guest house to find his wife, heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, and he walked in excitedly: "Your father is Li Haiping and Master Li." ”

"Dad, Li Haiping is my biological father." Hearing the voice of the adult, Li Wanting hurriedly tidied herself up, and she choked up and said.

"Master Li is a rare good official, I have met him twice, and I have great respect for his character, what a pity." Master Huo suddenly changed his words, "Hey, then how did you escape this massacre?" ”

An adult's words pulled Wanting into her memories again: "That afternoon, I happened to ask my best friend to go to the suburbs, because my best friend's family was kind to stay, after dinner, she asked the family to send me home, when I came home and saw the eunuch Yan Song is directing people to wash my house in blood, I saw my parents and younger brother falling in blood and tears, I was burning, I wanted to fight hard, but I thought that if I also died, no one would redress the grievances of the Li family." So, I escaped from my house and came to the canal, and I fell in the night rain exhausted......"

Listening to her daughter's painful memories, Mrs. Huo firmly took Wanting into her arms, her weak shoulders trembling.

"Don't cry, it's all over, your parents' spirits in heaven will protect you." Hough gently patted his goddaughter on the back.

"I have heard of the eunuchs in the palace for a long time, but I can't imagine that Lord Li will die so unexplained." Lord Huo gritted his teeth with hatred, and only hated his own people's soft-spoken words.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, Mrs. Huo watched her daughter slowly fall asleep in her arms, she couldn't bear to move, and motioned to Xiaoling to carry the young lady to the bed together.

But her hand was still tightly grasping Madame, and Mrs. Huo asked Xiaoling to inform the adult that she was with Miss tonight......

When she woke up the next day, Li Wanting found her wife lying beside her, and she remembered last night, and her heart was full of gratitude.

In the morning, Shanyang County, as always, Lord Huo sat in the side hall and read a book. Suddenly, the drums outside the hall were tight, and the adults were surprised, no one had been drumming for a long time, it seemed that something big was going to happen, what could it be? Naturally, there is no way to know.

The adults tidied up their clothes and walked to the lobby, and the officials stood on both sides, and the posture was extraordinary. The master sat on one side and looked out of the hall......

At this moment, Mrs. Huo came out of the back door with her daughter and maid, and they walked straight in the direction of Spoon Lake. The sun was poisonous, and there were puffs of dust on the ground, and the tall willow trees were screaming endlessly, making people feel even more irritable. Fortunately, the sky was in a state of place, a little windy, and the three of them used fans to block the sun and speed in the shade of the trees.

People are in a hurry in the streets, and occasionally there are private sedan chairs crossing the border, which must be a wealthy merchant in Shanyang County.

"Get out of the way." Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs, and an official sedan chair came over proudly, and the two square blocks in front of them held high the words "avoid" and "quiet", and it was not difficult to see from the two words "Caoyun" on a sign behind that the person who came was an official of Caoyun.

"Mother, there are officials in the Shanyang realm who are bigger than my father."

"Yes, this is big, and the officials of the Caoyun Governor are not small." Mrs. Huo, who was outspoken, pointed to the sedan chair in the past and said.

"Where's the Governor of Caoyun?" Miss got to the bottom of it.

"Opposite the Drum Tower."

"Where's the Drum Tower?" The young lady didn't understand it even more.

"Madam, I'll tell you about it." Xiao Ling couldn't help but interject when she saw that the young lady was confused the more she asked.

"You quick-talking girl, say it." Madame was not annoyed.

After Xiaoling's talk, Miss finally understood. Huai'an Town Huailou is located in the center of Shanyang County, is a symbolic building of the ancient city, commonly known as the Drum Tower by the locals.

It was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 300 years. Zhenhuai floor is a single building of brick and wood structure city building type, the lower floor is the pedestal, there is the city gate hole, the upper floor is the two-storey mountain building, the whole building is 18.5 meters high, 36 meters long from east to west, 26 meters wide from north to south, the shape is beautiful, thick and solid.

"Daughter, you're too late, otherwise I'll take you to the Drum Tower first." Mrs. Huo said lightly, "Will you talk about it next time?" ”

"Okay, mother."

Later, Li Wanting slowly learned that Huai'an is a famous historical and cultural city with a long history. In the Qin and Han dynasties, the northwest belonged to Huaiyin County, the southeast belonged to Sheyang County, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty built Shanyang County, which was also the seat of Shanyang County. Because Huai'an City is located in the south of Bochi Mountain, it is called Shanyang County. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Huai'an Road in the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Huai'an Mansion, and the government has been located in Shanyang County. Four guards were stationed (i.e., Huai'anwei, Dahewei, Kuanzhouwei, and Pizhouwei) Dahewei was stationed in Xincheng, and Kuanzhouwei and Pizhouwei moved elsewhere.

Huai'an Mansion is a treasure land, which is the center of a city, and has a pattern similar to that of an imperial city.

As one of the sources of the ancient culture of the Jianghuai River Basin, a famous historical and cultural city in China, the historical Huai'an City is full of businessmen and prosperous economy, and is the seat of the county, state, road and government, as well as an important political, economic and cultural center of the Jianghuai River Basin, and was once known as the "four major cities" along the canal together with Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou.

"There's a tower." Li Wanting exclaimed, the three of them came to Spoon Lake Park, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the simple and solemn Wentong Tower. It has been half a month since I came to the territory of Shanyang, but today I only witnessed the true face of Wentong Tower.

According to the park officials, the lady knew that Wentong Pagoda was formerly known as Zunsheng Tower, also known as Wenfeng Tower. On the bank of the canal in the northwest corner of the city, it was built in the second year of Daxing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (319), and was rebuilt many times.

Wentong Pagoda is an ancient building with Buddhist tradition, all are brick structure, no beams and columns, now it is a seven-story octagonal shape, six or seven two layers without tower gates. Internal cavities. Above the fifth floor is a dome-shaped brick roof, and the top is an octagonal caisson well. The tower is about 23 meters high, and the body of the tower is in a parabolic shape, which is more beautiful.

The three of them climbed the stairs, and the spiral staircase was uniquely designed. Standing on the top floor in the cool breeze, Li Wanting looked down through the window, and the blue waves of Spoon Lake were in full view, and she suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

For the first time since her father and mother left, she re-examined Shanyang from today's perspective, and the spoon lake in front of her can be described as small and exquisite, although she does not have the vastness of the North Sea, but she is crystal clear. As the hub of the north and the south, Spoon Lake is the culmination of the gardens of the north and the south.

Spoon Lake Park Scenic Area is a historical and cultural attraction in Shanyang, especially with pavilions, corridors, clear water, and many historical buildings and historic sites as a major feature, which is not inferior to Jiangnan Garden.

In the Spoon Lake Park, the Spoon Lake has clear water and blue sky, and the long bridge on the water is like a dream. The exquisite painting boat, the nine-song corridor, and the pavilions and pavilions, and the stele garden are contrasting with each other.

The towering Wentong Pagoda, the winding path of the lake embankment, as well as the drifting mother well and the stone statue of Wenwu, the Jin Tiande Bell, and the old site of the Great Compassion Pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake all make people forget to return.

After visiting the Wentong Tower, Mrs. Huo accompanied her daughter on the lake embankment path, and the amorous weeping willows stretched out their warm arms to welcome the arrival of tourists.

"Let's go, let's go boating."
