Chapter 470 Secret (two chapters in one)
After saying that, they all comforted each other and left.
Zhou Hong was stunned and followed. When he was going downstairs, he was hitting the guy who took them upstairs. Zhou Hong took out a ingot of silver and stuffed it to the guy, and then walked quickly.
When Zhou Hong was about to arrive in the small yard, he noticed something was wrong. There were at least seven or eight people, either far or near, under a tree, on the side of the road, squatting, or standing.
Zhou Hong could tell at a glance that these people were not ordinary passers-by, but they were comforting people.
Just as he was talking to Qi Wei in the teahouse, Qi Wei's two guards had mobilized their men and surrounded the yard.
Zhou Hong's head buzzed, Qi Wei said to his uncle, and he really regarded Qi Wei as his younger brother-in-law. In addition to being his brother-in-law, Qi Wei was also the first-class title of the Great Wei Dynasty, and was the Duke of Ding, who had commanded thousands of troops!
Zhou Hong rushed into the gate and saw Qi Wei standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, leisurely and contented.
There was no light in the yard, it was pitch black, and there were two people standing in the corridor. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they could tell that they were two women, probably Mrs. Ji and Winter Sweet.
When he walked into the yard, Zhou Hong's arrogance was half lowered. He walked to Qi Fu, lowered his voice and said, "What are you going to do?"
Qi Wei said coldly: "Take them away."
"No!" Zhou Hong raised his voice, but immediately softened his tone and whispered, "A Ruan is sick and can't stand the stimulation, this will scare her. Besides, they are just three women, so you don't want to call so many people over."
Qi Wei looked at him. In the night, Qi Wei's eyes were like the cold moon falling into the cold pond. He didn't speak, but it made people shudder.
Looking at each other, Zhou Hong suddenly remembered that many years ago, when his mother handed him and his sisters to Deputy General Li, he pulled his mother's sleeve and begged hard: "Mom, let's go with us with dad."
The mother spread his fingers and said, "Zhou Wenbi is from our Zhou family. His rebellion is a fact, and the two mutinies under your father's command are also facts. Your father's responsibility is unstoppable, so we cannot leave."
"But the Zhou family is not the only one, my father, and Zhou Wenbi is also a member of the Zhou family." He said crying.
The always gentle mother suddenly became stern. She said, "It's not just our family of five in the Zhou family, but also your grandfathers who are far away in the capital, and the merits that your ancestors have won with their blood. So your father and I cannot leave. Only when we stay can you survive. The ancestors of the Zhou family will not be humiliated by it!"
In fact, the three brothers and sisters really survived. Emperor Gaozong and his descendants did not eradicate the Zhou family. Even the title of Marquis Anyuan was taken back on the pretext that no one attacked the title, rather than taking the title.
The royal family gave the Zhou family the last decency.
The father and mother took on all the blame, saved the rest of the Zhou family, and saved the names of the ancestors of the Zhou family during their lifetimes.
Zhou Hong's strength suddenly disappeared. He sighed and comforted Qi, "If you want to take it, take it away. She knows everything. If you are not at ease with Ah Ruan, let your people stay here, and I will stay there too."
Qi Wei looked at him deeply, waved his hand, and asked Xu Kun and Wang Yuan to take Ji Pozi to return to the Duke's Mansion together.
In the Duke's Mansion, Zhou Wanqian sent Xiaoman back. Zhou Xiaobai didn't want to come to the Duke's Mansion, so he had already gone to the Duke's Mansion.
Li Qiniang saw that it was Zhou Wanqian who sent Xiaoman back, and was a little surprised. Xiaoman knew that this matter could not be hidden from his mother today, so she told her what she knew.
"My cousin and Dabai went to the small yard where my aunt lived and started fighting with the people around her. Dad and I didn't know that it was my aunt's home. I thought something happened to my cousin and Dabai, so I broke in. Unexpectedly, it caused my aunt to have an attack. Dad asked me to send me to Qianweiju. Later, I heard that my uncle had also gone, and my uncle talked with my father, so my cousin sent me back."
Li Qiniang was surprised and vaguely felt that something must be done. Otherwise, with a comforting personality, when she saw that Niang Ruan had an attack, she would definitely ask Dr. Zhu to invite her, and would not let all the children go away at this time, but he would stay to talk to her elder brother.
These days, Yan Xuehuai was detained in the Duke's mansion, called "Embroidered Dowry". In fact, the dowry was originally embroidered by the embroiderer. The wedding day was getting closer and closer. The Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, and the palace people were coming to the mansion every few days. Li Qiniang stared at her very tightly. Yan Xuehuai couldn't do anything to go back to Qingping Lane.
Chai Yan sent a storyteller maid named Xiaolier, who was only nine years old. Not only could tell, but she also knew how to write and sang a few small plays. Therefore, at this moment, Yan Xuehuai was in the house and listened to Xiaolier recite a book for her.
Zhou Wanqian came to Haitangyuan with a quick journey. When he saw Xiaolier, he waved his hand and said, "Go outside to play, I'll bring you candy next time."
Yan Xuehuai nodded, Xiaolier smiled and took the book, bowed, and then stepped out.
Zhou Wanqian lay on the bed with his back on the sky and said to Yan Xuehuai: "I saw my mother."
"Ah? My uncle asked you to go?" Yan Xuehuai asked curiously.
Zhou Wanqian said what happened today and said aggrievedly: "My mother didn't even look at us. I don't blame her if she is sick, but the mothers around her are just like guarding against us. Xiaobai and I want to take a step forward, but she doesn't let her."
Yan Xuehuai blinked her eyes and told her intuition that there must be some inside story today.
It’s just that this inside story, Zhou Da Siss must not know.
Qi Wei must have known it, but Yan Xuehuai couldn't guarantee that Qi Wei would tell her.
Fortunately, Xiaoman was also present, and that little thing was more intelligent than a monkey, so he might have seen something.
Yan Xuehuai was about to persuade Zhou Wanqian first, but when he turned around, he saw Zhou Wanqian lying on her bed and was already asleep.
Yan Xuehuai opened her mouth, others' hearts are higher than the sky, but Zhou Da Fool is bigger than the sky. The bigger the universe is, Zhou Da Fool is more than the sky.
Yan Xuehuai took off Zhou Wanqian's shoes, pulled a quilt to cover her, and walked out quietly.
She went to find Xiaoman, and at this time, Xiaoman must be in the study.
Sure enough, Xiaoman was repairing ancient books. His life was very regular. Every day after finishing his homework, he had to spend an hour to repair ancient books, and it was unmoved.
Yan Xuehuai sat opposite him with a big golden sword. Xiaoman looked at her and his eyes returned to the book being repaired.
"Dad should know his aunt, and the mother around him also knows her."
Yan Xuehuai sighed that it is so comfortable to deal with smart people. You don’t have to ask, he will know your purpose when he looks at you.
"At least half of the people in the capital know the Duke." Yan Xuehuai said.
"The old man called Dad the Prince of Dingguo." Xiaoman still did not look up.
Yan Xuehuai was stunned, Prince Dingguo?
Qi Wei's time to promote the title was not short, unless he knew him when he was young, but had not seen him for many years. When he saw him, he suddenly rushed out and said his previous title.
"Have the Duke of the State said his aunt's name?" Yan Xuehuai asked.
Xiaoman finally gave up the broken book in front of him and focused on answering Yan Xuehuai's questions.
"The woman covered my aunt's face with a veil, and then helped her into the house. My father asked my cousin, Dabai and I to follow me, but the woman covered my aunt with a quilt and did not allow us to get close. I came out and told my father about this. I thought my father didn't want to get me in, so he asked Xu Kun to take me out. Later I asked Dabai, and after I left, the woman didn't let her cousin and Dabai see her aunt's appearance, and Dabai was so angry that she cried."
Yan Xuehuai narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Xiaoman: "Since that the woman called the Duke of the Kingdom of Ding, when she first met the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom
"No more than sixteen years old, the Duke of the State inherited the title at the age of sixteen." Xiaoman said.
Yan Xuehuai asked again: "That happened more than 20 years ago. How old is my aunt at that time?"
"It should be only in my teenage years old." Xiaoman said.
"My aunt should be a lady of a noble family, a teenage prince in the Duke's Mansion. How many opportunities can I see a lady of a noble family who is raised in the deep boudoir?" Yan Xuehuai said.
Xiaoman shook his head: "These days, the wives who come to visit the mansion will also bring their daughters here, but I have never seen any of them. I am only ten years old."
Men and women are seven years old, and the young master of ten can no longer see the lady who is a lady in the boudoir, let alone at that time, Qi Wei's age should be a few years older than Xiaoman now.
"My uncle said that my aunt may be from Pingcheng, so I have been thinking about which daughter in Pingcheng has been lost for many years but no one knows it. When we were in Pingcheng, the people of Pingcheng liked to inquire about the rumors about wealthy families. They even knew about the charity of King Fu's son raising a young man. It is said that it was reported by the servants of the Fu Palace. If a lady from a family was lost, even if she could hide it from outsiders, she could not hide it from the servants at home. If there were too many servants at home, there were always a few people with long tongues to spread this matter, but we seem to have never heard of it."
Xiaoman continued to shake his head: "I haven't heard of it anyway."
He had never heard of it, it was worth it. He didn't have much time to be a commoner when he was in Pingcheng.
Yan Xuehuai had never heard of her. She was different from Xiaoman. She wandered around Huichang Street all day long. The big girls and wives on the street could talk to her. She even knew that Prince Fu loved to drink human breasts.
"I have seen him and the Prince of Dingguo, and may be very familiar with him. After more than twenty years of more than a year, I can still recognize him at a glance. He may be from Pingcheng. He has never heard of him for many years, but there is no gossip and no family members have ever found him. By the way, I seem to remember that my mother said that she heard from her uncle that her aunt was killed by her sister, so the family has at least two daughters. The missing one is the eldest daughter, and there is at least one daughter in the family..."
Xiaoman was just listening to it, and suddenly he couldn't hear Yan Xuehuai's voice. He was a little surprised, but he saw that his sister's mouth was wide open, enough to stuff an egg into it!
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoman was a little nervous. His sister has never been a person who is easy to make a fuss.
But his sister's appearance can no longer be described as a fuss. If this wasn't in the house, her sister would have to be full of her tail. Xiaoman might think that his sister was struck by lightning.
Yan Xuehuai opened her mouth wide, her eyes were blurred, and Xiaoman stretched out a finger and shook it in front of her.
Shake it for a while, no response.
I shook it twice, but there was still no response.
After shaking to the third time, Yan Xuehuai waved his hand and patted his fingers: "Little brat, do you think I am a fool?"
"Sister, are you okay?" Xiaoman asked with concern.
Yan Xuehuai touched her face, looked down at her limbs, but fortunately, she was still intact.
"I seem to have discovered a big secret. Will I be silenced? God, save me!"
Yan Xuehuai looked at the sky in despair. Why is she so smart? Isn’t it good to be a happy fool?
Thunder rolls in the sky!
Xiaoman stood up and walked out, Yan Xuehuai called him: "Where are you going?"
Xiaoman: "I'm still young, I don't want to be silenced, I want to stay away from you."
Yan Xuehuai was shocked, jumped up and grabbed him, slid back to the chair, looked at him from a high place, grinning again and again: "Little friend, sister, I have a secret to share with you."
......
Half an hour later, Xiaoman's servant Hu Ying ran in and said, "The Duke of China is back. Xiaode saw Guard Xu and Guard Wang escorting an old lady into the yard behind the martial arts field."
Hu Ying is ten years old this year and is the eldest grandson of Old Man Yang.
Old Man Yang’s two grandsons are now in Xiaoman’s yard. The eldest grandson is named Huying and the second grandson is named Songyan.
Yan Xuehuai looked at Xiaoman: "Have you been to the yard behind the martial arts field? What are you doing?"
As a cheap lady from the Duke's Mansion, it's a pity, but Yan Xuehuai has never even been to the front yard.
Xiaoman said, "That's where the guards usually stay."
Yan Xuehuai nodded, Xiaoman asked Hu Ying to report again, and the siblings closed the door and stared at him: "That woman must be Mrs. Ji next to her aunt. It seems that she gave her uncle face and did not bring her back."
Xiaoman was a little confused and asked, "Will our family be executed?"
"You don't know, but I don't know." Yan Xuehuai said angrily.
Xiaoman thought for a while and said with certainty: "This kind of thing will not be made public even if the whole family kills it. It will definitely be done quietly."
Yan Xuehuai snorted and said, "You are thinking too simply. Now this matter is no longer a matter of one or two, but a matter between two countries. It is about the two countries. What do you think will happen?"
Xiaoman flattened his mouth. Why is it so difficult for him to be a child?
"If we really guessed it right, then this matter would be too big. I heard that the man was already a concubine and had a prince."
Xiaoman sniffed and looked at Yan Xuehuai pitifully.
Yan Xuehuai had a headache even more, and she said to Xiaoman: "If our mother knew that the cinnabar mole of the prince was back and she became her sister-in-law, what should we do if we said, what should we do?"
"Sister, what is a cinnabar mole?" Xiaoman was puzzled. At this time, what does cinnabar mole mean?
Yan Xuehuai paused and couldn't think of any explanation for it for a moment, so he had to say: "It's the blood of the mosquitoes, the blood left after slapping the mosquitoes to death."
