A letter from nearly twenty years ago. Although the fine paper has turned yellow, the handwriting on it is still very clear.
Mr. Xueyang is indeed worthy of being a great scholar of the generation. Although this letter was written when he was old and sick, his handwriting is elegant and elegant, with a somewhat free and elegant style. Xie Yan was taught by a great scholar in the court since he was a child.
His calligraphy is also very good, but he is still a bit inferior to Mr. Xueyang.
Mr. Xueyang clearly explained his life experience in the letter. His biological mother was indeed the saint from the Hongshan tribe in southern Xinjiang. By trusting such an important matter to an outsider, it can be seen that Mr. Xueyang had deep feelings for Su.
Taifu's trust, or trust in Taifu Su's character.
The life experience of Mr. Xueyang is actually a somewhat clichéd story. Back then, the saint from southern Xinjiang happened to meet the young head of the Xiao family who was traveling to southern Xinjiang. The two people who did not know each other’s identities could be regarded as falling in love at first sight. Women from southern Xinjiang have always been
Passionate and passionate, the two quickly fell in love, and finally the Saint of Southern Xinjiang left Southern Xinjiang for the Central Plains with her sweetheart.
As for her identity, it is not difficult to guess. At that time, the Huang family in Luohe was discussing marriage with the Xiao family. Although the head of the family was young, he was still the head of the family. After some exchange of interests, the saint of southern Xinjiang replaced a member of the Huang family.
The identity of the legitimate daughter who died young has since become the daughter of the Huang family.
The Hongshan tribe was originally of Central Plains origin, and the saintly girl lived in seclusion before and after marriage. Others only thought that this girl from a noble family was weak and disliked being around people, so they didn't think much of it. Later, the saintly girl gave birth to Mr. Xueyang.
, Mr. Xueyang became famous at a young age and is a genius that has never been produced in the Xiao family for several generations.
Perhaps his father also knew that his wife's identity was inappropriate, so he handed over the position of head of the family to his son early, and retired to the Xiao family's old house with his wife. The old family head died of illness just after he turned fifty, and soon after, Saint
The daughter also died of illness, and after the head of the Huang family and his wife, who were the only ones who knew about it, died, no one in the world knew that the Xiao family had ever had a foreign matron.
In fact, the Huang family doesn't know that the appearance of the saint in southern Xinjiang is not much different from that of the people in the Central Plains. Both Dongling and Dasheng are vast and rich in resources, and the appearance of people in many places is slightly different. The reason why the Huang family is so straightforward
They agreed because they thought the girl was just a commoner woman of low origin. If they knew she was from southern Xinjiang, the Huang family would probably not agree.
Mr. Xueyang explained his life experience in the letter, and then wrote that his mother told him before she died about her identity and the trouble she might bring to the Xiao family in the future. The lady told him that after she passed away,
Destroy the jade pendant and prevent anyone from knowing his life experience.
But Mr. Xueyang has his own opinion. His mother abandoned the tribe and married into the Xiao family with a token of the saint from southern Xinjiang. People from southern Xinjiang may not come to her door. If one day people from southern Xinjiang come to her door,
But they learned that the Xiao family destroyed the token, which was a disaster for the Xiao family.
Even if someone hates the Xiao family for this and uses this incident to criticize the Xiao family, the Xiao family, which has no trump card, will have no choice but to be ravaged by others.
Mr. Xueyang's guess was not wrong. Someone came to him shortly after his mother passed away. The other party had no substantial evidence. After all, more than thirty years had passed and the saint was dead. But those people took him away.
Mr. Xueyang’s youngest sister was found, and the bloodline was tested in a unique way in southern Xinjiang. When Mr. Xueyang found the person, the little girl’s blood was almost drained. The girl was injured and frightened and died before she was sixteen.
Mr. Xueyang also learned from his sister that once they got the jade pendant, they planned to bring all the unmarried legitimate daughters of the Xiao family back to southern Xinjiang and kill all the men. It was the time when Mr. Xueyang was at his peak, and he
My younger sister, who had been raised since childhood, had suffered so much at the hands of those people, and Mr. Xueyang was naturally not polite. The Xiao family was extremely powerful in Yangxin, and the southern Xinjiang people suffered heavy losses in several battles and had to retreat.
Many years later, shortly before Mr. Xueyang passed away, someone came to the Xiao family again. This time they asked Mr. Xueyang to hand over the jade pendant and his two granddaughters, aged five and seven respectively. Mr. Xiao said those people
They left after visiting. In fact, this is not correct. Those people did not leave Yangxin, they were left in Yangxin forever.
This letter was written after this incident occurred.
Perhaps it was because he suffered heavy losses from the Xiao family several times in a row, and the Xiao family enjoyed peace for many years afterwards.
Before Mr. Xueyang died, he still kept the token and told the descendants of the Xiao family that if people from southern Xinjiang stopped visiting, he would try to return the jade pendant to southern Xinjiang in thirty years, and the Xiao family would never have anything to do with southern Xinjiang again.
After all, after a few generations, the blood relationship between the Xiao family and Southern Xinjiang has become very thin.
If the people of Southern Xinjiang still intend to force them, and the Xiao family still needs to sacrifice their unmarried women, the head of the Xiao family will hand over the jade pendant and all the information related to Southern Xinjiang collected by Mr. Xueyang to the court in exchange for the court's protection of the Xiao family.
.
Mr. Xueyang did not tell his son these things, but told his eldest grandson, Xiao Chan.
After Xie Yan finished reading the letter, he was speechless for a long time.
After thinking for a moment, he placed the letter in front of Taifu Su. Taifu Su hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and read it again. After reading the letter, both of them were speechless for a long time.
When the people from Southern Xinjiang came to the Xiao family, it was still the last year of Dongling, so it naturally had nothing to do with the Xie family. Although it had been ten years since the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty when Mr. Xueyang died of illness, the court was still busy with internal and external wars, so there was no time left.
Taking into account the private affairs of these local aristocratic families?
In the impression of the world, Mr. Xueyang is a great Confucian with great talents all over the world, and a talented man with an immortal spirit. Who would have thought that secretly he has been fighting with the people of southern Xinjiang for decades without alerting anyone?
Long?
Taifu Su sighed and said: "It is indeed unbelievable that the direct descendants of the Xiao family have the blood of Southern Xinjiang, but...after all, Southern Xinjiang can be regarded as the territory of the two dynasties of Dongling and Dasheng..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xie Yan shook his head and said: "The Taifu should understand Mr.
The highest point. Once this news leaks out, even if the court does not take action, those who are also members of the aristocratic family will probably rush to clean up the family. Perhaps it is for this reason that the old head of the Xiao family retired early."
When you are young, you can do anything you can't do for the sake of love, but you can never live for love all your life. The old head of the family fulfilled his love, but laid a huge hidden danger for the descendants of the Xiao family. Xueyang
The gentleman is famous all over the world, but he has never stepped out of the world for almost his whole life. This may not be because he is trying to deal with the aftermath of his parents.
Taifu Su was silent for a long time, still he could only shake his head and sigh.
He naturally understood these truths, but it was a bit sad to think about his teacher's life and the current situation of the Xiao family at this time.
"What does the prince plan to do with the Xiao family?" Taifu Su asked.
Xie Yan said calmly: "Teacher is joking. The Xiao family is a subject of Dasheng. Since they have made no mistakes, how can we deal with it? The only person who needs to be dealt with... is probably the third son of the Xiao family who intends to kill his brother."
After hearing this, Taifu Su also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. Xueyang Academy, what are your plans?"
Xie Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Taifu Su, and said calmly: "Xueyang Academy was built by the Xiao family, and there is no reason for the imperial court to take possession of it. As for the relationship between the Xiao family and Xueyang Academy... Xueyang Academy was indeed built by Mr. Xueyang himself.
It was created by him, but it was not just him. Even if Mr. Xueyang’s lineage really has some thoughts, I don’t believe that the rest of the Xiao family will join them in doing something rebellious.”
The Xiao family is a Yangxin family, and the direct line is not the only one with a flourishing family. But the direct line is the only one with Southern Xinjiang bloodline. Even if the direct line really has different intentions, how many side branches are willing to follow them and do whatever they want?
In fact, once the news spread that Mr. Xueyang's descendants had the bloodline of Southern Xinjiang, the first people to oppose them were the branches of the Xiao family, followed by the families who pursued bloodline and inheritance of orthodoxy, and then the imperial court.
In the eyes of the imperial court, people from southern Xinjiang may not be outsiders, but in the eyes of aristocratic families, people from southern Xinjiang are definitely not their own.
Therefore, Xie Yan is not in a hurry, nor is he worried that the Xiao family will do anything detrimental to Da Sheng.
Taifu Su nodded, and then he felt truly relieved.
He would only be worried if Xie Yan said a lot of nice things.
Since Xie Yan expressed his thoughts so openly and honestly, it seems that he really has no intention of taking action against the Xiao family. If possible, Taifu Su still hopes that his mentor's lineage can be passed on safely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Taifu Su raised his hand to add more tea for the two of them and said, "I want to visit the Xiao family tomorrow."
Xie Yan said: "Master, please do it yourself."
A somewhat relaxed smile appeared on Taifu Su's face, and he said: "I have met the eldest son of the Xiao family several times. If Mr. Xueyang can safely entrust the Xiao family to him, he must be a talented person. He must also be able to entrust the Xiao family to him."
Understanding his grandfather's painstaking efforts may be of some help to the current situation in southern Xinjiang."
Xie Yan and Taifu Su were saying this in the room. Luo Junyao and Su Rui played with Su Xun for a while, but they were a little tired.
Su Rui took Luo Junyao to rest in the flower hall on the other side, while Su Xun went to his mother's yard. He will live in the Regent's Mansion most of the time in the future, and can only come back to see his family when he has nothing to do. Although Su Xun is young and mature
, after all, he is still a child, and he still wants to stay with his mother for a while.
"Why do I feel that Ah Xun seems to be much more lively?" Su Rui couldn't help but said looking at Su Xun's back. In fact, she couldn't see any change. Su Xun was still a calm and elegant young master, but she just felt that he looked too young for some reason.
A bit lively.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "If a few children play together, they will naturally be more lively."
Su Rui said: "It's as if we don't have children at home. Ah Xun used to be very stable at home."
He is so steady that even at such a young age, he has a bit of an elder brother's dignity among his brothers.
In layman's terms, children don't like to play with him.
Luo Junyao said: "Don't even look at who are the people playing with him now."
Su Rui couldn't help but smile when she thought of the children she saw with the Regent's Mansion last time.
Right.
If others don't tell me, the chubby little guy looks a little too lively. The Su family doesn't have such lively and active children.
"By the way, you haven't had any trouble these days, have you?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
"Trouble?" Su Rui raised her eyebrows in confusion, but soon understood and said with a smile, "What kind of trouble can it cause? At most, it's just a couple of weird comments."
"You said you are yin and yang, which shows that it is really not good." Luo Jun said.
Su Rui said: "They don't dare to talk in front of me. They just get together in private to talk about things they don't have. I'm not familiar with them, so what influence can it have?"
Luo Jun shook his head and nodded, "That's good." Su Rui was different from her. Su Rui's popularity had always been good. Even though she was now close to several girls from the Martial Arts Academy, she was not alienated from her original friends from the Linglong Academy.
.
She even occasionally invited a few close friends to play with Song Huan and the others. When Luo Mingxiang and Luo Junyao got married, Su Rui also brought a few girls she was friends with to the Luo family to join in the fun.
Most of those who would ridicule Su Rui had a normal relationship with Su Rui or were simply out of reach, so Su Rui naturally wouldn't mind.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and asked with a smile: "Sister Su Rui, if someone wants to pursue you now, will you agree?"
"Pursue?" Su Rui was startled.
Luo Junyao said: "I just admire you and want to ask for marriage..."
Su Rui shook her head and said, "Probably not."
"You shouldn't be like Minmin and don't want to get married, right?" Luo Jun said.
Su Rui smiled and said: "I actually talked to Minmin about this. I'm not as courageous as her, but I want to take advantage of these two years to do something I want to do. If there is a suitable person by then, he will
Even if you think you can accept it, I won't refuse it." It's not like she has made up her mind to be a loner for the rest of her life.
Luo Junyao couldn't help but thought to himself: Are you not brave enough? Minmin was just planning to run away from home, but you, Miss Su, have already put it into practice and even obtained a meritorious exam.
"Then what if no matter what you do, the other party doesn't care and is even willing to support you?" Luo Junyao asked.
Su Rui laughed and said: "How can I have such good luck? I even met my fiancé for no reason. Are you trying to show off to me, His Highness the Regent?"
"Of course not. Apart from Ayan, there are still many good men in this world." For example, my eldest brother.
"Yeah, yeah, I understand." Su Rui smiled and said, "Let's see if we meet him. It's okay if we don't meet him. It's a rare opportunity. It's better to be free in the past two years."
Su Rui is really tolerant of this. Anyway, with the Su family's family background, it doesn't matter if she really can't get married in the future. At worst, she can just say that she has seen through the world of mortals and become a monk and become a Taoist nun.
She had money and property and could support herself. Even if her parents were gone and her brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews would not like to see her in the future, she would have been able to live on her own at her age at that time, and would not be a burden to the Su family.
Seeing her nonchalant look, Luo Junyao could only sigh in his heart and silently pray for his eldest brother.
