"Longxi Didao..." The pottery merchant began to recall carefully... In this way, this girl is from Gansu.
Diao Chan continued quietly: "The little girl's family took Diao as its surname. Later, it was framed and exterminated by a prominent family in Longxi. The Diao family lived in Didao for a long time. Before the Jianning period, it was a vassal of the Fufeng Dou family..."
The pottery merchant listened silently without interrupting. In this era of numerous aristocratic families, various families competed for beauty, forming a chain of local forces. Sometimes the complexity cannot be described clearly in a sentence or two.
But I heard Diao Chan continue: "After the Duting Incident, the Dou family in Guanxi declined. We, the Diao family, were afraid of being implicated, so we moved our branch to Taiyuan, and in Taiyuan, the Wang family was the head of the famous family in Bingzhou.
, I, the Diao family, became the vassal of the Wang family again... It was also because of this that the little girl's biological father and her adoptive father became attached to each other, and the two had an irreconcilable relationship, and they were also known as life-and-death friends..."
Tao Shang rolled his eyes and curled his lips secretly... For someone as stubborn as Wang Yun to be on a life-and-death relationship, it would be unusual for Diao Chan and his own father to be afraid.
"Fourteen years ago, the Diao family moved back to Longxi. They wanted to settle down in their homeland again, but due to what happened in the past years, they were coveted by the powerful people in Longxi. My father knew the danger beforehand and knew that the disaster was inevitable, so he sent someone
He secretly sent me to my adoptive father, when the little girl was only three years old..."
The potter raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and counted the time on his fingers.
Fourteen years ago, it probably happened to be the year when Emperor Xiaoling issued an edict to expand the scope of the second party incarceration. Most of the people involved in that expansion and rectification were implicated in the five tribes... The specific time when the Diao family was exterminated was
On that left and right.
But even if the scope of the party’s imprisonment is expanded to include the five tribes, it won’t wipe out the family, right?... Most of them seem to end up with the result of being dismissed from all official positions in their tribe and imprisoned for life... Of course, there are also some unlucky ones who receive more severe punishments.
.
Diao Chan's family may be one of them.
Diao Chan did not notice the potter's puzzled expression and continued: "I entered the Wang family's mansion when I was three years old. My adoptive father thought about the life-and-death friendship with my father in the past, so he hid me in secret, and also changed my name and citizenship to hide my identity. Over the years,
He treats me like his own daughter and takes great care of me... Mr. Tao, you actually still don’t understand my adoptive father very well. Although his words are a bit harsh, his heart is still very upright."
Regarding Wang Yun, it is not convenient for the pottery merchant to make any comments...Historical comments on Wang Yun have mixed merits and demerits. He killed Dong Zhuo as a merit, but the chaos that followed Dong Zhuo was a disaster...Besides,
If you use the beauty chain trick, you won't be able to get it on the table.
But a thousand people have a thousand ideas, and benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions.
"Miss Diaochan, Wang Situ holds a high position and is from the Wang family in Taiyuan. When these things happened, there had not been any wars and chaos in the world, and his Wang family's power was also very important... Your Diao family was destroyed, why didn't the Wang family want to
How can I save your family? Wasn't your family once a vassal of the Wang family?"
The pottery merchant was very surprised. Although the Taiyuan Wang family had not yet reached the peak of the "five surnames and seven clans" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they were still a powerful family that could be traced back thousands of years. There were many people in the court. How could it be so?
Just watching his vassal family being destroyed? Isn't this the same as slapping the Wang family?
Diao Chan shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Although the Wang family is a wealthy family in Bingzhou, the world is so big, how can all the capable people belong to the Wang family? There are many things that aristocratic families are helpless about... In life, there will always be people who can compete with each other.
enemy……"
Upon hearing this, the pottery merchant seemed to suddenly realize.
Seeing Diao Chan's increasingly lonely expression, Tao Shang knew that he probably shouldn't linger on this topic any longer.
If I really have the opportunity to go to Longxi one day, I will see if I can find another opportunity to help this beautiful and troubled woman find justice.
"By the way, Miss Diao Chan." The potter slowly changed the subject bit by bit and said with a smile: "You just said that Diao Chan was just a pseudonym, and your original surname is Diao. What is your name? Your biological father.
I should give you a maiden name from my own clan, right?"
Diao Chan tilted her head, looked at the pottery merchant tenderly with her almond-shaped eyes, and suddenly covered her mouth and smiled.
"Want to know? I won't tell you."
Under Diao Chan's smile, her charm suddenly appeared, as if the burning hall was reflecting the vitality of spring.
Even though Tao Shang was prepared, he was in a daze for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and turned his head away.
Diao Chan seemed to have noticed something, and she became naughty and coquettishly said: "Master, why don't you look at me?"
The potter raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said, "I won't look at it anymore. It's a sin to look at such a beautiful woman too much."
Although Diao Chan was often praised for her beauty on weekdays, it had long been a habit, but for some reason today, when she heard the potter praise her for her beauty, she couldn't help but feel happy and shy.
Moreover, the potter's tone and expression all seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, but he was not like those ordinary men who would become fascinated and show off their ugliness as soon as they saw him.
Diao Chan felt happy and said a little shyly: "Master, do you really think this little girl... is beautiful?"
The pottery merchant nodded and said: "Of course, especially the way you smiled just now, it is as beautiful as it is... much prettier than the 'Dachun' in our Xuzhou Governor's Mansion."
Diao Chan curiously asked: "Who is 'Dachun'? Is she the maid who serves you? ...She is very beautiful?"
The potter shook his head and sighed: "Tao's mother passed away early, and she is not used to being served by female relatives...'Dachun' is a female dog in the house. Her coat is as white and pink as a girl's skin. Alas, she follows my Tao family around
I have been hunting in the mountains and wild fields for many years, and I am very loyal. Sometimes my father is more affectionate to him than to me, my own son... Unfortunately, God is not discerning. One time, the housekeeper took him out for a walk, and I don’t know who was greedy for it.
He stole it to cook dog meat in a pot, but even the bones have not been found yet... It's pitiful that I, 'Dachun', have galloped around the hunting ground and made great achievements in battle, but I can't escape the vicious hands of these evil thieves..."
Diao Chan: “…………”
The potter's words made Diao Chan's mood very complicated at the moment... She didn't know whether she should say something to comfort the potter for Dachun, or whether she should raise her hand and punch him a few times.
After living for sixteen or seventeen years, many people praised Diao Chan for her beauty. Some said she was as pretty as a peony, some said she was as refined as a fairy from heaven descending to earth, and some said she was as pretty as a snow goose in the clouds.
It's out of reach...but the potter is the first since ancient times to compare Diao Chan with a bitch.
Diao Chan pouted her little cherry lips, turned her head and muttered: "I have never seen you like this... How can I say such a thing about a girl... Men are really not good at all."
The potter chuckled, his smile was bright and sunny, and he stood up and said: "Okay, okay, men are not good, girl, you are good... don't be angry, let's go, we should go back."
Diao Chan looked at the pottery merchant, feeling shy for some reason. She hugged Qin and got up from the ground, but she suddenly realized something...
What he just said doesn’t sound right the more you hear it...
