Younger brother

Shan Niantong finally found the bamboo forest in Qianluzhou. When he walked into the Xiangfei bamboo, he found a large lake in the middle of the bamboo forest, and on the lake stood a small bamboo house. .

Shan Niantong tied up the horse and pushed open the wooden door of the bamboo house, but there was no one inside.

Observing that the beds, bookcases and various utensils in the bamboo house had used traces, and the traces were still very new, Shan Niantong waited for the owner of the house in the bamboo house, but after waiting for many days, the owner of the bamboo house did not Never showed up.

Just when Shan Niantong was a little discouraged, a white-haired woman walked in outside the door.

The woman was about 50 to [-] years old, wearing a long black dress. Although she had white hair, the wrinkles on her face could not conceal her original handsome face. There was a red cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, which could be seen when she was young. elegance.

When the woman saw his face, she recognized him: "You are her child."

Shan Niantong took out a white jade bottle from his bosom, which contained the water he once filled from the back lake of Liyuan.

Shan Niantong told her that her mother passed away more than ten years ago. She said that the person she loved the most was waiting for her by the Zhulin Lake in Qianluzhou, and then handed the white jade bottle to the woman, saying: "I think she will be happy if her last breath can stay with you."

The woman took the white jade bottle, and rubbed the body of the bottle with her fingers, the corners of her lips curled up, but her eyes couldn't hide the pain, and tears flowed down her smile, she said: "My son!" She is always so willful."

Shan Niantong stayed in that bamboo forest for two years, and finally learned the whole story about his mother.

It turns out that the woman in the bamboo forest is the Bianxi witch god, Chu Handong, who has disappeared for more than 30 years.

Back then, Chu Handong was only 19 years old. She disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the capital of the Ling Kingdom, intending to assassinate Shan Yehua, the old patriarch of the Shan family who had slaughtered most of her witch clan. At that time, Shan Qiye was watching Shan Niantong's mother, Shangguan Yu, was hanging around in the troupe from time to time.

Disguised as a man, Chu Handong, under the pseudonym Chu Handong, deliberately ran into Shangguan Yu, who was a young girl at the time, and confessed his love secretly, intending to get close to Shan Yehua through Shangguan Yu, in order to achieve the purpose of assassination.

Originally, Shangguan was just a pawn of the witch god Chu Handong, but over time, Chu Handong discovered that he was actually in love with this pawn.And Chu Handong, as the witch god of the witch clan, is not allowed to have love, let alone same-sex love.

But Chu Handong eventually fell in love with Shangguan Yu, and no one is an exception in matters of love.

Chu Handong confides the truth to Shangguan Yu, telling her that the meeting and meeting at the beginning were all just a conspiracy, and after killing Shan Yehua, she took her away from Ling Kingdom to Qianluzhou, which has no country. Live in seclusion for a lifetime.

At that time, Shangguan could not forgive Chu Handong no matter what, she did not want to believe that in the past day and night, the sideburns and ears were just Chu Handong's play, but she was heartbroken and threw herself into Shan Yehua's arms , and became pregnant with Shan Niantong.

Chu Handong, who was burning with anger, was about to kill Shan Yehua, but under Shangguan Yu's begging, Chu Handong finally gave up, and she left Lingguo. Before leaving, she finally said to Shangguan Yu : "As long as you want, I can take you away."

At that time, Shangguan, who was seven months pregnant, said: "It's too late, everything is too late, you forget me, and I don't have you."

"I have turned my back on the witch and the witch clan, and I am no longer a witch god." Chu Handong said, "As long as you want, I will always wait for you by the Qianlu Island, and I will plant a bamboo forest there, Build a bamboo house on the lake full of Xiangfei bamboos."

However, until Shangguan Yu committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, Chu Handong could not wait for her concubine.

Chu Handong said to Shan Niantong with a sad expression: "Some things, if it is too late, can never be undone."

Shan Niantong stroked the blood-red markings on the main stem of Xiangfei bamboo, groaning silently.

Legend has it that when the tears of Ehuang and Nvying were sprinkled on the bamboo poles, some tear spots appeared, some were purple, some were snow white, and some were bright blood red, which were dyed by the blood and tears from the eyes of the two concubines.

Shan Niantong thought that planting tears of bamboo on the bank of Qianlu Island might be Chu Handong's last hope for his mother.

Another three months have passed, and after the New Year's Eve, it will be the fourth year of Chongfu, and the wedding banquet between Empress Aoguo and the second son of the Shan family will be held on the sixth day of the first month of the year of Chongfu.

That day, the sky was full of snow, gongs and drums blared, and red happy flowers and white snowflakes floated all over the entire imperial capital of Ling Kingdom.

Mafuya Yantiti wore a red groom's robe and rode on a tall horse tied with flower balls, while Shan Yuyan actually wore the wedding dress of the royal family of Ao Kingdom, covered her red hijab, and sat behind her with an embroidered Inside the sedan chair with red cloud patterns.

Originally, for Shan Yuyan, wearing a wedding dress was not a big deal, but since this morning, he has been tossed by Xi Po as if he was serving a bride. After finishing her makeup and hair in the morning, Shan Yuyan has not eaten After buying things, you have to follow the rules and complete those tiresome etiquettes one by one. Now Shan Yuyan sitting in the sedan chair can be said to be exhausted, and her chest is on her back with hunger.

But in addition to the pain, Shan Yuyan felt fortunate that he had suffered all these crimes for Mafuya Yantiti. If that girl was really allowed to suffer these things, Shan Yuyan felt a little distressed. Thinking about it this way, he I felt that there was nothing wrong with myself.

The guests who came to the banquet in Shan's mansion, apart from the dignitaries, the children of the family, and the wine and meat friends who had some friendship with Shan Yuyan in the past, were Cen Fuyu, Xiao Feng, and the royal guests from Ao country.

In front of the gate of the Shan Mansion, a group of children dressed in fancy clothes were teasing a little girl in a pink embroidered jacket. Although the thin little girl was bullied by other children, she did not back down. Her beautiful black almond eyes seemed to be Can emit light.

"Li Yangge, little cuju, grandma kicks here, grandpa goes, no father, no mother, no one to love." The children sang nursery rhymes, mockingly circled the little girl, and kicked her several times from time to time, seriously treating her as a Cuju is average.

That little girl was the child left behind by Princess Yanhua whom Li Fu married back then. After Princess Yanhua died, she was randomly discarded in the other garden of the Li Mansion. A few years later, Li Fu committed suicide. He became an orphan whose parents died.

"Stop." A child wearing the blue Ao Kingdom royal costume ran out and chased away those aristocratic children for Li Yangge.

The facial features of the boy who came to help him are not as gentle as the children of the Ling Kingdom, but the people of the Ao Kingdom have a clear outline. Under the cloud eyebrows are a pair of red phoenix eyes that are very similar to the empress of the Ao Kingdom. Ten-year-old Mafuya Yanzhimai.

"Do you have anything to do?" Mafuya Yanzhimai still can't speak Ling Guo dialect well, not only the pronunciation is strange, but even the words and sentences are confused, but Li Yangge can barely guess that he is asking if there is something wrong with him, whether it doesn't matter .

"I'm fine." Li Yangge got up from the ground and patted the snow and mud on his pink jacket.

Seeing the large stains on Li Yangge's pink jacket, Mafuya Yanzhimai grabbed her and walked into the Xiyuan of Shanfu, he said with a strange pronunciation: "The clothes are dirty, I will take you to change them and make them clean. "

It was Shan Qiye, Patriarch of the Shan Family, who presided over the wedding banquet today. Although he was still as usual, expressionless and sullen, judging from his slightly relaxed aura, it was obvious that he was in a somewhat moody mood today. happy.

In the middle of the wedding banquet, the current Emperor Xi Yan actually came from the palace to congratulate him in person. This is an unprecedented honor for the family, and it also shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this marriage of Ling Ao.

Chen Xianyu was dressed in a golden dragon robe, and walked in from the red carpet at the gate with his head held high. Facing the kneeling worship of the crowd, he just raised his hand, and the little eunuch who followed him made a shrill voice to calm everyone down.

Cen Fuyu didn't know if it was his own delusion, he always felt that the people around Chen Xianyu were more like Ah Fu in the past, especially the little eunuch who followed closely, his eyebrows and eyes looked like Ah Fu, but when he looked closely , but found that he was no longer like Ah Fu.

However, in just three years, Chen Xianyu, who was in charge of the Ling Kingdom, had grown from the former Crown Prince Sheng to a young emperor at this time.Just as he once promised Ah Fu, since he took the throne three years ago, he has followed the ruling policy of vigorously promoting farming, lightly taxing taxes, building plank roads, and developing commercial ports, making the Ling Kingdom, which was devastated by wars and famine years It flourished rapidly.

The common people praised the emperor's style of conduct, but Emperor Xiyan has not yet accepted the queen, and even the concubines in the harem are very few. Besides state affairs, the only thing that Emperor Xiyan cares about is his imperial tomb a hundred years later .

Few people know that the emperor of Ling Kingdom built a mausoleum made of pure gold in his imperial mausoleum, just for the promise he made to that little servant named Ah Fu many years ago. Chen Xianyu said that he would build a gold mausoleum for him. The palace I made is called Jinwu Zangjiao.

But now that person's bones have rotted in the underground mausoleum, so Chen Xianyu built a gold tomb for him.

Facing the royal family of the Ao Kingdom and the aristocratic clan, Chen Xianyu said with the dignity of an emperor: "The widow promises today that the two countries will not fight for a hundred years, exchange trade, exchange what is needed, sell official salt, blend cultures, allow intermarriage, and achieve peace." Coexistence, no war, no war."

Ma Fuya raised her lips and smiled, and said: "According to what His Majesty said, there will be no war in a hundred years."

At the banquet, regardless of what the king of Ling Kingdom and Ao Kingdom said, a little girl in a yellow pear flower jacket was only focused on eating the roast duck on the table. The little boy in the blue royal costume looked at her bewilderedly and smiled: "Xiao Yangge, you can eat slowly, my aunt told me that there will be more delicious food later. of."

This day, Shan Mansion has been bustling from early morning to dusk. Shan Qiye held his second brother's wedding banquet all day until dusk, and the wedding banquet was coming to an end. In the corner of the wedding banquet, that touch of bright red.

That was his crabapple, and that crabapple just looked at all of this with a smile on its lips.
