After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

A few days ago, although Xiao Song left Lu's mansion with a full stomach, most of the people in Xu Guogong's mansion, except for a few personal guards around him, did not know about it.

Therefore, when the servants of Duke Xu's mansion came to deliver the news in a hurry, besides being moved, Lu Fan felt a little bit embarrassed about not knowing what to do...

After asking the servant to thank Xiao Song on his behalf, Lu Fan hurried to the backyard, where his mother, He Shi, was still worshiping the Buddha in the small Buddhist hall, with a peaceful look of ignoring the world.

Lu Fan only glanced at the scriptures enshrined in front of the incense table in the Small Buddha Hall, and knew that it was written by his eldest son Lu Ji.

Speaking of it, although he is the eldest son of Lu Xiangxian, he has been growing up under his father and mother's knees, but the calligraphy he practiced was obtained from a famous calligraphy.

On the contrary, his eldest son, Lu Ji, learned a handwriting from Lu Xiangxian's post since he was a child, and he is quite similar to his grandfather.

The He family has always loved Lu Ji, and especially cherished the scriptures that his eldest grandson copied for him. In fact, there may be a reason why this handwriting is quite similar to Lu Xiangxian...

Thinking of this, Lu Fan, who could not help complaining because of the quarrel between his mother and Xiao Song a few days ago, couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.

He didn't understand what his mother He Shi said, but if his father was still there when Lu Ji grew up, and the two children hit it off, this marriage might still be possible. The granddaughter of the Xiao family is already a few years behind in age, and she is still very young now, but there is no need to mention it.

Not to mention, although people in the world claim to "marry high and marry low", but if you look at the marriage relationship of those aristocratic families, how can they act according to this?

Xiao Song's eldest daughter-in-law, Pei Ji, was born in the Wenxi Pei family in Hedong. His father, Pei Yaoqing, was a prime minister a few years ago. The entire Pei family is a wealthy and prominent family that has lasted for hundreds of years.

The second daughter-in-law, Princess Xinchang, was from the royal family of Li Tang.

A dynasty of flowing water and an aristocratic family of iron have never been empty words.Let’s talk about the Xiao family, there was Empress Xiao in the previous dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, they were still treated with courtesy by Tang Taizong. Isn’t it because of the Lanling Xiao family behind it?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Fan's mind for a moment, but when his eyes fell on the small Buddhist hall, in the end he just sighed slightly, bowed and said: "Mother, Mr. Xiao just sent someone to deliver a letter saying that Xingqing In the palace, Concubine Wu Hui has just passed away."

Seeing the old and haggard hands, He Shi suddenly stopped his movements slightly.

After a while, her fingers trembled slightly and she put down the rosary in her hand. Her bloodshot eyes were covered with a layer of haze. Finally, she sighed in a strange voice: "She's gone too..."

Princess Anle, Empress Wei, and then Princess Taiping, those royal and aristocratic women who once stood at the top of the power of the Tang Dynasty, how arrogant and domineering they were, and how arrogant they were, and now, they all died in front of her?

If they were boiled to death, even if he died the next moment, He Shi would have no more complaints.

He Shi lightly grasped the Buddhist bead in his hand, and the blue veins in his skinny hand became more and more clear.

However, she still wanted to hold on.

Lu Xiang went early, and she had to support him, watch him for a few more years, and watch the grandchildren of the Lu family grow up...

A trace of worry flashed in Lu Fan's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Mother, Concubine Wu Hui has passed away, all wives need to enter the palace to express their condolences."

"Go, of course I'm going!" He's fingers trembled slightly and counted two beads, but he still couldn't count, he loosened his fingers and stood up wobbly, Lu Fan quickly reached out to help him, "Mother. "

There was a sneer at the corner of He Shi's drooping mouth, they were all dead, this time, of course she would go and see them, and send those of them who were all dead and clean for a ride!

·

The sound of rain outside the window never stopped.

After Xiao Yansui wrote down all the clues he knew on paper, he could naturally see the missing parts at a glance.

Last time, on the map of Ximing Temple drawn by her brother Xiao Heng, she clearly outlined the suspicious places of the monks in Ximing Temple. However, after Xiao Heng went to Ximing Temple again, the result of the investigation was that she never told her again.

This is just one of them.

As for the second thing, of course, after Xuanzong made the decree, the results of Gao Lishi's investigation came out. Now this kind of movement of wanting to deal with the matter coldly is obviously not instigated by no one.

For the time being, Xiao Yansui definitely couldn't get the truth from Gao Lishi's mouth, but she had no doubt that even if it was to be dealt with so coldly, Xuanzong or Gao Lishi would definitely have to get along with her grandfather Xiao Song.

——In the eyes of everyone, she is just a child. They may think that children have a great forgetfulness, and no one mentions this matter. After a while, she will forget about it.

However, compared to her, her elder brother Xiao Heng is no longer a child.

What Xiao Song doesn't tell her may not tell Xiao Heng.

Xiao Yansui rested her chin on her left hand, held the quill in her right hand, and tapped lightly on the place where two big question marks were drawn on the paper. With a "click", the tip of the quill touched the paper. The ink was soaked, covering most of her question marks directly.

"Tsk," Xiao Yansui snorted, and threw the pen into the clear water, waiting for the ink in the quill to be washed away, and then threw the paper that was almost full just now into the brazier, Burned directly, except for the ashes in the basin, there is no trace of it.

"Woof..." After a while, the little dog's posture has changed from lying on the door to squatting obediently at the door, looking at the pattering rain outside the door, and looking at its own little wooden dog. Nest in a daze.

Xiao Yansui stood up, put his arms around the little dog's neck, and rubbed its fluffy head, "It's raining outside, you should stay indoors today!"

Although the kennel made of wooden boards for the little soil dog is definitely rainproof, but it was almost impossible to keep the kennel from seepage due to the heavy rain before.

Waiting and waiting, Xiao Yansui simply found a low stool at the door of the study and sat down. While hugging the little dirt dog who sat down taller than her, he murmured softly as if talking to himself: " Maybe I should ask Xiao Heng, I always feel that my brother must know something, but this matter has to not alert A Niang and grandfather... Hey, it's really troublesome."

After a while, Axiu, who was sent away from the study by Xiao Yansui before, came over again holding an umbrella, and said to Xiao Yansui: "Liu Niang, what do you want to eat at noon today? It has been raining outside and the ground is slippery. The lady said, Let you stay in the house, try not to move around outside, be careful to catch cold in the rain."

"Warmer food like hot soup!" Xiao Yansui said casually, she felt that she was only five years old now, and she probably hadn't eaten all the food on the menu, especially in the hot summer, it was easy to lose her appetite. The weather is getting cooler after the rainstorm, so why don't you just eat some hot rice with soup and water.

Axiu nodded, and said in response: "Your maidservant, go and tell the kitchen." As she spoke, Axiu saw Xiao Yansui sitting at the door hugging a little dog, looking bored, for a moment He was also a little uncertain, so he simply asked directly: "Liu Niang, do you want to go back to the house, after lunch later, just take a nap."

Xiao Yansui shook her head, pointed at the softness of the study with her backhand, and said slowly: "The study is also soft, I just want to stay here."

Axiu just gave up, and took another look at the little dirt dog that Xiao Yansui put one arm on his neck, squatting there obediently, and wagging its tail from time to time, it really is different from a dog, wait a minute Someone had to bring the rations prepared for this little thing along with it.

——This kind of small country dog ​​in the countryside has always been raised casually in the village. How can anyone raise it so meticulously? A first-class hound, this kind of native dog, can't catch their eyes no matter what...

East Palace.

Prince Li Heng, who also received the news of Concubine Wu Hui's death early in the morning, still had a sad face on his face. After sending away the servant who delivered the letter, in his own study, a gleam of joy flashed across his eyes.

Concubine Wu Hui's age is not too old, therefore, when she got sick this time, everyone just thought it was Xia Tian accidentally catching a cold at night, but no one thought that Concubine Wu Hui would be so ill.

Prince Li Heng gave a low cough, tried his best to calm down his mood, and after he couldn't help pacing in the study a few times, he murmured in a low voice: "Retribution..."

Prior to this, Concubine Wu Hui had repeatedly promoted Li Linfu and recommended Li Linfu wholeheartedly. After Li Linfu gained Xuanzong's favor, she even reciprocated. The political stance of Concubine Wu Hui became more and more inseparable. Wang Limao is the crown prince.

But at that time, the deposed prince Li Ying was still there.Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu's scheming methods, coupled with Xuanzong's favor, they dared to fabricate charges and frame Prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, and King Guang Li Ju for plotting rebellion.After all three of them were arrested by Xuanzong, Concubine Wu Hui repeatedly fell into slander, intending to force the three of them to death.

As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children. At that time, not to mention other courtiers, I am afraid that even the arrested prince Li Ying, King E Li Yao, and King Guang Li Ju did not expect that Xuanzong, under the instigation of Concubine Wu Hui, would actually kill him. To be so ruthless, to kill three sons in a row in one day!

At that time, after the news of the death of Xuanzong's third son came out, there was an uproar in the court, and the princes like Li Heng were also quite frightened and worried.

Someone still quietly mentioned the matter of Princess Anle, Empress Wei, and Princess Taiping back then, and Li Heng had a chill down his spine, and suddenly realized that Xuanzong's throne was hard-won, and he had experienced the chaos of Empress Wei and the congenital coup. The matter of seeking to usurp the throne is particularly sensitive.

For Xuanzong, if someone tried to get involved in the imperial power, even if that person was the crown prince, Xuanzong would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

Concubine Wu Hui has been favored for many years, but the Wu family behind her has been suppressed all the time. After Wu Sansi, the rest of the Wu clan will not be able to cause any trouble if they give them three more courage.Moreover, due to the encumbrance of the Wu family, Concubine Wu Hui was never granted the posthumous position, and Xuanzong had pity and consciously owed her for so many years.

In particular, Concubine Wu Hui is a stirrer, relying on Xuanzong's favor to fall into slander and let her play tricks by herself. Concubine Wu Hui is really not a person with this ability.Weak in the court, even in the harem, she can only rely on Concubine Wu Hui of Xuanzong. Compared with the deposed prince Li Ying who already had the position of crown prince and was very close to Li Yao of Hubei and Li Ju of Guang, Xuanzong was even stronger. Who to trust is almost obvious.

Now, Concubine Wu Hui is dead, and Li Heng is the crown prince, even though Li Linfu is still fighting against each other in the court, Li Heng can still breathe a sigh of relief without a concubine Wu Hui who treats him like a thorn in the harem, a thorn in the flesh and who is always favored .

After pacing around the study room for two more times, Prince Li Heng put on his bamboo hat and went to the back, intending to talk to his eldest son Li Chu.

In Li Chu's dormitory, he and his sister Li Wenning, who was born in the same mother, were also there, as well as the poor little Li Tan who was always ignored by everyone in the Eastern Palace because of the humbleness of his mother.

In the entire East Palace, even Prince Li Heng ignored his third son Li Tan a lot. Basically, Li Tan only had a relatively close relationship with his elder brother Li Chu and third sister Li Wenning.

Seeing these three children get together again, Prince Li Heng's eyes flashed with surprise.

The last time the three of them came back from Ximing Temple, Crown Prince Li Heng just found out that Li Chu took Li Wenning and Li Tan for an outing. Now seeing the three of them together again, naturally he knew the relationship between the three of them. The relationship is getting closer.

Li Chu and Li Wenning were born of the same mother. After Wu gave birth to Li Wenning, her daughter passed away when she was less than one year old.

For the only younger sister, compared to the real father, Prince Li Heng, the elder brother Li Chu is the father and the mother at the same time, pulling the younger sister up single-handedly.

Moreover, when Li Chu was taking care of his younger sister, he saw that the third brother who also lost his mother when he was young was also a small group, which was quite pitiful. When he felt pity for a moment, Li Chu simply put his younger brother and sister together and kept them together. Pulling and taking care of it...

But after thinking about it, Prince Li Heng also suddenly realized that these three children were all from humble matriarchal lineages and lost their mothers in their early years, so it's no wonder they hugged together...

Moreover, Li Chu is his eldest son, needless to say, the last time Li Wenning went to Yan Guogong's mansion where Princess Ningqin lived, he did things very carefully. These two children, according to Crown Prince Li Heng, are very good.As for Li Tan, he is only eight years old and hasn't done anything, so let's just treat it as a joke!

Crown Prince Li Heng told Li Chu, Li Wenning and Li Tan the news that Concubine Wu Hui had gone to Xingqing Palace this morning, and also carefully told them that they were going to enter the palace to cry for their souls later, and then left.

Li Chu, Li Wenning and Li Tan looked at each other after the figure of Prince Li Heng walked away in the rain.

Li Chu lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Concubine Wu Hui passed away, the sage must be deeply saddened, I'm afraid the palace is quite uneasy during this period of time."

Li Tan rested a finger on his chin and said nothing.

Li Wenning thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "Last time Aye asked me to visit my aunt at Duke Yan's mansion, the matter of Xiao Liuniang's injury seemed to have disappeared afterwards?"

Li Chu was also taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded in confusion, "It looks like that, but it is."

According to common sense, it shouldn't be like this...

"..." Li Tan couldn't help thinking of the little girl who had a mosquito bag on her face when she went out, and asked him with her eyes wide open.

At the end, Li Tan said in a low voice: "Even if there is still movement, this time it caught up with Concubine Wu Hui's illness and passed away, other things are probably not considered to be a big deal."

"The third brother is right." Li Chu nodded, quite agreeing with this.

Li Wenning also whispered: "I don't know if Xiao Liuniang will go to the palace with his mother to express condolences this time."

Li Chu replied very simply, "Of course not."

"No." Li Tan whispered almost in unison with Li Chu.

The two brothers looked at each other, and Li Chu explained to his younger sister in a low voice: "Ms. Pei and Princess Xinchang will definitely come, as well as Mrs. He, the wife of Duke Xu's mansion."

"She's too young." Li Tan directly answered the reason why Xiao Yansui would definitely not appear.

With Xu Guogong Xiao Song's status, and Xuanzong's favor for him, Xiao Yansui, as Xiao Song's only little granddaughter, is hard to say whether she has other free titles on her head, but a five-year-old Xiao Douding, even if she has With a title, letting her enter the palace will also add to the chaos...

Li Wenning nodded, and after a while, he whispered again: "I'm just curious, who made the move in Ximing Temple at that time, I dare not go to Ximing Temple to play again."

After a pause, Li Wenning said again: "Brother, third brother, do you think this matter can't be found out, or can't continue to investigate..."

For a while, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other in silence.

Speaking of it, it was Prince Li Heng, who didn't mention this matter to them again afterward, but thinking about it, he probably got some news, so he just kept his mouth shut!

Li Wenning tentatively said: "Let me ask Aye later?"

Li Tan was thinking about something, but said nothing.

A look of hesitation flashed across Li Chu's face, "This—"

Li Wenning said even more quietly: "Concubine Wu Hui is dead, Aye's mood should be okay."

Li Chu and Li Tan looked at each other.

Prince Li Heng's mood is not just okay?

Let’s just say that it was still raining outside today, and Prince Li Heng couldn’t help himself wearing a bamboo hat and came over to share the “good news” with them in person. Relaxed and light but can't hide it.

Li Tan has no doubts, if the firecrackers in the East Palace were not too obvious, Prince Li Heng would definitely go to celebrate by setting off firecrackers in person...

After hesitating for a while, Li Wenning, whose curiosity gradually arose and couldn't suppress it, finally made up his mind, and whispered to his elder brother and younger brother, "Then I'll ask Aye later."

·

In the city of Luoyang, it is also raining continuously in summer.

However, in the Yang Mansion, under the curtain of rain like silk, it was lively and full of joy.

Concubine Wu Hui's biological daughter, Princess Xianyi, who is also favored by Emperor Xuanzong, and Yang Hui's eldest son happened to have a hundred-day banquet today, and all the prominent families in Luoyang City came to congratulate.

In the front hall, Yang Hui was busy entertaining the male guests with a smile on his face. In the flower hall of the backyard, which was separated by a garden, there was a nanny holding the young man of the Yang family, who happened to be [-] days old today, and accompanied Princess Xianyi. Next to you, sit and talk with your wives or famous ladies and noble daughters.

Near noon, the banquet has already started.

Yang Hui was busy with his eldest son's hundred days, and his face was full of smiles, even the bystanders couldn't help but smile along with him.

Mrs. Liu is weak and cannot go out as a guest. Princess Xianyi's eldest son, Bai Ri, simply is Zhao Junzhuo, the grandson of the Zhao family who is not yet crowned, came to congratulate him personally.

After drinking for three rounds, Yang Hui, who was well fed by all the guests, took advantage of going to see Princess Xianyi and his eldest son's name, hurriedly slipped out of the flower hall at the back, stood in the courtyard and said to Princess Xianyi A few words.

The style of noble women in the Tang Dynasty has always been tough, so naturally there is no such thing as a big problem between men and women.

Yang Hui was standing outside the flower hall talking to Princess Xianyi, just in time for the little man who had passed the hundredth day today to cry loudly. There was a ball of laughter, and a clever hand held a ball fan in his hand, covered his lips lightly, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Langjun heard my own voice, so I asked him to hug me." !"

Princess Xianyi smiled when she heard this.

The banquet in the front hall was not over yet, the host, Yang Hui, sneaked away to hide the wine, while the other guests, some continued to sit and drink, and naturally some walked around the garden to get some fresh air.

After all, Zhao Junzhuo was young at this time, although he was able to handle it at the banquet, he didn't like it after all, so he sneaked out by himself for a while.

A lonely young man in a green shirt stands under the peach blossom branches with the spring flowers that have withered and the drizzle gurgling, and what he sees is a beautiful scenery that makes people fascinated.

At the corner of the flower hall in the backyard, there happened to be a seat for someone who could see the peach blossoms had withered, and only the green branches and leaves were left. When Zhao Junzhuo raised his head slightly, his face was not clear because of the distance. The demeanor is fascinating.

On the spot, there was a little lady who covered her face with a round fan. She looked shy, but she opened her eyes wide open and tried her best to look over her watery eyes that could not be covered by the round fan.

"Who is that little gentleman?" The little lady holding the round fan lightly poked another little lady sitting beside her.

This little lady is quite a rascal, when she heard that there was excitement, she hurriedly turned her head, "Let me see, which one?"

The little lady sitting at the corner of the flower hall no longer needed to cover her face with a round fan, she stretched out her round fan and pointed at the young man under the peach blossom tree.

The other little lady who looked up vigorously also opened her eyes wide. Finally, she sighed, "I can't see clearly!"

"Hey, you, I'm so happy!"

Immediately, the two little ladies poked me, and I dragged you, laughing and making a fuss.

Yang Hui who was still standing outside the flower hall, after hearing the noise of someone laughing in the flower hall, looked back and immediately replied with a low smile: "That young man is Zhao Fu, Zhao Junzhuo."

The two young ladies who got the name didn't have time to recollect the name "Zhao Junzhuo", when someone suddenly recalled, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh zhaofu, which zhaofu?"

A woman next to her smiled lightly, and said slowly, "It's the Zhao Mansion in Luoyang City, which Zhao Mansion is there?"

For a moment, there was a slight gasp in the flower hall, and a lady spoke quickly, raised her eyebrows, and said directly: "Today is a very good day, it happened five years ago, why are you still mentioning the Zhao Mansion?"

There was a young lady who heard this. Although she grew up in Luoyang City, she was still young at the time and didn't know about an old event that almost shocked the entire Luoyang City five years ago. Looking at the fast-talking lady, I hope they can talk a little more and reveal some news.

Even Princess Xianyi actually came to Luoyang and married Yang Hui only five years ago.

Therefore, she did not catch up with the old incident in the Zhao family five years ago, and she only found out when she heard someone mention it today.

After thinking about it, Princess Xianyi couldn't help being curious, so she also chuckled softly, and said softly: "Everyone sits down and chats, how can you be so particular. When you mention it like this, even I Got curious too."

When a group of gossip people sit together, they naturally want to chat about gossip.

Although they were still pushing and shoving, the ladies sitting in the flower hall finally talked about an old incident in the Zhao Mansion five years ago in detail.

Under the peach blossom branch, Zhao Junzhuo didn't know that, in the flower hall not far away, someone cautiously talked about the tragedy of the Zhao family five years ago.

However, even if he knew, in his heart, he didn't really care.

Zhao Junzhuo's gaze was far away, and his expression seemed to be a little dazed. He still remembered that the last words she said to him were, "It is better to pray to God and Buddha than to yourself! Take care of yourself and your mother."

Obviously people in the world call their mother mostly A Niang, but she is the only one. At that time, every mouthful was a mother.

Zhao Junzhuo lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of her in the past, he couldn't help showing a faint smile in his eyes, but immediately felt the pain of life and death.

Five years ago, in the Zhao Mansion in Luoyang City, an accident happened for no reason in the clear sky and broad daylight.

A fire that was too late to extinguish, actually burned to death the patriarch of the Zhao family and his concubine. Even the children of that concubine died with their parents. Of course, they went together. There is also Zhao Junzhuo's twin sister, Zhao Concubine, the daughter of the Liu family.

Overnight, in the huge Zhao family, there were only the old man of the Zhao family who had cultivated himself for a long time and was no longer in charge of affairs, the Zhao family's wife Liu Shi who was sick and unable to manage affairs, and Zhao Junzhuo, the grandson of the Zhao family.

Speaking of the sudden fire in the Zhao Mansion, everyone else felt lingering fear.

"I don't know how the fire started. I heard that the fire started suddenly, and there were several loud noises. It was two streets away from Luoyang City. I wish I could hear them all. It's clear." The fast-talking lady just now talked about what happened five years ago, still vividly, and still a little frightened in her heart.

Someone beside him added in a low voice: "I heard that there were so many servants and guards in the Zhao family at that time, no matter whether it was the lord of Zhao's mansion or a few young lords and ladies, none of them could be rescued. Once, the Zhao family was miserable."

The little lady who was full of curiosity about Zhao Junzhuo at the beginning was startled for a long time after hearing such a terrible story, and for a while, she couldn't care about Zhao Junzhuo standing under the tree, looking lonely and graceful like a fairy What a beautiful figure, just holding the round fan in his hand, along with everyone, someone added something, and then he let out a low voice, and finally shook his head, and sighed in a weak voice: "The Zhao family is so miserable!" , it's scary to think about it..."

Even Princess Xianyi gasped from time to time, and couldn't help muttering: "I didn't even know that the Zhao family suffered such a tragedy five years ago."

"Isn't that so?" the gossiping lady who spoke quickly shook her head, and said with emotion in a lower voice, "I heard that when the husband of Zhao's mansion was going to the funeral, he was burned in that fire, and even the bones It's all broken..."

It's summer, and it's raining continuously. Speaking of the bones and corpses, the ladies and little ladies in the flower hall even began to feel a little cold.

Some people recited "Amitabha" a few times in fear and unease, patted their chests, and after gathering their minds, they still couldn't help but continued to whisper with curiosity: "How can the fire in Zhao's mansion be so big..."

All the bones were burned to pieces, what kind of fire is this, terrible...

Occasionally, a brave little lady interjected in a low voice: "The fire alone probably only burned the clothes..." After a slight pause, she deliberately didn't mention that the fire would burn the skin and flesh , "However, burning all the bones and breaking them incompletely, this is a bit unreasonable..."

As soon as these words came out, some people who were good at questioning naturally added: "That's right, it's not like the fire is burning all the time, and it's not like the Zhao residence has no servants who are busy putting out the fire and watering it, so it shouldn't be like that!"

Immediately, another person recalled: "I have heard about the incident of the Zhao family five years ago. Although the Zhao family is quite miserable, I have heard that not to mention the neighbors on both sides of the Zhao family, it is the Zhao family's own. The house, except for that one, didn't seem to burn too badly. Later, the house was demolished and rebuilt for the sake of auspiciousness. Why do I think that when the fire started, although the noise was loud, the fire was not particularly big..."

"I don't know." The lady who said it with relish before shook her head in confusion, "But when you said that, I also remembered that it seemed to be that one house was the most burned down. It is said that there are no major problems in the house, which is also strange."

"Speaking of it, that fire was the weirdest." The little lady who had just stared at Zhao Junzhuo couldn't help but muttered, and immediately won the approval of everyone in the flower hall.

Under the peach blossom branch, Zhao Junzhuo had already turned around and walked slowly along the rain-shielded corridor.

Five years ago, although Zhao Junzhuo was the legitimate son of the Zhao family, his mother was weak and he was not liked by his father, and his father's favorite concubines gave birth to children one after another, but his grandfather turned a blind eye to the family affairs Eye.

At that time, Zhao Junzhuo thought that he needed to hide his clumsiness all the time, as long as he carefully protected his mother and elder sister, then he could plan for the future.Even if I suffered some grievances when I was young, as long as my mother and elder sister are still there, what does it matter?When he grows up, his wings will become fuller, and everything he endured when he was young will be repaid in full!

However, what Zhao Junzhuo didn't expect was that later, his elder sister Zhao Concubine was murdered, she was seriously ill with a cold, and it was almost impossible to save her.

The mother is also weak, because the matter of his sister Zhao Concubine is even more difficult to support. During that time, Zhao Junzhuo experienced the most obscure and unclear days, as if he could no longer see the way forward, and it was almost unbearable.

When my sister Zhao Concubine finally woke up, Aunt Liu wept with joy, but Zhao Junzhuo and Zhao Concubine were twin siblings, they had the closest relationship when they were still in the mother's womb, even the mother didn't notice it at all, but However, Zhao Junzhuo could faintly feel that his real sister, Concubine Zhao, should not be like that.

Even after going through life and death, his elder sister Zhao Concubine couldn't have changed so much...

It's just that at that time, Zhao Junzhuo couldn't even survive, so Zhao Junzhuo kept silent.

Later, there was a completely unexpected change for Zhao Junzhuo.

She died, and the father who spoiled his concubine and killed his wife also died.

Overnight, the old man of the Zhao family, who never cared about everything and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, was forced to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Seeing that his only son had passed away, only Zhao Junzhuo, the only heir and grandson, remained in the entire Zhao family. , his grandfather, the grandfather who always turned a blind eye to what happened to their mother and son, and indulged his son to dote on his concubine and kill his wife, finally could no longer just sit on the sidelines and ignore everything.

It's ridiculous to say that after his father died, his grandfather started to pay more attention to him.For Zhao Junzhuo, losing his father in his early years was the luckiest thing in his life.

His father is dead, he can live well, and his mother Liu Shi can also live well.

The only unfortunate thing is that his father, why didn't that man die by himself, but made her lose her life in vain...

The rain did not stop, and Zhao Junzhuo, who was already Mr. Pianpian, stood under the corridor with a sad look on his face.

She died, but he didn't even know her name.

Every time in Aniang's small Buddhist hall, he saw the memorial tablet of his sister Zhao Concubine, and sometimes, Zhao Junzhuo couldn't help but think that he had seen so many ghostly symbols that she had secretly burned, but he hadn't looked carefully at them all the time. Look, maybe there is her name in it.

In the end, he didn't even want to secretly set up a monument for her...

Before the banquet in the front hall was over, Yang Hui, who hid behind for a while, said a few more words to Princess Xianyi, and then returned to the front hall to continue entertaining today's guests.

After listening to the old stories of the Zhao family five years ago, whether it is Princess Xianyi or the other ladies and young ladies, they are all very excited. In addition, this story is still an unsolved case at the end, which is even more unforgettable. .

The little lady holding the round fan used the back of her hand to paste her cheeks that were a little hot from the shock of hearing the story. When she raised her head, she couldn't help but let out a low "Oh".

Zhao Junzhuo, who was just standing under the tree, had already gone far away. She was so focused on listening to the story just now that she didn't even notice it.

The little lady stomped her feet lightly. After hearing about the Zhao family's affairs, some people inevitably wanted to stay away from the Zhao family because of fear, and naturally some people became more and more curious about the Zhao family's past. .

A handsome young gentleman with stories and secrets on his body, naturally makes people more searchable, and people can't help but want to know, his past, which seems to be more bizarre than the storybook... …

After all, today is a happy event. Just because Princess Xianyi was also curious, a group of people said so many terrible things in the flower hall. After a moment of silence, someone took advantage of the trend to bring up another topic, and some people echoed and cheered. , the atmosphere in the flower hall became lively again.
