Scheme of the Official Descendant

Xia Sheng was a little darker than he had seen a few months ago. He was taller and stronger than Dong Sheng, who was a little boy. He had a sense of existence when he was crouching on the shaft of the carriage. He was not the coachman of his family, but rather a thug. Seeing that the master came out of the second gate, he jumped down from the shaft and stood beside the carriage.

Rong Shi said to the ladies and maids of the Lin family who had sent her out with Ren Yaoqi: "I'll give you a few words. You should leave first."

Rong's tone and manner are very gentle, but after all, she has been a pro princess, a word let a few servant girls say nothing, quickly salute and retreat.

Rong Shi then said to Ren Yao: "Dongsheng came back in the middle of the night yesterday."

Ren Yao's heart moved. He came back in the middle of the night yesterday. Today, Rong's family came to find her with Dongsheng? Originally, she and Rong said that she would find a chance to visit her. If so, why not wait until then? After all, according to Rong's usual style, he would not come to the Lin family.

Is there something important to tell her?

Ren Yaoqi can't help but take a look at Xia Sheng, but Xia Sheng's face, which is unchangeable for thousands of years, has no expression.

However, Rong Shi touched Ren Yao's head, and his face gradually became serious: "the Han family is afraid that it is not as simple as it seems."

Ren Yao period hears speech a startle, immediately way: "what did Xia Sheng check this time?"

Rong looked at Xia Sheng. Xia Sheng lowered his head and said, "Han Dongshan did stay in the south of the Yangtze River, but he was not from the south of the Yangtze River. He left Yanzhou with Yanbei people who went south to hide from Liao people. He was less than ten years old when he left. He stayed in Chuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River until he was 17 years old before he returned to Yanbei because of the famine. Han Dongshan said to the public that he was from Shangzhuang village, Zhuqiao Town, Chuzhou. I went to Zhuqiao town this time and found that there was a plague in the vicinity of Chuzhou after the famine. Because many people in Shangzhuang village were infected with diseases, they were ordered by the state officials at that time to seal the village, and no one survived in the end. "

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the way local officials treat the villages where most of the people are infected with the disease is to block the villages from contacting the outside and let them live and die on their own. Because once the epidemic disease is infected, nine out of ten people will lose their lives, and there is no possibility of diagnosis and treatment. However, as a result, no one in the villages who have been infected with the disease can survive, and the whole village people will eventually get sick and die, and then be burned by a fire.

"From whom did you confirm Han Dongshan's identity?" Ren Yao asked.

"Although Shangzhuang town was gone, Han Dongshan was not the only one who escaped before the epidemic. I didn't want to see the inscription on the bridge when I passed a newly built stone bridge on the original site of Shangzhuang town. It turned out that the bridge was built by a businessman in memory of his ancestors. His father was from Shangzhuang village. His father left home with the uncle of the peddler after the drought and locust plague. The younger one went to the businessman, whose father is still alive

Xia Sheng pauses, and then says, "the old man is about the same age as Han Dongshan. The younger one roughly describes Han Dongshan's appearance and asks him whether he knows the people who came from Yanbei. I don't want him to insist that the man mentioned in his small mouth is his childhood partner. His name is not Dongshan Xishan, but zuge'er."

"Zugor?" Ren Yao frowned, "what's your family name?"

Xia Sheng shook his head: "this grandbrother was at the foot of Shangzhuang village with a woman named Li Niang. Li Niang called him zuge'er, and the old man didn't know their surnames. Li Niang made some money by helping others when she was busy farming. She was very poor. Later, when he was older, he would herd cattle. Li Niang called zuge'er his son, but the old man said that once when he went to see his grandbrother, he heard Li Niang call zuge'er

"After all these years, can he still remember that?"

"He said he couldn't remember if he was someone else, but it was very special for mother and son. In addition to their Yanzhou accent, although zuge'er grew up to do some work like the children in the village, his hands and face were always clean. He didn't fight or go to the river to take a bath and fish with others. Because of his beautiful appearance, some people suspected that he was a girl doll. What's more strange is that sometimes they are so poor that they can't even open the pot. However, Li Niang still insists on letting her grandparents go to private school. When she can't hand in her bundle, Li Niang goes to wash, cook, sew and mend for the teacher. She makes a lot of gossip, and the same goes on. Later, many women in the village want to drive them away with brooms. But Li Niang later had a disease and died. Soon after the disaster in Chuzhou, zuge'er fled Shangzhuang village alone. After he left, someone secretly went to the house where they lived before. They wanted to try their luck to find out something to eat. However, it turned out that under the bed board of the bed where Li Niang lived, a straw puppet with blood stained curse was found. It was strange that the name on the straw puppet was not from Shangzhuang village. "

Ren Yaoqi looks at Xia Sheng: "whose name is on the straw puppet?"

It's a popular mantra in Yanbei area to curse the enemy by planting grass. People born in Yanbei know it. Even Ren yaoyu, who grew up in boudoir, used it before.

However, unless it is a deep blood feud, no one will use blood on the straw puppet. At most, it is pricked with a needle. Because the blood sacrifice will make the person who casts the curse be devoured, which is equivalent to the death of the enemy.Xia Sheng said: "it was a disaster year at that time. I couldn't eat enough food. So the villagers who found the grass puppet were scared. After that, no one in the village paid attention to it. However, some brave teenagers in the village ran to see it because they were curious. At that time, some literate people recognized those words, but it's a pity that after so many years, that person can't remember them clearly." Speaking of this, Xia Sheng looked up at Ren Yaoqi and said, "I have no way, so I try to ask if the name of the person above is Ren. It took him a long time to think about it. It seems that he is really a Ren."

Xia Sheng was cautious when he asked that question. When he got a positive answer, he was scared.

"but it is not accurate. He is not young, and there are some mistakes in his memory." Xia Sheng sees Ren Yaoqi does not speak, and thinks it is frightening her.

After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "but it's a coincidence that I saw the bridge and found the person who built it. Besides, nobody knows the bottom of Han Dongshan. It's said that there were still several people who left Shangzhuang village with Han Dongshan and went northward, but they didn't leave any trace in Yanbei." Han Dongshan has lived in Chuzhou for so many years. Since no one knows his roots, it is a strange thing in itself.

When Xia Sheng finished this paragraph, no one spoke. They stood under the shadow of a locust tree. The mottled and swaying light spots projected on Ren Yaoqi's face, which made her look bright and dim, so that people could not see clearly.

Rong's gentle voice made Ren Yaoqi come back from his meditation: "if you want to have a family, the most taboo is not knowing the root cause. Han family has been growing up in Jizhou for generations. There is no problem with this. It's just Han Dongshan It's not simple. I'm afraid there are some problems with his real origin. I came here today to remind you that on the Dragon Boat Festival, I saw that Ren's family and Han's family were very close. I heard that the two families still meant to get married. " Speaking of this, Rong sighed, "unfortunately, I can't say this in front of your grandparents, but I'll send a letter to your mother."

If Rong's family talks about these things in front of Ren's family, the first thing the old lady of Ren's family thinks is that the xianwangfu has ulterior motives, interferes in the marriage of Ren's children and implicates the third wife. What's more, Ren Jiafei will not believe what Rong said. Maybe he will let Ren family sell out the news that the people of Xianwang's house will leave Yanbei at will, which will put the xianwangfu in danger.

Ren Yaoqi understood Rong's meaning and nodded: "I know, grandmother, you don't have to worry too much."

Rong Shi, however, touched Ren Yao's head again and lovingly said, "you are a smart and good child." Rong knew that the affair of Zha Han Dongshan was made by Ren Yao to Xia Sheng. He didn't want to find out some signs.

Ren Yao period smiles at Rong Shi and looks at Xia Sheng: "this time, it's lucky that the bitter summer has been born."

Xia Sheng is still standing aside with his hands tied. He is a man with a dull nature and few words. He doesn't know how to respond to Ren Yaoqi's praise, but says nothing.

Rong patted Ren Yaoqi's hand and sighed, "if you encounter anything, send a letter. You are young, and many things can't be solved by yourself."

Ren Yaoqi nodded his head cleverly. Seeing that the matter was almost explained, Rong said goodbye to Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi personally helped Rong's family into the carriage.

When the curtain came down, Xia Sheng suddenly said, "Miss watch, I brought you two people back this time, but it's not convenient to bring them here today."

Ren Yaoqi is stunned, and then remembers that before Xia Sheng left, she said that she wanted Xia Sheng to teach her some servant girls who knew martial arts.

Xia Sheng scratched his head with a whip: "these two girls were bought from a street juggling team, because they had to practice basic skills since they were young, and they would learn faster. Otherwise, it would be too late to find younger children to start practicing. If you think you can teach the younger ones, if you dislike that they are from a bad family background, you can look for them again. "

Ren Yaoqi said with a smile, "since you have brought them back, it shows that they have good qualifications. Let sister Chu help me see how people are. From birth As long as there's no trouble in the future. "

Chu is standing on one side has not yet got on the bus, smell speech toward Ren Yao period a smile nodded: "watch Miss rest assured."

Ren Yao was really relieved.
