Yanmenchun

Chapter 1

White lanterns were hung in Zhenbeihou's mansion.

Three days ago, the eight-hundred-mile fast horse came back to report the letter, Zhenbeihou and his wife died in Mobei and died for the country.

Mobei was an important fortress in the previous dynasties, and it had been fighting with the Huns for many years.

Several generations of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion have guarded Mobei, and this generation is the last generation.

Shen Tuchan and her elder brother Shentu Danlin knelt in the mourning hall and burned paper money numbly, thanking the gift.

Shen Tuchan couldn't help but take a slow look at her elder brother Shentu Danlin beside him, he was sixteen years old, with delicate features and thin figure.

She couldn't help sighing in her heart, tears fell down on her pale filial piety, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The other cousins ​​were all tearful, sobbing so hard that even my brother couldn't speak a word from his crying voice.

Shen Tuchan did not make a sound from the beginning to the end, gritted her teeth and wept, her clothes and sleeves were wet.

Mama Kong, who was beside her grandmother, came over and said that grandma asked her to come over. Mama Kong was an old man who had been with her for decades, and she had always treated her well. When she left the mourning hall, Mama Kong took her cold hand and comforted her, saying, "You've done your best." Filial piety is enough, crying like this is too much for the body, and there is the old lady."

Shen Tuchan didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

There is a small Buddhist hall in Grandma's Heshou Hall, and she has been here these days, in fact, most of her previous days were also here.

The old lady is in her sixties, and her hair has always been well maintained, but in the past few days, her hair has turned gray.

Mother Kong took her and went down, Shen Tuchan knelt down on the futon, and grandmother didn't stop chanting the scriptures with words.

Usually, following her grandmother's teachings and making the old man happy, she followed suit, but this time, she quietly looked at the old lady's white hair in a trance.

The old lady stopped after reading, Shen Tuchan was still in a daze, she sighed and glanced at the granddaughter, tears fell down, she hurriedly wiped them with her sleeve.

Then he slowly leaned over and held Shentuchan in his arms, "My good boy." It seemed to be talking about Shentuchan, and it seemed to be talking about his son Shentulang.

Shen Tuchan gently leaned her head on her grandmother, she took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, don't cry, I will avenge my father."

The thirteen-year-old girl spoke with a milky voice of gnashing her teeth.

The old lady hugged her even tighter, and wept bitterly. The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man. After all, her heart is not as strong as it was when she was young.

Shen Tuchan gritted her teeth and wept silently.

Mother Kong was in tears when she heard it at the door. The eldest lady is worthy of the door, but unfortunately she is a girl. This Zhenbeihou Mansion will no longer be Zhenbeihou Mansion.

The third master in the mansion was born to the old lady, and he served as a fourth-rank official as the Taifu Shaoqing; the second master was a concubine, and only one was a doctor of the Ministry of Rites of the fifth rank; The Lord and Mrs. Hou Ye died for the country, and there is not even a pillar in this mansion.

Shen Tuchan cried with her grandmother, not daring to let the old man cry for too long, so she hurriedly wiped her tears and sat down.

The old lady also touched the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and sat back on the futon, wiped away her tears, calmed down for a while, and then slowly said the purpose of calling her here.

A servant came to deliver the queen's oral order, declaring that Tu Chan would enter the palace in seven days; seven days later, three days after the coffin was buried.This is grace, her parents lost suddenly, which shows the royal family's care and love for her.

There is no room for rejection in this kind of thing, Shen Tuchan only asked softly: "Are you asking me to go with you or ask me to go by myself?"

The old lady patted her head, "She said she wanted you to accompany Princess Thirteen, don't worry too much."

Shen Tuchan nodded in response.

The thirteenth princess is the emperor's daughter, named Ningguo, and she is the only princess among the princesses who is named by the country.

Shen Tuchan accompanied her grandmother to eat some fast food and then returned to her Qingfengyuan. She knelt before her parents' spirits for three days. She should have been exhausted, but maybe because she had something hidden in her heart, she didn't feel tired at all.

The maidservant came up to help her take off her white filial piety gown. She went inside to her small study room. There was only a pair of large bookshelves packed with books in a messy and dense manner. She took out a book from the bottom floor. This book contains a picture.

The picture is already a little yellowed, and the corners are also hairy.

The close maid Xiaoman came in with tea, seeing that she was looking at the picture by herself without stopping, she went straight in and put the tea away lightly, after she hesitated for a while, she still didn't go out.

Shen Tuchan didn't raise her head, she just stared at the little sketch of Mobei Border Gate, and the Yanmen Gate was just a small ink dot on it.

A stick of incense is gone.Only then did Shen Tuchan let out a long breath, not a sigh, but like a fire burning in her chest, trying to spit out the smoke.She picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, and her expression just returned to normal.

She glanced at Xiaoman: "What's the matter?"

Xiaoman moved two steps in front of her before saying: "Miss Sisi sent you a message asking when you will be free, she will come to see you."

Miss Feng Yingru's Xiaozi Sisi is the eldest daughter of Dali Temple Minister Feng Yuan'an, and her mother is the head of Huixin County, a royal family.

"Then let her come to see me when I come back from the palace." Shen Tuchan opened the pearl curtain and entered the inner room.

Zhenbei Hou and his wife were buried, and the matter was half over, and the other half was the succession of the prince.

The eldest son, Shentu Danlin, has neither a wife nor a marriage contract. Once the three-year filial piety is over, he will be nineteen years old. A Jin man with seventeen haircuts, nineteen years old is not too old.In this way, he is the youngest Marquis of Dajin.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when she entered the palace, and the maidservants changed Shentuchan into the plain clothes they had prepared in advance. A thirteen-year-old girl is still a little girl, but the spring equinox is Shentuchan's big girl. She is seventeen years old this year, so she arranges to comb her hair The servant girl combed the master with a pair of flat hairpins, and put a light yellow temple flower on her hairpin.

Shen Tuchan nodded in satisfaction, she only planned to bring Chunfen and Xiaoman into the palace.Chun Equinox was given to her by her mother, stable and general, Xiao Man grew up with her, and she has good skills; the other six girls also take care of her house affairs, but they don't have such affection.

The carriage had to stop at the gate of the palace, and the Empress sent a sedan chair to pick her up.
