Chapter 221 The Peace of Mind Is My Hometown

Yang Dalang pinched Cheng Xia's nose amusedly, "Waiwai's thoughts are coming up again, right?"

"Then tell me, what's the relationship between Eucommia and you? If you don't stay in the capital to be his minister, you have to go all the way to Qingxian Village in the backcountry to drive a car for you. This friendship alone is enough for you. People are envious."

"You," Yang Dalang smiled dotingly, "Eucommia is my cousin, only one year younger than me. Duzhong's mother is also my aunt."

"Far or near?" The kinship of the ancient people is complicated, and people outside the five clothes can still be connected.

Listening to Cheng Xia's question, Yang Dalang suddenly smiled, "Darling, my grandfather only has three children, my father and two aunts. My father is the first, Du Zhong's mother is the second, and Concubine Shao is the youngest."

Cheng Xia nodded, "Did Du Zhong know your identity a long time ago?"

"No," Yang Dalang smiled, "Back when I left the capital with my nanny, I almost ran into someone who was following me. In a hurry, my nanny and I jumped into the river. The river was so fast that it saved our lives. But at that time, the river was piercing. , My body was still affected, and I would keep coughing constantly, but my grandma was fine. We walked all the way south without knowing where we were going. We walked for more than half a year, and finally settled in Qingxian Village. " Yang Dalang suddenly looked at Cheng Xia, "Do you know why we stayed in Qingxian Village in the end?"

Cheng Xia shook her head, wouldn't it be because the place is too poor and remote?

Yang Dalang chuckled, "Because no other place would take us in. The household registration system in the Ming Dynasty was very strict, and the population of each place was recorded in the book. If there is one more or one less, it will be subject to interrogation, so in some places Even if people see us as pitiful, they will not let us stay. Only Lizheng, when he saw us in rags and orphans and widows, felt very pitiful, and he also knew that we would not be able to carry on any longer, whether it was Tired or hungry, we exhausted our energy and stamina. Therefore, Lizheng found a headhunter Yang who had never been able to marry a wife in the village and was willing to marry a nanny for the nanny. In this way, we settled in Qingxian Village. And I have my own residence."

Cheng Xia suddenly had a sore nose, tears rolled down, she thought of the dead Grandpa Lizheng, such a good person, who gave Yang Dalang and her the greatest favor, such an old man deserves all the best in the world Pray, even after death, he will be among the immortals.

Yang Dalang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Cheng Xia's eyes, "On the day of Lizheng's funeral, you went to the top of the mountain, and I saw him off at a distance on the mountainside. Without him, I would not have met you, nor would I have met you." It is impossible to marry you."

"You continue first," Cheng Xia still had a lot to ask, and she wanted to hear Yang Dalang finish first.

"I have lived in Qingxian Village for more than ten years. Watching the nanny give birth to Erlang and Lihua, the gloom in her heart has dissipated a lot, and I feel a little more comfortable. The nanny's original husband is the nursing home of Shaofu. They Their son was only one year older than me, and he was also buried in the sea of ​​flames. I only found out later that after Wang Zhi and Wang Yue killed everyone in the Shao Mansion, they set fire to it, turning the Shao Mansion from a sea of ​​blood into a sea of ​​fire. The sea of ​​flames. Uncle Zhong, that is, Boss Shao you mentioned, the scars all over his body and face were left at that time, and the nanny's son and Xianggong also died in that fire."

"Then how did Boss Shao escape?" Cheng Xia asked.

"I don't know," Yang Dalang pursed his lips, "I haven't met him, I just heard it from Du Zhong."

"Then when did Eucommia know your whereabouts?"

"Five years ago," Yang Dalang closed the window, took Cheng Xia to the bed, took the quilt and covered her lap, "Wang Yue and Wang Zhi suspected that someone had escaped, but they only suspected me The grandfather and the two children who were taken away, the nanny and I did not attract their attention, so we were relatively comfortable for a while. At that time, I only went back to Yang’s house to sleep at night, and the rest of the time was either practicing martial arts or going to work. Inquire about Wang Yue and Wang Zhi's news. After Wang Zhi was demoted, he returned to his hometown and never came out. However, his mansion was well protected by Concubine Wan Gui. At that time, with my ability, I couldn't touch him at all But Wang Yue is different, he has never been restless in his hometown, or he is also cautious, dare not stay in one place for a long time, and is always in the process of change, so I can never find out his whereabouts until five years ago forward."

This is the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, Cheng Xia thought.

"Five years ago, I inadvertently learned that Wang Yue appeared in Fuzhou Mansion in Jiangxi. Fuzhou is not too far from Jianning, so I thought about killing him, but he was very cautious. At least, I failed to succeed, but it also hurt his tendons, and he could no longer display his martial arts. It was at that time that I accidentally met Du Zhong in Fuzhou, and he also came looking for Wang Yue. He didn't know who escaped back then, but he also knew that no one would let Wang Zhi and Wang Yue go, so he kept paying attention to the news of the two of them until he saw me sneaking into the place where Wang Yue lived. He followed me all the way to Qingxian Village, met the nanny, and thoroughly confirmed my identity before he showed up."

Yang Dalang chuckled, "He chased me all the way. It's not that I didn't find him, but I recognized him. This kid looks almost the same as when he was a child. And he was the one I had the best relationship with back then. Everyone in my family is partial to my brother and sister, only the eldest aunt, who is the mother of Du Zhong, is the only one who loves me, and she loves me from the bottom of her heart. She always asks me to go to Du's house. I know what my aunt is thinking. Du Zhong's temperament is too gloomy, and Du Zhong is too bright, my aunt hopes that Du Zhong and I will become more lively when we spend more time together."

Cheng Xia laughed suddenly, curled her lips, "Obviously it doesn't have much effect."

Yang Dalang wrapped her tightly, and continued, "My aunt knew that I was still alive, so she asked Du Zhong to accompany me all the time, and Du Zhong was also happy to be quiet, because my aunt always forced him to get married, so he happened to hide here. Hiding for five years. He would go back from time to time in the middle, and come back after a while, in his words, those confidante of his whorehouse can't see him, so they should empathize with him."

Cheng Xia laughed out loud, Du Zhong was such a bear, "Then why did he live in Huangdun Village?"

"Living with me will inevitably lead to suspicion, and there is a person named Du in Huangdun Village, that is, the little Du who has something to do with Lihua. And the most important thing is that the person in Huangdun Village is just a person who has an eye for money. I paid him 20 taels of silver, and he directly helped Du Zhong solve everything."

"That's why you went to Huangdun Village to copy books?" Cheng Xia snorted, and squeezed Yang Dalang unceremoniously, "You deceived me at that time."

Yang Dalang grabbed her mischievous little hand, "I didn't know anything about you at the time, how could I tell you the truth."

"Hmph!" Cheng Xia deliberately turned around to show his temper.

Yang Dalang wrapped her around her from behind, and whispered into her ear, "You're still talking about me, aren't you keeping your own secrets tightly covered?"

Uh, Cheng Xia suddenly made a face, asked her to say something, told Yang Dalang that she actually came from 500 years later? "Well, do you have any news about your brother and sister?"

Seeing that Cheng Xia changed the subject again, Yang Dalang smiled helplessly, "No, the only news I know is that he mentioned it when he met Du Zhong, my grandfather took his brother and sister to the northwest, as for now How, I don't know."

Cheng Xia nodded. His grandfather and elder brother's side probably didn't go as smoothly as he did. After all, Wang Zhi and Wang Yue only thought they had escaped them back then, and decided to send all the troops to follow them. Hey, but there is still hope. It's not.

Cheng Xia turned around and looked at Yang Dalang, and smiled, "Auspicious people have their own appearance, and they will be fine."

"En," Yang Dalang responded lightly.

The sky is high and the water is far away. At the moment when his grandfather passed by him with his brother and sister in his arms 16 years ago, as an abandoned person, he had no thoughts.The rivers and lakes are far away, let's be safe.

Cheng Xia suddenly sighed and looked at Yang Dalang, "It's unbelievable that I even married a prince and noble son."

Yang Dalang smiled when he saw her seriousness, "Then do you care?"

Cheng Xia nuzzled, "I don't care."

Don't worry about it, the history of the entire Ming Dynasty is familiar to her, let alone a prince, even an emperor, she doesn't care.How to say that sentence, I wish to have a person with one heart, and never leave each other. If you put aside your feelings, even if you raise her in the Forbidden City with red walls and green tiles, she will only feel that it is a confinement.

"But, if your Shao family can clean up their grievances in the future, will you return to the capital?" In fact, she really wanted to go to the capital.

Yang Dalang stared firmly into her eyes, not letting go of the slightest expression, "Do you want to go?"

"I want to hear your opinion."

Yang Dalang lowered his eyes, "But I think you really want to go."

Cheng Xia smiled, "I like Su Shi's words very much, and one of them is my favorite line: This place of peace of mind is my hometown. There is nowhere as peace of mind as being with you."

Yang Dalang suddenly pulled Cheng Xia into his arms and hugged him tightly, he was satisfied.

"Then what do you think?" Cheng Xia continued to ask.

"I did think about it before, but now, as long as I can kill Wang Yue, I have no regrets. At that time, we can go to various places, visit the capital, climb the Great Wall, and eat the specialties of the capital. "

Cheng Xia grinned, "You failed to kill Wang Yue this time, and it will probably be difficult in the future."

Yang Dalang was taken aback, "How do you know?"

How does she know?Because she knows history!

After the death of Nine Emperor Xianzong at the beginning of September, Xiaozong ascended the throne, and Wang Yue was about to be reinstated as an official. At that time, with military power in hand and the emperor's reliance, it would be difficult to get close to Wang Yue. It's even harder.

Cheng Xia sighed slightly and lay down on the bed with her hand as a pillow. She was thinking, if Wang Yue was reinstated as an official and stationed in the capital forever, would Yang Dalang go to the capital to seek revenge.According to Yang Dalang's temperament, if Wang Yue does not die, he will have no peace. It's just that this road is not easy to walk.

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Dalang lay beside Cheng Xia, holding her in his arms, seeing her frowning, he couldn't help asking worriedly.

Cheng Xia looked sideways at Yang Dalang, traced his eyebrows and eyes carefully, and said leisurely, "I was thinking, since you care about Wang Yue so much, I will take you to meet him tomorrow when he came to this seaside town. people."
