Yun Fenghuan let out a long breath, feeling that the fall of the Xie clan was a bit confusing, and it may not be hiding the truth that he can't understand.

Helplessly, the Xie family's family is weak, no matter how much she is favored, in the end, a palace concubine, she can't reach out her hand very much, let alone the frontier.

However, if you really want to know more information, it seems that she is not a person she doesn't know in the Dingbei Army......

Thinking of Qi Jiulu, Yun Fenghuan's face was complicated.

Since she rejected him back then, she has made up her mind that no matter how far she has fallen in this life, she will never look for him again.

But the relationship was huge, and the Xie clan collapsed......

Concubine Min thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed, but still ruthlessly snuffed out her plan to contact Qi Jiulu.

Although she felt that even if Qi Jiulu changed her mind, with the familiarity of the two of them in the past, she could guess one or two and make judgments, but ...... This man has done so much for her, and if she drags him into the water again at this time, the only remaining conscience will really be unbearable.

It's just that she stopped thinking about looking for Qi Jiulu, and within two days, a messenger came under the banner of Xie Wuzheng, and after taking a photo, she motioned to her to retreat with her eyes before revealing the truth, saying that it was sent by Qi Jiulu.

"Since this palace has retired from the Qi family, there has been no contact between the two families, what did he let you do?" Yun Fenghuan looked at the token that the other party took out, and recognized that it was indeed Qi Jiulu's belongings in his early years, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly, after all, not to mention whether Qi Jiulu had changed from love to hate for himself over the years, he said that Qi Jiulu's wife Chao Jingyou was an old rival with her.

Even if Qi Jiulu doesn't like this wife, but both of them have daughters, Chao Jingyou will not even be able to get a few things from him.

The Chao clan was rebelled by the emperor and made great contributions in the fall of the Ji clan.

Who knows if he wants to take advantage of this opportunity and take the handle of Yun Fenghuan to expose Chunjia?

Therefore, Yun Fenghuan's expression was cold, and he only said, "No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with this palace, so you can go down." ”

The messenger was not surprised, took two steps forward, and whispered: "Niangniang, is your moon-white crepe firefly still there?" ”

"......" Yun Fenghuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but it was impossible for Chao Jingyou to know about this, unless, Qi Jiulu and Chao Jingyu released their suspicions, and the husband and wife came to pit her.

Otherwise, even if Chao Jingyou heard that Qi Jiulu was catching fireflies at night, it would be impossible to know such details as the moon-white crepe.

She was silent for a moment, and finally said, "What did he ask you to do?" Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with it? ”

The messenger said slowly: "If it is an ordinary matter, I naturally dare not disturb Niangniang. It's just that it is related to the lives of many people up and down the Xie family, even if I don't mention the past relationship between my son-in-law and my mother, and the friendship between the Xie family and the Qi family has always been in Huizhou, my son-in-law does not dare to stay out of the matter. ”

Yun Fenghuan motioned for him to continue.

"Presumably, with Niangniang's intelligence, she has already noticed that the city of Huizhou was broken before, and the Xie clan suffered extremely heavy losses, far exceeding the other clans." The envoy whispered, "Actually, before this matter was reported to the imperial capital, it was discovered in Huizhou. It was inconvenient for my son-in-law to come forward at that time, so he could only inform the head of the Jiang family in private, that is, your in-law and eldest uncle Jiang Yi. Ask him to come forward to seek justice for the Xie family......"

Jiang Yi is the eldest brother of Yun Fenghuang's biological mother Jiang Kuang, who is six or seven years older than Jiang Kuang, and the brother and sister have a very good relationship, after all, the old lady of the Jiang family is famous for teaching children, and the children under her knees have not had a bad time after they get married.

Not to mention the son, the daughter is like Jiang Kuang, even if she is not loved by her husband, she firmly holds the power of the back house, and then affects the front, has a very high status in her husband's family, and has an excellent reputation outside.

Such an old lady naturally wouldn't let her own flesh and blood have anything to do.

When Xie Fengfang's matter came out, Jiang Yi was the first to stand up and support his sister and niece, and his statement greatly alleviated the pressure faced by the mother and daughter at that time.

Later, because the Qi family still retired from the family, Jiang Kuang was worried that his daughter would stay in the north, even if she and the Jiang family had the protection, she would have to be wronged everywhere, if she survived for three or two years, she still couldn't say that she was a good family, but she wasted her youth in vain, and even delayed for a lifetime, and finally decided to send her daughter to the sister-in-law's house in Dijing for foster care, looking for Ruyi Langjun in Dijing. It's just that Jiang Kuang is not very familiar with Xie's family, although he knows Xie's temperament, he is not the kind of person who has one thing on the surface and one behind the other, but fostering children is not the same thing as being a guest temporarily. I can't help but feel a little uneasy.

For this reason, she went back to her parents' house and discussed it repeatedly with the old lady of the Jiang family, as well as Jiang Yi and others.

At that time, Jiang Yi once reminded his sister: "Although your family has been pampered since childhood, your teaching treatment is the same as that of a son-in-law, so even if you are still young now, you have nothing to say about your appearance and bearing. If it weren't for what your concubine provoked, even if this child married into those famous families of the old ministers, in my opinion, he would not be unable to hold on. It's just that the child is only twelve years old, if he is suppressed everywhere from now on, ridiculed and ridiculed everywhere, and it is not good to talk back, otherwise it will become more and more solid that you will not be able to raise the child, and the two girls have not been taught well. When the time comes, I am afraid that the temperament and state of mind that I have painstakingly cultivated in the past 12 years will be wasted! ”

"If it's sent to the imperial capital, no one over there knows the ins and outs. Even if there is some suppression, with the intelligence of the child, it may not be impossible to deal with it. ”

"It's better than staying in Huizhou, and from then on you can only swallow your anger to the end and dare not fight back."

These words persuaded the old lady of the Jiang family, who was not very reluctant to let her stay away, to follow Jiang Kuang......

Yun Fenghuan's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then he continued to ask: "Uncle can come out like this?" ”

The messenger whispered: "Naturally, he will not refuse, and he has found many places and many people have asked. He even raised the name of the county horse...... It's just that in the chaos of the army, there is no evidence left, and in the end, Jingning Hou personally came forward and explained to the head of the Jiang family that Niangniang is deeply favored and has a reputation for both talent and appearance, and it is also widely known! Wei Su is despicable and shameless, and the soldiers are in Huizhou, so after breaking the city, he is most interested, naturally...... Naturally, he is a member of the Xie clan. It's just that the Xie family is strong, and when the city is broken, almost all the female dependents of the clan will be on the Death Guard Day! Wei Su failed to get his wish, so he became angry and targeted Xie Shi ......"

Yun Fenghuang interrupted him: "Even if Wei Su has this heart, do they know those many Xie clan people? It is the daughter of the palace who left when the Xie family was twelve years old, in addition to the main branch, the side branch is far away, and if you don't carefully describe the genealogy for the first half of the day, the palace may not recognize her family! Moreover, on the side of the main branch, they only recognize their own bloodline, but the servants are only familiar with the close servants of the same clan who usually come and go. Why are even the children and teenagers taken away by the faithful servants not spared? ”

This is not something that Wei Su, who is not familiar with life, can do at all!

The ...... envoy hesitated, it was the kind of embarrassment that he didn't know how to express, and he settled down before he said, "Niangniang forgives the little bluntness: The Xie family has such an experience, but even the head of the Jiang family did not make a big deal about it, in fact, it is actually because among the people who sacrifice the city, there are the children of the Xie family's distant branches. ”

"This palace knows about this, do you mean, it was the distant branch disciple who betrayed the great Xie clan?" Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "What is he doing this?" If the Xie family is here, although he will not be spared from this move, his parents, wife and children may still have the family to take care of him. Now that the Xie family is gone, he is alone, is there any good end?! Or, did the Xie clan do something sorry for him, so that he thought in his heart that he wanted to eradicate the Xie clan like this?! ”

As for the latter possibility, to be honest, Yun Fenghuang doesn't believe it.

Because it has only been ten years since she left the Xie family at the age of twelve, the head of the family is still her own grandfather, and presumably everything in the clan is about the same as before.

Just look at the ancestral teachings of the Xie family, they are not harsh on their own clan.

After all, they are counting on the governor to go on for a long time, so if they don't entrap their family members well, isn't they waiting for other families to climb on their heads?

Moreover, the Xie family has not had any contradictions over the years, and the main money has a surplus, and he often helps to make up for the distant expenses. The relationship between them is generally harmonious, as for the private grievances, it is inevitable that there will be more people, but it is probably a matter of old sesame seeds and rotten grains, or a dispute of will, and there is no kind of grievance that does not share the sky.

If there is, the elders of the clan are not dry meals, and they will inevitably come forward.

The messenger sighed: "This is my son-in-law who asked the younger one to explain to the mother: do you remember that at the beginning, my son-in-law was ordered to sweep the northland and eliminate the bandits?" At that time, my son-in-law received a notice, and someone from the Xie family was also involved. Childe's duty at that time was handled impartially. ”

"Hongu knows." Yun Fenghuang's heart jumped, and he said, "This matter, Bengong thinks, and anyone who is sensible will not blame him." ”

She really didn't blame Qi Jiulu.

Even if this incident made her a little shameless at the time...... However, Yun Feng Huang still has to say that the Xie family is prosperous, so it is difficult not to have a mixed situation, and what some blood-related clansmen do, Yun Feng Huang himself wants to clean up the portal.

The envoy smiled bitterly: "The children of the Xie family who dedicated the city were the ones when the bandits were arrested...... Remnant! In fact, at that time, that man should have been taken to prison, but his father died early, and his mother only had two sons under his knees. Huizhou Assassin History, as well as Gongzi, know in his heart, but they are indeed pure filial piety when they do a lot of evil, and they are interrogated several times, and see that their eldest brother refused to change his confession, and the court had an urge at that time, so he beheaded his eldest brother, and after beating him in court, he was put back. ”

"When the man returned, he served his widowed mother with all his heart."

"I heard that the main branch of the Xie clan still has teachings, and of course I also sent some firewood and rice to the past."

"Anyway, no one noticed anything wrong at the time, and after a while, I didn't care."

Who would have thought that this person would turn his head and contact Wei Su, and even sell the entire Huizhou and his family?

When the city was broken and the huge family fled in all directions, trying to identify the Xie clan people from the chaos, this could not even be done by the unsuspecting Yun Fenglian, the daughter of the main branch, even if it was Xie Wuzheng Xie Drizzle, it was estimated that it would not work. It can be seen that the man had such malice a long time ago, and wrote down the appearance of the main branch up and down in advance, and even the mount.

"Marquis Jingning's side has broken this point, and the head of the Jiang family is not good to deal with the Dingbei Army anymore." The messenger continued, "I can only consult with my son-in-law and find out what is going on in private. The Lord was not harsh on the orphan and widow, and when the brother was young, he was exempted from rent, and he received a subsidy during the New Year's holidays. Later, when they reached the age of age, they went to the family school for two days. It's just that the brothers are not reading materials, and according to the rules of the clan, they are not allowed to continue. ”

After all, studying at this time is extremely expensive.

Not to mention the Xie family, even the Luo clan and the Yin clan, the too remote tribe, it is impossible to guarantee that all the clansmen can go to school.

Therefore, although a rural family like the Xie family has a family study, only the main branch is the main branch who is forced to teach their children.

Yes, like Xie Fengfang, even if it is Xie Jian's biological daughter, because she is a concubine, if it weren't for the Jiang family to use her as an archway, she would not be qualified to be taught.

There is only a concubine like Yun Fenghuang, regardless of whether the Jiang family believes that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, according to the rules of the Xie family, when she is old, she must be sent to the clan middle school hall for enlightenment.

As for the side branches, the family background is okay, and they pay for it themselves, and they can send as much as they like to the clan to learn. Those with poor family backgrounds will be subsidized by the main support when they reach the age, and they will also be sent in for two days, but once they perform badly and are considered not to be this material, they will be quickly sent away, so as not to waste the manpower and material resources of the school and delay the more talented children.

It may not be so fair, but it is not possible to have the main branch of the Hsieh family bear all the expenses of the side branches.

And at such a time, reading is an opportunity for a small number of people.

After the two brothers were sent away by the school, according to the tacit understanding passed down from generation to generation, the elders gave them some messengers to try, so that they could serve their old mothers and save some money to prepare for marriage.

But: "The two brothers are stubborn by nature and refuse to learn well, Xie has done many serious industries with them, and even saw that they are so brave and ruthless, and they once wanted to recommend them to the main branch to be a family member......"

Don't look at the family as a subordinate, for the distant branch, being able to be an errand for the main branch is actually a fat shortage.

Especially when the master who is sent is favored by the main branch and has a great future, it is necessary to fight for the head.

Because of their own people, as long as they have some talents, the main branch will definitely not be stingy with rewards and reuse.

Promotion is not at all comparable to outsiders and family children.

In the end, they are the same people who are serious children.

Yun Fenghuang listened quietly, the envoy said in great detail, the two brothers were a little unruly, and they were unwilling to endure hardships, in short, they were willing to try the regular business recommended by the elders at first, but then they lost interest. I was idle all day long, and when I ran out of money, I borrowed everywhere, and even borrowed money outside a few times under the banner of a wealthy family of the same clan...... In the end, the clan came forward to help solve it, and of course, after the solution was completed, it was necessary to beat and scold for a while.

At that time, I didn't find that they had such a ruthless mind, otherwise, the clan was not stupid, and it was impossible to say that they would let it go.

Anyway, after wandering for a while, almost fourteen or fifteen years ago, they suddenly got the money from somewhere, and they suddenly became prosperous, not only pushed down the original ancestral house and started a new house, but also bought two little girls to serve the widowed mother.

The more wealthy ones have added a lot of use to the clan.

When the clansmen were surprised, they had to ask why, they only said that they made money by doing business with people, as for how they made it, with whom they did business, and what kind of business they did...... But they were all silent.

"Now that I think about it, I should have been reckless at that time, but the brothers also have some skills, and they do things without leakage, who would have thought that much?" The messenger sighed, "Anyway, everyone was curious for a while, and when they saw that they refused to speak, they were afraid that they would be robbed of their wealth, so they didn't inquire." ”

After that, the two brothers have made progress one after another, and their family background looks more and more solid, not only to raise their widowed mother to a higher level, but also to say that the girl who stands out in the township is his wife, and he is living a prosperous life.

It's just that on that day, Qi Jiulu came to the door to get people, and only then did they know that the children of the Xie side branch that they had envied for many years had been bandits outside for many years.

"Fourteen or fifteen years ago......," Yun Fenghuang said thoughtfully, "Isn't that before and after Your Majesty ascended the throne?" ”
