I am fish

Xie Fuchen was really going to die, and what he thought and said at the moment before he died were all true feelings, and Zhen Wenjun could feel it.The former great Sima who commanded a hundred thousand troops to besiege the Forbidden Garden seemed to have a lot of things to say to him, but although she was invited, Xie Fuchen didn't know why he didn't say all he wanted, he had reservations.

Xie Fuchen's strange attitude and the slight discrepancy between the two populations about the death of his mother both confused Zhen Wenjun.

Deep in her heart, there were some invisible details that wanted to break through the ground. She stepped on the first golden light of Runing City and ran all the way to the top of Xishan Mountain. After searching around, she finally found the two trees that Xie Fuchen mentioned. Cypress trees, there really is a lonely small mound among the cypress trees, I saw the letter: Tomb of my old friend Aqiong.

Aqiong?

Zhen Wenjun leaned forward, this tombstone was newly erected, and on the blue stone tablet there were only six characters Li Fang Dun Yuan.

She knelt down and leaned against her grandmother's tombstone, gently stroking: "Aunt..."

Although she has long accepted the fact that her grandmother is not alive, she is still very sad when she really sees her grandmother's tombstone.Grandmother stayed in Ru Ning alone like this, and she was so close to her, but she failed to take a look.There are thousands of words but I can't say a word stuck in my throat.

We were forced to say goodbye that day, but seeing each other today is already separated by yin and yang.

Zhen Wenjun hugged her mother's tombstone and cried for a long time. After the sadness in her heart had vented unreservedly, she wiped away the tears from her face.Carefully looking at the six words "the tomb of the old friend A Qiong", thinking secretly.

Is "Aqiong" the small characters of Grandma?Why would Xie Fuchen know?Most of the women in Dayu do not have proper names, and they are mostly called by their surnames, such as Wei and Xie.If you love your children, you will use small characters to call them. A Xin and A Liao are all small characters, and they are mostly used for people who are close to them.Women's small characters are generally not told to strangers casually, let alone engraved on the tombstone with the small characters of the deceased.

As for "A Lai", it was chosen by the Xie family in Suichuan in order to use her well, so my mother also agreed that she didn't want to give her a decent name.Even though my mother is a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, it is not difficult for her to come up with a good name.Grandma always wanted to protect her by her side, she didn't want her to show her talents, even the people around Xie's house were wary of her.When Alai was young, he didn't understand many things, but he was obedient.But looking back now, Grandma has always been on guard, guarding against someone who would steal her hidden "treasure".So she wanted to keep a low profile, but in order to guard this secret, she tried her best to cultivate a successor, and this successor was her daughter.

Recalling Xie Fuchen's attitude in the prison just now, it seems that he has known his grandmother long ago, if so, his strange behavior can be explained.What entanglement did the two have in the past? Why did the mother thank the family in Suichuan?Could it be that Grandma did it on purpose?She didn't want to be discovered by Xie Fuchen, but she had to be close to Xie's house for a special reason, so she chose Xie's house in Suichuan as a cover.I wanted to hibernate secretly, but I didn't expect that Xie Taixing's human face and animal heart would defile her and give birth to a daughter?

Is that so?

Zhen Wenjun sat in front of the tomb, staring at the word "A Qiong".

Zhen Wenjun always knew that there was a secret hidden in the identity of his mother.For Alai back then, Grandma was Grandma, no matter what secrets Grandma wanted to keep from her, she would not ask.It's just that she didn't expect that Grandma's life experience would be related to Xie Fuchen. The surname "Xiaoshi" is most likely a pseudonym, a pseudonym used to hide her identity, and her real name is "Aqiong".

Zhen Wenjun felt that she was walking in a cloud of fog. This fog came from more than ten years ago. She tried to find a correct way out of the fog. Along the way, there were secrets about her mother and the mystery of her life experience. .There was a blurry outline in the mist, and every time she tried to run up to catch it in her hand, it disappeared into thin air in her palm...

Zhen Wenjun was not reconciled, she always felt that she had touched the core, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

What exactly is it……

Zhen Wenjun covered his face, and went through the details of when she was forced to become a master, to see if there were any key clues that were missed.

Mr. Yunmeng.

Mr. Yunmeng?

Zhen Wenjun raised her head, she thought of Mr. Yunmeng.

This Mr. Yunmeng must be on the spot every time there is a major turning point in the incident.The first time was when Xie Taixing severed three fingers of his grandmother and threatened her to pretend to be Zhen Wenjun.The second time was even more unbelievable. After she changed her appearance and entered Xie's house, Mr. Yunmeng actually told her about his mother's death without knowing it.It seemed that everything was a windfall she encountered on her way forward, so she never doubted it, but what if Mr. Yunmeng knew her identity early in the morning?

Thinking of this, Zhen Wenjun stood up "shua", his face pale.

That's right, this Mr. Yunmeng is very suspicious.

Zhen Wenjun lingered on the top of Xishan Mountain, anxious, carefully recalling what Mr. Yunmeng had done.

Judging from Zhen Wenjun's knowledge now, Mr. Yunmeng's resourcefulness is superior to that of Xie Taixing.Xie Taihang was a cowardly man who would run away as soon as he was beaten by refugees, and his virtue was not worthy of having a counselor like Yunmeng; in terms of official rank, which of the small Suichuan local officials with great ambitions and counselors would be willing to be his retainer and staff?How did Xie Taihang, who was quite inferior in terms of power and conduct, face his mother's three fingers cut off on the cold river?He didn't even dare to look directly.

She suddenly remembered the scene she accidentally ran into at Xie's house in Suichuan that day:

Grandma said, "Okay, I promise you."

"Oh?" Mr. Yunmeng seemed a little surprised by her answer.

"However, in exchange, you have to promise me one thing."

What did Mr. Yunmeng and his mother agree on that day?Zhen Wenjun didn't know.Grandma has gone, and now the only person who can give her an answer is Mr. Yunmeng.

Xie Taixing has no courage and no plan, and it is absolutely impossible for him to support such a major event as the assassination of Wei Tingxu.Xie Taihang is just a pawn, a puppet manipulated by others.

Could it be Mr. Yunmeng who really hid behind the scenes and encouraged him to bewitch him?

Mr. Yunmeng didn't look like the real envoy either. Like Yan Ye, he had only one arm and a knife.Who is his master?Is it Xie Fuchen?If it was Xie Fuchen, why did Xie Fuchen pick up Aunt on the way?He can control Grandma by himself from the very beginning, can't he?What's more, Xie Fuchen said that he had never seen his mother because he was busy, and he seemed to regret it very much.This is reasonable, Xie Fuchen's opponents are Wei Lun and Li Yanyi, and there are five hundred if not thousands of secret agents in the huge enemy camp. Zhen Wenjun is just one of them, and Aunt is also the smallest pawn. There is no reason for Xie Fuchen to Ask yourself.Yan Ye was in charge of the connection from beginning to end.Yan Ye seemed to be loyal to Xie Fuchen and even died for him, he couldn't see anything tricky about it.

All the key points fell on Mr. Yunmeng. In fact, Zhen Wenjun has been paying attention to this person. To her, Mr. Yunmeng is the biggest accomplice. This person must be killed.But when Xie's mansion was raided, the old thief Yunmeng slipped away early in the morning and failed to catch him!

Zhen Wenjun was so angry that he kicked away the stones at his feet, she must find out this old thief.

And he is very likely to be Xie Fuchen's greatest enemy - Li Yanyi's person.

Everything is just speculation, without any evidence, Zhen Wenjun reassures himself not to draw conclusions based on temporary inferences.

The words of a person who is about to die are also good, but Xie Fuchen is Xie Fuchen after all. Before she died, calling her here may be to separate her from the emperor, Wei Tingxu and the emperor, so as to bury the enemy's self-inflicted fish before death. scourge.A few words and a fake tombstone can make her doubt Li Yanyi, and the cost is too low.What's more, there is no telling whether it is her grandmother in the cemetery.

Zhen Wenjun stared at the tombstone for a while, feeling an impulse in his heart.

As long as you dig up the small grave and take a look for yourself, don't you know?If it is really the burnt grandmother inside, it means that Xie Fuchen is not lying about this point - even if the grandmother has been burnt beyond recognition, she is confident to recognize her.If it was just an empty tomb inside, it must be Xie Fuchen's trick.

Zhen Wenjun stood in front of the grave for a long time, thinking about it and finally failed to do it.

She was afraid that when she dug up the grave, she would really see the unrecognizable grandmother, and she was even more afraid of disturbing the grandmother who had already buried herself. This was the greatest disrespect.

She can't do that.

"Mum, my son is not filial, so far I don't know who the person who harmed you is, let alone whether you are here. But I swear, I will solve all the mysteries and let my mother rest in peace." Zhen Wenjun knocked heavily Big head, sad heart.

She knew that she couldn't catch it out of thin air when she was in this fog, she had to find the end of this road, and only by seeing the root of everything clearly could she find the answer.

The root of all this is who the grandmother is.

Is it Xiaoshi or Aqiong?Why choose the Suichuan Xie family to remain anonymous.As long as all these are unraveled, the truth will reveal itself.

The black bird totem is her only clue now.

Since the black bird totem made of straw that she found by accident in Xie Fuchen's study is familiar to her, it means that she must have seen it by accident.Xie Fuchen knew Grandmother, so this totem might be related to Grandmother. Zhen Wenjun guessed that she must have seen her once when she was a child, and the impression was not very deep. The totem might be able to reveal Grandma's true identity.

After bidding farewell to Grandma's tomb, Zhen Wenjun quickly returned to Weifu and called Bujie out.

Before Bu Jie had been living in an inn in the city, after following her and making great contributions in defeating the enemy in Mengliang, Zhen Wenjun wanted to make good use of him, so he asked Wei Tingxu for instructions to let Bu Jie come to the Wei Mansion as an aide to serve the Wei family. potency.Wei Tingxu had heard about Bu Jie's outstanding performance in the battle against Mengliang, and he readily accepted it, and Bu Jie moved into Wei's house.When his comrade-in-arms Ah Xi returned to his home, he occasionally sent letters to Zhen Wenjun, and Zuo Kunda was also named a school captain, and he was Wei Jingan's subordinate.

Zhen Wenjun called Bu Jie in the Wei Mansion as a matter of course, and other members of the Wei family can also be used by her, but she can't trust it, she only believes in Bu Jie, and only recognizes Bu Jie as her own.

She drew a black bird pattern on the sheepskin and handed it to Bu Jie.

"Help me find out the origin of this totem. It probably comes from the Hu tribe." Zhen Wenjun gave him another big bag of silver. "The money is your money. You must find the secret of the black bird totem as soon as possible. You don't need to send a letter after you get the news." , come back and tell me directly. Remember..."

Bu Jie cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, girl, Wen Sheng will never tell anyone. Wen Sheng will set off tonight!"

Zhen Wenjun let out a "hey" and said, "Near death in Mengliang, I just came back, and I want you to go out again."

"Girl, don't talk about this, the girl's kindness to know you is unforgettable."

"Okay, okay! It's my good fortune to meet Wen Sheng. I'll wait for you to come back, be careful all the way."

Bu Jie left the Wei Mansion on the grounds of visiting relatives, and no one would pay attention to the departure of this little counselor.

Zhen Wenjun calmed down as much as possible, not impatient, and waited for Bu Jie's return.

After the last autumn hunting, I came back with a pile of meat, and before I finished processing, there was a mountain of food, wine and meat at home.

Wei Lun was promoted to Grand Sima Shangshuling and then made a marquis, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.There are even rumors that the second son of his family is about to enter the palace as a noble concubine. If he can help the empress give birth to a prince in the future, he will be the "man of the country".All the people who had alienated him in order to avoid disaster all came back, and when Wei Lun came back from looking for a son, they blocked the gate of Wei Mansion and piled up the New Year's gift with a car, just to be able to see him.What's more, it was heard that Wei Tingxu, the youngest daughter of the Wei family, was not yet married, and the matchmaker stepped on the threshold of the Wei family. The two matchmakers fought at the door for who could get in first, and finally they were all given up by the Wei family's nursing home. Fork away.

"Kill them all away, and return all the New Year's ceremony. It's ridiculous to think about the New Year's ceremony at such a time." Wei Lun couldn't find his son, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the court, so he couldn't stay outside for a long time. , can only come back first upset.Unexpectedly, before reaching the door of his house, he was blocked by many carriages parked on the road, so he had to walk forward.If it wasn't for the clever followers who desperately protected Wei Lun, Sima Wei might still be trapped outside the mansion right now, unable to move.

Wei Lun was upset and returned all the gifts from the flatterers he didn't know, but there were also many acquaintances who also sent congratulatory gifts, congratulating them on the Wei family and Zhu Chongzi's official residence.The congratulations from these colleagues were naturally more or less flattering, but Wei Lun had no choice but to accept them.Li Yanyi urgently needs to build his own center, selecting and employing people is a headache, Wei Lun has to win over talents from the gentry as soon as possible.

Wei Lun knew that Xie's family had been killed in half, so he personally went to confirm that Xie Fuchen was dead.Once Xie Fuchen died, all the people who relied on him in the past would not be able to live.There are many former officials of Xie Fuchen's disciples, although some of them quickly distanced themselves from him after he was convicted, Li Yanyi did not intend to keep them alive.

Li Yanyi asked Wei Lun and Changsun Yao to write the names of all the members of Xie's party on the "crime of anti-trapping" early on, and all of them were punished as treason.Naturally, Wei Lun and Changsun Yao did not dare to appease, and wrote eloquently about more than 2000 people.But once these people were killed, the roster of ministers of the center would be empty. Wei Lun and Changsun Yao went to the meeting to persuade Li Yanyi not to be in such a hurry to kill them all, otherwise it might arouse the anger of the crowd.If you don't kill a group of people who are closest to Xie Fuchen to make an example, if the others are willing to swear allegiance, they will be demoted and stay, and they will not be promoted for life.There are so many miscellaneous things under the sixth rank, and they can't fill them in if there is no manpower for a day.In the future, it would be best if you do well and have no rebellious intentions. If you still have rebellious intentions, you will have no power or ability to rebel.Other loyal ministers need to be promoted, but they cannot be promoted at will. All positions must be filled with talents.

Li Yanyi agreed with their proposition, and asked Wei Lun to recommend talents, and hold a general election next year to select generals and prime ministers nationwide.

Wei Lun holds the power of recommendation in his hands, so many people want to become an official or get promoted. Since then, the Wei Mansion has been besieged tightly, making it extremely difficult for people in the Wei Mansion to get in and out.

Wei Tingxu simply didn't go out.

She didn't go out, but stayed at home to enjoy the flowers, barbecue and drink, and she was quite happy.

Wei Tingxu made an appointment with Zhen Wenjun to watch the moon at night, Zhen Wenjun simply packed up and prepared to go to the appointment, but he hesitated before going out for two steps and came back, hesitating standing in front of the opened wooden box.

The courtyard where Wei Tingxu lives is called Bamboo Garden, so it got its name because it used to be full of light bamboos.Now the courtyard is lit up with lanterns, and after an autumn rain, the tenacious wandering flowers come back to life and are made more delicate by Xiaohua.

No matter how delicate and charming she is, I am afraid it will be the last month.When winter really comes, all that awaits them is decadence.

In the late autumn night when the heat could no longer be felt, Xiaohua prepared the fur blanket for Wei Tingxu early, rice wine was simmering in the small stove, and two fat and tender lamb legs were hung on the red charcoal fire.Just halfway through the roasting, the fat was roasted until it melted, oozing out and condensing into oil dripping onto the charcoal fire, causing a sizzling sound.

Xiaohua carefully brushed the sauce on the leg of lamb, and Wei Tingxu lived in the temple for many years when he was a child, and he slept and ate with the people in the temple. He was used to not having any special desire for meaty things. The flowers in the garden are waiting for Zhen Wenjun's arrival.

These two legs of lamb are prepared for Zhen Wenjun.

When the sauce was brushed for the third time, Zhen Wenjun finally came late.

Wei Tingxu lifted the blanket, got up and went to meet him personally.

Zhen Wenjun wore the new clothes that Wei Tingxu made for her at Nanya at that time, and her long hair was simply tied into a ponytail that hung down to her waist, making her awkward and a little embarrassing.Since Lingbi left, no one combed her hair anymore. Although Wei Tingxu wanted to assign another person to serve her personally, she refused.She has always been self-reliant and does not need others to serve her, but she wants to learn various skills quickly so that she can serve Wei Tingxu.Before going out tonight, she combed her hair by herself, tossed and tossed in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, untied and untied, always felt that something was wrong, until she finally came out shyly to show Wei Tingxu.

Sitting there, Wei Tingxu didn't say yes or no, his eyes were fixed on Zhen Wenjun and he watched carefully, as if he was savoring the fruits of his own cultivation.

Zhen Wenjun is taller and more upright. Since returning from the Mengliang war, she seems to have grown up overnight, her eyes have become firmer, her once round face has sharp edges and corners, and she looks like an adult.Wei Tingxu likes her pair of long eyebrows the most, full of heroism.

When Xiao Hua was slicing off the freshly grilled mutton, she suddenly heard Wei Tingxu asking behind her:

"You still remember that before you left Runing to go to Mengliang, you said something you wanted to tell me..." Wei Tingxu suddenly brought up this matter, "I said we will wait until you come back. Now you are back too , So, what exactly was it that you wanted to talk about?"

Zhen Wenjun almost forgot about it, and was stunned by Wei Tingxu's sudden question, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhen Wenjun sat down and poured the wine and wanted to drink it.

Xiao Hua hurriedly brought up the sliced ​​meat and set it up together with the fruit plate, then quickly took her leave and left, leaving the yard to the two of them completely.The girl always makes troubles out of the blue, making it too late for Xiao Hua to withdraw.

"Want to pretend to be drunk and pass the test?" Wei Tingxu pressed down her hand holding the wine glass, squinted at her with a smile, "answer my question first."

Xiaohua walked out of the bamboo garden and felt very happy, fortunately, she had prepared all the food and drinks before she came out, otherwise it would be embarrassing for her to be stuck there and act like a wooden person when the love comes.

As soon as Xiao Hua stepped out of the garden gate, she heard a familiar voice.

"Huh? When did Tingxu have such a tender beauty? I've never seen you before!" A Liao and her sisters walked towards the bamboo garden while talking and laughing, and met Xiaohua face to face. .Ah Liao was immediately attracted by Xiao Hua's beauty, and looked up at her, "My lady is so strong! It's really rare to be able to coexist beauty and health! My eldest grandson Ran, a person from Dongchun, is known as the sage of flowers in Dongchun, the favorite It is as beautiful and delicate as a lady. Dare I ask what is the name of the lady?"

Ah Liao almost stuck in front of Xiao Hua and asked eagerly, Xiao Hua said with a cold face: "Xiao Hua."

Ah Liao's smile collapsed almost instantly, and he immediately took three steps back, and immediately changed his tone and said respectfully: "It's because I'm blind... I'm actually a strong little flower. I heard that you are detoxifying recently, and your appearance has changed. I didn't expect that It's amazing how different it has become... well, it's so different."

"what are you going to do?"

"I'll take a look at Tingxu and Sister Wenjun. I just arrived in Runing and I didn't have time to deal with a bunch of things. I haven't had the opportunity to visit the house. No, I finally found the opportunity."

Saying that, Aran's sister and grandson Wu also appeared together, and a large group of people walked into the bamboo garden in a mighty manner.Xiaohua wanted to stop them, but after thinking about it, she gave up and walked in together.

In the bamboo garden, Wei Tingxu kept teasing Zhen Wenjun, wanting her to say that sentence that both of them knew.Zhen Wenjun didn't talk about life and death, enjoying the happiness of coming and going with each other.

"Don't tell me..." Wei Tingxu moved closer to her and wanted to touch her nose, but he tripped over the table full of wine and meat at his feet and fell into Zhen Wenjun's arms.

Zhen Wenjun exclaimed "be careful", and hugged her firmly.

Wei Tingxu was leaning in her arms, his posture was a bit awkward, but Zhen Wenjun helped him up, and he sat on Zhen Wenjun's lap, facing each other.

Apart from kissing, there seems to be no other possibility for this posture, and I don't even want to say more.

Zhen Wenjun was fascinated by Wei Tingxu's fragrance and impeccable beauty, pinched Wei Tingxu's chin to prevent her from leaving, and wanted to kiss her when he touched her.The sound of people's footsteps and chatter suddenly rose, and Zhen Wenjun was startled, almost throwing the person in his arms out.
