After a night of no dreams, in the morning, following the servant who was out of the palace, he knocked on the door cautiously and called out, "Master, madam."

Yan Ying woke up instantly, and got up first to wash up.After a while, Song Huizong also woke up.

After washing his face, mouth and hands, Song Huizong changed into a robe with a darker color under the service of his servants. Coupled with a literati temperament, he really looked like a gentleman with a wealthy family.

The breakfast was specially bought by the waiter. It is a very folk snack.There are wonton noodles, sesame seed cakes, wontons, and even mutton soup.

Yan Ying asked for a bowl of wontons, and ate them in small bites.

Song Huizong was very interested in sesame seed cakes, and said in surprise after taking a bite. "It's quite crispy. Would you like to try it, lady?"

Yan Ying held Song Huizong's hand and took a bite of the sesame seed cake.

"It's pretty good." Yan Ying continued eating wontons.

After a while, after breakfast, Song Huizong called the officials of the post station and asked him to arrange manpower to search for Pan Jinhe and Pan Jinyun.

The Qinghe county post station officials were terrified and at a loss, but it was Yan Ying who relieved him of the crisis.

"Okay, it's best for Jin Yiwei to handle this matter." Yan Yingbai glanced at Song Huizong, and said in a bad tone: "Yesterday, the master said to ask Jin Yiwei to help find someone, why did you forget about it today?" gone."

Song Huizong laughed heartily, and joked to himself that "old people are useless", and asked Yan Ying where she planned to go for a walk today.

Yan Ying: "Where does the master want to go?"

Song Huizong: "I heard that there is a sandy date village near Qinghe County. I remember that the sandy dates produced by this sandy day township are paid tribute to the palace every year. Why don't my wife and my husband go to the sandy date township to have a look? "

"It's a coincidence." Yan Ying smiled lightly. "At the time when I was born, I had a good sister who was from Shazao Township. It's good to go to Shazao Township for a walk. I hope to be lucky and meet you."

It is definitely possible to meet, since Ximen Qing died, Yin Ping, who was a concubine, took her youngest son back to Shazao Township.Because he had a private house, Yin Ping was very clever. After returning to his hometown, he used his private house to build a house and bought another ten acres of fertile land.The days were clear and light, but it was passable.

However, when going out, Song Huizong broke the appointment and did not go to Shazao Township with him.There is no other reason, but I received an urgent letter.

The letter said that Zhang Zeduan, who was quite similar to Song Huizong, had a very high art of calligraphy and painting (that is, the one who painted the Qingming Riverside Picture) and was about to die of a serious illness. Song Huizong recalled the joy of calligraphy and painting friends in the past, and wanted to rush back to Bianjing to see Zhang Zeduan last side.

Yan Ying didn't bother to say anything about this, she only said that she was accompanied by the Bailai No. Jin Yiwei, and served by a servant who was proficient in martial arts, so nothing would happen. "Let the concubine stay in Qinghe County for a while longer, and then talk about returning to Beijing after finding my younger sister and younger brother."

Song Huizong had no choice but to return to (Bian) Beijing reluctantly.

After Song Huizong left, Yan Ying took some people and walked to Shazao Township in a light car.

I was lucky, I had just arrived in Shazao Township, and before I could enter the village, I came across a silver vase dressed as a woman in coarse cloth.

In addition to giving special preferential treatment to Yan Ying, Years also treats Yin Ping very preferentially.The contours of Yin Ping's face remained unchanged, his face was like a silver plate, and his complexion was fair, as if he hadn't had any hard days.In matters, except for the man who died early and was widowed and never married, Yin Ping really didn't suffer any grievances.

Yan Ying looked at Yin Ping, and Yin Ping, who was walking towards home with a bamboo basket on her head, raised her head as if feeling something.At first sight, she was dazzled by Yan Ying's alluring beauty, and then the more she looked at her, the more amazed she became.

"This lady..." Yin Ping said hesitantly.

"Look familiar?" Yan Ying said with a smile, "I haven't seen Yin Ping for many years, but your appearance hasn't changed much."

Yin Ping opened his mouth wide in surprise.I wanted to call Sister Jinlian, but Yan Ying, who was dressed in plain clothes and still looked elegant and luxurious, didn't call her, and just said: "I haven't seen you for many years, why don't we go to the humble house to have a chat."

The following servant hesitated, but did not stop Yan Ying.He just said: "Madam, can you prepare some good food and wine?"

"It's good to eat some farm food once in a while."

Yan Ying smiled and signaled the servants to make preparations, while she followed Yin Ping to her house.

Yinping's house is a standard unary courtyard house in the shape of '口'.As soon as you enter, you can see the main room and the two wing rooms at a glance.Outside the main house is the yard, and there is a well in the center of the yard, covered with bluestone slabs.

A grass rope was pulled from the left wing, and several clothes were hung on it.The color is light yellow and rose red, very bright, it should be the clothes worn by young women.Think about Ximen Lin born in Yin Ping who is more than three years younger than Zhao Tan.Now Zhao Tan has married the queen, and he has both children; Ximen Lin is naturally married.

Yan Ying casually looked around and sat down on the stone bench in the yard.Yin Ping asked his daughter-in-law to put away his clothes and carry them back to the room, while he talked to Yan Ying, who was still shockingly beautiful.

Without saying anything, Yin Ping spoke first, talking about his experiences over the years.

After redeeming herself with Yan Ying more than 20 years ago, Yan Ying left Qinghe County and has not been heard from since then. She returned to her natal Shazao Township with her pitifully small private house and the silver hairpin that Yan Ying had given her.

At the beginning, she still had ten taels of silver with her, and her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law were very kind to her. When the ten taels of silver were used up, her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law changed their faces, and then sold her to Ximen Qing Being a concubine is just to let the brother born to the brother and sister-in-law study without worrying about money.

Yin Ping smiled, as if talking about other people's affairs. "At the beginning, Ximenqing had an affair with someone and died on the bed of a widow and lover outside. I never thought about going back to Shazao Township, but after thinking about it, Shazao Township is at least familiar. I am a woman and child, and it is okay to take a child to live in other places. Yes, if you are not familiar with life, you might as well go back to Shazao Township and use your private house to buy property."

Although Ximenqing is playful, but his family is rich, concubines like Yinping who can't get on the table with money can save a lot of money by rewards, so that they not only build a house, but also buy a house. Ten acres of fertile land.

The days are plain but well planned, paying attention to the steady flow of water.

"Sister Jinlian, what about you?" Yin Ping finally called Yan Ying, Sister Jinlian.This reminded Yan Ying that when she first became Pan Jinlian, Yin Ping was also the elder sister of Jinlian and the younger sister of Jinlian.

Yan Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "I, since I parted from you, I went to Bianjing..."

At this time, Yin Ping's daughter-in-law came out with a curious expression on her face, and kept looking at him.Yan Ying said: "This is your daughter-in-law. By the way, your son is called Ximenlin, why didn't you see anyone else?"

Yin Ping: "I'm studying in Qinghe County, and I won't come back until I have a rest day."

"Students, that's good." Yan Ying smiled lightly, and continued to talk about her own experience. "I went to Bianjing, and I was fortunate enough to be adopted as a righteous daughter by the officials and eunuchs, and then... entered the palace gate."

Yin Ping's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered that she had heard her son come back and say that the current Empress Dowager is a powerful one, and her surname seems to be Pan.The Pan surname was actually not a common surname in the Song Dynasty, and there were very few wealthy households with the surname Pan in Bianjing.At that time, Yin Ping heard her son's sigh, and was still wondering if the Empress Dowager had something to do with her sister Jinlian who had no news.

But after thinking about it carefully, Yin Ping felt that it didn't matter. No matter how powerful Pan Jinlian was, it was impossible for her to be as powerful as the Empress Dowager.

Yin Ping showed astonishment, and then pulled his daughter-in-law to salute and say hello in a little panic.

Yan Ying sighed, telling Yin Ping not to be too polite. "Don't be so unfamiliar, I still have to stay in Qinghe County for a while to deal with some matters, Yin Ping, you are so unfamiliar and polite, it makes me a little uncomfortable."

"Jin Madam was joking."

After all, she was a bit cautious, Yin Ping didn't call Jin Lian sister anymore.And her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was even more terrified, never expecting that the current Empress Dowager Empress is old with her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhang knew that her mother-in-law "Li Ping'er" used to be a maid in a high family's family in the early years, and later redeemed herself with her good sisters and returned to her hometown.Her mother-in-law once lamented that she didn't know what happened to her good sister.

As a result... she entered the palace, became a noble concubine and empress empress, and finally the mother sat on the throne of the Supreme Empress by relying on her son.Even if she dresses plainly nowadays, it is too expensive, and she dare not look directly at the sky.

Just at this time, the waiter who had gone to buy food came back and approached Yan Ying to talk.Lingfu Diji asked people about the whereabouts of the empress, and it is estimated that she will come to Qinghe County with her son-in-law soon. "

"Why did that girl come here?" Yan Ying said with a little displeasure: "If you want to play wild, let her and her son-in-law go to the northwest, where there are Xixia people for her to play wild. Back then, this palace fulfilled her wish and found her for her. If Mr. Chong is a son-in-law, then he will stay with the son-in-law in the army, and now he is running around with the son-in-law, what does it sound like?"

The servant smiled and echoed: "Your Majesty, Ling Fudiji is also concerned about your Majesty. Your Majesty returned to Beijing early this morning, and Your Majesty is alone. Ling Fu Diji is worried and wants to accompany her."

"Don't talk old words about her, don't I know what kind of character Yu Fei has?"

Yan Ying waved impatiently, and asked the waiter to hand over the purchased items to Yin Ping, who came back to her senses and Yin Ping motioned for Mrs. Zhang to take them quickly and go to the kitchen to dispose of them.

Mrs. Zhang has a good cooking skill, while Yin Ping is a good girl. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law take care of the whole house properly, so that Ximen Lin can read with peace of mind without hearing anything outside the window.Although the days are plain, they are very reassuring. At least they are much better than Yan Ying's thrilling days, which are calculated step by step.

At noon, Mrs. Zhang cleaned up a table of good wine and food.Most of them were bought by the servants, and a few were homemade things.The taste is good, and Yan Ying, who originally planned to leave after lunch, circled through the dusk before leaving Shazao Township.

When she left, Yan Ying didn't leave any valuables behind. Firstly, Yan Ying was dressed plainly, and secondly, she didn't leave immediately.Instead, he gave Mrs. Zhang a jade bracelet, which was of good quality, and it was a gift for the younger generation when old friends met.

Going back to the inn to rest, Yan Ying lived in the inn for the next few days, quietly waiting for news.

During this period, when Yin Ping led Mrs. Zhang to the county to visit her son who was studying in school, they visited the inn.This time, Yan Ying gave some rewards seriously, and asked Ximenlin about his studies in detail.The talent for reading is not very good, but he is barely a hard-working child, and he doesn't have too many tricks, so training it can be regarded as a good official who will benefit one party.

For this purpose, it was rare for Yan Ying to open her mouth to show kindness and let Ximenlin study in the Imperial College.

This is the great grace of the emperor, because the students enrolled in the Imperial College are collectively referred to as disciples of the emperor.In addition to the children of officials and eunuchs, outstanding students from all over the country, there are also people from the Zhao clan. It is a place that is extremely beneficial to making friends with powerful people and developing in the future. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Probably Yin Ping's family also knew this, so they were all ecstatic about this kindness, and when Yan Ying stayed in Qinghe County to wait for news of her younger brother and sister, Yin Ping often came to accompany Yan Ying.But at that time, Yan Ying had already moved out of the post station and moved into a Zhuangzi, which was regarded as a royal villa.

In this way, about half a month later, Yan Ying, who had already learned about Pan Jinyun's whereabouts from mouth 438, finally found out from Jin Yiwei.As for little sister Pan Jinhe, since Wang Zhaoxuan's sudden death, she was sold to another house together with other maids by Mrs. Wang Zhaoxuan.

And that other family is none other than the family of Chai Huangcheng, the uncle of Chai Jin nicknamed Little Xuanfeng in "Water Margin".

Later, she became the second wife of Chai Huangcheng. When she was pregnant, she unexpectedly met Yin Tianxi, the wife-in-law of Gao Lian (Gao Qi's brother), the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture.Chai Huangcheng died in anger, and Pan Jinhe became a widow, living as a widow with the son and posthumous daughter left by Mrs. Chai Huangcheng's wife.

"It seems that when my mother dealt with Gao Qiu's party, she indirectly avenged her aunt." Zhao Yufei, who came to Qinghe County with her son-in-law, sighed.

But there is nothing wrong with lamenting, just as Zhao Yufei lamented, when Yan Ying never thought of the existence of a pair of younger brothers and sisters, Yan Ying's actions in dealing with Gao Qi and Yu Dang, who were corrupt and perverted the law, and sold officials without authorization, really indirectly became Chai Huangcheng's successor Pan Jinhe took revenge.

It's just...Compared to Pan Jinyun, Yan Ying didn't have a good sense of Pan Jinhe, or the deceased Chai Huangcheng.I don't know if it was Yan Ying's delusion, but Yan Ying felt that maybe Chai Huangcheng knew that Pan Jinhe was her sister.Otherwise, a slave whose innocence was ruined by the Patriarch, and then resold by the Patriarch's widow after the Patriarch's death, how could he become the second wife of Chai Huangcheng, and even after the death of the Dafang, he directly became the successor.

It’s just a matter of time and fate. It is estimated that Chai Huangcheng, who was directly angered by Yin Tianxi’s bullying behavior with his power, died before he could tell Pan Jinhe that your sister Pan Jinlian, who was born of the same mother and father, became the fourth queen of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. Otherwise, judging from the information described by Jin Yiwei, Pan Jinhe, who is also scheming and able to protect himself well no matter where he is, will definitely take a pair of children and travel thousands of miles.

Yan Ying sighed. "Yes, I avenged her indirectly."

"My daughter is a little puzzled. Why did the queen think of looking for her uncle and aunt now?" Zhao Yufei asked.

Yan Ying: "I'm afraid they will cause trouble!"

Zhao Yufei: "Huh?"

Yan Ying: "Don't understand?"

Zhao Yufei shook her head: "I don't quite understand." Then Zhao Yufei called out the son-in-law Zhong Yanchong, "The son-in-law can know what the queen mother means."

Chong Yanchong: "...my mother has been separated from her two uncles and aunts since she was a child. The mother does not know what kind of character these two uncles and aunts have. not good……"

"The Great Song Dynasty was at a critical stage at that time." Some words were not suitable for Zhong Yanchong to say, so Zhao Yufei took over. "Father and emperor don't care about business, regardless of government affairs, military affairs, or even water conservancy and agriculture, the queen mother has to take care of it, and she has to educate the emperor's younger brother on weekdays, so there is no time to care about other things."

Apart from herself and her children, what her mother cares most about is this great river and mountain.Under internal and external troubles, even oneself and children are sometimes forgotten, let alone relatives who have been separated since childhood.

And Zhao Yufei is very sure that her mother had a heart-to-heart relationship with her natal family in the early days.The father died, and the mother sold her and her sister Pan Jinhe, who was three years younger than her, respectively under the pretext of not being able to raise three children at the same time. With the money from selling the two daughters, she moved with her youngest son Pan Jinyun from Qinghe County. Yanggu County.

If he hadn't made up his mind at the beginning, saying that he could not redeem himself and leave Gaoda's house, he would choose to go back to his mother's house just like Yin Ping.After all, from the perspective of the world, it is better to have parents and brothers to rely on than to live alone.

"Yeah, I'm not in the mood to care about other things." Yan Ying smiled: "Now the world is truly peaceful, and it's time to deal with some past events."

Zhao Yufei burst out laughing. "Queen, you really see it. Can the minister and son-in-law go to the battlefield?"

Yan Ying raised her eyebrows, and found that Zhong Yanchong looked nervous and looking forward to it, so she couldn't help but chuckled. "The son-in-law can, but you can't."

Zhao Yufei's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Why can't the queen mother do it?"

"Because you are stupid." Yan Ying said without saving Zhao Yufei any face: "Following the son-in-law on the battlefield will only hinder the son-in-law. Why not learn from Yuzhu to manage the logistics well, so that the son-in-law can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy without any worries."

Zhao Yufei immediately became nonchalant, but her son-in-law Zhong Yanchong agreed. "What the queen mother said is very true."

Zhao Yufei bulged her eyes instead, and glared at Zhong Yanchong instead.

Chong Yanchong ignored Zhao Yufei's bluffing stare, and took the initiative to talk about the arrangement of Pan Jinhe and Pan Jinyun. "My son-in-law has sent someone to pick up Uncle Guo and Aunt Pan respectively, and he will bring them to the other garden in the near future. I don't know what arrangements the queen mother has for them."

Yan Ying: "What arrangements can I make? Just seal Pan Jinyun as Cheng Engong. As for Pan Jinhe, how about Mrs. Pan Guo?"
