Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

Dongnai County.

The trees are shady, the flowers are beautiful, the mountains are green, the snow on the mountains is crystal clear and dazzling, the clear blue sea and the blue sky form a scene, giving people a feeling of "the mountains are surrounded by water, and the mountains are in the water". It is simply a fairyland on earth. .

Looking around the picturesque scenery, Murong Yanfei exclaimed: "Aunt Qiao really didn't lie to me, this place is so beautiful." She closed her eyes, spread her arms, took a deep breath, and immediately felt refreshed.

Han Yelin rolled his eyes at his childish younger sister, and he and Sima Linghao stood by his mother's side to prevent people passing by from accidentally bumping into his mother.

Zi Ke, Lu Po, Long Ying and some Zi Yiwei were calm on the surface, but secretly they were on high alert for the movement around them.

The other part of Ziyiwei disguised themselves as business travelers and followed them not far or near.

The fishermen around were busy fishing, and the merchants in all kinds of costumes bargained with the fishermen. Everyone had joy and peace on their faces, and Qingyun was deeply relieved to see it.

Along the way, there are many shops and lots of people. All you see and hear are smiling people and mutual greetings. You hardly see a beggar. ', the lobby was full of people, and the storyteller was telling a story about Qingyun trying medicine to save the epidemic in Nanyang County. In the private room, people in the corridor and in the lobby clapped their hands and praised from time to time.

Seeing the group of people who came in, although their clothes were simple and their faces were ordinary, they all had an extraordinary temperament, especially Qingyun's brows naturally contained a trace of dignity, the shopkeeper immediately came out from behind the counter, and asked with a smile: "May I ask how many of you are going to the top? Or staying in the hotel?"

"Six upper rooms, and another two private rooms for us to eat." Zi Ke took out a gold ingot and handed it to the shopkeeper. As usual, except for five or six purple-clothed guards accompanying him for protection, the rest of the purple-clothed guards scattered around to visit officials Achievements and sentiments.

After receiving the heavy gold ingot, the shopkeeper laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, raised his voice and ordered the waiter in the shop to prepare six upper rooms, and then said to Qingyun: "Several distinguished guests, please come upstairs." While speaking, he personally guided Qingyun and his party People walked to the private room on the second floor.

"What do you guys want to eat? Whether you are flying in the sky or running on the ground, the small shop has everything you need." The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced the special dishes.

After taking a sip of the hot tea handed by Lu Po, looking at the children sitting beside them with novel faces, Qingyun said softly: "Let's prepare a special dish from your restaurant, and the private room next door is also the same." in this way."

"Okay, a few distinguished guests, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper immediately left the private room to prepare dishes.

This private room has windows on two sides, one side is the lively market, and the other side has a panoramic view of the lobby. Zi Ke stepped forward and closed the window facing the street to isolate the noise from the outside world.

And Murong Yanfei was lying by the open window, listening to the storyteller's ups and downs and everyone's praise, after a while, she ran to Qingyun's side, took her arm intimately, and said excitedly: "Mother, they It is said that you are benevolent and virtuous, you love the people like a son, and you are a rare wise king."

Qingyun smiled and didn't speak, but Han Yelin curled his lips: "Mother is a wise king through the ages, of course they are full of praise, but why are you so excited, does it have anything to do with you?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. My mother is a wise king through the ages, and I am my mother's daughter. Naturally, I have something to do with glory!" Murong Yanfei didn't care about the second brother's sarcasm. The attitude depends on the mood, even her own sister is no exception: "Mother, Aunt Qiao said that you once tamed a snow wolf named 'Mu Xue', why haven't we seen it before? What? Or..."

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, Qingyun looked at her daughter who was blinking her big eyes, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed across her dark pupils: "Mu Xue left with your father, perhaps, we will never see each other again in this life." .”

"I'm sorry mother, Xin'er said the wrong thing, mother, don't be sad." Hearing the suppressed sadness in his mother's tone, Murong Yanfei suddenly panicked, wrapped his small arms around his mother's waist, and blamed himself endlessly.

Sima Linghao and Han Yelin both stood up and walked to Qingyun's side. Han Yelin put his arms around Qingyun's neck: "Mother, you and our three brothers and sisters, we will always be with you!"

"Second brother is right. We will always be with mother and honor her. There are so many relatives and friends who will always be by mother's side." Sima Linghao nodded heavily.

Looking at the sensible and well-behaved children, Qingyun was deeply relieved, hurriedly suppressed her sorrow, put down the teacup, Bai Baisu held the hands of the three brothers and sisters, looked at the three Zi Ke who looked worried, and said with a smile: "Yes , Mother is very content with you, and so many relatives and friends. Well, it’s rare to come out, we should be happy, and don’t mention these disappointing things.”

"Yeah." The three brothers and sisters immediately changed the subject, and Han Yelin even tried his best to play tricks, making them laugh out loud.

Just at this time, the shopkeeper came in with the waiter carrying the dishes, and placed all kinds of dishes on the table that were so fragrant that people would move their index fingers when they smelled them. Looking at the warm atmosphere, the shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "It's the first time for the honored guests to come to Dongnae County. Tomorrow is our annual 'Sea Festival'. You can go and have a look at the honored guests."

"What is Sea Festival Day?" Murong Yanfei asked curiously, tilting her head.

"This is one of the traditional festivals in our Donglai County." The shopkeeper said devoutly: "It is said that one of our ancestors encountered a strong wind and waves when he went out to sea one day, and nearly died when his boat capsized and fell into the sea. A fairy came to save the ancestors, and later others encountered similar situations;

Some people thought of going to worship the fairy before going to sea, but they were safe every time. Once the news spread, people followed suit. Since then, there has been no more shipwreck;

In order to thank the fairy for her kindness and protection, the ancestors chose to worship the fairy tomorrow every year, which is called "Sea Festival Day", and pray for safe and smooth going to sea in the coming year;

but. . . . . . "

"But what?" Han Yelin also aroused some interest.

Looking at Qingyun, who was always eating the dishes elegantly, with a face as calm as water, the shopkeeper continued: "However, the emperors of the previous dynasty were stupid and immoral, and they imposed a lot of miscellaneous taxes, which caused us people to suffer untold hardships. Those who intended to leave other countries were arrested and ransacked their families;

The previous emperor even decreed to abolish the "sea sacrifice day", saying that the emperor is the real dragon emperor, and worshiping that fairy is contemptuous of the imperial power. Many people who secretly worshiped were arrested and killed by the government. No one dared to mention this traditional festival;

Until the current emperor overthrew the previous dynasty and established Donglai County, not only successive tax reductions and exemptions, but also various policies that benefit the people and benefit the people. With the consent of Dongnae County Magistrate), this traditional festival was only resumed four years ago. Firstly, I hope to continue to be blessed by that fairy, and secondly, I am grateful for the benevolence and sageness of the current emperor. "

"Then will you offer some virgins and virgins when you worship?" Han Yelin remembered that there were such records in some unofficial history.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense." Sima Linghao glanced at Han Yelin and said in a deep voice: "Children are the hearts and minds of parents, how can they give up so easily?"

The shopkeeper's eyes darkened: "The second son is right. At the beginning, the people really only worshiped livestock and fruits, but later on, life became more and more difficult. Almost all the people who went to sea were shipwrecked, and I don't know who it is. It was suggested that boys and girls should be used instead of livestock, and there were no shipwrecks that year, and people have been using boys and girls as sacrifices since then, until the previous emperor abolished the "Sea Festival Day."

"My God, how could those parents... be so cruel?" Murong Yanfei was loved by her family like a treasure since she was a child. In the past two years, she has traveled with Aunt Qiao and Aunt Yu, and she has never seen such a shocking thing. I really can't understand why there are such cruel parents in the world?

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, Qingyun frowned, and a layer of frost covered her ordinary face.

Zi Ke and Long Ying's expression remained unchanged. After all, they were orphans abandoned by their parents. Without the former emperor and master, they would have starved to death long ago.

Her eyes were wide open, and Lu Po's expression was shocked with a hint of pity.

She was born in an ordinary farming family. Although her biological mother died young and her stepmother treated her very badly, her father loved her very much. However, there were several younger siblings in the family, and the burden was heavy. The stepmother tried to sell her for money several times, but her father firmly disagreed. .

Back then, the first emperor and his master visited their mountain village privately. Seeing her hardworking and simple, the master wanted to buy her to be a maid, but his father refused.

But she didn't want her father to work too hard, and the master was very approachable. She believed that the master was a good person, and the master repeatedly promised her father that he would treat her well, but even so, the father insisted on only signing a six-year contract with the master. She was reluctant to leave her master and insisted on staying by his side. Seeing that she was doing well, her father agreed.

So she, like the third little master, did not understand how those parents could be so cruel, and naturally sympathized with those innocent children who were sacrificed.

"Those children were also raised by their mothers and fathers. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't live on, who would give up their children? After all, it's for the sake of living a better life for the living."

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh, and the pitiful pity in his eyes was instantly replaced by relief and gratitude: "However, the current emperor loves the people like his own children. Although Master Zhuang also agreed to restore the 'Sea Festival', he strictly forbade the use of boys and girls as sacrifices. And that Master Qiao sent by the imperial court not only urged and encouraged the children to go to school, but also often sent people to various villages and towns to organize cultural education, so that the people understood a lot of truths, so far no one has done such ignorant things.”

"According to the shopkeeper, Mr. Zhuang is a good official." Sima Linghao looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

Uncle Liu said that after careful consideration, his mother promoted Zhuang Yiyun, the magistrate of Xihe County, to be the sheriff of Donglai County, because she liked his fair and strict disposition, and his vigorous and mellow handling style.

After all, at that time, Donglai County had just been included in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and the situation was extremely chaotic and complicated. It really needed a capable official to govern, and it took Zhuang Yiyun less than two years. The officials and the people were dedicated to making the originally barren Xihe County stable. Wealthy, my mother believes that Zhuang Yiyun can also manage Dongnai County well.

It seems that Zhuang Yiyun really lived up to her mother's trust and expectations.

The shopkeeper nodded his head and praised: "Not only Mr. Zhuang, all the officials in Donglai County are good officials, even the servants of the government offices have never bullied the people, Yurou Township;

Nowadays, the people in Dongnae County have enough food and clothing, adults have things to do, children have to study, live and work in peace and contentment, neighbors are friendly, do not close their doors at night, and do not pick up lost things on the road. Everyone says this is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and finally met the virtuous and sage. The current emperor. "

Sima Linghao smiled gently and did not speak.

Niang said that in order to evaluate the achievements of officials, in addition to the evaluation of officials at the higher level, you must also listen to the opinions of the people and visit and investigate the actual situation in secret, so that you can be as clear as a mirror and not easily deceived by others. This is only used by the emperor. Talent is the foundation of governing the country well. Only when the king knows the details, the officials are honest and honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, can the country and society be prosperous and strong.

"Then did your worship ceremony look good?" Murong Yanfei asked curiously.

Han Yelin curled his lips: "All worship ceremonies are equally boring and tedious, so it's better to go home and sleep."

"Second brother!" Sima Linghao gave Han Yelin a warning look. This is the belief and custom of other wicked people. Even if you don't like it, you should respect it.

"It doesn't matter." The shopkeeper waved his hands and said with a smile: "The worship ceremony in the past was indeed boring and cumbersome as the second son said, but now it is more colorful."

Murong Yanfei was suddenly interested: "Tell me, why is it so colorful?"

"Tomorrow at the beginning of the morning (seven o'clock in the morning) almost everyone will go to the beach to participate in the worship ceremony, and then go to the ancestral hall built by the common people to donate money to the current emperor. Organized cultural and sports competitions, the streets were filled with lanterns at Xushi ([-]:[-] p.m.), and in addition to various gardening activities, everyone would gather on both sides of the Yuanqing River not far away to sing folk songs, which made many good marriages."

"There is also a folk song duet, which sounds very good." Murong Yanfei acted like a baby to Qingyun expectantly: "Mother, let's go and have a look too."

Qingyun thought for a while and nodded.

After Chen Yu left, she gradually got used to the quietness, and often stayed alone for a whole day without saying a word, feeling inexplicably repulsed by the excitement in her heart.

It's been almost eight years, and there is still no news about the father and concubine Yu. She thinks that Dongnae County has a special geographical location and picturesque scenery, and there are so many special festivals. Maybe the father and concubine Yu will come to enjoy it, saying Maybe you can meet the father and concubine Yu.

Seeing that Qingyun agreed, Murong Yanfei cheered, and Sima Linghao and the others were also very happy, but they were not interested in any worship ceremony, but wanted to see what the ancestral hall built by the common people for Qingyun looked like.
