Chapter 191 Princess: I order you to explain clearly

Concubine Luo never knew that Qin Shou had Nanman blood. She counted her seniority with her fingers, and the so-called great-grandmother should be Qin Shou's grandmother's mother.

She suddenly remembered that Qin Shou's grandfather started his family with nothing. At that time, there were rumors that he married a very mysterious woman as his wife, and the 81 tricks of war were just the dowry.

From this point of view, because Qin Shou's grandmother knew she was a Southern barbarian, she seldom showed her face in front of people, and outsiders felt it was mysterious.

But she remembered the Nanman words that Qin Shou blurted out that day, and she remembered that he said it was taught by his biological mother.

Concubine Luo sat sideways on the horse's back, she folded the cloak with dark maple leaves in sapphire blue, and asked him, "The mother-in-law's mother is also from the Southern barbarians?"

Qin Shou held the rein with one hand, supported her slender waist with the other, and walked through the humid southern barbarian forest at a leisurely pace. Hearing Concubine Luo's question, he lowered his head and glanced at her, "No, mother is from the Great Yin."

Xu is in a good mood, he would like to talk to Concubine Luo about his own affairs, and then said in detail, "My mother was chosen by my grandmother for my father, and I don't like my father, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of my grandmother are very harmonious. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are as close as a mother and daughter, so my grandmother taught my mother some Nanman dialect in her early years."

Concubine Luo listened intently, the secrets Qin Shou said gave her the illusion that he allowed her to step into his world.

"Grandfather and grandmother were deeply in love. They were never born at the same time, but when they died, they went together and were buried in the same cave. I was only two or three years old at that time. I don't remember much about these things. It was my mother who told me later. of."

Qin Shou drove his horse across a stream, as if recalling some not-so-good things, he said in a cold tone, "Once grandma left, my mother had nothing to rely on, and my father didn't want to see her, so she simply moved to Anfoyuan. Before I was four or five years old, I could still see her every day, which was my enlightenment, taught by my mother."

Qin Shou didn't say anything about the latter, but Concubine Luo knew all about it. He was not yet six years old, and his biological mother passed away early due to depression. The art of war and power, etc., are older, and the old king welcomed An as his successor, and finally the birth of his stepbrother.

Concubine Luo felt that Qin Shou should be thankful that even though the old King Rong disliked his biological mother no matter how much he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and neglected his sons, he had already made it clear to An Shi that his sons and daughters were clearly distinguished. very.

She grabbed the thin strap of the cloak, twisted it around her fingertips, and asked with a frown, "Grandma has been dead for many years, how do you know that great-grandmother is still alive?"

When she consciously called "Grandmother", Qin Shou's long and narrow eyes almost bent down, "Yes, actually..."

Having said that, he suddenly paused.

Concubine Luo could rarely hear a bit of hesitation in his tone, she squinted and raised her eyes to glance at him, "How is it?"

Qin Shou pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to push aside the jumping branches, and blocked Concubine Luo, "I can go back in time and let the princess be reborn, thanks to the help of my great-grandmother."

Hearing this, Concubine Luo looked up at him in surprise, "She has such a great ability?"

Qin Shou's face was cold and indifferent, but Concubine Luo could see his resentment towards her immediately, "Southern barbarians are always weird."

Concubine Luo wisely didn't ask, she shook her little feet, she was tired of seeing the uniform green in her field of vision, and the forest was still very damp, she tugged on her cloak, untied it and hugged it impatiently asked, "How long will it take?"

Hearing this, Qin Shou saw that she was indeed dripping with sweat from the tip of her small nose, so he took his handkerchief and gave it to her, "We'll be there in about a day."

Qin Shou said one day, but in reality, he left the Southern Barbarian dense forest in the middle of the second day. Fortunately, Qin Shou was very familiar with this forest, and specially avoided places with miasma and many wild animals. Just took some more detours.

It would be strange to change someone, thinking that Qin Shou, a native of Rongzhou in the north, came to the south of Sichuan without any discomfort, and he was very familiar with the Nanman.

But Concubine Luo has long been used to his ability, and she will feel strange when Qin Shou encounters difficult problems that cannot be solved one day.

In the eyes of the Great Yin people, the Nanman is quite mysterious, not only living in the deep forest of the Nanman all year round, without any trace, but also capable of voodoo and witchcraft, so even Concubine Luo has never seen a few Nanman people. With all the calculations, the previous Nanban witch, Mo Xin, was the only one.

Qin Shou brought Concubine Luo to a small Nanman stockade, and as soon as the two came out of the dense forest, a wooden arrow flew at Qin Shou's feet, blocking his way.

Concubine Luo was behind Qin Shou, she poked her head out, and saw three naked men with colorful totems on their faces running out of the village, holding simple bows and arrows.

"People from Great Yin?" one of the Nanman men asked.

Qin Shou nodded. He said something to the man in Nanman language, and saw the three men hesitate for a moment, then put down the bow and arrow in their hands.

Then, the two were introduced into the village.

Concubine Luo looked around curiously, the village is not big, there are about ten families living there, and most of them are women and children.

Everyone has strange totem textures painted on their faces, and the men are all topless, while the women are showing their arms and waists, with rings of silver bracelets on their wrists. Seeing Concubine Luo and Qin Shou, two outsiders, The woman took out the little snake in the pocket at her waist and played with it.

Concubine Luo was shocked immediately, and hurried to touch Qin Shou.

Qin Shou tilted his head slightly, and seeing Concubine Luo's complexion turned pale, he understood, so he stretched out his hand to hold her, and firmly protected her by his side.

The two walked to an exquisite bamboo building at the end of the village, and saw a silver-haired old woman with a dark red bamboo cane in her hand, hunched over and waiting there.

As soon as Qin Shou saw that person, he stopped slowly. He didn't show any emotion on his face, but he tightened his hand holding Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo was in pain from being held, she tugged at him, unable to free her hand, she wanted to kick him so anxiously.

Qin Shou came back to his senses abruptly, he let go of her hand, approached the old woman, and saluted respectfully as a junior.

"I know you're coming." The old woman's voice was hoarse, as if she had been burned.

When she raised her head, Concubine Luo realized that her eyes had only whites and no pupils, it was really frightening.

The old woman looked at Qin Shou, and passed his gaze to Concubine Luo. She looked at Concubine Luo for a while, and when Concubine Luo's scalp was numb, she showed a strange smile, "It's her."

Qin Shou was stunned, he turned his head to look at Concubine Luo with a complicated expression, and then asked the old woman, "Is that right?"

The old woman stomped her bamboo cane and said in a rough voice, "It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong? After all, everything is no longer yours."

Qin Shou was silent, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and the center of his brows was also furrowed, making the red thread look more red like blood.

The old woman raised her hand, as if she wanted to touch Qin Shou's face, Qin Shou obediently knelt down on one knee, and led her to put her hand on his face.

Concubine Luo saw that the old woman touched Qin Shou's eyes, nose, and then thin lips, almost touching his entire face, and finally settled on the brow bone.

"That's all you are like her." The old woman looked nostalgic, then she sighed and waved to Qin Shou, "Let's go, don't come again, I can't help you this time."

Rarely, upon hearing this, Concubine Luo actually saw a sad look on Qin Shou's face, he knelt down on both knees, and sincerely kowtowed to the old woman.

In the end, he turned his head and said to her, "Mimi, you should also kowtow to your great-grandmother."

Concubine Luo opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but in Qin Shou's gaze so deep that she couldn't see the sun, moon and stars, she felt inexplicably weak, she walked over in a strange way, knelt down awkwardly next to Qin Shou, and really kowtowed.

Unexpectedly, the side of the old woman was only half respected by Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo was surprised, she turned to look at Qin Shou, he was not surprised at all, when he got up he pulled her up and patted her skirt.

The old woman had deep nasolabial folds on her face, and the corners of her eyes were drooping. She waved to Concubine Luo, "Princess, come with me."

As she spoke, she tapped the front of her with a bamboo cane, and groped her way up to the bamboo building.

Qin Shou put his hands behind his back and said to Concubine Luo, "Go, that's also the princess's great-grandmother."

The implication of the words was to tell her not to be afraid, Concubine Luo glanced at him, "This palace is for the sake of the old man's age, not for yours."

Qin Shou didn't refute, he lowered his phoenix eyes, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

Concubine Luo lifted up her skirt and followed into the bamboo building. To her surprise, the building was very clean, without any insects or snakes. The old woman sat cross-legged on the soft cushion and looked towards the door.

Concubine Luo stepped in, knelt down opposite the old woman, put her hands on her lap, her back was straight and elegant.

The old woman said slowly, "The princess is not an ordinary person, and she will have great fortune in the future. There are some things that the old man should not say, but whoever said that the child has such a little relationship with the old man, the old man will have the cheek to say a few words to the princess. sentence."

Concubine Luo stretched out her hand, "Great-grandmother said it's okay."

Without Qin Shou by her side, she yelled more naturally.

The old woman touched the bamboo cane on her leg, pondered for a while before saying, "I want to ask the princess to remember that no matter what the world is, there is a cause and effect between the princess and the child, good or bad, it's just a thought. But please, princess, for the sake of this life, live with him in the future."

Concubine Luo was shocked, "Why did my great-grandmother say that?"

The old woman waved her hand, "What the old man said is the worst outcome. If it's good, then naturally it doesn't have to be like this."

Concubine Luo pinched the hem of her cuffs, she felt that this man and Qin Shou both knew something, but they didn't explain it to her.

The old woman continued, "The matter between the princess and the son-in-law should not be said by the old man. The old man only wants the princess to think more about everything. The world's affairs are deceptive, but what you see may not be true. You need to feel it with your heart. If you follow your heart, nothing will go wrong.”

These words made Concubine Luo calm down in an instant. Although the person in front of her was old, she had gone through vicissitudes of life and settled into a wise man. The so-called listening to the king's words is better than reading ten years of books, which is about the same.

The old woman next to her didn't say much, she shook her hands, and took out a small black-brown box with no visible material from her bosom.

"This is a meeting ceremony with the princess," she said, feeling the little box into Concubine Luo's hand, and clenched her fingers tightly, "When one day, the princess encounters a difficult situation that she cannot make a decision, and she will If it's related to the son-in-law, just open it and use it."

The small box was not heavy, and Concubine Luo did not refuse, "Xi Mi remembered it, thank you great-grandmother for teaching me."

The old woman smiled gratifiedly, and told her again and again, "Nanman's things should not be taught or used by outsiders, only for princesses."

Concubine Luo kept this in mind, she saw that the old woman couldn't see, she was really pitiful, so she suggested, "Great-grandmother's eyes are eye diseases? My emperor's elder brother has countless imperial doctors in the palace, why don't I invite my great-grandmother to treat her?" rule?"

The old woman suddenly smiled, and her serious face because of the deep nasolabial folds became friendly, "Silly boy, I was born with the ability to see things that are invisible to others."

Concubine Luo didn't know much about Nanban's strange things, since the old man didn't mind, she didn't mention it anymore.

"Go, the son-in-law should be waiting soon." The old woman said goodbye to Concubine Luo, and the small door of the bamboo building closed automatically without any wind.

She stood in the corridor of the bamboo building, walked a few steps and then looked back. Qin Shou was waiting for her under the bamboo building. Seeing her coming out, she nodded to her.

Concubine Luo touched the small box in her sleeve, she gathered herself together, and then greeted Qin Shou.

When the two came to the Nanman village, they left in a hurry without taking a sip of water.

What I have to say is that when they were leaving, the two accidentally bumped into Mo Xin, the witch who was sent back to the village by the King of Shunan.

Concubine Luo and Qin Shou didn't bother to pay attention to her, they would always ask the King of Shunan to make up for the money they made with Mo Xin.
