Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

General Xie came to Qinghe Village in the wind and snow and met his sister as he wished.

The brother and sister discussed in the room for a whole morning, and finally decided to live in the Yan family in anonymity and in a low profile, pretending that they were still Zhang Yuanniang, the fourth daughter-in-law of the Yan family.

The Jiang family and Queen Jiang are becoming increasingly powerful in the court. The Xie family has been guarding the northern border for many years, so it is very difficult for them to reach the capital.

Since absolute safety cannot be guaranteed, General Xie does not want to gamble with his sister's life.

However, in the north, it is guaranteed that it will be difficult for the Jiang family to infiltrate.

To be honest, in the north, the Yan family can do whatever they want.

The Xie family is the strongest backing and the safest umbrella of protection.

The reputation of the Yan family itself has long spread throughout the north.

In ancient times, fame was a good thing and something that scholars pursued throughout their lives.

They value their reputation more than their life, because a good reputation not only brings social status and respect, but is also the key to realizing their life value.

Reputation represents a person's moral character and behavior.

Scholars pay great attention to personal moral cultivation, and most of them have been influenced by Confucianism.

I have a better understanding of the principles of "cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world."

Therefore, they will always pay attention to their words and deeds, and strive to be consistent in their words and deeds.

Reputation is also an important asset for scholars to achieve success in their official careers.

Under the imperial examination system, if a person wanted to pass the exam and enter officialdom, in addition to having real talent and knowledge, he must also have a good reputation.

Only in this way can you get the appreciation and promotion of examiners and superiors.

Yan Nansheng had noticed this when he was taking the examination for the scholar degree. When he offered advice to the county magistrate and went to the provincial capital to offer suggestions to Lord Ji, he was also laying the foundation for a good reputation for himself.

Reputation is also related to the family's honor and inheritance.

In ancient times, the concept of family was strong, and the reputation of one person would often affect the reputation of the entire family.

Therefore, Yan Nansheng had already begun to work hard among the younger generation of the Yan family and incorporated the importance of family honor into the Yan family rules.

The Yan family has already suffered a huge gap in their clan. If they want to return to the capital and restore the family honor and avenge the shame, they can't rely on Yan Nansheng alone.

The rise of the entire family is inseparable from all members of the Yan family, including the side branches.

Everything is moving in a good direction now. In this life, Yan Nansheng not only has to deal with the stupid heroine, but also has to stand at the pinnacle of power.

This way my life in this world is worthwhile.

I guess by now, my aunt and sisters-in-law have already received General Xie's letter, right?

******

"Madam, please slow down and be careful with your steps."

"Oh, the snow is really heavy this year. It's just the beginning of winter and it's snowing so heavily."

Madam Xie held the hand of the nanny and paused, "I don't know what's going on in the northern border. The snow in the capital is so heavy, I don't know what's going on with the master."

The nanny's face was also filled with worry.

Yes, the north is much colder than the capital.

"I will ask someone to pass on the peace and blessings I prayed for in the temple to you, Lord."

"Yes, old lady."

This time, the old lady came with a maid and several guards to burn incense.

The guards rode their horses beside the carriage.

"Whoa..." The carriage suddenly stopped.

The car body shook for a while before stopping.

Mammy's voice came from the carriage, "What happened? You're so impatient."

"What will happen if the old lady is hurt?"

"To answer Madam, a child suddenly ran out from the snowdrift ahead and fell in front of the horse. I quickly reined in the horse and that scared the old lady."

"Child?" Old Madam Xie lifted the curtain and looked outside.

After taking one look at it, I never looked away.

"Quick, quick, help her in!"

Seeing the old lady's nervous expression, the others, although surprised, obeyed the order and carried the child into the carriage.

There was a charcoal brazier burning in the carriage, and the thick curtains blocked the air, making it as warm as spring.

Su Zhenzhen didn't expect her luck to be so good. She had originally just planned to try her luck here and get a ride to take her back to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, he had caught the real culprit. Looking at the ordinary but profound carriage, there were five or six horse-riding guards following outside.

It's exactly as written in the book.

This was the scene when Yan Nansheng's aunt, Old Lady Xie, went out to burn incense.

I am really the girl of destiny! Such a coincidence can happen to me.

I don’t know who the protagonist is?

Old Madam Xie had been staring at the gold hairpin sticking out from Su Zhenzhen's chest since she was carried into the carriage.

This, this is Yuanyuan’s stuff. It is the dowry left by her mother-in-law for Yuanyuan, and it is also a birthday gift made by her father-in-law for her mother-in-law.

No doubt! At that time, everyone was still sighing at how loving the old Hou and his wife were.

The hand that holds the sword to kill the enemy can actually create such a delicate gold hairpin. I guess it must have taken a lot of effort.

Seeing that the old lady was staring at the hairpin, the nanny also went forward to check.

"Ah! Isn't this..." She looked at Mrs. Xie in horror.

"Yes, it's hers."

Five years ago, Concubine Xie in the palace was assassinated when she went out to burn incense and her whereabouts are unknown.

No one in the capital dared to discuss anything about Concubine Xie, not even by name.

There was a young maid in the palace who was questioned by His Majesty for talking about this matter, and her family was also implicated.

After this incident happened, the entire imperial palace became extremely secretive about Concubine Xie.

At this time, a child appeared in the suburbs of the capital wearing the imperial concubine's golden hairpin. This seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

But Mrs. Xie no longer cared.

That is Yuanyuan's gold hairpin. What is the relationship between this child and Yuanyuan? Why is there this gold hairpin?

Madam Xie didn't dare to think any further.

Ever since she got married, she has been getting along very well with her sister-in-law Xie Xiyuan.

Because there is a ten-year age difference between them, I have always raised her as my daughter.

Her mother-in-law passed away early, and Xie Xiyuan lost her mother at a young age, so Mrs. Xie loved Xie Xiyuan even more.

Because Su Zhenzhen was in a "comatose" state, she kept her eyes closed. Old Madam Xie stared at Su Zhenzhen's eyes, trying to find the answer from her face.

But after all, it can be seen that this should be a girl.

But because Su Zhenzhen had suffered a lot along the way, and because she looked like her mother Liu, she was naturally charming, so she smeared her face black with mud and soot.

I have to say that she still has a sense of crisis.

For a moment, Madam Xie couldn't figure out what was going on, so she simply gave up.

Take her home first and wait until she has been washed.

After all, the gold hairpin cannot be fake, so just wait until she is well before asking.

Old Madam Xie already had some guesses in her mind, and now she looked at Su Zhenzhen with eyes full of love.

Perhaps feeling the kindness emanating from Old Madam Xie, Su Zhenzhen finally fell asleep peacefully.
