Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Master Bai frowned and said, "Alright, hurry up and get up. If you have something to say, let's talk about it. We are a family now."

Lin Fugui looked at them and said, "Actually, Chou Chou is not my grandson. His real name is not Chou Chou, but Gu Sinian, the grandson of Gu Ping, General Gu."

Master Bai looked at him dumbfounded: "Gu Sinian?"

"Well, he is Concubine Nian's child. That year, Concubine Nian had a hemorrhage before she died.

She also knew that she would not survive. If she died, no one would be able to protect Chouchou, so she had Chouchou sent to the Gu family.

In order to conceal the truth, the child was fostered in the farm, but no one knew how the news leaked out.

That night, more than 130 lives in the village came to an abrupt end.

The wet nurse's child and Chouchou had been raised together, but those people simply killed the wet nurse's child.

I hid in the abandoned stable on the farm with Chouchou in my arms and escaped.”

This concubine Nian is the daughter of General Gu Ping.

She grew up in the general's mansion and was pampered by her family, which led to her developing a naive and romantic yet somewhat arrogant character.

When she was young, her eyes curved when she smiled, as if hiding bright stars.

When they first entered the palace, the emperor and his empress lived in harmony and were very affectionate.

With Daji's entry into the palace, everything changed. Concubine Nian smiled less and less, and a trace of loneliness and unwillingness often flashed in her once lively eyes.

But even so, the pride in her bones made her disdain to fight and compete, and she just silently guarded her own world.

Madam Bai frowned and said, "I've never heard that Concubine Nian has a child!"

Lin Fugui wiped his tears and said:

“Actually, I’m not very clear about what’s going on in this palace.

But I have a piece of jade here, take a look, is it useful?"

He trembled as he took out a jade pendant from his bosom, on which was engraved the word "year".

Li Dongyang looked at him and said, "Even if you say so, there's no way to say he's Concubine Nian's child!"

Master Bai said, "Go and bring Chou Chou in."

Lin Fugui directly carried Chouchou in. Li Fengyang looked at Master Bai and said:

"How could Concubine Nian hide such a big thing from everyone?

We were officials in the imperial court at that time. You didn't really believe what the old man said, did you? "

Chouchou was carried in directly, with a somewhat uneasy look on his face as he asked, "Master Bai, did I do something wrong?"

Master Bai and Li Dongyang looked at him, and Master Bai said calmly, "Fugui! Wipe his face clean."

The other children did not have as good treatment as Lin Wanwan. Not to mention taking a bath, even washing their faces was not realistic.

Chouchou hasn't washed his face for several months. Now that there is water, he is still reluctant to use it.

It's like someone who has been poor for a long time and suddenly becomes rich, but still can't bear to spend it.

Mrs. Bai took a handkerchief and wiped his face. When he finished, everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Dongyang coughed and said:

"It's obviously his child. Damn, I thought he was rejuvenated.

Oh my! None of his dozen or so sons look like him. "

Master Bai looked at him and said:

"Let's just make his face a little dirty! It's so uncomfortable to look at it every day!

I felt like I was back in the morning court.”

You don't need to look to know how much Chou Chou looks like the current emperor. The current emperor is actually not very old, only about forty years old.

But in ancient times, people in their forties were considered to be old. Lin Wanwan remembered that she had seen the average life expectancy of the ancient population in her previous life.

The average life expectancy in the Xia and Shang dynasties before the Qin Dynasty was about 18 years old.

The average life expectancy in the Zhou and Qin dynasties was around 20 years old.

The average life expectancy in the Han Dynasty was about 22 years.

The average life expectancy in the Tang Dynasty was 65.6 years, in the Song Dynasty it reached 64 years, in the Yuan Dynasty it was 64.9 years, in the Ming Dynasty it was 70.4 years, and in the Qing Dynasty it was 71.3 years.

If the number of infant deaths is taken into account, the average life expectancy in the Qing Dynasty would be reduced to over 30 years old, and the average life expectancy in other dynasties would be even lower.

This is because the medical level in ancient times was limited, the sanitary conditions were poor, the diet was unbalanced, and wars and natural disasters were frequent, and the labor intensity was high. These factors seriously affected the lifespan of the ancients.

Master Bai looked at Lin Fugui and said, "Fugui! Are you giving us a hot potato?"

Lin Fugui kept his head down, and after a long while he said:

"General Gu Ping was kind to me. That year, I went to Bianjing to make a living, but it wasn't that easy. I finally managed to get a job as a waiter in a restaurant, earning a few dozen coins a day.

I didn’t expect that one time when I was serving food, a customer knocked it over. The customer was not polite and just slapped me in the face.

He asked me to kneel down and lick the fish off the ground, and also asked me to compensate him for his clothes. At that time, I was still a bit arrogant and refused to kneel down.

Later, the boss and several others beat me up and I was almost beaten to death. It was General Gu Ping who passed by and bought me.

This child is his grandson, so I must save him. So I plan to find General Gu Ping after entering the capital to see what to do next."

Lin Fugui didn't know who Concubine Nian's son Chou Chou was. He only knew that the grandson of this benefactor must be sent back to the Gu family.

Master Bai waved his hand and said:

"Don't be so excited, I'm telling you the truth!

Even if you go to Bian Jing now, you may not be able to find General Gu Ping. He should be guarding the border now.

There is no rush now. You should hide his identity well and make plans after we enter Bian Jing.

We must continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

Just as they were about to speak, they heard a commotion outside.

Master Bai hurried out and saw a dozen mastiffs coming down the mountain and running towards them.

Following behind them were over a hundred people. Madam Bai frowned and said, "These people are here with ill intentions, aren't they? Could they be Qian Chengyang's men?"

Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "Have the archers ready and be prepared for battle at any time."

Now they have a team of more than ten people. These people are carefully selected. Each of them has a bow and crossbow in his hand, and the lethality of the bow and crossbow is still extremely strong.

In the woods, the little carpenter not only made various cabinets every day, but also made more than a dozen crossbows.

The more than one hundred people rushed over quickly. Mrs. Bai held Lin Wanwan in her arms, and Lin Wanwan saw the mastiffs.

These mastiffs are huge, with muscles bulging high under their fur.

On the broad head, a pair of copper bell-like eyes flashed with a fierce light, staring at the front, which made people shudder.

They opened their bloody mouths, revealing their sharp fangs, and stepped powerfully on the ground with their sturdy limbs, raising dust with every step. Their momentum seemed to crush everything that stood in their way.

The leader looked at them and said, "Hey! Did you see anyone coming down the mountain?"
