I, the orphan of a traitor, is in demand

The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.I was planning to go back to Xia Nianzhen to ask for clarification, but then I thought about her and just finished arguing with Yi Xuan.Generally speaking, according to the temperament of her young lady, the anger should not subside at this moment.I didn't want to get involved in her private affairs with Yi Xuan, so I endured it.

In the early morning of the second day, I was going to Xia Nianzhen's Wenxi Courtyard, but as soon as I reached the gate, Yi Xuan and Wen Lan blocked my way.Yi Xuan said: "Yiqiu, it's raining so much, where do you want to go?" I paused first, and quickly responded: "I'm a bit bored, I want to go for a walk."

"Go out when the weather is fine. It rains so hard that it's easy to catch cold." Yi Xuan walked from under Wenlan's umbrella to mine. He hugged me and led me to the courtyard.I thought Yi Xuan would leave after sitting for a while, but who would have thought that he would sit until the evening.Today, he stayed by my side all day. In the evening, he ordered someone to take two quilts and rested next to me.

It rained heavily for two days in a row, and Yi Xuan also guarded me for two full days.I began to doubt Yi Xuan, guessing the real purpose of his inseparable companionship.I had nothing to do after lunch that day, so I tentatively asked Yi Xuan: "Is Princess Shu still angry?"

"Yiqiu, between you and me, you should not talk about outsiders' affairs." Yi Xuan's face was full of disgust.I said: "She is your regular wife, not an outsider. If you want to talk about outsiders, it's just me."

"The emperor bestowed the marriage. She and I just took a formality. I never put her in my heart, but you have always been there." If it were in the past, I would definitely have enjoyed these words for a day or two, but now , I listened to it but it was really unpleasant.I changed the subject: "It will be Ching Ming in two days. Yi An used to do the tomb-sweeping work, but now he doesn't know where he is. I want to go back to Pingyang."

Yi Xuan said: "Nowadays it's raining continuously, the road is slippery, and it's difficult for cars and horses to travel, just let Wen Lan go for a ride."

I said: "They gave birth to me, raised me, and now they even have to hire someone to do the tomb-sweeping for them. Wouldn't I really be an unfilial useless person?"

"It's because I didn't think carefully." Yi Xuan was silent for a few seconds, and seeing my expression change a bit, he said: "I'll go with you tomorrow morning." I didn't say any more, and I agreed.After dinner, Yi Xuan sat in my room for a while and chatted some gossip before leaving.

Just after dawn, two carriages drove out of Wanzhou City in the rain.Pingyang Town is not too far from Wanzhou, and when the weather is fine, it can be reached within four hours.Now it's raining, the roads are muddy, and it's hard for cars and horses to move.Arriving at Pingyang Town at dusk, Wen Lan found an inn to settle down.Tired from the journey today, I took a hot bath, ate some porridge and fell asleep.

When the sky turned white, Wen Lan took advantage of the time to buy some paper money, incense candles and other things.The carriage continued to drive to Daijia Village. At this time, the rain had gradually stopped, and after a long bumpy ride, it arrived at Daijia Village.Daijia Village is not too big, there are hundreds of households at a glance.The thatched huts are scattered, corresponding to the landscape. I got out of the carriage, and Yi Xuan and Wen Lan followed me.

I stepped into the village, and Yi Xuan quickly stepped forward to support me: "Slow down, the road is slippery." Wen Lan held a sword in one hand and a grave object in the other, and followed behind Yi Xuan.After a few steps, a group of men and women in coarse clothes came towards me carrying paper money, incense candles and other things.Those people stared at the three of us curiously, and I saluted an old woman: "Excuse me, do you know where Dai Changshan is buried?"

The old woman stopped, and those who were walking with the old woman also stopped.Maybe the old woman didn't hear what I said clearly, her expression was blank, Wen Lan repeated: "Old man, do you know where Dai Changshan is buried?"

"Dai Changshan, is he dead?" The old woman looked startled, her gaze fell on the incense candle in Wen Lan's hand, and she refused to move away.Another thick male voice sounded from the crowd: "Dai Changshan moved away with his wife and children ten years ago."

I hurriedly said, "Has he ever come back?"

"Never came back." The old woman glanced at me and Yi Xuan again: "Designed Changshan died?" The wrinkled face was full of disbelief.I replied: "He is dead." The old woman hurriedly mourned: "Why did he die, what about the three sons, what a pity."

"Yes, three sons, one is called Dai Yi'an, the other is called Dai Yiqiu, and the other is called..."

"Replace with spring."

"Yes, yes, the three brothers of the Dai family look good."

"However, Changshan is dead, why didn't his son send him back to his hometown for burial?"

The old woman asked: "Who are you Dai Changshan?" I didn't want to answer, and Wen Lan and Yi Xuan didn't make a sound.Seeing that the situation was not right, a young woman tugged on the sleeve of the old woman: "Mother, it's getting late, let's go." Everyone discussed loudly, and left slowly, each went to visit the grave.

"Yi'an, why did you lie to me?" My heart was stuffy and stuffy, and my throat was a little sore.I clearly remember last year and before that he said he was going back to Daijia Village in Pingyang to visit the grave, but Dai Changshan was not buried here at all.

"Yiqiu, let's go back." Yi Xuan's face was calm. "Why did Yi'an lie to me?" I was in so much pain that I couldn't help but burst into tears: "He told me that his father and mother's tomb is in Daijia Village, Pingyang. Why are they saying that now?"

Yi Xuan didn't respond any more, and carried me back to the carriage by himself.As soon as I returned to Pingyang Town, it started to rain again.After returning to the inn, I changed into clean clothes and sat in the room without saying a word.I really couldn't figure out why Yi'an would lie to me, not to mention that he had no reason to lie to me about this kind of thing.Xia Nianzhen's words suddenly flashed through my mind, and the word "Ling Dan" became bigger and bigger in my mind, as if these two words wanted to squeeze out my head and jump out.

I have a terrible headache.I hit indiscriminately and knocked the teacup on the table to the ground.The door creaked, and Yi Xuan came quickly: "Yiqiu." I turned my face away so that he wouldn't see the tears in my eyes.Yi Xuan approached me, and I said, "Yi Xuan, I want to stay by myself for a while."

"You are like this now, how can I rest assured that you can stay by yourself?" Yi Xuan walked to me and knelt down, holding my hand tightly.I tremblingly said: "Yi Xuan, am I annoying?" Yi Xuan comforted me softly: "I'm not annoying."

"Then why did Yi'an lie to me? He said that his father and mother were buried in Daijia Village, but there is no one here; he said he would come back to pick me up, but now there is no news from him after so long, does Yi'an want me? ?”

Yi Xuan put his arms around me: "Yiqiu, Dai Yian doesn't want you, I want you." I was slightly startled.When did I become a person who can be thrown away, taken in or kept?Yi An never asked my wishes when doing things, and Yi Xuan never considered my mood when doing things.

It was very cold outside, and I went to bed after lunch.Yi Xuan stayed by my side and refused to leave. I was depressed and didn't want to speak. Yi Xuan was afraid of disturbing me, so he didn't speak.

After staying in Pingyang for two days, I ran out of pills, and Yi Xuan ordered his chariots and horses to drive back to Wanzhou in the rain.After returning to Yifu, I was depressed for two whole days.After lunch on the third day, I left Yi Xuan and went to Zuixianglou with a servant in the rain.The rain was so urgent that my shoes, socks and pant legs were soaked inside and out.Liu'er hurriedly greeted me and took the umbrella in my hand.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Liu'er, I went upstairs and knocked on Liu Banyan's door.After standing at the door for a while, there was no movement in the room. Liu'er ran over to accompany him with a smile and said, "Master Yiqiu, Sister Yan has been feeling unwell recently, maybe she has fallen asleep and hasn't woken up yet. Why don't you sit down for a while ?”

I shook my head and said, "No, I'll just wait here." Liu'er persuaded me several times, but I still refused to leave.Seeing that I had made up my mind, the hall shouted for refreshments again, so Liu'er ignored me and turned to greet the group of young masters.

I don't know how long I stood, my legs gradually became numb.I shivered as the coldness crept up my legs.The servant saw that I hadn't returned for a long time, so he went upstairs and said, "Master Dai, it's getting late, let's go back."

I whispered two words: "No hurry." The servant didn't make another sound, and stepped aside.Seeing that he was bored waiting, I took out some broken silver to him and said, "Go get some tea and fruit, and wait while you eat."

The servant took the money, thanked him, and went downstairs quickly.I stood in front of the door for a while, and the carved door creaked.Liu Banyan stood at the door, with light makeup and thin clothes, looking very lazy.

"Sister Banyan." I saluted Liu Banyan. "Come in." Liu Banyan lifted up the green clothes that drooped to his shoulders.I stepped into the room, Liu Banyan poured me a cup of hot tea, "How is Mr. Dai?"

I said: "I'm just such a tattered body, I'm sorry for Lao Banyan's sister."

"My lord came here in the rain, I don't know what's the matter?" Liu Banyan leaned lazily on the chair, touched the pearl hairpin on his head, his charming face became more tired.I said: "Actually, it's nothing wrong, it's just that I haven't seen Sister Banyan for a long time, and I miss it a little."

"Second Master Dai still misses me, it's really hard for you." Liu Banyan took a sip of tea and stared at me with a half-smile.I said, "Sister Banyan and Yi'an have known each other for how many years?"

"No more, no less, this year is exactly the tenth year." Liu Banyan leaned back slightly, and pulled Luo Qun to cover her legs: "Why does Second Master Dai ask this?"

"I was ill before and forgot many things. Now there is one thing I can't remember, and I want to ask Sister Banyan to tell me." Liu Banyan was more vigilant: "Although I have known Dai Yi'an for a long time, I do not know what happened to him. Not all of them know."

"Sister Banyan should know about this matter." I am very sure that ten years is long and short. "What's the matter?" Liu Banyan pretended to be lazily messing with the hair hanging by his ears.I said directly: "Sister Banyan, please tell my father and mother where they are buried."

Liu Banyan's face changed a bit, and she pretended to straighten her clothes again, avoiding my gaze.I said: "Dai Yiqiu has doubts in his heart, and I hope Sister Banyan will tell me."

"When people die, the fallen leaves return to their roots. They are naturally buried in Daijia Village, Pingyang." I looked at Liu Banyan, who deliberately turned his eyes.She was avoiding, and for the first time, I felt that my life was not real.Yi An lied to me, Liu Banyan also deliberately lied to me, and Yi Xuan and Xia Nianzhen were even more suspicious.

I know that Liu Banyan must know something, but if she doesn't tell me, there is nothing I can do.I got up and gave a salute, thanked me, and left Zuixiang Tower with my servants.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, there were very few pedestrians on the street, a lot of water had accumulated on the road, and the rain was splashing.
