Chapter 1: Start reading

Jinling, the great capital of Liang.
Wubao Tianhua is steaming, and even the city gate is different from other places. It is exceptionally majestic and solid.
In the stream of people who kept flowing into the city, a winged double-horse carriage was inconspicuously caught in it, shaking slowly, and stopped a few feet away from the city gate.
The car curtain lifted up, and for a month in white clothes, the young man with a clear face jumped out of the car, walked a few steps forward, and looked up at the word "Jinling" above the gate.
The two knights walking in front of the carriage noticed something strange in the back, looked around, turned around and ran over.
Both of them were dressed as noble sons, and their ages were roughly the same. The one who ran ahead asked, "Brother Su, what's wrong with you?"
Mei Changsu did not answer. He still kept his posture of looking up at the city gate, his expression stayed still, a black hair was blown up by the wind, and it was scattered on the pale cheeks, making the whole person reveal a deep vicissitudes and desolation. .
"Brother Su is tired?" At this time, another person also rushed to the front, concerned, and said, "It's almost here. I can have a good rest today."
"Jing Rui, Xie Bi," Mei Changsu's colorless lips flicked a faint smile, "I want to stand here for a while ... I haven't come for so many years, I can't think of Jinling City is almost unchanged, entered After the gate, most of them are still full of grandeur ... "
Xiao Jingrui was slightly stunned and asked, "Why did Brother Su have been to Jinling before?"
"Fifteen years ago, I was taught by Mr. Li Chonglao in Jinling. Since he was demoted from Beijing, he has never returned." Mei Changsu You You sighed and closed her eyes, seeming to wipe out her eyes. Flashy, "When you think of the first teacher, you can't help but sigh with the past as smoke and dust, as if the clouds are scattered and the water is dry, how can there be a day to come again."
Speaking of the former generation of Mr. Hongru Li, Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi couldn't help but look amazed.
Although Li Chong, a generational master who studied in the world, was called to teach the princes of the dynasty, he did not forget to set up the altar outside the palace wall.
Those who were taught in front of him were rich and cold, and there was no difference.
However, I did not know why I was angry with Tian Yan, and the body of Yi Taifu was demoted to white. He left the city indignantly and died sullenly. Sincerity is the pain in the hearts of the scholars of the world.
In the process of getting along with Mei Changsu all the way to Jinling, Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi felt that the brother Su had unfathomable knowledge and must have a lot of connections, but did not expect that he was actually taught by this old gentleman.
"Mr. Li Ruoquan knows, and he doesn't want to see Brother Su, you feel sad for him and damage his body," Xiao Jingrui persuaded in a low voice, "You are not well, we originally invited you to go to Jinling to recuperate, if you are like this Unhappy, let us as friends feel sorry. "
Mei Chang Su Mo, for a long while, slowly opened his eyes and said, "You can rest assured that since you came under the capital of the capital, you must always mourn the mourning of the deceased teacher's loyalty. Sadness? I'm fine, let's go into the city. "
It was almost dusk, the day market was closed, the night market was not up, and the street was a bit quiet. The three quickly rushed to the front of a magnificent palace. The plaque of the "Ning Guohou Palace" was hung high, which was very conspicuous.
"Oh, go in and report, the eldest son and the second son are back!" At this time, when the people were busy with the palm lights around, a sharp-eyed male servant turned his head to see them, and immediately shouted loudly, and greeted him at the same time.
The three of them got off the vehicle and dismounted, and the front and back passengers entered the gate of the Hou Mansion. The entrance was a shadow wall, and the word "Gu Guo Pillar" on the wall was actually a pen.
"Qin Bo, what about father and mother?" Xiao Jingrui asked an old servant who hurried out.
"Hou Ye is in the study, but his wife salutes the Buddha today and wants to stay in the Princess Palace."
"What about my father and my mother? What about the elder brother and Qimei?"
"Master Zhuo Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuo have returned to Fenzuo. Aunt Zhuo is walking with Miss Dai."
While listening to their question and answer, Mei Changsu couldn't help but laugh: "It's chaos, father and mother, and father and mother, plus you and your brother are not the same surname. I was dizzy. "
"Of course, people who don't know will be dizzy, but Jing Rui's life is also a legend. There are very few people who don't know."
"Xie Bi, you are always big or small, call me Big Brother." Xiao Jingrui deliberately flattened his face, and then the three laughed together.
However, the joke is a joke. In fact, Xie Bi is right. Xiao Jingrui's life is too bizarre, and it also involves the Ningguo Mansion of your family and the famous Tianquan Villa in the rivers and lakes. Indeed, no one knows between the Chaoye and the people.
Twenty-four years ago, Ning Guohou Xie Yu left his pregnant wife-when the imperial sister came to Princess Changyang to go to Xixia. In the same year, Zhuo Dingfeng, the owner of Jianghu Family Tianquan Villa, also sent his beloved wife in Jinjia to Jinling Entrust a friend to take care of himself and go to Miaojiang to master the war demons.
Unexpectedly, there was an unpredictable situation, and an epidemic suddenly known by the people as "lock throat" suddenly broke out. In order to avoid the plague, the dignitaries and nobles in the city have left and went to the nearby Qingjing Mountain Temple to avoid disasters. Coincidentally and skillfully lived in the east and west courtyards of the same temple.
Due to the loneliness in the mountains, the two wives had contacts, and both felt that they had the same temperament and often sat up together.
On this day, the two were gathering together to chat and play chess, suddenly burst into pain at the same time.
At that time, it was lightning, thunder and wind and rain, and the accompanying servants were in a panic until late at night. Finally, the cry of the baby sounded, and the two boys almost fell together.
Amidst a happy smile, the midwives took the two golden and precious little sons to bathe the baby in a large wooden barrel prepared outside.
At this moment, an accident happened.
In the ancient temple courtyard, a hollow cypress was hit by lightning, and a thick branch broke suddenly and smashed on the roof of the delivery room. The shattered beams were crooked, the window frame was also knocked down, and the wind rushed in. The house was lit by candles Extinguished, a scream.
The guards and maidservants panicked and grabbed the two ladies, and the midwives who were scared to fall backwards on the ground also scrambled to get the baby out of the wooden barrel and escaped.
Fortunately, there was no danger, no one was injured, and after re-selecting the room to settle the mother, the people suddenly sighed with relief and suddenly discovered a big problem.
The two baby boys who were carried out in the dark were naked and unconcerned. They were generally rumpled and cried with their mouths open. They weighed similarly and had similar eyebrows. Which one was born by Mrs. Xie and which was born by Mrs. Zhuo?
By the next day, the problem was more serious because one of the baby boys died.
Since Mrs. Xie was the Dangzhao Princess, this incident was inevitably shocked to Dangtianzi.
The emperor ordered the two to bring the baby into the palace and send a doctor to drop blood to recognize their relatives. Who knows that the baby's blood actually blends with everyone's blood. There is no difference at all. Looking at the appearance of the two pairs of parents, the emperor knows that it is difficult Done.
