"Aqi, do you remember that I told you, what is the name of the elder brother?" asked Zhou Dada.

Li Qiniang was stunned, and her doubts became even more serious: "Brother's single name is Hong, Zhou Hong."

Zhou Dada nodded: "Hong, the sound of bowing."

Bow sound?

Li Qiniang immediately remembered two lines of poetry engraved on the slingshot.

The iron horse went to chase the wind, and the sound of the bow frightened the geese.

"This poem..."

Zhou Dada smiled, but tears in his eyes: "Brother's name is taken from these two lines of poetry. Our Zhou family guarded the border after Taizu established the court, and passed down from generation to generation until the Jiazi case broke out...

When the elder brother was young, he was proud of his name. When he was five years old, he clamored to ask his father to teach him to shoot arrows, but he couldn't draw the bow, so his father found him a slingshot. Later, when he grew up to eight or nine years old, his archery skills were already very good, but his favorite was the slingshot.

Not only did he like to play slingshots, he also made several slingshots with his own hands, and also engraved the two lines of poetry he liked on the slingshot.

In order to engrave these two lines of poetry, he also specially consulted an aide in the mansion who was good at gold and stone. The aide said that using large seal scripts would make it look more elegant, so the eldest brother asked the aide to write it and carve it on the slingshot."

The doubts in his heart suddenly became a fact. Li Qiniang didn't know whether it was surprise or joy, or even pain!

When she was separated from her parents, brothers and sisters, she had just turned one year old, and she had no memory of what had happened.

When Zhou Dacheng talked about the past, Li Qiniang never empathized with her like she was now!

A little boy with a blurred face flashed through her mind, and clumsily carved words on the slingshot with a carving knife. After the carving, he proudly took it to his sister and told her that his name was in the poem. When he grew up, he would also be a general guarding the border like his grandfather and father.

Li Qiniang's eyes blurred. She trembled with her hands and picked up the slingshot again.

This slingshot has been hung in Xiaoman's study for a long time. Li Qiniang has wiped it more than once, but she never knew that this slingshot was so heavy!

The age and life are as heavy as the age and life that has stopped suddenly, and the age and life are as heavy as the vicissitudes of thirty years!

"Dong, Dong... Is Boss Dong the eldest brother?"

Li Qiniang's voice was also trembling. She covered her slingshot on her chest, and the hard arch handle hurt her, so close and so real.

Zhou Dada took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "...Don't worry first, let me check it carefully."

Li Qiniang kept nodding, she scraped her head and recalled every detail related to the Dong family siblings.

"Mr. Lu Er is in the capital, and he might know something.

Wanqian is very close to Sister Huai. Do you think this is because of blood?

By the way, I have never heard their siblings mention their mothers, nor have they mentioned their grandparents and other relatives.

When Sister Huai comes back, she asks Sister Huai to ask Wan Qian, how old is Xiaobai older after all, maybe she knows something..."

Zhou Dadang patted his sister on the shoulder and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be so anxious. Leave this matter to me. The Dong family is from the Jianghu, and I am from the Jianghu, and there are more ways than you who open a restaurant.

Don't rush to recognize the two children, don't scare them.

Forget it, go to the kitchen. I finally came back. Why don’t you make more delicious food for me?

And your prospective son-in-law, maybe you will come to have a meal again in a while.

By the way, when I entered the palace this morning, the Empress said that she wanted to meet Sister Huai. Have you thought about it? What should I do if the marriage between them is between them?"

Zhou Dazhen's words finally brought Li Qiniang back to reality.

Yes, her daughter's marriage is imminent.

"Oh, what clothes do Sister Huai'er have to wear when she enters the palace? I sewed a few new ones for her. I just don't know if she can wear them into the palace. There are jewelry. She doesn't like pearls and jade, so I had to give her a few pieces according to my preferences. Yinlou has not been sent here yet. Sister, why don't you go to Yinlou with me tomorrow and pick a few more for her..."

Zhou Dadang smiled and shook his head. This is a common problem for being a mother in the world. As long as you mention the child, you have to stand aside for anything else.

Despite this, Li Qiniang secretly told Yan Xuehuai about the slingshot.

It is conceivable that Yan Xuehuai's mouth was so open that he could stuff a whole braised egg.

Not only did she see that slingshot, she also used it to play with it.

The patterns on it are no, they are poems, and she has seen them, but she has not looked at them carefully.

Who knows that the poem is turning around in that song, and who knows that the uncle's name is hidden in that poem?

Who knows that Dong Da Sizi and her brother are probably her cousin and cousin?

"Don't tell Wanqian for now, that child is straightforward and can't hide things." Li Qiniang reminded.

Yan Xuehuai nodded. The Jiazi case occurred during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, and Zhou Wenbi really rebelled. The two camps under Zhou Shun did have mutiny. Unless someone conspired to frame them, unless this person was found, Zhou Shun and his wife would always be victims in the Jiazi case.

When Zhou Shun and his wife went to Datong to serve as generals, An Yuanhou relapsed due to his old injuries and had already retired and returned to Beijing to retire. Therefore, Emperor Gaozong acquiesced to Zhou Shun and his wife take their eldest son Zhou Hong to take their posts together, but did not keep Zhou Hong in the capital.

Anyuan Hou was already old and suffered from serious illness. When the bad news came back to the capital, he fainted and never woke up again. He swallowed a few days later.

Zhou Shun was the only son, and he had no legitimate brothers. After his death, the whereabouts of his three children were unknown. The once glorious Zhou family of Anyuan Hou Mansion was cut off from the incense.

Emperor Gaozong took back the iron certificate of alchemy on the grounds of having no son and did not convict Zhou Shun, which was regarded as retaining the last dignity for the founding fathers who had followed Taizu to fight the world.

But Zhou Wenbi, the culprit of the Jiazi case, was the home of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion. The fact that this case implicated the prince Zhou Shun has long been spread all over the world.

Because Emperor Gaozong did not convict Zhou Shun on the surface, many people were secretly talking about it, and some people thought that Zhou Shun was wronged, but everything was speculation.

So from when it started, the court only talked about the Jiazi case, not mentioning Anyuan Hou, let alone Zhou Shun, and the Zhou family of Anyuan Hou, which became a taboo since then.

Zhou Dacheng's family is Zhou Shun's daughter, and only when his family knows it today.

When Zhou Da family asked for revenge, they did not hide it in front of the former Queen Yu, and took the initiative to tell their own life experience. They used their weaknesses to gain the trust of King Yu and Princess Yu.

But to this day, the true identity of Zhou Dading's family is still a secret. People only know that she is an orphan adopted by Mr. Li, but they don’t know that Mr. Li is actually Zhou Shun’s deputy general, and they don’t know that the chief leader of the Cao Gang who famously controls the world is actually the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion.

Li Qiniang refused to let Yan Xuehuai tell Dong Wanqian about this. First, the matter has not been investigated clearly, and second, she was worried that Dong Wanqian would yell.
