Chapter 128 Ting Ye's Secret You are not someone else, but a family member.
At the end of the story, most of it was about the capital, and because he was in the capital, Gu Ting had a sense of participation in this part.
When he first heard that Tingye was Ye Pengzhen's 'dead husband', he was very shocked. After thinking about it carefully, he had some clues. He looked at Ye Pengzhen and guessed: "You found him, but he didn't recognize you?"
Ye Pengzhen wanted to roll her eyes when she thought about it: "Maybe I have some troubles, I'm afraid I will be hurt."
Gu Ting: "What's the trouble?"
"It's just that I don't know, it's even more annoying! I've been entangled with him for so many years, can't it prove my intentions, how can he be like a dead clam shell, and never open his mouth?" Ye Pengzhen couldn't hold back, and stared full of resentment Gu Ting asked, "Aren't all of you men like this, arrogant and self-righteous, as if as long as you don't implicate others, it's a great merit, why can't you ask, do others want to be implicated? Are you happy to be implicated, or are you happy?" Are you happy not to be implicated?"
Gu Ting: ...
Subconsciously glanced at Huo Yan, for some reason, he suddenly remembered last year's great danger in Jiuyuan, the spread of corpse poison, Huo Yan thought that he was about to die, and wanted to bury himself alive, and his eyes could not help but accuse.
Huo Yan didn't know whether he understood or didn't understand, anyway, he didn't say anything, touched his nose, and looked away.
Ye Pengzhen didn't look at the eyes of the young couple, and stared at the room with the bead curtain inside: "Dog man! Stuffy gourd! It's irresponsible to run away if you tease him, you deserve it all your life!"
His eyes were angry, and his voice was also angry, as if to see how my old lady would deal with you in the future.
Gu Ting originally wanted to plead for Ting Ye, saying that you see him admitting to being cowardly, and he almost knelt down to you just now, do you want to consider being gentler?Thinking about it again, let it go, maybe Tingye would be happy if he was dealt with like this?
Poor Ting Ye is still asleep, completely unaware of how many times the atmosphere outside has turned around because of him.
Thinking of himself, Gu Ting asked Ye Pengzhen hesitantly: "From what you said, Mr. Ting is not acquainted, but his attitude towards me is a bit special, seems to be a little too concerned?"
Ye Pengzhen was stunned, with a slightly complicated expression: "Then he has to explain it to you himself, and I don't know. I only know that he lost all his family members many years ago, and he has been blaming himself for this."
"Family?" Gu Ting's expression became even weirder, "Could it be that I—impossible, my mother's surname is Wang, and it's Gu Qingchang who is the concubine, everyone knows."
Ye Pengzhen paused, and said softly: "Actually, I have a doubt in my heart. Who did you learn your medicinal cooking skills from?" Is it this biological mother, Mrs. Wang?
Not long ago, Huo Yan also asked this question.
Gu Ting glanced at Huo Yan, and the answer was the same as before: "My mother passed away early, and I didn't have time to learn anything from her. Since I was a child, there was a box with some medicinal books in it, and I didn't treat it as a book at first. Baby, I learned the characters later, and I thought it was pretty good after reading it, so I learned it."
Ye Pengzhen asked again: "Your mother... is she good at cooking?"
Gu Ting was quiet for a moment: "She passed away too early and too long, I don't remember. I just remember that I should have been very happy when I was a child, playing crazy all the time outside, never being forced to do or learn anything, at that time Everything about it is probably taken care of by her personally."
There is no need to ask whether the medicinal diet will be available, he must not remember it.
However, Huo Yan provided a direction: "Medicated food is no more than cooking. It is not an ordinary cooking skill. If you want to hide it, you can't hide it. If you know it, someone must ask for it."
Although time has passed for a long time, Gu Ting has long been unable to remember the events of his childhood, but for so many years, he has been living in Jincheng, more or less, people around him will mention the deceased Wang to him, and the most mentioned must be memory The clearest point is that if Mrs. Wang really understands medicinal diet and knows how to use medicinal diet, it is impossible that no one has mentioned it.
But Gu Ting has never heard of it, it's just that there is no such thing, Wang's probably... doesn't know how to eat medicine.
The two people present were smart people, so he didn't need to explain too much, they understood immediately.
Gu Ting's eyes were out of focus, and he murmured: "Everyone just said that my mother is beautiful, a little crazy, a little fierce, unreasonable, and independent. No one ever said she could eat medicine..."
In his previous life, he never encountered this problem, and he never doubted it. Thinking about it now, it seems really strange?
Ye Pengzhen is a keen and cautious person, she will never talk nonsense, she must have doubtful evidence to speculate like this, could it be true... there is something wrong with his life experience?
A little too unexpected and miraculous, he couldn't believe it right away.
Ye Pengzhen seemed very happy, looking at Gu Ting very gently: "If so, it would be great."
She has no family, and Ting Ye has never had a family, and regrets being lonely because of this. If... everyone can have a bond, it will be complete.
"Then Lao Shizi Gu's family, don't worry about it, I'm so good, stop being a family member with me!" The more I hoped, the more I felt that this should be the case, Ye Pengzhen's eyes sparkled and she was very enthusiastic.
Gu Ting leaned back in shock, um, a little shy, subconsciously glanced at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan hugged him and squeezed his palm: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
It would be good if it was true, the little thing has always been generous, and has never expressed his desire for family affection, but it can be seen from his attitude towards the palace, especially the princess, that he longs for family affection. , I feel that I don't care, but if he can have a family, can have that kind of consummation...
Although I have a little jealousy in my heart, as long as the little thing is happy, he can be happy.
This time, is there really any surprise waiting for the little thing?
Huo Yan looked at the room behind the bead curtain. Judging by his age, he must not be his elder brother, nor could he be his father. Could it be... Uncle?
"No need to guess."
Suddenly there was a clear and clear voice in the room, slightly hoarse, it was Tingye, he woke up, I don't know if he just woke up, or he woke up for a long time: "Gu Ting is my nephew, my sister's child."
"Dog man!"
Ye Pengzhen suddenly jumped up and ran into the room, Gu Ting and Huo Yan followed immediately.
Ting Ye not only woke up, but also sat up on the side of the bed, leaning on the soft pillow, and seemed to be in good spirits, not as weak as before, as if he had recovered a lot after sleeping and resting enough.
But his complexion is still not very good, pale and bloodless, and he is too thin.
Ye Pengzhen was so distressed that she didn't have the heart to ask anything else, so she quickly ordered porridge and wanted to feed him herself.
"No need," Ting Ye took the bowl and took the spoon from her hand, "I'll do it myself."
Ye Pengzhen didn't care about this, anyway, since everyone was found, how could it be turned upside down?See if you dare to run again!
A bowl of porridge was not much, it warmed the stomach, Ting Ye put it down, knowing his physical condition, he didn't want any more, looked at Gu Ting, tender and painful: "You are my sister's child, my sister."
Gu Ting pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond: "You... are not in good health, do you want to rest first?"
Huo Yan shook his head: "I'm not tired." He glanced past Huo Yan and Ye Pengzhen with a solemn expression, "My family has been the guardian of treasures for generations."
"Ok?"
"Treasure Keeper?"
Ye Pengzhen and Huo Yan were shocked. What does it mean that the whole family is a treasure guard? What kind of treasure is guarding?And these words sound very unusual... Is it really good to say it so simply?
As if seeing their thoughts, Ting Ye smiled wryly: "Up to now, it seems that there is nothing to hide. Is it really necessary to bring the secret into the coffin? But - it's a long story, so don't stand still, Sit down."
Huo Yan moved the chair to the side of the bed, and added a cushion for Gu Ting, Gu Ting gave him a disgusted look, on a hot day, who doesn't want to cool down, and needs a cushion?
Ye Pengzhen poured a glass of water for Tingye to drink, and she didn't leave, she just sat on the edge of the bed, next to Tingye, Tingye only twitched her eyebrows, and didn't push her away.
"How did this dynasty come about? Everyone should know?" Ting Ye went straight to the topic.
The three looked at each other and nodded.
The founding emperor of Great Xia was originally a grassroots man, and there were three brothers with different surnames who helped each other and fought against the country together. In the beginning, one of the three brothers with different surnames was from Wu, one specialized in agriculture, and one was a businessman. The farmer was originally sent to Guzang to open up wasteland and benefit the people, and was later conferred a title. He has been passed down to this day as the king of Guzang. As for the merchant, he disappeared in the long river of history long ago, and he has never heard of it until now. .
Huo Yan's eyes flickered: "This merchant, if I remember correctly, seems to be surnamed Ting?"
Ting Ye nodded: "Yes. Wars are raging and the world is in chaos. At first, everyone had no selfish intentions. They just wanted to survive, have food, and live a peaceful life with their family and friends. Fighting is for the big guys, and the founding of the country is for everyone. Guys, all people have the same ideals and beliefs. Emperor Yuan had a wider vision and believed that money is very important no matter whether it is fighting a war or governing a country. They were sent out to focus on making money outside, and kept it secret, not many people knew about it. It was too chaotic at that time, they couldn’t control all the places, it was too public, and they were afraid of being robbed.”
"It must be difficult and difficult, and the waves are magnificent. Fortunately, they all survived, and everything went smoothly all the way to the founding of the country. Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, rewarded the meritorious officials, and granted the title of prince and prime minister. Everyone's hard work has been rewarded. Only the family No, he did not become an official, nor was he appointed as a marquis, but continued to hide. Because Emperor Yuan looked at the world, he felt that the world was full of devastation, and everything was waiting to be done. Every step down, he needed more money to support him. He was full of ambitions, Entrust this matter to the ancestors of the family, and help him make money as before. Only this time, there is an extra task of saving money."
He paused, adjusted his breath, and continued: "Since ancient times, power has devoured people. Emperor Yuan worried that if he sat in this position for a long time, he would become greedy and lose his original intention. , after removing the principal, find a place to hide it, and when he needs it, give it to him in batches without him asking. This is a kind of trust for the family and a boost for the emperor, and everyone is very happy , there is no suspicion. The family is best at business affairs, and all their ambitions are also in this line of business. They have no interest in becoming an official in the court. As for power, he is already the emperor's sworn brother. What power can be greater than this? With his ability and the support of Emperor Yuan, the amount of silver deposits has been increasing almost every month, and when it accumulates in the end, it is an astonishing number."
"In the beginning, it must have been effective, but after that, the rivers and rivers changed day by day, the emperor on the seat changed, the master above him changed, the heirs had their own ideas, everyone had different ideas, one side wanted to oppress power, the other side wanted to keep it own life and treasure..."
All the people present are smart people, there is no need for Ting Ye to say more about this, Gu Ting and the others will understand it thoroughly.
Emperors are virtuous and mediocre, ministers are loyal and treacherous, and patriarchs are upright and evil. Since ancient times, people make money, and dead birds eat and die. I also know that the final outcome cannot be good.
Ting Ye closed his eyes slightly: "My ancestor was the first house of the Ting family, and later it became a side branch. I don't know when, there was a mission to protect these things. It is said that the emperor is not benevolent, and treasures cannot be discovered. This money should be used when it should be used, taken from the people and returned to the people.”
"But when is it time to use it? We don't know. There are many considerations and taboos in the predecessors. Some people have righteous hearts and some have evil hearts. For some reason, these things have not appeared in the world until today. The past has disappeared in the years, and the truth I don’t know how, but I only know that in my generation, I still have to guard this mission. If you don’t keep it, there will always be people coming to you, but I…” He smiled wryly, “I didn’t even know that these things required me. Where is the guarded thing?"
The room fell silent.
Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. This has been the case since ancient times. I don’t want to be more exaggerated. I don’t even know where the wall is. Too many secrets are lost in the inheritance. The fate of a person is like duckweed, and it is completely out of control.
Ting Ye: "Because of this rare treasure, the children of the family are few and far between. Up to now, I am the only male left. Some elders left too hastily and didn't say what should be said. I didn't know anything at that time. I knew that my parents died to save me, and so did my sister.”
"My parents left early. I was almost brought up by my elder sister. I have a deep relationship with her. In order to save me, she knocked me out and put me in a dark place. She led the enemy away without looking back. I didn't dare to move at that time. , my sister forced me to swear on her life, let me leave that place, and never go back. At first I listened to her words very much, but after that she never came as promised, I couldn't bear it anymore, and quietly went back to that place The city, search carefully. But there are always people harassing, I dare not be careless, I can only check slowly, bit by bit, and finally in a small county town a little far away, I saw the signal left by my sister, only me Only with her can I understand the signal. Following that signal, I found the letter my sister left me in the bank."
As if recalling the scene at that time, Ting Ye's voice was a little sour and even hoarse: "The letter said, if I can read this letter, she must be gone... She told me repeatedly, don't look for the truth, don't look into her affairs, People will be watching, but she has to tell me some things, because we are the closest people in the world, if I don't say it, I will definitely blame her when we meet in the future."
"She didn't come to me on purpose. It was an accident that day when she led the enemy away. She fell off the cliff and was seriously injured. She lost her memory and forgot who she was. Fortunately, a kind person rescued her. She I got married and had a child. If things ended here, they were happy. How could the hateful people let them go? Someone found her soon. Probably because of this stimulation, my sister recovered at the most critical time. I lost my memory, so I didn't go home at all, and started to make plans...Unfortunately, it was unfortunate in the end, brother-in-law...She was not saved, only the two-year-old child was successfully sent out."
"She told me that I have a nephew with fair skin and round eyes. She is very good-looking and cute. She gave it to a reliable person to be raised, but she didn't tell me who that person was, and she didn't let me look for it. I knew it too. For the sake of the child, no matter how much I thought about it, I held back and didn't look for it. I don't know... what she went through during that time, those people who stared at us were very powerful, and they didn't leave any traces when they did things. But I know, my sister must have suffered a lot."
Ting Ye took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly: "I don't dare to move too much. Over the years, I just do things little by little. From time to time, I slowly search for the truth of the year, collect the bones of my sister and brother-in-law, build graves for them and bury them together, and do a little bit more. Looking for news about my nephew... My sister should have been worried that I would be like this, and deliberately gave me wrong hints in the letter, so I have not been able to find my nephew until I met you in the capital."
He looked at Gu Ting and thought of the sunshine that day, it was so warm and dazzling: "When I saw you, I felt very kind, and for some reason, I wanted to protect you, especially that herbal soup...is our heirloom The taste is my mother, brought from my grandmother's house, the recipe is special, I can't make it, but my sister is the best at it, even better than my mother's cooking."
"I couldn't believe it at the time, and then I checked carefully, and finally found out the truth. The birth mother Wang you thought was Gu Qingchang's concubine did have a son who was about your age, but unfortunately the child died young, and Wang regretted it. , self-suffering, and even wanted to commit suicide. She couldn’t bear the consequences of losing her child. My sister knew her, but she wasn’t familiar with her. If she really knew her, others would have found you by touch. I found that she was a nice person, especially to protect her shortcomings, so I gave you... to her."
"Ms. Wang is not rich, she doesn't study much, and she doesn't have a lot of money, but she really protects her children and has a tough temper. She hides this matter tightly and doesn't let anyone know. She really treats you like her own son. Support. You have such a mother to protect you, so you shouldn't be living poorly, but everything is not worth it. Wang suddenly died of a sudden illness, and you were picked up by the Gu family, so..."
Ting Ye looked at Gu Ting, his eyes were moist: "You have suffered all these years."
Gu Ting felt that his nose was a little sore. Regardless of Wang's upbringing or his biological mother's contribution, he felt that it was too heavy. Everyone could have a good life, so why...
Ting Ye: "No one will rest assured of raising a child of unknown origin. Mrs. Wang is not stupid. She treats you like an eyeball and looks so closely at you. It must be something that my sister told her. She knows that your parents will not look for you. Come. I will name you Ting, which is probably a homonym, in memory of your birth mother's surname."
Stop, Ting, the same pronunciation, but different words.
Gu Ting's eye circles slowly turned red.
It turns out that he is not some superfluous child, he is well loved, put in the softest part of his heart, who wants to be pampered and give all good wishes.
He had everything that others had.
