However, before I tell this story, you... can you tell me why you want to inquire about this kind of old sesame and rotten millet? "
Tantai Pingchuan lit the small tea stove next to him, filled the small tea pot on it with water, and waited for the water in the pot to boil. He stood up and walked behind Xuanyuan Liang, asking him to lean back. Lean on yourself.
"You..." Shen Cha frowned slightly when he saw Tantai Pingchuan being kneaded by Xuanyuan Liang, "Is it uncomfortable? An old injury?"
"Yeah, it's a cloudy day today, and this old man is suffering a lot." Xuanyuan Liang smiled bitterly, "Before you guys came, he was still teasing me, saying that when I was young, I was too aggressive and didn't take good care of myself. , and then the root cause of the disease was found. When you get older, you will suffer." Seeing that Shen Cha wanted to say something more, he waved his hand gently, "Don't worry, didn't you bring me medicine? I still believe in Master Jin’s ability. After all, she has obtained the true biography of Huilan’s old monster. Okay, let’s talk about your business, why do you want to ask about stories from a hundred years ago?”
Shen Cha and Shen Haolin looked at each other and talked a little bit about Wan Yanping.
"We now have a suspicion that Wanyanping's mother clan may have an inseparable relationship with the Tantai family. Perhaps when the Tantai family left Yiqing Prefecture, they left a group of people behind and gradually integrated into the local area. As time goes by, you become a member of the Jin Kingdom." Shen Cha looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "Senior, is this possible?"
"Well, it should be impossible. My grandfather was loyal to Emperor Liang wholeheartedly and would never do such a secret thing." Tantai Pingchuan smiled, "However, my grandfather was indeed Leaving people in Yiqing Mansion is a helpless move."
"Oh? What is the source of this helplessness?"
"As you know, Emperor Liang was always generous to the Tantai family. The Tantai family had been stationed abroad for a long time and the place was relatively remote, so he agreed to bring his family with him. The Tantai family's family members were all from the general family. He is not a helpless person, and self-protection is absolutely no problem. But..." The Tantai family looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, and chuckled sheepishly, "Bring it with you. The family had many unexpected problems. At that time, the third lady was pregnant. Because the child had just been born, she could not bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling. The journey from Yiqing Prefecture to Xijing City was not very peaceful. However, Emperor Liang's decree cannot be delayed, so there is really no other way to leave the third lady in Yiqing Mansion."
"Only the third lady is left?" Shen Cha frowned, "No one protects her?"
"Of course there is. He is my grandfather's seventh brother and my seventh uncle. He stayed with twenty guards to protect the third lady. He waited until the child was born before setting off back to Beijing. But..." The water in the teapot It was already open. Tantai Pingchuan let go of Xuanyuan Liang, sat back down, and poured the prepared tea ingredients into the pot one by one. "There was an accident. The third lady had a difficult delivery, and the child passed away after giving birth. Even the child I don’t even know what she looks like. After Uncle Qi buried the third wife, he left Yiqing Mansion with the guards and the child in his arms, and returned to Xijing as planned."
"So, the journey back to Xijing was smooth?"
"Well, it went well. Grandfather sent someone to pick up Uncle Seven. Although there were some minor harassments on the way, they were all beaten away. In fact, except for the difficulty in giving birth to the third wife, which was not expected by grandfather, everything else went according to plan, and nothing happened in the middle. Any mistakes."
"What about the child? Did he survive?"
"Of course." Tantai Pingchuan smiled, "Growing up vigorously, that child is my father."
"Ah?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were startled and looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "Senior, this..."
"Did you not expect it? Are you surprised?" Tantai Pingchuan watched as the tea soup in the pot boiled again and the fire in the stove became smaller. "Due to the unexpected death of the third lady, my father lost his mother after he was born. Raised by my grandmother herself.”
Just as Shen Cha was about to speak, she heard footsteps coming from outside the tea room, and a child came in carrying a tray. The sweet soup on the tray was placed in front of everyone one by one, and even Ying Er, who was sitting in the back, got a bowl.
"Try it, this should be something you girls like." Xuanyuan Liang greeted Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Let's talk while eating."
Shen Cha picked up the spoon and took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Does it taste good?" Xuanyuan Liang smiled when he saw Shen Cha's appearance, "If you like it, let him make it for you and send it to the Duke's Mansion." He looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "In other words, stay here The one from Yiqing Mansion has nothing to do with the Tantai family?"
"The relationship is also a relationship developed by Sanfang later. It is not the manpower between my grandfather and me." Tantai Pingchuan put down the spoon in his hand, "I said before that I should think about it carefully. I remember someone once told me that after suffering After the liquidation, the remnants of Sanfang once appeared in the Kingdom of Jin. Perhaps it was at this time that they hooked up with people from the Kingdom of Jin." He looked at Shen Cha, "What does Wanyan Ping look like?"
"A rare beauty in the Jin Kingdom. If she didn't lead troops and wasn't so ambitious, she might be used as a chess piece by her father and her elders." Shen Cha looked at Tantai Pingchuan curiously, "Senior asked what does this mean?"
"Then it is unlikely that she is a descendant of the Tantai family, or that she is not a bloodline of the Tantai family."
"Why do you say that?" Shen Cha saw Tantai Pingchuan's determined look and asked in confusion, "You have never seen her before."
"You don't need to see her. If she is a beauty, she must not be of the Tantai family's blood." Tantai Pingchuan waved his hand, "You have read so many files, haven't you seen such a sentence? The Tantai family's son Yushu Linfeng , but the lady is speechless."
"It's hard to describe in one word?" Shen Cha couldn't help crying or laughing, "What kind of description is this? Does it mean that the ladies of the Tantai family are not good-looking?"
"That's true." Xuanyuan Liang finished his share of the sweet soup, "Not only in appearance, but also in physique, they are much stronger than the young ladies from other families. Someone once described the young master and young lady from the Tantai family like this. Their appearance suggests that they must have rebelled."
"I understand!" Shen Cha looked at Tantai Pingchuan carefully, covered his mouth and snickered, "Senior's appearance is indeed more delicate than that of ordinary girls. If Wanyanping stood in front of you, she would definitely feel ashamed. I’m afraid she can’t be called a beauty.”
"Naughty!" Tantai Pingchuan shook his head helplessly, "So, Wanyanping is definitely not from the Tantai family. As for the connection between her mother's family and the third room, I can help you through my channels. Check it out, but..." He spread his hands, "Don't have high hopes."
