After noon, about five or six miles away from Songjia Village, outside a village surrounded by green water and green mountains, Song Yang, Song Qing, and Wei Linzheng of Yuncheng County arrived here on horseback with several guards.
"Two princes, this is Chenjia Village," Lin Zheng pointed out.
After taking a look, Song Yang nodded and said with some nostalgia: "Yes, it's right here. It was by the stream in front of me that my second brother and I met Mingxia!!"
Song Qing took a look at the surrounding scenery and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that there is such a paradise next to our Songjia Village. I have never been here before."
"The Marquis doesn't know something. Although Chenjia Village is not far from Songjia Village, there is only one mountain road in and out, and it is far away from the official road. Therefore, few people come here, and the people in the village rarely communicate with the outside world." Lin Tadashi explained.
Song Yang nodded, "I remember that Mingxia seemed to have said that the rules in their village were very strict and they didn't welcome outsiders, so we didn't go into the village to have a look."
"So, this Chenjia Village is still a bit mysterious," Song Qing said curiously.
"It's true, but that's not important. The most important thing now is to take Mingxia back to see her father. Let's go," Song Yang said with some anticipation.
"yes"
Soon, when a group of people came to the village entrance, they saw an old man wearing a bamboo hat and farming, leading a seven or eight-year-old child. After a somewhat surprised look, Song Yang immediately grabbed the horse and clasped his fists. He said warmly: "My father-in-law, may I ask where Chen Mingxia's home is?"
The old man took a look, especially Lin Zheng, who was wearing official uniform. He frowned slightly and said cautiously: "I wonder what this gentleman wants to see Mingxia?"
"Oh, we are her acquaintances," Song Yang said with a smile.
When the old man heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head and said, "That's really unfortunate. Mingxia has already left my Chenjia Village."
"What!!" Song Yang's expression changed and he said quickly: "Does my father know where Mingxia has gone?"
"I don't know, she left a few years ago."
"This!" Song Yang and Song Qing looked at each other. In this way, Mingxia did not come back at all after leaving Songjia Village.
Song Yang sighed, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, father-in-law."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious."
Just when Song Yang and Song Qing were about to leave, the child next to the old man suddenly said anxiously: "I know where Sister Mingxia is."
When Song Yang heard this, he immediately stopped again.
"Be brave and don't talk nonsense." After seeing this, the old man immediately covered the child's mouth and taught him a lesson anxiously.
After the child broke free, he said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Second uncle and third uncle don't allow Sister Mingxia to enter the village. Now Sister Mingxia can only live alone by the creek outside the village. She is sick." !!”
"Shut up," the old man said angrily.
Seeing this scene, Song Yang frowned, got off his horse, looked at the somewhat panicked old man, and said seriously: "Old man, don't be nervous, we are not bad people, but please tell us the truth."
The old man looked at it and sighed immediately, "Mingxia didn't abide by the clan rules and went out privately for ten years. Except for the favor of his mother and clan leader, she is no longer from my Chenjia Village. If this master really wants to see her, , just go to the creek! But if she commits a crime, it has nothing to do with my Chenjia Village."
Song Qing frowned, and when he was about to speak, Song Yang stopped him slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, father-in-law, let's go."
"Brother?"
"The most important thing now is to find Mingxia," Song Yang said solemnly.
When Song Yang and others left anxiously, the old man said worriedly: "I hope nothing will happen."
Soon, when a group of people came to a clear stream, they looked at a small thatched hut in front, and their expressions suddenly brightened. Song Yang quickly dismounted his horse and ran over in anticipation.
As they approached the hut, they heard bursts of coughing. At this time, beside a simple earthen stove outside the house, a woman in commoner clothes with messy hair was preparing to light a fire for cooking.
After Song Yang looked at it, he couldn't help shouting: "Mingxia!"
"Sister Xiaoyu"
Hearing this familiar shout, the woman trembled. After turning her head to look, a delicate and soft face that was indeed full of haggard appeared. At this time, her eyes showed deep surprise.
"Brother Song Yang"
"Fourth Young Master"
. . .
Not long after, Chen Mingxia saw an empty thatched hut and said with an apologetic face: "The house is too simple, I really neglected the two marquises."
"Sister Xiaoyu, if you don't feel well, please sit down and take a rest." Song Qing quickly helped her.
"Mingxia, why did you leave? Is it because of the second child's matter? Don't worry, the king will definitely make the decision for you. If the second child dares to betray you, I will definitely teach him a lesson." When Chen Mingxia sat down, Song Yang said seriously.
When Chen Mingxia heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, but she still shook her head quickly and said: "No, Mr. Hou, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Song Hai. It's because I feel there is no need to stay in the old house. In fact, I went to Song Hai Jiacun took care of Taigong, not only because of guilt towards my two brothers, but also because I wanted to leave Chenjiacun."
"Leaving Chenjiacun?" Song Yang asked unexpectedly.
"Well, I didn't understand when I was young. I just felt that there were too many rules in the village. But now, I really find that except Chenjia Village, I have nowhere to go," Chen Mingxia said with tears in her eyes.
Song Qing took a look and said quickly: "Who said you have no place to go? Our Song family is your home. After my father heard about you, he felt heartbroken and asked us to pick you up immediately. You come back with us. The Chenjia Village doesn’t want it, but our Song family wants it!”
"This Chenjiacun is really old-fashioned and unkind. Lord Marquis, why don't you lower your rank and find someone to teach you a lesson?" Lin Zheng said angrily after hearing this.
"No, no, this actually cannot be blamed on the patriarch and several uncles. I actually didn't know that before. After my mother died, I found out that our Chen family seemed to be descendants of the Southern Tang Dynasty. We were worried about the court's investigation, so we Hiding here!”
"Southern Tang??" Song Yang was stunned.
"Could the young lady be talking about Empress Li's Southern Tang Dynasty?" Lin Zheng said in surprise.
"Not bad." Chen Mingxia nodded.
"This..." Song Qing's face changed, and he said doubtfully: "Even if this is the case, it has been hundreds of years. The hatred back then has long since disappeared, so why should we be so cautious?"
"I don't know either. I just heard from my mother that the patriarch seems to be keeping some kind of secret."
"secret?"
Chen Mingxia smiled bitterly, "Actually, in my opinion, it is just a belief! No matter what it is, it has been hundreds of years old. Whether it is the legendary treasure in the village, or some magic weapon, martial arts and war art, it has long been meaningless. It’s just that the clan leaders use this as a shackle to gather people’s hearts, and they don’t want the descendants of the Chen family to be separated.”
When Song Yang heard this, he immediately showed a hint of appreciation and said with a smile: "So Ming Xia, you are still a descendant of the royal family?"
"How can there be?" Chen Mingxia said in a panic, and then said seriously: "Even if what mother said is true, the Southern Tang Dynasty has long been history, and Empress Li has nothing worthy of praise. Now only the Qi State established by the king is the real thing. existing"
"Haha, okay, that's right. It doesn't matter whether it's the Southern Tang Dynasty or any secrets. It's not important to our country of Qi. The strength of our country of Qi depends on the king's talents and strategies, the civil and military officials under his command, and the two hundred thousand loyal people. Soldiers of Qi State, what my father and your Majesty need most now is not any secrets, but to see you," Song Yang said seriously.
"Yes! Sister Mingxia, come back with us. As for the second brother's matter, the king will make his own decision. Nothing in this world can be difficult for the king," Song Hai said.
Chen Mingxia looked at the two people who cared so much and was moved to tears, and nodded gently.
"Haha, good" Song Yang said happily.
