Both old men Dou were very surprised by the niece who appeared out of thin air in front of them.
From the bottom of my heart, I counted all the relatives in the Dou family, big and small, but I didn't find that any daughter from the Dou family had ever married into the Yuwen family.
So, where did this cheap niece come from?
Looking up and looking carefully, the two old men discovered that the little girl who called herself Yuwen Xiuning looked a bit like a child of the Dou family! In particular, the common demeanor revealed in her behavior was quite like an old friend.
That is Empress Taimu Dou, the first wife of the late Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, who is said to have been dead for more than ten years.
"Girl, who is your mother?"
"What, stinky old man, you don't know who my mother is?!"
The willow eyebrows stood upright, the phoenix eyes widened, and Yuwen Xiuning looked like he was going to go crazy on the spot.
Seeing this, the little old man Dou Gui on the side quickly said with an apologetic smile, "Girl! It's not that I don't remember your mother, but that this happened too suddenly. It can't be done. Based on your one-sided remarks, I will conclude that
Are you a member of our Dou family?"
"Smelly old man, what do you mean? Is it possible, my aunt, that I still need to pretend to be a relative of yours? It doesn't depend on your virtues? If my mother hadn't been soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see the Dou family go to a dead end, do you think my aunt
Where would I like to come?”
"Yes, yes! The girl is right! I will never forget your great kindness to the old man's family! But please give me the name of the palace. We will pay homage to the Buddha three times in the morning and evening, and offer a stick of incense in front of the Buddha!"
"Humph! That's pretty much it! Old man, listen, my mother's real name is Dou, and her maiden name is De Rong."
"Well……"
When the two old men heard this, they looked so confused, as if they had eaten the skin of a dead child.
Regarding this result, the two old men Dou were not very surprised. They were even slightly happy.
After all, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts to hear that such a girl of theirs was still alive and had such a beautiful and capable niece!
But if they come forward again and reveal the surrender letter that this little girl forced them to sign, the two old men will not be happy at all!
Well, no matter what, signing a surrender letter betraying his brother in front of his sister is not a flattering thing. Therefore, the two old men Dou were entangled in their hearts.
Comparing Yuwen Xiuning's age and thinking of the fact that his mother was Dou Derong, the two old men immediately understood that the little girl in front of them was actually the biological daughter of His Majesty Taizu of the Tang Dynasty and the biological sister of His Majesty Li Jiancheng of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xiuning.
Although I don't know how this girl came here all these years and why she changed her surname to Yuwen, there should be no problem with her identity.
After a long while, Old Man Dou Kang came to his senses first and said, "Say, girl Xiuning, how did I hear just now that you seem to have become your godfather to His Majesty Dayuan? What's going on?"
"
"Did you know that His Majesty, the Great Ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, is your biological father? And His Majesty, the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is your biological brother? How can you help an outsider like Yuwen Chenglong poach your family?"
"Of course I know about this, my niece! However, my mother said that dad is a bad person! In order to survive, he left our mothers in Luoyang, but he escaped by himself. It was him who was unkind in the first place.
Yes! Later, it was my godfather who saved the lives of our mother and son, raised me to this day, and taught my niece all the arts in culture and martial arts. So, we, mother and daughter, naturally turned to our godfather!"
"Besides, my godfather also said that when it comes to fighting for world hegemony, the winners and losers have always been the winner. There is nothing right or wrong. It's just that old turtle Li Yuan. He shouldn't collude with the Turks to abuse the people of China! That's all.
Just one, and he will die unjustly, and he will die a hundred times without redemption!"
"And that little bastard Li Jiancheng, he dared to kill even his own father. He is really unscrupulous and inhumane. In fact, he is not a thing! This kind of scum should be chopped into pieces and fed to dogs!
"
Listening to their niece's murderous words, which had no hint of affection, the corners of the two old men's mouths twitched for a while.
But after thinking for a long time, the two of them couldn't think of anything to refute. How could the little girl tell the truth!
Suddenly remembering something, old man Dou Kang said quickly, "Since my niece is well treated in Dayuan, does she have any news about my Dou family in Qizhou?"
The so-called Qizhou is actually Fufeng County, one of the "Three Assistants of Chang'an" in the Tang Dynasty.
Today, the Tang Dynasty was bullied by the Yuan Dynasty and could only huddle in the city of Chang'an. As for the entire Guanzhong area outside Chang'an City, it was looted by the Yuan army, and Fufeng County, where the Dou family was located, was no exception.
When the Yuan army broke the siege of Chang'an and retreated to Xinfeng, Qiaowu and Pujin to guard the pass, old man Dou Kang hurriedly sent people back to Fufeng to investigate, only to find that the entire Fufeng had been completely evacuated.
It means that no chickens or dogs are left alive, and not even an inch of grass grows!
All that's left are rats starving to death!
The reason why the two old men Dou Kang and Dou Gui surrendered so quickly was because they hoped that His Majesty Dayuan would not overly abuse the children of the Dou family for the sake of their good sense.
"Those guys are doing well now! There is no shortage of food and drink. The adult children have all been given land, ten acres each. As long as they are not too prodigal, they can maintain a subsistence life. The underage children are also given away.
I went to school. There are also a few outstanding ones who were spotted by their mother and brought to her to train them. As long as they study literature and martial arts honestly and serve my godfather well, it may not be impossible for them to succeed in the future.
!”
What Yuwen Xiuning didn't say was that although many of the Dou family's children stayed in Sili, there were also many who relied on their family origins and were quite disrespectful to His Majesty Dayuan in their words. As a result, Yuwen Derong ordered him to be killed in anger.
He was sent to an overseas desert island to cultivate wasteland.
Although Dayuan has a relatively complete plan to solve the problem of acclimatization, these guys, who are usually spoiled and pampered, suddenly have to go to a deserted island where no one can poop, and the hardships can be imagined.
For many of them, whether they can return to Middle-earth alive in this life still depends on their luck!
The Dou family did have several outstanding children, who were taken by Yuwen Derong to teach them personally.
But these, without exception, are all women, and they are what Yuwen Derong plans to give to His Majesty the Hunjun of Dayuan to warm his bed in the future. As for whether these women can stand out among the huge inner court team of Dayuan, it depends on them.
His ability and fortune are amazing!
Naturally, the two old men Dou Kang and Dou Gui didn't know that there were so many pitfalls hidden in Yuwen Xiuning's words. When the two old men thought about it, these children of the family still had land and books to read, and they suddenly felt at ease. As for the other money
etc., it won’t be a problem!
In the minds of the two old men, the most important thing for the children of the aristocratic family is the inheritance of poetry and etiquette! As long as this thing is still there, the family will still be able to revive.
With this concept in mind, the two old men Dou quickly and neatly agreed to surrender, and promised Yuwen Xiuning that they could come forward to contact some knowledgeable people for Dayuan to discuss the important matter of surrendering to Yuan. (To be continued.)
