Chapter 809 The Queen has also grown up~

In a place within the territory of Jizhou in Yan area, Su Changan and his party left a town.

Once we entered Jizhou, everything went peacefully along the way. There were no trivial matters, and we didn't encounter any incidents that required us to speak up for justice.

I originally thought that there would be some chaos in Jizhou because of the previous unrest and the arrival of many gangsters or other people.

Not only was there no sign of chaos, but many people were also easy-going.

So although Su Changan and his companions were not in a hurry on this journey, they arrived much faster than the scheduled time.

However, whenever Xia Fengxiang took a rest on the road, he would walk in the mountains and forests. Sometimes, if horses and vehicles could pass, he would take a detour and not take the official road, but instead take another small path.

The woman's eyebrows are like the winding spring mountains. When she is worried, her pair of long eyes are like clouds and mist surrounding the mountains, and there is something wrong hidden in her heart.

Su Changan saw what she was thinking, but didn't ask.

The group was still walking slowly towards Jizhou City. If nothing unexpected happened, based on their current speed, they would be able to reach Jizhou City in a few days. But even so, it would be a few days faster than originally planned.

And in the carriage at the back, Su Changan was still wearing a veil on his head, sitting on the frame, with the old Taoist priest on one side.

Liu Fenggu and others were still riding their horses on both sides of the carriage.

The old Taoist priest looked at a forest and asked for no reason, "Is it bitter?"

Su Changan turned his head to look at the old Taoist priest, then at the forest. He reacted immediately and said with a smile, "It must have been hard here. I remember that our family cart was stolen, and all the things were taken away. My mother took care of me, and my brother took care of my mother and me. In the end, there were only a few things left to eat. It was also from here that my mother stopped taking me and my brother on the official road and started walking through the forest instead."

Su Changan looked at the mountains and forests, and everything was clear in his mind.

After hearing Su Changan's answer, Liu Fenggu and the others remained silent.

That day, the Queen Mother said there were fruits in the forest, which surprised them a little.

But unexpectedly, the Queen immediately smiled and said, "I am not from the capital. I am from a village in Jizhou, Yandi. It is a rural village. Yandi was in chaos and my family suffered a disaster. I fled to the capital. I was almost starving to death on the way. I was rescued by Your Majesty and became the adopted daughter of the Su family."

This simple remark made Liu Fenggu, Li Jinxiu and others stunned.

Because as everyone knows, the Empress is the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Su, and she has been recuperating in the palace, and has fallen in love with Your Majesty over time.

But at that moment, the Queen said that she was from Yan?

But at the same time, everyone was surprised and suddenly realized why the Queen had been investigating Su Qichi's affairs, and why she cared so much when others said that she was similar to Su Qichi.

But besides being surprised, everyone at that time looked at the Queen Mother with sighs in their hearts, because these few casual words, when combined with the Queen Mother's various deeds, were enough to be recorded in history books as an eternal story.

There is actually nothing to hide about this matter.

Xia Fengxiang concealed the fact before in order to protect Su Changan and give her the identity of Su Wenqing's granddaughter to make her legitimate and keep the villains away.

But now there is no need at all.

Especially now that you're back home, there's no need to pretend you don't know. You should just talk about it.

Countryman.

Su Changan felt it was great.

Moreover, Su Changan felt very proud when he mentioned his own family members, whether they were the Su family or the Su family.

Su Changan continued, "But it can't be said to be hard. After all, I wasn't the only one who was like that. There were so many people fleeing, many more like my family, and many more people who were more miserable than us. So at that time, everyone was suffering."

The old Taoist priest said, "If I had experienced the same thing as you when I was young, there would be one more person with a demonic mind in the world. He might not be able to see others doing well, let alone seeing other families living in harmony. If I had a knife, I would have drawn it. Why should others have the same experience as I did? Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs. If heaven and earth are not benevolent, then I will not be benevolent either."

After hearing this, Liu Fenggu and the others remained silent and just listened, because after such an experience, none of them could guarantee that they could still maintain the same state of mind.

Because I haven't experienced it.

Because even though we haven't heard the Queen tell her entire experience, everyone here knows that fleeing often coexists with human nature, and human nature is the most difficult to say whether it is good or evil.

Su Changan said, "My father is a hunter, and my mother is a proper village woman. She can't read or write, but she always wants my brother and I to study hard. Fortunately, my father and my second uncle are good hunters, and we have a few acres of land at home. We live a good life, so my brother and I can study. Every day when we come back from the private school, my mother will watch us and ask us to teach her."

"As time went by, my mother took the words 'honesty, benevolence, and virtue' from our textbooks and told me and my brother that studying was not for us to pass the imperial examinations or anything like that. She didn't want to put pressure on us with those big ambitions. Ordinary people live a simple and ordinary life. She just wanted us to understand that people should be honest, benevolent, and kind in life."

"I have thought about what you just said, especially when my mother died. I felt like the sky was falling. Later, my brother cremated my mother and continued to flee with me. On the way, we met an old woman and her grandson. They had food. My brother and I hadn't eaten for two days. If we had robbed them, we could have taken them away. But my brother just told them to hide and not go into the mountains because there were bears and tigers there. Then he took me and left."

At this point, Su Changan smiled and said, "I really wanted to grab it at that time because I was so hungry and it felt so uncomfortable. I even asked my brother if I could grab some instead of all, but I got scolded. My brother scolded me once."

The old Taoist nodded, but said nothing, just looked at the Queen.

Su Changan continued, "We didn't find anything to eat that night. After all, everything we could eat on the road had already been cleared away, so we just curled up on the ground and endured the sleep. But in the middle of the night, my brother thought I was asleep, so he was there alone, holding my mother's ashes, crying and saying, 'I'm sorry, I almost couldn't help but snatch food from Changan today, I'm sorry, I'm sorry'. He talked for a long time, and I listened the whole time."

"I later understood that my brother was not afraid of stealing those things. After all, who would be afraid of anything at that time? He was afraid. As my brother, he let me see him stealing other people's food, becoming the person I was most afraid of becoming, and leading me astray. He wanted to continue to teach me how to behave because he was my brother."

Even Shentu Kuyue and Chen Xin remained silent and looked at Su Changan.

The old Taoist priest said: "Your mother and your brother..."

The old Taoist thought for a moment and then used very straightforward words to praise: "Your mother and brother are amazing."

Su Changan smiled. He remembered all his childhood memories. The memories of his past life were also there, but they were completely integrated. Su Changan could no longer tell what he was like. Anyway, that was himself, and the one in this world was also himself.

The old Taoist priest said, "A lamp in a dark room for a thousand years can illuminate it."

Su Changan heard this and smiled bitterly, "It's not that great, because I did have dark thoughts. When my brother died, I almost fell into them completely."

The old Taoist priest continued: "Although the light has gone out, the lamp and the stove still exist."

Su Changan felt embarrassed.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "I'm not complimenting you. Your Majesty is truly amazing. Just as I said just now, if it were me, I would definitely do what I said. And if I had been hungry for two days, I would definitely fight for the old woman and the child. Everyone in the world would fight for them, so why should I be a good person? But Your Majesty and your brother held on. No wonder Your Majesty was able to pass the second level of the Heart Demon Bureau at such a young age, and it was so easy for her to cultivate the Supreme Goodness Like Water."

The old Taoist priest added: "Your brother is very similar to you and Brother Qi Chi in this respect."

Su Changan sighed: "It's all thanks to mother."

The old Taoist nodded. A peasant woman with such a character deserves the word "remarkable".

However, Su Changan thought about it and said with a smile: "But in fact, my mother is very stingy. In this respect, she is very similar to my stepmother, the mother in the Su Mansion, who is stingy and nagging."

The old Taoist priest smiled and shook his head, then said, "My mother is the same!"

The old Taoist priest's words made everyone laugh.

But when everyone looked at Su Changan again, even the three old seniors, Liu Fenggu, Feng Jingtang and Qingshuang, had eyes full of admiration.

Such a state of mind is truly admirable. Although one may remember the mother's teachings in one's heart, they are just empty words if one does not stick to them.

In the carriage in front, Xia Fengxiang could hear what Su Changan said behind.

Xia Fengxiang sighed and took out a folded letter from a small bag at the side. He did not open it. After taking it out, Xia Fengxiang placed his hand on the letter. He could not see what was written on it. He could only see one word: "sin".

Ps: My condition has not been very good these two days, so the update time is unstable, but I will try my best to ensure two updates. There have been 130,000 updates this month.
