The unconcealed joy made Li Yanzhou's lips rise, "Mom, the ground is cold, please call the star map!"

The lady slowly came back to her senses and said softly: "Master Long, please come up, there is no need to be too polite!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Long Xingtu stood up and said, "Today I am disturbing my wife, I really have important matters to ask for advice on the national case."

"Master Long, please come in and talk."

"yes."

After entering the hall, the Dragon Star Map also paid homage to the Marquis with a pious service and explained the purpose of the visit.

The Marquis smiled and said, "That night happened suddenly. I privately recommended Master Long without obtaining Master Long's consent and put Master Long on a dangerous ground. This is my Marquis' sin. It should be my Marquis expressing my apology and thanks to Master Long!"

Long Xingtu said warmly: "The Marquis is serious. His skill is good and able to serve the country is a blessing for the Star Map and his job as the Star Map."

"Father, there is a new problem with the fourth prince. I will discuss it with you separately. Stay tuned by Star Map to ask your mother about some things about Fanbian. Is it OK?" Li Yanzhou interrupted.

The Marquis nodded: "Okay, let's go to the study."

Li Yanzhou left unscrupulously, and was both comforting and instructing him, "Mom, the child will take care of his health, don't worry anymore. In addition, please be sure to take good care of the star map. She is the child's most important guest."

Maybe I felt guilty and Long Xingtu’s face was hot and hot, and I felt that sooner or later my face would be thrown away by Li Yanzhou!

It turns out that he is a long-winded mother-in-law and mother-in-law man!

"Master, I have never seen Yanzhou attach so much importance to his friends." The lady was surprised and couldn't help but look at the Dragon Star Map secretly, exclaiming: "Well, she is a handsome and polite young man. Don't say Yanzhou likes it, I also like it."

"Mrs. I am too proud of Xingtu." Fearing that I was able to see something, Longxingtu tried his best to remain calm, and naturally scolded Li Yanzhou in his heart.

The Marquis smiled and said, "Du Mingcheng wrote to him that when he was in Wuyang County, Master Long saved Yanzhou's life. This great kindness, Master Long and his wife will repay Master Long! In the future, Master Long is not only Yanzhou's friend, but also the most honorable guest of the Marquis' Mansion in Anguo!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xingtu hurriedly said, "Mrs. Marquis, don't take you two to heart. The Young Marquis has also saved me. We are all right to help each other for our friends. It is important to investigate the case now. When the future is long, Xingtu will chat with you again."

The Marquis was happy, "Okay, when the case is settled, I will definitely drink and chat with Master Long, and I will stop drunk!"

After speaking, the father and son left.

The housekeeper presented the tea and sent the retired people.

The Dragon Star Map is straightforward and said, "Madam, time is tight, so the Star Map will not go around the corner. If there is any rudeness in words, I hope the wife will forgive me."

The lady smiled gently, "It's okay, just ask whatever you want. As long as it is something I know, I will definitely tell you everything."

"Thank you, my wife." Long Xingtu said: "You are the niece of the Queen Mother Xian. You have grown up in Fanbian since childhood. Can you tell whether there are platycodon lanterns in Fanbian? What does it mean?"

The lady was a little stunned: "The poor people in the foreign countries often use horse lanterns, and lanterns are used by wealthy families. The border trade between the Xia Dynasty and the foreign countries has been open for many years. Various lanterns from the Xia Dynasty were introduced to the foreign countries, and the surface of the lamps was also rich and there were all kinds of colors. However, I have never heard of lanterns having special meanings. For the foreign countries, it only has the function of lighting."

"So, how is the difference between a handmaid and an ordinary woman?" Long Xingtu continued to ask.

The lady thought for a while and said, "The girl comes with the mission of marriage, and must come from the family of noble ministers of foreign countries. After the previous maid gets married, the Khan will designate the next maid to replace him. The minister who receives the order must give birth to a healthy daughter within one year, and then a red lotus is tattooed on the bottom of the child's feet, meaning a holy daughter who is not stained with mud. After that, after the child is a hundred days old, he will be sent to the Mahayana Temple, isolated from the world, and cannot even meet his parents. He will not be able to emerge from the world until he is twelve years old."

"Can the handmaid leave the territory of the Fan State before she gets married?"

"Can't."

The problem that Long Xingtu has been unable to understand gradually becomes clear. As a maid, Meng Yu had never been to Fengyang before, but was related to Fengyang unless...

The lady suddenly said again: "Master Long, I remember that the Queen Mother said first that before the maid married, there must be a magistrate sand on her left arm."

"Thank you, madam. This information is very important. Please think about it carefully to see if there are any omissions." Long Xingtu said slightly excitedly.

The lady shook her head, "Others... I have been away from Fanbang for too many years, and I really can't remember it."

Long Xingtu thought briefly, "By the way, madam, do you know the envoy Meng Jian?"

The lady sighed quietly: "Although the Meng family is a big family in the foreign country, I left my hometown and fled to the Xia Dynasty at the age of sixteen. I have never returned yet and have no connection with the foreign country. I am actually a little unfamiliar with the people and things in the foreign country."

"Escape?" Long Xingtu was shocked.

The long-standing painful memories were rekindled. The lady pressed her hand and her heart, and her voice was a little erratic. "The old emperor had not ascended the throne yet. My aunt was not favored in the prince's mansion because her aunt was calm and could not compete for favor or flatter her. Some evil people in the foreign courts became interested and framed my father for rebellion while my family was weak. My father got the news in advance and sent someone to send me to the Xia Dynasty to join my aunt. Soon after, the Khan searched my father's house and exterminated the clan. In order to protect me, my aunt

I was married to the brave general of the Xia Dynasty, and I am the Marquis of Anguo today. My aunt has a son, and later because of her outstanding talent and outstanding knowledge, she is very favored by the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away, my cousin succeeded to the throne and became emperor. My aunt was respected as the empress dowager. The Fanbian showed her kindness in every way and wanted to ask me to return to the Fanbian to restore the family, but I refused every time. I don’t want to return to the land that had hurt me. My relatives are all in the Xia Dynasty. Even if I die, I am still a ghost of the Xia Dynasty and have no connection with the Fanbian."

The tears accumulated in Long Xingtu's eyes rolled rapidly. She never knew that the lady who always had a kind smile on her face actually had a life experience similar to her!

She opened her mouth several times, trying to call out "Auntie", but it seemed like something was stuck in her throat and she couldn't make a sound...

But the lady was frightened by the reaction of the Dragon Star Map, "Master Long, what's wrong with you? Is it me..."

"Sorry, Madam, it's Xingtu that it's lost its composure!" Long Xingtu quickly sorted out his emotions, "I just felt sad when I heard about Madam's family affairs."

The lady smiled and cried: "Things that have not been mentioned for many years have been dug up again today. It has delayed Master Long's precious time. I...I feel very sorry."

"No, I am lucky to be able to talk to my wife today, which is a blessing from the Star Map."
