Du Heng got up from the desk leisurely, didn't know why he was dizzy just now, and looked carefully at the Chengyue brocade factory logo in his hand, Shuangyue overlapped, the surrounding vines were entangled, and the leaves were intertwined. Just like Zhao Shinan and Du Heng, they are intertwined and dependent, and they will never give up.

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the morning of Beiping City is still quiet, the night of firecrackers is noisy, the air is still diffused with the smell of fireworks, if according to the customs of old Beijing, the first day of the Lunar New Year is the time to visit relatives in the New Year. Du Heng carried the suitcase, went to the newspaper office to call the editor-in-chief Zhong, and stepped on the southbound train. After all, she still can't rest assured, she wants to return to the long-lost Nanjing, the long-lost Yangzhou, to see what happened to him.

The hometown is even more timid, and he doesn't dare to ask anyone. Du Heng's mood is complicated, she has a familiar cowardice towards the Jiangnan landscape of that city, where there is her cheerful and carefree, beautiful and innocent childhood, but there is also a locked youth, unbearable past.

When the train arrived in Nanjing, Editor-in-Chief Zhong told Du Heng the reporter's contact address, and Du Heng went directly to his home, and the landlord told her that the reporter had something to do and didn't know when he would come back. Du Heng stayed in a nearby hotel for three days, but he still didn't wait for the reporter, gritted his teeth, and Du Heng got into the car back to Yangzhou.

When Du Heng, who was wearing a coat and his hair up, knocked on the door of Du Zhong's house, Du Zhong and Pei Lan couldn't believe their eyes. It's been five years, Du Heng only occasionally came to seal the family letter, Du Zhong's regretful intestines were broken, I knew that this was the result, no matter how difficult it was at the beginning, he shouldn't have sent his well-behaved and smart sister to the deep mansion compound of the Zhao family. Pei Lan cried even more when she thought about it, and wondered all day if Heng'er was bullied outside, and whether she could eat well and dress warmly.

Now that Du Heng is back, he is also generous and more presentable. Pei Lan grabbed Du Heng's hand in surprise, and couldn't believe his eyes: "Heng'er, is it really you?"

Du Heng hugged Pei Lan tightly, but he couldn't stop his tears: "I'm sorry." Pei Lan was in tears, just patting Du Heng's back, and she was already choked up and speechless.

Entering the house, Du Heng looked at the familiar scene, and his heart was rolling for a while. Du Zhong's eldest daughter has reached the age of going to school, and the youngest daughter Du Ruo has just kept her head, but her body is weak and she coughs non-stop, and even Pei Lan asked her to call her aunt, but she is only timid and does not dare to speak.

Du Heng talked with his family for a long time, asked about the situation of Du Zhong and Pei Lan, and finally asked the question he was particularly concerned about: "Shi Nan, are you still in the Zhao family?"

Du Zhong and Pei Lan looked at each other, Du Zhong couldn't help but hum: "What do you care what he does, what does he do-------" Pei Lan raised his eyes and glanced at Du Zhong, and Du Zhong took his mouth. Pei Lan patted Du Heng's hand, looked at her carefully and asked, "Do you still care about Shi Nan?"

Du Heng didn't say anything, but asked softly: "I heard that the Zhao family's factory was sealed, is he okay?"

Du Zhong interjected: "I heard that it was arrested." I didn't even see him at the family sacrifice. "The old custom in Jiangnan that on Chinese New Year's Eve must be taken by the head of the clan to sacrifice to the ancestors. This is also the grandest and most solemn festival day of the year, no less than Qingming. If Zhao Shinan is not even absent here, something is really wrong.

Du Heng's hand trembled slightly, Pei Lan held her softly, and wanted to ask Du Heng and Zhao Shinan what was going on, but looking at Du Heng's dejected appearance, he still didn't speak. Du Heng's heart was in turmoil, how could he be arrested, what was it for?

For a while, he couldn't sit still, and said to Du Zhong and Peilan, "I'll go out and inquire." ”

Du Zhong frowned and said, "Where are the Great Zhengyue going?" After a pause, he said, "In this way, I asked someone to find Jackal Feather, he is familiar with it." With that, he sent someone to Zhao's house to find Jackal Yu.

After more than two hours, Jackal Yu came over, saw Du Heng, and thought of Zhao Shinan, and felt bad in his heart: "Young grandma-"

Du Heng hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, how can I be arrested?"

Jackal Yu sighed and said, "It's not Cheng Yuejin who is making trouble. The government saw that Cheng Yuejin had won the award, and the momentum was good, so it wanted to make Cheng Yuejin an official and pay the young master a sum of money. The young master refused, so he ------- "Du Heng knew in his heart, this is because Zhao Shinan is not happy to give the silver, so it is better to directly occupy the source of this wealth." If you want fish, you might as well have a pond. But Cheng Yuejin is Zhao Shinan's hard work, how can he be willing to hand it over.

"How long has it been?" Du Heng asked.

"It's going to be a month. Jackal Yu shook his head helplessly, "If only Brigade Commander Ma was still here, but in the autumn, Brigade Commander Ma was transferred to Chahar, and at this point, I don't know who else to help." ”

"Where is it closed? Yangzhou, does it matter?" Du Heng asked, his heart was already beating out of bounds.

"Nanjing. Jackal Yu replied, "But for a few pieces of silver, you can go in and have a look." I just went to see it a few years ago, and I didn't suffer any offense. ”

At this time, Du Heng's heart was relaxed, and it was good that people did not suffer. Du Heng sighed and asked Jackal Yu: "Is there anyone in the clan who can find a way to do it? ”

Jackal's expression was very heavy: "This time I heard that it is the meaning of the above, and the people who can find it are not able to do anything." He who makes the upper force does not know it. Although Jackal Yu has never served Du Heng, because he is the old master, he does not speak angrily: "Several masters in the clan have worshiped a lot of disciples, and everyone shook their hands when they heard it, and the old lady was so anxious that she was bedridden, and there was no way." Young grandma, you know a lot of people, help the young master. ”

Jackal Yu said it casually, he knew that even if he didn't speak, the young grandmother would definitely not stand by and watch, and Du Heng was willing to help in Brussels, let alone in Yangzhou. But Du Zhong was a little unhappy when he heard it: "The Zhao family has a big business, and my sister is blessed and can't stand it." ”

The jackal feather also knew how to do it, and didn't speak again. Du Heng thought for a while and said to Jackal Yu: "Tomorrow, you can take me to Nanjing to see the young master." Ask about the situation, and then I'll make a decision. The jackal feathers departed.

Du Zhong wanted to say something, but Perrin glanced at him, and the two of them went out of the house. Pei Lan said softly: "I know what you want to say, Heng'er has suffered a lot of sins over the years. But look at this situation, Heng'er is only afraid that he came back for Shi Nan. No matter how you say it, it's also a husband and wife, what else can you do if you marry a chicken and a dog and marry a dog?"

Du Zhong shook his head and said, "This is really a clean official's hard to cut off family affairs-----

Pei Lan smiled and said: "I know that it is difficult to break the Qing officials, what else is involved." I'll go arrange food for Heng'er. Du Zhong also sighed and followed Pei Lan.

Du Heng sat on the chair, holding his forehead with his hand and only felt dizzy. When the subordinates saw Du Heng coming back, the topic that had been put aside for a long time picked up again, and whispered about the length of the Zhao family, and Du Heng only received one sentence in his ears: "The madman who was locked up by the Zhao family also ran away when I heard it." ”

Du Heng was startled, and hurriedly raised his eyes to call the two mothers-in-law under the window in and asked, "Who is the crazy person who is locked up?"

The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other and cautiously replied: "It's the second aunt of the Zhao family, who has never had a round house, called-" The other reminded her: "It's called Mallow." The previous mother-in-law said: "It's called Mallow, and then I was locked up by the young master of the Zhao family somehow, and I heard that I can only pass it in from the cave to eat and drink, and it's better than a cat and dog." It's also pitiful. It's been five years, and people are crazy, either shouting or singing all day long. ”

Another mother-in-law continued: "In the first few days when the young master of the Zhao family was arrested, he took advantage of the chaos at home, shouting that there were snakes in the house, and when the next person entered, he ran away and never disappeared again. I don't know if I'm dead or alive now. ”

Listening to what happened to Mallow, Du Heng's heart was very uncomfortable. The woman who threw lotus leaves and lotus flowers to her in the lotus pond called Xiaoyu seemed to be the same as yesterday, but she has fallen to this point now.

Du Heng's return spread from the Du family's subordinates, and it didn't take long for it to reach the ears of the Zhao family. Mrs. Zhao was already bedridden with a headache, and her head hurt even more when she heard the news: "What are you doing when you come back again, do you think this family is not messy enough?"

Poria was serving Mrs. Zhao on the side, but her hands began to tremble. After so many years, what she was afraid of finally happened, and Du Heng came back. She is the young grandmother of this family, and she is also the person Zhao Shinan cares about. She came back, afraid she had nothing left. Poria didn't just have a headache, but a cool breath from the bottom of her heart, which frightened her even more than the news that Zhao Shinan was arrested. She couldn't help but open her mouth to test the old lady's tone: "If the young master comes back, she must still want the young grandmother to come back to be the housewife." ”

Mrs. Zhao didn't have the heart to tell her who would be the housewife, she was only concerned about her son's safety, so she didn't respond, and her mind was still thinking about who to find to save Shi Nan.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, Poria's heart was cold again. Did even the old lady acquiesce? Her world suddenly became dull.

Du Heng was in a hurry to Nanjing with Jackal Feather the next day, and after not seeing him for several months, Zhao Shinan became a lot more haggard, and when he saw Du Heng, Zhao Shinan hooked his lips and smiled: "I knew you would come." ”

Du Heng's heart tightened, and through the window, he grabbed Zhao Shinan's hand tightly, forcibly held back the tears that were about to fall, looked at Zhao Shinan and said, "Shinan, I will find a way." You wait for me. ”

What can she do? Zhao Shinan smiled faintly: "You pay more attention to your body." I have people in my tribe here to worry about. Looking at the weak Du Heng, his heart felt a pain of being torn, and he didn't want this little woman to run for himself anymore. should have supported her by herself. But now the world is unpredictable, and I don't know when I'm here.

Zhao Shinan paused, looked at Du Heng and said, "Heng'er, I've thought about it, the divorce you said before, I agree now." ”
