Chapter 113: Shocking news
A person slowly walked out of it and asked, "Liu Da, what did you call me?"
Liu Da picked out a big plug for him among the few silver horns he had just obtained, and Nunu said, "See? Such a young child, you can go?"
Hu Laosan accepted the silver, looked at him in his sight, couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and said, "I'm not dazzled, right?"
Liu Da patted him and said, "What are you dazzled!" and go up to help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hey, why don't you let one more person in?"
"What are you talking about!" Liu Da struck him on the head with his hand, and said, "Can you enter casually? ”
Hu Laosan rubbed his head and said, "It hurts! Don't hit the boss." I'll go. ”
Xu Wanzhen followed behind Xu Wenyu, although she let him do it. But when I saw him carrying a food box, walking hard but not saying a word, I couldn't help but worry about my heartache.
From the carriage to the door, although it was only a few dozen steps, Xu Wenyu walked hard. After all, he was only six years old, and the food box was half a person's height of him, so no matter which position he changed, it was quite difficult.
She thought about it, and when she entered the door, she would give some money to the jailer who was guarding the door, and ask him to help him call someone to help. Just thinking about it, a man in his thirties came out of it, came up and took the food box in Xu Wenyu's hand, and said: "This kind of rough work, let the villain do it, the little master will go with me." ”
Xu Wenyu looked back at Xu Wanzhen, and saw that Sister A nodded to him, so he let go of the food box in his hand.
Entering the prison gate, Hu Laosan led the three of them all the way inside. Mrs. Xu was on crutches and led Xu Wenyu, and Xu Wanzhen walked at the end with her clothes and bedding.
The prison of Dali Temple is called the prison by the common people. But it's not as eerie as one might think, with high walls and narrow alleys, and silence.
Among them, the people who are imprisoned are all people with status, and they can't see the hustle and bustle of ordinary prisons. But occasionally a scream came from the depths, thinking that it was interrogating the prisoner? made Xu Wan feel heartbroken, and Xu Wenyu also held Mrs. Xu's hand tightly.
Hu Laosan turned around and comforted: "Old lady, don't be afraid of the young lady, the young master, it's far away." ”
In Xu Changzong's case, because the imperial heir was involved, the father and son were kept alone in the depths, not with other prisoners. After walking for a while, I came to a cell door. Hu Laosan said: "This is it." ”
stepped forward to put down the food box, took out the key to open the cell door, and said, "The Xu family, a family member has come to see you!"
The family heard that it was a merchant, but there were often people who came to take care of it, and Hu Laosan and other jailers also gained a lot of benefits. Therefore, for this father and son, it is quite careful. After going back and forth, you will become acquainted.
Mrs. Xu was in a agitated mood, and led Xu Wenyu on crutches to go in first.
After Hu Laosan carried the food box into the prison door, and Xu Wanzhen followed in, he locked the cell door again and advised: "Remember! It's almost time, and I'm calling you. ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded and said, "This official, the little woman knows." ”
was called an official by a delicate little lady, Hu Laosan rubbed his hands, quite embarrassed. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say, so I said, "Okay! Okay!" Hu Laosan retreated, thinking that he would help the Xu family watch more in the future.
When Xu Changzong and Xu Wenmin heard that a family member was coming to visit, they had already stood up and saw Mrs. Xu coming in. Xu Changzong shouted, "Mother!" and fell at her feet. Xu Wenmin knelt behind him, crying silently, he kept blaming himself in his heart, blaming himself for being short-sighted and greedy for small gains, and finally causing a big disaster.
The cell was fairly clean, and a stale sour smell came to my nose. By the light of the day in front of the prison door, Xu Wanzhen gradually adapted to the darkness in the prison and put down the bedding and clothes in her hand.
Xu Wenyu finally saw his father, and in his young heart, he didn't understand why he came here to see his father. shouted, "Daddy, Brother!" and threw himself at the two of them.
Xu Changzong held this small soft body in his arms, tears in his eyes, he thought that he would never see his young son again in this life. asked, "Yu'er, where is your aunt?"
In prison, he was most worried not about himself, but about his orphans and widows in Suzhou. There is a lack of a man in charge of the family, I don't know if I will be bullied?
"A-Niang, A-Niang...... She left, Sister Ah said...... A-Niang watched us from the sky. In advance, Auntie, Xu Wenyu said incomprehensibly, and in the end, he couldn't help it, and cried in Daddy's arms.
"What?" Xu Wenmin walked a few steps on his knees, looked at Old Madam Xu and Xu Wanzhen and asked, with a glint of hope in his eyes, hoping that his grandmother and sister would deny the news.
The news of Mrs. Xu's death has been hidden from their father and son for a long time. Now that relatives are meeting, it is time to hide it anymore. Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, Xu Wanzhen bowed her head and wept, but no one denied it.
"Ahh I actually killed A-Niang, the warm figure who loved herself, stood behind her forever, picked up her clothes, and looked at herself with a smile, but she will never see it again!
And how unfilial he was, failing to serve in front of the bed, failing to listen to the last teachings, failing to send A-Niang to the end, and failing to wear linen and filial piety!
His heart hurts very much, and he hates this incompetent self who has affected A-Niang!
Xu Changzong hugged Xu Wenyu, who was choking with tears, and asked in a hissed voice, "How did she die?"
"Zhiqing, since she gave birth to Yu'er, her body has been unstable, you know this. In the autumn of the old year, she looked forward to the return of your father and son for the New Year. Unexpectedly, people did not expect to return, but received the news that you had been arrested and put in prison. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu recalled the old incident and choked up: "There are rumors everywhere in Suzhou City, and the family property has been seized by the government for a few days. Zhiqing was so angry that she fell ill all of a sudden, and never got up again. In the spring of the old year, Mrs. Su also deliberately went to Lingnan Road to look for medicinal materials for her treatment. Zhiqing didn't wait. ”
Xu Changzong choked silently. As the saying goes, "a man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place", this sudden news knocked him down completely. In prison, he imagined all the difficulties he would encounter at home, and also thought about whether Zhiqing's body could hold on.
But she never expected that she would go like this! The heart seemed to be pinched severely, and the pain spread to all the limbs, making him sit on the ground weakly.
Xu Wanzhen held Mrs. Xu, her impression of Daddy and Brother was still the image that stayed in her mind before.
In her memory, Xu Changzong was thin and not tall. He has been running a huge family business all year round and has worked hard. But when I went home to my wife and children, I always smiled, and I never saw him lose his temper.
The eldest brother Xu Wenmin is a typical warm man, his appearance is eighty percent similar to his father, and his father is not tall, and he is a handsome man with a gentle smile.
And this is actually the first time Xu Wanzhen, who has traveled to the Gaomang Dynasty, to see his father and brother.
The two spent more than half a year in this prison, and they were not allowed to be free in shackles and handcuffs. The prison is not comparable to an ordinary prison, and there is no time to go out and relax. The two have not seen the sun for many years and are mentally decadent. Of course, it was very different from the image in her memory. (To be continued.) )
