Chapter 30: The Old Man
Rona was so ashamed that his face was red, and he said to his mother-in-law: "Old man, it's mine, it's not mine, I don't want to be entangled and stolen." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoThankfully, the old man took me in for a few days. Your grandson's illness, can you let me see, if you are lucky enough to be cured, it will all be used as food money. ”
Mother-in-law Yu shook her head, sad: "The old woman is grateful for the kindness of the guests, that is, the guests can prescribe medicine, and the old woman has no money to buy medicine, so it is better to raise it like this, our ancestors and grandchildren finally have something to rely on." You don't need to say more, after eating this meal, please hit the road. ”
On the table was Ronyan's luggage, with only a green cloth bag wrapped in a few books and a set of silver needles. Rona was helpless, ate a bowl of rice, and gave a salute to the old woman: "If you are lucky enough to find relatives here, you will definitely come back to pay the rent of the old man's house." ”
Granny Yu waved silently, and when Rona Yan walked out of the hall, she blew out the oil lamp and closed the door panel.
The wind and snow blew on his face, raising the cold air all over his body, and the only cloak he had in Luo Nayan had been bet on the pawnshop, but fortunately, there was still the bowl of rice sent by Yu's mother-in-law in his belly, so that he would not be hungry and cold.
The long street was empty and silent, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes was blowing in his face, Ronyan was at a loss with his burden, remembering that he found a city god temple on East Street when he was looking for people the day before yesterday, so he wanted to take shelter from the wind and snow first.
However, he is road blind, and has no sense of direction, there are few pedestrians on the road, and he can't ask for directions.
Seeing the time of the curfew, Ronyan turned around, and turned back to the Wannian Bridge, so he had to think about taking refuge under the eaves of the shopkeeper for a night.
The door was closed, and the dim light was gone. Snowflakes fell overhead, and Ronyan, who was only in a jacket, shrank under the eaves and hugged his arms to keep warm.
His palm stretched out and hesitantly put it down, never having the face to tap the door of the inn.
The bell of the curfew rang, Shi Xiao Luochen, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, took office, and led people to patrol the capital.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the New Year is approaching, how can there be people who freeze to death, Xiao Luochen ordered his subordinates to go up to investigate, and woke up Luo Nayan, who had just fallen asleep.
The lantern torch shone on Luo Nuoyan's face, square and weekly, slightly wooden, like a person with a portrait. Xiao Luochen carried the lantern forward, looked at it carefully, and saw that it was seven points accurate, and ordered: "Come on, bring this person back first." ”
In the guard house of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Xiao Luochen first asked Luo Nayan's name. After the names matched, while sending a letter to Xia Yuzhi overnight, he asked Ronyan why he was still on the side of the road after the curfew.
Ronat put a cup of hot tea into his stomach, and finally stopped trembling on the warm brazier. Seeing that the official was a talent, and his attitude was so amiable, he told the truth from beginning to end.
His ancestral home is Jiangzhong, and he has already made a name for himself.
The family has been practicing medicine for generations, with parents and a younger sister. The Son of Heaven is sage, the donation is not prosperous, and the well-off family is still self-sufficient. The family lives in the middle of the river, and they rely on their father to make a living from medical treatment, and they are also comfortable.
The accident happened three years ago during the Shangyuan Festival, when my sister went out to watch the lanterns and never returned. The family searched for it with great pain, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Since then, his parents have become ill and have passed away.
Before her death, her mother earnestly entrusted, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she hoped that he could find his sister and reunite.
Luo Nuoyan searched in the river to no avail, and because of this, he delayed the triennial scientific expedition.
Last year, I happened to hear someone say that he once listened to a play in the capital, and the woman who played the matchmaker in the West Chamber looked quite like his sister. Rona obeyed his mother's orders and did not give up even if there was a glimmer of hope.
He prostrated before the graves of his father and mother, sold all his possessions, and set out on his way. I never thought that I was looking for three months in the capital, and I listened to more than 100 plays, but I didn't find my sister.
When he was full of worries, he was stolen and entangled, and he was kind enough to take in the store for a few days, and now he is at a loss.
After Xiao Luochen listened, Xia Yuzhi, who had received the letter, also came to the door, and had to take a closer look.
Xia Yuzhi compared the portraits, and asked the name and origin, thinking that nine times out of ten it was the person Murong Wei was looking for, thanked Xiao Luochen, and directly brought the person back, and took him to his outer study first.
Although Ronyan only has the fame of Xiucai, he is a person full of talent, and he met Su Duhan in his previous life and became the most powerful staff member around him.
Murong Wei skipped this section and only said that this person has a splendid belly, which is very comparable. Xia Yuzhi was half suspicious, the other party had the fame of Xiucai, so he was commensurate with his son, and talked with him in the study about the past and the present, intending to test and teach.
Rona is not good at words on weekdays, but he can talk eloquently when it comes to his strengths. He quoted scriptures and analyzed the current situation to the first point, and the more Xia Yuzhi listened, the more he admired, and the meaning of contempt in his heart was greatly constricted. , he intended to keep him by his side.
"My outer courtyard lacks a correspondence paperwork, I don't know if the prince is interested? ”
Luo Nayan was overjoyed, got up and saluted, commensurate with the owner, thanked Xia Yuzhi for his kindness, and there was a little more twist between his eyebrows, "Neyan thanked the owner for his kindness, but there is still one thing to ask for." ”
"I'll help you find your sister, this boy just don't worry. ”
"No, it's... Is it whether the proprietor can advance a tael of silver to Ne Yan, who owes his mother-in-law seven days of rent on North Street, and is really uneasy. ”
Xia Yuzhi had already heard what happened to him, and seeing that he only asked for one or two pieces of silver when he entered the Xia Mansion, he was obviously a little pedantic, and immediately sent a message to Leng Yu: "Tomorrow, I will give Luo Gongzi ten taels of silver, and I will pay off the rent first." ”
Rona thanked the host, and was led down by the little servant to change his clothes, arrange a place to live, and rejoice that he had been blessed by misfortune. After entering the Xia Mansion, he has to live with nobles, and he has food and clothing, and he is expected to reunite with his sister and complete the entrustment of his parents.
Xia Yuzhi arranged Ronyan, and it has been nearly three watches. After he finished washing, he lay on the bed, thinking about handing over the letter to Murong Wei early tomorrow morning.
Murong Wei in the palace didn't know that Xia Yuzhi had found someone, and she was worried about the illness of the emperor's grandmother, and she was worried about greeting her mother at night, and told Mama Luo to accompany her.
In the past few days, Mama Luo occasionally glanced at the purple glazed roses placed on the Duobao Pavilion, and silently lowered her eyelids, and her worried expression fell in Murong Wei's eyes from time to time.
The love of the previous life disappeared like the cold smoke of autumn grass, and the once vicissitudes of the sea and the delicate and delicate clouds in the depths of Wushan yesterday all turned into a faint mist and returned to dust, where would she not be able to give up a pot of flowers.
Pointing to the lilac streamer flowers, Murong Wei calmly ordered: "The glass flowers sent by my cousin are delicate and precious, and they are most suitable for placing on the bookcase of the queen mother's curly grass and pengya, and Mama remember to bring it." ”
Mama Luo nodded with a smile and instructed the little palace maid to dress up carefully and follow behind.
