105. One hundred and five
People's hearts are distant and close, Yusheng has his own set of logic, but the three views are not particularly upright, which leads him to do something wrong, he will admit his mistakes, and he will find a way to make up for it, even if he will feel guilty for a while, but in the end it will become a rational goal plan. It can't be said that he is not sincere, nor can it be said that he does not really recognize the mistakes he has made, he can promise not to make them again and try his best to make amends, and if there are more, they will be gone.
This kind of mentality of not indulging in old things and looking forward positively comes from Ji Bingyan, the people in the rivers and lakes lick the blood from the knife, there is no return in the desert, no one has the heart to feel sad about spring and autumn, and enjoy the current qiē is all for a better life. During the most important period of shaping the three views, Yusheng learned Ji Bingyan's attitude towards life.
However, Hua Manlou is an exception.
Yusheng has no objection to the fact that he was struck by lightning, but in his heart, this matter should not involve Hua Manlou. The reason why Hua Manlou was implicated was that the master had already sued Yusheng before, just because he had the abacus that Yusheng didn't want to go back to before, and he was regarded by Heaven as a doppelganger made by Yusheng, if it weren't for his great fortune and the master's secret move, Yusheng didn't want to know the result at all.
Because the evil consequences of unintentional transgression and the evil consequences directly implicated by himself have completely different weights in Yusheng's heart, Yusheng feels that if he doesn't put Hua Manlou's life back on track, he may find it difficult to feel at ease. Yusheng also once asked Master Hua Manlou's whereabouts, but he was vague, and only said that he would meet when the time came. Yusheng has been waiting for this opportunity, and he feels that Hua Manlou may have fallen into another world.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity came directly to him so suddenly.
Yusheng didn't know much about the layout of this house, and after running out on impulse, he realized that he forgot to ask where Hua Manlou lived. Fortunately, the people in Baifu have all started their day's work one after another, and it is not difficult to find someone to ask for directions.
As soon as Yusheng asked, before he could hear an answer, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang behind him chased after him.
"Mr. Yu, you're walking too fast." Zhan Zhao said, "It just so happens that I'm going to find Brother Hua too, why don't we go together." ”
Yusheng settled down, "Labor leads the way." ”
Zhan Zhao walked in the front, Yusheng was half a step behind him, and Bai Yutang walked last, his eyes kept turning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hua Manlou has already risen, is pruning the flower branches in the courtyard, heard someone approaching and did not rush to say hello, but unhurriedly cut off the last few dead leaves, put the scissors aside and put them away, wiped his hands with the wet cloth towel that had been placed on the side a long time ago, and then turned around to say hello, "Brother Zhan, Brother Bai, my Baihua wine is really not much." ”
Although Baihua wine is good, it is not good to the point of peerless wine. The rat and cat often come to beg for wine, but they just feel like-minded and take the opportunity to get close. The three of them tacitly knew about this, and they would also joke about it, yes, Hua Manlou would use this to make fun of the two of them.
Bai Yutang took the first step to speak: "I don't believe that Qitong, you don't have inventory here, but I have made a great contribution today, which is worth your hundred jars and hundreds of flowers." ”
"Oh? What is the credit? "Hua Manlou is curious.
"Today, I brought a man." Bai Yutang's voice was very confident, "A person you really want to meet." ”
Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment when Bai Yutang said the first half of the sentence, he was very confident in his ear power, but he didn't notice that there was a person other than the mouse and cat, I am afraid that person's kung fu was at least light and had reached the perfection realm. Hearing Bai Yutang say that it was someone he wanted to see very much, Hua Manlou just thought about it, and his face showed excitement: "But Brother Yu? ”
Yusheng never admitted that he actually had a feeling similar to homesickness, the victim who was implicated by himself stood in front of him, he was rarely a little short of breath, but Hua Manlou's reaction was very good to dispel the unaware apprehension, so that he couldn't help but smile.
"Seven Boys." Yusheng stepped forward and hugged Hua Manlou.
“…… Big Brother Jade? Hua Manlou was suspicious of his ears, "Are you really here?" ”
That's right, although Hua Manlou asked someone to find Yusheng, he didn't have great hopes in his heart, the courtyard belonging to Yusheng in the house in the capital that suffered from the power of thunder was scorched black, even if no one said it directly, everyone didn't think that Yusheng could be safe and sound under such a heavenly power. He would look for Yusheng, just because he encountered another adventure and actually came to the Northern Song Dynasty, so he had a small expectation in his heart, but he didn't expect Yusheng to really appear in front of him.
"It's like a fake." Yusheng rarely forgot his form and put Hua Manlou's hand on his face.
Hua Manlou only hesitated for a moment, and then his fingers carefully touched. The last time he did this to Yusheng, he was only eight years old, and that time, he used this method to remember the faces of the people around him. With the movement of his fingertips, Hua Manlou's mind sketched a portrait, and the lines on it were exactly what he was familiar with.
"Brother Jade." Hua Manlou put down his hand, and there was only pure joy left in his voice.
Yusheng also smiled, although the current Hua Manlou is no longer the little Qitong who could be held in his arms, but in his heart, he is still the same thoughtful, well-behaved and understanding.
The atmosphere here was harmonious, and the rat and cat duo standing on the side suddenly felt that they were in the way. If there was only Zhanzhao, he would leave silently and give the brothers some personal space after a long absence. But Bai Yutang is here, and he is destined to be unwilling to be lonely.
"Qitong, I sent Mr. Yu to you, should you take out the Baihua Wine?" Bai Yutang completely ignored Zhanzhao's eyes, "You haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you talk while drinking?" ”
"Drinking early in the morning?" Yusheng looked at Bai Yutang with disapproval.
"Brother Bai, we still have something to do." Zhan Zhao coughed lightly, among these people, I am afraid that he is the only one with the heaviest sense of responsibility, and he still remembers the task at hand.
Because Yusheng is new, Hua Manlou naturally believes that the business in Zhanzhao's mouth is related to him, and he also becomes serious, "It's still important to get down to business, we can talk about it later." ”
Hearing Hua Manlou's words, Yusheng remembered that he was probably the one he thought might be the one who might harm his good deeds. Thinking of this, he was a little puzzled, "Why are you with Li Niangniang?" ”
"Li Niangniang?" Hua Manlou was a little puzzled, "There is only one Aunt Li by my side." ”
Yusheng wiped his face, "This matter still needs to start from the beginning, let's go find someone first, and then talk about it together." ”
Yusheng felt that he was very lucky, he found Hua Manlou, as long as he was by his side and took care of him from now on; Li Niangniang, who has been looking for a long time and has not found her whereabouts, also appeared, although the motivation to find someone after Zhao Zhen set a stand-in plan is no longer so urgent, but if you can do your best, who would like substitutes?
Maybe Zhao Zhen will like it, because the psychological pressure faced by the deity's mother and the stand-in he found is not of the same level. Yusheng speculated a little darkly.
Anyway, this morning was a good day for him.
And Hua Manlou was stunned by the next divine development.
"Auntie is the biological mother of today's son?" As a good student with a good memory, Hua Manlou still has an impression of Song History. According to the name of the year, he deduced that the biological mother of the Son of Heaven had died at this time, and he did not recognize Renzong before his death, and even after his death, Renzong wasted a lot of effort to find out the mystery of his life experience. But Hua Manlou never expected that a blind mother-in-law who was bullied and saved by him was actually the mother of today's son!
Aunt Li, or should be called Li Niangniang, looked at Hua Manlou in a voice, "That's right." It's not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, it's just that the queen mother in the palace is powerful, and I can't say that it has affected you plainly. ”
"Didn't Niangniang think about finding a reliable person to set things right?" This is what Yusheng doesn't understand, in his opinion, with Hua Manlou's character, he doesn't even know Li Niangniang's identity, so naturally he won't stop her from finding someone to redress her grievances, so Li Niangniang has been living in Baifu without movement all these years, for what?
How could Li Niangniang not think that she escaped from the palace wall in a hurry, although she couldn't see it, she dreamed of the cold palace on fire countless times in her dreams, and the chamberlain in the cold palace who died for her in exchange for her life. At that time, she really felt that the sky was falling, and she only felt that fate was making people.
When she was pregnant, the emperor decreed that whoever gave birth to the emperor would be crowned the queen, but she hated Concubine Liu's hot hands, and made a drama of changing the tanuki for the prince, so that she fell hard one step away from the queen's throne, in the cold palace, she really thought that she had given birth to a demon, until King Xian and Di Niangniang secretly found someone to give him the news, so that she knew that her child was not a demon, and now he was raised by King Xian, but his third son. She thought that her child could live a safe life, but the son of Concubine Liu died as the crown prince, and her son was taken into the palace to be crowned the prince. While she was overjoyed, she waited silently, but she couldn't help but meet him a few times, and the result was in exchange for Liu's murderous extermination.
When she fled, the grief and resentment in Li Niangniang's heart made her miserable, and only the idea of waiting for the emperor to ascend the throne and settle the account for the emperor supported her to live. But she is weak by nature, and she is not all good people in this world, and even Bao Zheng can be kidnapped when she is on the road, let alone a woman. is relying on laundry to earn a meager income, but because of blindness and disgusted several times, if it is not for the Hua Manlou, can only continue to swallow the anger.
Hua Manlou is a very magical person, unless there are ill intentions, few people can have a bad feeling for him. And he has another ability, even if he takes the initiative to help others, it will not make people feel that they are being chared. In this way, Hua Manlou hired Li Niangniang under the pretext that there was no one around to take care of her, and later, Li Niangniang, who noticed Hua Manlou's kind help, no longer received remuneration, and the two became more and more affectionate, commensurate with their aunts and nephews.
"I thought about it before." Li Niangniang's expression was very calm.
"Don't want to now?" Yusheng's voice raised faintly.
Li Niangniang shook her head and stopped talking.
How could she not want to, but, as a mother, even if her child has been taken away since birth and has only seen a few times in the cold palace, she is still a mother. It's not that she didn't want to recognize each other, but although Empress Dowager Liu is cruel to herself, she is also a motherly heart to the official family. Whenever she heard the people's rumors about the deep love between mother and son in the official family, she was sad and happy at the same time. She is doing well now, do she really want to tear apart the mother-son warmth in the palace for her own selfish thoughts? When the time comes, how should the officials react? The Queen Mother, who treated him very well, began to calculate since he was born, and even ordered to kill his biological mother?
Li Niangniang couldn't bear to let the official family fall into such a situation.
She is not a decisive person in the first place, the environment can affect people, and the behavior of the people around her has a greater impact on her. Under the subtle influence of Hua Manlou, Li Niangniang gradually lost her obsession, and was willing to be a mother who looked at each other from afar and knew that I would be good if I knew hello.
He couldn't have imagined that the illusion he created under the persecution of the system was too successful, and it spread outside the palace, which actually made the people believe it was true, and finally almost pitted him.
