51. Tanuki for Prince (3)
Wang Chao and Ma Han glanced at each other, and the two of them stepped forward at the same time, holding the old lady who seemed to have some problems in her eyes: "Old lady, do you want to sue?" ”
"You are ......" The old lady generously accepted the support of the dynasty and Mahan, as if it was normal for them to come to support her.
"Junior Mahan," Mahan said, "I am on an errand with the dynasty in Kaifeng Mansion." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Bao's subordinates of Kaifeng Mansion," the old lady nodded: "Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals." ”
"The old lady has won the prize."
Wang Dynasty and Ma Han helped the old lady to walk towards Tianqi Temple one by one, and Fan Zonghua, who was carrying a tall card behind him, looked at the sign in his hand and said with emotion: "What's going on!" ”
However, no one paid attention to Fan Zonghua's emotion, he looked left and right at the deserted bitter kiln, and finally stomped his feet, and shouted loudly, seeing that no one came out to shout grievances, he simply carried the sign directly, and chased after the dynasty, Ma Han and the old lady who kept complaining.
"Old lady," Fan Zonghua finally caught up with the old lady and asked puzzledly, "Do you really want to sue?" ”
"Of course." The old lady nodded: "I finally waited until Lord Bao came, how could I not tell me?" ”
"Then who are you going to sue, old lady?" Fan Zonghua asked curiously, "What do you want to sue that person again?" ”
"I will sue my son," said the old lady categorically, "my son is not filial." ”
"What?" Fan Zonghua's eyes widened, and he almost threw the goblot card on his shoulder to the ground: "Old lady, are you confused?" I haven't heard you have a son in so many years? Where are you going to find a son for you to sue? ”
To say that Fan Zonghua has known this old lady for nearly 20 years, but he has never heard of any relatives in her, let alone her son? Therefore, the old lady suddenly said that she was going to sue her son, and Fan Zonghua was really stunned.
The old lady nodded: "My son, ordinary people don't dare to care about him; In the whole world, only Bao Qingtian dares to take my case and judge his case. For the past few years, I have been waiting for Lord Bao to arrive, but he has never been here, so it has been delayed for so many years. This time, I finally waited for him, how could I not sue? ”
Fan Zonghua hurriedly called Wang Chao and Ma Han, with an apologetic expression on his face, pointed to the old lady, and then pointed to his head, indicating that the old lady was confused, hoping that the two would not mind.
Wang Chao ignored Fan Zonghua's gesture, but opened his mouth and said softly: "Old lady, you walk slowly and be careful of the steps." ”
Yu Xiaoyu was stunned and looked at Wang Chao and Ma Han helping an old lady back: "It turns out that there is really someone who has come to sue." ”
Fan Zonghua led the old lady into the west hall where Master Bao was, pulled the bamboo cane in her hand, and whispered: "Old lady, Lord Bao is in front of you, you have to kneel and reply." ”
Unexpectedly, the old lady ignored Fan Zonghua's instructions, but asked Master Bao to retreat first, and then he was willing to inform him of his grievances.
Master Bao saw that although the old lady was dressed simply and her eyes were blank, she had a natural momentum that was convincing, and she couldn't help but let the left and right retreat directly, leaving only himself and the old lady to talk in the west hall.
Seeing that the people in the West Hall had all retreated, Yu Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Lord Zhan, why did you all come out?" Don't you have to accompany the bag? ”
Zhan Zhao shook his head: "That old lady just now, it seems that there is something wrong, in front of us, she can't tell Master Bao. Therefore, Master Bao ordered us to come out first. ”
Yu Xiaoyu thought for a while: "Actually, if you want to know what is going on, it's easy to say." ”
Gongsun Ce interjected: "Mrs. Zhan refers to Fan Zonghua? ”
Yu Xiaoyu nodded: "Of course." Although he said a little more, didn't he say that the ants here all knew him, then he should be able to know the origin of the old lady! ”
"It's really possible for him to know," Wang nodded "Just now on the way here, I heard him talking to the old lady, as if he was very familiar. ”
"In that case," Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "Let's call Fan Zonghua over and say hello." ”
After a while, Zhang Long brought Fan Zonghua over;
Fan Zonghua looked at Yu Xiaoyu suspiciously, then at Zhan Zhao and the others, and asked with a smile: "I don't know how many adults called the villain over, do you have any advice?" ”
However, Yu Xiaoyu, Zhanzhao, Gongsun Ce and others looked at each other, but no one refused to speak first.
"Fan Zonghua," Finally, Gongsun Ce reluctantly compromised: "Do you know, what is the origin of the old lady who just came?" ”
"She," Fan Zonghua's face changed at the mention of the old lady: "Actually, the villain doesn't know where she came from, but ......"
"But what?" Mahan also spoke: "Just now I saw that you seem to be very familiar with her." ”
Fan Zonghua nodded: "Before the villain's father died, he asked the villain to take good care of her, so the villain can talk to her." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Zhanzhao's curiosity was also aroused: "Is your father familiar with that old lady?" Where did she come from? ”
"This villain doesn't know." Fan Zonghua shook his head: "However, the villain knows that this old lady is from the Qin family. ”
"The Qin family?"
"yes!" Fan Zonghua said with a yearning face: "More than twenty years ago, the Qin family was a famous family in our Caozhou Bridge, of course, the Qin family is in decline now. But before ......"
"What's wrong with the Qin family?" Gongsun Ce hurriedly brought back the topic of Fan Zonghua.
"Listen to the older generation," Fan Zonghua's topic was finally led back to the right path: "I heard that someone from the Qin family is working in Beijing." This is doing things in the capital, and naturally you will earn a lot, so the Qin family has a great ......."
Gongsun Ce took a deep breath: "Did that old lady originally live in the Qin family?" Could it be that she is Madame Qin? ”
"Probably not." Fan Zonghua shook his head: "Back then, the villain's father, Fan Sheng, was doing chores in the Qin Mansion to earn some subsistence money. He said, that day, well, it's been twenty years now, my dad ......."
"One day twenty years ago, this old lady came to the Qin family," Gongsun Ce dutifully did the work of bringing Fan Zonghua's topic back to the right path: "After that, what happened?" ”
"Twenty years ago," Fan Zonghua continued, "one day a blind nobleman suddenly came to the Qin family, and it was this old lady ......."
"If you want to talk about this old lady," Fan Zonghua showed a bit of yearning: "My father said at the time that he had never seen such a beautiful woman. However, there is a little bit of ......"
"But what?" Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, looked at Yu Xiaoyu, who listened with relish, and secretly admired Yu Xiaoyu's super endurance with Fan Zonghua: "Did something happen?" ”
"No, no," Fan Zonghua shook his head: "My father said that there is nothing wrong with that woman, she speaks kindly, and treats people well, but she likes to cry too much, as if she has something sad, she keeps crying every day......"
"Could it be that her eyes ......" Gongsun Ce seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"Her eyes?" Fan Zonghua blinked his eyes and nodded: "Oh, my father suspects that her eyes are crying blind......"
Hearing Fan Zonghua's words, Gongsun Ce showed an expression of "sure enough".
"How is your father's friendship with the old lady?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously, "Did you also know that old lady at that time?" ”
"My father has always been loyal and honest, and he doesn't talk much." Fan Zonghua scratched his head with a smile: "He is different from me. He didn't talk much at all, and I ...... Hee-hee......"
"And then?" This time, Yu Xiaoyu, who interrupted Fan Zonghua's digression: "And then what's wrong?" You said before, when did the Qin Mansion fail? ”
"My father is loyal and honest," Fan Zonghua looked at Yu Xiaoyu, who was next to Zhanzhao, and smiled ambiguously: "Therefore, the old lady is good to him and often helps him." Therefore, after getting to know the old lady, our family's life is much better. ”
"It seems," seeing that Fan Zonghua seemed to fall into memory, Gongsun Ce opened his mouth and said: "That old lady is a kind person......
"No," Fan Zonghua nodded approvingly: "It's a pity, even the lives of good people are not good." ”
"Could it be," Zhanzhao asked, "did something happen later?" ”
Fan Zonghua nodded: "Later, the one of the Qin family in the capital died for no reason; And his mother also died. As the saying goes, 'people are in love, and people are dead', the old lady was originally living in the Qin Mansion, and now she can no longer stay in the Qin Mansion......"
"In other words," Gongsun Ce said, "After the death of Qin's mother, the old lady was driven out of the Qin Mansion by the descendants of the Qin family?" ”
"But no," mentioning this matter, Fan Zonghua's face was full of resentment: "To say that this descendant of the Qin family is really not a thing." As soon as Mother Qin left, they kicked the old lady out, completely ignoring the old lady's eyes and not seeing ......"
"This Qin family is too unreasonable," Zhao Hu was full of anger when he heard it: "How can you bully an old man who can't see things like this?" ”
"But no," Fan Zonghua looked happy: "You see, they didn't suffer retribution later, the old lady only came out for a few days, and the descendants of the Qin family fought, and then another fire burned them all......"
Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao glanced at each other, and then asked, "What about the old lady after she left the Qin family?" Where to stay? ”
"Originally," Fan Zonghua replied, "my father wanted the old lady to live in the villain's house, but the old lady resolutely refused. It happened that there was a bitter kiln near the villain's house, and it was convenient to take care of each other, so my father cleaned up and let the old lady live in. ”
"That old lady has been in awe for the past twenty years," Gongsun Ce suddenly had a sense of awe for Fan Zonghua: "Has it been taken care of by your father and son?" ”
"Well," Fan Zonghua said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just to send her some food every day or something." Later, my father asked me to build a shack outside the bitter kiln to protect the old lady. ”
"Then now your father ......"
"It's long gone," Fan Zonghua said, "Before he died, he told me that I must take good care of the old lady." Anyway, my mother died early, so I should be a mother, and it doesn't take much to do anything. ”
Here, Yu Xiaoyu, Zhanzhao and others asked Fan Zonghua about the old lady out of curiosity, and at the same time, it was precisely because of this inquiry that their impression of Fan Zonghua rose from disgust to a kind of respect - after all, not everyone can take care of a stranger who has never known him for nearly twenty years; On the other hand, Master Bao even understood the narration of the old lady Guò and knew about a shocking incident. And this matter, if it is not handled well, it will be difficult to save the lives of everyone up and down the Kaifeng Mansion.
