There are many guild halls set up by large merchants in the capital, and these guild halls have many functions, such as providing accommodation in various places, and can also carry letters home for guests who are away, and of course, if someone in a certain place is in trouble, they can go to the guild hall to ask for help.

Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, there are many halls in many places in the south of the Yangtze River in the capital, this Jiangsu and Zhejiang hall is built on the prosperous Chunjing Road in the capital, it is funded and built by the big salt merchant Geng Guyou, Geng Guyou has a high prestige among the salt merchants, and also has a chivalrous heart, he built this hall not to make more money, but to provide a place for the guests in the capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

For example, in the afternoon of this day, when the sun was shining hot, a young man wearing a green cloth robe with exhaustion on his face and sweat on his head and face entered the gate of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hall with a cloth bag in his hand.

Unlike the heat outside, the inside of the hall felt only a chill, and the young man wiped his sweat and fanned his sleeve twice, and then felt alive again.

"Yu Juzi, where are you going to write letters on your behalf?"

The young man on duty in the hall passed with a smile on his face, and he handed over the big tea bowl in his hand: "It's really hot today, hurry up and take a sip of tea to rest." ”

That Yu Juzi took the tea and poured a few sips, and there was a burst of sweat, this son he didn't feel hot, only felt comfortable all over the body, he returned the tea bowl to the guy: "Thank you, don't go out to help others write letters today, but it happened that at noon, a guest wrote several letters in a row, no, it was written at this time, although it was hotter." However, the money earned today is enough for a few days of accommodation and food. ”

The guy smiled: "The shopkeeper said a long time ago that you can be exempted from accommodation fees, but you don't listen, you have to support yourself, no, it's hard." ”

Yu Juzi waved his hand: "I have hands and feet." And it hasn't reached the point where you can't open the pot, where you can use it to waive the fee, you don't know how many people live in this hall every day, you have to be free, and you can't pay for death. ”

The guy smiled and invited Yu Juzi to sit down. On the one hand, he said that Yu Juzi is also a good person, his heart should be really good, and he is not a greedy person who is greedy for cheapness, and what is more valuable is that he does not have the pedantic atmosphere of today's scholars. No wonder the shopkeeper took a fancy to it, and when he thought of this, the man remembered something again: "Didn't the lady who introduced you here help you pay a lot of silver, which is enough for you to eat and drink for many days, and if you want me to say, you will not enjoy the blessed days." ”

Yu Juzi waved his hand: "Don't say that the big lady, people are kind, and it's already very good for a weak woman to help me introduce the hall." How can I ask for any more money, and I will keep it until I see them again. I have to pay it back. ”

The guy shook his head helplessly: "This Yu Juzi is really upright." ”

As the two of them were talking, they saw a chubby and smiling man in his thirties wearing a brown thin silk robe outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked the young man, "Is Yu Ziran and Yu Juzi back?" ”

The young man smiled and pointed at Yu Juzi: "What a coincidence that this guest officer came today, no, Yu Juzi entered the door with his front foot, and you came with his back foot." ”

The guest looked up and down. After a while, he trembled all over, and he couldn't believe it. Pointing at Yu Juzi and asking, "Little monkey, are you ...... Little monkeys. Yes and no? ”

When Yu Juzi heard this, he suddenly became excited, stood up and asked loudly: "Who are you?" How do you know my nickname? ”

The young man looked at it, yes, this should be a family acquaintance, nothing to do with him, he still hid lazy, so he hid in front of the small table on the side and crawled down and snored.

The guest here is Yu Xi, the last time he got Li Luan'er's letter and rushed over, but he didn't know that his nephew happened to be absent, plus he had something to do, so he only asked some information and left in a hurry.

"I am, little monkey, you really don't recognize me, too, you were still young when there was a big flood at home, how could you remember me......" Yu Xi Yu Ziran's eyebrows have already seen it, this is indeed his nephew, there is no doubt that this looks like a brother in his memory: "I didn't expect you to grow so big in a blink of an eye, little monkey, I, I'm your uncle!" ”

Yu Ziran looked at Yu Xi carefully, and indeed pulled out some things from his memory, he also remembered that his little uncle often took him to play many years ago, and he also lay on the ground to make a big horse for him to ride......

"Uncle, uncle......" Yu Ziran took a step forward and bowed: "Meet my uncle." ”

Yu Xi hurriedly helped him up, and looked at Yu Ziran with tears in his eyes: "Okay, good, I didn't expect that I Yu Xi would still be able to find relatives in my life. ”

After Yu Ziran and Yu Xi met, they thought that it was indeed a little inconvenient for people to come and go here, so they invited Yu Xi to his room to talk.

Yu Xi naturally didn't allow it, on the way to Yu Ziran's room, Yu Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at this nephew who was finally found, Yu Ziran looked very much like Yu Xi's brother, tall, white skin, and small eyes, but because of his square face, the small eyes were very bright.

Yu Xi looked at it, happy from the bottom of his heart, but he felt that there was nothing bad about his nephew.

As soon as he entered the backyard, in a secluded place in the backyard, Yu Ziran opened a hut and invited Yu Xi to sit in.

Yu Xi looked at the hut and found that the lighting in this house was particularly bad, the room was dim and dark, and the ventilation was not good.

Thinking that his nephew lived in this kind of place all day long, Yu Xi felt distressed for a while: "How can you give birth to this child...... Alas, you suffered. ”

"My nephew doesn't feel bitter." Yu Ziran invited Yu Xi to sit down, poured tea and served: "Uncle, this tea is not good, uncle will have it." ”

Being able to see that his nephew has already gotten the luck, where does Yu Xi care about whether the tea is good or not, what he cares about is that the tea was poured by his nephew himself, so he took it and drank it. Suddenly felt a bitterness, and a burst of astringency, and then looked at the yellow and heavy tea, and the bottom of the bowl was full of tea foam, Yu Xi was even more distressed.

Yu Ziran did not sit. Instead, he stood aside with his hands down: "My nephew is now eating and drinking, and the shopkeeper is also kind-hearted, and I allowed my nephew to read in the study of the guild hall every day, and my nephew thinks it's really good." ”

"Alas!" Yu Xi sighed and put down the tea bowl: "I have been looking for you all these years, how do you know." When I received the letter, you ...... The old man of our family, as well as your father, mother and sister-in-law are gone, and I have been looking for you since you have no whereabouts. Coincidentally, a few days ago, Mrs. Li told me where you are, so I looked for it, but I didn't meet it. ”

"Now that our uncle and nephew meet, my nephew is already very satisfied." Yu Ziran smiled: "Speaking of which, I was able to live in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guild Hall, and it was all thanks to Mrs. Li, who also paid me a lot of silver, but I didn't want to go." So he saved up the money, and when he met her again, he gave it back to her. ”

Yu Xiyi waved his hand: "It's okay, I and Mrs. Li are old people, and we have also received her favor." Anyway, our grandfather and son have received a lot of favor from others, and they don't feel itchy when there are more lice, and some money is nothing to prevent. ”

"Then I have to be even more grateful." Yu Ziran arched his hand: "I'm nothing, my uncle has received the favor of others, and I have to think of a way to pay it back." ”

Yu Xi couldn't help but laugh: "You, you're stupid." I'm afraid that we won't be able to pay it off in the next lifetime. ”

Speaking of which, Yu Xi naturally wanted to ask Yu Ziran about his life over the years. And how his old father died, and what happened to his brother and sister-in-law. How to send it, how Yu Ziran escaped, these must be carefully asked.

Speaking of the murder of a family, Yu Ziran was grief-stricken and indignant: "Uncle should also know that the prefect of this ruined county and the prefect of the county, the prefect of the county who broke the family, the county relied on the support of someone in the capital, and the courage was very tight, and his brother-in-law robbed the people's daughter and forced my sister to death, this is not counted, my father came to the door to ask for help, and they beat him to death......"

Yu Ziran said that the small eyes in the emotional part were full of tears, Yu Xi also clenched his fists when he listened, and he restrained himself so that he didn't smash things to vent, Yu Ziran cried one by one, and he couldn't stand anymore when he was crying, and Yu Xi pulled him over to help him to stabilize his body.

After Ziran finished speaking, Yu Xi was also full of tears: "Good boy, it's really difficult for you, don't worry, your uncle couldn't find you in the past and made you suffer, and in the future, with your uncle here, you will definitely be prosperous and rich." ”

"I don't want glory and wealth, I just want to be able to call me grandpa, my father, my mother, and my sister Jiuquan to be blind." Yu Ziran slammed his fist on the table: "I came to Beijing to find out which of the enemy's backers is, and secondly, to save more money and know more people to participate in the examination. ”

"Okay, okay." Yu Xi smiled with relief: "I really deserve to be the descendant of my Yu family, good boy, I am your uncle, and it was my father, my brother and sister-in-law, and my niece who were killed. ”

Yu Ziran didn't shirk it, he had no parents, Yu Xi was his closest person, they were all descendants of the Yu family, it was natural for Yu Xi to take revenge, and besides, if someone helped, he also had a support, and he also had some bottom in his heart.

After talking about himself, Yu Ziran asked Yu Xi again how he had come over all these years.

When he asked, Yu Xi's face was embarrassed, Yu Ziran noticed it, and asked in surprise: "What, isn't it that my uncle is having a hard time, my uncle can rest assured, even if my nephew recognizes his relatives, he should honor his uncle, my nephew still has some silver here, if my uncle needs it urgently, take it." ”

Yu Xi was moved for a while, and said in his heart, after all, the family is close to each other, and no one is closer than this nephew.

Shaking his head, Yu Xi sighed: "Where do I lack that money, but I don't know how to tell you." ”

While talking, Yu Xi explained how he buried his mother, how he castrated and entered the palace, how he was appreciated and served the prince, and how he gained power after the prince ascended the throne.

He patted Yu Ziran's head: "Xian'er, you suffered, and my uncle didn't know about it, but now that you know the enemy, my uncle will rely on this old face not to ask for help, but also to avenge our family." ”

He got up and looked at Yu Ziran's residence: "This place is unlivable, but it just so happens that I have a house in Beijing, you can move there first, and study hard from then on, and wait until you get the Jinshi, which can be regarded as the lintel of our house." ”

If Yu Xi was not a eunuch, he had a wife and children, or Yu Ziran would shirk it, but he knew that this uncle was also a hard-working person, and he couldn't stay anymore, and he knew that Yu Xi must have made up his mind to leave all his money and connections for him, so he didn't shirk it and happily agreed.
