It was getting dark and fast, Qiu Yue came out early, and took Brother Shen back to the inner courtyard, and the house immediately burst into laughter, seeing that he had eaten outside, Jiangxian pouted, "Today, the slave maid made fried crisp rolls, and I want to wait for Gongzi to come back to appreciate his face, Gongzi has eaten outside, no, Gongzi has a good taste." ”

Brother Shen smiled, "Even you know how to cook?" Why don't I believe it? I don't dare to eat the dishes made by Jiangxian. ”

Jiang Xianjiao stomped her feet angrily, Brother Shen laughed with a few maids again, and then said that he was sleepy, lay down in the inner room, listened to a few maids cleaning up outside, and after a while, he also blew out the candles, and it was late at night, and Biwu study slowly fell asleep.

Brother Shen tossed and turned this night, sighed in a low voice, got up and looked at the moon and whistled, seeing that it was getting bigger day by day, although the Hou Mansion was good, but this was not his home, thinking that he was the child that Aunt Zhou had exchanged for, Brother Shen couldn't help but respond in his heart, Brother Shen was homesick in his heart, he had a short relationship with his parents in this life, and he also had some vague memories, but he didn't know how to look for it, but at the moment, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

The heart became more and more active, quietly put his hand into the bedside of the secret compartment to touch, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, the next day after school, teased the parrot on the shelf, after lunch to see that the time was almost over, he went back to the house and took out some of the calligraphy and paintings he had drawn before, all of which he personally collected, and no one was allowed to touch his things.

According to the heartbeat, the paintings were carefully wrapped in a cloth, and two boxes of newly made snacks were wrapped, and the little girl hugged a jar of good wine, and the son was going to see Mr. Huang again, the old man cured Brother Shen's rash, and became the gentleman often invited by the Hou Mansion, and Brother Shen was willing to go to the old gentleman every few days to kill time. One old and one young have become New Year's friends.

Accompanied Mr. Huang to drink tea and chat, seeing that it was getting dark, Brother Shen was still hesitating in his heart. The old gentleman smiled, "Brother has something on his mind today?" I see you've been in a trance for most of the day. What's in your mind? ”

After all, the work of cultivating qi was not at home, and something in his heart was still visible, so Brother Shen also made up his mind, "Old man, I have something very important I want to ask you for help, but it is inconvenient to say it here." ”

The old gentleman smiled when he saw Brother Shen like this, "Okay, let's go to the old man's dispensing room." No one dared to go in there. ”

The pharmacy was full of medicinal herbs, a smell of medicine, the old gentleman sat down, and said with a smile while fiddling with the herbs, "You brother Shen, you have made it mysterious, let's say, what can the old man help with?" ”

I saw Brother Shen kneeling down slowly, which startled the old gentleman.

"Brother Shen, but what trouble have you caused?"

Brother Shen shook his head. "No, old man, I want to tell you a story about my background."

Mr. Huang's face changed. "Brother Shen, we are gentlemen's friends, and the old man who shouldn't listen to the old man doesn't want to hear it."

Brother Shen hurriedly helped his knee, "Old man, Brother Shen's heart has been pressed for several years, and I can't tell people, you often say that I think too much, let me let go of my mind, this matter makes me feel distressed." Where I can still let go of my heart, you will treat me as a cure. Isn't it still necessary to wait and hear about the cure? ”

"It's a bunch of nonsense at a young age, and it has been pressed in your heart for a few years. How old are you just this year? What can be stored for a few years? ”

Brother Shen said, "It's been more than six years, and that's when I was still in Jiangnan." ”

Mr. Huang has a good memory, "In Jiangnan? If the old man remembers well, you gave you a pulse when you were more than four years old, and you talked nonsense again, where do you remember what happened at that time. ”

"Speaking of which, I also have a fate with the old gentleman, my rash is dangerous, because I just practiced martial arts during the day and sweated, and I cried again when I came back, and I happened to be sick, and that time thanks to the old gentleman who saved my life, I cried for a reason, because of that Liu Mama, my father later asked the old gentleman, and the old gentleman also knew about those things, and checked it for me, don't you think it's strange? Why did my biological mother's grandmother hurt me so much? I had to cry to find a way to get rid of her? ”

The old gentleman knew a little about the past, and when he heard Brother Shen say this, he guessed that it was a private matter in the family, so he stood up and wanted to leave, and Brother Shen said loudly, "Because I am not a child of his family!" ”

The old gentleman paused, and looked at Brother Shen in surprise, Brother Shen simply didn't do anything, "Aunt Zhou's child is not well, so she bought me to pretend to be her son, and Mama Liu hurt me like that, Aunt Zhou has thought about harming me several times, so as to blame Mrs., Brother Shen begged the old man to help me." ”

The old gentleman was shocked for a long time, "The old man doesn't want to listen to other people's housework, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Saying that he was going out again, Brother Shen took the old gentleman's hand and shook it, with tears in his eyes, "Old man, just listen to me finish the story, if you can't help me, just think that I told you a story to relieve your boredom." ”

The old gentleman sighed, "The old man has been cheated by your child, then you can say it, the old man should only listen to the story to relieve his boredom, and forget it after listening to it." ”

"When I was very young, my home was also a splendid place, and there were many mothers-in-law and maids around me, I can't remember clearly, I only vaguely remember that my name is Yun'er, what I can remember is that I somehow fell into the hands of human teeth, poured several times, and could have a long time, and when the leaves fell, I was bought by Aunt Zhou's sister, took me into her house in a food box, and went out with a child in a food box."

She asked me to call her my mother, I knew that she was not my mother, and I didn't dare to be disobedient, and then we took a car and boat to the Hou Mansion, I was also a little older, and I could understand more things, I knew that this matter could not be said, and I occupied the position of the eldest son of the Hou Mansion in vain, and I was not at ease, but no matter how big the world was, there was no place for me, so I had to wait until I grew up.

The last time I was at the old gentleman's place, I saw the mother of the dead son crying so sadly, I thought of my mother, and she was probably just as sad and sad. As he spoke, he silently shed tears.

Hearing him say so much, the old gentleman also believed that most of what he said was true, so he sighed, "Then how do you want the old man to help you?" ”

Brother Shen'er's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Old man, I just picked up a friend, his father is the Cao Yun envoy of Jiangnan, I want to ask him to help me ask me whose child I am, but I have a shallow relationship with him, and I don't want to talk to him in my heart, so I dared to ask the old man, you just said that it was a distant relative of your family, and I wanted to ask him to help me find it slowly, if you feel embarrassed, I didn't say it." ”

"Did you know that there are boys who are sold every day? How can someone find it for you without a little credential? ”

Brother Shen hurriedly took out the calligraphy and paintings hidden in the blanket, which he slowly recalled after he learned to draw.

"Old gentleman, please look, I was too young to remember so much, but I still remember what the kidnapper looked like, this is a portrait I drew myself, maybe not very similar, but there is also a general appearance, according to this portrait, I may be able to find a little clue."

A pair of eyes were full of tears, looking at the old gentleman expectantly, the old gentleman's two long eyebrows trembled a few times, Brother Shen drew the appearance of human teeth, how old was he at that time? It's an amazing memory.

Pick up the painting and take a closer look, the old gentleman looked at it carefully one by one, there are people with teeth, there are also children who are sold together, there are also shops encountered on the road, as well as the city gate tower, waterway wharf, and the outline is outlined in a few strokes.

There was still shock in his eyes, and the old gentleman asked in detail, and Brother Shen pointed to the painting and said, "Please also ask the old gentleman to complete, I still have two hundred taels of silver here, and I begged the old gentleman to take this silver to Donglang, and ask him to visit slowly, Brother Shen is grateful." ”

The old gentleman looked at Brother Shen, "Have you thought about something?" It's easier for you to track down where people are sold, but on the other hand, if you ask people how they got into their hands, do you think these people will tell the truth? You don't want Donglang to know, the old man can also be said to be the child of my distant relative, so I can only trace where the child was sold, and in turn, the old man doesn't know whose family this child is? ”

Brother Shen couldn't help but open his mouth and couldn't speak.

He moved the idea of looking for relatives, his heart was full in the past two days, he felt that this was an opportunity, he didn't want to miss it, he was also concerned about the chaos, and he only wanted to understand the joint after listening to what the old gentleman said, and couldn't help but be full of shame, "It's the kid who is confused, the old gentleman is not strange." ”

As he spoke, he was about to put away these paintings, and the old man pressed Brother Shen'er's hand again, "Don't worry, the old man is going to Jiangnan at the end of the year, so the old man will help you ask." ”

He pointed to the fat woman on the painting and said, "I recognize her, she seems to be called Liu Sanniang, that year the old man practiced medicine in Jiangnan, she had colic, and she was about to die, or the old man saved her life, with this relationship, I think she can also tell the truth to the old man, but I don't know where she is now, and you have to help your friend find it." ”

Brother Shen was overjoyed, "There is also a third sister-in-law, she is the last person to sell me, old man, you want to go to Jiangnan?" You helped me, Brother Shen was grateful, and he didn't dare to say anything to repay you, I will treat you as a grandson and give you a pension. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the two hundred taels of silver, "You can use this silver first, Brother Shen has thanked you for your great kindness." ”

The old gentleman was angry, "The old man is just following the trend, is he greedy for your silver!" Don't put it away for me yet. ”

I was afraid that Brother Shen would not feel at ease, so I opened the bookcase and took out a letterhead, "Look, my nephew is getting married, and I happened to go back to my hometown in Jiangnan, just to help you ask by the way, don't be disappointed if there is no result." ”

What else can Brother Shen say? I was secretly grateful to the old man's ancient road and warmth.

The old gentleman carefully asked about the characteristics of these people's teeth, all of which were written down on paper, and it was dark when he said it, Brother Shen said goodbye and went back, and the old gentleman took Brother Shen'er's hand and sent him to the gate, "Don't worry, the old man will go back in two months, you have waited for so many years, and it is not bad for these two months." ”

Seeing Brother Shen ride away on horse, the old gentleman lowered his eyelids slightly, covered up the stormy waves under his eyes, took the paintings painted by Brother Shen, and asked the housekeeper to prepare the car and go out.

"Go to Lord Lu's house in Aquarius Hutong, quickly." (To be continued) R580
