【Sixteen times】The old past is suspicious

When Qian Shan brought the vegetarian food to the cloth plate, Dou Taijun kept staring, smelling the aroma wafting in the hall, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach cooed.

When she saw Jiang Chengjia taking a seat, she kept snickering, so she was a little curious and asked, "What is Little Mengluo laughing at?" ”

Jiang Chengjia secretly glanced at Ning Nanwu, who was sitting with him, and then pursed his lips and said shallowly: "Grandmother, I found out today... It turns out that Jiro doesn't like to eat sour things... Blame me for sending him to buy some sour food the other day... Today he had a falling out with me. ”

She said this deliberately. The young man beside him held the bowl and chopsticks for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Dou Taijun glanced at Ning Nan again, and saw that he was really depressed, so he smiled and blamed: "Zhaoyuan... As a man, you stand up to the sky... How can you always quarrel with your wife? ”

Ning Nan was stunned, looked up at Dou Taijun, and said helplessly: "Great grandmother, grandson didn't have a twist with A Luo..."

Jiang Chengjia lowered his head on the side, covered his mouth and giggled, and felt funny when he saw that he had suffered another loss from Dou Taijun.

The family talked and laughed and had lunch.

Dou Yueshan ate this vegetarian meal, swallowed dates, and praised it: "Sister-in-law... These vegetarian meals are so delicious... I've never eaten such delicious food in Chang'an..."

Jiang Chengjia ate little, and now he had already gargled his mouth with tea, and sat on the side staring at him with a loving smile: "If you like to eat... I'll let Qianshan do some in the future..."

Dou Yueshan nodded violently and said happily: "That's the best... It's just that I have to work on my sister-in-law and Miss Qianshan..."

He devoured it like he didn't eat at all, Dou Taijun stood aside and pointed at disgust: "Look at you... What does it look like? At the banquet, let your sister-in-law and brother see jokes? ”

Dou Yueshan said inarticulately: "Great grandmother... My sister-in-law is pregnant, and she goes to great lengths to cook for us... If I don't eat something fragrant, how can I be worthy of her... It's a pity that I can't eat the dishes made by my sister-in-law.... It's a pity. Miss Qianshan has been taught the cooking secrets of her sister-in-law... can make such a delicacy, if the sister-in-law cooks it herself, it will definitely be a unique taste in the world..."

He praised it as much as he could.

Ning Nan was sipping tea, but as he tasted it, his face drooped, and he said coldly to Dou Yueshan: "Such a delicious delicacy... Can't even stop you? ”

Dou Yueshan buried her head in eating the mountains of vegetarian food in the bowl, and suddenly felt a layer of coolness on her head, and her heart became a little weak. At this time, I regretted a little, why did I deliberately tease this vinegar king?

He took a piece of clear melon and cold fruit in his mouth and laughed dryly, and stopped gnawing.

Mrs. Cao listened to what Ning Nan said to Dou Yueshan, she was a little angry, and was about to scold, but was stopped by Dou Taijun's immobile expression.

Jiang Chengjia saw the small movements of the two elders in his eyes, and he also faintly guessed in his heart.

Dou Taijun... seems to love Ning Nan very much. 's almost doting care even made her feel that Dou Taijun was the real grandmother of Junhou.

In the Huaiwang Mansion, almost no one has cared about Ning Nan's worries.

Although Mrs. Cao loves this son from the bottom of her heart, she sometimes deliberately alienates Ning Nan because of her madness.

But Dou Taijun has no reason, because of his friendship with Mrs. Cao, he loves the house and Wu, and loves Ning Nan very much.

Jiang Chengjia looked left and right, his eyes lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ning Nan saw it inadvertently, so he asked with some curiosity, "What are you looking at?" ”

She put away the thoughts in her heart for the time being, and quietly leaned into his ear and asked, "Erlang... I'm a little curious... How did my mother meet Dou Taijun? ”

Ning Nan was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”

Jiang Chengjia said coquettishly: "I want to know..."

The young man nodded slightly and said, "Go back and talk to you." ”

She nodded obediently.

After lunch. Ning Nan accompanied her back to the courtyard for a lunch break.

After entering the house, he personally brought the charcoal basin to the house, poured a hand stove for her, stuffed it into her arms, and was about to coax her to sleep, but saw that this little lady was more sticky than usual, hugged his neck and refused to let go, and said unrelentingly: "You said.... When I came back, I told me how my mother and Dou Taijun met..."

Ning Nan raised her eyebrows worriedly, and held her firmly with both hands, for fear that she would accidentally roll off the couch.

"You're today... Why are you chasing me and asking this? Puzzled, he asked softly against her forehead. 536 Literature

Jiang Chengjia pouted, a little unhappy: "If you don't want to say... Then forget it..."

He couldn't resist her, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I said!" ”

"Mother and Dou Taijun are considered to be the teachings of previous years. I also heard about the two of them knowing each other from Uncle Ji. It is said that in the eighth year of the early Yuan Dynasty, when my mother traveled out of Longxi City... The first place I went to was Zuo Fengyi. When passing through this place, he inadvertently saved a Dou protégé, and was invited into the house by Dou Taijun as a life-saving benefactor... That's when I met her. Unexpectedly, although the age difference between the two was a lot, they hit it off at first sight and became friends who forgot their years. ”

Jiang Chengjia listened, but felt that there was nothing special, so his brows furrowed a little tighter.

Ning Nan was worried about her little face that was worried all the time, and the question in his heart became stronger, he grabbed Jiang Chengjia's slender hand, looked at her and said, "Ah Luo... You've recently... Is there something you're hiding from me? How is it always absent-minded? ”

His eyes were like torches, and he stared at her seriously.

Jiang Chengjia frowned, thinking that Mrs. Cao's past was confusing, and if she inquired in the mouths of these people around her, she was afraid that she would not be able to get useful information. So I put it aside for now. It's just that the truth of Lu Fuzi's wife, Gu's tragic death, tugged at her whole heart. This matter implicates Candle Shadow and Lu Fuzi, and she also wants to investigate clearly. But in the ninth year of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, at that time, she was terminally ill due to the cold poison in her body, and she was locked up in the water building by Qianshan to recuperate, and she didn't know anything about the outside. Later, I still relied on the file of Qianji to learn that Mrs. Gu died tragically on the outskirts of Wuling.

She looked at Ning Nan worriedly, thinking in her heart that he had been investigating Mrs. Gu's death all these years, and perhaps knew better than she what happened back then. So he hesitated and said, "I have something... I want to ask you..."

Ning Nan stared at her worriedly, her eyebrows tightened, and she said slowly and in a low voice, "You ask." ”

She paused, her expression equally solemn: "Erlang has been doing it all these years... Have you been looking for someone? ”

He was stunned for a moment, three furrows appeared between his eyebrows, and he was puzzled: "Over the years... Indeed, I have been looking for you. ”

Jiang Chengjia shook his head and said, "Except for me... Have you ever looked for anyone else? ”

Ning Nan looked surprised, stared at her and was silent for a moment and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

She always hesitated, and finally seemed to have made up her mind, and said: "I heard that you have been privately looking for Lu Fuzi's only parent-Lu Shiqing all these years, yes or no?" ”

I saw that the young man's expression changed slightly, and he didn't know whether he was surprised or suspicious in his eyes...

In order to prevent him from thinking about it again, Jiang Chengjia held his hand and said solemnly: "The Lu Shiqing you are looking for... I know where..."

Sure enough, he trembled suddenly, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he looked straight at him, with a hesitant expression, and asked carefully, "You... Is that true? ”

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said: "There is such a person by my side, who has been wearing a unique jade pendant since he was born, named Cui Yu, which is the heirloom of the Lu family. ”

Ning Nan was worried when he heard the word Cui Yu, his dark eyes were full of light, and he asked a little eagerly: "This person, he... Where is it now? How are you doing? ”

Jiang Chengjia hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, he's doing well... He's safe. ”

The young man seemed to grasp some hope, suppressed the excitement and intense joy in his heart, held her hand in the palm of his hand, and asked, "You... You met him? What has he been doing all these years? ”

Jiang Chengjia patiently replied: "In the year of Yonghe, my brother and I met him through Baqiu. Over the years, he has traveled south and north, which can be regarded as fulfilling the dream of a ranger in Lu Fuzi's heart back then. It's a very free and easy life. ”

Candle Shadow didn't know his life experience, let alone that he was burdened with such a heavy blood feud, and under the protection of the Water Pavilion over the years, he had indeed lived a very free and easy life.

Ning Nan hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "That's good... He's just going to be at ease. ”

Jiang Chengjia looked at him, paused and asked, "Does Erlang want to meet him?" ”

Unexpectedly, the young man immediately shook his head and said, "No need... It's the time of day... It is not appropriate for me to see him. For his safety... Arlo, can you promise me... Don't tell anyone where he is, and don't mention his true identity to him? ”

She fell silent and stared at him without saying a word.

I only heard the young man muttering to himself: "What Lu Xun and I are carrying... Don't let him bear it any longer. ”

The sour murmur made Jiang Chengjia's heart ache slightly.

She hugged him firmly and comforted him softly, "Okay." You can rest assured. I will protect his true identity and not let anyone know, including himself. ”

Ning Nan Wei leaned his head on her shoulder, a boulder that had been sinking in his heart for many years, as if it had fallen at this time, which made him a lot easier.

He promised Lu Fuzi that he would find Xiao Lu Gongzi back. For so many years, he has worked hard to find Lu Shiqing's traces... didn't have any clues, but he never thought that fate would go around and around like this, and Ah Luo would find Xiao Lu Gongzi.

Ning Nanwei believed Jiang Chengjia's words without the slightest doubt. After learning that Xiao Lu Gongzi was doing well, the guilt and guilt deposited in his heart seemed to be lighter.

Jiang Chengjia saw that he fell into a spontaneous round of sadness and excitement, and the doubts in his heart were blocked in his throat at the moment, and he couldn't say it for the time being.
