Four years later

Under the ginseng tree in the forest, an old man sat on a stone, surrounded by people listening to the story.

"Speaking of the past more than 20 years ago, it is also embarrassing, I heard that when Concubine Chen was young, she had an old affair with the national teacher. Later, I don't know why, I entered the palace as a concubine, the national teacher was unwilling, I heard that for this reason and the emperor had a quarrel, and was later driven out of Beijing by the first emperor, and stayed in that bitter cold place for three years. ”

There was a sigh at the bottom.

The old man continued: "It's a pity that less than a year later, this little prince suddenly had a serious illness for some reason, and then connected two princes, one was just over three years old, and there was a fire in the palace, and overnight, even the bones could not be found." One finally grew to 7 years old, made people, and drowned in the lake and lost his life. Later, God had mercy, this mother had a fourth child, but she was sent out of the palace by the emperor just after birth, and at that time, the court was changing, and the government was turbulent. ”

Someone sighed: "Alas, the royal family is ruthless, and they can't even do it to ordinary mothers and sons." ”

Someone replied, "Who says it's not?" ”

"By the way, the old gentleman might as well tell us about the old story of the village four years ago."

The old man waved his hand: "This, I can't say, I can't say it." ”

Unable to withstand the pleading of the people below, he rubbed his hands and struggled on his face: "Then just say two words, and don't say much." ”

"Nature, nature."

"The sudden change in the palace back then can be described as confusing, I heard that it is quite similar to the incident in the past 20 years, all for the sake of the battle for popularity. The deaths and injuries were innumerable, and the tragedy was extremely severe. After General Wei's sister died in that palace change, General Wei's heart changed greatly, and the king of Huai'an at that time also jumped down from the city wall, no one dared to restrain General Wei, and his blood flowed like a river. Later, none of the rebellious families had a good end, but overnight, they were beheaded all over the house. This King Huai'an also sat on the throne for less than two years, and he was ill and gave the throne to the five princes, that is, the current saint. ”

"In this way, the rumors back then were all true, it was really the imperial concubine who was bewitched, cough, she wanted to kill all those families, so it caused them to rebel. With such a one. A man in cloth said.

When a white-clothed young man wearing a mask next to the tree heard this, he stood up a little unconvinced and retorted: "If the red face and the water are true, then it will take two slaps to make a sound!" ”

A coarsely clothed young man in the crowd stiffened his neck and said, "What do you know as a child, if she is not a red face and a disaster, she is also a person who cannot survive in the world."

Everyone was interested: "What do you say?" ”

The young man said in a low voice: "She, not only did she kill her husband and children, but I heard that even the maids, pharmacists, and close friends around her were not spared. ”

"Ah, it seems that this rumor is true, this woman is really a disaster."

The white-clothed young man stood up and said angrily: "You said as if you had seen it, and you, listening to the wind is the rain, is it possible to convict anyone as long as you have a mouth." The white-clothed young man suddenly changed his face as he spoke, reached out to touch the ear that was being grabbed, bared his teeth and grinned: "Ah, let go, it hurts." ”

"Mengzhou, what are you doing sneaking out again, don't go back, I'm only staring at you all the way."

"I know, I know, I'll go back, Heshan, you let go first."

When everyone saw this, they laughed in their hearts. The young man in white felt faceless and ran away.

Outside the woods, several horse-drawn carriages were parked.

Heshan leaned over and said, "Brother Wang, I'm really sorry, my little brother has been stubborn since he was a child, and he has caused you trouble." ”

"Okay, I'm also busy, you guys keep up, don't delay my delivery."

"Yes, thank you, Brother Wang."

After speaking, Bi Heshan pulled the white-clothed young man and threatened in a low voice: "If you dare to run around again, see that I don't break your legs." ”

"Yes, be absolutely honest." The boy rolled his eyes and dragged in his voice.

The convoy continued to move forward with dust, and Heshan looked back at the forest, the wind swaying the branches.

On Gongyang Street, hugging and shouting, Heshan inquired about the news from outside, and as soon as he entered the inn, he saw Meng Zhouyang, who was sitting in the corner, sprinkling a table of food, and was lighting his chopsticks to look at his eyes.

The corner of the table was buttoned twice, Meng Zhou raised his head, and saw Heshan with an uncertain face standing on the edge of the table and squinting at him.

"You're finally back, try it, what I ordered is all signatures, it must be delicious."

Heshan rolled his eyes and sat down, angry: "I told you to wait for me here, who told you to toss these things blindly." ”

Meng Zhou said: "What do you say, you still want to drink only two bowls of water to satisfy your hunger at noon." ”

"Okay, since you want to eat, do you have the money?"

Meng Zhou smashed his mouth, looking very leisurely: "If you have it, it's done." ”

"You are embarrassed to say, which one of the roads is not my money, and the last broken silver has all paid for the journey, you dare to ask me."

Meng Zhou picked up the chopsticks and said with difficulty: "In this way, we are really exhausted." ”

"Hmph, the mountains and rivers are exhausted, don't you old man want to eat, eat, eat well and go on the road." Heshan gambled on the airway.

Seeing that this was wrong, Xiao Er on the side stepped forward and asked with an embarrassed smile: "Two guest officers, but the food is not palatable." ”

Meng Zhou was stunned, raised his eyes, put on a posture of an uncle, patted the table and was just about to speak, when he glanced at the Buddha of Heshan on the other side, and said coolly: "Shut up, you." ”

After Xiao Er left, Meng Zhou clasped his hands and said aggrievedly: "I haven't spoken yet, can you save me some face." ”

"As far as your little trick is not on the stage, before we finish it, maybe we will be beaten out. I said, this is not a small place compared to Yuezhou, can you save me some snacks. ”

"Hey, it's not right for you to do this, tell me that we should" Meng Zhouzheng's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he stood up and crossed Heshan: "Tsk, God really help me." ”

Before Heshan could catch the figure, he saw him sliding out and swimming back like a fish.

"What did you do?"

"Find money for food."

Heshan frowned, and said in a low voice: "If you don't change your dead nature, what did you steal again, and return it to others." ”

"No, I changed it a long time ago, I picked it up."

"That's not possible, you give me an honest stay, go to the door and wait for someone to find it."

Meng Zhou sneered: "Brother, this is not what it used to be, we are the ones who are in distress, I look at the materials used in this money bag, it must be a rich and noble family, hey, in this world, where do rich people care about these little money." ”

As soon as Meng Zhou finished speaking, an immature voice came from beside him: "Give it back to me." ”

The two turned their heads slowly, and saw a young man in Chinese clothes who was only four or five years old, with red lips and white teeth, a handsome face, and extremely beautiful, but there was a slight coolness in his eyes that did not match his age.

Seeing this, Heshan hurriedly gave the person opposite a look, and Meng Zhou coughed lightly: "This little boy, you will return it to you if you say it's back to you, so how do I know if this money bag is yours." ”

"Give it back to me, I'll pay for this meal."

"Okay, come on, take it."

When Heshan saw Mengzhou's dog-legged appearance, he choked in his heart and rolled his eyes.

The little boy in the fancy clothes really did what he said, put down a piece of silver, and turned sideways to Heshan and said, "Thank you for this son." Then he turned around and wanted to leave.

Meng Zhou saw that the little boy pretending to be an adult, he was a little happy, and called out loudly: "This little boy." Seeing that the child walked forward as if he hadn't heard, Mengzhou knocked on the table and said lazily, "June." ”

As soon as the words came out, the kid really stopped, turned around, and looked at Meng Zhou with a cold gaze.

"What did you say?"

"Ahem, that, your name is really June, I saw that there was a jade pendant engraved on your money bag before I tried to scream. But don't worry, I just glanced at it, and it didn't move. ”

Meng Zhou said and saw the child's reddish eyes and voice gradually weakened, he suddenly noticed the child's slightly wet collar, and felt guilty, presumably this thing is really important to him, thinking of this, he changed his expression and was just about to get up and apologize, a little girl in pink ran in at the door, followed by a man in Xuanyi, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, his bearing was alienated, and he was very similar to the little boy.

The little girl in pink said in a glutinous voice: "Brother, why are you here, I thought you lost it, I came to you without any candy in a hurry, hey, brother, what's wrong with you, is someone bullying you, you say it, Qing'er will definitely help you teach him a lesson." ”

The little boy glanced at the direction of Mengzhou, retracted his gaze, and slowly shook his head: "No, there was just something left behind, which made my father worried." ”

Kong Qing looked around, like a little parrot that kept its mouth: "What did you fall on?" Did you find it, why did you end up here? Daddy, have we just been here? ”

The little boy called June and the man in the dark clothes rubbed their brows helplessly, and their movements were surprisingly consistent.

After a few seconds, June put down his hand and took the little girl next to him, and said, "It's nothing, it doesn't matter, let's go, you don't still want to buy candy." ”

As soon as the words came out, she successfully diverted her attention, and the little girl immediately rejoiced, pulling a big and a small figure out.

It wasn't until the three figures disappeared at the door of the store that Meng Zhou sighed and turned his head slowly.

Heshan said: "I said it a long time ago, tell you not to take people's things indiscriminately." ”

"Okay, okay, at least this meal will be solved first, oh, don't you still have to look for someone after eating. Come on, come on, eat this. ”

"Take it away, I'll clip it myself."

Dream around the food said: "Heshan, Heshan, I always feel that the boy in Xuanyi just now seems to be familiar, you say, have we seen him." ”

"You are good-looking, you are not familiar, shut up and eat."

"Tsk, don't believe it, this thing is sometimes very accurate."

Heshan sneered: "Hmph, if there is, then he is quite unlucky, and if the debts of the previous life are not returned, he will wipe the account of this life for you." ”

“……”

Meng Zhou lowered his head and poked at the piece of meat, and remembered the look he had just inadvertently bumped into, and his heart trembled, if this is the case, then he can ask for more blessings in the future, and never meet that person again.
