Chapter 145 [Yang Huai]
Early the next morning, after Huang Dalang sent Hu Ren, Yang Zongbao and Sun Xin out, he went back to Wan Chunnu's room, and instructed Leng Zhi and Lu Calyx to cut two good fox furs into squares of different sizes, sew out three bags, one large, one medium and one small, and then sew the flat pot welded by the Sun family's ironware workshop with thin iron sheets inside, pour hot water into the pot and plug it, which is what he said about the warm baby.
Don't underestimate the production method of this warm baby seems simple, but similar things have not yet appeared at present, this is because the technology of iron sheet welding and the cork thread sealing technology of the spout is still a black technology today.
It's a pity that Wan Chunnu doesn't know how to appreciate, and he only held the eldest warm baby in his arms for a short while, and he couldn't throw it away, Huang Dalang was puzzled, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he picked it up and studied it, but it was this fox fur that ran out of a fox smell because of the heat.
I had no choice but to re-sew it with cotton cloth, stuff it into kapok and put on a face made of brocade, which was suitable to hold in my arms.
Just when Huang Dalang was busy studying the cross-era inventions that swept the entire Great Song Dynasty and even the whole world not long after, Sun Xin and the three of them also quickly left Huangzhou and took a river shuttle to Ezhou at the port of Shuishi.
The location of Ezhou can be said to be opposite Huangzhou, because of the long history, the scale of the city is several times larger than Huangzhou.
When entering the city, the doorman looked at the half of the silver mask that Yang Zongbao wore on his face, and wanted to embarrass him, but after seeing Hu Ren's Ying Fengju waist card, he was also silent.
After entering the city from the north gate, the three of them went to the gate, Hu Ren and Yang Zongbao each went to inquire about the news, and Sun Xin first went to the money shop to exchange for flying money, and then went to the grass market to buy horses. The three of them walked in a hurry, but they didn't notice that in a foot shop inside the north gate, a father and son were eating and drinking.
The father was in his early thirties, and his face was short and bearded from his sideburns to his throat, but it looked very short, and he should have been in his last two months. A pair of leopard eyes are slightly larger than copper coins, but the eyes are brownish, and at a glance you can see that he is a half-blood. On the contrary, his son was born beautifully, but he was only five or six years old, but he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although his head was shaved with a handful of hair, but because he had not taken care of it for a long time, he had produced a few inches of short hair, but it could be seen that his heavenly court was full, and there were three zigzag arranged spins on the back of his head.
The father and son were wearing a thick linen dress, and the clothes were not shabby, and now they were sitting in the foot shop eating a bowl of noodle soup, and when Sun Xin and the three broke up, they saw the child sandwich a lot of the noodle soup in his bowl into his father's bowl, and said in a mouthful of Yao: "Daddy, you are going to kill the thief and eat more." ”
The father didn't say much, ate the noodles in a few bites, drank the soup dry, then wiped his mouth, took out dozens of big coins and handed them to his son to collect, and said in dialect: "Zaixing, Daddy will go back when he goes, and he will wait here, and if he is hungry, he will make money to buy food." If you don't see Daddy coming back tomorrow morning, you can take a boat across the river to Bianliang, Tokyo, find the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, and report the names of Dad and Ancestor, can you write it down? ”
"Hmmm! Zaixing has been recorded! My father's name is Yang Huai, my ancestor's name is Yang Qian, and my name is Yang Zaixing. The child nodded solemnly, probably because he was too young to understand the meaning of his father's words.
Yang Huai nodded, reached out and stroked his son's head, then got up, stretched his waist and let out a breath of heat, then turned around and walked towards the city.
Yang Huai walked calmly, until he turned the corner of the street and never looked back at his son again, and the child named Yang Zaixing also looked at his father's back in a daze, until he disappeared, then he drank the noodle soup in his bowl, and sat at the door of the foot shop, looking at the end of the street.
Yang Zaixing's father, Yang Huai, walked slowly in the city, and after a while, he came to a huge mansion, looked up at the plaque hanging on the door, and listened to the faint chanting sound in the house, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
This Cui Mansion is now the mansion of the governor of Ezhou, naturally someone will come to answer the door soon, and the person who came is a middle-aged housekeeper, who looked at this Yang Huai and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Yang Huai said in an official dialect with a Yaodi accent: "The villain is a Zhuang guest in Yanji Town, and he has something important to tell that Young Eunuch Liu." ”
When the butler heard this, his face turned angry, and he waved his hand and said, "Go, go!" Little dealer, what can you do, don't beg for a beating! ”
Yang Huai hurriedly crossed his hands and said, "Please also bring a message to Young Eunuch Liu, I know the whereabouts of Yang Thirteen!" ”
The housekeeper's face was even more angry, and he waved his hand and pushed: "I know that it is a bird who came to cheat money, and only brought out three people who were discounted legs yesterday, aren't you afraid that your legs will be discounted?" ”
Yang Huai hurriedly said: "Uncle, I really know Yang Shisan's whereabouts, but I don't dare to deceive him!" ”
The housekeeper's face was even more angry, and he grabbed Yang Huai's collar and scolded: "Hurry up!" If you don't leave, I'll be able to discount your bird's leg right now? ”
Yang Huai hurriedly wailed, knowing Yang Shisan's whereabouts all over the time, and tried his best to run into the house, the housekeeper couldn't stop pulling him, so he also shouted and scolded, and then ran to several nursing homes to hold Yang Huai, and was about to throw him out of the door, an old man who was about half a hundred years old and dressed in a purple official uniform walked out quickly, shouting: "Stop!" ”
Everyone took a look, hurriedly put down Yang Huai, bowed down to this person and called the master, the old man walked over quickly, glanced at Yang Huai, and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of Yang Thirteen?" Let's go with this house! ”
As he spoke, he turned around and went to the mansion, Yang Huai hurriedly pretended to be trembling and happy, and followed the old man into the inner mansion. After a while, the two of them entered an inner mansion, in which nearly 100 monks were doing things, the monks were sitting or walking or chanting, and there were also wooden fish knocking copper palladium shaking prayer flags, which looked so lively.
Soon the old man introduced Yang Huai into the middle hall, and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe sitting on the main seat of the middle hall, and there were also four sturdy men in civilian clothes standing by the door, each wearing a short-handled knife under his waist.
The old man went behind the middle-aged man, and after saying a few words to him, the middle-aged man in the brocade robe looked at Yang Huai, and then stretched out his hand to gesture, and a man in the hall went out, and then the monks in the courtyard quieted down.
At this time, another man came up and patted Yang Huai a few times as if he was patting the dust off his body, and then he also retreated, and turned his palm over on his side and made a gesture, indicating that Yang Huai did not have a murder weapon on his body.
The middle-aged man coughed lightly, and then asked in a shrill voice: "Our family heard that you said that Yang Thirteen is not dead, and you still know his whereabouts?" ”
Yang Huai pretended to be trembling, bent down and replied, "Dare to ask...... But in front of Young Eunuch Liu? ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It's our family, and to tell the truth, if you dare to coax our family, there will be no good fruit with you."
