Chapter 50: Jiang Xinghuo
In the afternoon, duckweed took a nap. called Xiaowa to stuff a lot of silver for the shopkeeper Zhou and bought several jars of wine.
Of course, this wine was given to the legendary Master Qianzi. Moreover, in addition to these wines, duckweed also bought many expensive gifts for Xiaowa.
The gift was naturally exchanged for good news, and as soon as duckweed put the gift down, Qian Fuzi shook his head and found a booklet from the shelf.
The booklet records the list of Qian Fuzi's protΓ©gΓ©s the year before last, including the place of origin, where he actually lives, and how many members of the family are recorded.
Mr. Qian, who had a mustache, was dripping his saliva with his hands while carefully searching through the roster. In just half an hour, a page was placed in front of the duckweed. Duckweed took it and thanked her, and couldn't help but smile when she looked at it.
The name of the first line of that page is not Jiang Xinghuo, who can it be.
Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian were not curious about what duckweed was doing when they asked about this student, but they saved duckweed's rhetoric.
It seems that Master Qian, after all, still loves money the most.
After the duckweed thanked him repeatedly, he and Xiaowa, the Xuanniao who turned into a spirit magpie, left Qian Fuzi's house.
Bianjing really wanted to inquire about the news, and looked at the address of Jiang Xinghuo that he had just written down, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of duckweed's mouth.
Xiaowa shook her hand and asked, "Sister, are we going to Jiang Xinghuo's house now?"
"If you don't go at this time, when will you stay? Hey, after solving Qing'er's affairs earlier, we can also play in Bianjing for a few days, and it is good to earn more spare money to prepare. Duckweed replied with a smile.
Jiang Xinghuo is not a native of Bianjing, and according to Qian Fuzi, he rented a courtyard in a private house not far from the Suzaku Gate.
While inquiring about passers-by, the two ate the special snacks of Bianjing on the street, and before evening, they finally found Jiang Xinghuo's house.
By this time the sun had gone down, but it was still hot. Plus the two of them have just walked a not short distance. At this time, he was already tired and sweating profusely.
Especially duckweed, at this moment, I can't wait to hide in the Nacai River.
"This lady, may I ask, who are you looking for?" With a "squeak", a man in white with a square scarf walked out of the courtyard just now.
The man in white was very thin, and with his appearance, there was a strong smell of medicine in the air.
Duckweed smiled very politely: "Childe, it's really bothering." I'm here to find a scholar named Jiang Xinghuo, I don't know if my son knows?"
The man in white suppressed his voice and coughed several times before he smiled embarrassedly at the duckweed: "I am Jiang Xinghuo, is the lady looking for me?"
"Yes. Duckweed looked at the man in white seriously, and there was something inscrutable in his eyes.
"Ahem, although I don't know what the lady is looking for me, I still ask the two of you to come in first. The sun is scorching outside, and my family lives in the middle of nowhere. Looking at the situation of the two of them, it should have been a long time since they found here. The man in white seemed to be very weak, and he had to cough for a long time to say two words.
"Then thank you Jiang Gongzi. Duckweed smiled and looked at the man named Jiang Xinghuo in front of him, his brows slightly locked.
The mansion rented by Jiang Xinghuo is really a bit small, with only two small rooms. The courtyard was covered with all kinds of weeds, and a layer of moss grew on the steps, and even the corners of the courtyard were full of debris.
Duckweed smiled and asked, "Does Jiang Gongzi live here alone? How can a scholar be so shabby?
Jiang Xinghuo set out a few stools and invited duckweed and Xiaowa to sit down. A bleak smile tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm a poor scholar, and I'm frail and sickly, it's good to be able to afford medicine, how can I expect to invite someone?"
Duckweed smiled: "Listen to my family Langjun said, Jiang Gongzi is brilliant. I now see that Lang Jun is also blessed with longevity, and I think that I will be able to go to high school in the future and get rid of this kind of hard life. β
Xiaowa's heart didn't turn around, so she could only try not to show an overly surprised expression on her face.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinghuo didn't notice the little baby, but looked up at this very beautiful lady seriously, and asked in disbelief: "Lady, no, who is Madame's Langjun?"
"The husband is the king's name, Artemisia, and the word is An. β
"Brother Hean?" Jiang Xinghuo seemed to be very excited, and coughed for a long time before continuing, "It turns out that you are Brother Hean's wife." No wonder, only a character like Brother An is worthy of the face of Mrs. No wonder, no wonder Brother He An has been talking to me about the goodness of Gusu. β
With that, he got up and made a gesture, and was rude again and again. Jiang Xinghuo was busy washing two cups and brought tea for duckweed and Xiaowa.
Duckweed took a sip and said with a smile: "My husband often mentions you in his letters, and praises you." When I saw it today, it was true. β
Jiang Xinghuo seemed very embarrassed, his hands were nervously rubbing the corners of his clothes, he coughed so much that his face turned red, and then he sighed and said: "Thanks to Brother He's care in the past six months, he has taken me as a confidant, Xiaosheng is really ashamed." It's just that now I'm sick, and I'm afraid it's difficult to participate in this year's scientific expedition. β
"Jiang Gongzi, I don't know if I can take the liberty of asking, how long have you been sick. "Duckweed is holding tea, and his eyes are complicated.
Jiang Xinghuo sighed and said, "Madame, I don't know, this disease is brought from my mother's womb, and I have been in poor health since I was a child. And because his family is in Shuzhong, he has taken a lot of medicine over the years, and he is about to recover. I don't know if it's because of the terroir of Bianjing, as soon as I came, I became more and more sick. Fortunately, Brother An and Brother An often come to help me, which can be regarded as my creation. Hey, if it doesn't get better at the end of this year, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to Shu to recuperate. β
"I see. Duckweed smiled, a little cooler in his eyes.
But Jiang Xinghuo couldn't see this, he looked at the duckweed, and his heart moved. Thinking that this was a friend's wife, he had to lower his head and ask: "I used to hear Brother He'an say that your family is in Gusu, why did Mrs. come to Bianjing alone? Moreover, what is the so-called matter when Mrs. comes to find Xiaosheng?"
Duckweed pretended to sigh very heavily, and after a while, he asked, "Gongzi Jiang, I won't tell you, I can't find my husband anymore." I don't know who he knows in Bianjing, but I heard him mention you in the letter, and I think you are probably the person he trusts the most. When he said the word trust, duckweed deliberately accentuated his voice, and his voice choked.
When Jiang Xinghuo heard this, he was very anxious and said, "Brother He'an is gone, but I received the medicine from him a few days ago, how could it be gone?"
With that, he coughed violently again.
"A few days ago? He didn't die. Xiaowa said excitedly, but unconsciously said that she missed her mouth.
Duckweed hurriedly said: "Gongzi Jiang doesn't know, my husband hasn't sent a letter home for several months, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law are really worried, so I asked me to come to Bianjing to find him." However, I have been here for several days, and I have been to his residence, but I have never seen anyone. β
With that, duckweed couldn't help but shed a few tears.
