Chapter 71: First Meeting Under the Ginkgo Tree
Hongwen Chan and the four of them were waiting outside Shen's house, and some passers-by looked at them from time to time, and then talked in a low voice, and the fragmentary sound reached the ears of a few people from time to time.
"Why are there still people visiting Shen Mansion? Didn't his family all move away?" Passerby A said.
"No, there is still a ...... left, it is that ghost young master, strange and pitiful, he was abandoned here by his father and mother at a young age, more than ten years! I don't know if I'm still alive, right?" Passerby B shook his head and said.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, live! Some time ago, I met Xiaosheng of Lanfu Buy, and the two of us chatted casually, and he said that his young lady and the young master of Shen Mansion played together every day. Passerby Ding couldn't help but interject.
"Hehe, what can he know, who has seen this young master of the Shen Mansion? It's been more than ten years, who has seen him? You? Or are you? No, no one has seen it, what the hell is the situation, the ghost knows, maybe it's ......, don't say it, don't say it, so as not to offend people. ”
Passerby B pretended to be mysterious, looking like there was something inside.
"You mean ......", the passerby seemed to be led astray.
"When Master Shen left, Young Master Shen was only 2 years old, leaving a few subordinates to take care of him, and I heard that the field shop was also handed over to the next person's mother-in-law to take care of, what do you say the two-year-old doll can know? It's not at the mercy of others, there are many slaves who bully the master, do you say it, otherwise, it is impossible not to see the young master of the Shen family go out for ten years! What do you say?" Passerby B touched his goatee and said.
"Well, this is a bit strange, Master Shen has been gone for more than ten years, he has ignored this son and completely abandoned him, the young master of the Shen family is really pitiful!"
Passers-by have a mouth, he has a tongue, and in the end they all turned into sighs, lamenting that the Shen family master is cruel and the Shen family son is pitiful.
Listening to the words of passers-by, Chan Yi pulled Hongwen and said softly: "Hongwen, do you think Junzhu will really be ......." ”
"No, it's really dead, I can still feel it? If these people have nothing to guess, do you believe it?"
Hongwen looked at Zen Yi with disdain, and when he heard it, he knew that he was not clear about the situation and arranged blindly, and Zen Yi actually took it seriously, hey, this brain!!
Li Bo looked around the front and back of the house, and finally learned from Pingping that Mama Luo was cooking soup for the young master in the kitchen again, and immediately ran to the kitchen.
"Mama Luo..., Mama Luo...", Li Bo shouted into the kitchen.
"Lieber? What's the matter, I'm in a hurry?" Mama Luo walked over from the stove.
"There are a few people outside the door looking for the young master, saying that they are old acquaintances." Li Bo said, pointing in the direction of the gate.
"Liar, how can the young master have any old knowledge, except for Bao'er, he has no friends, send it away." When Mama Luo heard this, she instinctively replied, and then muttered: "Could it be that the family is thin and came to look for trouble?"
"It shouldn't be, there are 3 monks from Xile Temple, who say that they are disciples of Master Guangming." Lieber explained the situation.
"Xile Temple? Disciple of the Master of Light?......, Really? Well...... then go over and take a look. ”
Mama Luo frowned, thoughtfully, she put down the work in her hand, beckoned the maid Xiaoyu next to her to come over to see the fire, and went to the door with Li Bo to have a look.
The four of them waited anxiously at the door, and finally saw the door of the Shen Mansion open again, and a woman about 50 years old came out, with a kind face and a neat feeling with her gestures.
"How many of you are looking for my young master? Xile Temple's?" Mama Luo looked at a few people with sharp eyes, it was about her young master, she couldn't help but be very careful.
"Hello, Mama, the three of them are the disciples of Master Guangming of Xile Temple, the eldest disciple Master Wisdom, the fourth disciple Master Zhixing, and the fifth disciple Master Chanyi."
Hongwen pointed to the three of them and reported their names to Mama Luo, he could see that whether he could see the young master or not completely depends on the attitude of this mama, judging from Mama's expression, he should not believe them very much.
Hongwen took a step forward, bowed to Mama Luo, and said, "I am Hongwen, a friend of the fifth disciple, and we came here specifically to find your young master." ”
Hongwen's face is soft, Mama Luo has a good impression at a glance, this person is young, polite and courteous, and he is a very educated person at first glance.
"My young master doesn't know you, what are you looking for him?" Even if she had a good impression of Hongwen, she still didn't let Mama Luo completely let down her guard, after all, it was about the young master's safety, and she didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Mama, we are here to find out what happened to your young master, we know that your young master had something to do during the Midyear Festival last year, we came over to take a look at the situation and see if there is any good solution."
Hongwen can only use the method of temptation, he knows that something must happen in Junzhu Zhongyuanjie, but he doesn't know what it is, so he can only play the side ball.
Mama Luo's heart "chuckled", the young master of his family had an accident, and outsiders didn't know about it, and now the entire Shen family and the Lan family only knew about it, and there was no rumor, how did they know that the young master had an accident?
And it was determined that it was the night of the Midyear Festival, this specific time was only known to her and the young master, and no one else knew at all, Lan Bao's brain was not good, she didn't know what the Midyear Festival was that day, let alone tell others.
"Mama, we have a relationship with your young master, we have been looking for him for a long time, and we didn't find him until today, he has been sick since he was a child, and he will have a seizure on the night of the full moon, am I right?" Hongwen looked at Mama Luo quietly, only Mama admitted this, and the person in it was Junzhu, which was a definite fact.
"You ......, how do you know?" As soon as Mama Luo heard Hongwen say this, her face changed, and she looked up left and right to prevent being heard by others, this is the biggest secret of her young master, how did they know.
"Mama rest assured, except for us, there is no one else nearby, your young master's illness is a legacy of the previous life, it is related to us, this poison antidote is extraordinary, we need to work together to see if there is a way, we are here for this, please believe us, we will not be unfavorable to him." Hongwen has a gentle and elegant temperament, which invisibly increases the credibility of his words.
Mama Luo thought for a while and said, "Come in and talk." Then she brought the four of them into the house, and Mama Luo thought that maybe they really had a way to cure the young master's illness, and even if there was a glimmer of hope, they couldn't give up.
Shen Mansion is a three-entry courtyard, as soon as you enter the gate is a shadow wall, carved with the pattern of magpie Dengmei, lifelike, originally very gorgeous, but because no one has maintained it for too long, it looks dull, like Shen Junzhu who is entangled in black mist, is hidden in brilliance.
Several people followed Mama Luo into the first courtyard, the courtyard was silent, only one servant was cleaning, and then passed through the hanging flower door to the second courtyard.
"A few masters will wait here first, take a sip of tea, I'll go find the young master, he's in the backyard." Mama Luo took them to the main hall, and then beckoned the maid to bring tea and went to the backyard.
In the backyard, Shen Junzhu wore a mask, sat at the stone table and read a book, the sun was better today, and Lan Bao was bored in the house, so he pulled him out to play with her.
Lan Bao was squatting in the corner at this time to compete with the cat, she thought that the sun was good today, everyone had to get up and walk, but this little flower cat was still lying in the nest, lazy, eyes half squinted and couldn't get up, how can this work, I got up to play, how can you still lie down, this is definitely not good.
So Sapphire dragged the cat out of its nest, but as soon as the kitten was dragged out, he slowly stood up and walked back to the nest and continued to lie down, Sapphire continued to drag it out, it continued to walk back, no one or one cat compromised, and fought hard.
Shen Junzhu on the side looked at it, shook his head, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and continued to read.
It's been almost half a year, Shen Junzhu has slowly gone from the initial despair, to the later passing, and then to the current relief, he also wants to open, since it is already like this, no matter how sad he is, he can't change anything by giving up on himself, it is better to be at peace with the situation, and Lan Bao did not dislike himself, the two can still accompany each other to complete the last part of the road.
"Young Master", Mama Luo walked in and said, "Someone is looking for you." ”
"Huh?" Shen Junzhu thought he had misheard, "Who?"
"The master of Xile Temple said that he has some relationship with you."
"Xile Temple? Have a relationship with me?" Shen Junzhu heard that it was the master of Xile Temple, although he was a little surprised, but he was not much shocked, when he heard Zi'er mention the name of Xile Temple a long time ago, especially when he saw its peak, he had a feeling that he had an indescribable connection with this temple, so he was not much surprised now.
"Young Master, do you want to see you? They know that you are poisonous, that you will have a full moon night, and that you had an accident on the Midyear Festival last year. ”
Mama Luo saw that Shen Junzhu was silent, a little anxious, and hurriedly added a few words, she still hopes that the young master will see her, it is always good to have hope.
"Well, let's see." Shen Junzhu nodded.
"Do you want to take a break then?" Mama Luo wondered if the young master would not want to meet directly, so she asked.
"......, no need, it's already like this, you can't change the status quo without separation, I've already thought about it." Shen Junzhu said indifferently.
"Okay, I'll go and bring them here." Mama Luo turned around and walked out, tears in her eyes. Her young master is no longer entangled in the past, no longer immersed in the dark, and the young master who can walk into the sunshine again is back, it's really good, it's all the credit of Bao'er, Bao'er has reborn the young master again.
Mama Luo walked into the backyard with the four of them, which was the first time Hongwen Chanyi saw Junzhu after his rebirth.
When you enter the backyard, the first thing that catches your eye is a tall ginkgo tree with towering branches, and it is early spring. A young man in a purple gold-trimmed robe was sitting at a stone table under a tree, a little bit of sunlight shining on him through the leaves, leaving mottled shadows, bright and dark, and sometimes even refracted with golden light.
He tied his hair with a white hosta on the top of his head, a few strands of black hair slid through his snow-white neck and hung down on his chest, his wrist rested on the table casually, he held a book in his hand, and looked at it quietly, exuding a lonely atmosphere, as if it was a green bamboo standing proudly in the ice and snow, which made people can't help but want to see its full appearance, but unfortunately a silver mask covered most of its true face of Lushan, revealing only a pair of cold purple eyes, as well as thin lips that make people infinitely reverie, with shocking beauty in regret.
He was still leaning on his leg against a little girl holding a kitten, she was wearing a bud, a round face, a pair of big eyes looked at them without blinking, with a joyful expression on her face, that look cute, the boy's hand was gently rubbing the bud on the girl's head.
One cold and one hot, complement each other, it is really a beautiful picture.
The four of them were shocked to varying degrees, and the scene in front of them was like an independent world, interpreting their own stories, and people and things from the outside world were cut off unless the master of the world opened the door.
