Chapter 35: The Past of the Court (18)
The Du family was dead silent.
The people who could be sent out were all sent out to find Du Tuo, and there were only a few maids left who didn't dare to come out at home. Du's mother loved her son very much, but she didn't expect to force her son away, Du Yannian sat in the hall for two days and two nights without thinking about tea and dinner, not sleeping or talking, and repeatedly looked at the twelve words left by Du Tuo, "The child is not filial, the day is far away, don't look for it again." When he heard that someone was coming, he raised his head. When he was sick and reported to Peng Zu at home, Du Yannian sat up suddenly, grabbed his sick hand and said, "You two are friends of Tu'er, you must know where he went!" ”
The illness had seen this scene and this scene, Fang believed that Du Tuo was really gone, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, he really couldn't imagine that Du Tuo would make such a choice. "We don't know, but he asked someone to leave us a letter, which was delivered today, and he said that it was a boat away, right here, you see." With that, he took out the letter and handed it to Du Yannian.
Du Yannian read it word by word twice, and wept: "My son will not come back, I understand his temper, just fight for a breath." There are many inconveniences in my family, so I won't entertain you today. With that, he returned the letter to the sick man, turned around, and moved towards the bedroom step by step.
The illness has shouted: "Can't you paint a portrait and send it to various gates, and send it back when you see Du Tuo?" There is also the promise of their marriage, spreading the news everywhere, and he will definitely come back when he hears it. ”
Du Yannian stopped and said in a hoarse voice: "No." First, how can the state be used for private matters at home? Second, not intermarrying with merchants is a Han family system, and Hanchen should abide by it. Go tell the girl, don't mistake someone, she's right! ”
The illness has secretly admired: It is really a blessing in the world to have such a courtier in the court, or his own knowledge is too short!
Back in the court, several people discussed how to tell Ruyi, and after discussing it, they felt that they still told her truthfully, even if she died and didn't wait, it wouldn't make her feel that Du Tuo was a negative man. Pingjun and Ruyi are the most acquainted, Pingjun proposed to go to Ruyi, but he and Peng Zu refused to live or die, for fear that she would suffer the wind again. is still sick and Peng Zu went to find Ruyi.
Wang Fengguang was in the restaurant, greeting customers as usual. He often runs the rivers and lakes, and heard that the son of a big official in the court ran away from home, so he inadvertently inquired, it was Du Tuo, who never closed his eyes after a heartache, and did not dare to tell Ruyi, nor did he dare to show his unhappiness, so he could only be busy like no one. Seeing that the two of them had come, Wang Fengguang hurriedly beckoned them to sit down in the private room, and was about to drink together. The illness has a sad face and said: "I won't drink today, we have an important thing to say to Ruyi." ”
When Fengguang heard this, he sighed and said, "I know everything, I have heard about it." The little girl has such a good numerology, and finally met a wishful husband, why did she run away, I haven't told Ruyi yet. ”
The illness has already said: "Du Tuo's family did not agree to this marriage, so he left in anger." ”
Fengguang said: "I'm just doing a small business, I didn't steal or rob, I didn't cheat, and the little girl didn't make any mistakes, so why can't I ......" He spread his hands and stopped talking.
Peng Zu said: "Don't talk about this, the long pain is better than the short pain, you still have to tell Ruyi as soon as possible, Du Tuo told her, don't wait, easy to marry quickly." ”
As he was talking, Ruyi pushed the door in, and said with tears on his face: "I have made an appointment with him, unless he doesn't marry, if he doesn't marry, if he doesn't marry, he has encountered great difficulties, how can I abandon him." He doesn't come back for a day, I wait for him for a day; If he doesn't come back for a year, I'll wait for him for a year; If you don't come back for a lifetime, I'll wait for him for the rest of my life! ”
The three of them were stunned, and they were greatly moved, and secretly sighed: The most beautiful characters in this world are more loyal women!
Fengguang said: "Okay, good, just wait, raise you for your father!" ”
In the eyes of outsiders, the court order is really a fat shortage, if it is a different person, just from so many miscellaneous servants, coolies, and prisoners, tens of thousands of dollars can be pulled out every year, and then the price of materials is falsely reported, and it is not a big deal to make 100,000 yuan a year. If you are more enlightened, you can stammer the yellow doors of those who are in charge of the palace, and you can get a lot of rewards from the harem with a few good words.
But Zhang He made the fat shortage into a bitter shortage, a poor shortage, busy all year round, no less work, no less legs, no less heart exercises, just a little money, in the end there is not much money to use, pick and choose, and finally set a small and old house in Shangguan. Zhang He said to Peng Zu: "My father can't stand you, I have so much money in my hand, I have used it for my illness first, and I will talk about it when your affairs are clear." ”
Peng Zu said: "Where is my father, my illness is already my own brother, he now has a good home, and he should be used by him." As for me, I really don't have anyone to look up to, so don't worry about it. ”
Zhang He Lao burst into tears: "Creation makes people, I thought that the prince had been wiped out, back then, when the illness came to our family, I recognized it, no matter how much the clan managed, I would raise him, in order to repay the great kindness of the first prince, but now it is gradually gone, but this wish is in the way, but it is in the way of your business." ”
Peng Zu tried every means of persuasion to make Zhang He settle down.
When Zhang He told the sick about the purchase of the house, the illness was not accepted, and the illness said: "Since I came to the court, the food and clothing are not yours, you are like a reinvention to me, and you are as kind as a mountain, although you did not give birth to me, but you have the labor to support me, how can I want your house again!" Besides, is this not stopping Peng Zu's path, I can't do such a thing. ”
Zhang He said with a smile: "Silly boy, over the years, the clan has given you money and food every year, and I have saved it for you wherever you eat, just to buy a house, and even the money for happy events is enough." ”
The two of you went back and forth, and finally agreed to use this house in the form of borrowing, and returned it to him when Peng Zu got married.
