After the palace test, Zhao Yu was appointed as the Tanhualang of this session in the main hall, second only to the champion and the list, and Fu Ruoshui also achieved quite good results.

The news that Zhao Yu became a palace to test Hualang spread quickly, and flew back to Anlucheng and Yanling like wings. Hearing the news, the shopkeeper Wang almost made a golden body to offer Zhao Yu: Who dares to say that Beining Restaurant is an obstacle for students to take the entrance examination? The big one is there! Zhao Yu is a living signboard, and whether you can get into the list or not is really just your own problem!

Zhao Yu has no father or mother, and he lives alone on weekdays, so when Yanling County Ling Wang Ci received this good news, he sent it directly to Yuelai Restaurant.

The two officials were entrusted by the king, and deliberately put their speed full, blowing and blowing all the way in the direction of Yuelai Restaurant.

Standing at the door to greet the good news of the government, Qiaozhi saw two tall horses followed by Wu Yangyang, and was directly dumbfounded, until the official who reported the news said the second time before he reacted, and handed the red envelope that had been prepared long ago to the official, the two officials looked at each other, smiled and complimented Zhao Yu, and quietly put the red envelope aside when leaving.

Zhao Yu, the new Tanhualang, has been busy these days, and has been approached by all kinds of people to all kinds of entertainment, and more and more students and scholars have come to slap him, and he has a lot of good words, which is still the attitude of the students who were disgusted and ridiculed in Beining Restaurant before?

Zhao Yu himself is a very easy-going person, he doesn't know how to refuse, and in the past few days, he has practiced the template of rejecting people. After he finally pushed away all the invitations on his body, he had a meal with Fu Ruoshui, who was still socializing, and then made a salute and prepared to return to Yanling.

Sitting in the carriage, he hesitated, and did not go back to Yanling directly, but said another place, a place that he had always hidden in the depths of his memory and did not dare to share with others casually, he wanted to return to the place where he was born and worship his parents.

Speaking of which, the experience of life is really wonderful, just like Zhao Yu now, walking on the stone road in the small city of Jinhai, obviously it has not been seen for more than ten years, but there is no change in the surroundings, the scenery in his eyes and the nurse who hugged him and ran wildly, and the scenery on both sides of the rapid backwards almost coincided, as if time had never passed, and he was still the innocent child.

The children running by the side of the road muttered a familiar tone, it was a memory that Zhao Yu wanted to forget for so many years and did not dare to forget, walking slowly along the path in his memory, he still came to the vicinity of his former home.

That good news was actually sent to three places, one was Anlu City in another country, one was Yanling where he lived now, and the last one was Jinhai City where he was now.

When his parents died, he was far from the point where he needed to leave his hometown, after all, he still had relatives, even if he didn't have the help of his mother, he should be able to live only by relatives and friends, after all, a child is just a child, how much can he eat.

But when his parents were sentenced to death, those relatives thought he was unlucky, saying that he was a fox star, and secretly arranged a lot of bad things about his parents.

Zhao Yu's parents were still in prison and had not really been escorted to the execution ground, when several waves of so-called 'relatives' came to his family, and under the banner of helping Zhao Yu, they embezzled most of his family's property. The nurse wanted to help him regain what belonged to him, but was directly pushed to the ground by the group of relatives, saying that an old woman who was a servant did not manage the affairs of their Zhao family.

Seeing that Zhao Yu's family's private wealth was turned over by these relatives, they even swaggered on the master's seat, instructing Zhao Yu, who was still a child, to serve them tea and pour water, and spit and told how much effort they had wasted to protect Zhao Yu's parents, so whether it was home ornaments or silver, Zhao Yu and his parents owed them, and it should be.

But in fact, these people dared to act so recklessly when they heard that Zhao Yu's parents would be sentenced to beheading, and they concluded that Zhao Yu's parents could not come out, so they took the lead and earned as much property as they could.

The nurse was helpless, and she didn't want to be bullied by her little master who was cared for and loved to the point that she was bullied, so she rushed to the kitchen and got a kitchen knife, and almost fought for her life to send this group of annoying relatives away.

The nurse is just a milkmaid who can't read a big word, she has no connections and no foresight of things, she always thought that Zhao Yu's parents were wronged and would be acquitted one day, but until the execution of the 'beheading to show the public', she didn't wait for the pardon she imagined.

People who knew her well persuaded her, telling her to take advantage of this chaos and learn from those relatives of Zhao Yu's family, and run away with a penny, she refused, she couldn't let go of Zhao Yu, the little master, and didn't dare to let him face this real and cruel world alone.

Originally, her plan was to rely on the property left by Zhao Yu's parents, how could she confess Zhao Yu smoothly, she didn't think about leaving Jinhai at first, after all, this is her and Zhao Yu's home.

However, in the middle of the night, she had already fallen asleep, but she was awakened by a sharp knock on the door, and when she opened the door, she found that it was the official who had taken Zhao Yu's parents away.

She had an instinctive fear of these officials, and was about to close the door, but the official told her that the date of the beheading had been brought forward, at noon tomorrow, and that the non-confiscation of property was nullified...... In the end, he said with a complicated face, although the adults of his family have decided to confiscate all of them, you can still take away some fine gold and silver, including some less important ornaments... If you can, take Zhao Yu's little son with you, this case... Quite suspicious.

The nurse didn't fully understand what the servant said, but she understood the last sentence, she hurriedly packed up the fine soft silver taels that needed to be brought on the road, and took the set of study pen and ink that Zhao Yu's father and mother liked very much, and brought a few sets of her and Zhao Yu's change of clothes, and woke up Zhao Yu at dawn, and didn't explain the reason, so she took him on the road.

Although Zhao Yu is young, he is not stupid, thanks to his relatives, what the nurse can't understand, he can probably understand, and he knows early on that his father and mother can't be as innocent and pardoned as the nurse hopes for day and night, on the contrary, it is very likely to walk into the ending that his bullshit relatives have been looking forward to.

Therefore, when the nurse woke him up and wanted to take him out of Jinhai, he saw that the nurse had only packed a small bag, and most of the expensive ornaments were left in the house, and he understood that his parents had ........

It wasn't until the nurse was running wildly on the mountain road with him in her arms that his eyes were silent, and all that came to his ears was the sound of the howling wind and the sound of the beasts in the jungle, but he still heard the sound of his parents being executed by the executioners.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and Zhao Yu has re-entered this city that made him ignorant, sad and desperate.

There was a man selling hats for shade on the side of the road, and when the sun was full, he counted two copper plates and handed them to the vendor, and bought a hat to wear on his head, and his face was hidden under the wide eaves.

Turning around the path, he didn't look at what his former home would be like, whether it was uninhabited or renovated beyond recognition, but went to a forest, squatted down in the corner, and set up the incense offerings he had bought along the way.

After the nurse took him to Yanling to settle down, he went back alone, and then at that time every year, she would disappear for a few days under the pretext of going out to run errands, and entrust him to others. It wasn't until the nurse was sick and bedridden that she took out a note and told him that this address was where his father and mother were buried, and told him to go back to worship at that time every year.

Soon after, the nurse died, and when he finished handling the nurse's funeral, the time had already passed, and he was really tired that year, and everything was in a hurry, so he didn't go, and the address on the note was firmly remembered by him, and he never opened it again.

In the next few years, due to various reasons, he didn't go, but only Zhao Yu understood in his heart that it was not that something was dragging him back, but that he didn't want to go and didn't dare to go.

And this time he became the Tanhualang hand-picked by the Holy Lord, and he finally had a reason to convince himself.

In fact, there is only one reason why he can't give up, as long as he doesn't look at it, don't think about it, don't listen, then he can still pretend that his father and mother are still there, and pretend that he hasn't experienced everything.... Although he knew it was a fantasy.

After worshipping his father and mother, and solemnly kowtowing a few more times, Zhao Yu got up, walked to the side of the road, hired a carriage, and prepared to return to Yanling.

Perhaps because he had unloaded another heavy burden in his heart, he sat in the carriage and chatted with the coachman for a while, but his heart was extremely happy.

"Childe, we're about to leave Jinhai." The coachman said.

"Okay, thank you." Zhao Yu agreed softly, but what she thought in her heart was pretty branches. This time, he got the name of Tanhualang, and he will definitely be assigned an official and a half-position, and when that time comes, how will he talk to Qiaozhi... Wait, his first priority should be to treat her to a 'whole fish feast', after all, he had promised.

Zhao Yu thought about it, and a smile appeared on his face, but this smile was interrupted before it lasted long, and the carriage stopped after a violent bump, and then the carriage curtain was raised, and several strong men with knives grabbed him out of the car like catching chickens.

The coachman, who had just greeted him with a smile, now had a gloomy face, standing with one of the strong men.

Zhao Yu's heart was cold, he had encountered a 'robbery road', no wonder this coachman was not surprised when he heard that he was going to Yanling, he just looked at him and let him get into the car, because this coachman didn't want to send him out of the city at all, his only purpose was to see him alone and bully, and pull him to a sparsely populated place, so that these strong men could rob.

The big man led by him untied his bulging baggage, and after taking the silver taels inside, he threw the rest of the things at Zhao Yu's feet, glanced at the coachman and said, "I thought you could bring me some good goods this time, but I didn't expect it to be such a poor scholar with no money." ”

The coachman was also very helpless, he saw that Zhao Yu was carrying such a large package alone, thinking that it should be all silver taels, but he didn't expect that it was just some pen and ink inkstones, which were completely worthless.

These big men carefully searched Zhao Yu's body again, and after making sure that he did not have a private silver ticket, he rode away, and the coachman who brought him didn't even look at him, and drove the carriage in the opposite direction.

Zhao Yu was left alone, standing in the unfamiliar forest, not knowing where to go.
