Chapter 198: The Old Land
Zhangzhu wanted to go to Dagongfang to have a look, and her wish was fulfilled the day after she arrived in the capital.
Although it is inconvenient to be a guest in the He family, as the main family, the He family is not too restrained about the palm beads, after all, the two wives heard that the palm beads rushed to the capital from Shoufeng, and they were already very admired when they didn't even bring a maid on the road, and when they heard that she was going out for a walk, they also agreed.
"I ordered two more people to follow, and then let Shuanghua accompany you."
Zhangzhu declined this arrangement: "There is no need for such a big formation, Liao Ye next to him is very familiar with the capital, and it is not convenient for him to lead the way." I don't dare to bother Sister He, I'll come back when I go out for a walk. ”
Mrs. He didn't feel too reluctant when she heard it, so she let the palm beads go.
Zhangzhu got into the car and asked Liao Kai to help drive.
Liao Kai only thought that the palm beads were very fresh to the capital when he first arrived, so he volunteered and said: "I took Miss Fu to the lively street market, what does the girl want to buy?" ”
Zhangzhu said: "I don't buy anything, you take me to Dagongfang." ”
"Dagongfang? Miss Fu knows this? ”
"yes, I'd like to check it out."
Liao Kai was a little puzzled, but he still drove out of the alley where the He family lived. Zhangzhu picked a corner of the curtain and paid attention to what was special around him.
"Dagongfang is also called General's Fang, that's where General Xie's family lives, but I heard that something happened to the Xie family, I'm afraid that Dagongfang has already changed its name."
That's true, but Zhangzhu still wants to go back to the place where she grew up to see, even if she can't enter the mansion, she wants to go and see.
Liao Kai's driving skills are much higher than those of Runsheng, and the car runs fast and smoothly, without bumps at all.
It was about seven or eight miles away from the alley where the He family lived to the southeast, and the market over there became more and more familiar.
There used to be a tall archway in front of the great gongfang, which was built by Emperor Gaozong for the merits of his grandfather, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the archway.
Zhangzhu saw the ground, hurriedly stopped the car, she jumped out of the car, stood at the entrance of the street and looked inward, the archway at the entrance of the street only left two carved pillars of white marble, there is a pair of huge stone lions in front of the pillar and now there is only one left, but the only one left has also been damaged, no head, only a body remains.
She walked on the bluestone pavement, and the setting sun stretched her shadow long. When she was still Xie Ruoyi, she went out either on horseback or in a car, and she rarely took this road. The two rows of houses had not changed at all, but the whole street was deserted, and there was not even a pedestrian in it. The General's Mansion is at the end of Dagongfang, two miles from the street entrance to the gate, and this area used to be full of the Xie family's property.
Fu Zhangzhu walked alone on the street, and there seemed to be the rumbling sound of the carriage in his ears, as well as the shouting of his seventh brother waving a horsewhip urging the horses to run fast, as well as the sound of her father's teaching to her, and Ruolan's laughter in her ears. She seemed to see her father riding a tall horse and wearing armor from here, and she also seemed to see her mother riding in a car and just returning home.
It was the hardest part of the road she had ever walked, until she stood in front of a gate.
She looked up and saw that the plaque on the door, "General's Mansion" had been replaced by "Bachelor's Mansion". The plaque was new, and the paint was shiny. Her home was inside the gate, but she couldn't step inside.
There was a gray-bearded old man sitting on the gatehouse, and when he saw a young girl standing below, he stared at the plaque for a long time, and secretly said Who is looking for someone? The kind old man went down the stone steps and asked, "Little girl, who are you looking for?" ”
"Whose house is this?"
The old man replied, "This is Bachelor Hong's Mansion, who are you looking for, little girl?" ”
Zhangzhu asked again: "Which Master Hong?" ”
The old man said again: "Our family has a noble concubine, do you know, it is the Hong family." ”
Zhangzhu was shocked, the one in the Jinluan Palace killed the Xie family, and then the concubine's mother's family lived in their Xie family, so the Hong family is not taboo to make trouble here?
Zhangzhu was stunned when he heard this, and the old man saw that this little girl didn't look like she was looking for someone, so he wanted to drive her away: "This place has nothing to do with you, don't come to see the excitement, let's go." Watch out for a moment when they come out to chase you. ”
Zhangzhu pursed her lips, obviously her home was in front of her, but she couldn't get close.
"I heard that this is the General's Mansion, I'll take a look, I have a friend who lives here, so I'm here to ask."
When the old man heard this, his face suddenly became a little unhappy, and he hurriedly drove away the palm beads: "What is the General's Mansion, this is now the Bachelor's Mansion, the surname here is Hong, not the surname Xie." The Xie family has long since died, go elsewhere, go quickly, go quickly. ”
Zhangzhu was helplessly expelled, and even if she got here, she still seemed to have no way to move forward, so she had to go back in frustration.
She walked slowly towards the sunset, and the prosperity of the past flashed back in front of her eyes one by one. As he walked, a kid came across the street, and the kid had a cloth bag on his back and bowed his back. He is about the same size as a leap student, and is dressed in brown caftan brown. Its face is somewhat familiar.
The kid didn't see Zhangzhu either, he was about to walk to a small alley with his pocket on his back, Zhangzhu's heart sank, she suddenly remembered this person, and suddenly shouted: "Li Feng'an!" ”
The kid heard someone call him, he hurriedly looked back, and finally saw the palm beads, but he didn't know the woman in front of him at all, and he asked in surprise: "Girl, you called me?" ”
Zhangzhu replied with some excitement: "I am calling you, your mother's illness is better?" ”
Li Feng'an looked at the palm beads in surprise, and secretly said that he didn't recognize this person, who was this person.
"My mother is sick, and the doctor only came to see it yesterday."
"Can I go see her?"
Li Fengan hesitated a little, but he still nodded and agreed.
Zhangzhu followed him into the alley, and Li Feng'an pushed open a courtyard door with paint off. Inside is an ordinary courtyard house. There was a jujube tree in the yard, and a big yellow dog was tied under the jujube tree. The big yellow dog saw the wild barking of the living. A rope was tied against the wall, and the clothes were dried on the rope.
Lee Bong-an entered the house and put down the cloth bag. So he went to one of the rooms. Zhangzhu also went in, and the room inside was not too bright, and she saw a woman lying on the kang, and there was a smell of medicine in the room, and there was also a musty smell, and there was a bad smell.
"Mrs. Li!" Zhangzhu called in a low voice.
The woman lying on the kang heard that a woman was telling her to turn over, and she saw the girl standing at the door, but she didn't recognize who it was after looking at it for a while.
Zhangzhu walked to the kang, but saw that the woman on the kang was already skinny, but the eyes on the palm-sized face were a little bulging.
"Feng'an, who is this girl?"
Li Fengan replied: "I don't know either, I met at the entrance of the alley, and she said that she wanted to come to see her mother." ”
Zhangzhu pulled Li Niangzi's hand a little excitedly, and her nose was sour and she didn't cry.
