Chapter 139: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Country
Shuozhou Mansion.
Zhu Youzhu was chatting with Zhang Yue in the house, and the guards came to say that Zhao Youdao had come to see the emperor, saying that there were treasures to be offered to the emperor.
Zhu Youzhu didn't want to see it, Zhang Yue had heard from many local officials since he was a child, and he was curious at this time, saying that he wanted to see the excitement, and Zhu Youzhu had to agree when he saw this.
After Zhao Youdao visited the emperor, he took out a brocade box and presented it, Zhu Youzhu opened the brocade box, and there was a pile of paper inside, he glanced at it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he looked at Zhao Youdao as usual, and asked, "This is?" ”
Zhao Youdao hurriedly said, "Enlighten the emperor, the minister accidentally got Zhen Zhiqi's true handiwork, and learned that the emperor appreciated this person's words, and dedicated it to the emperor." ”
Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue behind him, Zhang Yue was also curious, since his previous works caused an uproar in the capital, he has not flowed out of the handwriting, where does the 'authenticity' come from?
She came to the brocade box, took a closer look, and was surprised that the pile of paper was actually a set of simple calligraphy written by herself in order to teach Ye Zi to read. She asked Zhao Youdao anxiously, "Where did you get this set of calligraphy?" ”
Zhao Youdao hurriedly replied truthfully, "Hui Niangniang, it was received by the minister's master in the pawnshop, and the minister's master participated in this calligraphy appreciation conference and saw Zhen Zhiqi's works, so he could see at a glance that this was a genuine work." ”
"Pawnshop? You mean this one is being staked in a pawnshop, which pawnshop? When was it discovered? Zhang Yue's tone was urgent.
Zhao Youdao was a little dazed, and said timidly, "Gaosheng pawnshop on Chengdong Street!" Discovered three days ago. ”
Zhu Youzhu saw that Zhang Yue's reaction was unusual, so he hurriedly walked over and held Zhang Yue's hand, "Yue'er, do you know this person?" ”
Zhang Yue nodded excitedly at Zhu Youjiao, "It's a mother and daughter, they are my benefactors, Your Majesty, they must encounter difficulties, they must find them!" ”
Zhu Youzhu comforted Zhang Yue, "Mu Bin, you and the same Governor Zhao, find the mother and daughter who pawned this pair of calligraphy as soon as possible." ”
Mu Bin and Zhao Youdao went out after accepting the order. Zhu Youzhu turned around and hugged Zhang Yue, "Yue'er, tell me now, what's going on?" ”
Zhang Yue said, "Before I was angry that you lied to me and left the palace, I wanted to go to Hami to find Guli, but when I passed by the border, I fell ill in the rain and almost died in the wilderness, but it was this mother and daughter who saved me and cured me of my illness." It was there that I was taken captive by the Tatars who came to rob me. Anyway, if it weren't for them, I would have been in the wilderness..."
Zhu Youzhu hugged Zhang Yue and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "It's all my fault, it's me who caused you to suffer so much." ”
Zhang Yue looked up at Zhu Youzhang's eyes, knowing that his words made Zhu Youzhu blame himself again, and hurriedly said, "It's all over, don't blame yourself, the emperor." Now it is the most important thing for us to find a life-saver. ”
Zhu Youzhu hugged his wife tightly in his arms and nodded silently.
In the evening, Mu Bin and Zhao Youdao came to reply and said that there was news of the mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter are currently living in a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. The mother seemed to be sick, and Mu Bin had already sent someone to hire a doctor for the mother and daughter, sent medicine, food and daily necessities, and sent someone to protect them.
Zhang Yue wanted to take the two over to meet each other, but Zhu Youzhu thought about it and stopped her.
———————————————
A long-abandoned old house on the outskirts of Shuozhou has been deserted and deserted, but it has been lively these days.
In the afternoon, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen looked curiously at the people walking back and forth in the yard and the house.
These people were very polite, helping her and her mother cook and decoct medicines, but they didn't say a word to them. Outside the courtyard, there were some men in black guarding, looking around vigilantly.
The night before, these men came to her house, and she did not know who sent them, and brought a doctor to help her mother see a doctor, help them cook, and bring them a lot of clothes and supplies. I don't ask them where they come from.
She was thinking about it when suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door. She hid behind the door in fear, stared at the entrance of the courtyard, and saw two young men leaping into the courtyard.
The man on the left is handsome, with a noble and detached temperament, and the man on the right is thin and small, looking around with a pair of smart big eyes, and the two are the current emperors Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yue.
When the girl saw Zhang Yue, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she hurriedly ran out from behind the door, pounced on her, and shouted, "Little Fifth Sister!" You're not dead! ”
Tears flowed from her eyes. Zhang Yue hugged the girl back, her eyes were a little moist, "Yezi, it's me, I'm not dead!" ”
"Little Fifth Sister, I miss you so much! Woooooo I thought you had been killed by those soldiers, and I cried for a long time. ”
Zhang Yue held Ye Zi's shoulder and chuckled, "Ye Zi, don't cry, how can the fifth sister die so easily, what about your mother?" ”
"Lie down in the house. Little Fifth Sister, my mother has been sick for many days, and she is so sick. ”
A trace of worry stained Zhang Yue's eyes, "Quick, take me to see." ”
Several people entered the house, and there was a middle-aged woman lying on the earthen bed in the house, it was Ye Zi's mother, Aunt Sun, who was pale, with her eyes closed, and she was also very thin. Several of the entourages sent by Mu Bin before were decocting medicine and taking care of Aunt Sun, and when they saw Zhu Youzhu and the others coming in, they quickly stopped what they were doing, stepped aside, and stood with their hands down.
Zhang Yue stepped forward and held Aunt Sun's hand, "Aunt Sun, how are you?" I'm a little five. ”
Aunt Sun opened her eyes and saw Zhang Yue, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye, "Little Wu, it's great that you're not dead, God bless!" ”
"Aunt Sun, I'm not dead, my family found me and rescued me, how is your health? How did you get to Shuozhou? ”
"After you were captured by the Tatar soldiers, Ye Zi and I have been thinking about you, you were arrested to save our mother and daughter, Ye Zi and I have to inform your family no matter what, but I don't know where to find your family, I suddenly thought of what you said, the head of the Xuanwei Academy in Wuling Mountain is your senior brother, so we sold the house and land to make up the travel expenses and went to Wuling Mountain, Hebei. But as soon as I walked to Shuozhou, I suddenly contracted a cold, and I couldn't afford to get sick, and I was almost worth all the money on my body. But the disease just didn't get better. It doesn't matter if I go, but the leaves are so small, I can't even imagine her future. Ahem, ahem, ahem!! ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Sun coughed violently. Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help her smooth her chest, and it took a long time to calm down.
Aunt Sun continued, "Until the day before yesterday, suddenly a lot of people came to the courtyard, some doctors treated me, decocted medicine, and some people sent food, clothing. asked the origin but didn't tell you, Xiao Wu, did you arrange these? ”
