Chapter 285: Zhao Ziyue 13
Li Yan felt strange, and only felt that since Zhao Ziyue's family was in Kyoto, why didn't he go back directly, but went to live outside? He couldn't understand Zhao Ziyue's idea of being timid when he came to the door, but he didn't say anything, so he still found an inn and settled down first.
This stay is six or seven days of hard work, Zhao Ziyue went out early every day, and didn't come back until night, everyone asked him what he was doing, and he just said that he went out to play.
He said that he was going out to play, but he spent a few tea dollars to sit in a crowded place for a day, and he had been away from Kyoto for several years, and he didn't know anything about the changes in Kyoto over the years, so he could only find this place to inquire.
Li Yan was worried about whether Zhao Ziyue had something unspeakable, and followed him once, and when he saw him sitting in the tea shop all day, he felt more and more weird, and he also caught him and asked: "Since you are back, why don't you go back, your father and aunt must be very happy to see you." ”
Zhao Ziyue pursed her lips and plucked up her courage before she whispered to Li Yan: "I, I inquired, my father and mother have now walked out of the sadness of losing me, and they have a little sister, I, I'm afraid ......."
He was afraid that there was no place for him in that home, and it was obvious that this fear seemed very meaningless, but he just couldn't help but think like this.
Li Yan felt that his idea was very strange, if his father and mother were doing well, and he was too late to be happy with a younger brother or sister, how could he feel that he had no status in the family.
However, Zhao Ziyue has always been a delicate person, and it is difficult to say that he has a lot of thoughts, Li Yan thought for a while and only said: "Why don't I send you a letter?" ”
I also asked someone to send a letter to Su Ruolan in Snake Mountain Village before, but there has been no news, Li Yan also said that he was asked to write another letter, but Zhao Ziyue felt that it was unnecessary and did not send it to Kyoto again.
But when Zhao Ziyue heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need......" He was even more afraid that as soon as this letter was sent, it would not even splash a drop of water like the one in Snake Mountain Village.
Li Yan looked at his pale face, bit his lip tightly, he couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "You don't want to drill the horns, your mother gave birth to you in October, and there has been no news for many years, I am afraid that my eyes will cry blind, and now that she has come out of the shadows, she is naturally happy to give birth to your sister again, but if I see you go back again, I am afraid that I will be even happier." ”
He added: "Although I have never been a mother, I also know that there is no mother who does not love her own children." He pointed to his nose and smiled bitterly: "Let's take my mother, she is very fierce to me on weekdays, but what I want to eat, she has always been close to me first, and even my father has to be behind." ”
Speaking of his father, Li Yan also remembered that he hadn't seen them for a long time, if he knew the whereabouts of his father and mother, he would definitely not be able to stay up and look for them.
After all, this conversation ended without a problem, and I don't know if Zhao Ziyue listened to what Li Yan said, but he still went out early the next day and didn't come back until the night.
Zhao Ziyue didn't sleep all night, he changed into clean clothes early and stood in front of the door of Mu Mansion, he didn't dare to go up and knock on the door, just guarded in front of the door, he didn't know what he was doing here.
The princess in the palace is about to be full moon, and there are people coming and going in front of the Mu Mansion, Zhao Ziyue has been guarding the door all day and also alarmed the gatekeeper in front of the house, and he felt very strange in his heart, and he saw that the old housekeeper Chengyi came out and reported to him.
Cheng Yi has been a housekeeper in Mu Mansion for decades, this son is a lot old but his body is still very healthy, and when he heard this, he frowned and asked, "What about people?" ”
The porter pointed forward, only to see a thin young man standing there nervously, seeing his own eyes and dodging once, although Cheng Yi is old, but his eyes are excellent, he can see the silhouette of the young man, and his heart is really shocked.
When Mu Mingshu was young, he was already the housekeeper in the house, and when Mu Mingshu became the princess and became the queen, he is still a housekeeper in this mansion today, and he is not without ability for decades, just at a glance, he can see that the young man is the same as the eldest prince of the year, although the young man is a few heads taller than the eldest prince, and he is thin, but his facial features have not changed at all.
He stumbled under his feet and explained to the porter: "Look at it, don't let this little brother go." Then he turned and went into the house.
This old housekeeper is also a knowledgeable person, from the original Jade and the eldest princess to fake her death, to the current queen mother who came back from the dead, it is not impossible if the eldest prince is still alive.
He was bent on reporting this matter to Mu Li or Wen Ziran, but these two people were in the study to meet the distinguished guests, and they didn't even have a room to catch their breath, and they saw that the sky was getting dark, and they didn't even see the two masters of the house. Cheng Yi is also a slave in the mansion, and he knows that he can't enter the study for a while, so he simply goes to the second young master Mu Mingyuan as soon as he thinks about it.
Mu Mingyuan didn't like those socials the most, and he had already found a way to hide in his own yard to practice bows and arrows, and when he heard the old housekeeper talk about it with a pang, his expression suddenly changed, and he usually threw the bow and arrow on the ground with a clatter, grabbed Chengyi and asked: "Really, really look exactly the same?" ”
Cheng Yi couldn't be sure whether that person was Zhao Ziyue or not, and he was afraid of taking responsibility and shirking a sentence: "Similar, similar, can't be exactly the same." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mu Mingyuan running out, Cheng Yi chased after him for a few steps, and his intestines were repentant, he originally wanted this master to go into the study to say something, but he didn't ask him to look for someone by himself.
Mu Mingyuan didn't care about that much, if he knew that after all these years, he always felt that Zhao Ziyue was not dead, but everyone said that he was dead, even if he really recognized the mistake, he would have to look for it.
But when he arrived at the front of the mansion, Zhao Ziyue had already left, and he couldn't even see the figure, and the angry Mu Mingyuan grabbed the placket of the gatekeeper and said angrily: "What about people? Why is it gone? ”
The porter was only a teenager, and he was very frightened when he saw his master getting angry, and he didn't know which "person" he was talking about for a while, so he only asked tremblingly: "Second, which person did the second master say?" ”
"I have been guarding in front of the mansion for a day...... Mu Mingyuan couldn't call out Zhao Ziyue's name, every time he thought of him over the years, his nose was always sour and his eyes were red, even this is the case.
As soon as the porter heard it, he knew that it was the young man, and hurriedly pointed to the direction where Zhao Ziyue left: "I just left, I left from here, and the slave just reported to the big housekeeper......
Before he finished his words, he saw Mu Mingyuan disappear in front of him as if a gust of wind was blowing.
When Zhao Ziyue was found by Mu Mingyuan, he was asking for a bowl of wontons in front of a small food stall on the street, and when the hot wontons were served, he couldn't open his eyes because of the heat, and they all said that the man didn't flick when he had tears, but he made the uncomfortable feeling so that his heart hurt for a while, and he just wanted to cry and vent once.
He scooped up a wonton and blew it on his lips a few times, telling himself, "Why did you come to Kyoto, you didn't even have the courage to do this, so you shouldn't have come back in the first place." With that, he took the vegetarian meat wonton in his mouth from the spoon and chewed it a few times and swallowed it in his stomach, but it was still like chewing wax.
After eating this one, he scooped up another one, and his nose sucked twice and said: "Ming'er must go to find my uncle, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle, they must still remember my ......"
The hot soup in the porcelain bowl smoked his eyes, but he raised his head and forced him back.
Zhao Ziyue didn't notice that a burly teenager shuttled through the crowd and kept shouting the name of "Zhao Ziyue", he ate a bowl full of wontons into his stomach, leaving a few dollars and then walking towards the inn full of decadence.
His footsteps were slow and lonely, and he seemed out of place with this lively street scene, and he didn't know how long he walked, but he felt a strong hand on his shoulder, and heard a young man asking, "This little brother ......?"
Zhao Ziyue turned his head and met the young man's eyes, and saw the emotions of surprise and surprise in the young man's eyes.
He looked up and down at the appearance of this young man, tall and burly, with dark skin, but he was wearing a brocade and looking at a luxurious body, Zhao Ziyue felt that he recognized this person, but he couldn't remember who this person was, so he had to stare at him.
But he didn't want to, the young man also looked at him blankly, his mouth opened and closed and he couldn't speak, and in the end, he actually hugged Zhao Ziyue into his arms: "Ziyue......"
The simple word "Ziyue" seemed to touch Zhao Ziyue's nerves, making him tense and unable to move.
"Ziyue, it's me, I'm my little uncle......" Mu Mingyuan spoke again, and his choked voice made him cry more and more.
Who would have thought that Mu Mingyuan, the second master of the dignified Mu Mansion, would cry like a child on the street with a thin teenager in his arms in public, Zhao Ziyue hugged Mu Mingyuan with his backhand, and shouted the same cry: "Little uncle......"
After many years, Zhao Ziyue never thought that his little uncle, who liked to pretend to be an adult since he was a child, could still recognize himself at a glance, but he couldn't recognize him.
For so many years, Mu Mingyuan has put his mind on the barracks, and he is no longer the white and tender child he was at the beginning, and Zhao Ziyue is financially strapped because of his body, except that his body is still the same as before.
The two uncles and nephews who had reunited after a long absence, cried on the street, causing passers-by to look sideways.
