Chapter 8 The Capital

Before dawn, I was woken up by my mother, so I had to get up honestly in order to avoid suffering from the flesh and skin of my ears.

My mother quickly found the carriage, this time not a donkey cart, but a real one. The horse's face is longer than the donkey's face. Wonder where did that money come from? Wasn't the silver two in the burden taken away by Rong Ma's people a long time ago?

My mother said that it was a coil given by the clouds, and I didn't want it, but people said that his family had a lot of money. When my mother said this, there was no sense of unwantedness, but it seemed to be taken for granted.

It's just that I owe another favor. I sighed, I'll pay it back later.

This time, it was just me and my mother in the car, and the driver shouted and set off.

I lifted the curtain and looked at the sparse people on the street, and that terrifying night was like a dream, and there was nothing left but fear.

As he was leaving the gate, the coachman suddenly said, "Do you see the sign on the gate?" I just posted it yesterday. ”

I looked over and saw that there was indeed a notice, only to see a few big words on the notice:

"Fengtian Chengde, the emperor urgently called. The queen mother was seriously ill and looked for Princess Oude, with a lotus birthmark on her back. Those who get the news, the bounty is a thousand taels, and the fake, the strain. ”

It's okay to reward a thousand taels, but isn't this one ruthless? But on the other hand, if you don't know it with full certainty, no one will dare to invite you...... Really, just right.

"I heard that less than three days after the Queen Mother gave birth to Princess Oude, the princess was taken captive by thieves. More than ten years have passed, and now I am looking for it, where can I find it! ”

"Alas, it would be a good life if I could really find that child, but I don't know if he is still alive." My mother also sighed when she heard this.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"

……

They said a few more words, and my mother began to feel sleepy, and fell asleep with her head on her head. I'm not sleepy, looking at the wilderness outside the window, thinking about her good life, I still haven't figured it out after thinking about it, and I can't help but sigh: It's really stupid.

Three months later, when the entanglement was about to run out, the legendary capital finally arrived!

When I saw this city gate, I realized that what I had seen was not a city gate. On the high city wall, there were several yellow flags embroidered with golden dragons, and next to the flags, there were several soldiers.

There were three gates under the walls, one large and two small, each of which was guarded by soldiers.

"Don't look at it, it's going to be dark again, and now it's entangled, you have to find your uncle quickly." My mother picked me up and left. But I couldn't take my eyes off, and sure enough...... Bustling! Even at night, the streets are still bustling with people.

Three very watery girls are playing the piano in the pavilion, the sugar gourd seller is handing a string of rock sugar gourds to a little girl, and a restaurant called Yazhiguan is holding a poetry competition...... These are things that you can't see in Flowerless Town.

"Su Fu, that's right, this is it." I retracted my gaze and saw my mother straightening her clothes and walking to a gate with the words "Sufu" written on the top of the door.

"Big brother, can you help me call Yuan Fuzhi, I'm his sister." My mother walked up to an errand boy and asked. The errand boy glanced at my mother and me behind him, and shook his head: "I haven't heard of this person." ”

"How is that possible? That's where he used to be. "My mother is getting anxious.

"I really don't know."

"Yes, there is really no such person here, auntie, are you misremembering, this is Su Mansion." Another errand man couldn't help but speak.

"That's right, I'm looking for Sufu, I'm ......" My mother was about to say something, but at this moment, the door opened, and a man in his fifties and sixties came out.

"Steward Su, this person is coming to Su Mansion to find someone." As soon as the errand saw the comer, he said respectfully.

My mother seemed to grasp a straw, "Yes, yes, I want to find someone named Yuan Fuzhi, I am his sister, he used to work here on an errand." ”

The housekeeper glanced at my mother and muttered for a while, "There is indeed a person named Yuan Fuzhi, but it's just ......."

"Just what?" My mother is in a hurry.

"Five years ago, there was indeed a man named Yuan Fuzhi, but when he was escorting the old man, he was killed by a bandit." He shook his head and sighed, "You better go back." So saying, he walked away.

"Mother." I took my mother's hand and shouted softly. I suddenly wanted to cry, I don't know if it was for my dream meat bun or my legendary uncle.

"My mother is a broom star, my husband is gone, and now I don't even have my only relative......"

"No, my mother is not, mother, you still have a problem, you still have a problem, woo." I put my arms around my mother and cried, I was scared of the way she was now.

My mother didn't seem to see me, but tears came out of my godless eyes.

"Mother, don't cry, don't cry......"

"My mother didn't cry...... It's just, it's just, if I knew this was the case, I should have come to see him a few more times, and it's good to come and see him once. ”

"Mother......" I didn't know what to say, so I just hugged her tightly and sat by the wall of Su Mansion. At this time, there was no daylight, and the corner of the wall was so dark that the cold air was rising from the body.

The two officers looked at us with compassion and did not speak.

As the night gets darker, it gets colder.

I hugged my mother tightly, and my mother hadn't spoken since just now, just stared at the ground, but there was nothing on the ground.

"Why are you still here?"

I looked up in a daze, it was that Steward Su!

Rubbing his eyes, he resisted the urge to cry, "We came from far away, and now we don't have the money to go back." "Don't even go back, you can't even buy a cake for money.

He was silent for a long time, and then sighed, "Okay, you guys come with me first, and I'll explain it to Master Su when I go back." ”

I looked at him in disbelief, he was going to take us in? I originally thought that he would give a few copper plates, but I didn't expect ...... That Rong Ma suddenly popped up in my mind, and I couldn't help but hesitate, could it be another trap.

"Are you going to sell me?"

The eyes with a few wrinkles in front of him were stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Haha, girl, how can you have the energy to be a bad person at this age, come in, don't freeze." He said and walked ahead on his own.

The housekeeper is in charge of money, how can he be short of money. I reacted, "Thank you, uncle!" Thank you, uncle! "Pick up my mother and hurry up.

Along the way, my mother let me pull me, didn't say anything, didn't know what she was thinking, probably not yet pulled out of her grief. And I, without heart or lungs, get better quickly.

Sufu is very large, much more than the home under the flower, and it is much better-looking, there are rockeries, there is water, and even the next person will pass by one in a while.

"Hello Steward Su."

"Hello Steward Su."

Along the way, there were respectful greetings from the subordinates, and it seemed that this Steward Su was not simple.

"You are also from the Su family?" Since his surname is Su, he must have some connection with Su Mansion.

"No, this surname was given to me by Master Su." He paused, as if recalling something, "When I was a child, my family was poor, and after my father and mother died, I had to go to the street to beg. ”

I nodded, and I couldn't help but admire him. Although he said it lightly, I think it must be a difficult story.

"Here we are."

This, it's a ...... Lots of women's yards!

I was a little dumbfounded, the first time I saw so many women talking and laughing together.

"It's quiet! If you don't sleep, will you still work tomorrow? Steward Su changed his kind tone just now and said solemnly: "Let's go to sleep!" ”

I stared blankly at the crowd that dispersed, and admired the old butler so much that I wanted to drop my eyes.

He led us into a room, which was not big, but exceptionally clean. "This place was originally the maid's house, but now there is a vacant room, so you can live here for the time being."

"Thank you, Steward Su." I said to him gratefully. For me, it's enough to have a sheltered place. But just when Steward Su was about to leave, my mother, who had not spoken, knelt down with a "plop" sound-

"Steward Su, thank you...... We will definitely repay your great kindness. "It turns out that my mother has always been sober.

This sudden sound not only frightened me, but I am afraid that Steward Su was also very frightened.

Steward Su reacted and hurriedly pulled my mother up, "This is all human nature, your brother has also helped Su Fu so much, it is deserved, it is deserved." ”

"Want, get." My mother wiped her eyes.

In this interval, I wonder if Lord Nasu will allow us to stay here, and someone with such a kind heart will definitely agree.
