Chapter 5 Go to the city to find my brother
Hua Changting didn't survive, and finally left after a year.
Before leaving, Hua Changting, who couldn't speak, dipped his fingers in ink and wrote on the paper, "Get the book and jade back." ”
This is Hua Changting's last advice.
The villagers all said that Hua Changting should still be unable to let go of Qin Shuyu's failure, so that he left in depression, and he often enlightened him this year, and there was always hope for the exam every three years, but he shook his head tiredly every time, Hua Changting has always been very open-minded and open-minded, and he has never been a narrow-minded person, but why is he so obsessed with Qin Shuyu's failure this time, and he can't even look away when he leaves?
Qin Shuyu didn't rush back, and when Youwen went to Ningyang City to look for him, the servants in the mansion told him that Qin Shuyu was not in the mansion and had been doing things elsewhere for half a month.
Everyone put down their farm work, and helped Hua Cry to do the funeral for Hua Changting, the original good weather was also more gloomy that day, Hua Wai cried heartbreakingly, and the sudden drizzle could not wash away half of her inner grief, but added desolation, Hua Changting was only more than forty years old, kind and virtuous, and good neighborliness, but did not end well, his short life was spent in a simple and plain life, but it didn't seem to be much of a hurdle, he couldn't step over, at this moment Hua Wai suddenly had another idea in his heart, Her father was not only depressed because of the township test a year ago, she wanted to know that on August 20 last year, that is, two days after Qin Shuyu failed to go home, what did her father do in Ningyang City alone, and why did he fall ill when he came back?
That night Hua Weeping had a very long dream, and in the dream she saw a river, flowing with yellow and muddy water, and on that bank, full of red flowers, very beautiful, and her father stood there, and said to her, he had seen his mother, and they would never be separated again.
......
Youwen and Junshan waited outside the fence gate early in the morning, and Hua Weeping cleaned up the house for a while before coming out.
"Let's go, fifty miles, I don't know if I can get there at noon." Hua said as she walked.
Youwen and Junshan nodded and followed, they were going to Ningyang City today to find Qin Shuyu back, Hua Wai said that this was her father's advice, only Youwen knew how to go to the mansion, so he pulled Junshan to accompany Hua Wai into the city.
A few people walked quickly, and they entered the city at noon, Youwen led the way in front, and the south gate entered Nancheng Street, they were going to Beicheng, which was connected to Dongcheng, and Qin Shuyu was working in a mansion on Beicheng Street.
"I'll tell you, Shuyu is easy to find, although the nobles' mansions are almost the same, but the place we are going to is different from other mansions." Youwen is a clever head, he has been there before, and he learns to show off.
"What's the difference, aren't they all high-walled compounds?" Junshan, who is always slow and half-beat, is also a little curious.
"His noble mansion, there are two Pixiu in front of the door, and the entire Ningyang City is the only one there."
"What is Pixiu, aren't there tigers and lions in front of the nobles?"
"Pixiu, you haven't seen it, and I can't tell what it looks like. Fart. Share. ”
"Big. Fart. How ugly the stock is, it's not as good as a tiger! ”
"What's so hard or not ugly, it's identity, you know? Reading to the belly of the dog! ”
"As far as you know, Mr. Ming Ming said that there are lions in front of the nobles, and according to the curly mane on the lion's head, there are at most thirteen, below the first rank official, and one less curly mane at the lower level, that big. Fart. What is the identity of the stock?. ”
"Uh...... Pixiu does not have a curly mane. ”
"Keep blowing?"
"Energetic? That's the Hou Mansion, under the rule of a hundred miles, our Taoyuan Village is still under the jurisdiction of others! ”
"How many products is Hou? Isn't it also graded? Don't show a lion's mane, use a big mane. Fart. What does it mean to share shares? ”
"Then I don't know, anyway, the gate of the Hou Mansion is different."
Hua Weeping didn't say a word and listened to their arguments, calling him a prince and uncle, and he couldn't fight with himself, a grass people.
Coming to the front of the house, looking at the tall and magnificent roof ridge and the jade steps of Zhumen, Hua Cry seemed to feel that this place was a little familiar, thinking carefully, it turned out that Qin Shuyu was sent to the township to test last year, and when she and her father returned, the two passed by a mansion, and at that time my father stopped to take a look.
There are indeed two stone beasts in front of the door, which should be carved by Ugin stone, this is what Youwen said about Pixiu, not wrong at all, fart. The shares are really big!
Youwen stepped forward and knocked on the door, an old servant poked out and asked who he was looking for, Youwen said that he was looking for Mr. Qin, the old servant seemed to be a little surprised, and Mr. Qin didn't come back from his errands, and he planned to close the door if he came back another day.
Youwen and Junshan hurriedly squeezed half of their legs into it, not letting the old servant close the door, and had to ask the old servant to tell where Qin Shuyu was doing business, they had to go over to find it, but the old servant had no choice but to say that he didn't know, this was all ordered by the master, how could a subordinate like him know about the door? Taking advantage of the gap between Youwen and Junshan's reaction, he closed the door tightly with a "clang".
Hua Weeping was stunned at the bottom of the stairs and watched the two of them banging on the door desperately, ......? Something is wrong, and I can't tell where it is. Youwen and Junshan didn't open the door for a long time, so they had to give up for the time being, and the three of them found a place to sit down on the side, discussing what to do next, they can't just sit here and wait, right?
It just happened that he was hungry, Youwen said that he would find a small shop to eat a bowl of noodles, and the noodle money was still there, and the silver sent back by Qin Shuyu more than a year ago, in addition to treating Hua Changting and returning some to the uncle in the village, there were still more than two taels left, which was enough for her expenses at home for a year or two, but it was not easy to say in the city, five coppers and a bowl of noodles, and I don't know how the people in the city lived.
Hua Wai felt sorry for the money, but she still had to eat, Youwen and Junshan accompanied her to find Qin Shuyu, they couldn't let them wait here hungry, they had always done farm work at home, there was no way to get money, and the three of them counted Hua Cry and had some money.
Not far away, they found a dirty small restaurant, and the three of them went back to the restaurant for the first time, and Junshan also touched a few other people's chopstick holders.
Three bowls of noodles were served, it was plain noodles, there was no oil star at all, and there were five coppers, but the three of them didn't know how to dislike it, they only knew that it was an extremely rare delicacy, and they all ate it in a big gulp, Youwen and Junshan quickly ate up a bowl of noodles, seeing that they were definitely not full, Hua weeping and shouting that the guy wanted two more bowls, and also asked for a plate and a half catty of beef, Youwen and Junshan's eyes were full of essence.
The three of them ate very comfortably, and there was a sudden noise on the side of the street, and looking out from the door, a team of black-clothed men and horses roared over, and kicked over a few baskets selling melons on the side, and the old farmer cried and cursed quietly while picking up.
Youwen couldn't stand it either, and whispered: "I don't know what those people are doing, they're really not people!" ”
The guy passed by with the plate and said, "Well, it's a wonder in the world that you won't do evil one day." After asking for a plate of beef, the guy obviously became enthusiastic, and leaned closer and whispered: "Those people ran over too fast, you probably didn't see clearly, the one in white in front of him is the eldest son of Xuanyanghou, that is a complete gentleman, if you meet far away, don't blame me for not reminding." ”
The three of them nodded as if they were pecking rice, Hua Xi put down his chopsticks thoughtfully, looked up and asked, "The Xuanyang Hou you are talking about, but the Hou Ye of the Xuanyang Hou Mansion who turned this street near the North City?" ”
"Yes, yes, you know, don't go to that place!" The guy is busy again.
Hua Weeping quickly counted enough copper and slapped it on the table: "Don't eat, go, hurry!" ”
