Chapter 54: The Orphan of the First Prince
A few rabbits came out of the bushes in the back mountain, and disappeared in Shu Yan's gaze.
Chen Yunzhong looked away, but saw Yu'an and Xiaoyu'er playing in the house.
He scratched his head and raised an eyebrow: "When you quarreled with your father, I was still young, and I only remember that you were holding a knife and were going to kill him. ”
When Shu Yan heard this, she immediately turned around and clapped her hands, she staggered up the steps of the door, and glanced at her son who was still standing in place.
"It's like my style, it's just too lazy to pursue it."
In the east of Sui County, in the middle of the night.
At the corner of the two houses, the bluestone slabs on the ground are quite neatly paved, and the moonlight shines a hazy light on them.
A tall man dressed in black was hidden in the darkness, and he seemed to be waiting for something.
There was a sound of beating from afar, followed by the footsteps of the watchman from far and near.
The man's hand rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and as soon as the watchman walked here, he was dragged into the shadows.
Only one or two muffled grunts were heard, and the watchman was thrown to the ground.
The man came out of the shadows, revealing a handsome face, it was Cheng San.
Cheng San quickly stripped off the clothes of the watchman, and then said to Bai Guichen behind him: "You put it on, in a quarter of an hour, you go downstairs to Tianxiang Building, and I will send the news out when the time comes." ”
Bai Guichen nodded, and quickly changed into the clothes of the watchman.
"I just saw you with a knife, and I thought you were going to kill someone."
Cheng San brushed his hair, ignored Bai Guichen, and walked in the direction of Tianxianglou by himself.
"Knives aren't meant to kill."
After Cheng San finished saying this, the shadow had disappeared in front of Bai Guichen's eyes.
Bai Guichen bent down to pick up the things that fell on the ground, as if remembering something, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the arms of the watchman.
"Ding"
The sound of the third watch, Cheng Sanren had already arrived at the Tianxiang downstairs, he looked up and saw that there were many red silks hanging on the small building on the second floor, swaggering back and forth in the night breeze.
When Xiao Er'er saw Cheng San outside the door, he immediately had a smile on his face, and bowed his waist to invite Cheng San in.
"Childe, Master Huang is already waiting for you upstairs."
Cheng San followed Xiao Er'er upstairs all the way, only to see a middle-aged scribe in a yellow brocade robe standing outside a box.
The middle-aged scribe was holding a fan in his hand, and when he saw Cheng San coming, he immediately smiled and introduced Cheng San into the door.
In addition to the scribe in the box, there was also an old woman who seemed to have been burned by fire.
Those eyes were extremely sharp, and after seeing Cheng San, he raised his hand slightly.
The servant closed the door.
"The person is on the Vulture Mountain, I don't know what is the matter with these old women looking for her."
Cheng San sat down, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked at the two of them.
The half-faced old woman smiled slightly.
lowered his head slightly, revealing the white eyes of the lower three, but Cheng San was a little wary in his heart.
The half-faced old woman said: "Naturally, it is an important matter, according to the original agreement, you should take her with you when you go down the mountain this time." ”
Cheng San was slightly stunned, and he played with the beads in his hand.
"Su Hu is also on the mountain, I can't do it."
The middle-aged scribe on the side said, "Could it be that you also received his money?" ”
Cheng San put the beads in his hand on the table, and the candle flame in the box shook slightly.
"Su Hu doesn't have any money, I'm just curious, what secrets are there in this old woman?"
The half-faced old woman stood up from her position, and she went to the window and opened it.
"If you really want to know, you have to promise to do things for me and be my godson."
Cheng San's three legs were crossed and his legs were crossed, and he glanced at the half-faced old woman.
"My godmother promised me to go to the northwest and let me eat and drink spicy food, what about you?"
The half-faced old woman smiled, and those gloomy eyes were afraid to see people.
"I promised you the wealth of the sky, I can't help but tell you that the old woman is the old lady of the Chen family in Jiangnan, and she knows the news of the orphan of the former prince."
Cheng Sanmo's hand holding the beads suddenly stopped, and he stood up and walked to the half-faced old woman.
If you look closely, you can see that Cheng San's hand seems to be rubbing the beads hard.
Cheng San walked directly to the half-faced old woman and knelt down with a smile.
"Son Cheng San, meet your mother."
The old woman in the middle of the mountain helped the person up with a smile, and Cheng San took advantage of the two of them not paying attention and bulleted the bead downstairs.
The next moment, the sound of the watchman striking the gong sounded.
The old woman in the middle of the mountain looked downstairs, and the middle-aged scribe hurriedly said, "Mother don't worry, someone has been sent to guard it." ”
Cheng San looked at the middle-aged scribe.
"Now my brother is a family, but I don't know my brother's name, and I ask my brother to tell me."
The middle-aged scribe smiled slightly, reached out and stroked his mustache.
"Huang Rengui, it's good for my brother to call me brother."
Bai Guichen walked for a long time before he stopped, picked up the glimmering beads in his hand, and carefully rubbed them for a moment, and his face was shocked.
Cheng San drew five words with his fingernails on it, the first prince was orphaned.
Vulture Mountain, the sky has just been bright, Shu Yan opened his eyes and saw Bai Guichen with a dusty face, this kid frowned, there was sweat on his face, obviously he had been on the road all night.
Shu Yan's voice still carried these confusions.
"What about Cheng San?"
Bai Guichen looked around, and he said to Shu Yan: "Go to the Qinglou." ”
Shu Yan suddenly sobered up, and she followed Bai Guichen to the backyard.
Bai Guichen looked around and made sure that there was no one around, before he said to Shu Yan: "Do you know who is the orphan of the first prince?" ”
Shu Yan was suddenly shocked, what is this.
Bai Guichen told Shu Yan about the matter in detail, Shu Yan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and she thought carefully for a moment.
"You can't talk nonsense about this matter, what about Cheng San, when will he come back."
Bai Guichen smiled helplessly.
"I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."
"Then the orphan of the first prince, how old is it?"
Bai Guichen's eyes were deep, and his eyes were tentative.
"Seven years old."
At this time, Yu'an, who had just woken up, came down from upstairs, and when he saw his grandmother, he immediately ran over with Jiaojiao.
"Grandma, why did you wake up so early today, I learned a lot from Grandpa Su yesterday."
Shu Yan looked at Yu'an with a worried face, she reached out and touched the child's head, and asked quietly, "Then did he ask about your father?" ”
Yu An looked at Shu Yan with wide eyes, the child was immature, how innocent.
"Grandma, why are you suddenly asking that? Didn't you say my dad was already dead? “
Shu Yan took a deep breath, she squatted down and hugged Yu'an in her arms.
"Your father is gone, and you still have grandma."
Yu'an buried his head in Shu Yan's body.
"Grandma, Yu'an must be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, and I will honor you well."
