Huai'an tugged at his father's clothes and said hurriedly: "Dad, that person is a kidnapper!" ”

"It's okay." Shen Yu hugged his son, lowered his voice and said to him: "Those two followers are the tolerance of Shuntianfu. ”

Huai'an suddenly realized that they were tolerances, so the middle-aged man in front of him should be Cao Zhifu!

Scared, it's really nice to see that the traffickers have met the mayor of the capital!

It is really difficult for parents and officials in the capital to be a child, with a lot of "mothers-in-law" at the top, a lot of "concubines" in the middle, and a lot of "rebels" below......

Governor Cao is still persuading everyone to disperse, and everyone still thinks that this man is sick - but since there is no more excitement to see, they will all disperse slowly.

Shen Xie and the others only saluted Cao Zhifu at this time, and called them "Mansion Zun".

Cao Zhifu saw Shen Yu during disaster relief a few years ago, and he was very impressed, and he was not surprised to meet him on the street at this time.

"Ling Lang is bold and careful, brave and strategic." Governor Cao said with a smile.

"Sister Xie saw it first!" Huai'an said busily.

Cao Zhifu touched Huai'an's head, then looked at Xie Yun, and praised: "Bingxue is smart at a young age, and Bachelor Xie has a daughter like this, which is really enviable to us." ”

Xie Yankai humbly praised it, took his daughter's hand, and couldn't hide his smug smile.

In front of the Cao Governor's Mansion, the two fathers are a faction of "everyone is responsible for maintaining public order", and the Cao Governor's Mansion left on the front foot, and the expressions of the two were comparable to the Sichuan Opera changing faces.

It's not good to have peace of mind. Sure enough, the two bachelors have been instilling in their children the importance of protecting themselves all the way.

When she got home, Sister Peng lay on her father's shoulder, yawned and said: "Parents who suffer from the body, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall......"

Huai'an sighed, God knows how many times they read it, Sister Peng will memorize it!

Chapter 79

This year, the palace saved money, and there were no more eunuchs setting off fireworks in the open space in front of Dong'an Gate. After watching the Aoshan lanterns, the people couldn't wait for the brilliant fireworks in the sky, only the short and weak colored beads released by the shops along the street.

In this regard, the people of the capital, who were accustomed to the carnival of fire trees and silver flowers all night during the Shangyuan Festival, suddenly withered, and just after the hour, half of the people in the lamp market were missing.

Sister Peng was already drowsy, and the two families were exhausted, so they went home early together.

Under the superimposed spell of Daddy and Uncle Xie, Huai'an always felt that he had forgotten something, but he had always been very forgetful and was not too anxious, and he couldn't remember it in a hurry anyway......

King Qi said today that he would accompany his son, and began to visit the temple fair in the afternoon, and came to the bustling lamp market when it was about to dark, and after seeing the Aoshan lantern, he came to the moat outside the Donghua Gate.

The night breeze was still cool, but there were still people moving by the river.

Thousands of river lanterns float and sway on the river, and the stars converge into a galaxy-like light strip.

Rong He sat by the river wrapped in a cloak with a silver rat skin collar, People who have visited the Lantern Festival Lantern Market often come to put river lanterns, and he and Huai'an discussed a "chance encounter" here, but this guy obviously didn't know what was wrong......

For his friend's unreliability, Rong He has become accustomed to it, so he plans to look at the river lantern for a while and leave.

King Qi stood not far from him, and the guards pretending to be ordinary people stepped forward and asked, "Master, there are many people here, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time." ”

King Qi said: "Wait a little longer. ”

After a while, he saw a little girl squatting on the side of the road and tying a river lamp, two pennies a lamp, with different styles.

King Qi personally stepped forward, picked out two lamps, one large and one small, and ordered his entourage to pay.

He also asked the guards to take the lamps for the fire, and ordered everyone to stay where they were and wait, so he stepped forward and walked to his son, lit the two lotus-shaped river lamps in turn, and gently lowered them on the surface of the river, and pushed them away.

The big river lantern is in front, and the small river lantern is close behind, swaying, gradually drifting away, and gathering together with the "Milky Way".

River lanterns are a magical thing. They carry the thoughts of the deceased, drifting to the unknown distance, the light leaves comfort to the living, guides the direction of the dead, and carries the hope of reunion in the sadness.

Rong He stared at the river in a daze, leaning on his father's not too solid, but very warm shoulder.

……

The next day, Huai'an went to the palace early in the morning and was violently reprimanded by Rong He.

He knew that he was at a loss, and said with a smile: "Yesterday we met a kidnapper on the street, and used the kidnapping child to touch porcelain, and the child was pitiful, and was almost crushed by the carriage. ”

Rong He didn't go through much of it, and when he heard it, he was shocked and said, "There is still such a thing? And finally? Did anyone catch it? ”

Huai'an didn't know, so he only said that he would go back and inquire about the follow-up.

The two gathered the money together, set up a small ledger, and began to make a budget and plan for the children's bookstore.

……

The sun was setting in the west, Shen Yu came back from outside, and as soon as he changed into his home clothes, Huai'an came to his father's house with a plate of cut melons, and moved a small bench to sit in it.

While eating melons, he asked, "Dad, did that person catch him yesterday?!" ”

Shen Yu said: "I caught it, I touched the melon along the vine, and I got rid of a den in one fell swoop." ”

Yesterday they followed the woman into a nameless alley, and there was only one courtyard gate at the end of the alley, and they kicked the door and rushed in, and found that in addition to the child who was almost hit by the carriage, there was also a sick and skinny girl lying on the bed.

Under Miki, a man and a woman confessed on the spot, they were actually homeless people, and they were able to stay in the city by forging a road guide. Some of these children were stolen on the road, and some were deceived from homeless people, and they were used to beg, touch porcelain, and abduct them along the way, and the two of them had a good life.

On the Shangyuan Festival, the powerful and wealthy in Beijing will go to the lamp market, and the two of them together can't miss this good opportunity to make a fortune. Men take older children to beg, women take small children to touch porcelain, who knows that they run into the carriage of the prefect of Suncheon.

Those who have parents look for their parents, and those who can't find their parents are sent to the Salesian Bureau, and those over the age of ten are sent to the Salesian Bureau, and those over the age of ten are ordered to share the burden with the officials of the Yazhong Zuo Er, and take them home for the time being, give them some work and food, it is better than freezing to death and starving to death outside.

"It's so hateful!" Huai'an gritted his teeth: "Human traffickers should be cut with a thousand knives!" ”

Xu Tinglan said: "Yes, it doesn't matter whether it is a poor family or a rich family, children are the eyes of their parents, how anxious they should be if they lose it!" ”

Shen Yu glared at Huai'an: "Did you hear that?" In the future, if you run around again, you will be abducted and sold by human traffickers, and you will never see your father and mother again! ”

Huai'an didn't expect this topic to come to him again, holding the melon and planning to slip away.

grabbed his father by the neck and carried it back, he smiled and said, "Dad, I'm eight years old!" Who would kidnap such an old child? ”

Shen Yu made a straight face: "Traffickers don't care if you are eight or eighteen years old, that is, thirty or forty years old, and there are many people who have been abducted and trafficked." ”

If you don't believe it, you can take a look at Shen Shou, who was sold to Xishan to dig coal for murdering Huai'an, how life is worse than death.

"You can't stare at me until I'm thirty or forty, can you?" Huai'an said: "You were also fifty or sixty years old at that time, and you began to lose your teeth, and you have to worry about your son being abducted and trafficked, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes when you say it......"

"I'll tell you, you have ten words waiting to talk back to me!" Shen Yu rolled up his sleeves and copied the guy, but this kid was premeditated, sneaked out of the door in advance, and fled with the melon in his arms.

Xu Tinglan pursed his eyebrows and sighed: "If he doesn't sell the traffickers, he will be considered an ancestor to accumulate virtue." ”

……

The opening of the ready-to-wear shop was far more low-key than Huai'an imagined, and even his father and mother never showed up, all of which were taken care of by his family and shopkeeper.

After all, Shen Yuren is in the officialdom, and many of his family's businesses still have to be in the name of his family, so as not to give people a handle and affect Shilin's reputation.

Huai'an's bookstore in his hometown is the same, and now if he wants to open a bookstore in the capital, he needs to be even more low-key, after all, he is a scholar - sort of, turning into a businessman has an impact on his academic reputation.

Although he scoffed at the current social environment that discriminated against businessmen, there was no way, under the roof, he could not care about his reputation, but he had to care about his father.

He is a man who aspires to be an old man.

Therefore, the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Huai'an's fantasy can't be done. For this reason, he also deliberately gave himself a vest number, ready to use it when he was "walking the rivers and lakes" outside, and his name was Xu Sanduo.

Xu is naturally the surname of his mother, and Sanduo means talented, capable, and golden!

Shen Yu was speechless about this, recalling that it was painstaking to name his two sons back then:

The inscription praises the beauty of its ancestors and the future generations. So the eldest son was named Huaiming.

Giving it together is peace. Good and indisputable. So the second son was named Huai'an.

Now this rebel wants to name himself...... Xu Sanduo?

Huai'an asked excitedly, "How is it, Dad?" Actually, I'm still very talented, but I don't show it easily. ”

Shen Yu put down his pen and beckoned to him: "Come, you come here." ”

Huai'an felt a chill on the back of his neck, and ran in the opposite direction.

The two men chased in the yard, and Huai'an reasoned while running: "You are a broad-minded person, and you want to embrace all rivers and rivers, and ...... all-encompassing"

Before the word "elephant" came out, he was caught by his father.

Shen Yu held his ears and gritted his teeth: "You are getting more and more outrageous, just split the ancestral tablet and use it as firewood another day?" ”

"Why am I burning the tablet? They didn't mess with me. Just open a vest number! Walking the trumpet. ”

Huaiming came in with the article, and saw his younger brother grinning and justifying what the vest number was.

When Shen Yu saw that his eldest son was coming, he didn't bother to listen to Huai'an's nonsense, let go of his hand, neatly dressed in messy clothes, and strode into the house.

"Come here, too." This was said to Huai'an.

Huai'an rubbed his reddened ears and followed behind with a frown.

Whenever Shen Yu calls him like this, he must ask him to endorse it, and ask questions while discussing the article with his eldest brother, the difficulty depends on what kind of allusions and sage words are cited in the article.

"It's really a fairy fight, and the little ghost suffers......" Huai An cried sadly in his heart.

"What did you say?" Shen Yu asked.

"Nothing, nothing!" Huai'an hurriedly put on a cute smiling face, just begging not to be abused too badly.

……

Father-in-law Liu came forward and really found a poorly run bookstore in Haojia Hutong in the south of the city, and the price was extremely low.

Huai'an was worried that there would be a pit, so he took advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival vacation and went to the scene with Rong He to see it in person.

Getting off the carriage, both of them were stunned, although they were mentally prepared when they came, they didn't expect that it would be so dilapidated!

The guards took the first step and pushed open the decaying and dilapidated courtyard door, who knew that the martial arts practitioners were very powerful, only to hear a "bang", a courtyard door fell down with a bang, rolling up dust.

The other hung from the door frame with rusty hinges, crunching and crumbling.

The guards were so sneering that they didn't dare to touch it again.

The group went into the yard and saw a lack of bricks and tiles, and remnants of leaves everywhere.

The two pampered little boys covered their mouths and noses and coughed a few times.

"Has this yard been bombarded?" Looking at the crooked courtyard wall, the playboy asked.

The tooth man smiled and said, "At least it's still very spacious, and it can be used if you repair it." ”
