Chapter 7: Searching for the Person
Zhu Yu hurriedly took a leaf of chestnut from the pot.
"Uncle Ouyang, can you taste it, is the heat enough?"
Looking at the leaves handed to me, a handful of chestnuts that have just come out of the pot are placed on it, and they are steaming. Ouyang Qing's old face turned even redder, whether the heat was enough or not, it was just an excuse for the little girl to take care of his face.
"Miss Zhu, I'm smiling!" Ouyang Qing took it with a red face, he wanted to refuse, but the fragrance of chestnuts drilled into his nose one by one.
The chestnut shell is cracked open by heat, and the flesh inside is exposed with a slight bite of the teeth.
Ouyang Qing sniffed it carefully, there was indeed a faint medicinal fragrance, and he threw one into his mouth, Ouyang Qing was immediately attracted by the smell of chestnuts.
It's soft and glutinous, and the heat is just right.
One by one, Ouyang Qing was intoxicated with the rare chestnuts. After eating too much, I realized that something was wrong.
After sitting in a carriage for several days, even if it was an official road, the road was not smooth. Originally, he was sore and exhausted, but after eating this chestnut, he obviously felt like taking a hot bath, and the fatigue and soreness in his body were eliminated a lot. The whole person's spirits were lifted.
This chestnut is also a rare thing, Ouyang Qing glanced at the chestnut shells on the ground, he was really embarrassed. Without paying attention, he actually ate so much.
"Zhu girl, this is your subordinate. Ouyang Qing took out a bag of silver taels and handed it to Zhu Yu, "Your chestnuts are not only delicious, but eating them can actually eliminate fatigue." Although the effect of this is a little worse than that of the first-order spiritual diet, it is no longer an ordinary meal. How can the old man and the others eat for nothing? These silver taels ......"
Zhu Yu pushed back Yinliang, "Uncle Ouyang, you are too polite. I also picked this chestnut from the back, and it is worthless. What's more, Cai Zhi and I are friends, how can I collect money from you?"
"This ...... Since this is the case, the old man is better than respectful. Ouyang Qing was still a little embarrassed, and then thought that this official road was the only way to go to Yinzhou, and this Zhu Yu was going to Yinzhou nine times out of ten, "I wish the girl to go to Yinzhou City?
Ouyang Qing saw that Zhu Yu was full of doubts, and explained with a smile: "I am not satisfied with Miss Zhu, I have had such a girl as Caizhi in my life, and it is the first time I have seen her so compatible with her peers."
If Miss Zhu doesn't mind, I will invite Miss Zhu to live in the house for one or two, so that the little girl can do her best as a landlord. I don't know what I want the girl?"
Hearing Ouyang Qing's words, Ouyang Caizhi's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhu Yu expectantly, "Sister Zhu?"
To be honest, Zhu Yu was a little moved. Growing so big, Ouyang Caizhi is still the second friend she made. The two little girls hit it off at first sight, and there were endless topics to talk about, and it was the hot time offline. It's just like that, and I don't know when I'll have the chance to meet.
But thinking of the purpose of going to Yinzhou City this time, Zhu Yu thought about it and refused, and said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Ouyang for your kindness, but I went to Yinzhou this time, in fact, I went to my father." When I find my father, I'll go to Caizhi again. ”
"Okay then!" Ouyang Caizhi was a little disappointed, but she was also happy for Zhu Yu, "Then when Sister Zhu finds her uncle, she must come to me!"
Zhu Yu touched Caizhi's head and promised, "Definitely!"
The night faded and the morning glow filled the sky.
Zhu Yu, who had been trimming all night, specially changed into a clean and unpatched dress, which was changed by Sun Yueyue's mother with Sun Yueyue's clothes. After Zhu Yu put it on, he finally had a little girl's figure.
Yinzhou City.
Among the twelve continents in the world, Yinzhou is the fifth continent, and compared to Wanfu Town, there are mortals, and there are already monks here.
Three months later, it is the ten-year ascension conference, the children who come to participate in the ladder of immortals, the mortals who watch the excitement, the people who come from the south to the north to do business, and people from all over the world gather in Yinzhou City, which is very lively.
Zhu Yu sat in the carriage, dazzled.
The tall and majestic city walls, the rows of houses, the pedestrians, the criss-crossing streets, and the traffic is busy.
Zhu Yu sat in the carriage and sighed: "Sure enough, it's Fucheng, it's different, it's really lively here!" There are more people than the Lantern Festival in Wanfu Town.
"Of course, our Yinzhou is among the twelve continents in the world, but it can be ranked among the top five continents. Ouyang Caizhi proudly leaned to Zhu Yu's side, pointed to a tall building in the distance and said, "Sister Zhu, look there! That is the most famous thing in Yinzhou is 'Feiyanzhai', I like to eat his cakes the most." I wish my sister, next time you come to me, I will invite you to eat!"
Looking at Ouyang Caizhi's drooling appearance while talking, Zhu Yu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Carriages and horses drove down the streets into the city.
"Sister Zhu, which direction is Uncle Zhu in Yinzhou City? ”
Zhu Yu: "Caizhi, do you know the Longwei Dart Bureau? My father is the dart head of the Longwei Dart Bureau. ”
"Of course the Longwei Dart Bureau knows, but where is Sister Zhu's father in the Longwei Dart Bureau?" asked Ouyang Caizhi with his chin under his club.
"Which Longwei Dart Bureau?" Zhu Yu's face was full of question marks, could it be that there are still two Longwei Dart Bureaus?
Seeing Zhu Yu's question, Ouyang Caizhi sneered: "Sister Zhu, you must be thinking about whether there are still two Longwei dart games." ”
"Is it possible that there are really two that can't do it?" Zhu Yu said in surprise.
Ouyang Qing looked at Ouyang Caizhi's mischievous appearance and shook her head dotingly, "You girl, don't sell it." Miss Zhu is right, this Yinzhou, there are indeed two Longwei dart bureaus. One is called "Longwei Dart Bureau" in the east of the city, and "Wei" takes the meaning of majesty. The other is also called 'Longwei Dart Bureau', in the west of the city, 'Wei' takes the meaning of the mountains and mountains. Where is the girl's father?"
Zhu Yu was dumbfounded, she only knew that her father was in the Longwei dart game, but she didn't know that there were actually two of them, "This ....... I don't know. Actually, my dad has been out and about all these years, and every time he asks someone to send something back, so ......"
"My Ouyang family has been practicing medicine for generations, and the relationship with the dart game is quite close. If it is convenient for the girl, can you tell Ling Zun's name?"
"My father's name is Nantian, and his name is Zhu Nantian. ”
"Zhu Nantian?" Ouyang Qing pondered for a long time, and pulled the dart heads of these two dart bureaus in his mind, and he didn't remember which dart head was called Zhu Nantian, "Miss Zhu, my Ouyang family has been in the medicinal herb business for generations, and I often deal with the dart bureau." I am familiar with the dart heads of these two dart games, but I have never heard of your father's name, not even the surname Zhu. ”
".....There is no surname Zhu? How can this be?" Zhu Yu was a little anxious, pulled his burden, pointed to a twin lotus in the lower right corner, and said conclusively: "Uncle Ouyang, look! It's this kind of burden, every year my father will send me something from the dart board, and my father used this burden to send me something three years ago." ”
"This sign sounds familiar. Ouyang Qing rubbed his burden and racked his brains to finally remember, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the unique lotus symbol of the Longwei Dart Bureau." To be precise, it should be the mark of the Longwei Dart Game five years ago. ”
Ouyang Qing asked Steward Wang to bring a burden, pointed to the pattern on it and said, "Now the packages of the Longwei Dart Bureau are all with this lotus symbol. ”
Zhu Yu took advantage of the firelight to clearly see that there was only one blooming lotus flower on the baggage.
"In fact, the two Longwei dart bureaus in Yinzhou were one five years ago, but later the two brothers had a conflict, and the Longwei dart bureau was divided into two. The lotus is still marked by the east of the city Longwei dart board, and the lotus peng is marked by the west of the city Longwei dart board. ”
"How can this be?" Zhu Yu's face was pale, but her thin little face was not very visible. This person can't think too much, the more he thinks about it, the easier it is to panic, "Uncle Ouyang, do you think my father will ...... Could something be wrong?"
"I wish the girl didn't have to think about it, maybe the old man remembered it wrongly. You are not familiar with the place in this Yinzhou city, let you go alone, and the old man is not at ease.
I thought about it, or Caizhi and I should send you to the Longwei Dart Bureau in the west of the city first. If Ling Zun is not there, Miss Zhu will go back to the east of the city with me, and another Longwei dart bureau is near Ouyang's house. What do you think?"
Zhu Yu thought about it for a while, so he agreed, "Trouble Uncle Ouyang." ”
Ouyang Qing called Steward Wang, "Steward Wang, you send the medicinal herbs back to the mansion first." By the way, tell Madame that Miss and I will send Miss Zhu to the Longwei Dart Bureau. ”
......
Zhu Yu stood at the door of the Longwei Dart Bureau in the east of the city, and looked back at the plaque of the Longwei Dart Bureau unwillingly, and the blooming lotus flower sign on the lower right corner of the plaque was faintly visible.
The news I heard just now echoed in my mind, whether it was in the west of the city or in the east of the city, there was no dart called Zhu Nantian at all.
Ouyang Caizhi looked at her worriedly, "Sister Zhu, don't worry. Uncle Zhu must be fine, you go to my house to live first, and when we find news of Uncle Zhu, we will send you there. ”
"Cai Zhi is right, don't worry about it yet. Although my Ouyang family is not as good as those big families in Yinzhou, when it comes to finding people, I have the Ouyang family and I can definitely rank in the top three. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Ouyang and Cai Zhi. If I hadn't met you, I'd ......" Zhu Yu was a little choked up when she said this, she thought that she would be able to see her father when she arrived in Yinzhou City, she had already thought about it. When you see your father, you must ask him why he left her alone in Meixi Village for so many years. Even if it's for her good, it won't work.
But now, Zhu Yu only hopes that her father is safe.
Just then, the carriage suddenly jolted, and then stopped.
"Calm down, I'll go out and have a look. Ouyang Qing lifted the curtain, "What's the matter?"
"Back to the master, it's the Mu family's carriage. ”
Ouyang Qing frowned, "Go around from the side!"
"Master, you can't get around!"
Ouyang Qing looked forward, his face was ugly, this Mu family was really getting more and more excessive.
The streets of this city are already wide, and if it is just an ordinary carriage, it can be passed in parallel. But now, the Mu family actually used a carriage with four horses in accordance with the regulations of the City Lord's Mansion. This one car took up the entire street.
The curtain of the car on the opposite side was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a mustache stepped down. When the other party saw Ouyang Qing, a trace of ill will flashed in his eyes.
