Chapter 133: Mother
Since the last time the dragon and tiger were recruited, the city of Tokyo has gradually returned to calm. However, at that time, it was in the limelight for a while, and it gathered the attention of the entire Jiuzhou.
As a big city, there is no shortage of topics to talk about. Anecdotes of immortals, beautiful women and famous prostitutes, hidden officials, and so on. These all made the ordinary people talk about it, and the storytellers in the teahouse and wine shop even compiled them into a book to talk about it.
However, the people in the city like to secretly discuss the family affairs of the city lord, and there are few gossips in anyone's mouth. I met people I knew every day when I walked the streets and alleys, and I exchanged mysteries and secrets, and my expression was ambiguous.
As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the Prime Minister's concierge is a seven-grade official. These two sayings have been vividly and appropriately stated by the ancestors.
Therefore, the secrets of the dignitaries have always been a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.
As the city lord is a city talker, his family secrets are even more curious.
Up to the city lord, lady, son, lady, maid, which one is not the talk of the streets.
On this day, a young man came to the gate of Tokyo City, and the young man was wearing a dragon and tiger fairy gate robe that was familiar to the residents of the city.
Because of their proximity to each other, the people in the city are no strangers to the Dragon and Tiger Immortal Gate. When I go out, I mention the Dragon and Tiger Immortal Gate and Yourongyan, which is the behemoth of our hometown.
Moreover, Taoism has been a posture of entering the WTO from ancient times to the present, and it does not seem out of place to walk in the red dust.
Flattering!
Therefore, when the young man made a bold move to the gate of the city, the people who passed by not only did not feel surprised, but showed a look of surprise.
"Another disciple who has just left the mountain gate, I have never seen the majesty of our Tokyo City!
I thought that this was a disciple of the dragon and tiger who had just come out of the mountain gate, and when he first arrived in the big city, he was shocked by the majesty of the big city, and now he is stunned.
The young man looked at the inscription of Tokyo City and remained motionless, as if he wanted to see the city through it all at once.
Gradually, more and more people saw the strange movements of the young man, and even the guards at the city gate noticed the strangeness of the man, but they just fixed their eyes on it, and their faces changed in an instant. In the end, they did not dare to disturb the young man, and silently retreated to the side to guard the city gate dutifully.
After watching for a while, the young man entered the city through the gate, and no one stopped him.
It wasn't until the young man entered the city that someone looked at the young man's back and lost his mind!
"It's him!"
"You know?"
The melon seller, a native of Tokyo, first looked around decently, and after making sure that there were no idlers around. He mysteriously got together with the questioner and muttered.
"He is the second son of our Li City Lord, Young Master Li Xunhuan!
The fire of gossip of the old melon seller is burning, no different from those who eat melons.
He was deeply satisfied with the loneliness of the questioner, because then he could talk endlessly.
How can there be so many customers in an ordinary melon stall, whether it is full of warmth and lust, it is a long time, how to pass the long day if you don't catch a person to chat?
opened the chatterbox, and the old man who sold melons couldn't stop anymore. I don't know if he was hearsay, or if he made up a rural anecdote after adding oil and vinegar, but the questioner was aroused by curiosity just after listening to the beginning.
"It is said that the second young man of the Li family is a concubine, and he should not be treated in a big house when he fights a small hanger. He himself is not angry, he is not good at reading, he is not good at cultivation, and he was even brushed down by Fuyao Hall in Fuyao Continent. A few years ago, relying on the relationship between the city lord's mansion, he was idle in Tokyo and scattered his money. Even our city lord was very upset when he saw him. ”
"Really, and this kind of secret?"
The person who interrogated him was originally a rural woodcutter who went into the city to sell firewood, and he had always been curious about the strange stories in Tokyo.
This will be shocking, how this scene is exactly the same as in the play.
The ancients did not deceive me!
"That's it, old man, I have a distant relative who works in the City Lord's Mansion!"
At this time, the melon seller is unfathomable in the eyes of the woodcutter, and the usual contact with the firewood seller is the villagers in the market, which will actually talk to the relatives who work in the city lord's mansion.
The melon seller said it with a clear eye, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and the woodcutter was stunned when he heard it.
Ordinary people are like this, some trivial things about dignitaries and dignitaries have become a great topic of conversation in their mouths.
In fact, no matter how high or low a person's status is, he is still a living person, and he will also have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, as well as family trivialities like ordinary people.
Who is born as a human being?
The Tokyo Castle Lord's Mansion occupies a very large area and firmly occupies a luxurious area in the city. As the center of a city, it is not as tall and majestic as it seems.
Behind it, it is the reversal of day and night by countless people that is enough to keep the government decree smooth and non-stop.
In the eyes of outsiders, in a corner of the palatial city lord's mansion, in a dilapidated and declining small room like a firewood house, lived a woman with a sallow face.
The woman had been lazy that day, and had not sprinkled the ruined courtyard as usual.
She just sat quietly on the threshold of the hut today, looking in one direction.
Later, she didn't know what suddenly came to her mind, and she smiled, as if she had thought of something happy.
When he was not at this so-called home, she often did this, sitting for half a day......
On this day, a young man wearing a white Taoist robe suddenly walked at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The young people seem to be very familiar with this place, and they are familiar with the road along the way.
It's just that for some reason, he walked briskly at first, and the closer he got to the City Lord's Mansion, the slower he walked, as if his feet were filled with lead, and his steps were heavy.
The strange thing is that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, who have always been heavily guarded, did not stop the young man, but instead watched his nose and nose, as if he did not see this person, and let him pass through the middle gate and enter the City Lord's Mansion.
The young man did not wander around the City Lord's Mansion, but the closer he got here, the more weak his expression became.
He kept going all the way to a small house where he had been dependent on his mother as a child.
This small room is out of place in the splendid city lord's mansion. But he never cared, for him, as long as there was a mother, it was home, whether luxurious or dilapidated.
At a very young age, he knew that if he hadn't been a boy, he might not have lived today. But it was precisely because he was a boy that the so-called aunt was as jealous as a tiger and had been suppressing his mother and son.
Although when he was there, the aunt didn't dare to do anything for herself, and she didn't dare to deduct too much of the expenses she should have.
After all, in the eyes of that majestic and very strange father who has been majestic all his life, he is a boy who can pass on the family after all.
The young man suddenly became a little flustered while walking, he was afraid, he was afraid that when he was not at home, his mother would be tortured by that woman.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when he met the doubtful city lord's servant along the way, he ignored it, and he only had the woman who depended on each other in his heart.
After all, that woman never expected him to have much achievement, she simply hoped that he would live well.
At last he approached the dilapidated courtyard, and I don't know if it was the cowardice of the country, or something else, he actually fixed it straight, and only dared to look in through the rotten door with the residual light of his eyes.
In the small courtyard, a kind-looking woman sat quietly on the threshold, her eyes gentle.
His lips pursed, his tone trembled, and he called softly, "Mother!"
PS: It is impossible for a novel to have only one protagonist singing a one-man show, only interspersed with countless vivid characters constitutes a novel with fresh blood.
I wrote this chapter for almost a day, and I was very attentive. I am also very satisfied, this chapter is the most emotionally invested in my 300,000-word book. I hope you are satisfied, and you can support me.
