Chapter 11: The Search for the Bright Stamen

Chunhua cautiously approached her, chuckled and said, "What is the trouble with Miss?" ”

"Oh?" Miss Yin's phoenix eyes turned, thinking that this spring flower was a ghost spirit every day, so she no longer concealed it, and told the second son of the Huangfu to ask for marriage and temporarily shirk the matter of herself.

Chunhua listened quietly to Miss Yin's explanation of the ins and outs of the matter, tilted her head and thought about it, then looked at the boudoir and saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "Since Miss hasn't agreed to the second son of Huang yet, it will be easier to do." Why not do this. ”

Chunhua whispered in Miss Yin's ear.

After hearing this, Miss Yin showed a knowing smile, pointed at the forehead of the spring flower, and scolded with a smile: "You ghost spirit." ”

Chunhua stuck out her tongue: "Then I'll go to do something, Miss is waiting for my good news." ”

Miss Yin smiled: "Chunhua, I'm sorry for you." ”

Chunhua was about to go out, but Miss Yin stopped her and said, "Slow! Chunhua, there is another thing that you might as well inquire by the way, that is, to listen to the knowledge and daily behavior of the second son of the Huangfu." ”

"All right, miss. Chunhua agreed, and strode out of the door in a hurry.

Yin Wenjiao sighed a breath of turbidity, and her phoenix eyes looked at the back of Chunhua in the distance, thinking in her heart.

But he said that the maid Chunhua came out of the Yin Mansion, and thought in his heart: That Chen Gongzi said that he now lives near the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the city, but this huge Chang'an City is full of people, and I am not looking for a needle in a haystack when I go to find him?

Thinking of the scene of meeting Chen Gongzi in the South Street Market, I came to the Four Treasures Alley of the South Street Scholars again, the scene of the alley specializing in the Four Treasures of the Scholars is still the same, but the bookstall where Chen Guangrui sells words has long been gone, Chunhua went from door to door, ran to many shops in a row, asked many shopkeepers nearby, and searched for Chen Guangrui's whereabouts, I don't know how much spit and how many white eyes I received, but I still didn't hear the news of Chen Guangrui.

When Chunhua walked out of the door of a store, a middle-aged woman's harsh voice came from behind her: "Hmph, this little girl is so shameless!

Rao is Chunhua is generous and cheerful, lively and lovely, after hearing the voice, her face is also ashamed and red, Chunhua stomped her feet angrily, wanting to reason with her, but she just thought about it and gave up.

Stepping into the door of a calligraphy and painting shop, a young man was dialing the abacus, busy in front of the counter, Chunhua stepped forward and asked politely: "This little brother, ask you something?"

"What do you want to ask, girl?" said the young man.

Chunhua pointed to the direction where Chen Guangrui used to set up a stall with her hand, and said: "That's right, I have a distant relative near you, and there was a word stall in that position, who looked like a scholar, dressed plainly, about eight feet long, and about twenty years old. Chunhua said while gesturing.

The young man laughed, "Oh, you're talking about the nerd, you know." He also bought paper, ink, pen and inkstone from my shopkeeper, and my shopkeeper saw that he was not very rich, so the paper and pen were sold to him at the purchase price. ”

Chunhua was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Then does your shopkeeper know where his family lives?" The young man looked at Chunhua's anxious and surprised expression, so he opened the curtain behind the counter and shouted: "Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you." ”

At this time, an old man in satin clothes and a kind face lifted the curtain and walked out from behind the curtain: "Who is looking for me?"

"Hello shopkeeper grandpa!" Chunhua's mouth was extremely sweet, and she bowed again, quite polite.

"Hehe, what is the little girl looking for the old man?" The old man asked with a smile when he saw that the little girl was delicate and polite, and her voice was a little crisp, and he stroked his beard and smiled.

"Shopkeeper grandpa, I have a distant relative, named Chen Guangrui, it turns out that there used to be a word stall selling calligraphy and paintings in this neighborhood, does the old man know him?"

When the old man heard the name, he couldn't help but smile: "You're talking about Chen Guangrui, this young man, the old man knows, knows, does the girl have anything to do with him?"

Chunhua rolled her eyes and said: "I am Chen Guangrui's distant cousin, I came here to find relatives and take refuge, I just came to this Chang'an City from my hometown, I don't want to be in this capital city, but where can I find my brother Chen?

Rao is old man has experienced vicissitudes of life, accustomed to seeing the scene, seeing the little girl suddenly crying and losing his voice, he was also at a loss, and hurriedly persuaded: "Girl, don't cry, that Chen Guangrui has always only bought some paper, ink, pen and inkstone in my house, I think the young man is good, and the family is poor, so he only charges him some money, I heard him say that he lives in Xuanwu Gate in the north of the city, and the Chen family's smith shop is his home, and the girl can go there to find him quickly." ”

"Ah, Xuanwu Gate Chen Jiajia Smith Shop! Thank you Grandpa Shopkeeper!" Chunhua bowed deeply, and her delicate and immature face was filled with irrepressible excitement.

Along the way, Chunhua finally saw a city gate tower standing in front of her, the tall gatehouse on the big book "Xuanwu Gate" three big characters, vigorous and powerful, there are soldiers wearing armor, cross-swords and guns on both sides of the gatehouse to guard both sides, and two soldiers are checking all kinds of people in and out of the city gate.

There were many people coming in and out of the gatehouse, Chunhua found a few older people, asked about the specific location of the Chen family's craftsman's shop, thanked him, and didn't care that his face was already flowered and his clothes were wrinkled, so he hurriedly went straight to the Chen's smith's shop.

When he came to the remote Chen family's craftsman's shop, he saw that the firewood door was closed, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker, and shouted while knocking: "Is Chen Guangrui's son at home?"

It is also a good thing to grind, that day Chen's father sold bamboo mats along the street, Chen's mother went to the market to buy vegetables, and Chen Guangrui was studying hard in the back room at this time, first, the back room was far away from the chai door, the woman's voice was weak, and the backyard could not really hear; So I didn't know that someone was knocking on the door at this time.

Chunhua knocked on the door for a long time, and when she saw that no one responded, she was a little depressed, thinking that she had gone out, it was really unfortunate, and she wanted to go home, but she was a little unwilling, thinking that it was not easy to find the Chen family, and she was willing to stop only when she saw Chen Guangrui herself. So, he picked a clean place by the door and sat down, Chunhua put her hand on her cheeks, and sat and waited for the Chen family to come back while thinking about how to talk later.

waited until sunset and dusk, only to wait for one, the person was dressed in white flowers on a blue background, his complexion was fair, and a few shallow crow's feet were hidden in the corners of his eyes.

Chen's mother saw a young woman sitting in front of her house, dressed in green, with a small face and a delicate face, and her eyes were smart.

Mother Chen was a little puzzled, looked at Chunhua with suspicious eyes, stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, why are you sitting at the door of my house?"

Chunhua saw that although the person who came was over middle age, his face was very similar to Chen Guangrui's, and it was expected to be Chen Guangrui's mother, so she saluted and said: "Little girl Chunhua, I have seen my aunt! Chunhua and Chen Guangrui's son are acquaintances, and now I have something important to tell him, please ask my aunt to open the door, and I can meet Chen Gongzi in person." ”

"Oh, look for Guangrui, he's reading in the back room. ”

"Huh?" Chunhua was so angry that she almost bit her tongue, Rao knocked on the door for a long time, and waited for most of the day, and the Lord of Dare has been staying in the back room!
