Chapter Five: The Descendants of the True Dragon (2)

After Chang Gonggong handed over the holy decree to him, he said in a low voice: "King Yu has specially explained, I will give you an hour to send people to settle the wages, but no other expenses are allowed except for the wages, and we have sent people to monitor them." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info when the time comes, we will come back to the mansion. Nangong Yu thanked and said: "Thank you King Yu for your care, father-in-law is thoughtful." Grandpa Chang sighed lightly and muttered, "You are also unlucky." After saying that, he took people and left. Nangong Yu looked at the reason on the holy decree again, and smiled dumbly.

He immediately summoned all his subordinates in front of the account room, a total of one hundred and ten, and when the news of the decree was announced, the whole house wept loudly, but most of them wept for their own livelihood. Nangong Yu also felt sentimental, after all, they have been together day and night for many years, and they have developed feelings. Settle the wages for everyone in person at the moment. When it was the turn of the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter, when Lu Gong and Yan Gang, they were all reluctant to give up on Nangong Yu, and they cried and said goodbye again and again. When the money was settled, he quietly stuffed Nangong Yu with a silver ticket of eight hundred taels, and said in a low voice: "I took it out secretly, don't be too little." Nangong Yu knew that he had stolen more than this one, but his willingness to take the risk of sharing it with himself was already commendable. After thanking Qian Ping and sending him away, he raised his eyes but didn't see Tian'er, and asked the subordinate next to him: "Where is Miss Tian'er now?" The subordinate replied: "I was still here just now, and now I don't know where I went." Nangong Yu asked the people in the account room to continue to pay the salary, and he went to look for Tian'er.

Tian'er and the four maids of spring, summer, autumn and winter all live in the Four Seasons Xiaoxuan separated by a wall in Ning Yuxuan, and there is a small door between the two courtyards to facilitate serving. Nangong Yu walked into Four Seasons Xiaoxuan and came to Tian'er's wing, and saw that the door was empty, and there was movement inside, so she pushed open the door, and saw Tian'er stepping on a chair and tying white silk on the beam. Nangong Yu was shocked: "Tian'er, what are you doing!" Tian'er's eyes were red and she cried "wow", jumped off the chair and threw herself on the bed and cried. Nangong Yu sat on the edge of the bed and said distressedly: "It's not a big deal, as for doing this stupid thing?"

Tian'er cried: "Childe, you want to drive me away, but where can I go, what's the point of me living without Childe, it's better to die." Nangong Yu sighed: "I don't want to send everyone away, but there is really no way, the imperial court will soon come to seal the mansion, and from then on I will be a broken household, and I really have no money to support everyone." Tian'er suddenly raised her head, grabbed Nangong Yu's hand and said: "I don't want a son-in-law to raise a son, I can raise a son, I will have a lot of things, I will make snacks, cut clothes, sing songs, do laundry and sweep the floor, as long as the son allows me to serve by my side, I will never cause trouble to the son." ”

Nangong Yu was moved in her heart, hugged Tian'er in her arms, and said: "My good sweetness, I have received your wishes, but I have no fixed place to live in the future, I am afraid that I will wander the world, how can I take you to suffer with me? You are a good girl, take advantage of your youth, find a good man to marry." As he spoke, he took out the eight hundred taels of silver tickets given by Qian Ping, and said, "You can take this money, and it can be regarded as the dowry I bought for you." Tian'er cried: "I don't want Childe's money, I just want to follow Childe." Nangong Yu said: "Don't be childish, listen to me, okay?The outside world is very big, as long as you go out for a walk, you will find that there are many people worth befriending, many things worth doing, all of which are better than following me to wander, and even better than looking for short-sightedness, do you understand?" Tian'er sobbed: "I entered the house at the age of twelve, and I have never been outside, I... I'm a little scared of the outside world. Nangong Yu smiled: "Although there are bad people in the world, there are also good people, I believe there must be more good people than bad people." You're such a goblin, no one can bully you, maybe you'll find life outside more interesting than in Fuzhong?"

Tian'er choked up and said, "Although I don't want to leave Childe, I don't want Childe to hate me, so I'll just listen to you." But... But will I be able to see Gongzi again in the future?" Nangong Yu said: "We will definitely meet again, I can guarantee this." If you haven't married by then, we'll continue to be together, okay?" Tian'er wiped her tears and said, "Okay, I believe Childe's words." Nangong Yu smiled happily and kissed her on the forehead. Tian'er immediately packed up her baggage, followed Nangong Yu to the front of the mansion, and bowed down and shed tears. Nangong Yu took advantage of her inattention and stuffed the silver ticket into her baggage.

In less than half an hour, all the subordinates received their wages and left the mansion. Nangong Yu closed the door of the mansion alone, turned around and looked at the huge courtyard, feeling sad in his heart. He walked through each courtyard, just wanting to take one last look at the place where he had lived since he was a child. Nangong Mansion is too big, and he hasn't been to some places before, so this time he went to all of them. Finally, I came to the back garden, walked across the stone bridge, sat down in the gazebo where I had lunch with Haiqiong, and suddenly choked up when I looked at the beautiful scenery of the garden.

He cried not for money, but for loneliness and powerlessness. As the master of the Nangong family's generation, he made the family fall into the middle, and he blamed himself in his heart, and his heart had never been so low. But when he returned to the front of the house, his tears had been wiped away, and he would not let the world see his weakness, whether rich or poor, son-in-law or son-in-law.

The door of the mansion opened, and when the Dongchang fan outside saw him come out, he pasted the two seals he had prepared on the door and guarded the door. Nangong Yutou walked out of the alley without looking back, standing at the mouth of the alley at a loss, not knowing where to go. The pedestrians on Gulou Street are endless, but because there are people from Dongchang standing at the mouth of the alley, no one dares to look inside. Then the sun peeked through the clouds, and the blinding sunlight shone on his face, and he took two steps back, back into the shadows, and sat under the elm tree planning his next move. He didn't want to go to Song Yi and them, he didn't want to use others to make a comeback, he had a strong sense of self-esteem, he didn't want to be just a puppet owner, he was willing to fulfill Song Yi and let him stand on his own. He suddenly wanted to go to Haiqiong's hometown of Qiongzhou to see the sea and customs there, and then walk the streets where Haiqiong had walked, and he would also have a sense of intimacy.

But he has to use money wherever he goes, he has never had the habit of bringing money, and now he is even more penniless, and the only valuable thing in his body is the emerald wrench that Wei Xin gave him. He suddenly thought of Miss Wei, now that he is worthless, his marriage with others will naturally come to an end, but after all, the wrench is a gift, and he will not sell his favor to a pawnshop. He suddenly thought that Wang Hanli still owed him five thousand taels of silver, and as long as he paid it back to himself, everything would be enough. Immediately got up and walked towards Fengyi Pavilion.
