Chapter 555: Exact Whereabouts
Tao Ziyun thought about it, asked everyone's opinions, and said: "It is obviously not convenient for Master Tao to go to see him in an official uniform. It's better for me and He Renzhi to go over and have a look with Uncle Hulan first. β
Hashma is still very concerned about his own affairs, and he firmly stated: "I don't think it's as good as this, there are business stalls here, there are everything sold, I'll go buy a set of people's clothes to wear, or let's go together!"
"It's better to do it yourself. As soon as Tao Ziyun said this, He Renzhi drove the carriage to the stall selling clothes.
Hashma took off his outer clothes and official hat, left him in the carriage, got out of the carriage, and personally picked out a set of people's clothes and bought them.
While putting on his new clothes, Hashma said to Hulan Bua: "My daughters have stayed in the carriage, and we will walk over." β
Hu Lan didn't say a word, and walked quickly to lead the way, He Renzhi drove the carriage to follow closely, and everyone followed behind the carriage expectantly.
Sure enough, a swarthy young man, dressed in a set of traditional Mongolian clothes, was still holding a chess event, constantly accosting people.
Tao Ziyun approached the man and said to him calmly: "Brother, don't you just ask for news and don't do anything else?"
The man's heart lit up, and he quickly replied, "Originally, I was going to participate in the chess competition, but on my way to Naadam, I heard that someone was looking for Hadar's father, so I only cared about inquiring about the news." Excuse me, do you know where the person looking for Hadar's father is?"
Hashma heard what was meant, and he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked the swarthy young man, "Hadar's father, is it Hashqun, and who are you?"
"Hadar is the eldest son of Hashqun, my name is Keretu, and Hadar's sister Hadayin is my fiancΓ©e. The man replied as he surveyed the group in front of him.
Hashma's heart sank. Hurriedly asked Keretu: "Where are the people of the Hadar family?"
Keretu replied earnestly: "Their family is now fishing on Poyang Lake for a living. β
"I am the one who is looking for Hashqun, my name is Hashma, and I am his brother whom I have not seen for many years. Hashma breathed a sigh of relief and asked Keretu suspiciously: "It's really strange, why did he go to Poyang Lake?"
"It's so good that I've finally found you!" said Keretu, who cheerfully said to Hashma: "When your brother heard that you had an accident, he expected that you would be very unlucky at that time, in order to avoid trouble. He sold his family property and went into hiding outside the customs to earn a living. Over there, he married and had children, and had an eldest son, a daughter, and a younger son, who lived not far from my house, and his daughter was betrothed to me. Later, the government searched your whereabouts everywhere, saying that you were serving hard labor in a foreign country and had disappeared for no reason. The officers and soldiers want to find you. Your brother saw that the wind was too tight, and he was about to be implicated if he was not careful, so he went to the place where you used to be an official and hid, and he felt that he had gone there. Instead, it's less noticeable. β
Hashma smiled softly: "Yes, the officers and soldiers would not have thought that my younger brother would live in seclusion in the place where I am an officer." In the place where I used to be an official, my brother would have a little bit of affection. It's just that. Their fishing life is very hard, right?"
Somewhat embarrassed, Kretu replied, "Oh, these situations. You might as well ask them yourself. I've been there, and they don't want their daughter to marry me. I came this time, brought a lot of ginseng, sold it, and then participated in the chess competition, and when I heard that someone was looking for your brother, I tried hard to inquire about your news, and the chess competition was abandoned. β
Hashma said with reservations: "Okay, we will go on our way tomorrow and look for them on Poyang Lake." β
"It seems that you have been freed from the suffering of labor, you are wearing brand new clothes, although the quality is not good, you are fine." β
Hashma stopped everyone with his eyes, and He Renzhi, who originally wanted to interject, took back the words that he was about to blurt out.
Hashma himself replied: "I was wronged in those days. With the help of these friends, we were not only freed from the pain of hard labor, but also helped us to redress our grievances. β
Tao Ziyun carefully interjected: "Hehe, this is a happy event, Keretu, tomorrow we will go to the south together and find your future parents-in-law on Poyang Lake, okay?"
Keretu's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "Okay, it's nice to see Hadayin and them again." It was not long ago that I returned to Guanwai from the south. I brought the ginseng I dug up at home, and I came to participate in the Naadam Conference, you see, the tanned ones are all back and forth, the result of eating and sleeping in the dew!"
Hashma said with mixed feelings: "My brother is blindly avoiding trouble, and I didn't want to look for him. This time, I had a month-long vacation, and when I returned to my hometown, I was moved by the idea of finding him. I didn't expect him to go to the south tomorrow when he arrived on Poyang Lake, so he shouldn't buy tents anymore, right?"
"Of course don't buy it again. If your brother is still on the prairie, when we go back to the south, we can give him the tent, and we are about to leave the prairie, what are you going to do with the tent?"
Hulan Bua took advantage of the situation to mention yì and said: "As a grassland family, you always sleep on the grassland, and that kind of life is incomplete. If you don't buy tents, why don't you go to my house and live a normal life on the prairie?"
Hashma was still hesitating, trying to listen to his wife and daughter.
"Ha senior, you just agree. Ziyun and I both borrowed Uncle Hulan's livestock and had a good herding life, Uncle Hulan was so kind to us, and you got the exact whereabouts of your brother, so take everyone to Uncle Hulan's house and have a good experience of Mongolian life. This is He Keren's encouragement, she wants her beloved daughter to have a good experience of Mongolian customs and life. She also answered cautiously, and did not reveal Hashma's current identity in front of Keretu.
After hearing He Keren's suggestion, Hashma saw that the people in front of him, including the family members in the carriage, had no objections, and Hashma replied as boldly as he could: "Okay, this time, we will all go!"
Hulan exclaimed excitedly, "Well, now, let's go to this Naadam conference, go everywhere, and have enough fun! Then, go to my house for a party!"
"Let's go! The horse racing side is the most lively, let's go to the finals of the horse racing first!" Tao Ziyun picked up a daughter, called He Keren and He Meimei, who were holding another daughter, and walked happily to the horse racing venue, and the others followed suit. (To be continued......)
