Chapter 338: Growing Up and Childhood
People in the same place will have the same topic to discuss most of the time. Even if their living environment is completely different.
In Nanmiao Village, someone brought back the latest news.
"Pillar! Pillar! Let me tell you, I saw the immortal mother again today. I don't pity the two of you who ruined the reputation of my village. I heard Changshengniang say that the drunken immortal building is going to be taken over by a new owner. You think, with a new owner, it must have to reopen. As soon as it opens, can the new owner bring back a pillar that is as good at stir-frying as yours? ”
Zhu Ziniang listened to the previous words and couldn't lift her spirits. But as soon as she heard the latter words, the woman was immediately excited, and she ran home.
Her son hadn't been back for a few days. I heard that the owner of the drunken fairy building where her son went to do things had committed an accident, and a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded the building, and none of the people inside escaped.
If what this Immortal Mother said was true, then she couldn't miss it. Although Changshengniang was driven out of Nanmiao Village. But Zhu Ziniang believed this - when Changsheng didn't die, their family news was indeed the most well-informed.
Changshengniang, a woman who has lost her husband and son, can survive alone in the capital, but I am afraid that it is some unusual means.
There is not only one person who thinks about the immortal mother like this.
The filthy Immortal Lady was blindfolded and taken to a completely unfamiliar place.
When the old woman opened her eyes, she saw only a golden tent, and there were people in the tent, whether it was a man or a woman, but she could not see clearly.
"Your son, whose money did you receive when you went to Zuixianlou to make trouble?" A cold-faced man outside the tent asked Changsheng Niang.
The old woman immediately cried: "My son is dead. ”
"If you don't say it, I'll dig up your son again. He was lying in the finch forest, and I am afraid that he still felt lively. The man didn't hold anything in his hand, but his eyes were enough to make Changsheng Niang fearful.
Changshengniang didn't dare to hide it, and told her how proudly she showed off to her before her son went to the drunken immortal building to blackmail that day.
"Mother, you said that there are really everyone in this world. There are also people who pay me to slander people. I even thought of ways to slander people. ”
"Mother, don't be afraid. People said that they were very envious of me for pretending to be sick in the restaurant in the past, and I was very envious of the things that succeeded time and again. This time, he wanted me to show him a demonstration, and he would learn to do it in the future. ”
In the eyes of Changsheng and Changshengniang, this matter is a good messenger who is effortless. After all, blackmailing restaurants was originally what Changsheng did.
Now, it's great to be able to get two pieces of silver without having to worry about studying.
After the Immortal Mother said this, her eyes turned red. She only now knew that there was no such thing as a pie directly falling from the sky.
"It's a liar, it's a liar!" Changshengniang suddenly burst into tears, "That black-hearted man used my son's life to plot against the old owner of the Drunken Immortal Building, and now he is going to take over the rich Drunken Immortal Building." Pity my son, and his life is gone. ”
The man who asked the question was unmoved, still with a cold face.
"Isn't the blackmail thing ending a long time ago? How do you know that the person behind this is going to take over the Drunken Immortal Building? The man asked.
Changshengniang cried and replied: "If it weren't for borrowing the life of my family, this drunken immortal building is such a big restaurant, and it is such a powerful owner, how could it collapse." ”
The man frowned, not at all satisfied with the Immortal Mother's answer. He was about to scold the other party and continue to ask, but he heard the sound of cups falling from the curtain.
The man stooped in.
Changshengniang continued to cry, and looked at the curtain with teary eyes, but the poor curtain fell quickly, and she couldn't see who was inside at all.
When he came out again, the man had a few scrolls in his hand.
"Which of these people was the first to teach you blackmail?" The man opened the scrolls separately and placed them in front of the Immortal Mother.
I saw that on the scroll, there were portraits of men. It's just that the portraits of these men are neither a picture of a home or a picture of going out to play.
It's that everyone's facial features are clearly drawn, except for the clothes that are not prisoner clothes, the other looks really look like the wanted notices posted by the government on weekdays.
Changshengniang felt a little worried in her heart, and after looking at it, she didn't dare to look directly at these portraits anymore.
However, the cold-faced man pressed her face directly in front of the portrait.
The other party's voice sounded in his ears: "If you don't recognize it, or if you recognize it wrongly, I will send you to see your son immediately." ”
Changshengniang was suddenly frightened, she hurriedly pointed to a person and said, "It's him, it's him." I remember it was him. ”
The cold-faced man grabbed all the portraits in one fell swoop, only to see that his hands were alternate, and the portraits changed positions in an instant, and they could no longer distinguish the original order.
"Again. If you're wrong, you can go and see your son. The man said.
Changsheng Niang trembled her hand and pointed at one of them: "It's him, I didn't lie to you." I remember him. ”
"After Changsheng came back from the Drunken Immortal Tower, this person came to look for him. I was standing right behind Changsheng at that time. I saw that the man's earlobe was very large and there was a mole on it. ”
The cold-faced man looked at the person pointed out by Changsheng Niang, and asked repeatedly, "Why didn't you say these words outside before, but only now?" ”
Changsheng Niang said in fear: "Because I saw him again." He wanted to go to Nanmiao Village to kill me, but fortunately I was kicked out of Nanmiao Village. ”
The old woman was taken away and taken to a place that no one knew about.
Behind the golden curtain, the murderous man in front of the woman now restrained his breath and knelt on one knee in front of the seated man.
"What are you doing on your knees? After the people of the dark department are assigned to the prince or princess, they should be completely loyal to the new master. I blame you for this. "The person who has been sitting behind the golden curtain is none other than the emperor.
After the emperor imprisoned the four princes, he did not deal with it for a long time. It's not that he feels sorry for this son, but he is waiting for the situation like today.
A horse's feet can't be hidden for a lifetime. If he wants to investigate, he must find out completely.
"I don't remember, who is this secret guard now?" The emperor picked up the teacup, blew it lightly, and asked.
The leader of the secret guard bowed his head and replied, "It's the second prince." ”
"That's good. My sons have grown up. The emperor's expression did not look happy at all.
Inside the prison, Su Zhaoning was holding Nan Minxing in his arms and feeding him.
Nan Minxing fell ill on the second day of his stay in prison. He was hot now, and he lay in Su Zhaoning's arms without any strength.
opened his mouth and obediently swallowed what Su Zhaoning fed him.
Nan Minxing asked expectantly: "Mother, you said, will Uncle General know that you and I are imprisoned?" ”
He ...... "Su Zhaoning actually didn't want to owe Chen Tianyang a favor." Now, however, it seems that she has no other way.
Although, the person in her heart flashed in her mind, but she didn't want him to come back.
The best time for the dead to come back is definitely not now.
Nan Minxing swallowed another bite of the unpalatable prison meal. He was actually about to vomit, and he couldn't help but retch, but Nan Minxing still forced himself to swallow.
The child is sensible, which makes Su Zhaoning feel distressed.
"Min Xing, you get better quickly." Su Zhaoning touched Nan Minxing's head.
The child still has some fever. Su Zhaoning was worried.
Nan Minxing nodded and replied to Su Zhaoning: "Hmm." I'll get better soon, mother. ”
"The general's uncle said that when he came back next time, he would bring me a small suit of armor, and he would take me to practice swordsmanship with him. I'm going to protect my mother. As Nan Minxing spoke, he felt a little drowsy again.
He stretched out his hand and climbed up Su Zhaoning's neck.
Su Zhaoning pressed his face against Nan Minxing's forehead, and the worry in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
She hadn't been like this in a long time.
The little Nan Minxing in his arms reminded Su Zhaoning of his childhood.
At that time, she was still a child, and Yingying cried all day and night. The nurse couldn't coax her, and because her father quickly helped the concubine to become a wife, the subordinates were even more dissatisfied with Yingying.
Su Zhaoning had no choice but to learn to hug himself.
She didn't know how to hold the baby, but she had no choice.
Hugging or crying, Su Zhaoning could only stand up and walk, walked around and around, still crying, Su Zhaoning hummed and coaxed.
"The butterflies of the south gate flew to the west gate, and the flowers of the west gate wanted to look at the north gate, and the north gate was the blooming garden, and there were countless butterflies and flowers in it......"
The little songs I sang in my childhood are a little clear in my memory. Su Zhaoning hummed the song softly, holding Nan Minxing and shaking it slowly.
In another cell, Nan Qichen looked at his sister-in-law and nephew next door, and his memory returned to a few years ago.
He hadn't heard his mother sing.
But he remembered that his sister and his grandmother were always singing and coaxing him.
What kind of nursery rhyme is that?
"Look at your home, I'll look at the bridge. Out of sight on the bridge, your little face. But the flowers along the way are like you're laughing. The breeze at home is my heart......"
The nursery rhyme gradually became clear, but in the sound of the nursery rhyme, Nan Qichen heard a different voice.
It was a man's voice. It's completely different from the woman's soft voice of my grandmother and sister. The man's voice sounded in his ears, and the same nursery rhyme sang with a different flavor.
Nan Qichen leaned his back against the railing of the prison, and he looked at Su Zhaoning and Nan Minxing over there.
The one in front of him was obviously a mother and son, but somehow Nan Qichen saw the shadow of his brother.
He seemed to see his brother holding him, humming childhood songs over and over again.
Such a scenario does not seem to have happened in the past. But now, it doesn't feel strange at all.
Nan Qichen thought that maybe when he was a child, he was also attached to his brother like Nan Minxing firmly hugged Su Zhaoning's neck.
