"Tomorrow? In such a hurry? "
Xia Yingdu was surprised by Gu Yuanlong's words.
"Yes." Gu Yuanlong nodded, "in fact, the time is very tight in the next few days. I need to read books and meet too many people. I haven't been successful yet. It's not good for me to visit my former residence in a swagger at this time. So for now, I just need to take a look quietly
Now that he has figured it out and is willing to go out, he naturally hopes to see the place where he grew up earlier.
Gu Tuo nodded. "Then you go! But remember to dress up. "
Gu Yuanlong is not suitable to appear in the vicinity of Zhai's residence.
"Father, don't worry, my child will be saved." Gu Yuanlong nodded with a smile.
On the next day, Xia Ying disguised herself as a woman who came to visit relatives in the capital. Gu Yuanlong blackened her face with gray, and her hair was only loosely tied into two buns to make it look like a little child. Then she and her son put on a straw hat respectively.
After that, Gu Yuanlong takes a small donkey and Xia Ying gets on the donkey. The mother and son go out through the back door and go straight to Zhai's house.
Ten years later, the capital has changed a lot.
But who is Gu Yuanlong? He is a famous child prodigy!
So he clearly remembered the layout of the capital in his mind!
Even if the roadside furniture can be changed, the most basic road arrangement will not change. He walked along the road and found the house of Zhai family.
"It's ahead of us!"
When she heard Gu Yuanlong's cry, Xia Ying raised her eyes, and she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
It's not because of the grandeur of the house. On the contrary, at first glance, the house looks simple and unsophisticated, without any sense of superiority.
However, in the center of the capital city, which is only three miles away from the palace, there is such a low-key and simple house. Is this more shocking?
Moreover, the closer you are, the more Xia Ying is aware of an indescribable breath.
Different from the intense pressure when she was close to the city wall, Xia Ying's feeling is much more gentle now, even she feels very comfortable!
"Is this the cultural heritage of the Zanying aristocratic family? It has penetrated into every brick and tile She whispered.
Gu Yuanlong, who led the donkey, chuckled. "Mother, you are exaggerating
"No, I mean it." Xia yingding nods.
Gu Yuanlong hooked the corner of his mouth. He continued to lead the donkey along the dusty wall. After a long time, two people arrived at the main gate.
This house looks ordinary and insignificant, but it covers a large area. The whole street is actually the scope of Zhai's family!
Around the gate, you can see that there is a mottled red lacquer gate, and the seal on the door has already dropped half.
The remaining half of the seal was also crumbling, and the ink on the top was fading. You could only see the year and year of the emperor recorded on the seal, as well as the ink seal with a little red mark on it.
Xia Ying calculated the time and found that it was exactly ten years ago.
When he saw such a dilapidated gate of Zhai's family, Gu Yuanlong could not help shaking his body.
"I remember when I was a kid, it was very beautiful. The gate needs to refresh the red lacquer every year, so it's as bright as new all the time. There is also a plaque on the door, which does not need to be decorated with other fame. The word "Zhai Fu" is enough to glorify the capital. There is not so much ash on the threshold, because there are so many people coming and going, only one foot can rub the ground bright. There is also the old poplar tree behind the gate. As far as I can remember, it is only one head higher than me, but now it has already broken through the roof and the treetops have grown so high! "
Looking at the picture that he had been thinking about for countless times, he suddenly became so dilapidated that he could not help but miss the lively scene he had seen when he was a child.
Just saying that, he could not help but smile bitterly. "It's a pity that the glory of ten years ago has become a thing of the past. Now, it's just an abandoned old house. I just don't know. It looks like it's damaged outside. What will the head look like? My father and the Zhai family's ancestors will be heartbroken when they see this scene? "
"If you want to know what it looks like, let's go in and have a look." Xia Ying Dao.
Gu Yuanlong raised his head. "Mother, do you mean to push the door in?"
"Why push the door? There's a seal here Xia Ying waved her hand, "I saw it when I came here just now. The fence on the side is not high. We can both climb over."
Er
Gu Yuanlong puffed at the corner of his mouth.
"Niang, how can you accuse Wen yuan of not following the normal way?"
"Isn't it the situation that forces it?" "Xia Ying way," you say, and not with me over the wall? ""Sure!" Gu Yuanlong nodded without hesitation.
Mother and son do what they say.
They quickly drove the donkey to the side of the empty alley, and then found a good place to settle down. Gu Yuanlong tied the donkey, and then the mother and son climbed up the wall one after another, and then jumped down the wall.
Then, they both appeared in Zhai's old house.
"I can't see. It's quite clean here! I thought it was going to be full of dust Step on the foot of the compacted land, Xia Ying surprised low cry.
Gu Yuanlong has taken off his hat.
"After the Zhai family was robbed, all the property, including this house, was confiscated. Therefore, the Ministry of housing will send someone to clean the house every once in a while, so that the house will be kept so clean and tidy. But I didn't think that the house had not been rewarded by the emperor. "
He looked around the scenery, and he could still see some flavor in his memory.
Xia Ying tugs at the corners of her mouth. "What else? The Zhai family is also a big family in the Chinese dynasty. Although the emperor destroyed your family because of his anger, he was absolutely incapable of killing all the aristocratic families in the world. Therefore, as long as the Zhai family still has a place in the minds of the aristocrats, the emperor would not dare to give away the property of your family casually. And ordinary people dare not live here! What do they have in mind? "
"And knowing that no one lives in the house, I'm relieved. We can save a lot of energy when we take this house back
Gu Yuanlong chuckled. "My mother, you think long enough!"
"Of course. Anyway, we must take back the house. This is your family stuff Xia Ying has a firm face.
Her tone successfully calmed Gu Yuanlong's heart which was full of holes.
He could not help but bend his brows and eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. "Indeed. What belongs to me, I will take it back! "
