Chapter 98： Pick up

At the bottom of the mountain, I saw four very dilapidated carriages pulled by two donkeys or mules, and next to each car there were two or three big men in vagrant costumes riding on livestock.

Shen Wen frowned: "This doesn't look right!"

Yan looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, the carriage looks too strong. It is either rich or expensive. It can't be covered even if it wears the clothes of the refugees."

Zhang Yunzheng came over and heard them say so, he said: "Then let people think we are gangsters."

Yan chuckled: "Yeah, with so many animals, you are also sturdy, you might be gangsters!"

Zhang Yunzheng pointed to the very burly young man in the lead: "This is the rose..."

Shen Wen couldn't help laughing. The rose came up, imitating Zhang Yunzheng's tone and said: "I have seen you all."

Yan's admiration said: "This is really amazing, it sounds the same."

Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "I don't think it is the same, but he has a guilty conscience when he listens."

Rose also said: "How can I not be guilty, I am not you..."

Zhang Yunzheng raised his hand and gave the rose a head: "It's turned your back." The rose ran her head to the side with a grievance. The big man looked very pitiful. Zhang Yunzheng pointed to a very handsome young man and said, "This is the cuckoo. He will stay in the monk's temple next to the nun's nunnery and pretend to be one of you if necessary."

Dujuan is the only person who hasn't been dressed in tattered clothes. Among a group of "vagrants", he is particularly noble. He said coldly, "I don't think it is necessary!"

Zhang Yunzheng stared: "What do you think is useful, I think it is necessary!"

A small beggar ran over, "The son..."

Zhang Yunzheng said, "Call me Zhang Xiaoge." He said to Shen Wen and others: "This is Magnolia, it's an errand runner." Magnolia saluted and said hurriedly: "The secret whistle in front sends a signal.

Shen Wen hurriedly told Zhang Yunzheng where he was going: "Let's go to pick up Duan Langzhong first, then go to the imperial mausoleum to deliver something, and then go to the wine cellar..."

Zhang Yunzheng's eyes widened: "Are you really going to the border gate?"

Yan was also anxious: "That's right! You go around like this, when will we..."

Shen Wen didn't want to argue with them, and interrupted and said: "Get in the car! Get in the car!" Pulling Yan Shi and Su Wanniang into the car, Zhang Yunzheng yelled: "Go! Go!" The crowd started, went west to the capital, and went. Continue to increase.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Duan Zeng knew that his wish for many years was about to come true, and he would soon go out to travel, so excited that he stepped on a cloud under his feet, he was full of interest and chatting every day. Shi Helin and Su Chuanya both pretended not to notice, but they gathered together at night and scolded Duan Zeng for being unscrupulous.

When the day of departure was near, Duan Zeng was a little sad. I'm busy every day, doing a lot of work for Shi Helin, and I don't quarrel with Shi Helin anymore, and I often say some words of gratitude to Shi Helin. Shi Helin put on airs, a little ignored, and didn't come back until the evening when he was busy outside every day.

Duan Zeng was about to behave abnormally the day before he set off. Sitting there for a while without speaking, Shi Helin asked him a word, and he jumped in surprise.

At night, Duan Zeng waited until Su Chuanya, who was in the same room, fell asleep, then quietly got up again, found the pen and ink, and wrote to Shi Helin by candlelight.

He is most annoying to write, and his usual formulas are very scribbled. He wrote this letter very slowly, stroke by stroke, and only wrote a few sentences in the middle of the night. It was nothing more than to thank Shi Helin for his life-saving and nurturing grace, saying that he would repay him well in the future. Now he has a chance to go out to practice medicine, first go to learn more, please master not to blame him. He will come back.

Finally finished writing, Duan Zeng pressed the paper on the table, blew the lamp, took the package and walked out the door lightly.

Su Chuanya waited until the footsteps disappeared, then jumped up from the bed, took the note and ran to the next room and knocked on the door: "Master! Master! Master ran away!"

Shi Helin had already noticed that Duan Zeng was wrong, and the time was almost up, so he didn't take off his clothes at night, and just waited to listen to the movement of the door next door. When Duan Zeng left, he squinted in the crack of the door, and secretly called Duan Zeng a dozen times to the little white-eyed wolf. Now that Su Chuanya came knocking on the door, he hurriedly opened it, and La Su Chuanya entered the door. I lighted the lamp, took the paper in Su Chuanya's hand, read it, and cursed: "This one has no conscience! I wrote so little!"

Su Chuanya still made a fair statement for Duan Zeng: "Senior Brother Duan didn't have a writing style, and he didn't deliberately not write too much..." But then he boasted: "If it's me, then I can't write five or six thousand. Say..."

Shi Helin glared at Su Chuanya: "Your kid wants to run too!"

Su Chuanya shook her head quickly: "No! No! Master, I won't be as unscrupulous as him. Let's go after him!"

Shi Helin twisted his beard and said: "Don't panic. He left so early and the city gate hasn't opened yet. He just ran away in the middle of the night because he was afraid that he would see me when he got up in the morning. He deserves it! He has to stay half-night. We can take a nap. , And then get up and ride in the carriage. I must not miss it." He looked at the sky, and said: "You can find Qin Quan on the morning of Friday. I've already told him."

Su Chuanya dared not sleep at all, went back to the house, took out the package he had hidden, and checked it carefully. Sitting in front of the bed, I closed my eyes for a while and opened my eyes for a while, listening to the clock and drum beat outside, and hurried to find Qin Quan.

There are few people in front of Qin Quan’s medical hall. Su Chuanya turned to the back door. As soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened. Qin Quan walked out, closed the door carefully, and whispered: "Senior brother said it should be this last night. After a few days of night, I waited all night."

When the two arrived at Shi Helin's medical clinic, Shi Helin said to Qin Quan, "Brother, I will leave it to you."

Qin Quan nodded and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will let someone come and clean it on time, and it won't be deserted."

Shi Helin gave Qin Quan a big box and said to him, "After I leave, you can't get medical treatment. Do you understand that there is a medical record written by me in my study, and you have time to study. If we haven't come back in two or three years, There is no letter either. Here is the title deed of the house and the paperwork I wrote. You can sell the land and use the money to open a pharmacy, or open it here, but remember, you cannot practice medicine!"

Qin Quan cried: "Senior Brother must come back! I still want to show people a minor illness..."

Shi Helin sighed: "Okay, well, you really don't let me rest assured!"

Qin Quan took the box and babbled, "Senior brother, be careful, it's not peaceful outside now, come back early."

Shi Helin nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I will!"

After talking about carrying the package on her back, Su Chuanya also carried her big package excitedly. Shi Helin bid farewell to Qin Quan, and whispered: "I can't let people find that you are helping me, understand?"

Qin Quan nodded hurriedly: "Understand it! No way."

Shi Helin took Su Chuanya and left the hospital, found a car dealer that had negotiated the price, hired a carriage, and went outside the city.

They rode in the carriage for two days, finally arrived at Luoxia Village in the west of Beijing, rented a room in the farmhouse, and found out where the Egret Forest was. After a rest for the night, I went there at noon the next day.

I was waiting for an hour in the forest, but I didn't see Duan Zeng. Su Chuanya was anxious: "Did he come early and have already seen Miss Houfu, they are all gone!"

Shi Helin twirled his beard: "No. The car dealer I'm looking for is an old brand. I can't take the long road. It must be the fastest way. I think he has made a detour and hasn't arrived yet! Look, One can't be without a conscience, otherwise it will be congested when drinking water!"

The two waited until it was dark before they returned to the village, ate their own dry food, and asked the landlord if anyone had come to live in the village. The landlord said that he had not paid attention.

The next day, the two of them went to the Egret Forest early in the morning. They hadn't waited long this time when Duan Zeng was hurriedly rushing here. Shi Helin and Su Chuanya smiled at each other and hid behind the bushes.

Duan Zeng went to the edge of the woods and looked around. There was no one. He breathed a sigh of relief and sat on a tree stump. He did take a detour, and it took him an extra day to arrive. Fortunately, in the time period Su Wanniang said, there should be no mistakes in the agreement.

As soon as I took a breath, I heard a familiar voice saying: "Xiaoya! Look, your brother, the white-eyed wolf, just left me like this! Don't knock me off, please! I think I picked him back. At times, he was afraid of the dark. I accompany him to sleep at night, telling him stories, telling jokes... But now, he turns around and leaves without seeing me! I swear, I am not his master! From then on, I will not This apprentice!"

Duan Zeng stood up suddenly, turned around in amazement and walked into the woods, and saw Shi Helin and Su Chuanya were "holding their heads and crying", Su Chuanya said: "Master, rest assured, I will never treat you that way! In the future, If I want to go out to play, I must tell the master first! The master agrees, and I will leave! When I leave, I will ask the master if he wants to go with me. What if the master wants to go out to play, but the apprentice can’t ignore the master! "

Shi Helin "sobbed": "He is not my apprentice anymore...no...I have a broken heart! Very sad!"

Duan Zeng was embarrassed. Shi Helin is his closest person. For so many years, when he said he was leaving, Shi Helin stopped him. He can imagine how desperately Shi Helin would make him change his mind if he really left this time. But he is really determined to follow Shen Wen to the border, and he won't change his mind. He didn't want to face the pain of parting, so he left a book and fled, but he still let the master chase him!

Duan Zeng stammered: "Master..."

Shi Helin was worried that Duan Zeng turned around immediately and ran away, but now he heard Duan Zeng calling him, and said that the child hadn't lost his conscience, so he immediately raised his head: "Don't call me a master! I can't afford it! For so many years, how I am Sad so sad..."

Duan Zeng sighed: "Master, I'm sorry. But I really have to go..."

Shi Helin looked at Su Chuanya and wiped the bottom of his eyes with his sleeve: "Xiaoya! I'm telling you the truth, in fact, the master has no family..."

Duan Dengzhan was shocked: "Ah! Every year the master said that he would bring money to the family and borrow money from me!"

Shi Helin ignored Duan Zeng and continued to say to Su Chuanya: "Those silvers are hidden and will be used by your seniors in marriage. I will tell you where, in case, the master is dead..."

Duan Zeng lost his voice: "Master! Don't talk nonsense!"

Shi Helin turned his face: "What is nonsense? I'm so old! My hair is gray! I can live for a few years."

This time, even Su Chuanya felt that it was not true: "Master, your hair is actually not white, it's just a little bald...oh no, it's scarce."

Shi Helin looked at Su Chuanya: "Let me tell you, when I first met your brother, I had thick black hair! Look, how white is now, you know how much I worry about your brother Right!"

Duan Zeng's arguing heart rose again: "Is that for me, so many patients!"

Shi Helin looked at Duan Zeng: "Did I save money for the patient? Did I cook for the patient and make clothes? Have the patient quarreled with me every day!"

Duan Zeng weakly said to Shi Helin: "Master, I'm sorry..."

Shi Helin said angrily: "Except for a painless and itchy sorry, what else can you do! Ah! Just open your mouth and say sorry!"

Duan Zeng frowned, "Then what do you tell me to do, I won't go back!"

Su Chuanya said in time: "Then we won't go back! Just follow you!"

Duan Zeng's eyes widened: "Then how come we are going to be so far away, the master is old, and you are so young, you can't go that far!"

Shi Helin face up to the sky: "I will walk to the side of the road when I can't walk, silently..."

Duan Zeng didn't expect Shi Helin to have such annoying poetic sentiments, so he interrupted and said, "Master! Don't just talk about it all the time!"

Su Chuanya explained: "Brother, you are the heart of the master, you are gone, the master is...uncomfortable..."

Shi Helin cried loudly: "Unconscionable white-eyed wolf! I have no apprentice! No more!"

Duan Zeng was going crazy, stomping his feet back and forth on the ground anxiously, and said, "This is not something I can decide! Can others agree..."

Shi Helin immediately stopped sighing, and said to Duan Zeng: "Why do others say what you think!"

Since being picked up by Shi Helin, Duan Zeng has never left Shi Helin, and he naturally has a sense of belonging psychologically. For these three or four days, I’ve been rushing around alone, so why didn’t I miss the master Duan Zeng who had been together for many years, hesitatingly said: "If there is a saying that we can go together, then I naturally like it..."

Shi Helin immediately stretched his frown and snorted: "It's still a conscientious little...wolf!"

Su Chuanya also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, as long as the other side agrees, we will go together!"

Duan Zeng frowned and looked at Su Chuanya: "The master can walk with me. You definitely can't. How old can you walk thousands of miles."

Shi Helin now looks at Su Chuanya: "You are indeed a little younger..."

Su Chuanya jumped up and said, "Master wants to cross the river to break the bridge! Even if I let my brother carry it on my back, I have to go together!"

Duan Zengang: "Who wants to carry you!"

Su Chuanya said eloquently, "The master never carried you on his back! Ah! Don't just go in and out, the mountains don’t turn, now you have to carry me! Otherwise, you’re ungrateful! If you ran away like this, I’ll pay. I didn't settle accounts with you..."

"Apprentices, don't make a noise..." Shi Helin got the answer he wanted, and now he started to talk about it.

There was a group of refugees on the road, in tattered clothes. All three of them stopped talking and looked over there, but no one paid attention. Duan Zeng thought that the Hou Mansion's motorcade should at least be neat and tidy.

Just heard a scream: "Xiaoya! Why are you here!"

A woman jumped out of a car and trot over here.

Su Chuanya opened her mouth: "Sister! You...you are not...married!"

Su Wanniang panted to her, she stretched out her hand to pick up Su Chuanya's ear: "You know it will add trouble to me! What are you doing here! Say!"

Su Chuanya was inadvertently carried in surprise, and cried loudly: "The master brought me here! You said you want me to listen to the master! We came with Brother Duan!..."

Duan Zenggang wants to deny it, but it's right to think about it-they didn't follow him

The convoy stopped at the side of the road, and Shen Wenyan and Zhang Yunzheng came over together.

Duan Zeng was a little embarrassed, but Shi Helin took the initiative to salute: "Shen Er...little brother", he saw the boy in Shen Wen's beggar costume, changed his words: "We discovered Duan Zeng's plan, so we took the city's medical clinic It’s closed, the house is sealed, and go with him. Just now, he agreed!"

Originally, Shen Wen only intended to pick up Duan Zeng, but he saw Shi Helin and Su Chuanya, both carrying large parcels. A pot of medicine was even hung outside Shi Helin's package, which clearly meant leaving his hometown completely. Encountered this situation, Shen Wen was a bit unable to react, frowning and thinking: "In fact, doctors are needed everywhere, but the journey is far away, Shi Langzhong's body..."

Shi Helin hurriedly said: "My body is very good! The doctor, naturally knows how to take care of the body! Moreover, movement produces yang, and people should be walking around in the first place!"

Shen Wen nodded, and Shi Helin immediately saluted Zhang Yunzheng and Yan Shi happily and introduced himself: "My name is Shi..."

Duan Zeng put his heart down, followed Shi Helin, met with Zhang Yunzheng and Yan, and gave each other their surnames.

Zhang Yunzheng has never seen Duan Zeng, seeing him so young, and knowing Shen Wen, paying special attention to him, but his face is faint.

Su Wanniang over there said sternly to Su Chuanya: "You can't mess around! We can't take you where we are going!"

Su Chuanya burst into tears: "You just want to leave me alone! My parents are dead, and my family is only you. If you don't care about me, I will die too! Wow..."

Su Wanniang's eyes turned red, let go, and said angrily: "How old are you! You are still so naive! We are going to a far place, you are a child, how come we have to find someone to take care of you!"

Su Chuanya jumped wildly: "I won't go back to the capital! I quit my studies, and we don’t have a house to live in! I will follow you! If you dare to drive me away, I will wander around and let you find it again. Not me! Wow..."

Su Wanniang was so anxious that she raised her hand to hit Su Chuanya, but she couldn't get her hand down.

Shen Wen was also worried, and said to Su Wanniang: "I can't send him back now..."

Yan suddenly said: "Then send him to my cousin! Anyway, it is going to the north, in the same direction as Border Pass."

Su Wanniang's eyes lit up: "Your cousin Ji Wenzhao's wife"

Shi Helin repeatedly asked: "Who is this Ji Wenzhao?"

Shen Wen pointed to Yan's and said, "This is my second wife, now called Uncle Yan..."

Duan Zeng said: "Ji Wenzhao, you didn't know it was the one who played chess!"

Shi Helin twisted his beard and asked the Yan family: "You are the second wife of Shen. Your cousin married Ji Wenzhao."

Yan nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin is very patient and will definitely take care of him. Doesn't my grandfather have a school? Just let him go to school with those children."

Su Wanniang exclaimed: "Oh! How can it be called a school, it's called a college, and it was opened by Old Master Yan Jing..." When I wanted to contact Ji Wenzhao, she knew his background.

Shi Helin nodded again and again: "I've heard of Yan's Academy, it's a famous academy!"

Yan waved his hand: "It's all the same, it's just a place for children to study."

Su Wanniang frowned: "I heard that it's not easy to get in! You have to be some kind of child prodigy, passed the rural exam or something."

Yan said: "It's okay! Let my cousin, my brother Ji, just say it."

Shen Wen suspected: "But that is not Ji Wenzhao's academy, it belongs to Old Master Yan. I heard that Ji Wenzhao's parents also asked Mr. Yan for a long time in order to get Ji Wenzhao to vote with Master Yan..."

Yan snorted and said, "My grandfather loves to carry it very much. In fact, he had heard of Senior Brother Ji a long time ago, and he liked it so much. The trustee turned a corner and told his parents to send people over. The parents will come. Yes, he put a score there for a long time before accepting the people. But the night that Senior Brother Ji arrived, he asked Senior Brother Ji to play chess, and the two of them chatted for half the night. You see that he took my cousin Given it, we can see that we value Senior Brother Ji more. Senior Brother Ji opened his mouth. Can he disagree that the entire college is full of people, and how can one more and one less hurt feelings for a teenage child."

Su Wanniang is still not sure: "Will Ji Wenzhao say this?"

Yan's management: "Senior Brother Ji listens to my cousin, and my cousin listens to me! Don't worry, when I tell my cousin, this will definitely happen!"

Su Wanniang asked Shen Wen: "What do you think?"

Shen Wen thought: She was going to walk a long way from the east coast to avoid the main disaster area. If you go to Yan Jing's academy, you will deviate from the path she originally set, but it is actually a closer path. It’s just starting from the Yanjing Academy, and you have to go through the disaster area to get to the wine cellar. It doesn’t matter. If you don’t go to Yanjing Academy, how to arrange Su Chuanya will definitely not take him to the border. He is too young, and in winter. He is about to come, he can’t stand the severe cold...Moreover, Yan Jing’s academy is indeed very famous. Like a key school in the future, if Su Chuanya can enter, even if he is well-known as a teacher, he will have a background as an official in the imperial examination. Su Wanniang will be very happy...

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Just do it."

Su Wanniang said with joy and loss: "That's great!" If her younger brother can enter the college, she will have no worries at all.

Su Chuanya shook her head: "It's too bad! I want to go with you!"

Su Wanniang said sharply: "That's one of the best academies. You can go in and accumulate great virtues for a lifetime! If you dare not be obedient! I'll pull your ears off!"

Su Chuanya continued to cry: "You pull you...you don't hurt me at all..."

Zhang Yunzheng said impatiently: "Get in the car and get on the car, so standing on the side of the road is nothing." He turned his head and said to Shen Wen: "Look, fortunately I brought four carriages! If you say, only two. It's not enough."

Shen Wen was upset by Su Chuanya, sighed, and said softly to Zhang Yunzheng: "You are so smart, thank you so much."

Duan Zeng dismissed Shen Wen: "Why are you still talking like this..."

Zhang Yunzheng said viciously to Duan Zeng: "What's wrong with her talking like this!"

Duan Zeng curled his lips: "Like a little girl, not growing up."

Zhang Yunzheng stared: "What if you don't grow up!"

Duan Zeng frowned and looked at Zhang Yunzheng: "I don't think you have grown up!"

Zhang Yunzheng went back: "You didn't grow up!"

Su Chuanya turned her head and shouted: "I haven't grown up either! I'm not growing up!"...

Shi Helin opened his hand again: "Apprentices! Children! Stop fighting! Get in the car!"

Everyone rushed into the carriage, Shi Helin and Duan Zeng, Shen Wen, Yan clan, Su Wanniang sister and brother, and the group headed for the imperial mausoleum in the northwest.

There was a garrison guard next to the imperial tomb, and Shen Wen and his party did not get too close, sleeping overnight in the forest outside the guard. Zhang Yunzheng's people went to the surrounding villages, and by the reason of buying some water and hay, they chatted and knew that there was a prince guarding the royal tombs around. The villagers probably knew the direction, so they followed a few gossips.

The night at the end of autumn was not too cold. Everyone was sitting in a drapery surrounded by four cars. Shen Wen set up tasks for tomorrow: "Shi Langzhong will pretend to be a quack doctor. Go to the villages over there and take a look. Can you find out where the fourth prince lives."

Shi Helin twirled his beard, glanced at Duan Zeng triumphantly, and said, "I can definitely inquire. I'm so sophisticated and mature, and I'm very reliable."

Duan Zeng kept his mouth flat, rarely arguing.

Shen Wen sat with Su Wanniang on one side, and Yan Shi, who was disguised as a man on the other. Su Chuanya was next to Su Wanniang, and she tried her best to probe Shen Wen's side and said, "I will go with Master, and I can help you inquire."

Shen Wen smiled happily: "The little dumb is so smart! Well, maybe it shouldn't be called the little dumb, let's call Xiaoya..."

Everyone laughed: "Isn't that still a little dumb?"

Su Chuanya said beautifully: "It's okay, it's good for you to call me a little dumb."

Zhang Yunzheng frowned, looking at Su Chuanya, thinking that if he finds fault and beats a teenage child, he really can't do anything, but how can he cure this kid, he is always close to Shen Wen.

Yan Shi was now anxious to go to the border, and asked: "We have to stop here for a few days."

Shen Wen smiled: "Uncle Yan, don't worry, we have time. As long as we find a place, let Xiaoge Zhang deliver the package at night, we can leave the next day."

Su Wanniang's face was a little red, she bit her lip and said nothing.

In addition to eating and sleeping every day, the four princes stand, play chess, and read books. He had lived a life like this in the past, but now that he has more stances, he feels that life is much better than last time. He has been able to stand for half an hour in the morning and evening, motionless, calm, and physically and mentally comfortable.

After standing this morning, the fourth prince sweated slightly. He wiped his face and then walked out of the house without pretending to be lame.

Standing in the small courtyard of the back house, watching the sunshine on the ground in the early morning, smelling the fresh air in the country, and listening to the voices of the distant villages, the four princes tried hard to make themselves feel that life is good. At the beginning, King Zhou Wen knew that he would be imprisoned when he went to Kyoto, so he went to jail and compiled the Book of Changes. It can be seen that there is no end to the end, only people's hearts are unknown...

The front courtyard door rang, and the attendant Ding Nei greeted the soldiers, as if closing the door again.

However, the attendant Ding Nai walked to the backyard carrying a basket and said to the four princes: "Good morning, Your Highness."

The fourth prince sighed: "How many times have you called me Young Master Jiang."

Ding Neiji smiled: "My son, I want to buy some vegetables in the village ahead. It's really expensive. A radish costs one or two silver! Last time I paid one or two. This is really a robbery. Fortunately, we don't have to buy it often, Jiang. The gift from the government is almost enough..."

The fourth prince interrupted: "Did you hear any news from Beijing?"

The attendant Ding waited for a while and leaned in and said in a low voice: "I heard that in the capital, Miss Shen from the Zhenbei Houfu went to the temple to pray for rain, and also made a great wish. The drought is incomprehensible, so she won't go out of the temple. Then Shen We also know the second lady. If she goes to the temple, then..." Su Wanniang must have followed.

Nei Attendant Ding said with some worry: "His Royal Highness, this drought has been more than three years, if it is about to pass, but in case it goes on for two or three years, then Miss Shen Er will have to live in the temple for two or three years. ..." Su Wanniang didn't have to guard Ding Naishi in the temple and sighed: "That second Miss Shen is really ignorant! Why should I go to the temple if I have nothing to do, set up a Buddhist niche at home and worship it? "

Maybe it was just after standing, the fourth prince was very clear-headed, he thought for a moment, and whispered: "You often go around outside these days and see..." He didn't finish.

Naibu Ding nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go and find out for you, and see if there is any other letter."

In fact, the four princes did not mean this. He believed that Miss Shen Er was a puppet in the hands of an invisible man in the northern town of Houfu. She asked to live in the temple for no reason. Su Wanniang was naturally with her. It is because she needs a long time to live until the drought has passed. It takes such a long time to travel long distances.

The fourth prince had an extremely slim hope in his heart-maybe, really maybe, Su Wanniang would come to see herself... the thought of this possibility, the fourth prince's heartbeat made him panic. The self-satisfaction of those who knew the heavens and fate was replaced by turbulent expectations, but he did not dare to show a little bit: this hope is too fragile, he can not resort to the mouth, lest he speaks out, this hope will be It was blown away by the wind.

A few days later, Ding Nei's attendant came back from the outside and saw the fourth prince who was helping sweeping the floor in the yard. He quickly grabbed the broom from the fourth prince's hand, pulled the fourth prince into the house, and closed the door with his backhand.

The fourth prince said: "I said in the book that sweeping the floor is good for stretching the limbs and keeping fit..."

Ding Naibu hurriedly said in a low voice: "I saw the younger brother of Shi Langzhong and Su Niangzi!"

"Ah!" the fourth prince blurted out in exclamation, and the two went to the door and the window to listen to the movement. This is not a palace, there are few people around, it's very quiet.

The fourth prince asked in a low voice: "Did you say hello?"

Ding Naibu shook his head: "There are soldiers next to me, they all know me. That Shi Langzhong also saw me, but he didn't come up. He just kept surrounded by me, I think he should have seen me come in from a distance."

The four princes were excited, and clasped their hands together: "They actually came, and they really came."

Waiter Ding asked: "Who is Ms. Su?"

The four princes nodded: "Of course, you think she treats her brother so much. Her brother is only eleven. She will definitely not let her brother go out of Beijing, and she will not be able to follow the master. Her brother is here, and she must be there too. Nearby..." The fourth prince showed a smile on his face, and also blushed.

Naibu Ding also smiled: "That's true, that's true, so good, so good..." He looked anxiously: "We have nothing here! We can eat and drink..."

The fourth prince hurried to find the package, and said: "I'm carrying that hosta! Look, I know..."

Ding Naibu helped the four princes find a small jewelry box from a few packages. The fourth prince took out the small box containing the hosta and held it in his hand. Instead of reading a book and playing chess, he sat under the window and looked at the courtyard. With a smile on the bluestone slab, he began to daze.

But Naibu Ding still went to boil water for cooking, and occasionally visited the four princes at the door, surprised that the four princes could sit so wandering around the world for a long time, but they did not sprout.

The four princes waited for a day, the sun went down to the west, and the moon went up to the east. Not only was he not discouraged, but he was more energetic. Wearing a jacket and moving a chair, he sat down in the yard and looked up at the sky, so that the servant Ding had to wear big winter clothes to accompany him outside.

The four princes did not wait in vain. At midnight, a dark shadow emerged from the wall. When he probed the courtyard, he saw the two waiting people. When the black shadow side hesitated, Ding Nei waiter hurriedly recruited.

Under the moonlight, the black shadow suddenly jumped off the wall and arrived in front of the fourth prince. The four princes got up excitedly and raised their hands to salute, feeling that the night had suddenly turned into broad daylight, and the other party's body was bright. Although the person in front of him had scars on his face, he still recognized that this was the young man who beat Fire Luo that year.

Zhang Yunzheng couldn't resist the warm welcome, and he hurriedly returned the salute without speaking much. He untied a small package from his back and handed it to the four princes. Then he bowed his salute and was about to leave.

The fourth prince was anxious: "Wait!"

Zhang Yunzheng stopped and looked at the four princes puzzled. His task was to deliver things, and he was not prepared to say anything to the four princes, so he was very cautious and didn't want to talk too much.
