Chapter 11 Reunion after a long absence

All the prosperity in the world is for profit, and the noise in the world is all for profit.Just after the New Year's Eve, the capital quickly became lively again, and there was a constant flow of goods from the south to the north, and the goods from the north and the south were mixed together.Situ Tianxun has not given up on the pursuit of the thieves, he believes that they still have accomplices hiding in the city.This day he had nothing to do while walking on the street and ran into Liang Ke by chance. He came back for the first time when he went out to learn martial arts. He knew him when he was 15 years old. At that time, almost everyone praised him as an amazing talent. He didn't believe the handsome man until he saw him.Liang Ke saw him coming from a distance, so he slowed down and waited for him to come up, then he said politely: "Hello, Second Master." Situ Tianxun responded to him: "Hello, Master Liang, I wonder where Master Liang is going?" Liang Ke Said softly: "I don't know, just walk around casually, where is the second son going?" Situ Tianxun said: "I'm just walking around casually." Said: "Very good." So the two walked and chatted, Liang Kexian asked cautiously: "I heard that the second son and Princess Zhao Ya have a marriage contract, I wonder when the second son is going to get married?" Situ Tianxun had heard the rumor before that Liang The relationship between Ke and Zhao Ya is unusual. Now that he heard him ask this question, his heart became clearer. He thought to himself: "Liang Ke, even if I, Situ Tianxun, don't marry her, Zhao Ya just relies on you as a scholar, how can you get into the eyes of the old prince? It's better for you to retreat when you face difficulties." Although he thought of this in his heart, he said: "Why did Mr. Liang care so much about his subordinates, or is he concerned about someone else?" Liang Ke thought he saw something A little nervously said: "No, I'm just curious." Situ Tianxun said intentionally: "That's the best, if you still have something on your mind, it's not good, sir?" "No, the second son and the daughter of the princess are a match made in heaven. I congratulate the two of you to grow old together." Although he said this, anyone with a heart could hear that he was insincere. A voice came from behind and said: "Second brother, brother Liang..." The two turned their heads and saw that it was Situ Tianrou and Situ Tianyou. She ran over happily and said, "Why did you get together? Where are you going?" Huh?" Situ Tianxun said: "Sister, we just met by chance and walked along the same road without going anywhere. How did you come back?" Situ Tianyou caught up and interjected: "We stayed at home and came out to have a look when we were bored. I met a strange person, he behaved strangely and disappeared in a blink of an eye. We followed all the way here and disappeared. By the way, the Changle Inn is in front of you. Do you want to go and have a cup of tea?" His words integrated Situ Tianxun Xinyi said: "Okay, Mr. Liang, let's go together!" Liang Ke smiled and said: "Being respectful is better than obeying orders." So the four of them quickly came to Changle Inn.

As soon as he entered the door, Situ Tianrou was startled and said: "The three of them are there." Situ Tianyou said: "Hold down, let him run away to see what you do?" Unexpectedly, the man turned around and smiled at the two of them: " The two of you should be thirsty now that you are with me, Hu Niancheng hurry up and make a pot of tea for the two honored guests." Hu Niancheng looked back and saw that they were the ones rushing forward and said: "The four of you will be ready for tea soon." After speaking, she went to make tea, and the four of them came in and sat at a table with that person.Situ Tianyou saw that he was dressed in rough linen clothes, his hands were rough, and his deep eyes were piercing, and he said: "Although the clothes are a bit ragged, he is still good-looking, neither Liang Ke is too handsome nor the second brother looks cold, he is grown up." This just makes up for the shortcomings of the two of you." The man said again: "Why are you two following me?" Situ Tianrou said with a nympho: "No, we didn't follow you, I really don't believe you if you ask me Third brother." Situ Tianyou looked like he had nothing to do with him, the man smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it, anyway, I don't mind having a little beauty with me." Situ Tianxun's expression sank when he heard that he was so frivolous It seemed to be warning him, but he said even more unscrupulously: "Is the little girl free tonight? How about we have dinner together? I forgot to tell you that I am an old acquaintance with the guy named Hu Niancheng just now. Is it okay to have dinner with her?" Send something. How about it, is the little beauty interested?" Situ Tianxun said solemnly: "Please pay attention to your words and deeds, sir, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The man "tsk tsk" said: "Is this young master jealous?" The four of them Hearing that his face was so ugly, Hu Niancheng came over to put down the tea and reminded him: "Hua Man's family is brother and sister, why are they so jealous, they don't have any eyesight." The man was a little embarrassed and said: "I see, the girl is really sorry. " Situ Tianrou said softly: "It's all right, nothing at all." Situ Tianyou asked Hu Niancheng with a puzzled face, "You know him, and you still call him a flower boy?" Hu Niancheng said, "I'm an old acquaintance, what's the matter? "Situ Tianyou said: "Hua Nan, don't you think this name is not very good?" Hu Niancheng said: "You don't know that this name is perfect for him." Why do you still remember, are you tired?" Hu Niancheng stared at him and said, "It's over for you, but it's definitely unforgettable for me. How dare I forget it, don't you think so?" Hua Nan had to say "Okay, I'll make it up to you. Go to work, I have something to do with you tonight, hurry up, I'm busy." Hu Nian gave him a clear look and said, "It's long-winded." Then she left, Situ Tian Seeing the intimate words and deeds of the two, Xun was already a little unhappy in his heart.Liang Ke poured a cup of tea and took a sip before leaving. After he left, the flower boy also left.Situ Tianyou shook his hands in front of Situ Tianrou and said, "It's almost enough to be an idiot, and it's not over yet. Let me tell you that a man with a smooth tongue is not a good thing at first sight. Sister, stay away from him in the future." Situ Tianju said: "Third brother, you say that people are glib, and you can't walk when you see no one. You have the face to say that I might as well take care of myself." Situ Tianyou defended: "I don't appreciate it like you The saliva is about to flow out, you are not ashamed of a girl's family, I will blush for you, second brother, do you think so?" Situ Tianxun said in a magical way: "What did you say?" Situ Tianyou said: "Second brother, let's talk again What's wrong with that man called Hua Nan? He's absent-minded, are you okay?" Situ Tianxun said: "It's okay, I'm just curious how Hu Niancheng would know such a person." Situ Tianrou shook his head and said: "Second brother, why are you so focused Regarding that woman, don’t forget that you already have a fiancée and you’re a great beauty, you’re not so stupid as to love ugly women but not beautiful ones, are you?” Situ Tianxun said nothing, and Situ Tianyou said: “Sister’s feelings are such a thing. It's hard to say let the second brother go, and besides, he may not be interested in our second brother, you have seen that Hu Niancheng is either indifferent to our second brother or indifferent, what can he do." Situ Tianju said: "That's true, but if the second brother doesn't have Zhao Ya, I can still accept her."

In the evening, the lights of Wanjia are brightly lit. Hu Niancheng sat on the roof of the inn and looked at the vast night. Thinking of all the things that happened when he came in, he was puzzled and said: "We only met this flower boy once, and that time he took me as a dead ghost. It's weird to blame him. How can you still recognize me? After all, I have turned into such a ghost. Recently, I was first recognized by the Situ family and his son. Later, in order to further investigate my identity, Situ Tianxun approached me every now and then. Could it be that his appearance is so It's related to my identity, I'm getting more and more confused now, who am I? Could it be the princess, then why didn't my grandfather and mother send me back after so many years, it's just because the old prince opposed my father And mother? No, there must be something I don’t know about it. Forget it, I can’t care so much, it’s better to find out the identity of the flower boy first, and talk to him casually to dispel his wariness towards me "Thinking of this, she calmed down and waited for the flower boy's arrival calmly. After a while, the flower boy arrived as promised, so the two began to chat on the roof of the inn. The flower boy asked first: "Tell me, how do you do it? Is it like this?" Hu Niancheng said calmly: "It's not your masterpiece, if it wasn't for you, I would have been caught?" Hua Nan said with some guilt: "Sorry, are you still blaming me? Tell me how I want to compensate you, As long as I can do it, I will help you." Hu Niancheng said: "Okay, then tell me honestly, have you been following me recently?" Hua Nan said honestly: "Okay, I admit that I followed you, but it can't be my fault, I don't Of course you have to observe secretly." Hu Niancheng asked solemnly: "Then you followed me a few times, and when did it happen?" Hua Nan thought for a while and said: "Once or twice, the specific time I don’t remember. What’s the matter, there are still people following you, tell me the truth, did you offend someone?” Hu Niancheng shook his head and said, “No, maybe I was wrong.” Hua Nan breathed a sigh of relief: “Then Okay, yes, I heard that some time ago, I helped the government to catch thieves." Hu Niancheng remembered that he had stolen other people's things before and thought he was still a thief, so she asked him: "Why are you also one of them? There are so many people, why don’t you come here!” Hua Nan said: “Don’t make it so ugly, I’m still a pretty man, right? Call me a dog, you have really poor eyesight. To tell you the truth, I am indeed them. I'm one of them, but I didn't steal anything. I just followed them to make a living, and besides, I don't have the guts to rely on my three-legged cat kung fu." Hu Niancheng said with contempt: "No Good luck, why don't you just do something serious?" But she quickly changed to another tone and said: "It's good to have something to eat when the world is hard, it's not easy for you, it's not easy! "Hua Nan laughed at her and said: "You are really fickle. You despised me just now and immediately started to sympathize with me. What good do you want me to say about you? Forget it, let's not talk about you." Hu Niancheng He asked again: "What are you planning to do when you come to the capital this time, do you want to stay and find something to do?" The flower man shook his head and sighed: "The world is difficult and I don't know a few words. What can I do? Can I rely on my face? Have enough to eat? I came here mainly to find out whether they lost or won the bet. In fact, whether they win or lose is none of my business. "Hu Niancheng laughed and said: "Cheer up and there will always be a way out, and among the four people you saw during the day, there is one in white clothes, you have to be careful about him, this person is very likely that the city government has been chasing down the thieves." Hua Nan said: "Don't worry, I'm going to abandon the dark and turn to the bright."Some time ago, I met a friend who was about to take a job in Beijing. I helped him and he promised that I would let me be his attendant. You can rest assured that I will work hard and be successful in the future. Just wait and enjoy the blessings with me! "Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "Okay, then I will let my son come to your place every day to eat and drink to see what you do. The flower man said in surprise: "No way, who would dare to marry you after you are like this? It's really courageous. Let me know someday." Hu Nian gave him a clear look and said: "What do you mean, I have become ugly but there are many people who want to marry me, just kidding."Radish is my adopted son, who is raised for old age. "Hua Nan laughed and said: "I'll just say, how could you marry casually.By the way, do you know the girl who stared at me with an idiot face today? Her round face and big eyes are so cute, which suits my taste. "Hu Niancheng warned him: "I advise you to stop being petty in your heart, you must know that she is the daughter of General Situ, and you, a little rascal, can be admired by others.Don't worry, live a down-to-earth life and find a girl who can live a normal life. Of course, if you are good-looking, you can't find an ugly one like me. The flower boy laughed and said, "Okay, when did you become a mother-in-law?"I've been through so much, I've been through so much and I know what I'm doing. Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "That's good, I hope you live well." "Hua Nan nodded and said: "Thank you, you are the same. "

Since Situ Tianxun met Huanan, he always felt that something was wrong. He sat alone in the yard and couldn't figure out why someone would be eyeing Hu Niancheng at this time.Looking at the vast night sky, he felt at a loss, and then thought: "Could it be because we found out her identity and got too close to her? If so, wouldn't I have harmed her? No, I can't watch her have an accident. It must not be a coincidence that Hua Nan appeared at this time. I must find out what his origin is, and what is the purpose of approaching Hu Niancheng. By the way, Hu Niancheng said that someone seems to be following her recently, and I have to investigate this matter carefully. "Soon the moon will be on the top of the willow, and the shadows of the trees will be mottled. Situ Tianxun will soon return to his room to rest.

However, Hu Niancheng is not as simple as it looks on the surface, she has become more cautious after many things.The appearance of the flower boy aroused her suspicion even more, she tossed and turned and said, "It's strange, he doesn't seem to be suspicious, but why did this flower picker come to see me? Why is it so important at this time? It's not a coincidence. To say how cunning and ruthless he was when he betrayed me three years ago, how can he think of me, and it's unbelievable that he can get this way with his smooth tongue. Maybe he got something The news came close to me on purpose. Thinking about it this way, many things make sense. He is probably someone who killed my mother and grandfather. Situ Tianxun, your family really killed me, if it weren’t for you Can there be so many things close to me? Too many things, it seems that tomorrow I have to discuss with Situ Tianxun what to do, since you are here, Hua Nan, I, a good friend, will play with you." Thinking of this, she felt Lie down a little sleepy.

The next day, Hu Niancheng asked the shopkeeper Fatty to ask for leave. At first, he didn't allow it.Along the way, Hu Niancheng pondered in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to respond to Situ Tianxun's words.She hesitated and thought to herself: "Can I trust Situ Tianxun, a man? He treats me well only because I am his fiancée. If we put aside this relationship, what is his attitude towards me? It is derived from this relationship. Will the little goodwill I had with the broken relationship disappear? I have no confidence in myself at all. I don’t know why I’ve been so suspicious recently that I started to doubt my identity. Who am I? Is it doomed, why there are still so many doubts and turmoil, is it so difficult for me to live my life well?" Unknowingly, she soon arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, and she didn't know why she suddenly I felt a chill coming out from behind the majestic gate.When Xiaosi, the gatekeeper, saw her, he ran up respectfully and said, "Miss Hu, is she here to look for the second young master? He is practicing sword in the yard. Let me take you there." Hu Niancheng said politely, "Thank you, then we let's go."

After the two entered the gate, they turned right and walked onto a small path. There were various colorful flowers planted on both sides of the path. Behind the flowers were rows of emerald green bamboos, and the whole yard exuded a quiet atmosphere.The road under my feet gradually widened and I looked up. I could vaguely see the willow trees planted in the front yard. At this moment, Situ Shaofeng suddenly appeared. Take her there." Situ Shaofeng said: "I know you go down first, I have something to say to Miss Hu and I will lead her to see Tianxun later." Xiaosi said: "Yes." Then he returned along the road, Hu Niancheng hurriedly said: "General." Situ Shaofeng smiled when he saw her serious look, "Xiao Hu, you don't have to be so restrained here and treat this as your own home, you know?" Dare, I don’t know what the general wants to say to the girl?” Situ Shaofeng smiled and said, “See what you said, don’t be so reserved, you are really stubborn. Do I look fierce? Are you afraid of me? In Hu Niancheng's view, Situ Shaofeng's benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes make it difficult for people to connect him with the brave and majestic general who killed countless enemies, and this person in front of him is more like an amiable and knowledgeable literati.Hu Niancheng smiled slightly and said: "No." Situ Shaofeng said: "That's good, by the way, have you seen the idea I asked Tian Xun to give you last time, I have a bottle of medicine here that will be of great benefit to you. Take it As he said, he took out a white bottle from his arms and handed it to her, Hu Niancheng didn't want to ask: "Why is the general treating me so well, is it only because of someone?" Situ Shaofeng forced the bottle into her hand Li said: "You're right. As an uncle, I am ashamed of your father, but more of that I am ashamed of you for leaving you alone and wandering outside for so many years. But uncle can't send you back now because uncle There are still some things that have not been clarified, and Uncle is not sure whether your grandfather will recognize you now, I am sorry that Uncle is not good enough to make you suffer." Hu Niancheng did not expect that he would think so much for himself, she was moved by him He said gratefully: "General, thank you for doing so much for me. In fact, I don't want to go back at all. I am living a very good life now." Situ Shaofeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, you have to believe that Uncle will soon be able to return home." Do everything well so that you can go back safely." Hu Niancheng asked: "Is the general afraid that the enemies who harm my parents will come to harm me and want to catch them and let me go back." Situ Shaofeng nodded a little distracted Said: "Yes, Tian Xun is right in front. If you have anything to say, go and talk to him. Uncle has to leave first." Hu Niancheng said: "Okay, general, go slowly." He said to himself: "I don't know how many lifetimes my father has been blessed with a friend like him. It's really enviable."

At the end of the road, Hu Niancheng saw Situ Tianxun. At this moment, he was so absorbed in dancing his sword that he didn't notice her for a while.Hu Niancheng watched his move "Xuanniao Lushui" practiced superbly, and couldn't help sighing: "This man is a rare and rare man in martial arts, but he is a man like him. I don’t know what kind of woman can be subdued. But what does this have to do with me? He is just a promise to me. What else do we have? Nothing, I’m just an ugly monster and a shop assistant.” Suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder and said: "What are you thinking?" When Hu Niancheng looked up, he saw that his smile was so bright and warm as the sun, which was also fascinating, but she quickly recovered and said: "It's nothing, you practice swordsmanship." Okay, I have something to tell you." Situ Tianxun said with a smile, "I wanted to practice for a while, but I had to accompany you first when you came." Hu Niancheng smiled slightly: "You are blaming me, Then I'll go." As she said she pretended to raise her legs to leave, Situ Tianxun hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm joking with you. Let's sit down and talk if we have anything to say." Hu Niancheng said: "Okay."

So the two found a clean place and sat down, Hu Niancheng first said: "The flower boy came to me suddenly, we talked a lot last night, but I think he has another purpose and it may be related to my identity." Situ Tian Xun heard that the two had a long talk last night and said, "Hua Nan, it's really unique that you gave him a nickname." Hu Niancheng opened his eyes wide in shock and said, "Nickname? Situ Tianxun, what are you thinking about?" Well, are you a man who is in love all day long? Let me tell you, that man is a thief. Betrayed me and got caught by them. I didn’t know his name at the time, and when I got angry, I called him a flower boy, and then I got used to calling him a flower boy.” Situ Tianxun said: “So it’s like this, you said His coming may be related to your identity, so do you have any evidence to support it?" Hu Niancheng thought for a while and said: "No, but my intuition tells me that this person's purpose of approaching me is not simple, just like yours." Situ Tianxun was a little angry He said: "Why do you compare me with him? Are we on the same level? You just compare? And aren't you my fiancée? I approach you to cultivate a relationship so that we can live in harmony when we get married in the future." Hu Niancheng was a little impatient Said: "You are close to me because of my identity. If you want to marry me, I want to say that if there is no relationship between us, would you still marry me? Will you go against your father's wishes and dissolve your relationship with the princess?" Will you marry me?" Situ Tianxun was silent, Hu Niancheng shook his head and said: "That's right, you want to be a filial son and a so-called good man who values ​​love and righteousness. What can you do for me? I can't do anything. I came to you today because I want you to help find out Hua Nan's identity, find out whether he has anything to do with the person who killed my mother and grandfather, and what purpose he has for approaching me." Situ Tianxun said angrily: "I promise You, although I have a lot of things I can't help but have to do, but I will try my best to help you, after all, I still have some thoughts about you." Hu Niancheng said: "Okay, I understand, thank you for helping me. I'm going back and you practice your sword." After she got up and left, Situ Tianxun suddenly felt very lost when she saw her going away.
