Prince Consort

The clouds opened and the moon sank, and the sky suddenly appeared.

One big and one small put away similar zama stances in the morning light.

Yan Chong stretched out his hand and patted Xie Zean on the shoulder: "You are not bad, you can last for such a long time for the first time."

Xie Ze'an's legs were heavy, sore and numb as if they were filled with lead, they didn't look like a part of his own body at all, so he staggered back in embarrassment after being slapped by Yan Chong suddenly, and almost fell to the ground.

His small face was wrinkled, and he complained, "It's not that Brother Yan, you don't want to stop."

Yan Chong's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "There are not many children like you who can suffer so much these days, if I didn't come out on business this time, I would definitely take you by my side to teach for a few more days. "

Xie Ze'an asked, "What errand does Brother Yan want to do?"

Yan Chong said: "Go to the front to pick up someone, it's not convenient for someone to tell you, anyway, the errand is very tight." He asked Xie Ze'an, "Sanlang, where are you going?"

Xie Ze'an said, "My aunt and I will go to Beijing."

Yan Chong said: "It's a coincidence, I'm going back to Beijing after picking up someone. If you walk slowly, we might still run into each other."

Xie Ze'an raised his small fist towards Yan Chong: "Then we will see you later."

Yan Chong heard Xie Ze'an's tone of seeing or leaving, and felt that Xie Ze'an was very interesting.He raised his fist and touched Xie Zean in the air, and invited with a smile: "Don't look back, let's have breakfast together first, big brother invites you."

Yan Chong led Xie Ze'an into the kitchen without knowing the way.

Seeing Yan Chong approaching, the clerk inside immediately cheered up and responded: "Is the guest officer hungry? Tell us to send it to the room."

Yan Chong said: "Don't be so troublesome, I like to eat hot food. Bring me any delicious food, and the portion is bigger. I just finished training with this little brother, and I won't be full without it." Said Then he threw an ingot of broken silver on the table as payment in advance.

After sitting down, Xie Zean remembered that he was not alone now, and said to Yan Chong: "Brother Yan, I have been out for a long time, so I have to go back and talk to Aniang and the others first."

Yan Chong swept him meaningfully: "Success is success, but Sanlang, can you walk now?"

Xie Ze'an was wondering why Yan Chong said that, and just about to stand up and answer "Of course I can walk", but found that his hands and feet were numb, and he didn't listen to his command at all.

Yan Chong laughed straight: "Your boy has been carrying it hard just now, it will be strange if you can move after you rest, don't think about anything else, eat more to have strength."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Yan Chong said: "Which room does your aunt live in? I'll ask a cook to deliver a message and bring your aunt something to eat by the way."

Xie Ze'an generously reported the room where the mother and son lived, and reminded without changing his face: "I still have a younger sister."

Yan Chong was taken aback for a moment, and then the way he looked at Xie Ze'an changed—it became brighter: "I just like you, Saburo, it's refreshing!" He waved to the nearby cook, and ordered her to send two copies. eat in the past.

Xie Ze'an said, "Thank you."

Yan Chong pushed the porridge brought by the waiter in front of Xie Zean, picked up the steamed buns that had just come out of the cage, put them into his mouth, and said while chewing: "Eat, don't be polite to the elder brother."

Xie Ze'an said with a smile: "Do I seem to be a polite person?"

The two began to sweep the food on the table with their belly open.

Xie Ze'an stopped eating about eight or nine percent full, and said to Yan Chong: "My stomach has been empty for too long, so I can't eat too much, Brother Yan, take it easy."

Yan Chong also stopped, glanced at Xie Ze'an, and said, "Sanlang, don't think that brother is busy if you ask me a few more questions. You are going to the capital, not a place that can be reached in an hour or two. Why are you the only ones here?" Orphans and widows travel so far? Where are the men in your family?"

Xie Ze'an smiled and said, "I'm not a man."

Yan Chong said, "It's fine if it's not convenient, I won't ask." He asked another question, "There is still half a month's journey to the capital, have you bothered enough?"

Xie Ze'an said: "It should be enough." He said without shame: "Even if it's not enough, Brother Yan, don't worry, I've already recovered from my illness, I have hands and feet, so why don't you have no money!"

What he said was eloquent, Yan Chong himself was a heroic person, so of course he appreciated it greatly after hearing it.He clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay! Then I won't say more. If there is no other way, you can send me a letter from the post station. If you don't know how to write, you can just send a message. I often travel this way to do business. Everyone at the station knows me."

Xie Zean readily agreed: "Definitely!"

After breakfast, Yan Chong had to go on his way, Xie Ze'an walked back to the room where Li Shi and Xie Xiaomei were staying.

Mrs. Li was watching Xie Xiaomei eating pancakes worriedly, but Xie Xiaomei didn't think too much about it. She ate and said, "Mother, it's so delicious! It smells so good! Is this pancakes! I saw the village chief's son eat it, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious!" Let’s eat it! Mom, why don’t you eat it if it’s so delicious?”

Xie stood quietly outside the door.

He had already seen from the physical conditions of the mother and child that they were poor, and after hearing what Xie Xiaomei said, he knew exactly how poor they were.

There is a "father" who is doing well in the capital city, but he can't even afford a pancake. It can be seen that the "father" has forgotten all about them.

What good can such a "father" call them to the capital with a letter?

Xie Zean pushed open the door and walked in.

Mrs. Li immediately stood up and asked with concern: "Where did you go, Sanlang? Who did you meet outside? Why did you make people spend so much money?"

Xie Ze'an said with a sullen face, "I didn't go anywhere, I just made a new friend. It's just a breakfast. When I have money, I will naturally pay him back ten or eight meals."

Li Shi always felt that her son seemed to be a different person after waking up.

But Mrs. Li didn't have time to think about it. Half a month had passed since she received the letter. The letter was so urgent that she had to bring her son to the capital as soon as possible.

If you slow down, Saburo won't be able to enter the Xie family tree!

Mrs. Li was anxious, and Xie Xiaomei carefully wrapped the unfinished pancakes and steamed buns as soon as she was full, and called Xie Ze'an and Xie Xiaomei to go on the road.

The three mother and son walked over all the way, and Xie Xiaomei's face was flushed from the cold, and there were small cracks on her skin, looking very pitiful.

Following Mrs. Li to the post station, Xie Ze'an couldn't help but said, "Let's hire a carriage, walking this way will freeze your feet."

Mrs. Li looked troubled.

At this time, Xie Ze'an saw a familiar guy coming up to meet him, and said, "Young official, the official of Yan has left a carriage for you, and I have been waiting here for a long time!"

Li Shi was taken aback, but Xie Zean was very calm.He thinks from the standpoint of an adult. In his opinion, the communication between people is based on the exchange of human feelings. Yan Chong treats him well, and he remembers it in his heart. up.

Xie Ze'an said to the man: "It's really troublesome, please lead us there."

Mrs. Li saw that Xie Zean and his assistant acted like a little adult when they responded, so she resisted the urge to ask questions on the spot, and waited until they got into the car before asking: "Sanlang, who is that official Yan?"

Xie Ze'an said: "I don't know who he is, he told me to call him Big Brother Yan." He looked down at the soles of his feet, the staff carefully spread a layer of straw on top, which can warm the feet, although it is not very effective , but better than nothing.

Xie Ze'an closed his eyes and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.

In this era, the balance of the carriage is poor, and it is very bumpy on the road. It should not be able to sleep.But Xie Ze'an had been practicing boxing with Yan Chong for so long, and his small body was a bit too much, so he fell asleep in a daze after a while.

Xie Ze'an vaguely dreamed about the past.

In the past, he was the son of a rapist, and his biological father was a heinous fugitive. When he fled, he looked for beautiful girls everywhere to "save seeds".

His mother was one of those unfortunate girls.

His mother insisted on giving birth to him.

Originally, his mother wanted to raise him well, but unfortunately in order to get married and start a new family, she could only obey the reality and throw him to another city according to the family's advice.

He was picked up by an old man who picked up waste, and the old and the young depended on each other to live.He hated the old man very much at first, and quarreled with the old man all day long. The old man told him to go east, but he wanted to go west. He never wanted to call the old man "Dad" properly.

In fact, he wanted to shout later, but he was too embarrassed to change his words, so he kept shouting "old man, old man".

Later, he felt that it was okay to live such a hard life all the time, and the father and son lived happily.

As a result, when he was 13 years old, the old man fell seriously ill and was about to die.

He could only go to his poor mother.

He chose to hurt that poor woman.

He threatened the other party and said, "If you don't pay me, I will publicize this matter to everyone."

The poor woman tried her best to give him the money.

As a result, the old man was so angry that he pulled out the needle and beat him severely. Since then, he refused to receive any more treatment and died not long after.

He made the mistake and got the most painful lesson.

Xie Zean slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at Xie Xiaomei and Li Shi who were snuggling together and talking, and opened the straw curtain to look out at the snowy sky.

The chilly wind poured in through the gap, instantly chilling the bones.

Xie Zean lifted his lips and smiled.

If God gave him three points of goodness, there must be seven points of malice hidden.

If so, then go ahead.

He was never afraid.

If he is good, he will accept it, but if he is malicious, he will naturally return it one by one!
