Looking back at Chonghuameng

After walking a few streets, the thunder became louder.

Jin Yang reached out his hand to touch his waist, and found that the money bag had disappeared, he frowned, and said in his heart: "There are so many thieves in Yongdu City, it seems that you have to report to the emperor and ask for rectification."

A flash of lightning flashed by, the thunder was louder, and the rain fell mercilessly.

Ziyun hurriedly pulled Jinyang to hide under the eaves, and said excitedly: "Princess, princess, this is the first rain this year."

Jin Yang stared at the cheerful first spring rain, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "The flowers bloom in the spring breeze, and the peaks are green when the rain rests."

Someone came with an umbrella, a dark green oiled paper umbrella, a lake green old cloth shirt, and old cloth boots.The man stood still in front of Jinyang, took out the money bag from his waist, and handed it to Jinyang.

The familiar scene is still the slender white hand, the somewhat worn lake green sleeve, and the pair of smiling but profound eyes.The footsteps of wandering around all night seemed to have finally found a reason to stop, and the heart that was out of control all night finally settled down.It turned out that the reason for making an exception and leaving the palace was to see this down-and-out young man again.

Jin Yang reached for the purse, and when his cold fingers touched Sang Luo's palm, there was a strange feeling.

Sang Luo touched his nose subconsciously, and said with a smile: "Although Yongdu is at the foot of the emperor, you should still pay attention to the belongings you carry with you."

Jin Yang nodded slightly, and said lightly: "It may be a coincidence that the first time I helped you, but is it also a coincidence the second time? Young master, do you dare to ask where this money bag comes from?"

Sang Luo raised his eyebrows, it seems that this person is very smart.If she told her that she knew someone who stole a purse and tripped her once by throwing a banana peel, would she get beaten up?With a light cough, he said, "Wandering around, I picked it up by chance."

"Oh?" Jin Yang asked with surprise on his face, "Then how did you know that the purse is mine?"

Sang Luo spread his hands and shrugged indifferently, and said, "I saw you lost it."

Jin Yang stared at Sang Luo with cold eyes, apparently not believing what she said.But if someone came back with good intentions, she has no reason to condemn it, right?Even if you really want to condemn it, it is groundless.She turned her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Young master is not ignorant of picking up money, he is of high moral character, if you dare to ask who is his name, you can come to the door to thank him in the next day."

Sang Luo rubbed his nose, thinking that no one in Yongdu City knew her, so he said his name and said with a smile: "If you come to visit, young master, remember to bring wine."

As he said, he stuffed the oil-paper umbrella into Jinyang's hand, "It seems that it will rain for a while, so I'll give you the umbrella."

Before Jin Yang could say his refusal, Sang Luo covered the rain with his sleeve and ran into the rain. The lake green figure gradually became hazy in the rain, hidden in the night.

Sang Luo, I have never heard of such a person.

Jin Yang looked at Ziyun and said, "Send someone to check if there is a person like Sang Luo in Yongdu City."

******

There is a small village not far from Yongdu City. Because there is a natural river in the village, it is named Lushui Village.There is a small house next to Huangguoshu in the west of the village, and this house is Sang Luo's temporary home.

Candles were burning in the house, shaking.

Sang Luo reclined on the bed, holding his head in one hand and holding a piece of ropa embroidered with plum blossoms in the other.

That night, why not give Ropa back together with the purse?

This question troubled Sanluo for three whole days.She couldn't figure it out, she planned to pay it back together, why didn't she pay it back at the last minute?He even ran away in the rain, for fear that others would find out that Ropa was missing and reach out to ask her for it.The texture of Ropa is very good, dyed with a light fragrance, and the plum blossoms embroidered on it are very delicate.All these things prove that the girl is not from an ordinary family.

So, could it be the daughter of a dignitary in Yongdu?

Sang Luo caressed the plum blossoms on Ropa, and thought: "It is always wrong to take things from other people. When I see her in the future, I must return the things to the original owner."

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and Sang Luo put Ropa into his arms, jumped out of bed, and when he opened the door, he saw a disheveled child.She folded her arms, frowned and said, "Er Hu, you've been running around in the middle of the night, what should you do if you get hurt?"

Erhu raised the lantern in his hand and said with a smile, "Brother! I have a lantern."

Sang Luo let the two tigers in and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Brother, mother can get out of bed and walk today!" Erhu said happily.

Sang Luo smiled, rubbed Erhu's messy hair, and said, "That's good. After mother's kiss, we Erhu don't have to run to be thieves."

Erhu lowered his head, his cheeks flushed a little.

His mother fell ill and spent all the savings in the family.Forced to do nothing, he went to Yongdu City to squat for a few days, and finally seized the opportunity to snatch a beautiful looking box, thinking of pawning it to exchange some silver taels for his mother's medical treatment.As everyone knows, it was intercepted by Sang Luo, scolded him a few words, and then returned the property to the original owner.The things that had been obtained with great difficulty disappeared like this, and when he thought of his mother being sick, he cried very sadly.Afterwards, Sang Luo asked the reason clearly and gave him the few taels of silver left on his body, which put his mother's illness on hold.However, the few taels of silver were quickly used up, and he had no ability to make money, so he had to become a thief again, and finally repeated the same mistakes.This time, Sang Luo gave him a full 50 taels in his purse. He invited a doctor from the city to Lushui Village to see a doctor for his mother. He prescribed medicine and took a few doses. Now he can get out of bed and walk.

Thinking of this, Erhu knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered his head and said, "Brother, Erhu will never do that kind of thing again."

Sang Luo pulled the two tigers up, reached out and patted the dust off his body, and said, "This is the best. Erhu, if I didn't stop you in time that day, you are likely to be beaten up by others, and you may even be dragged to the hospital. Sue in front of your mother. Do you think, if your mother knows that you have done such a thing for her, will she be very sad? "

Erhu nodded and said: "My mother said that I want Erhu to be a man who stands up to heaven and earth. If I tell my mother that Erhu is a thief, I will be very sad."

Sang Luo pinched Erhu's face with a smile and stopped talking.

Erhu held back for a long time, then said timidly, "Brother, can you not tell mother?"

"What?" Sang Luo knew what he meant, but pretended not to know.

Erhu said: "I snatched the brocade box and stole the money bag."

Sang Luo said: "Now you know you are afraid?"

Erhu was afraid that Sang Luo would really go to sue her, so he tugged on her sleeve and said, "Brother, Erhu really knew his mistake."

Sang Luo couldn't help laughing, and compromised: "Okay, okay, we know you and I know."

Erhu stretched out his little finger and said with a smile, "Let's pull the hook!"

******

Jinyang Palace, inside the bedroom.

Ziyun handed a scroll to Jinyang and said, "Princess, this is the result of the investigation."

Open the scroll, and what comes into view is a portrait, a portrait of a child, just like a shrunken version of Sanluo.According to the data, Sang Luo is the youngest son of Sang Qingyang, Minister of Rites, and all the information is before the age of 13, and there is very little.He closed the scroll and burned the letter paper in his hand, wondering why the youngest son of Minister of Rites was so down and out.According to the information checked, Sang Luo is already twenty and three. Run away from home at the age of 13, why?For ten years, where did the days away from home go?What have you done?

She is very curious about these.

"The Empress is here!"

Jin Yang came back to his senses, rolled up the scroll and put it under the pillow, and then hurried out to meet her mother.

It was already time to eat, the empress came to Jinyang Palace at this time, and she probably would stay for dinner, so she ordered Ziyun to pass on dinner while walking.

The empress gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son is the crown prince and has already accepted the crown prince. The youngest daughter is the sixth and is waiting to be married at the age of eighteen.She lived to be 38 years old, and her own wishes have been fulfilled. Now her only wish is to choose a son-in-law for her youngest daughter.She and Rui Jinchuan worried a lot in private, but their daughter didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.She often complained that Rui Jinchuan didn't start choosing a son-in-law when Jinyang was 16 years old, and now Jinyang has turned [-] and has become an older young woman.The materials of the married young people in Yongdu City had already been compiled into books, and she brought these materials to Jinyang Palace today.

During the meal, Jin Yang kept silent, while the queen kept talking about how excellent the son of a certain official's family was.After the meal, a large stack of documents was placed on the table.

The queen took Jinyang's hand and said meaningfully: "Jin'er, the so-called male college should be married and the female college should be married. You are already twenty-nine years old. It's time to carefully choose a son-in-law. When the queen mother is your age, your brother-in-law It's two years old."

Jin Yang fixed his eyes on a large stack of books, and said with a bitter face: "Mother, do you really want to marry your daughter off?"

The queen sighed and said, "Jin'er, the queen mother and your father just didn't want to part with you and kept you until [-] years. Think about your five imperial sisters, who didn't choose a son-in-law in [-] years? Now you are [-] years old. , the marriage cannot be delayed any longer. The records in this booklet are all the sons of famous families in Yongdu, so you have to make a choice, and you must choose a son-in-law within one month."

Jin Yang stared and said: "Mother, Jin'er doesn't want to marry!"

The queen said coldly, "Jin'er, the queen mother will tell you the truth. If you don't choose your favorite son-in-law within a month, you will marry a barbarian far away. Stay in Yongdu or marry a barbarian far away, you have to figure it out yourself. "

Jin Yang frowned and said, "Queen, why didn't I know there was a barbarian envoy coming to ask for marriage?"

The queen said: "It seems that your father didn't want you to be sad, so he didn't tell you."

Jin Yang stopped talking.Of course she didn't want to marry into a barbarian land.However, she only wants to marry the person she likes.However, this person does not seem to have appeared yet.what to do?

She remembered that dream, and the person in the dream was the reason why she had been unwilling to get married.Ever since she was a child, she would have a short and hazy dream whenever it rained.Under the sycamore tree on a rainy night, a lake-green figure came lightly, hugged her with a sprained foot, and hid in the drizzle.I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but I only remembered the green color of the lake.Because of this, she has always liked lake green very much, and has a natural affection for people wearing lake green clothes.That's why she sent someone to investigate Sang Luo.However, that down-and-out young man doesn't seem to be the one he imagined.Do you really want to choose your own son-in-law from that thick stack of books?

Seeing that Jin Yang didn't speak, the queen secretly rejoiced in her heart.Sure enough, Jinyang can be calmed down by bringing out the barbarian's courtship.This way, she and Rui Jinchuan thought for a long time before reaching a consensus.For the lifelong happiness of their daughter, they don't mind telling a white lie.

"Jin'er, the queen mother is also for your own good. May I ask how much gossip will be caused by the sixth princess not getting married at the marriageable age? You should be very clear about this." The queen used both soft and hard methods, step by step to seduce the precious daughter.

Jin Yang was silent for a while, then took out a booklet, looked at it casually and put it aside, compromised: "Mother, Jin'er will read these booklets carefully."
