Datang cat raising hand letter

Outside the house, Lu Wenhe was dragging Yu Yu to this uninhabited place in the school, panting a little, "Do you know where your family's ancestral home is?"

Yu Yu said: "When I was young, my family has been displaced. If you ask where your origin is, I don't know. Maybe the family members know the inside story better."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "But what's wrong with a certain company?"

Mr. Xiao Lang is right in his words.

Lu Wenhe frowned: "I'm not too clear about this matter. My slave just said a few words when he brought us food. You also know that Lizheng is in charge of many village household affairs. He registers and compiles books every three years to reorganize the accounts of each village. At that time, there seems to be something wrong with your family's hands." He was also a little confused when he said it, probably because the house slave couldn't explain clearly in the confusion.

The amount of household registration is related to the achievements of the county magistrate, and the registration of household registration is even more important. If there is really a problem with Yu Yu's household registration, the problems involved can be large or small.The small ones are daily life, the big ones are the imperial examinations, and there is no county magistrate in charge, and it is not guaranteed that he will take advantage of this matter.

Yu Yu frowned. Although he had some memories since he was a child, no matter whether it was Aniang or Aye, he never talked about the surnames passed down in his family, let alone talking about ancient times like others. Naturally, there is no such thing.He could vaguely sense that his parents were relocating as if they were avoiding a disaster, but they kept their mouths tight and never revealed it.

But if what Lu Wenhe said is true, does the problem lie in the past that Aniang and the others have concealed?

Lu Wenhe looked extremely anxious, but Yu Yu's small face didn't change his expression, his dark eyes looked at his friend quietly: "You don't have to worry, wait for XX to check when he gets home."

Yu Yu believed in the abilities of her parents, so she would not try to entrap him in this matter.The problem shouldn't be here.

Lu Wenhe didn't let go of his thick eyebrows, he just said, "Wait for my house, I'll ask Aye."

It's no wonder that Lu Wenhe became anxious after hearing the whole thing. After all, the imperial examination is to clarify the household registration and ancestors of the candidates. If there is a problem with the household registration of the Yu family itself, it will be troublesome.

Yu Yu pursed the corners of his lips slightly, "Thank you."

Lu Wenhe smiled and rubbed Yu Yu's hair, "You look cold and not talkative, but you are good-natured. As a friend, I don't want to see you in trouble." He sighed a little at Yu Yu's silent and restrained look , seemed to think of something, and held back the desire to speak.

After the two said goodbye, the afternoon reading continued as usual.

After the sun went down, Lu Wenhe and Yu Yu returned home.

Yu Yu brought Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu Baishuang, who had been moving with Miss Xu and the others since he was born, and they knew more about family affairs than the young Yu Yu.

"Uncle Liu, Sister Liu, Sister Baishuang, do you still remember where my family's origin is?" Yu Yu didn't mention Lu Wenhe's point, but told them that they had to write down the birthplace of the three generations of the family during the imperial examination, so he wanted to come to the same place. They ask about this less clear content.

Aye's tomb is in another place, and A Niang's tomb only has her name written on it according to her last wish. Although it is illegal, she has prepared the things long ago, and there is only Yu Yu left in the Yu family. .

Yu Yu is willing, but others can't say anything.

Bai Shuang was still young at that time, although she was older than Yu Yu, many of her memories were still unclear.

Mrs. Liu did remember a little bit, "I really don't remember where my original hometown was. I was bought when my wife was on the boat, and I lived with her on the boat." Of course, I don't know any further.

Uncle Liu squinted his eyes, and when Mrs. Liu spoke, he seemed to be thinking carefully, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "I vaguely remember that Mr. Lang is from the previous dynasty, and his family seems to have been an official before, and the wife seems to be the same. After the war broke out, we went all the way south and fled to the sea, and we didn’t come back until the court stabilized.”

But in the end it is north, in the end it is south, they still can't tell an exact location.

Yu Yu seriously thought about his own situation, and asked Bai Shuang to help him find out if there were any things about his ancestral home stored in the warehouse after the meal, while Yu Yu went back to the backyard by himself, standing by the pond in a daze .

In his hand he held a Luban lock that came from the study.

The afterglow of the setting sun scattered on the pond, and the broken waves looked a little nice.This pond should have been connected with some dark rivers, otherwise, it would not have been able to remain as it used to be during the three years of desolation and neglect.

Yu Yu recalled some things.

Some memories related to the barrel-shaped Luban lock in his hand.

...

The summer of the sixth year of Zhenguan.

In the front yard of Yu's house, under the shade of a few old pagoda trees, an eager servant girl followed a short boy to the back yard.

"Xiao Lang, wait a minute—"

The courtyard was not too big or too small, and it was enough for Xu Furong, Yu Yu and a few maidservants to live in the two entrances. The old concierge Liu He was usually considered attentive.Because the liquor business is good, and everyone is considerate in management, even though Xu Furong is a widow, no one dares to bully her by coming to her house.Three years have passed without causing any trouble.

Bai Shuang's voice couldn't stop Yu Yu's footsteps, and she was sweating even more in the middle of the noon.I saw the little boy in front walking along the eaves, seemingly not in a hurry, but in fact his short legs alternated quickly.

If it wasn't for Yu Yu's reserved and introverted personality, I'm afraid he would throw everything away and run.

Outside the door of Aniang's house, Yu Yufang, who was wearing a light blue lapel robe with narrow sleeves, stopped by the door, his expressionless face puffed up, as if taking a deep breath, and after two or three breaths, he calmed down his rapid breathing. Only then did the short Yu Yu stride across the threshold, and finally saw the pale mother, leaning on the soft couch and drooping her eyes, with a soft and beautiful face.

Xu Furong was ill.

In the past few days, I have invited a lot of in-house doctors, but they only prescribed some mild and recuperating prescriptions, without much effect.

"Auntie."

Yu Yu pursed his lips, his face was a little bewildered.

Xu Furong smiled, it was rare for her to see her upright and serious child exuding such vivid colors, as if the calm lake surface was broken in an instant, although the elegance was lost, there was a little more vivid color.

"Little Spoon, come here."

She raised her hand to let Yu Yu come closer, and hugged Yu Yu in her arms. She leaned against A Niang with her soft body. The faint fragrance of the mother's body made the child's eyelashes tremble, and the roots of his ears turned red.He wasn't quite used to this kind of intimate contact, he didn't know how to place his hands and feet, so he could only shrink his two small fists into his bosom.

Seeing the hesitation on Yu Yu's face, Xu Furong couldn't help but laugh at first, and then sighed a little.

If it hadn't been for a long time of wandering, how could he have made his son so alienated and indifferent.Xu Furong resisted the itching of her throat and asked the servant girl who was worried about her to rest, then she touched the back of Yu Yuyuan's head and said, "Ma'am, I have something to give to Shao'er."

Yu Yu pursed her lips and looked at Aunt seriously, only to see that she groped for a long time from the bedside, did not know where to press it, abruptly twisted a grid drawer out of the square grid decoration at the head of the bed, and Xu Furong took out a slap The size of the cast iron small cylinder.

Upon closer inspection, the barrel has distinct lines, and it is a Luban lock that has been completely assembled.

Xu Furong handed the Luban lock to Yu Yu, smiled palely, and looked at him tenderly, "Do you still remember how to unlock it?"

Xu Furong taught Yu Yu about Lu Bansuo's intellectual interest.

Yu Yu took it over, looked at A Niang twice with big clear eyes, saw that she was still smiling, then lowered her head and slowly tested Lu Bansuo's various places.The moment her child lowered her head, Xu Furong's smile faded a little, her breathing subtly quickened twice, but she was still a little out of breath.

This Luban lock is made up of twelve pieces. After Yu Yu pressed the first one, it was quickly untied.These are all familiar steps, but he found a hidden grid with a clear pattern on the bottom iron pillar in the shape of an "H", which is small but obvious.

Four petals, and small flower roots.

Yu Yu looked up at A Niang, Xu Furong just patted his head, it was obvious that the focus was on the hidden pattern at the end.

The child thought about it blankly, and then touched all the small iron pillars, and there were no other patterns.The child was a little dazed.

Seeing this, Xu Furong laughed heartily.

She hadn't smiled like this for a long time. She smiled so brightly that even the corners of her eyes were slightly red, "Shao'er guessed right." Xu Furong let go of her right hand, and inside her palm was an iron block like a small petal.

petal key.

When Yu Yu's little hand took the key away, it touched Aniang's palm.

piping hot.

He pressed the petal key on the small iron flower, and then lightly pressed the completed petals.

The dark compartment is opened.

In the narrow space lay a brass key.

He has seen the key.

Half a month ago, A Niang said that she wanted to play a game with Yu Yu, and after sending them away, they sank a big box into the small pond in the backyard together.

This is the key to the big box.

"Shao'er, Auntie will teach you the last truth." Xu Furong put her arms around Yu Yu's small body, the redder her lips, the whiter her face, the darker her eyes, but the softer her voice, "Sly Rabbit Three Caves, stay behind for everything." Never reveal your hole cards to anyone, even your closest relatives and loved ones." She was close to Yu Yu's ear, so close that only children could hear the whispered words: "Everyone is like this, Always selfish. Your father is like this, and so is your mother."

She fondled Yu Yu's little head, and immediately pushed her warm body away, "Go." A Niang's gentle voice seemed to be still in Yu Yu's ear, "According to what A Niang taught you before. , when you hide something, how do you hide it?"

Yu Yu took a few steps towards the door, and obediently looked back at Aunt.

Auntie smiled at him.

The child turned his head and went out, and when he came back, everything was empty.

That was the last time Yu Yu and A Niang saw each other.

...

Memories of the past rolled over, making Yu Xuan's back look a little lonely.

He looked at the pond with extremely indifferent eyes, holding the barrel with the same strength as he held the key tightly back then, his fingers turned red from the pain and he did not let go.

Under this pond, there may be answers he wants to know.
