after rebirth

Chapter 94

The Duanyang Festival in Shangzhou is not inferior to that in Beijing, especially the dragon boat race in the afternoon of the day.The dragon boat on the rippling Zhiyi River is advancing rapidly like an arrow leaving the string, full of vigor and seemingly inexhaustible power, coupled with the cheers and heated conversations of countless people on the shore, it stimulates people's hearts to beat The speed increased, and their faces became flushed and red with excitement. People clenched their fists and stared at the dragon boat they were supporting in the distance.

The dragon boats are all issued by major merchants in Shangzhou. The winner in the end will have a lottery of one hundred taels of silver, and there will be an opening on the shore.

Taibailou happened to be on the Zhiyi River, and it happened to be able to see the last section of the dragon boat race, which was around [-]:[-] Shen Shi, when Taibailou was very lively.

Early on, the private rooms along the river in Taibai Building were booked, and Linshui Ting was booked even earlier, just for the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival.Inside the elegant room with the best location on Linshuiting, it was not as lively as outside.Si Wenzhong, who was dressed in a light blue scholar's robe, looked elegant and majestic, with a perverse way of doing things his own way, how could he be any similar to that stupid Zhong Wensi?

No, Du Jinrong shook his head. The two people's figures are still very similar, but Si Wenzhong's overall impression is majestic, and Zhong Wensi, to be honest, Du Jinrong didn't pay much attention to Zhong Wensi at all. Deliberately ignoring his existence.

Du Jinrong glanced sideways at Red Date, which was lazily nestled in the corner of the room. He rested his big head on his folded front legs, opened his big mouth and yawned. The position happened to be illuminated by the sun, and it was warm. A little drowsy.Jujube is as sensitive to smell as it is to danger. If Si Wenzhong were a stranger, he would definitely not have this attitude. at every turn.But now its attitude clearly proved that Si Wenzhong was someone it was familiar with from the smell.As Si Wenzhong, he had never touched Red Date, but as Zhong Wensi, he had been in contact with Red Date several times.

Zhao Hengxu smiled slightly, "Brother Si, it's been five years since we last said goodbye, and you and I met again in Shangzhou, it's fate!"

"Haha, this is the fate between you and me. In fact, I have been to the capital many times in the past five years, but last time you and I said goodbye in a hurry, and did not leave each other's contact information. Alas, what about the vast crowd? Find Brother Xu and Brother Rong, alas." After speaking, Si Wenzhong sighed again, his expression was just right with loneliness and regret, different from the one in Chaogelou five years ago, Si Wenzhong sitting in front of him now Wearing a perfect mask on his face, he can't talk about his true temperament.

It's not like Zhao Hengxu, he also has a fake mask on his face, just like his current name Xu Hengzhao, fake.

"Hehe." Zhao Hengxu smiled faintly. Si Wenzhong has been to the capital several times, and he still knows it. After all, it is an important place in the capital. It is not particularly embarrassing for the emperor to want to pay special attention to one person.However, Si Wenzhong acted secretly and his traces were very difficult to find, as if he was looking for someone, which made Zhao Hengxu puzzled. Moreover, there were matters to be dealt with in the court, so he did not have too much contact with Si Wenzhong, so as not to Too much contact has aroused Si Wenzhong's suspicion. "This is my fault, but I remember that when we parted last time, I told brother Si that you must go to Ruyifang when you come to the capital, and tell the shopkeeper there. I remember that I wrote Ruyi on a piece of paper. Fang's address."

Si Wenzhong patted his head angrily, "Brother Xu also knew that I was in an embarrassing situation that day. The note disappeared after returning home. At that time, there was a lot of fuss, and I forgot about it for a while. When I think about it It’s too late to regret it, but now that you and I meet here, that’s fate, let’s make a toast to fate.”

"It's such a blessing, let's make it clear, let's do it." Zhao Hengxu also raised his glass, and the two drank each other. After putting down the glass, they looked at each other and smiled, but it's hard to say how much sincerity is in the smile. There are too many things mixed in it, blurred. Curved the corners of the mouth.

Du Jinrong was not here. When Si Wenzhong was talking to Zhao Hengxu, Zhao Ningzhang and Zhao Ningyu came in with their short legs, called someone politely, and after receiving a gift, they dragged Du Jinrong away, and Du Jinrong took them away by the way. red dates.

In the outside room, two children pestered Du Jinrong, asking to go outside to play with each other. Although the fierce atmosphere of the dragon boat race had not yet spread here, Taibai Building had gradually begun to become lively, which made the natural How can the active and curious two children bear it indoors? Their small hearts are full of yearning for the outside world. They want their uncle and brother Jing to take them out to play, but Zhao Hengxu and Du Jinrong did not allow them. Dare to take the two of them out.

"How are you, Daddy! Are you okay!" Zhao Ningyu grabbed Du Jinrong's hand, twisting and twisting her small body, looking eagerly at Du Jinrong, hoping that Du Jinrong would agree.

Zhao Ningzhang lay on Du Jinrong's body directly, tilted his head up, blinked his eyes, although he didn't say anything, he already showed the expression of wanting to go out.

Du Jinrong frowned slightly, "But there are a lot of people outside, it's a mess, it's very dangerous for you children."

"Daddy, I'm not a child anymore, I will take care of my brother."

"Daddy, I'm a man, and I will protect my brother."

The two children said one after the other, and then said in unison, "There are little uncle and elder brother Jing to protect us, and there are many guards, daddy agreed!"

All the private rooms in Linshuiting are divided into inner and outer rooms. The decoration is very elegant and comfortable, making the guests feel at home, but there is also a problem. If the outer room speaks louder, the people in the inner room can hear it Clearly.

Zhao Hengxu and Si Wenzhong heard every word of the two children clearly. Zhao Hengxu shook his head with a smile, "Let Brother Si see the joke."

"Hey, Brother Xu's words are wrong. Why are you just reading a joke? Children's temperaments are true." When mentioning children, Si Wenzhong's face suddenly had a hazy bitterness, very light, very shallow, In a flash, it was fleeting, and he himself understood that the bitterness brewing in his heart was enough to drown himself. "Brother Rong is so lucky. There are two lovely children of Yuxue. By the way, is the older one the child of Brother Xu? He is also a good-looking talent. You and Brother Rong are blessed people, unlike me, so far I didn't even find my child, alas." The sadness in the words was very obvious, and there was no falsehood in Si Wenzhong's expression at the moment.

Zhao Hengxu frowned slightly, and turned the wine cup with his slender and strong fingers. The white and thin wine cup was exquisitely painted with the scenery of smooth sailing and sailing on the ocean, and it looked very beautiful when turning between Zhao Hengxu's fingers.He said in a soft voice: "Brother Si should be talking about Xiao Jing, that is Brother Rong's adopted son, named Ruo Jing."

"Ruojing, Ruojing, a nice name." Putting a pleasing surname in front of this name in my heart will make it even more perfect.His expression was a little dazed, and Si Wenzhong hissed, "Adopted son? But why did I hear that child is called Uncle Rong!"

"Oh, no matter what Xiaojing's biological parents are, they are his biological parents after all. Brother Rong and I still want to find Xiaojing's biological parents, even if we take a look at them from a distance. This is Xiaojing's long-cherished wish. , when he was in the hands of the traffickers, he tried his best to keep the jade pendant in his hand, the only jade pendant connected with his parents."

Si Wenzhong's eyelids twitched, looking at Zhao Hengxu's attitude as if he knew something, but the soreness and pain in his heart had already made him forget to test Zhao Hengxu's meaning, and he finally swallowed back the sourness that was about to pour out. Asked curiously: "Human traffickers?"

"Yeah." Zhao Hengxu sighed, "When we first found him, he was a thin and small guy who looked about four or five years old when he was seven years old. He was dressed in rags, shy and timid, and would scare people when he spoke loudly. Him. Listen to Xiaojing, he has been resold in the hands of different traffickers, because he looks good, I don’t know how many people want to earn more silver from him, tsk tsk, when we saw him, he He is being picked up by the housekeeper of Lord Hou's family. If he doesn't sell to that family, he will be sold to Hualiu Street, tsk tsk, wouldn't such a good child be ruined, alas—" Zhao Hengxu shook his head while talking, with the corners of his eyes flickering. Guang, however, never left Si Wenzhong. Seeing Si Wenzhong's appearance, Guang suppressed the upward curve of the corner of his mouth, and a sigh of pity flowed from his lips.What he said was half-truth and half-false, but his expressions and movements were so real that no one could believe it.

Si Wenzhong's brain was already in chaos, and there was a voice in his heart reminding himself that what Zhao Hengxu said might be false and he couldn't believe it, but he was already following what Zhao Hengxu said, and his heart seemed to be beaten The person grabbed it fiercely in his hand and ravaged it repeatedly, not letting go of every corner.His chest swelled so badly that he couldn't breathe.

The room suddenly became quiet, and suddenly there was a light and crisp cracking sound in the room. When Si Wenzhong let go of his hand, the wine cup in his hand had shattered into pieces. The piece cut his finger, and spots of bright red fell on the countertop, forming a small puddle of blood, which was very dazzling.

"Hehe." Si Wenzhong pulled out a dry smile, not caring about the wound on his finger, and let the blood flow continuously, "The world is hot and cold, and the world is hot and cold, and even a small child will not be let go. Is it black? Brother Zhao, don’t take offense, I’m just angry for a while, and I’m angry for a while.”

"This is true for everyone who hears it. Brother Si is not the only one. But why did Brother Si call me Brother Zhao?" Zhao Hengxu looked at Si Wenzhong playfully.

Si Wenzhong was slightly stunned, and moved his injured right hand finger. The pain on the finger made his heart clear a little bit, "Brother Xu, did you hear me wrong, I kept calling Xu!"

"Oh—" Zhao Hengxu dragged on for a long time.

There were many changes inside and outside, but the two children couldn't be held back, and they didn't want to disappoint them, so Du Jinrong took them out with Zhao Hengze and Xiao Jing himself.

Things are like a dragon boat race on the river, you chase me one by one.
