Vicissitudes know Jinhua

At this situation, Tieshiren also had to cry. Old man Hu wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "Poor child! Now that you have become a high-ranking official, you can't even protect a woman and child. Why don't you sell tofu like an old man!"

Mu Zishi knew how to be jealous of His Holiness, and said with tears in his eyes, "Father can't do anything... My mother is weak, and after being beaten, she didn't make it past noon the next day. When she died, she couldn't close her eyes. Before she died, she told our brother that she had figured it out in the past few days, we can no longer stay in Chenjing, Mrs. Mu will never let us go, and my father will not be able to save our brother's life because of his will and powerlessness."

This story not only has the imperial court officials stealing the outer room, but also the wife of the main room who is jealous. In the end, the loving mother is murdered, and the little brother escapes from the clutches. It is really more interesting than the book in the teahouse. Both the shopkeeper and the old man Hu listen With relish, the mood was agitated, and when Mu Zishi finished speaking in tears, the shopkeeper Ren rushed to Xiao Han with a heroic spirit, and slapped the table furiously: "It's reasonable for such a shrew to rest!"

He took two steps forward, and patted Mu Zishi's shoulder with red eyes: "Don't worry, the dignified Qichi surnamed Ren will never reveal your whereabouts, let alone let that poisonous woman catch you! Once you have a set of carriages, you can go up and out of the city, the guards at the east gate have friendship with me, there will be no mistake!"

Mu Zishi was overjoyed, pulled Qi Shaochong, and the two bowed deeply: "Thank you, uncle!"

Over there, the old man Hu picked twenty steamed buns, packed a can of shredded pickles in a small jar, wrapped it in a clean cloth, and sent it to Mu Zishi, holding a pile of copper coins: "Young master, You haven’t done business in the morning, and you don’t have enough coins to find, so just treat it as if you bought ten more steamed buns!”

Mu Zishi hurriedly accepted the thank you, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Uncle, how much money will we get when the two of us go out of the city?"

Shopkeeper Ren said: "You brothers have to spend too much money when you go out of the city to leave your home. The money for the carriage will be waived... But where are you going after you leave the city? Do you have a place to stay?"

He asked in detail, Qi Shaochong felt guilty, but Mu Zishi was already prepared, said: "My mother is originally from Xiazhou, and there are a few uncles here, we are going to join relatives there."

Shopkeeper Ren was really kind. Seeing that the only food they took away was steamed buns, he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, although there are some farmers here outside the city, they may not be willing to stay with you, and it is a long way... I Go back and prepare some dried sausages for you!"

We met by chance, this person was so enthusiastic, Qi Shaochong was moved in his heart, and hurriedly took out a piece of silver from the package: "Uncle... Uncle, we can't ask for your things for nothing."

It's really not easy for an uncle to say it, but once he blurted it out, the panic among the people in Chuluo was greatly reduced, and this simple breakfast shed was not as unbearable as it was when he first came in.

Mu Zishi raised his eyebrows, his eyes were surprised, but there was also a hint of approval.

Shopkeeper Ren touched Qi Shaochong's head with a smile: "He's a sincere boy... Forget it, my car dealership business is not bad, and the family can live on. Keep your money well. Remember to be careful in everything. Exposed, don't get lost with your brother!"

The seats in the carriage were not spacious, so shopkeeper Ren chose the warmest corner for the two of them to sit in, and asked the handlebar Shi Haosheng to take care of him. A green oilcloth package contained a dozen or so sausages and two slices of bacon, and he went to Mu with a heavy heart. Zishi put his knees down, smiled and waved.

Mu Zishi said with tears in his eyes, "Uncle, if our brothers can come back one day, we will definitely..."

Shopkeeper Ren interrupted: "Come on, good words are precious in the heart, but they are worthless like shit... If you come back, come and eat a bowl of tofu brain to report your safety!"

When the car was full of about ten people, the handlebars yelled, and the four wheels of the carriage glide along, Qi Shaochong carefully looked around, and whispered into Mu Zishi's ear: "Let's lie to Uncle Ren, he is right We are so nice..."

Mu Zishi sighed: "If you don't lie, you can't do it. The wife and concubines in the servant's mansion are jealous, and he is not afraid of the concubine fleeing for his life. If the palace change seizes the throne and your prince falls, that would be a terrible disaster. Affordable? And by making up such a story, he will not doubt and guess our origins, and he will also know that it is about human life so that it will not be publicized everywhere, and it will benefit us and not harm us."

Young Master Qi pursed his lips, wanted to cry but held back: "I don't know what's going on in the palace, I'm really worried about father, queen and queen."

Mu Zishi lowered his eyelashes and ignored him.

Qi Shaochong was really worried, and said again: "Brother Sanhuang, he hates the mother so much... and the father, what do you think he wants to do? Why is there no news from the palace today?"

Mu Zishi snorted coldly, and said impatiently: "It's useless for you to worry. Today's misfortune is all the fault of your good mother. Give her a word, she deserves it!"

Mu Zishi hated the queen deeply because of Qi Yupei's death, and he would not show mercy. Qi Shaochong was filled with pain and anger when he heard the words. He was the closest to the queen since he was a child. Even though he felt that his mother was wrong, he would not allow outsiders to do so Hurting her with words, regardless of the need to be careful while fleeing, shouted loudly: "Mu Zishi! What are you talking about? She is my mother! How dare you..."

Everyone in the car was startled and all paid attention.

Mu Zishi held him down, sneered and said in a low voice: "What's the trouble? Don't you want to live? If you don't want to live, just say so. I'll send you to Qi Hefeng. Wouldn't it be easier for everyone?"

As he spoke, he looked up at the crowd, and tears welled up in his eyelashes: "My brother misses mother... Don't be offended, everyone."

Qi Shaochong struggled twice, and said in a low voice: "Don't scold her, I will listen to what you say."

Mu Zishi refused to accept this threat: "Really? Do you think I owe you? Do you have to protect you? Do you like to make trouble? If it wasn't for your brother, if he hadn't let me...I wouldn't even Will take another look."

Qi Shaochong hugged the censer and sneezed, his nose turned gray, and he stared at a pair of black grape-like eyeballs, he didn't know whether he was angry or sad, his throat seemed to be tightened by a rope, he couldn't even breathe freely, his eyes were burning and painful , but desperately held back the tears.

When Mu Zishi said this, his voice trembled a little: "If you can give me back a living Highness, I... I can offer your mother as a bodhisattva."

Qi Shaochong felt sour, thinking of the grievances and sufferings of the fourth brother these years, in his mother's heart, he was just an abandoned child, even just a stepping stone for himself, and seeing Mu Zishi's two tears dripping heavily on the burden on his knees, Biting the skin of his lip, he silently lowered his head and stopped talking.

A chubby middle-aged woman on the side said with great interest: "Are you brothers? Why aren't your parents with you? Where are you going? What are you doing? Oh, they look so handsome, why are you arguing?" Are you ready? Come on, tell Auntie all about it!"

Mu Zishi saw that the aunt was wearing an uncluttered bun, and every wrinkle in the corner of her eyes was full of trouble, so she knew that she couldn't be careless, so she recounted the story again with a few extra gifts. Small details: "The palm of my hand was pierced by Mrs. Mu with a broken inkstone, and several blood purlins were shot on my brother's back. Auntie, if you don't believe me, look..."

As she said she spread her hands, the fat lady looked at her and nodded with red eye circles. There was indeed an inch-long bloody scar on the white and tender palm, which was left by Mu Zishi when he cleaned up the inkstone that day.

Mu Zishi kept on doing it, stretching out his hand to untie Qi Shaochong's green cotton padded jacket, but Qi Shaochong really didn't have any blood marks on his back, he was so frightened that he clutched the lapel of his shirt and refused to let go, trembling naturally: "Don't..."

The fat aunt hurriedly stopped her motherly, and even put her arms around Qi Shaochong: "It's a crime, don't look at it, the aunt knows, your brother has suffered! That monkey broke his stomach, and he will take her!"

For a moment, everyone in the car sighed and sighed, and a man with thin lips like blades said angrily: "Poor child...the Mu family's wife is also, she can't lay eggs by herself, and she still has eggs in her circle." Throwing it out, the eyes of my heart are not as big as the corns on the soles of my feet!"

Mu Zishi heard that although his words were vulgar, they were as crunchy and slightly spicy as raw radish. He could not help but smile through his tears, but Qi Shaochong didn't understand what he heard. Ask: "What egg did he say? What corns?"

As he said that, he got out of the fat aunt's arms and walked back to Mu Zishi's side.

Mu Zishi managed to maintain his smile, and patted his head affectionately, but he was secretly worried. This Seventh Highness is young and ignorant of the world. Raising him is not as easy as raising a puppy. it works.

Thinking about hugging the wrap around her knees more tightly, she didn't dare to feel like she was still in the Eastern Palace, feeling that the gold was dazzling, the silver was stupid, and the copper and copper smelled fishy.

Old Lu, who guards the city gate, is greedy for small things, even if a chicken passes through the city gate, he has to leave behind a feather shuttlecock.Ren Ji is sensible in carriages and horses, and every time he goes in and out, he will more or less pass by empty-handed. Lao Lu takes extra care of the mules and carriages with the word "Ren Ji" on them.

It's the same this time, he stuffed a box of Sanxilou's assorted snacks on the handlebar, and said with a smile: "Give it to my nephew to eat and play."

The snacks in Sanxilou are crispy and delicious, and all the children in Sijiu City love them, but the price is much higher than that sold in ordinary shops. This small box is no less than two cents. Lao Lu has a middle-aged child. Seeing this The gift was given thoughtfully, so I was very happy, and hurriedly held it in both hands: "Thank you, my master, for me, it's too heavy, too heavy!"

He lowered his voice again, and whispered: "The superior said today that every gate of the city must be extra careful. If a little boy of about ten years old goes out of the city, he must be strictly questioned, and no one will be lost... I will also have this car. Take a look, don't worry, it's just for the occasion, to give an explanation to the superior."

The handlebar style was told by Shopkeeper Ren to take extra care of the little brothers, so he hurriedly asked, "What can a child of about ten years old do?"

Lao Lu looked around and said: "It is said that he is pretending to be the prince. In short, we don't know what is going on in the palace..."

Although his voice was deliberately lowered, he couldn't hold back his naturally loud voice. The two of them were talking close to the curtain of the car. Mu Zishi had good hearing, and he listened attentively. , clutching Qi Shaochong's arm tightly with one hand, thinking to himself, Qi Hefeng's move is really powerful, so even if Qi Shaochong reveals the identity of the seventh prince, the search and arrest officers and sergeants in Chenjing City will definitely not believe it.

Qi Shaochong also listened closely, his city was not as deep as Mu Zishi's, his face was already pale, and his dark eyes stared at Mu Zishi without blinking.

Mu Zishi reassured: "It's okay, it's nothing to do with our brothers, the officials won't arrest people randomly!"

Before he finished speaking, the curtain of the car was opened with a swipe, and Lao Lu leaned in with a big copper face. What are you going for?"

Mu Zishi was anxious, but at first glance, he saw that there were no more soldiers at the gate of the city than in the past. After a second thought, he realized that the palace change was a secret matter of the Tian family after all. Just looking at the fat aunt with a pair of clear and innocent eyes, the pleading in it is overwhelming and irresistible.

Sure enough, the fat aunt was covered in hair like a tiger protecting its cubs. She stretched out her arms to protect the two of them ferociously, and raised her neck: "What are you looking at? Old Lu, you have lost your mind when you are an official? You forgot that your daughter-in-law Did you borrow salt or sugar for cooking? Have you forgotten that my man saved your son from falling into the river in winter?"

Mu Zishi thought in his heart good luck!It seems that the fat woman lived close to this old Lu and had a deep friendship, and this hurdle must be easy to pass, thinking about hugging Qi Shaochong even tighter, trying to hide his face from Old Lu's sight.

However, Lao Lu smiled half awkwardly and half shyly, his eyes were fixed on Mu Zishi and the two, and he straightened the indigo hat of the city gatekeeper: "Aunt Guo... this and this, there are orders from above, and Lao Lu dare not disobey them. There is something that offended you, and I will come to the door to apologize when I get off! But these two children are indeed the age mentioned above, and I, Lao Lu, have to ask a few more questions."

He said and stared: "You two, get out of the car!"
