There is no phoenix

Xing Xiuyan also comforted: "That's the reason. I once heard a story about an old lady from a rich family who usually had a bad temper and often beat and scolded girls. The old lady's eyes were not good, and she couldn't see clearly for several times. Over the years, I have invited countless doctors and taken countless medicines, but they can't be cured. There is a girl who hates the old lady for always punishing them. Every time she serves tea and feeds the old lady, she secretly gives the old lady maggots to eat. The old lady I couldn't see it, I ate it all. After half a year, who knew that one day, the old lady looked at the tea in the bowl and wondered why there was a worm in the tea in the tea bowl? Guess what happened? The old lady's eyes are so good She can see more clearly than the eyes of old people of the same age. Only the girl understands that the doubt is because of the maggot. It seems that the maggot may be able to cure the eye disease of the old man. Later, I met a high-ranking monk by chance and asked about it. The eminent monk really said that in the Western Regions, some people used dried maggots as medicine to treat eye diseases."

Baoqin said: "Sister-in-law said this, and I also remembered a story. When I went to Zhenzhen Kingdom with my father, I heard that there was an old prince in Zhenzhen Kingdom who had an incurable disease. The imperial doctor said that he could prepare for his funeral. , it is better to stop the treatment, so as to save the old prince from suffering from acupuncture and medicine. When the old prince heard this doctor say this, he told his family when he went back, I am already a person who is about to enter the underworld. I want to open up, no matter how many days I live, you don’t care about me, I want to eat there, you don’t care. I want to take advantage of these last few days to enjoy real freedom. So the old prince brought enough food every day Money, go out on horseback, don’t want to be followed, and sometimes don’t come back at night. The family members don’t look for him because he left a message. Two months have passed, and the old prince is still alive. The old prince said, maybe it’s time for him to die soon , simply went out for a few days and did not come back, saying that he wanted to enjoy the mountains and rivers. A year later, the old prince still did not die, he felt very strange, so he summoned all the imperial doctors for questioning. After checking, the princes were all surprised and said that the old prince has no illnesses now, and his body is still very good, so there is no need to worry about dying of illness at all."

Xing Xiuyan then smiled and said to Xiangling: "Xiangling, you heard it now? You have to relax your mind, maybe you will have a miracle." Seeing Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan's persuasion, Xiangling was very grateful.At this time, I don't think too much, I just hope that I can see a relative in my lifetime.Therefore, Xiangling braced herself every day, ate as much as possible, and often went to the bow of the boat to watch.

In the early morning of the eighth day of February, Shui Rong Daiyu and his party in Yangzhou had already embarked on the official ship to Gusu.Shui Rong asked the owner of the boat, and said that the weather is good now, and it is estimated that he can arrive in Gusu on the morning of the [-]th.

Daiyu and the others are in a good mood.Because I have returned to my hometown in my dreams countless times, but I have never been able to do so. Now I can not only return to my hometown, but also my relatives, Uncle Lin, and my loved ones are protected by Shui Rong. Accompany them back to their hometown where they have been separated for many years.

At midnight on the twelfth, the official boat that Daiyu Shuirong and his party were riding finally arrived at Gusu Ferry.The boatman moored the boat, Lin Zhong said to Daiyu Shuirong: "Yu'er, you accompany the young prince to get off the boat slowly, I'll go find a car first. I'm familiar with this place, I can hire a car soon."

Shui Rong said: "Uncle Lin, let Shui'an go with you."

Daiyu said: "We don't have much luggage, so we'll just wait for a while at the bow of the boat."

Shui Rong and Daiyu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the people coming and going at the ferry, Shui Rong smiled and said, "Sister Daiyu, we are in the daytime now, if it is night, can we really feel the coldness outside Gusu City?" Mountain Temple, the bell rings at midnight to the passenger ship? Is this Hanshan Temple far from Gusu City?"

Daiyu smiled and pointed to the distance, "Brother Rong, look, the temple looming on the top of the mountain is Hanshan Temple."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Sister Daiyu, I'm here in your hometown, you should accompany me to take a stroll around Gusu, we'll go back to the capital after we've had enough shopping."

Daiyu said: "I'm afraid you will stay longer, Uncle Shui and the emperor urged you to go back."

Shui Rong said: "When I was in Yangzhou, I had already sent the letter back to the capital together with official documents from the government. My royal father and royal father should have known about our situation here. Just take a stroll when you come. This is my first time in Jiangnan. .I don’t want to go to other places, but I just want to see Hangzhou. It is said that there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

After Shui Rong finished speaking, Daiyu approached and smiled and said, "Dai'er, I'm afraid that when we come to Gusu next time, our children also like it here and don't want to go back to the capital with us."

After hearing this, Daiyu blushed and said, "We're talking about children. But after we get home and rest for a few days, I want to go to Hanshan Temple. I went there with my parents when I was five years old. Some things were forgotten there."

After a while, Lin Zhong came over and said that the car had been hired.Shui Rong then asks Shui'an to help, together with Zijuan Xueyan, put all of Daiyu's luggage into the car, and the group of people get on the car and go to Lin's house.

After walking for more than an hour, Lin Zhong walked in the front, got out of the car, turned his head and said to Dai Yu Shui Rong: "Young Prince, Yu'er, you're home."

Daiyu lifted the curtain of the car, and Xueyan Zijuan helped her out of the car.Daiyu walked forward a few steps, looked up and saw that she had arrived at the door of her house, the door was not closed, there were two stone lions on both sides of the door, the word "Lin Fu" on the plaque on it was faded, but it was still very clear .

Daiyu looked back at Shui Rong, smiled and said, "Brother Rong, this is my home, please come in!"

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu with a smile and said: "Sister Daiyu, you are a child who has grown up from his parents, you should lead the way."

After hearing this, Daiyu moved forward a few steps, looked at the plaque on the gate of the house again, tears filled her eyes, and murmured: "It really hasn't changed."

At this moment, Lin Zhong had already entered, and he said loudly to the inside: "Ah Fu, Yu'er is back, and there are distinguished guests!"

Seeing that Daiyu was a little sad, Shui Rong hurried forward and said, "Sister Daiyu, you are finally home now, you should be happy."

Just as I was talking, I saw three people coming out of the house to greet a few people to enter the house: a couple about 40 years old, and a young man about 20 years old.

Daiyu knew these three people, they were servants of the Lin family, Afu and his wife, and their son. Daiyu Shuirong and his party entered the yard, and saw an old and a young one cleaning weeds in the yard.

A Fu's family stepped forward to salute Dai Yulin Zhong, and looked at Shui Rong and Shui An again, a little surprised.Lin Zhong hurriedly said: "Ah Fu, this is the young prince of Beijing Palace, and also a distinguished guest of our residence."

After hearing this, the three hurriedly knelt down to salute Shui Rong.

Shui Rong waved his hands and said: "You don't need to be too polite, you should call me Mr. Shui."

So everyone went in, Ah Fu's wife poured tea for them, Lin Zhong asked Ah Fu's son Wu Shan to go out and tell his two sons Lin Yang Linzhou about Daiyu's return, and repeatedly said that a distinguished guest had come, Ask them both to come here immediately.Wu Shan took the order and left.

Ah Fu said: "Uncle Lin, we also guess that the girl will come back soon these days, so we have been cleaning the yard these days. The ones outside are my old mother-in-law and my youngest daughter, and they are also helping."

Daiyu looked around the big living room, and saw that everything in the room was neat, there were no cobwebs on the beams on the walls, and she looked at the yard and under the eaves, everything was cleaned up, and she hurriedly said: "Uncle Fu has worked hard all these years!"

Ah Fu's wife poured tea for everyone and said with a smile: "Girl, we don't work hard. Thanks to Master Lin Shu for taking care of us and letting our family stay. To tell you the truth, we have been living here since you left. Every morning when I wake up, I sweep the inside and outside of this place. It turns out that I will also clean the house of the master and the girl, and often open the doors and windows to ventilate. I believe the girl will definitely come back to take a look. Last night when I was having dinner, my daughter Wu Yan asked Why do I have flowers on the lamp head? I said that there must be guests at home tomorrow, but I didn’t expect that the girl will come back with a distinguished guest today.”

After hearing this, Daiyu said with a blushing face: "Sister-in-law Afu, you can prepare a few more dishes later, Mr. Shui has never been to our south, so just get some of our Gusu's taste."

After hearing this, Mrs. Afu smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'll go get ready right away."

Shui Rong looks at Daiyu and just smiles, but doesn't speak.
