"It's okay to take refuge with relatives." The storekeeper sighed, "If you want to come to the government to find a meal, you should go back to the government as soon as possible."

He picked up a towel and wrapped it around the teapot, handed it to Rou Ke as a hand stove, took the warm tea from Rou Ke and drank it in one gulp, smiled at her, and then asked the shopkeeper: "What do you mean?" Where do I start? Although I came here to seek refuge with my relatives, there are quite a few people from my hometown who have traveled all the way to get food from the emperor! Didn’t the emperor just issue an edict ordering Liangzhou to help the people affected by the disaster?”

The owner of the store is an old widow without a wife. Seeing the young couple in front of him flirting with each other, you warming your hands and I drink tea so lovingly, and at the same time, there is a gust of autumn wind at the same time, I feel very desolate, and when I speak, I sigh The meaning of loneliness: "You are young and don't know how to feel sad! What the emperor says is what it is? From the capital to Liangzhou, there have been several layers of officials, and this year can fulfill the emperor's will to the fullest five times. He can be regarded as a good official! Not to mention the fat-headed and fat-eared chief minister in our Liangzhou city. His family raised several wives and concubines, and gave birth to many children. No one dares to control the domineering, I am afraid that he is much more majestic than Prince Liang's son."

"Well, speaking of it, it's still the minister who was sent by the first emperor to be honest." After that, the shopkeeper shook his head in self-conscious dissatisfaction and sneered, "It depends on whether you are lucky or not, and where you live. Under the rule. Love the people like a son, to put it nicely, the emperor can't even manage his own family affairs, how can he take care of the people?" The implication of these words is that the Ding You coup 12 years ago, the royal family fought against each other. It's a shame.

Seeing that Tang Ci's eyes turned from joy to sadness, Rou Ke silently stroked the back of her hand to express her comfort.

The shopkeeper suddenly realized that he had overstated his words, so he sat aside with his arms folded and stopped talking.

After resting for a while, Tangci and Rouke paid the money and got up and wanted to leave, but they saw a little girl with unkempt hair and face brought by the store from nowhere, pushed her forward, and begged apologetically, "It's about the guard." The soldiers at the gate of the city didn’t like it. They sneaked into the city yesterday and fell in front of my house. When I woke up today, all the elders and relatives in her family were gone. There are still three or four picked children in my house. I really can’t move. No more. I don’t want to bother you, Boss Xu, the number one good person in the city, is opening a rice warehouse to help the common people. I can’t get away from the teahouse, so you take her there and ask Boss Xu if he wants to take her in? If you want to come, He must be willing."

Tang said: "Boss Xu? But Xu Qian?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, and nodded: "Boss Xu is so famous that he went out to Huzhou?" He pointed to Tangci and Rouke, bent down and comforted the little girl.

The little girl stayed where she was and refused to leave. She didn't cry or make trouble, but she just refused to leave and stared at the shopkeeper.

When you are in deep trouble and have no relatives, if you meet nectar after a long drought, you can easily entrust your whole heart to others.

Tangci couldn't help but think of himself on the banks of the Lancang River 12 years ago. He woke up groggy after taking a sip of water. His eyes were the warm sunshine in the morning, and his ears were the trickling water. He looked to the left and then to the right. I looked around, and there was no one around.When I stood up, I could see the blue waves in the distance, and when I turned around, I could see the continuous mountains. My younger brother and younger sister were gone, and my father, mother, and Rou Ke were no longer there. I couldn’t go back to Xindu, the capital city.

Flying geese flying overhead, the wind whistling in the late winter, poured into the ears, but it turned into the gentle and heavy voice of the father when he was enlightened in elementary school:

"Emperor Jin Ming was a few years old and sat on Emperor Yuan's lap. Someone came from Chang'an, and Emperor Yuan asked Luo for news, and his tears flowed down... He looked up to see the sun, but he did not see Chang'an."

I can see the sun with my eyes, but I can't see Chang'an...

Only then did Tang Ci understand that she was so sad that she couldn't shed tears.

"Follow me." Tang Ci lowered his head and patted the little girl's head lightly.

Comparing her height with her eyes, it is speculated that she is only five or six years old. Not all children of this age can survive like I did back then.

The little girl was still silent, and after a while, she knelt down and kowtowed to the shopkeeper a few times before following Tang Ci and Rou Ke step by step.

The footsteps were light and heavy, Rou Ke couldn't help but look back, seeing that her legs and feet were not very flexible, she hugged her in her arms, frowned and asked, "Where is the injury?"

Xu Shi pretended to be an old couple for a long time, Tangci shook his head and blurted out: "A loving mother often loses her son."

It was an unintentional remark, but Rou Ke blushed and gave her a blank look: "When you were a toddler, your knees were swollen, didn't you cry and seek your aunt's hug?"

Tang Ci was a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, and as soon as he finished speaking, he started to roll up the trousers for the little girl to check the injury, and smiled at Rou Ke: "You don't know, I wanted to find you to hug me, but you only cared about it at that time. Dou Hanshan."

"You can say something nice to coax people, how old were you at that time, did you recognize me?" Tang Ci's tone of taste was extremely tasteful, and she was jealous of her own sister, which made Rou Ke smile.

Tang Ci didn't raise his head, but only slightly curled his lips: "When I was full moon, I only smiled at you. Do you think I can recognize you clearly or not?"

Rou Ke lightly gouged her out and didn't answer.

The left ankle was swollen a lot. I took off the small cloth shoes and saw that the instep was shiny.

Rou Ke couldn't help but let out a low cry, and asked her with concern: "How did you do it?"

The little girl didn't care much, and replied slowly: "I accidentally twisted it while I was on the way."

Tang Ci pinched his ankle and looked up and down, then asked, "Is it hurting a lot? Find a doctor?"

The little girl shook her head, staring directly at Tang Ci with her big round eyes, and said in a childish voice, "It doesn't hurt, brothers and sisters, you should take care of your business first."

Such an obedient and sensible child, but without the protection of her parents and elders, Rou Ke's heart softened, and she pushed her up with all her strength, making her hug her neck, and only smiled with her after looking at Tang Ci Said: "Our business is in line with your business."

Xu Qian, the left governor of the five armies in the capital at the time of the first emperor, resigned and returned to his hometown after the Dingyou coup.If it was said that Tang Ci was looking for someone else, Rou Ke would still have doubts, but if it was Xu Qian, she felt at ease.I still remember that when the new emperor set up a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, when the mountain shouted long live, Xu Qian smashed the wat board and threw his official hat on the spot. The new emperor down.He also picked a good time, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven should not be bloody and violent, and all the civil and military officials kowtowed their heads to plead for mercy, saying that Mr. Xu drank too much and lost his official manners, and the emperor's face was ashen and made him go back to the mansion to think about it. After a few days, He handed in his resignation.

It is easy to get a thousand soldiers but hard to find a general. The emperor cherishes his talent and cannot bear to kill him. He only hopes that he will change his mind and become an official again in the future, but he has been looking forward to this for 12 years without a trace.

Xu House.

Not long after, Tang Ci and Rou Ke cleaned up and were led into the hall, while the little girl was temporarily taken to the backyard to be resettled.

Xu Qian winked, and the waiters in the hall retreated.

After 12 years, wearing men's clothing again, Xu Qian looked at Tangci for a long time, saw the mouth from the eyes, and looked back from the mouth to the eyes, but he couldn't find the shadow of Princess Yongjia who was carved in powder and jade. My niece walked up and down in front of my eyes all day long, but the emperor couldn't recognize her.

Sure enough, the world is changing, and the sea is changing.

Being glanced at by Rou Ke who was sitting on the side with Tang Ci, Xu Qian hurriedly coughed lightly, retracted his unrestrained gaze, and cupped his hands at Tang Ci: "I'm sorry Your Highness, I...have lost my manners. "

Tang Ci smiled and said: "Mr. Xu was joking, there is no such thing as 'His Royal Highness' here."

Xu Qian coughed again, corrected his sitting posture, stroked his beard, and said casually: "I have received the handwritten letter from Mr. Qin, you have entered the city long ago, why are you here now? Besides... I heard that you are here When you lined up in front of the mansion to get the rice, you asked me many times?"

"It's not about inquiring, it's about understanding, just like Mr. Xu has been followed closely since we entered the city." Tang Ci smiled again, and his clear eyes were full of smiles, "Thus, those who don't know the schemes of the princes can't hesitate." Interaction is a good strategy for the master."
