Jinghong Tower

Chapter 283 Cloth Rat
The only person Yuan Xiaodong could use was Zeng Fu.

However, through constant contact, Yuan Xiaodong and Zeng Fu also became true friends.

One afternoon, while the emperor was taking a nap, Yuan Xiaodong met Zeng Fu quietly. The two teenagers were sitting behind two large banana plants in the back garden, their figures obscured by the huge leaves.

"Xiao Fuzi, do you have any ideals? Or, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?"

Zeng Fu grinned and showed a bright smile: "In the future, I want to be like my cousin, a big manager. I can eat whatever I want and go wherever I want."

"Don't you want to go home?" Yuan Xiaodong asked.

The smile on Zeng Fu's face disappeared: "My mother died, and my father married my stepmother. She didn't like me, so she sold me while my father was not at home.

You said she was so wicked and it was not good to sell me to anyone, but she wanted to sell me to Xiao Daoliu.

But don't feel sorry for me. I was lucky. I met my cousin when I entered the house. My cousin taught my father a lesson and forced him to divorce his stepmother.

My father cried and kowtowed to my cousin. Haha, it was so ridiculous to me. I will never go back to that ruined family in my life. "

Yuan Xiaodong patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, I won't go back."

"Xiaodong, what do you want to do in the future? If you ask me this, do you still want to go home? For people like us, eight out of ten were sold by family members. Do you really want to go home?" Zeng Fu asked.

Yuan Xiaodong shook his head: "I don't have a family. My mother was abducted when she was a girl and sold to several families. Then she gave birth to me. They said I was a bastard. Before I met my godfather, I only had a name. Of course, there is no family name.”

Zeng Fu was heartbroken, Yuan Xiaodong was even worse than him.

"Xiaodong, my cousin said that the emperor will not last long. Sooner or later, this throne will belong to Prince Qi. What are your plans? If you want to change places, I will ask my cousin to think of ways to replace you, otherwise you will stay with the emperor. It won’t end well.”

Yuan Xiaodong raised his head and looked at the sky: "I want to go back to the north. My godfather is still in the capital, and I also want to provide for him until his death."

Zeng Fu sighed: "Actually, my cousin also wants to go back."

"Why? Your cousin is an old man next to Prince Qi. When Prince Qi becomes emperor, your cousin will definitely be made a general manager." Yuan Xiaodong said.

Zeng Fu was helpless: "It's because my cousin is an old man next to Prince Qi that I don't want to stay here.

My cousin has been in the palace since Prince Qi became a feudal lord. My cousin has stayed in Prince Qi's mansion for as many years as he has. To be honest, my cousin may know some things better than the princess.

You think, if the prince ascends the throne, can people like my cousin still live? "

Yuan Xiaodong's eyes widened: "Xiao Fuzi, you know so much. I see you laughing and joking all day long, but I didn't expect you to think so far."

Zeng Fu said: "This is not what I thought. This is what my cousin said. You know, my cousin doesn't even have a godson, and I am the only relative around him.

Since I came to Jinling, my cousin always sighs in private. By the way, my cousin said that even if something happens to him, he can't bring me in. He still wants to send me away.

In fact, I don’t want to leave. Where else can people like us go? Apart from the palace, it’s the palace. I want to be a big manager like my cousin. Alas, I’m quite conflicted too. "

From the moment he was purified, he stayed with his cousin in the palace, and his cousin protected him from wind and rain. He did not suffer any injustice like other young chamberlains, and everything went smoothly for him.

He didn't want to leave his cousin, and he didn't know what else he could do if he left here.

The two teenagers sighed, their usual smiles no longer on their faces. "Xiao Fuzi, isn't my godfather left in the capital?
When I came here, my godfather said he would find a way for someone to contact me. After thinking about it these past few days, I think the person sent by my godfather should be nearby.

You said, could it be in that grocery store? After all, except for the two grocery stores, there are only high-ranking officials and dignitaries in this area. I heard that the servants in the houses of high-ranking officials and dignitaries are all born in the family. They are definitely not people sent by my godfather. "

Zeng Fu said: "This is not difficult. I will go and explore. Xiaodong, leave this matter to me. I will go tomorrow."

Yuan Xiaodong took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Zeng Fu: "When you hand the handkerchief to them, you say you want to exchange it with them. If so, they will take the handkerchief and give it to you again." If not, they will definitely not accept the veil."

"So fun?" Zeng Fu became interested.

Yuan Xiaodong's handkerchief has been used for who knows how many years, it is so old that the edges are frayed.

Who would trade anything for this old veil?

The next day, Zeng Fu went to the first grocery store. As soon as he took out the old handkerchief, he was kicked out.

It was very unpleasant to see him as a eunuch, but he wanted to use an old veil to exchange for something. Isn't this asking for a beating?
That is to say, because he came from the palace, he didn't want to cause trouble, otherwise he might really get beaten.

Zeng Fu went to the second shop, but the owner was not there. The person looking after the shop was a woman in her early thirties, who seemed to be a maid here.

Zeng Fu took out the handkerchief. The woman glanced at him and folded the handkerchief into a little mouse in front of him. The woman handed the little mouse to him and said, "Take it and play with it."

Zeng Fu asked hurriedly: "What do you call your sister-in-law?"

The woman said: "My name is Hehua, you can just call me Sister-in-law Hehua."

Zeng Fu entered the palace holding the little mouse folded with a handkerchief. The Yu Lin army at the door touched him as usual, but no one looked at the little mouse in his hand.

Zeng Fu handed the little mouse to Yuan Xiaodong, who almost cried.

After so long, he finally got in touch with his family.

This seemingly ordinary little mouse is the secret code for connection!

Really, the person who came up with this secret code must be a genius. Who would have thought that their secret code was this.

Lotus sister-in-law, lotus, what flower, what!

Where no one could see him, Yuan Xiaodong wiped away his tears.

From then on, Zeng Fu often went to that shop. Every time, he would give an old handkerchief to He Hua. When he left, he would take away the little mouse that He Hua had folded. It was just different from the first time. Every time the veil he handed to He Hua was different from the one folded into a little mouse.

Zeng Fu guessed that there must be a letter from Yuan Xiaodong's godfather hidden in the little mouse.

Zeng Fu is quite envious. He has never received a letter in his entire life.

When he returned to his residence that day, his cousin dismissed the little chamberlain who was waiting around him, closed the door and window, and said to Zeng Fu in a low voice: "The King of Jin and the King of Kaizhou are both finished. I think our prince most likely wants to ascend the throne early."

Zeng Fu remembered what his cousin said to him, and his heart sank: "Uncle, what should we do?"

My cousin sighed: "I know that the prince has too many secrets, and they are all shady. If the prince wants to ascend the throne, there will be no one left alive. My child, you are my cousin's only relative. My cousin has already found a way to send you away." You go to Dajing Temple to become a monk."
