Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 95
It was so cold that the capital city was so white after the snow that it was hard to tell which was the sky and which was the earth.The Chinese New Year has just passed, and the people who have been noisy for several days are a little tired. In the afternoon, there is no crowd on the street. There are all urchins playing snowball fights and making snowmen. I can't even see the shadow of a person.

Xiaoshizikou Hutong is located in the northeast corner of the capital. The land is not big, and there are only two or three families. However, the people who live there are all officials, but their official positions are not too high. They are just ordinary officials in the capital. It's just that the capital is Chai Migui, and these families can't afford too many servants, so they can't be popular.

A gust of wind blew up some scattered snowflakes on the roof, and it was cold when it fell on his face. A scholar in a white coat and carrying a small package reached out to wipe the snow off his face, looking at the snowflakes on his face. Little Shizikou Hutong let out a sigh of relief, feeling a rush of heat in his heart—he finally arrived, although it was a bit late, but after so many years, he didn't care about being late, did he?This young scholar in white clothes is Wu Sidao whom Yinzuo is looking for so hard.

Wu Sidao, courtesy name Wang Lu, was born in Jinling, Shaoxing.Jin Chengfeng, Wu Sidao's uncle, the current head of the Ministry of Rites, a fifth-rank Beijing official, lives in this little Shizikou Hutong.

Although Wu Sidao was talented, his family was poor. After so many years, he never dared to come to meet his relatives, but this time he had to come - it was rumored that his uncle planned to marry his daughter to someone else.Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, because of emotion and reason, Wu Sidao will have to go to the capital, so even though the exam period is approaching, he has no choice but to come to the capital.

The gate of Jin's house was covered with black paint and the courtyard walls were also potholed. It could be seen that it hadn't been repaired for many years.Come to think of it, a small Beijing official of the fifth rank has nothing to earn, and life is really not easy in a place where the rich and powerful gather in the capital.Wu Sidao stood at the gate for a while, mustered up his courage, and knocked on the door of Jin's house.

After a long while, there was a sound from inside the door, and a gray-haired old doorman unsteadily opened a crack of the door, popped up and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Jin's house, Jin Chengfeng? Wansheng Wu Sidao, it's..." Wu Sidao pondered for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Wansheng is Mr. Jin's cousin."

"Oh." The old man nodded and said, "Wait, I'll report to you right away."

Wu Sidao walked around the spot a little restlessly, wondering what to say when he saw his aunt and uncle.Not long after the old door left, a middle-aged woman rushed out, with tears in her eyes, and asked in a choked voice: "You are Xiaoshan, are you really Xiaoshan?"

Xiaoshan is Wu Sidao's nickname, and the only family in the world who can know this nickname is his aunt. Wu Sidao has no doubt that the middle-aged woman in front of him is his aunt. A small red cloth bag was untied, revealing a crested hairpin, and said excitedly: "My nephew has seen my aunt."

The crested hairpin was a token of engagement between the two families, and it was originally an ancestral item of the Jin family. The middle-aged woman recognized the authenticity of the crested hairpin at a glance, and immediately hugged Wu Sidao and burst into tears: " Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, you are finally here, sorry for your parents leaving early, they have suffered for you all these years..."

Rao Wu Sidao has always been calm and calm, and at this moment he was crying a little out of breath. After the two hugged each other and cried for a while, the aunt led Wu Sidao into the room, and said as they walked: "Your uncle is on duty today. You can only go back at night, Xiaoshan has worked hard all the way, so let's take a rest and wait for your uncle to come back, so we can have a good chat."

Wu Sidao was really exhausted after driving for more than a month. Although he really wanted to ask about his cousin, he couldn't open his mouth right now, so he had to follow the white-haired old servant to rest in the room by himself, but he couldn't help it in his heart. It's a little strange - I didn't see my cousin coming to say hello. It stands to reason that when my cousin is here, a cousin has to come out to meet her, and avoiding suspicion is not the way to avoid it.

When it was getting dark, Jin Chengfeng, who was on duty, finally returned home.Wu Sidao followed the white-haired old servant to the lobby, and from a distance, he saw Jin Chengfeng, who was wearing an official uniform, sitting happily in the lobby, walked a few steps in a hurry, and went up to meet him: "Nephew Xiaoshan, to uncle Goodbye."

"Okay, okay, okay, it's not easy to come to Xiaoshan, just stay here for a few more days, and our father and I will have a good relationship." Jin Chengfeng stretched out his hand to support Wu Sidao, and said cheerfully: "Come on, come on , Come on, have a meal first, and talk about it later."

There are not many dishes, that is, four meat and two vegetables, and the wine is also average. There are only two people, Jin Chengfeng and Wu Sidao, eating slowly and chatting about the weather and other nonsense.The doubts in Wu Sidao's heart became deeper and deeper: It's been such a long time, and I haven't seen my cousin yet, and my uncle didn't mention anything about the engagement, could it be...

Wu Sidao's heart was heavy, and the food was even more unusable.After finally surviving the meal, Wu Sidao found an opening in the topic, and asked tentatively: "Uncle, why haven't you seen your cousin?"

"Ah, your cousin, um, your cousin has been going to a relative's house these two days, and she will be back in a few days." Jin Chengfeng's words were tinged with panic. Strange, my heart sank suddenly, and I said in silence for a long time: "Uncle, my nephew is here to pick up the bride, my nephew and cousin are not young, my nephew wants to..."

Jin Chengfeng interrupted Wu Sidao, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, getting married is a major event in life, okay, okay, okay"

Jin Chengfeng was full of good things, but he didn't say what the good things were, and he didn't mention when Wu Sidao would marry him.At this moment, with Wu Si's shrewdness, how can he not see that Jin Chengfeng has already changed his mind, and then think of the fact that there is no cousin in this house, and he can't even tell where the boudoir is. I couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed and a little bit angry in my heart, suppressing the pain in my heart and saying quietly: "My nephew plans to return to his hometown in a few days, I don't know..."

Jin Chengfeng interrupted Wu Sidao again: "Xiaoshan is tired from a long distance, let's go to rest first, can we discuss tomorrow if we have something to do?"

Wu Sidao was both sad and angry in his heart, originally planned to leave the Jin Mansion immediately, but firstly, it was getting late now, and it was not easy to find a place to shoot, secondly, he still had a fluke mentality in his heart, and did not reject Jin Chengfeng According to the arrangement, I followed the white-haired old servant back to the room, but I couldn't fall asleep anyway, and lay quietly on the bed thinking about my thoughts.

It was very late at night, and Wu Sidao, who couldn't fall asleep, got up and walked to the yard to relax.The courtyard of Jin’s house is not big, and there are only four or five rooms in the courtyard three times. The room Wu Sidao lives in is the guest room, which is just opposite the main room. As soon as he walked out of the yard, he heard a low noise coming from the main room. The sound of sobbing sounded like the cry of an aunt, and I couldn't help but feel a little curious in my heart. There was no one around, so I walked slowly.

As soon as I walked to the window, I heard my aunt crying softly: "... My brother's family is only left with Xiaoshan. If he is thrown into prison, how can he be worthy of my poor brother..."

"At this point, it's the only way to go. Xiu Gu is married, so there's nothing I can do about it." Jin Chengfeng said in a low voice.

Wu Sidao's mind exploded with a buzzing sound, and suddenly he felt dizzy, his heart was filled with grief, he shook his body, walked to the corner, and wept silently.He couldn't figure out what was going on, why his only relative treated him like this, even if he repented and remarried, he still wanted to send him to prison, is there any reason for this?
I don't know how much time has passed, but Wu Sidao was awakened by the sound of tables and chairs in the main room, his heart trembled, he knew that the Jin family could not stay for long, if he was really framed by Jin Chengfeng and imprisoned, it would be a great injustice .Wu Sidao went back to his own room, picked up the package, went out quietly, walked through the courtyard door carefully, and came to the gate, only to see two thick crossbars tied to the door, Wu Sidao was worried that the sound of pulling the crossbar would alarm Jin At home, he didn't open the door, moved a ladder at the foot of the wall, climbed up to the top of the wall, and jumped down with his eyes closed.

Although the Jin family is not rich, it is an official family after all. The courtyard wall is a bit dilapidated, but the courtyard wall is still very high. Wu Sidao is just a scholar. It’s really strange for a martial arts master to jump like this without any problems—— Wu Sidao’s foot snapped abruptly, and a burst of severe pain caused Wu Sidao to faint, and he was woken up by the pain again not long after, the pea-sized Sweat dripped down like a waterfall, and was blown by the cold wind, forming ice slag.

Wu Sidao didn't dare to cry out, but resisted the pain, and slowly crawled forward, leaving a trail of blood and ice.At this moment, he has only one thought, to leave!The farther you go, the better.Crawling, crawling, the pain and the cold finally made him unable to resist, and he fell into a coma, but just before he fell into a coma, he vaguely saw a group of people and horses coming in front of him, surrounded by a large sedan chair...
