Chapter 335: Things are there, people are not

Brother Rong asked the boy to bring him a brocade box containing twenty fans.

The stone idiot couldn't wait to open it and looked down at the fan in the box. He didn't reach out to open the fan and take a closer look. Instead, his face was half happy and half weeping, like a madman. He also completely forgot about the people next to him, as if

In this world there are only stone idiots and the fan in his eyes.

Uncle Rong was about to remind the idiot to open the fan and take a look, but he saw the idiot running into the hall holding the brocade box.

"What a rude person." The boy next to him snorted, "I worked so hard to bring you the fan, but he didn't even say thank you."

Uncle Rong was not surprised, he just glared at the boy and followed suit.

Just because in the past two days, Uncle Rong had already inquired about the life experience of this stone idiot. This man was originally from Jiangnan, and his family was very prosperous in his early years. Although it was not as good as the four Jinling families, it was still the leading wealthy family in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

It is said that when Shi Daizi was young, his family built a large garden in Jiangnan.

However, more than 20 years ago, Shi Dazi's home was raided when he was only a teenager. The women of the Shi family, including their wives, grandmothers, and sisters, were sold and died of illness; the men of the Shi family, young and old, were all forced to go to Beijing.

In the confinement, thanks to the help of a certain prince, An's birthday lasted for a few years, but the Shi family, who was accustomed to wealth and wealth, died within a few years, leaving only Shi Duozi.

Later, a certain prince was convicted and died of illness in prison, which made the idiot even worse.

The stone idiot lived by these fans every day, unwilling to do anything, not even leaving the door.

He is also a poor man.

Uncle Rong sighed softly, then saw that Shi Duozi had placed the brocade box on the table, and then ran to the big water tank in the corner of the courtyard to wash his hands with his back excitedly.

When Shi Duozi washed his hands, he was very serious and focused, as if he was performing a special ritual. He had to carefully wash every part of the skin and every corner of his hands. There were also the dark nails,

He also used his fingernail to pick up some soap and wash it carefully.

Uncle Rong was watching from the side, and the boy next to him was also observing this surprising scene.

Shi Duozi was sloppy, but he had already washed his hands three or four times at this moment. Every time he did so, he was so serious and focused, not at all perfunctory, and at the same time, he acted as if Uncle Rong and others did not exist.

After washing for a long time, he went to find a quite clean white handkerchief and wiped his hands. He did so carefully and carefully, over and over again.

Finally putting the veil away, he walked solemnly to the brocade box. He carefully took out a fan and opened it gently. The picture on the fan was of a turning back elk walking among the mountains and rivers. It was indeed an old painting.

Shi Duozi looked at it carefully for a while, with joy on his face, as if he was remembering something.

Uncle Rong saw him gently put away the elk fan, and took another one from the brocade box. This time he opened it, and the fan showed a pair of beauties walking by the river, with a bunch of bamboo beside it.

The stone idiot looked at the fan for a while, the joy on his face long gone.

Uncle Rong could only see the tears falling from the corners of the idiot's eyes. He quickly asked: "But something went wrong? Is this the wrong fan?"

Although Shi DaZi was crazy, he didn't stop when he saw the fan. He stroked the edges of the fan with his fingers and murmured: "The fan is right, the painting is right, the things are there, but the people are not."

The stone idiot raised his head in grief, and suddenly vomited blood.

But Uncle Rong was startled and asked quickly: "But he suffered a big disaster in the Yamen?"

Shi Duozi didn't answer. He raised his arm and wiped his mouth, wiping away the blood on his lips. He put down the Xiang Fei fan in his hand and looked at the other fans.

Polygonatum odorifera, palm bamboo, orchid, osmanthus, etc., I have seen them one by one.

Silent for a long time.

Uncle Rong raised his hand and summoned the boy to take some money, and said: "Brother Shi, please be gentle, it's time for me to go back. Today, I paid for the money for my elders in the family. Brother Shi, please take care of yourself."

The stone idiot stood stupidly, as if he had not yet come out of his sadness. He muttered twice, "Things are there, but people are not. Things are there, but people are not. Only big dreams will wake you up, and big dreams will wake you up."

"Brother Shi?" Uncle Rong looked at him doubtfully, wondering if he should find an imperial doctor to check on him. However, after hearing Shi Duzi chant twice, he suddenly sang a song.

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they cannot forget their fame!

Where are the generals of ancient and modern times? A pile of grass has disappeared in the deserted graves.

Everyone knows that gods are good, but gold and silver cannot be forgotten!

In the end, I only regretted that there was not much to gather, and when the time came, my eyes closed.

Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but my wife can never forget them!

I express my gratitude to you on your birthday, but you will go with others after your death.

Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only children and grandchildren can never forget them!

Jia Rong frowned and asked, "Who taught this song?"

I didn't wait for Shiduzi's answer, I just saw him smiling.

Giggling, giggling, giggling.

And smiled bitterly.

"Can't forget, can't forget, people are gone."

Uncle Rong stared blankly for a while, then shook his head secretly and led the boy out of the yard. Although he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he was more concerned about whether this person had anything to do with the Holy Cult of Ping'an Prefecture.

Keep in mind what you saw and heard today, and plan to go back home to find Jia Jing to ask clearly.

However, Jia Yucun in the Shuntian Mansion Yamen was not at ease, and even more annoyed. He actually thought that he was kind-hearted, but he was embarrassed. He also heard that the palace guards were coming, and he quickly tidied up his appearance and put on a flattering smile to greet him.

When Uncle Rong returned home, he didn't ask anything from Jia Jing. He only knew that the Shi family had been on good terms with the deposed prince.

In this cold winter, not much happens anymore.

It was just the news at the end of the year that surprised many people.

Jia Rong was appointed as the envoy of the water conservancy camp. Each of the water conservancy camp was under the control of camp affairs, and his official rank ranged from the third rank. Wang Ziteng was promoted to the capital inspection post of nine provinces. Jia Yucun was awarded the title of Grand Sima, and he was the assistant military counselor.

affairs of state.

No one expected that Jia Yucun would suddenly rise into the wind. Not to mention Brother Rong, even Jia Lian was quite surprised. On the contrary, the silly Jia She was very happy for Jia Yucun.

Anyway, several families have held banquets, and Brother Rong has not been able to take any time off in the past few days.

"Brother Rong's house is really lively. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess would also come today." The Princess of Beijing County said calmly.

Brother Rong scratched the back of his neck. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't invite them at all. It's just a fun time for the family. Not only did the prince come, but the eldest prince also gave a gift. Madam, why don't you go over and listen to the show?

?”

"It's boring after listening to the same play too many times." The princess of the county said calmly.

"Then I'll call my wife to accompany my wife to enjoy the snow and go to the garden." Uncle Rong smiled. The same goes for the county princess. The other foreign guests had also dispersed after the banquet, and the female family members were all warming up by the fire and listening to the opera upstairs.

But she wanted to go downstairs and walk around.

"Your daughter-in-law is accompanying the old lady. The old lady is happy to see that there is a promising person in the family. Let her take care of her and listen to her chatter. Brother Rong will accompany me for a walk."

"You can only obey orders."

"Are you still unwilling?" the princess asked in surprise.
