Chapter fifty-ninth, as expected
Du Ruhui's wife Qi was about 45 or 46 years old, but because her husband died young, Qi was widowed and looked a little old. She had a few white hairs on her head. She came to the Duke's Mansion in a sedan chair and was welcomed into the back house by the wife of Yiguo himself.
Qin Qiong's wife, Mrs. Li, is older than Qi's family. The two have a good relationship in private, so they have always been a sister.
"I haven't seen each other for many days, and my sister has cleared a lot. You must pay attention to your health." Looking at Qi's gray hair, Li said with concern.
"Thank you for your concern. My little sister is fine. I don't know why my sister posted to invite my little sister over? Is it so formal, is there something urgent?"
At this time, Qin Qiong strode in from outside. Qin Qiong is slightly two years younger than Du Ruhui, so he bowed to Qi and said to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I have something to ask for my sister-in-law, so I asked my sister-in-law to go to the house for a lecture."
"General Qin?" Qi was puzzled. Usually Qin Qiong had something to discuss with her husband. Now that her husband is gone, what should she do?
After waving the maids around him back, Qin Qiong asked, "When I remember that Brother Nian Keming had asked me to find someone, and I claimed that only I knew about this matter. Unfortunately, the weather did not follow others' wishes at that time. Qin had no gains. He was ashamed of Brother Keming. Do you know about this matter? "
When he heard this, Qi was obviously nervous and excited, as if he had remembered something sad, and said with a sad face: "Hey, those are all children who have suffered for me."
Mrs. Li, the wife of Yiguo, was confused and said, "Child? Is there something wrong with your eldest son Du Gou or Erlang Du He?"
"Neither." Shaking his head, Qi said the whole story, "My husband and I got married during the war. We actually had an eldest son in front of Gou'er. Unfortunately, on the way to Chang'an and the rebels, the two-year-old child was lost in the war."
"Ah? Then, what happened later? Did you find it?" Li exclaimed.
"We searched for it for ten days, but we searched for it without success. Later, we had no choice but to settle down under the Tang throne in Chang'an. Later, my husband sent people to search for it many times, but there was no result. Gradually, we all lost hope. Such a young child was in war again, and it was probably a disaster.
Later, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we had Gou'er and He'er again, so gradually we looked for the previous boss less and did not promote it too much, so no one knew it."
"Then why not report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to help find it?" Li said inexplicably. After all, after King Li Shimin of Qin took office, Du Ruhui was promoted to prime minister and was very favored. Isn't it a trivial matter to find someone?
Qin Qiong explained: "Brother Keming is strict with himself, how could he be the one who uses public power to do private affairs?"
"General Qin said it is right, and that's what his husband said, and at that time we all thought that the child was no longer in the world and there was no need to bother others.
But that year, I met Master Yuan Tiangang in Laojun Temple. My husband couldn't help asking the other party to help me divinate a divination. The hexagram showed that the child was still alive. Unfortunately, Master Yuan could not calculate the location, but gave a prompt, saying that he could try it with General Qin.
My husband thought it was right. General Qin was born in a green forest and had a prominent position in the world. He might be able to help find out the whereabouts of his child."
Qin Qiong nodded: "Yes, that's why Brother Keming came to me that year. I had a good personal relationship, so Qin did not refuse, but unfortunately it was still fruitless."
He said this on the surface, but a wave appeared in Qin Qiong's heart. It was Yuan Tiangang's guidance to find him. He didn't find it at that time, but wasn't he who found it today? Could it be that this immortal Yuan wanted to be here at that time? That's too amazing.
Qi wiped his tears and sighed in a low voice: "Hey, my miserable child, I still miss you when my husband was dying, but unfortunately I never met you again."
Mrs. Yiguo comforted her a few words, and wiped her tears as she was also infected. Qi said again: "But it would be great if she could get the news that he was still alive. Finally, she was still alive, and we and my wife would be at ease."
Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, then, I wonder what tokens you have when you lost your child?"
Qi was stunned, "Token? I wonder why General Qin said this? Could it be that you still want to help find it again? But, but..."
Li, who was next to him, advised: "Silly sister, why don't you look for your own flesh and blood? Don't say that my husband has some connections. Even if he is not in the Green Forest, with our current status and without public power, he can still spend money to hire someone to inquire. Don't be polite about the relationship between you and me."
"No, I miss my eldest son for a day. However, before my husband died, he told him that finding a child when he was alive is a blessing, but if he is no longer alive, there is no need to look for him anymore. Even if he is found, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a disaster for the child.
Although I don’t understand very much, my husband explained that way at that time.” Qi explained.
"At that time, I was still complaining and objecting. Later, I thought about it. In fact, my husband was thinking about the child forever. He sighed regretfully: I have not raised my child, but I have no chance to give the name to my child. After all, the fate of my father and son is too shallow.
Before leaving, he blamed himself. If he hadn't been greedy for wealth and honor, his family would have joined the charity master, he would not have harmed the child and caused the separation of his flesh and blood."
Mrs. Li, the wife of Yiguo, said in confusion: "Why is Du Xiang like this? If the child is wandering outside and suffering, how can he find a good place to enjoy wealth?"
But Qin Qiong understood, and at the same time understood the reason why Cheng Yaojin was deliberately dissuading him at the inn. It turned out that Du Xiang had long thought of it and was worthy of being the think tank of the Tang Dynasty.
"What do you know? If Brother Keming is here, he will find his son and his son to recognize each other, and he can make a steady future for his son. There is no need to say that.
But now Brother Keming is gone, and the child is the eldest son again. If he is found, what should Du Gou, who has inherited his father's Duke of Lai? Will he give up his throne to his elder brother? Not to mention whether Du Gou is willing or not, even the court may not have such a thing. He will take back the title that he has been in for six years and give it to a stranger who has no foundation again.
Brother Keming expected it was right. It was a blessing or a disaster if this matter was not good. If Du Gou was unwilling to give up, it would cause the brothers to be tragic... "
Qi exclaimed: "This, Gou'er, he should..."
But after talking hesitantly for a long time, he did not come to a conclusion with certainty. Who can guarantee that he can let go without being tempted?
At this time, Qin Qiong was a little confused. He invited someone to inform the good news. Now, there were obstacles and problems before he could speak. It was very confusing to say or not.
