Chapter 156: He Guanglie
At this time, Zhao Yingchuan's entourage ran over from afar and whispered a few words in his ear.
He Linwan has a good ear, and faintly heard that someone is coming.
After the entourage finished speaking, Zhao Yingchuan thought for a while and said to He Linwan: "There are some things at home, I'm afraid I have to leave first, if you have anything in the future, you can send someone to He'antang Pharmacy to send me news, all He'antang Pharmacy in Shandong is the Zhao family's industry." ”
He Linwan nodded: "If Brother Zhao has something, go first, pay attention to safety on the road." ”
Zhao Yingchuan nodded, was silent for a while, and finally didn't seem to think of anything to say, so he left without delay.
Soon after Zhao Yingchuan left, the five princes also left with some men and horses for some reason, and then He Linwan and their carriage followed the imperial convoy and continued in the direction of Laizhou Mansion.
Due to the long delay on the road, by the time their convoy arrived at Laizhou Mansion, it was already dark, the city gate had been closed, and finally the accompanying officials called the city gate open. The five princes and their entourage arrived in the middle of the night, and I heard that the five princes, who had been smiling and welcoming people, came back with a very ugly face.
Early the next morning, the convoy, which had rested overnight, continued in the direction of Dengzhoufu.
On the carriage, Chunxiao reported the news he heard from one of He Guangzong's entourage to He Linwan: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince led people to chase after that gang of thieves and wanted to catch them all, but he didn't want to catch them up. Later, I learned that this group of stupid thieves actually strayed into the Dengzhou Guard's training place, and was caught by the Dengzhou Guards who sharpened their knives. After the fifth prince learned about it, he took someone to find a dignitary from Dengzhou Wei, and the two sides negotiated for a long time. In the end, Dengzhou Wei said that those thieves had done a lot of evil, and they were all extraordinary, and they were afraid of causing trouble, so they had taken the thieves who were arrested to Dengzhou Mansion overnight, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious on the spot. ”
He Linwan nodded and said that he understood.
Chunxiao was a little unsatisfied: "No matter what, this time it was Dengzhou Wei who made a great contribution! These guards sent by the imperial court were all arrogant, and what else did Commander Yan originally think was powerful! Sure enough, they were still not as good as the soldiers on the bloody battlefield......
He Lin leaned on the pillow and fell asleep, ignoring Chunxiao's chatter.
It is less than a day's journey from Laizhou to Dengzhou, and the capital of Dengzhou is located in Penglai County, which is near the sea. Because it is summer, the sun sets late. So when I arrived in Penglai County, the sky still had a little bit of color.
When he was about to enter the city gate. He Linwan smelled the fishy smell of seawater in the air, she opened the curtain and looked out, only to see the tall and majestic gate of Dengzhou Mansion.
He Linwan remembered reading in a book that Penglai City was built facing south. The thriving county seat is just to the south. To the north is a high cliff. From afar, you can see the seaside pavilion on the high cliff, which is the commanding height of the whole city. In addition, in the north of the city, there is a sluice to lead the sea into the city, where ships are shipped
But the book is shallow. After the carriage entered the city gate, He Linwan found that the entire Penglai County was a thorough water city, which made her feel a little new when she was born and grew up in the capital, which also made her more aware of the truth that her grandfather often said that "it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles".
When Chunxiao leaned over and looked out, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Girl, this place is really different from the capital!" Looking at it, Chunxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to one of the onlookers and said happily, "Girl, look, is that a knife and thunder?"
He Linwan looked along where Chunxiao was pointing, and happened to see a tall and heroic young man squeezing through the crowd and walking towards Wei's carriage in front. He Linwan naturally didn't know any swords and thunders, but judging by the situation, it should be an entourage of He Guanglie, who came to pick them up.
Sure enough, Mama Li came out of the car and said a few words to the young man called Daolei, and then returned to the carriage to report to Wei, and when Mama Li came out again, she let Daolei replace the driver who was originally driving the car and sat in the position of the wheel.
The convoy of the imperial court was going to the direction of the government office in Penglai County, and the He family and the convoy still walked slowly for a while, and when they reached a fork in the road, Dao Lei said hello to people, and then drove the carriage with the carriage of the He family and the convoy to part ways.
Penglai County is just a county seat, although it is an important garrison, but the entire inner city is not large, so the He family's carriage finally stopped in front of a house after crossing an avenue and turning two more corners. This house is much smaller than the house in the capital of the He family, there are only two entrances, and there is no way for the carriage to stop all at once, so it stops on the street in front of the house.
Chunxiao couldn't wait to wait for someone to call and jumped out of the car first, and then turned around to help He Linwan, and the Wei family in the carriage in front of him also happened to come down with Xiaohuzi.
And a woman who was waiting at the gate came over with a few maids at this time.
This woman looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a fair complexion. Mama Li's face sank as soon as she saw her, and Chunxiao also pursed her lips.
He Linwan immediately guessed the identity of this woman, and couldn't help but look at Wei.
Wei's expression was very calm, and he bent down to comb Xiaohuzi's somewhat messy hair.
"Qiu Xiang said hello to his wife. The woman walked up to Wei and saluted respectfully, and then saluted He Linwan and Xiaohuzi respectively, "Big girl, young master." ”
Behind her should be the person who is serving in this house, and also follows her like the Wei's mother and son to say hello.
Wei nodded to everyone, and led Xiaohuzi to the house first, and He Linwan immediately grabbed Wei's arm and followed.
When he entered the gate, Wei asked, "Where is your master?"
Qiu Xiang immediately said: "The master is in the main room, Mrs., please come with me." With that, he walked to the front and led the way.
Wei didn't say anything, and walked to the main house with his children.
The small house in the two entrances was only a few steps away, Wei paused slightly at the door of the main house, turned his head and instructed Mama Li: "Arrange Aunt Ying's residence first, pack the luggage they brought, and let people buy it immediately if they lack anything." ”
Mama Li originally wanted to go in with Wei, but when she saw that Wei sent her a job, she could only stop, and went with a few big maids.
When Wei instructed Mama Li, Qiu Xiang waited at the door, and when Wei came over, she opened the curtain for them, and then followed them into the main room. There are three main rooms, and the middle is the hall, He Linwan glanced at the layout of the room and knew that this was the handwriting of this Aunt Qiuxiang, this meticulous and exquisite style is definitely not the preference of a man who can casually name his garden "West Courtyard".
Qiu Xiang led them to the room on the right side of the hall, this is a bedroom, He Linwan couldn't help frowning as soon as he entered the room, and the square of this bedroom also revealed a gentle and graceful flavor everywhere.
Qiu Xianghe walked towards the side of the bed and said softly, "Master, Mrs. has brought the girl and the young master to see you." ”
He Linwan glanced at Wei Shi first, and Wei Shi was looking at the person lying on the bed in the bedroom.
On the bed was a man in his thirties, pale and black, with gauze wrapped around his head and legs, he was awake at the moment, and his eyes looked calm and determined, and he was looking at Wei steadily.
"Coming?" said the man in a hoarse voice, grinning when he was done, his lips were dry, and when he smiled, the crack cracked, and blood flowed from his mouth.
Qiu Xiang exclaimed, and immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, but He Guanglie raised his hand to push her away, and tried to probe Wei's: "Don't stand in my way! Zhen Niang, come here!"
Wei walked towards the bed, but before she could get closer, He Guanglie suddenly grabbed her hand.
Xiaohuzi was originally following behind Wei, and when he saw He Guanglie suddenly pull Wei over hard, he was stunned at first, and then rushed forward, pushed He Guanglie the chest, and grinned fiercely at him.
He Guanglie's body was full of large and small injuries, and when Xiaohuzi pushed him like this, he couldn't help but bow down and snort, but he grabbed Wei's hand and didn't let go.
Qiu Xiang's eyes were red when she saw the anxious on the side, and she immediately wanted to step forward to check He Guanglie's wound, but He Guanglie stood in front of the Wei mother and son, she couldn't squeeze in, and she didn't care about humility, and said to Xiaohuzi with some annoyance: "Young master, your father has an injury, you can't be reckless, if the wound is opened again, I don't know how to suffer." ”
Wei glanced at Qiu Xiang at this time, and Qiu Xiang also looked at Wei, with distress for He Guanglie in his eyes, and persistence in what he said. From the beginning of the meeting, Qiu Xiang has been supple, and it is only at this moment that she shows a trace of untamedness. However, from He Guanglie's point of view, she would not be disgusted by doing so.
"Watch out for your injuries. Wei slowly broke away from He Guanglie's hand, and lowered his head to Xiaohuzi and said gently, "Don't be rude to your father." ”
Xiaohuzi looked at Wei in confusion, and then frowned and looked at He Guanglie with a hostile gaze.
He Guanglie looked at Wei, then at the pair of children who were looking at him with unfamiliar eyes, scratched his head, and then turned to Qiu Xiang and said, "You go out first." ”
Qiu Xiang was stunned: "Master, you can't leave someone to serve here, I ......"
He Guanglie frowned: "Isn't Mrs. here?"
Qiu Xiang couldn't resist He Guanglie, so she had to wipe her tears and leave.
Now there is only a family of four left in the house.
Just when the room was quiet and He Linwan was thinking about what He Guanglie was going to say, He Guanglie copied Xiaohuzi over, put him face down on his lap with a turn of his hand, and then raised his hand and slapped Xiaohuzi's ass hard.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
Xiaohuzi was stunned, He Linwan was stunned, and Wei was also stunned. (To be continued.) )
