Chapter 55: Small Talk

The man saw that Yue Qianming and the others were still looking at him, as if he didn't know himself, but he didn't speak, and laughed as if the prank had succeeded, causing the officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side to look sideways, and the man glared back at those officials before saying: "It's still Qin'er, I can still remember my brother after so many years." You three wolf-hearted guys, you don't know you and me anymore. ”

Yue Qianming and the others reacted at this time, looking Zhao Pu up and down, the son-in-law who used to have red lips and white teeth and a good demeanor is now like this. However, between the eyebrows and eyes, you can still distinguish the appearance of the youth, but there is the shock brought by the abyss in front of you, and everyone quickly accepts Zhao Pu, who has become mature. I saw that Yu Chi Zhongming directly touched Zhao Pu's face as fast as lightning and said: "Master Pu, your change is indeed not small, I don't even recognize the fat master." ”

Then Qin Kongyu and Yue Qianming stepped forward and touched Zhao Pu's cheek on the side, and quipped: "Well, I really didn't rub the powder today, but you should really wipe some now, it's better to look good in vain." Zhao Pu saw that this group of guys was still the same as before, and said that he must have said that he couldn't say a few of them, and he went directly to his feet, and a few middle-aged men immediately made a mess like when they were teenagers, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites all looked at this side, and some people wanted to step forward to stop these people, if they were seen by the envoys of Jin and Xia, what kind of system would this be. But seeing that the official of the Ministry of Rites named Qian Mingshi at the head stopped these pets with his eyes, Yue Qianming and the three of them were okay, that Zhao Puke once had the title of the little demon king of the mixed world, and he had stayed for more than 20 years in such a place as the eastern border, and he had governed a county government that was once the poorest and the most popular county government in Zhao Xin's country into a place where the road was not left unturned, and the people were pure, and the wrists used in the early stage were very bloody. Besides, he is still a member of the royal family, the only son of the old prince of Dexian, with a deep background, how unwise it is to provoke this Zhao Pu for this trivial matter, I think they should be a little measured.

Zhao Qin'er glanced at the four middle-aged men helplessly, took the hand of the woman who got out of the car with Zhao Pu, came to Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan, and said to the woman: "Don't pay attention to them, they used to be like this, and they haven't been happy for many years." Then he introduced her to the identities of Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan.

I only heard the woman speak: "My name is Hua Yunrong, and this is the youngest son Zhao Yongting." The sound was like a clear mountain spring flowing slowly through a mountain stream. I heard the boy say, "Mother, why did you tell my name too, I still want to introduce myself." The three of them laughed, Zhao Qin'er smiled and leaned over to the little boy and said, "Come, Ting'er, let me introduce you, this is your Aunt Lu and Aunt Dan, and I am your aunt." ”

I only heard Zhao Yongting ask in a childish voice: "Are you the Aunt Qin that your father often talks about?"

Zhao Qin'er smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao Pu, who was fighting with Yue Qianming, and asked Zhao Yongting in a low voice: "Ting'er, tell your aunt, does your father often speak ill of your aunt?"

Xiao Zhao Yongting thought for a while and said, "No, I often praise Aunt Qin." ”

Zhao Qin'er asked again: "Oh! Then how did your father praise me?"

Xiao Zhao Yongting thought for a while and finally said, "I forgot." Zhao Qin'er laughed and touched Zhao Yongting's head, but took it off from her belt and carried a piece of jade pendant with her and said, "This is a meeting gift from my aunt, take it away!"

Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan next to him also took out the gadgets that had been prepared a long time ago and gave them to Zhao Yongting with a smile, but Hua Yunrong next to her wanted to excuse herself, but saw Zhao Qin'er wave her hand, stopped her, and said: "Sister-in-law, we and Brother Zhao Pu grew up together, so you don't have to be polite between us, you can know just by looking at the appearance of those people." Hua Yunrong turned her head to look in the direction Zhao Qin'er pointed, and saw that Zhao Pu and the others had stopped fighting, and several people gathered together shoulder to shoulder, not knowing what they were talking about.

I only heard Zhao Pu shouting: "Rong'er, come and introduce you." Hua Yunrong took Zhao Yongting's hand and walked over, and Zhao Qin'er and the three of them also followed, only to hear Zhao Pu introduced: "This is what I often talk to you about my fox friends and dog friends, and when I am not there in the future, I will look for them if I have something." Then he smiled and pointed at Yu Chi Zhongming and said, "This is the dead fat man Yu Chi." He pointed at Yue Qianming and said: "This is Lao Yue, this guy is the most bad, all our bad moves at that time were made by this kid." Then he looked at Qin Kongyu and said, "This is Old Qin, he used to be a very arrogant guy, but I don't know how he has become so skinless and faceless now." Then he introduced it with a big grin: "This is my daughter-in-law Hua Yunrong and my stinky boy Zhao Yongting." ”

Hua Yunrong took Zhao Yongting and saluted one by one and said: "I have seen Commander Wei Chi, Qianming Divine General, and Kongyu Divine General, and I often hear my husband mention a few. Then he said: "I have thanked everyone here, if it weren't for a few, my husband wouldn't have lasted so long in that small county government, and he wouldn't have brought such a big change to my hometown." ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Pu suspiciously, not knowing what Hua Yunrong meant by thanking him, although several people occasionally exchanged letters, they rarely talked about government affairs, and persuaded Zhao Pu to return to Beijing many times, how could it be the motivation for Zhao Pu to stay there. Zhao Pu waved his hand and said, "Don't mention the past." Okay, tell me where is the reception banquet for Pu Ye and me? Is it in Zhenyulou or in your house? I bragged to my daughter-in-law that you would invite me to Zhenyulou for three days. ”

Wei Chi Zhongming said: "Okay, then go to Zhenyu Tower." Today, I give my sister-in-law face, but not for you, you guy looks like everything he eats, which is simply the biggest insult to food. ”

Zhao Pu punched Yu Chi Zhongming's broad shoulder and said, "I know that you dead fat man has the 'foodie' card of Zhenyulou, let's go!"

Immediately, the group was divided into two groups and got into the car that Zhao Qin'er and others took when they went out of the city, and the car that Zhao Pu's family was riding was driven by the servant, and they were far behind. After Zhao Qin'er and his party left, only the officials of the Ministry of Rites waiting for the Jin and Xia missions were left at the Shiliting Post Station. After watching a group of people who were making trouble with the dignitaries of the DPRK and China leave, those ceremonial ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't know how they would feel if they were to see that the empty sky and the Qianming gods who had been intimidating the north and south for many years were like this.

Zhao Pu looked at the tall Feng'an City wall that was getting closer and closer, and he felt endless emotion in his heart, and then got out of the carriage and stood on the wheel, and a thousand words only turned into a loud shout: "Feng'an City! It attracted the sideways of pedestrians. And the women on the car behind were amused by Zhao Pu's behavior that disregarded etiquette and image, only Zhao Yongting's immature voice asked: "Mother, what's wrong with Daddy?" ”

Zhao Qin'er smiled and remembered the day she returned to Feng'an City after many years, and endless sorrow surged in her heart. This city is like its own mother, no matter how long you are gone, it will always stand here, waiting for the day when you return.

When Zhao Qin'er and the others left the Shili Pavilion Post Station for about two quarters of an hour, they saw a mighty team appear at the end of the official road from a distance, and when they approached, the eyes of the official of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but narrow. The team was flying two different envoy flags, and it was actually the envoys of Jin and Xia who arrived at the same time. Qian Mingshi thought to himself, "The rumors are really true, over the years, the national strength of my Zhao Xin clan has faintly surpassed the two countries of Jin and Xia, and it is rumored that the two countries of Jin and Xia have formed an alliance to jointly suppress my Zhao Xin country, and now it is true." ”

By the time the envoys from the two countries came to the Shili Pavilion Post Station, Qian Mingshi's complexion had returned to normal, calm as water. The people headed by the Jin and Xia envoys are two men, the main envoy of the Xia Geng clan is still Zang Lijue, but the deputy envoy is a middle-aged man. And the envoy of the Jinhai clan this time is a middle-aged man, looking at the officials of the Zhao Xin clan with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he has a grudge to kill his father, Qian Mingshi knows why this man looks at himself and others with such eyes, although the people of the Zhao Xin clan have no grudge against this man to kill their father, but they have a grudge against killing their brother.

This person is Kim Zhengxiong, the younger brother of Jin Chengxiong, who was cut off and sacrificed to the ancestors of the Zhao Xin clan in the southern battle eight years ago, although the main culprit is Qin Kongyu, but Kim Zhengxiong is a ruthless official of the Zhao Xin clan. However, Qian Mingshi looked at the fierce light of Kim Zhengxiong but did not dodge, he was still calm as water, and he glanced at the deputy envoy of the Jinhai clan, but he didn't know it. Then Qian Mingshi smiled and invited the envoys of the two countries to enter the station. After entering the post station, Qian Mingshi noticed that among the entourage of the two countries' missions, each brought five young people, male and female, all fifteen or sixteen years old, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of these two countries.

Zhao Qin'er and a few people came all the way to Zhenyu Building, Xiangming took Jiang Chen and Wei Chide to wait at the door, after a few people greeted and introduced, and when they were about to enter Zhenyulou, Xiangming stopped Zhao Qin'er, and Zhao Qin'er asked everyone to take Jiang Chen into first. I saw Xiangming whispering a few words in Zhao Qin'er's ear, Zhao Qin'er explained to her in secret again, and then Xiangming left in a hurry.

When Zhao Qin'er entered, everyone had been arranged into a box on the third floor, and the attendants of the Zhenyu Building took Zhao Qin'er to the box that Yu Chi Zhongming had already set, Yue Qianming asked Zhao Qin'er: "But is there anything urgent? Do you need help?" The rest of the people also looked at Zhao Qin'er, only to see Zhao Qin'er's face calm, shook his head, and said with a smile: "What can be important for Brother Pu to catch the wind, Wei Chi, hurry up and ask someone to serve the food!" Everyone saw Zhao Qin'er say this, and they didn't ask anything anymore. It was already a banquet, and after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became warmer. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone asked why Zhao Pu left the east back then?

Zhao Pu said solemnly: "Because of my father's words." Zhao Qin'er asked jokingly: "What did Uncle Wang say, which stimulated you, the biggest gentleman in Feng'an City, to go to that bitter cold place, and stay for more than 20 years?" Yue Qianming and the others also showed curious looks. Although the old prince of Dexian is known as a virtuous man, it is rumored that he was also like everyone when he was a teenager, walking through the streets and wandering unscrupulously until he was in his thirties, and for some reason he suddenly woke up and worked hard, and now he is the existence of Zhao Xin's national sea god.

I only heard Zhao Pu say: "A few years after Qin'er left, you all went to different places, and I was the only one left in the capital, after I returned to the palace drunk one day, my father, who had never cared much about me, stopped me and chatted with me for half the night, but I still remember what my father said, 'People have no ideals, like the walking dead, just a puddle of mud.'" Even the brothers and friends who played with you at the beginning will drift away from you until they become strangers. It was this sentence that made me wake up, and then I begged the emperor to give me a county government that is the most difficult to govern in the country, and I want to make some achievements. I saw Zhao Pu take a sip of wine before he said: "These words really stimulated me, I don't want to be many years later, when I have achieved nothing, be looked down upon by you or get together with you again, there is nothing to say between us, and we are going farther and farther." ”
