Chapter 293: Old Mr. Bai (I)
On the second day, the genius was just dawning, and Jiang Yu hadn't woken up yet, but he had been dragged up from the bed by Yu Wenhong, and said while dragging it: "Get up, Ah Yu." ”
Jiang Yu hugged the quilt and refused to get up, and muttered half-asleep: "The emperor can do whatever he wants, I want to sleep for a while." ”
Yu Wenhong tore off the quilt on her body at once, threw her clothes on her, and said, "Hurry up, we're ready to go." ”
Jiang Yu was a little impatient by her, and by the way, he was a little angry to get up, sat up from the bed all of a sudden, shook his head in a tantrum and said, "What is the emperor doing, what time is it now!"
Just looking at the sky outside, it was really early, and the sky had just dawned. Except for morning classes when he was a child, Jiang Yu rarely got up at this time.
Yu Wenhong said: "I have said that I will take you to meet someone." ”
Jiang Yu's mind was confused, and he didn't listen to him carefully, his eyes closed, and he fell back on the bed.
Seeing her like this, Yu Wenhong simply sat on the bed and pressed down, his lips were about to lean against her lips, and said, "Maybe you want me to change the way you wake up." ”
Jiang Yu finally woke up, opened his eyes and pushed him away, sat up from the bed, and said a little angrily: "I know, I know, get up, let's get up." ”
After speaking, he jumped out of bed with a crooked mouth, and then hugged his clothes and walked behind the screen to change his clothes.
By the time Jiang Yu finished tidying up, the sky was already half bright. Zhu Hong and Wan Zongye had already prepared the carriage and others, and helped Jiang Yu and Yu Wenhong to let them get into the carriage.
When Zhu Hong helped Jiang Yu into the carriage, he pretended to look at Jiang Yu inadvertently, Jiang Yu didn't notice it, but Yu Wenhong saw it, but he didn't say anything.
This time, they are really light and simple, dressed as ordinary people, and there are not many people in the attendants, but there are dozens of people.
After Jiang Yu got into the carriage, he yawned and asked Yu Wenhong, "Where is the emperor taking me today?"
Yu Wenhong said: "You will naturally know when you go." ”
Jiang Yu asked again: "Cui Chongyi is not going with us?"
Yu Wenhong said: "It's just you and me." ”
Jiang Yu didn't say anything more, leaned back in the carriage and took a nap.
The carriage traveled all the way for two hours, and came out of Cangzhou City, but it was not a prosperous place, but went in the direction of the suburbs and villages.
The place they went to was a very remote village, and the whole village added up to only twenty or thirty households, but the scenery was pleasant, and there was quite a leisure and tranquility of a small bridge and flowing water.
In the middle of the village, there was another family whose house was better built than the others. In front of the house, two bright red lanterns are hung, and a plaque is hung under the beam, which reads "Thatched Cottage".
And their destination is this house.
When the carriage stopped, the door of the house was wide open, and out came an old man of seventy or eighty years old, with a gray beard and hair neatly combed, dressed in a plain robe, holding a cane in one hand and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old in the other.
When Jiang Yu got down from the carriage with Yu Wenhong, the old man knelt on the ground trembling again, and bowed with a very standard salute: "Lao Suo to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
Jiang Yuzheng was very strange, but he saw that Yu Wenhong had already walked up quickly, and helped the old man up with his own hands, with a bit of uncommon kindness and kindness on his face, and said, "...... Hurry up. ”
Jiang Yuzheng was curious about who could get Yu Wenhong's kind attitude, and even let Yu Wenhong bring her to see her in person, and then saw Zhu Hong quietly walk to her side, and reminded her in a low voice: "This is Mr. Bai!"
Jiang Yu's eyes suddenly moved, Mr. Bai, surnamed Bai?
Looking at the age of this old gentleman Bai, could it be Concubine Bai Xian's father, that is, Yu Wenhong's...... Maternal grandfather?
Jiang Yu couldn't help but look at this old white gentleman twice, and this time he really found that Yu Wenhong was really a little similar to him. Although this person is so old that he can barely see what he looked like when he was young, he can vaguely see that his nose and eyes are still similar to Yu Wenhong.
Jiang Yu was really surprised, one was surprised that Bai Xianfei's father was still alive, and the second was that even if he was still alive, the image was really too different from Jiang Yu's imagination, and the third surprise was that when Chao Tianzi's maternal grandfather actually lived in such a remote place where birds don't.
When Jiang Yu was still a little shocked, Yu Wenhong had already held Mr. Bai with one hand and shook his hand with the other, looking at him and saying softly: "...... When you are old, it is good to let the child come out to greet you, why bother to come out to greet you yourself. ”
Mr. Bai said very respectfully: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, the saint is here in person, how can Lao Suo not come out to see him in person." ”
Jiang Yu couldn't help but whisper to Zhu Hong: "I didn't expect Mr. Bai to live in this kind of place, did Concubine Bai Xian have a bad relationship with her father back then?"
Zhu Hong explained to her in a whisper: "Mr. Bai has a strange temperament, he doesn't like to be an official, but likes to live in seclusion outside this world. ”
Jiang Yu nodded when he listened, and understood a little.
Just as they were muttering quietly, Mr. Bai had already invited Yu Wenhong to the house.
Jiang Yu followed in, only to find that it was a place that looked like a school. Books were drying in the courtyard, and the door of the west wing was not closed, and you could see more than a dozen desks inside, but all of them were empty at this time.
Yu Wenhong was also looking at the house, and Mr. Bai explained to Yu Wenhong with a smile: "Lao Suo has nothing to do on weekdays, so he teaches the children in the village to recognize a few words." Because he had received the will of the Holy Two Days before, and the Holy One would come in person today, he let the children rest for two days and go back to their homes. ”
Yu Wenhong listened with a smile, nodded from time to time, and asked again: "...... How well are the children learning?"
Mr. Bai smiled and said: "Okay, good, they are all smart children, they can be taught as soon as they are taught, and they are much smarter than Lao Suo back then." He also said: "They are all children who can't study because of their poor families, and they are willing to come to learn, and Lao Suo doesn't accept them, and teaches them two words in their spare time." If one or two of them are talented in the future, and can be loyal to the Holy Lord after learning, loyal to the court, for the people, for the world, and for the well-being of the common people, Lao Suo will not waste this bit of ink in his stomach. ”
Yu Wenhong said: "Although the old gentleman is far away from the temple, he can think about the common people of the society, which is much better than some officials who lead the court but are not loyal to the court." ”
Jiang Yu couldn't help but have a spasm on his face when he heard this, and said in his heart Why did she sound so sour when the two relatives spoke, as if she was a monarch and a minister.
