53. Tanuki for the prince (5)
Yu Xiaoyu only found out that Zhanzhao had returned the next morning.
"Hey, Lord Zhan, are you back?" Yu Xiaoyu looked at Zhanzhao and blinked: "When did you come back?" How did I not know? ”
"I arrived last night," Zhanzhao replied with a smile, "It was too late, so I didn't bother you." You are in the presence of the old lady, and you must take good care of her. ”
Yu Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue mischievously: "By the way, how is the situation in Kaifeng?" Did the old crab make any moves? ”
"Old crab?" Zhanzhao pondered carefully for a while, and then understood what Yu Xiaoyu meant, and knocked Yu Xiaoyu's head funny as a warning, before he told the situation in Beijing again, and told Yu Xiaoyu that Wang Erya, Xiao Ke, Cui Yimei and several others were all enthusiastically looking forward to her going back.
"How's the restaurant?"
"I'm in a hurry to go back this time," Zhanzhao touched his nose in embarrassment: "So ......"
"Okay," Yu Xiaoyu waved his hand: "I know, I guess it's fine, I'll just ask in passing." ”
"Little Fish ......"
"This is Zhan Guarding Zhan Ye, right?" Fan Zonghua came over with a smile: "I didn't really dare to take a closer look before, but now I see that it is really a talent!" I've heard them say it before......"
"Are you Fan Zonghua?" Zhan Zhao looked at Fan Zonghua puzzled: "You also came along?" ”
"Well," Fan Zonghua nodded: "Master Bao asked me to follow him and accompany the old lady to Kaifeng." Oh, the old lady is the old mother of Master Bao......"
Fan Zonghua said a lot, Zhanzhao looked at the back of Yu Xiaoyu leaving, and nodded: "It turned out that Master Bao asked you to go to Beijing with you." ”
"It's not," Fan Zonghua smiled very happily: "Lord Zhan, the villain never thought that he could talk to big people like Lord Bao and Lord Zhan, in our county, even the county master thinks that our status as a place is low, and he doesn't like to talk to us; The next time, when I see them again, the villain will say to them directly: What is it like you, Lord Bao and Master Zhan of Kaifeng Mansion are willing to talk to me well......"
Zhan Zhao stood there and listened to Fan Zonghua's nagging, and then said to Fan Zonghua with a smile: "Fan Zonghua, I just remembered that I still have something to find Master Bao, so I will leave first." Get busy yourself! ”
Looking at the back of Zhan Zhao leaving in a hurry, Fan Zonghua scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "The people in Kaifeng Mansion are really busy, and they don't even have time to chat for a while all day long......"
Zhan Zhao came back and brought the information that Lord Bao wanted, Lord Bao's heart was relieved, and everyone else was relieved; Yu Xiaoyu played the role of Yahuan wholeheartedly, but she was always secretly thinking about whether to ask Master Bao for some wages.
Kaifeng was close at hand in Fan Zonghua's constant nagging and Yu Xiaoyu's secret calculations.
"Mother," Master Bao walked to the soft sedan chair, bowed down and said respectfully, "I'm about to enter Kaifeng." The son has official business, and he must go to the palace to face the saint before he can return home. Therefore, I had to let my mother go home alone. Mother, please rest assured, Mrs. Zhan will follow her mother and accompany her back home. ”
Maybe it was because of the timidity of the hometown, after hearing that she could enter Kaifeng City immediately, the old lady's tears flowed down again, and her voice was slightly choked: "It is important for my son to do the right thing first, and the fish girl will accompany the mourning...... It's good to be old. ”
"Mrs. Zhan," Master Bao turned his head to Yu Xiaoyu and said, "Excuse me, send the old man back to Kaifeng Mansion first; My wife is ready for the affairs of the house! ”
"Okay," Yu Xiaoyu nodded: "Lord Bao, please rest assured, I will definitely send the old lady to Mrs. Bao in the mansion safely." ”
After a brief farewell, Mr. Bao and his entourage went directly to the post house. Lord Bao needs to wait for the emperor's summons in the post house first, and return to the emperor to check the details of the relief in Chenzhou; The rest of the Kaifeng Mansion, although they did not have the opportunity to go to the saint, they had to wait for the emperor's permission before they could go home; Yu Xiaoyu followed Fan Zonghua, Bao Xing and a few others who had no official position to escort the old lady back to Kaifeng Mansion first.
However, no one thought that as soon as Yu Xiaoyu and the others entered Kaifeng City, they were targeted by Master Pang, who had never given up on making trouble in Kaifeng Mansion.
"Fish girl," sensing that the soft sedan had stopped, the old lady couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?" Has it already arrived? ”
Looking at the sedan chair blocked on the opposite side, Yu Xiaoyu frowned, complaining about the trouble in his heart, but replied: "Old lady, Kaifeng Mansion has not yet arrived; It's just that someone has fallen down in front of me, and it looks like it's enough to choke. I'm sorry to wait a minute! ”
"What," the person who had already come down from the sedan chair on the opposite side looked at Yu Xiaoyu and his party with a pure face: "This official just wants to ask Master Bao for something, what are you minions doing to stop this official?" ”
"Who is he?"
"Hmph," Bao Xing looked disdainful: "It's just a dog under the command of Master Pang." ”
"But don't say that," Yu Xiaoyu approached Bao Xing and said in a voice that no one else could hear: "This dog bites people, and sometimes it can be fatal!" ”
"Hehe," Bao Xing covered his mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Zhan is telling the truth." ”
Seeing the playful smile on Bao Xing's face, the visitor pushed away Fan Zonghua who was blocking in front of him, pushed Bao Xing away, and went straight to the soft sedan chair.
Just when the person who came was about to lift the sedan curtain, Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly rushed forward and blocked directly in front of the sedan curtain: "This adult, inside is Lord Bao's family, it doesn't seem like a good thing for you to do this, right?" ”
Fan Zonghua stood up, patted his buttocks, and also blocked in front of the sedan chair: "This big man, how can you do this?" If you have something to look for Master Bao, it is better to wait for Lord Bao to come back, and just look for him directly; What kind of man are you who embarrass a woman like this? ”
"This official doesn't care about you and the others, get out of the way!" The man frowned and pushed Fan Zonghua away again, and then pushed away Bao Xing who was blocking in front of him: "This official just has something to ask Master Bao, and after consulting this official, he will leave." ”
"Fish girl," the old lady in the sedan chair spoke, "who is outside?" ”
"Back to the old lady's words," Yu Xiaoyu said matter-of-factly: "It seems that it should be a colleague of Lord Bao; The old lady doesn't have to worry, things will be fine in a while. ”
"Well," said the old lady indifferently, "then it will be solved quickly." The old man is still in a hurry to see my daughter-in-law? ”
"My lord, you can hear clearly," Yu Xiaoyu looked at the surprised rude person in front of him: "The one sitting here is Lord Bao's mother, not Lord Bao." The old lady has just come to Kaifeng, but you still want to stand in the way here? ”
"Oh, it's Lord Bao's mother?" The expression of the person who came remained unchanged, and his hand continued to stretch out to the sedan curtain: "Since you are an elder, the official has to pay a visit." ”
Fan Zonghua stood up again and directly pushed the man: "Can you people in the capital be so unreasonable?" The old lady said that she was in a hurry to see her daughter-in-law, but she didn't plan to see you, why didn't you understand? ”
At this time, the little guy next to the person also rushed over, directly detained Fan Zonghua and Bao Xing, and scolded in his mouth: "Do you know who our master is?" How dare you stop it? Don't you want to die? ”
Yu Xiaoyu stood directly in front of the sedan curtain and looked at the person in front of him coldly: "The adults don't care about the wishes of the old lady and are not afraid of the eyes of the world, aren't they afraid that the adults of the imperial history will know?" ”
"What's going on? What happened? ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Xiaoyu turned his head to look at the person who came, and finally showed a pitiful smile: "Eighth Prince, you can be regarded as here." If you don't come again, the little woman will be beaten to death on the street, and there will be nowhere to cry out for injustice! ”
"See the Eighth Prince!" When the man saw the eighth prince, he glanced at the sedan chair regretfully, and respectfully asked the eighth prince for peace.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Zhan." The eighth prince nodded at Yu Xiaoyu, turned his head and sneered at the person kneeling on the ground: "Bullying a weak woman on the street, Lord Jia, you are so powerful!" ”
Yu Xiaoyu nodded violently beside him, and silently praised the eighth prince in his heart; And the adult surnamed Jia was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and he really didn't understand why this famous Eight Sages King suddenly came out: "Back to the Eighth Prince, this ...... Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan ......"
Lord Jia, who was looking at him with a blank look, accidentally saw the soft sedan chair blocked by Yu Xiaoyu: "Xia Guan heard that Lord Bao's mother came to Kaifeng, so I came to see him." ”
"Hmph," Yu Xiaoyu said coldly in line with the principle that he had already offended anyway, so he might as well offend completely: "I really haven't heard of anyone who wants to meet someone else's mother on the street!" ”
"Oh," the eighth prince looked at the soft sedan chair curiously: "It turns out that Lord Bao's mother came to Kaifeng?" ”
"Back to the Eighth Prince," Yu Xiaoyu nodded: "Exactly." ”
"Mrs. Zhan," the eighth prince said to Xiao Yu with a smile, "You should escort Mrs. Bao back first; When Lord Bao returns to his house in the future, the king will go to visit the old man again. ”
"Okay," Yu Xiaoyu bowed slightly: "Thank you for today's matter, thank you to the eighth prince." ”
Seeing Yu Xiaoyu, Bao Xing, and a man he had never seen leave with a soft sedan chair, the eighth prince turned his gaze back, didn't even look at Lord Najia, and left directly.
"Mrs. Zhan," Fan Zonghua leaned next to Yu Xiaoyu and muttered in a low voice: "This person from your capital is really unreasonable, and it is not as good as ...... in our small place."
"The man was an anomaly." Yu Xiaoyu replied in a low voice: "He just came to find a ballast with a pure face, so he doesn't need to pay attention to it." ”
"Fish girl," the old lady in the sedan chair finally spoke: "The person who came later is the eighth prince of the dynasty?" ”
"Yes, old lady." Although the old lady's love should have calmed down, Yu Xiaoyu still heard that the old lady had just cried, and her heart couldn't help but soften: "Old lady, when Lord Bao comes back, the eighth prince should come to Kaifeng Mansion to see you, don't worry." ”
Even Yu Xiaoyu could hear that the old lady had just cried, let alone Fan Zonghua, who had been with her for more than ten years!
Fan Zonghua approached the soft sedan chair and whispered, "Old lady, why are you crying?" Did you just be wronged, I'm going to beat that person and give you anger, okay? ”
"I'm fine," the old lady hurriedly persuaded Fan Zonghua: "This is the capital, there are many dignitaries and nobles, not a small place like Caozhou Bridge, you don't have to fight all day long." ”
"Hey, listen to the old lady."
"Mrs. Zhan," Bao Xing said, "You wait with the old lady first, and I'll go and open the door first." ”
"Okay," Yu Xiaoyu nodded, turned his head and said, "Old lady, now that you have arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, you wait a minute, Bao Xing will go to call the door, and we will be able to enter in a while." ”
"Hmm!"
Fan Zonghua looked at the solemn and atmospheric Kaifeng Mansion, and whispered to Yu Xiaoyu: "Mrs. Zhan, is the original Kaifeng Mansion famous all over the world?" ”
"Yes!" Yu Xiaoyu nodded: "This is Kaifeng Mansion, and Lord Bao's family lives here." ”
At this time, Bao Xing had already returned: the main gate of Kaifeng Mansion was opened, and Yu Xiaoyu and his party welcomed in.
And Fan Zonghua was arranged by Bao Xing in the outside guest room; Yu Xiaoyu stayed next to the old lady's sedan chair and went directly into the backyard.
In the backyard, Mrs. Bao was already waiting with everyone. Yu Xiaoyu winked at Mrs. Bao, who had already begun to show her nostalgia a little, and Mrs. Bao directly led everyone to kneel on the ground, shouting loudly: "Unfilial daughter-in-law Bao Li welcomes her mother, and I hope that my mother will forgive her daughter-in-law for the crime of unfilial piety." ”
The old lady stretched out her hand from the sedan chair, and Yu Xiaoyu and Mrs. Bao hurriedly grabbed the old lady's hand left and right and helped her out.
