18. My father-in-law became an official
The martial arts hall recruited more and more students, and Fang Bin soon officially began to teach.
Ah Yao always remembered the help Mo Yan and his wife helped them, and personally cooked a few side dishes this night, and asked Fang Bin to buy wine, prepare a meal, and invite the couple to come over for dinner together.
Mo Yan's father-in-law Cui Xi is a good person to get along with, kind and generous, and he can also talk with Fang Bin, and the two talked happily from the dinner table to the meal.
Of course, Cui Xi was chattering a lot of the time, but Fang Bin listened patiently.
Mo Yan and Ah Yao washed in the stove room, chatting and chatting about Ah Yao's mother's house.
"When my mother came to my house to see me yesterday, she talked about your father, and he was an official in Beijing, do you know?"
"What did you say?" Ah Yao's hand washing the dishes paused, with a look of surprise, "My father is an official, really?" ”
Mo Yan said with a smile: "Of course it's true, your father asked people to bring the letter back, Aunt Yao couldn't be happy after reading the letter, she had to show off everyone when she saw it, and now even the county magistrate was alarmed, and ran to visit your house, it seems that your father's official son is not young." It is said to be a Beijing official. ”
Ah Yao breathed a sigh of relief, she was still worried that her father's scientific expedition would be the same as in the past a few days ago, and she didn't want to really keep the clouds open and see the moon, so her heart was also put down.
"By the way, how many people is my dad? Champion, Bangyan or Tanhua? Ah Yao thought that if she could be a Beijing official, her ranking would not be low, so she looked forward to it.
Mo Yan shook his head: "I don't know much about this, but what do you call him, being able to be an official in the capital is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." You said that Uncle Yao is also a lot older, and everyone thinks that he is out of play, but who knows that it is not easy to come to the bitter end. ”
"yes, I'm so happy for my dad." A-Yao smiled as if she had honey on her face.
Mo Yan glanced at her: "You are beautiful, when Uncle Yao comes back to Beijing after a while, he will bring all of you to live in Beijing, then you will have to enjoy it." ”
Mo Yan said with a look of longing on his face: "I haven't been out of Qingyuan County to see the outside world when I'm so old, if I can go to the capital for a while, then this life will not be in vain." ”
A-Yao couldn't help but smile, Mo Yan thought so about her, but she didn't think so: "What's so fun in Beijing, I don't want to go, anyway, I'm already a married daughter, and I just want to live a plain life in this county town with my husband." ”
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and teased: "Yo, this is everything satisfied with Xianggong?" Shangjing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the most prosperous imperial capital of the entire Chengyu Dynasty, not to mention that you still have an official father covered by you there, so it's a shame not to go. ”
Ah Yao shook her head: "You don't think so about my aunt, she wishes I would stay here forever." What's more, she always felt that Fang Bin must not like places like Shangjing, otherwise he would not have abandoned his prosperous and wealthy life to come to this small county town. Of course, she can't say these words to Mo Yan, Xianggong used to be a killer, and such an identity is not easy for others to know.
"Speaking of Aunt Yao, your father has always loved you, and now he is coming back, if he knows that your aunt took advantage of his absence to marry you casually, the two of them may not know how to make a fuss, and then your family will be lively.".
Until Mo Yan and Cui Xi left, A-Yao kept thinking about Mo Yan's words.
Indeed, if you wait for your father to come back and see that you have married someone without his knowledge, you will definitely lose your temper.
However, what is the use of making trouble? What's more, she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with marrying Fang Bin now, but feels that this is the greatest luck in her life, thanks to her aunt.
"What do you think, so engrossed?" Fang Bin stepped forward and wrapped around her slender waist from behind, and the warm breath sprayed on her ears, making her can't help but tremble a few times.
Ah Yao twisted her body a little uncomfortably, and shook her head with a smile: "It's nothing." ”
"It's getting late, let's rest early."
"Hmm.".
After a freshen up, the two rested.
The faint candlelight danced happily at the bedside, and the whole room was flickering and flickering.
Fang Bin hugged the delicate wife in his arms, grasped her white little hand generously, and frowned: "When I go buy some ointment tomorrow and come back, your hands will be rough." ”
Ah Yao withdrew her hand indiscriminately: "No, my hand is like this when I am at home, and we don't care about this." What to do with that spare money, it's better to keep it. ”
"Don't let you work, you are in a hurry with me, you do what you want, but it is like this, I want you to be happy, but I still make you suffer, you teach me how to endure like this?"
Ah Yao stretched out her arms around his waist and smiled lightly: "No, I'm very happy now." ”
Ah Yao's words are absolutely sincere, since marrying him these days, she has felt unprecedented care and warmth, this feeling makes her happy and touches her.
"By the way, I heard Mo Yan say today that my father is an official, didn't you hear him talk about teaching Brother Jing to practice on weekdays?"
Fang Bin's originally gentle eyes sank a little, and his face was complicated: "Hmm." ”
Ah Yao was a little suspicious, she didn't understand what Fang Bin meant, did it mean that he knew about it or that Brother Jing hadn't talked to him.
Just as A-Yao was thinking wildly, she heard Fang Bin say: "My father-in-law was recommended by the Hidden King. ”
"What?" Ah Yao raised her head suddenly, "Didn't Daddy participate in the imperial examination?" ”
Fang Bin didn't speak, he was actually a little surprised by this matter.
In the previous life, Yao Zhengdong was indeed the leader of today's saints, and he was later co-opted by King Yin to do things for him. This Yao Zhengdong got Tanhua at such an age, but he is a very utilitarian person, in order to use the shoulders of His Royal Highness the Hidden King to rise to the top, he blindly flattered and tended to be inflammatory.
King Yin and King Zhao were already fighting for the position of the crown prince, and Yao Zhengdong even sacrificed his own daughter to be an informant in order to be reused by King Yin, but A-Yao who was harmed died.
Later, King Yin was defeated in the war for succession, and the Yao family did not end well.
But in this life, he didn't want Yao Zhengdong to repeat the tragedy of the previous life and make Ayao sad and sad in the future, so he had the heart to change his life for him, and deliberately prevented him from participating in the imperial examination. I don't want to, but I still can't change his fate of becoming a staff member of His Royal Highness the Hidden King.
The people in the capital have not yet passed the news, and he still doesn't know how this Yao Zhengdong met the Hidden King, and he can still let the Hidden King recommend him to the Holy Lord for him, it seems that he is not a simple person.
It's just that if the tragedy of the previous life happens again, he can protect A-Yao, but he can't protect everyone in the Yao family, and I don't know how sad and desperate A-Yao will be at that time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at the woman buried in his arms, she had fallen asleep at some point, with a sweet smile on her face, looking like she had some kind of sweet dream.
Fang Bin sighed a little helplessly, listening to A-Yao's tone just now, she was very happy to learn that Yao Zhengdong was an official, but she didn't know that this officialdom would push a person to the top, and it would also push him to the infernal hell.
The next day, when A-Yao woke up, it was not yet dawn, and she was awakened by the scene in her dream. Turning her head, there was no trace of Fang Bin beside her, and A-Yao was inexplicably flustered.
When I got dressed and walked out, the moon outside was still bright, and I could see a human figure on the ground.
saw that Fang Bin was sitting in the yard chopping wood, and when he saw Ah Yao coming out of the house, the movements of his hands stopped and said, "Why did you get up so early and don't sleep for a while." ”
Ah Yao stepped forward and sat down on the wooden pier next to him, and shook her head a little panicked: "I can't sleep." ”
Fang Bin was worried for a while: "Why didn't you sleep well and had nightmares?" ”
Ah Yao's face turned a little paler, and she hugged one of Fang Bin's arms with both hands and pillowed her head, and whispered, "It's a terrible nightmare." ”
Fang Bin put down the axe in his hand, took her into his arms, patted her back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream, dreams are the opposite of reality, don't be afraid." ”
"I dreamed that you and Daddy each brought a group of people to fight, and you two were covered in blood, and I was so frightened that I shouted at you to stop, but none of you listened to me, and finally you all fell." Ah Yao said with some trembling, the tears in her eyes slipped down drop by drop, and she closed her eyes in fear
When she remembered the dream she had just had, she was terrified, the two men she cared about the most would kill each other, such a dream was too terrifying.
Fang Bin's originally calm eyes flashed a trace of gloom, his pursed lips moved, and he looked at the wife in his arms and felt a pain in his heart: "A-Yao, that's just a dream, it's not true, don't be afraid." "Indeed, in the previous life, Yao Zhengdong died at his hands.
Ah Yao suddenly looked up at him, and her eyes full of tears were full of expectation: "You promise me, you must not let such a thing happen, okay, you are all my relatives, you are all my favorite people, don't fight, okay?" I'm so scared, I don't want to lose any of you. ”
Fang Bin hugged A-Yao, who was trembling in distress, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see the bottom, and his words were a little hoarse: "Don't worry, this kind of thing will definitely not happen, he is my father-in-law, how could I hurt him." Trust me, it's just a nightmare. ”
Ah Yao buried her head in his chest and nodded vigorously, and it took a while before she gradually calmed down.
Fang Bin gently comforted the lady in his arms, and her already complicated eyes were more like a light veil in the moonlight, which was unpredictable.
At night, it's as cool as water.
After a long time, Fang Bin looked at A-Yao, who was already lying in his arms and falling asleep, and his eyes became gentle little by little.
He carefully picked up his wife in his arms and walked towards the house step by step.
