Chapter 190: Ancestors and Grandchildren Meet
Because there are Chang Yi brothers outside to guide the eyes of people with hearts, Chang Tianlei and they entered the capital smoothly, at least on the way forward, they did not attract the attention of others.
And Chang Yi and the others also pretended to go around the capital and went back, and the people who peeked at them secretly not only found nothing, but also ran a lot of unjust roads. Everyone secretly scolded them in their hearts for being a bunch of foxes.
"Grandpa, my grandson is not filial, so you are worried." Chang Tianlei, who returned to the general's mansion smoothly, didn't even change his clothes, he knelt in front of General Chang, looking at his relatives who had not seen him for a long time, Chang Tianlei's voice choked.
"Good boy, get up. But I'm sorry for you. "General Chang has undergone great changes, and for his only grandson, he is even more distressed, not to mention, the appearance of Chang Tianlei kneeling in front of him is really pitiful. The coarse cloth is short and the clothes are covered with dust, which is very different from the greenhouse boy before the accident.
So when General Chang saw Chang Tianlei, he was excited and teary-eyed, and hurriedly helped him up, "Lei'er, go to your grandmother first, and your father and mother go to Shangzhuxiang and tell them that you have come back safely." ”
"Yes, grandson, I'll go." Chang Tianlei under the guidance of the next person, came to the Buddhist hall dedicated to the three tablets, and when he got to the three cold signs, the tears of sadness could not be stopped, and he shouted sadly, "Grandmother, father, mother, unfilial children and grandchildren Chang Tianlei is back." He knelt in front of the tablet with a plop and knocked his head deeply three times. The grandson will never let grandpa worry about it anymore and let you down. Chang Tianlei swore in the face of the tablets of the three people. The grandson will surely inherit the mantle of grandpa. Kill enemies on the battlefield and protect grandpa. ”
General Chang listened to Chang Tianlei's adult voice and words outside the door, and he was very excited and relieved. Then he quietly walked away, no longer disturbing Chang Tianlei who was kneeling in the Buddha hall.
"See General." General Chang, who returned to the front hall, sat on a chair, and Chang Shi's mother stepped forward to pay a visit.
"For Lei'er, it's really hard for you." Although General Chang didn't know the details of Lu Dao, he could know how much thought they had spent to protect Chang Tianlei before the three of them returned to the capital in a different way.
The general was serious. We'll do things for the generals. Deserved. Although General Chang was sincere Xie Lu Xie Chang Shi and Chang Shi's mother, Chang Shi and the two of them refused to accept it, and only said that they had fulfilled their obligations.
"Alas, you don't say that the old man knows the way. It's not just us who escorted him back. It's been these two years. Tianlei is also indispensable for your care. ”
"General, we didn't do anything." Chang Shi knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for Lin Zhu taking them in regardless of his past suspicions, maybe their lives would not be so easy. It will not be so smooth to return to the capital. "Thanks to Miss Lin Zhu, she took us in."
"It's to thank this Lin girl," General Chang nodded, "Didn't you say that she also entered Beijing?" Why didn't I come with you to the house? ”
"General, girl, she doesn't want to be too conspicuous." Chang's mother on the side also replied in a low voice.
"That's weird." Although General Chang understood that if Lin Zhu was the one who saved Chang Tianlei, then not only the General's Mansion but also the emperor and Concubine Lan would greatly reward her. And she is tantamount to making Concubine Lan of the General's Mansion owe her a great favor. If she makes good use of it, she won't have to worry about anything in her life.
"Where are these Lin girls now? When I have time one day, the old man will pay a visit in person. "General Chang was very curious about Lin Zhu.
Chang Shi and Chang's mother glanced at each other, and felt that General Chang should not be allowed to see Lin Zhu, but they couldn't think of a good excuse to refuse for a while.
"Grandpa, didn't you make her more noticeable?" Chang Tianlei, who had been freshened up, said from the door.
"Lei'er, come here." General Chang beckoned to him, "Tell grandpa about this Lin Zhu girl, how can I personally thank her." General Chang saw that Chang Tianlei was also very protective of this forest bamboo, and his heart became even more curious.
Chang Shi and Chang's mother left the front hall with each other, and asked their grandparents and grandchildren to talk well.
Chang Tianlei carefully described to General Chang how he met Lin Zhu, from Chang's mother to his return to the capital, Lin Zhu's affairs were all told to him.
"According to what you say, this little girl Lin Zhu is a very far-sighted person, is she really only a little over ten years old?" After listening to Chang Tianlei's description, General Chang expressed doubts about Lin Zhu's age, and he thought that he was an elderly woman who had seen through the world.
"Grandpa, have you ever heard about the special white rice these days?" Chang Tianlei decided to give an example to illustrate better.
"Well, I know this, and I also heard that the capital is very lively because of this special white rice." Since General Chang returned, he was summoned by the emperor to meet him, and he was also given food, and he was fortunate to taste the taste of special white rice. When I think about it now, I feel like my mouth is going to water.
"I used to be in Linjia Village, and the rice I ate every day was made of special white rice." Chang Tianlei smiled and said something that made General Chang dumbfounded.
"How is that possible?" General Chang's eyes widened at that time.
"Grandpa, I also brought back a few jars of rice wine, you can taste it in a while, and you will know that what I said is true." At this time, Chang Tianlei suddenly thought that he still had five jars of wine in Chang Shi. "Grandpa, where did Uncle Ten go just now?" Chang Tianlei still maintains the title of Chang Shi when he was in Linjia Village.
"Didn't he just go out of the woods? It should have been to find Chang Yi and them, I haven't seen them for so long, so I must have to reminisce about the past. "General Chang doesn't know why, why was he still talking about wine just now, but in the blink of an eye, he ran to Chang Shi?
"If it's bad, the wine will definitely be divided by them." Chang Shi sat on the chair very dejected, five jars of wine, one jar for one person.
"What kind of good wine makes you feel distressed like this, they drink it, and in a few days grandpa will get you some tribute wine." For this grandson who has lost face, General Chang now wants to compensate him well, and secondly, he feels that he was too strict with him before, so that Chang Tianlei is not very close to him, and now the relationship between the two is much better than before, and General Chang does not want to destroy this relationship.
"Grandpa, these rice wines are all made by Old Man Du Hengdu with special white rice, I finally asked for ten jars from Lin Zhu's small buttoned door, and now half of them are drunk by Uncle Shi." Chang Tianlei said regretfully.
"Oh, it's actually brewed by Du Heng's old boy?" General Chang raised his eyebrows, "Let's go." He stood up and waved at Chang Tianlei.
"Grandpa, where do you want to go?" Chang Tianlei didn't keep up with General Chang's thinking.
"Hehe, it's rare that you have this filial piety, let's go get drunk and rest." General Chang smiled and took the lead and walked out.
Chang Tianlei was petrified there, but he didn't expect to lift a stone and hit his own foot, how could he forget his grandfather's love for wine, not only forgot, but also exposed his collection. Especially when I told the brewing master, didn't I just hit the muzzle of my grandfather's gun?
It would be useless to regret it, at this time General Chang was waiting for him not far away, and he was already a little impatient. Looks like he's hooked up with his wine bugs.
General Chang wants to drink, and now he wants to drink very much, one is to be happy that his grandson has finally returned safe and sound, and the other is to pay tribute, if there is really a spirit in the sky, then the three people who have passed away should be able to see in heaven that their wishes have been fulfilled.
On the table in the dining room, General Chang had already ordered someone to make a side dish with wine, fried peanuts.
"Come on, Tianlei, this is the best appetizer, you bring all the wine first, grandpa is waiting for you." Although as a junior, Chang Tianlei really wants to say to his grandfather, you really look like a fox now, and you still take it all out? Do you really want to keep it for yourself at all?
Although he thought so in his heart, Chang Tianlei quickly took the wine back. They are the aftermath of the catastrophe, and it is understandable to celebrate each other, how can the bitterness in their hearts be released without wine? How can I get my grandfather out of self-blame without alcohol?
As soon as Chang Tianlei came back, he found that although General Chang did not show it outside, he had been haunting his self-blame, he thought that all this was his own fault, if he could be more careful, maybe he would not let people take advantage of the loopholes, and make a good home look like this, his wife, son and daughter-in-law may not die, and his grandson will not suffer from being left behind.
"It's coming," Chang Tianlei came back with two jars of wine, put the wine on the table, General Chang couldn't wait to open one of the jars, and a smell of wine came to his nose.
"Good wine." General Chang couldn't help but shout softly, although it was a simple rice wine, but the taste was really amazing. General Chang poured himself a glass of wine, and then first took a sip and tasted it, and then drank it all.
It was only at this time that General Chang believed that what Chang Tianlei said was all the truth.
He put down his glass, "No wonder such a young child has already learned how to protect himself?" General Chang rubbed his wine glass, "With such a strange thing, how can she be a little woman who can keep it?" ”
"Grandpa, now all the special varieties of Lin Zhu have been sold to the Muyue Commercial Bank, and the seeds of a hundred acres of land have been collected for 100,000 taels of silver." Although Chang Tianlei didn't know the details of the Muyue Commercial Bank, he could guess that the person behind the Muyue Commercial Bank must be very powerful after observing Lu Mingtao.
"Hehehehe, what a good calculation!" Listening to Chang Tianlei's words, General Chang suddenly laughed, and only said this, and he didn't know whether Lu Dao was talking about Lin Zhu or Muyue Commercial Bank. "Interesting, interesting." I don't know who it refers to, which makes Chang Tianlei confused.
