Chapter 3 Yangguan (Part II)
Chapter 1 Yangguan (Part I)
Captain Wang is righteous, and Captain Wang is very hard in the background. This was the unanimous conclusion reached after deliberation. As for the relationship between Captain Wang and the person behind him, how much weight can it bear, everyone doesn't think about it. For people who are drowning, even if it is a straw, they must be clung to in their hands as a life-saving basis. What's more, the situation is far from that bad.
Wang Xun, who was at the forefront of the team, didn't know that everyone regarded themselves as life-saving straws, and they didn't realize that a steel knife was hanging around their necks. The first time he left Chang'an, he didn't have much nostalgia in his heart, but felt fluttering, with an indescribable ease.
A few days before that, he had already made it clear to his immediate boss Chen Xuanli that he planned to leave Jingshi and go to Anxi Town to train. Although Chen Xuanli was a little reluctant at that time, he also said that "the fame is won immediately", and after consulting with General Colliers, he will try his best to fulfill his wish. Soon after, Gao Lishi personally went to the middle of the military camp and ordered Wang Xun to lead dozens of guards to escort a batch of important ordnance to Shule for delivery. and quietly hinted that if he wanted, he could temporarily stay under Feng Changqing and listen to the order, and there was no need to rush back to the Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.
Therefore, to a certain extent, half of this mission was obtained by Wang Xun on his own initiative, which is not a chore. As for the fact that the brothers in his companionship are all familiar faces, Wang Xun takes it for granted that his boss takes care of him, so he doesn't think about anything else in his heart except for his gratitude to his superiors.
In addition, the errand allowed him to escape a very big problem. That's the tangled chores. Aunt Yun and Ziluo have a deep prejudice against Bai Jingzhi, which Wang Xun knows very well in his heart. I thought that I could get through the trick by taking the method of cutting first and then playing. But I didn't expect to completely stab the hornet's nest all at once. When she went home in the afternoon, Aunt Yun pushed over all the account books and keys, declaring that she would "be at ease with women's ways" in the future and no longer interfere in any problems at home. And Ziluo did even more desperately, in the name of wanting to do filial piety for Wang Xun for Aunt Yun, she hid in the courtyard where the latter lived and refused to show her head. So that Wang Xun didn't even have a soft word to beg for mercy to help pass it on.
When you get used to it, where can Wang Xun take care of so many things all of a sudden? was busy in a hurry, Han Shigu, who had set up a blind date banquet last time, sent someone to send a letter again, saying that the woman's parents were very dissatisfied with Wang Xun's behavior of lingering in the Qinglou before marrying a wife. If he can't change his past, the Xu family would rather give up this family business than push his daughter into the fire pit. As the elder of both sides, Han Shigu persuaded Wang Xun to get lost and not to ruin his good future for a Qinglou woman.
"Where is this, who did I provoke me!" Sent away the family who delivered the letter, and Wang Xun ripped the teachings written by Han Shigu to pieces. I just went to Han Shigu's house for a banquet, and I didn't even remember which of the parents of the Xu family was present, and I actually became someone else's quasi-son-in-law. Before getting married, marrying a woman in a green house became morally corrupt? After becoming a parent, he pulled Silla girls home in carriages and carriages, is he a gentleman or a saint?
Before he could vent the anger in his stomach, several elders related to the Wang family also came to the door one after another. They all stood on Aunt Yun's side and accused him of not being right. And many of them have had no contact with Wang Xun's family since his father died. Suddenly, he made enough nonsense, which really made Wang Xun unable to adapt.
Fortunately, Bai Jingzhi is empathetic and never forces him to do everything well at once. And took the initiative to propose that instead of marrying and making the elders unhappy, it was better to live in the small courtyard of Mingke Lane for a few more days, leaving a buffer time for both parties. This aggrieved attitude made Wang Xun feel more and more guilty. I always feel that if I don't fulfill the promise I made that night, I will fail the other party, and I will not be at peace in my life.
"Nothing! Since my aunt doesn't like me like that, I won't get a good face when I enter your house. And I'm not very good at making old people happy, maybe one day I will put you in a dilemma. Rather than that, it would be better to see no one on either side, as it is now. Bai Jingzhi smiled and gently pinched Wang Xun's shoulder.
"She was just dizzy at me. It will get better soon! patting the back of Bai Jingzhi's hand, Wang Xun smiled and relieved the other party. Growing up, I basically didn't disobey her. This time the incident happened suddenly, and it is estimated that she will not be able to turn around for a while. It's going to get better, I promise! ”
"Don't worry, come a little bit!"
"Hmm. I know! ”
The two of them whispered meaninglessly, but it could also make Wang Xun forget a lot of troubles for the time being. It wasn't until I returned to my home in Chongrenfang that I realized once again what it was to be anxious.
A command from Colliers brought all the problems to an abrupt end.
"You're actually going to Anthy? You kid, how can you ....... like this" When Wang Xun carefully revealed the news of his upcoming business trip to Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun's tears immediately flowed. "Didn't you just not promise you to marry that Bai Xingshou who entered the door? You're going to run that far? My aunt promised you, and my aunt agreed. You go and tell General Chen Xuanli right away, and let him assign someone else!" ”
"This is a military order, my good aunt!" Wang Xun just couldn't see the woman's tears, stood aside, and explained helplessly. "The military order is like a mountain. If you can't say you won't do it, you won't do it. If I don't obey, my head will have to be hung on the flagpole tomorrow! ”
"Ahh Aunt Yun was so frightened that she stopped her tears, and looked pitifully at the child she had brought up. As an elder, who doesn't want their children to have smooth sailing in their careers? I was angry with the other party some time ago, and I was really thinking about the other party's future. thought that he could force Wang Xun to comply, but he never expected that he would be forced to come out with such a result in the end.
"Don't worry, now that the Tang Dynasty is leveling, who would dare to fight the idea of imperial court ordnance? When it came to Uncle Feng's land, no one dared to provoke me. From the captains and brigade rates of the generals who led the troops, I made a lot of friends last year! "I'm afraid that Aunt Yun won't be able to accept it for a while, Wang Xun didn't dare to say that he was going to stay in the Western Regions for a while. Anyway, Feng Chang told Aunt Yun early in the morning that he wanted to take himself to the Anxi army for training. At that time, he pushed the old guy and said that he would not let himself go. Presumably Aunt Yun is easier to understand.
Seeing the expectation inadvertently revealed on Wang Xun's face, Aunt Yun knew that it was useless for her to say anything at the moment. The child has grown up and has begun to choose his own path. There is no escaping this moment, even if you try hard to procrastinate, it is just a difference between one day earlier and one day later.
Thinking of this, she gently rubbed her reddened eyes and asked in a low voice, "You don't have anything else to hide from me, do you?" Except for agreeing to marry that woman and enter the door? Have you offended anyone recently? ”
"No, look at you, where did you think of it all of a sudden!" Wang Xun's head immediately shook into a wave drum. "Since Yuwen Kid got out, I am at home every day except for the military camp, how can I have the kung fu to cause trouble again?"
"That's right!" Aunt Yun nodded slightly, and her heart relaxed a lot. Their own children must be good children, and all the bad things are instigated by other people's little bastards. This is the only law in the hearts of parents. As soon as she thought about it, she immediately asked nervously, "Isn't the troublemaker of the Yuwen family also in Anxi?" Did he get into any trouble again? ”
"Nope! He is very appreciated by the fourth uncle, and he has recently been promoted to lieutenant. I'm on the same level! Wang Xun smiled, with a little envy in his words.
"The kind of fame that is exchanged for life, we would rather not!" Aunt Yun immediately straightened her face and warned worriedly. "When you get there, you don't have to mix with him! I will send a special letter to Feng Changqing and ask him to send you back as soon as possible! ”
"Okay, okay. It's up to you! "Wang Xun's head was three feet big when he boarded, and his words were perfunctory." I've got to get ready. The top is in a hurry. ”
Before he could escape to the door, Aunt Yun's summoning voice came from behind him. "Xun'er!" This is the first time that Aunt Yun has greeted him so solemnly, and they used to be Mingyun, little guys, you kid and the like. Involuntarily stopped, he turned his head to meet Aunt Yun's gaze, and from the latter's eyes, he saw a deep reluctance. "You can bring Bai Xingshou to his home tomorrow! When you weren't in Chang'an, she was guarding an empty yard alone, which was very difficult! ”
"Aunt ......" After a long time, Wang Xun couldn't believe that he heard Aunt Yun's words clearly. The sudden change made him at a loss, but the love and pity in the other party's eyes could not be questioned, just like when he was a child, he was naughty, and the other party would always hold him in his arms after counting him down, and he would be exactly the same when he was gentle and comforting.
"You kid!" With a little unwillingness, Aunt Yun added in a low voice, "It's just an acute child." You can't wait for months! Before getting married, marry a beautiful concubine who will marry your daughter to you? Forget it, you don't care, I'll figure out how to deal with this. When you come back from Anthy, you can keep it for you to get what you want! ”
"Auntie!" In an instant, Wang Xun felt a warm thing slowly rolling in his eyes. He didn't want to lose Aunt Yun's love because of Bai Jingzhi, not at all. What his biological mother looked like was long blurred in his memory. But everything that Aunt Yun has done for him since he was a child is vivid at this moment.
Aunt Yun stepped forward with a smile, stood on tiptoe, and gently touched Wang Xun's head. "Go ahead! First she took her home and stayed. I told the people that they weren't allowed to slow her down. When you return from Anthy, I'll make up a feast for you. How can there be a quiet marriage, which not only wrongs her, but also wrongs you! ”
"Hmm!" Wang Xun agreed in a low voice, and quietly lowered his body a little to make it more convenient for the other party to touch.
Aunt Yun's palm was no longer as soft as he remembered. But the warmth coming from the palm of his hand has always warmed him, from Chang'an to the Western Regions.
