Chapter 124: Sacrifice Yourself
Riding a horse and eating local food, Chu Taiyuan stopped all the way, and soon came to the mansion of the Guangling Wang.
There were two carriages parked in front of the mansion, and several servants were carrying some fruit plates and small snacks to the carts, which looked like they were going to go far away.
Chu Taiyuan didn't take this too seriously, and was about to get off the horse to deliver the post, when several young talents walked out of the palace at this time.
Most of those people are in their twenties, all of them are extraordinary, talking and laughing with each other, and they look happy.
Chu Taiyuan recognized the young man at the head at a glance, and grinned: "Brother Zibo, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same!" ”
"You are!?" A scribe in a white robe glanced at Chu Taiyuan, who was slightly sloppy, and was a little unrecognizable for a while.
Chu Taiyuan slowly took a few steps forward and smiled: "Brother Zibo is now full of friends, have you forgotten that you and I used to be on Taoyuan Mountain, cooking wine and arguing about the past and the present?" ”
"Taiyuan? It's really you! Wang Zibo's eyes lit up, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Okay, you Chu Taiyuan, Taoyuan Mountain has been separated for more than two years, and now you have come to Guangling to see me, and you dare to ridicule me, you are really hateful, hateful!" ”
"Hahahaha, Brother Zibo is still the same Brother Zibo." Chu Taiyuan dismounted and said with a smile, both of them had a long-lost reunion expression, and solemnly bowed to each other.
Wang Zibo was really happy to see Chu Taiyuan, and after saluting each other, he immediately grabbed Chu Taiyuan with his hand: "Come on, come on, Taiyuan will come to the house with me, today you and my brothers should have a good time drinking and talking, and have a good heart." ”
"Brother Zibo has an order, Taiyuan should sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman!" Chu Taiyuan was also in a very good mood, and as soon as the two met, they completely ignored the other young people.
Just as he was about to enter the door, a young man relieved himself and said, "Brother Zibo, tomorrow is the policy commentary, don't you plan to go with me?" ”
Wang Zibo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there were other three or five friends at the door, and immediately pulled Chu Taiyuan to introduce him: "Come on, come, I'll introduce Taiyuan ......"
Everyone arched their hands to each other, and they were all very surprised by Chu Taiyuan's identity: "Brother Chu turned out to be Mr. Jing's high-ranking apprentice, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
"You're so kind." Chu Taiyuan hugged his fists in return, because this sloppy dress damaged the image of the teacher, and immediately said humbly: "Chu has always been stubborn, compared with the senior brothers, it is really unbearable, which makes you laugh." ”
"Where, Brother Chu is too modest." Everyone is polite again, after all, they are Jing Ce Nian's apprentices, and face must be given.
Wang Zibo smiled on his face, just watched Chu Taiyuan deal with everyone, as if it was funny, and did not interfere and interrupt.
Chu Taiyuan simply dealt with a few words and his brain was sweating, he was uninhibited, and what he didn't like the most on weekdays was to deal with these serious people, and he would give him a quote from the scriptures at every turn to exaggerate, which was very vain and not real at all.
Turning his head to look at Wang Zibo, who deliberately wanted to embarrass him, Chu Taiyuan looked for an opportunity to change the topic and said, "I just heard your comments on strategy?" ”
"That's right, the policy discussion jointly launched by the seven great scholars in Ningzhou, people who are not talented and outstanding cannot participate, Brother Chu is a senior disciple of Mr. Jing, and his talent must be above us, why don't you go with me?" A young scribe said.
Chu Taiyuan immediately shook his head: "Although Chu has been taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, he has not been able to learn the fur, so I better not be embarrassed by such a grand event." ”
"Taiyuan is humble again, if even you go is embarrassing, won't others become a joke?" Wang Zibo took the opportunity to invite: "This time the Wang family also participated in the joint name, since Taiyuan is here, why don't you go with me and others to see how about it?" ”
"I'm still exempt, right?" Chu Taiyuan was a little overwhelmed, he didn't want to be a leader yet, and the original intention of this strategy and review was obviously to select talents.
Wang Zibo didn't reluctantly say: "Taiyuan doesn't necessarily have to take countermeasures, it's good to watch from the sidelines, you see that my things have been packed up, and my Wang family is one of the scholars who participated in the joint signature, so it is inevitable that people will be criticized if they don't go." ”
"That'...... All right! Chu Taiyuan couldn't help it, and this time he rushed to send the head, so he had to reluctantly agree.
Of course, in addition to their young talents, there are also female family members accompanying the trip, and soon after everyone greeted each other, there were several women in their prime who came out together.
And the girl she had met by chance at the bazaar was among them.
Chu Taiyuan and the young talents around him couldn't pee in a pot, and they listened to everyone's conversation absentmindedly, and when they saw those female dependents going out, they recognized the girl at once.
It's just that out of courtesy, he didn't dare to look at it more, so he could only wait for Wang Zibo to come forward and make an introduction.
"Rong'er, let's see who's coming." Wang Zibo was very excited, and pulled his daughter-in-law to Chu Taiyuan.
"To make my husband so happy, I think this must be Uncle Chu Taiyuan Chu?" Qi Jingrong, who was in her twenties, came over and bowed.
"Taiyuan has seen my sister-in-law!" Chu Taiyuan hurriedly returned the salute, and looked at Wang Zibo with a puzzled expression when he got up, he didn't expect that this sister-in-law, who had never met before, could recognize him at a glance.
Qi Jingrong was delicate, and at a glance she could see Chu Taiyuan's doubts, and smiled: "My husband often mentions all kinds of things in Taoyuan at home, and every time I mention Uncle Chu, I will show this smile. ”
"I see." Chu Taiyuan remembered the ridiculous things he did with Wang Zibo on Taoyuan Mountain, and a smile appeared on his face.
Wang Zibo didn't elaborate, and invited his son to come over to visit.
"Ling Hong meets Uncle Chu!" A four or five-year-old boy came out and arched his hand, which was a bit of a small ghost, he was Wang Zibo's son, Wang Linghong.
Chu Taiyuan grinned, took out the tumbler that he had bought at random before from his arms and gave it to the other party and said, "When I came, I happened to see this little person on the road, so I chose one casually, and I will treat it as a meeting gift for you to play with." ”
"Ling Hong thanked Uncle Chu." Wang Linghong bowed down to thank him, but he was not stage frightened at all.
After introducing his wife and children, Wang Zibo also beckoned his sister-in-law over and introduced him to Chu Taiyuan.
To Chu Taiyuan's surprise, the young girl he met by chance in the downtown area was actually his best friend's sister-in-law.
"Jing Yi has seen Chu Gongzi." Qi Jingyi didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet Chu Taiyuan again, and when she learned that she was still her brother-in-law's best friend, her heart was even more chaotic.
Wang Zibo looked at his sister-in-law's shy appearance in his eyes, and then looked at Chu Taiyuan, who was a little unnatural, and the smile on his face was even worse: "Jingyi, do you know Taiyuan?" ”
Without waiting for Qi Jingyi to reply, Chu Taiyuan preemptively said: "When I came, I met by chance in the downtown area, but I never thought that it was my sister-in-law's little sister, which is really rude." ”
"What's so rude about this, if you want me to say, it's called fate." Wang Zibo said with a big grin: "Taiyuan, you are also twenty-one, Shu Guan should marry a wife and start a family for many years, the younger sister is eighteen years old, and she is also in the boudoir to be married, I think the two of you are just right for a couple, Rong'er, what do you say?" ”
"It's not appropriate, is it?" Chu Taiyuan was a little panicked, not only did he have to sacrifice his future when he came to Guangling, but now he even had to sacrifice his marriage?
Wang Zibo patted Chu Taiyuan on the shoulder and said, "Taiyuan is a senior disciple of Mr. Jing, is it possible that we Jingyi are not worthy of you?" ”
"What is this called, am I the kind of person who cares about my identity?" Chu Taiyuan was a little unhappy, knowing that Wang Zibo was deliberately provoking him, but in order to save the face of other girls, he had to explain.
Wang Zibo smiled and said, "Since there is no meaning to look down on, then what is inappropriate?" ”
"I don't like you, I don't want to marry you!" Chu Taiyuan was angry, raised his hand and punched Wang Zibo: "You deliberately want to embarrass me, right, make fun of your little sister Qingyu, you are not afraid of making people laugh." ”
"Look at what you said, how can this be a joke, you are all my dearest people, how can this be a joke?"
"Are you serious?" Chu Taiyuan instantly became serious, and looked at Qi Jingyi, whose face was like a peach blossom, and his eyes were looking forward to it, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the little man in the other party's hand.
It seems that there is indeed a lot of fate with each other.
Qi Jingrong saw that Chu Taiyuan was not disgusted, and immediately said: "Husband and Uncle Chu are like brothers, and it would be great if Jingyi could serve Uncle Chu in the future." ”
"Brother Chu, what else is there to hesitate about, you are talented and beautiful, and you are a match made in heaven." A group of young talents next to him also followed suit.
Everyone, you and I said a word, and Chu Taiyuan, who was not good at refusing, was completely pushed to the shelf.
Of course, the major event of marriage is not something that can be decided by a few people casually, and it still needs the words of the parents to make a decision.
Wang Zibo didn't dwell on this matter, and simply expressed his attitude, and both sides had succeeded more than half of the time without resisting, and the rest of the things still need to be discussed in the long run.
"The policy review is imminent, so it is better to wait for the policy review to be completed before discussing it in detail." Wang Zibo clapped his hands and said: "Let's go, go to the county town first!" ”
