Chapter 413: Wife and Family
"Xiaguan Su Dingfang asked to see the Hou Ye, and the little brother was annoyed to report it." Su Dingfang smiled and stuffed silver into Xiao Liuzi's hand, the reputation of the Cai family's gatehouse was well-known in Chang'an, and he had also heard of it.
Xiao Liuzi weighed the silver in his hand, threw it back to him and said, "Such a sincere silver, the master will not accept it." You are waiting here, and the Hou Ye will naturally see you when he wakes up. ”
Su Dingfang hurriedly caught the silver, carefully put it into his arms, and gently pressed it to make sure it would not fall, and then asked cautiously: "Little brother, does Master Hou know that the lower official is coming?" ”
"I wandered around the house for a few hours yesterday, of course I need to send someone to check on you." Xiao Liuzi said as a matter of course, Su Dingfang looked at Xiao Liuzi in surprise, how could a porter have such a big right?
"Mr. Shi, good morning."
"Young lady Ankang, are you going out? The small ones were accompanied by the guards. ”
Zheng Rong came over with a few maids and said lightly to Xiao Liuzi, who hurriedly returned the salute, completely ignoring the blazing eyes of those maids.
"No need, just go to the Duke of Qin's mansion, it's not very far."
Zheng Rong said with a smile, and Xiao Liuzi said seriously: "How can this work?" How can the young lady's status be precious without protection? Weiguo is becoming more and more unreliable, Xiao Tian, you take ten brothers to protect the safety of the young lady. ”
"Yes, Brother Liuzi"
The subordinate who was named by the sixth son immediately ran to order all the people, Su Dingfang was dumbfounded, what kind of subordinate is this! Cai Cong's relatives are not so majestic!
"Young lady, please be careful on the road, Chang'an has been mixed recently, you have to pay more attention to safety, otherwise the Hou Ye will be worried" Xiao Liuzi said respectfully, watching Zheng Rong leave the Hou Mansion
"The little brother is not a well-known figure in Chang'an, and there is only one little brother who can make the main family respect Mr.
Su Dingfang said half-sincerely and half-flatteringly, Xiao Liuzi yawned, and lay on the rocking chair casually, not everyone he cared for
The hot face was attached to the cold buttocks, and Su Dingfang was reluctant to talk, so he sat on the stool calmly and waited
After half an hour, Cai Cong yawned and ordered someone to pass Su Dingfang in, and Su Dingfang, who was originally very calm, heard that Cai Cong wanted to see him, and his palms suddenly sweated, his mouth was dry, and he walked nervously
"Small, small to meet Master Hou," Su Dingfang immediately saluted when he saw Cai Cong who was lying down, and said nervously
"No need to be polite, the Turks haven't seen each other for a long time, General Su was in high spirits at that time, it is said that such a great credit should be proud of the spring breeze now, why is it so depressed now"
Cai Cong asked calmly, just like asking a passer-by on the road if the weather is good today, Su Dingfang was extremely embarrassed, the credit was robbed by Cai Cong back then, and the two had a dispute, although it was solved by Cai Cong lightly, but he still blushed when he thought about it now
"Ashamed, ashamed, the lower official was falsely accused of robbing the treasure of the Khan tent of Jieli, Dali Temple obviously has no evidence but it is not said that the lower official occupies the treasure, and the lower official has to admit his guilt, and the result is so many years"
Su Dingfang said bitterly, and the others who pleaded guilty were fined a little money and let him go gently, only he was dragged like this, and he even wondered if it was because he had taken refuge in Dou Jiande back then, Dou Jiande was also a hero, if he hadn't met a pig teammate and a mistakenly killed general, Li Shimin might not have been able to beat him, so the year Dou Jiande was arrested, Li Yuan quickly executed him in Chang'an
"Since you're here, why don't you find your master to intercede for you?"
"Alas, although Li Guogong has the name of master and apprentice with Xiaguan, but Master Mingzhe will not interfere at all to protect himself, let alone help Xiaguan, Xiaguan came today to ask Hou Ye to take him in, and Xia Guan will only look forward to Hou Ye in the future, and he will not give up" Su Dingfang with a faint resentment, Li Jing's name is too big, and his reputation is tiring, he didn't even dare to help Su Dingfang say a word
"Although you are already like this, but you are Li Guogong's disciple after all, Ben Hou can't take you in, unless you and Li Guogong sever the master-apprentice relationship, so that Ben Hou will not be overstepped" Cai Cong said lightly, Su Dingfang's face darkened, showing a desolate smile of loss, he thought that Cai Cong would not be able to tolerate him because of the festival that year, but he didn't expect to reject him because of Li Jing's relationship
But the prince of heaven and earth is the five outlines of Lunchang, and if he wants to abandon the outline to find the wealth and nobility like him, I'm sorry I can't do it
"Since this is the case, the lower official is disturbed today, so I will leave" Su Dingfang said lonely, his heart was extremely tingling, and he didn't know how to face his wife when he went home
"Your stuff has been dropped, take it back!" Cai Cong glanced at the things on the ground, and said lightly, Su Dingfang smiled miserably and turned around to pick up the gift, he couldn't even give the gift, it was really embarrassing
"Ben Hou is not talking about those, but these, take it and go home, Ben Hou hates a man like you who cries and cries the most" Cai Cong said with a smile, Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, turned his head and found that the golden light on the table was shining, wasn't it the gold jewelry he pawned yesterday
"Master Hou, this ......"
"If you dare to say that you will cut off your master and apprenticeship with Li Guogong, Benhou will also return these things to you, but it is impossible to carry you. You are very good, go home and pack up, and go to the barracks tomorrow to find Fang Yuan, and he will arrange your position. ”
Cai Cong said and wrapped up the gold ornament and threw it to him, Su Dingfang hugged and knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, which means that he is already convinced.
"Let's go back! Use your performance to tell Ben Hou that I didn't choose the wrong person. Cai Cong said to Su Dingfang with a smile, Su Dingfang was grateful to Dade for retreating this time.
"Take it, this is for you by Master Hou. A good man actually fell to the point where he needed to pawn his wife's dowry for the sake of an official body, you really have backbone. Xiao Liuzi stuffed a bag of silver into Su Dingfang's arms and said disdainfully.
Su Dingfang looked at the little six sons lying on the chair with a comfortable face, and a wave of jealousy suddenly surged in his heart, maybe this is the real person who is at ease, not trapped by fame and fortune, and is free.
When he returned home, his wife waited for him to change into civilian clothes, and did not ask him if he had failed. He couldn't help it, hugged his wife, and cheered: "It's done, the lady is done, the husband will be able to go out soon, and he must return to his hometown at that time to bring you a good life." ”
"Okay, great, my husband can finally fulfill his ambitions." Su Dingfang's wife did not point out that he brought him any glory and wealth to herself, but she was extremely happy that the man could display his ambitions.
"Quick, let me down, I'll go pack your bags." The woman said shyly, her husband has never hugged her like this! Su Dingfang's dark face blushed, and he stood aside and smirked.
However, the next day, when he was about to leave the city in military uniform, he was stopped by the city gate official, saying that he was not allowed to leave Beijing because of his guilt. Su Dingfang's whole body trembled, and he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
"Ask the Hou Ye to call the shots for the lower officials."
Under the grief and indignation, Su Dingfang didn't want any cheekiness, and knelt directly in the Hou Mansion and screamed sadly.
