Chapter 480: Visiting Relatives and Friends
Wang Qu, who was lying on the bed, had a thin face, his cheeks were sunken, and his two eye sockets were the same, but those eyes were blazing, staring at Zhang Yunwen who entered the room. There were a few strands of white beard hanging on the chapped lips, and he reluctantly squeezed his mouth to reveal a smile.
Seeing Wang Qu like this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but feel sad. This old man has helped him several times, and his relationship with him is not deep, and his granddaughter is now his wife's room. Under such a close relationship, watching this old man from the spirit of the past to the present year, it is sad and difficult to explain in a few words.
Putting down the gift in his hand, Zhang Yunwen came to the head of the bed, looked at this Wang Qu, and said loudly: "Old man, how do you feel?" ”
Wang Qu glared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang boy, the old man is not deaf, he can hear it, he can hear it!" ”
Zhang Yunwen smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice: "Old man, how do you feel?" ”
"What else!" That Wang Qu sighed lightly, "In the past, half a foot entered the coffin, but today the whole body is in the coffin, and only one head is exposed!" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Qu glanced at Zhang Yunwen: "Hmm, Zhang boy, I heard that you are the Eastern Capital Pastor in Luoyang, did you offend Your Majesty and be demoted out of Beijing?" ”
Zhang Yunwen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is dissatisfied with the collection of commercial tax, so he sent a kid to Luoyang to supervise this matter." But when the kid arrived in Luoyang, he realized that the families there were colluded, intertwined, and there were more caravans and material distribution, which was very complicated! ”
Wang Qulian coughed a few times, took a breath, and then said: "These old men also know that when the old man was working hard in Luoyang, he had a lot of dealings with these people. Among them, the patriarch of the Zhou family is really a masterpiece of a generation, whether it is receiving people or strategizing, he can be regarded as the leader of Luoyang City. If you despise that Zhou Lao'er, I'm afraid it will be you who suffers! ”
Hearing Wang Qu say this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but be stunned, and the kind and amiable face of the Zhou family patriarch immediately appeared in his mind.
Wang Qu said again: "But you don't have to worry too much, you now have His Majesty's edict, you are in charge of the military and government of the entire Henan, and you have great authority, and you are not afraid of these families!" But blindly suppressing is not a good thing, after suppression, give them a little sweetness, this can work! ”
Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but nodded, this Wang Qu is also a powerful character. The carrot and stick policy of US imperialism was as simple as drinking water and eating.
After saying these words, Wang Qu coughed violently again. And Wang Yan, who was behind Zhang Yunwen, couldn't help but reach out and pinched Zhang Yunwen's abdomen deeply. The latter suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said to Wang Qu: "Okay, old man, let's talk about it tomorrow if we have something to say, you better rest early!" Look at you, you can't stop coughing when you say two sentences! ”
Wang Qu sighed lightly, his body relaxed on the bed made of green bamboo, and slowly closed his eyes: "Okay, the old man has rested first today, and you should rest early!" ”
Zhang Yunwen and Wang Yan glanced at each other and slowly and gently exited the room. When the two maids standing outside the room saw the two come out, they bowed, entered the room, and took care of Wang Qu.
But that Zhang Yunwen grabbed Wang Yan's little hand and pulled Wang Yan in front of him. At this time, it was summer, and the two were thinly dressed, and this slight contact was like an electric shock.
"Xiang, Xianggong!" Wang Yan let out a voice like a mosquito, "No, don't do this, grandpa is still lying in the house!" ”
Zhang Yunwen looked at Wang Yan in some surprise, and then showed a wicked smile: "What? My husband just wants to hug you, what else? Where do you want to go! ”
On Wang Yan's pretty face, she was suddenly full of blush, and the fierce aura that she had commanded at the beginning recurred, and she stretched out her hand violently and covered Zhang Yunwen's mouth: "Don't laugh!" ”
Although Zhang Yunwen, who was covered in his mouth, couldn't speak, the smile in his eyes did not decrease.
"Oops-" Wang Yan retracted her hand violently and looked at Zhang Yunwen with an angry expression. But it was Zhang Yunwen who stuck out his tongue and licked it on Wang Yan's hand that covered his mouth.
Wang Yan, who was full of shame, quickly made a move, pinched the soft flesh on Zhang Yunwen's waist, and pinched it hard.
In this way, the young couple, who had been separated for more than half a month, played around on the corridor and walked to Wang Yan's room.
"No, not tonight!" Wang Yan leaned against the door and stopped Zhang Yunwen, "Che'er is still asleep inside!" ”
So Zhang Yunwen had to find another room, rest on the bed, and rest in his clothes.
The next day, Zhang Yunwen got up weakly and stood outside the corridor, breathing in the fresh morning air.
The door behind him opened, and Wang Yan led the neatly dressed Zhang Che to remove the door.
"Dad-" Zhang Che shouted sweetly, and pounced all at once.
Because Zhang Che was weak when he was born, this weakness has been with him until now, so Zhang Yunwen usually loves this little son very much. Seeing Zhang Che pounce up, he picked up his small body.
Then, Zhang Yunwen and Wang Yan took Zhang Ji to the room where Wang Qu was and asked Wang Qu for peace. This is the etiquette of the younger generation to the elders.
Although Wang Qu complained about why Zhang Yunwen didn't let his great-grandson come over after eating, the smile on his face undoubtedly exposed his mood at the moment.
After coming out of Wang's house, Zhang Yunwen went home and moved a lot of things from the warehouse at home to the carriage. Today, he is going to visit a group of people who are close to him, such as Wei Chi Jingde, the Liu brothers, and the king of Fushun County. After all, I haven't been back to Chang'an for more than half a year, and if I don't go to visit this time, it's really not in line with etiquette.
So, in the next two days, Zhang Yunwen visited around Chang'an City with gifts. Anyway, the affairs of Luoyang have been handed over to Wang Fangyi and the others, and there is no bad news from Luoyang for the time being. And whether Li Shimin urged himself to return to Luoyang, why not take this opportunity to stay in Chang'an.
When he was at Wei Chi Jingde's house, Wei Chi Gong, who was already gray-haired, looked at Zhang Yunwen and couldn't help but show a sincere smile: "Haha, Yunwen, I have heard that you have entered Chang'an, why did you come here now!" ”
Zhang Yunwen hurriedly explained: "Master, it's not up to me to have the final say in this matter! In Luoyang, I heard that His Majesty was in a coma, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me back, and of course I had to go to the palace as soon as I returned. I talked with His Majesty and the Crown Prince in the palace for a day, and in the evening I had to visit the old man Wang Qu. I'm afraid this old man's time is running out. No, I came to visit you early this morning! ”
Wei Chigong just said it casually, but Zhang Yunwen explained it in such detail, and laughed at the moment: "Okay, don't talk about it, our master and apprentice haven't been together for a long time!" Come on, don't get drunk today! ”
When Zhang Yunwen went out from Wei Chi's mansion in the afternoon, the whole person had already vomited twice and was half drunk. However, he still clearly remembered that after Yu Chi Gong drank wine with himself, the two brothers, Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing, held the sea bowl and kept toasting to him. And Wei Chigong watched from the sidelines, with a smile on his face.
When he was drunk, Zhang Yunwen was completely ruthless, and after getting the Wei Chi brothers drunk, he left the Wei Chi Mansion under the escort of Mrs. Wei Chi.
Then there are the Liu brothers. After the family was separated, the Liu brothers also came to Zhang Yunwen's house from time to time, and the children of the two brothers, that is, Zhang Yunwen's nephew, often came to Zhang Yunwen's house to play. But by the time they were fourteen or fifteen years old, there was much less of such activity.
Liu Yong's eldest son once messed with those princes and princesses when Zhang Yunwen was training them. Now, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was selected by Li Zhi to enter the East Palace as a guard, which made the Liu family very happy.
When Zhang Yunwen came to the Liu family, when the Liu brothers saw Zhang Yunwen, they also pulled Zhang Yunwen over to drink. In the meantime, he also let his son come up to accompany the wine.
After drinking, Liu Wu said half-drunk and half-awake: "Hehe, third child, do you know that not long ago, I saw a woman in a restaurant in Chang'an, and that person looked really like the aunt of the Zhang family!" ”
As soon as he heard Liu Wu's words, Zhang Yunwen's hand that put the wine into his mouth suddenly stopped, put down the wine glass, and stared at Liu Wu with red eyes: "You, what are you talking about!" ”
