Chapter 108: Ying Tianwang's Family (Middle)
"A river is soaked in the cold sky in autumn, and the fishing flute makes the evening breeze for no reason. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info who folds the heart of the waves, and the sunset shadow is broken and red. Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao Yuan Dao is polite! ”
Although the Taoist priest was sprayed with soup stains, his demeanor remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Chao Chong and everyone stood up to apologize and said, "Unintentional mistake offended the Taoist, please forgive me." ”
People can be tough and heroic, but they must not be unreasonable.
Guan Yu is proud of the superior but not bullied, is not afraid of power, treats the weak well, and is respected as a martial saint through the ages.
Lu Bu is arrogant and arrogant, arrogant to the powerful, arrogant to his subordinates, and has lost people's hearts, and the three surnames are slaves.
Chao Chong has also been instilling this point of view in his subordinates, so a reckless man like Zhou Tong will actively admit his mistakes to others after making mistakes. Murderous demon kings like Li Kui and Bao Xu will have a calm attitude in the face of the weak.
"It doesn't matter, Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and Taoism talks about chance. Poor Dao went out once a half a month, but he stayed because of this incident, thinking that it was due to chance. Aren't you little brother asking Poor Dao to sit down? ”
That Taoist man looks like he is in his forties, with towering buns, two earlobe sideburns, colorful eyebrows, eyes like stars, a clear beard, a gossip robe, and a pair of thin-soled soap boots.
"If the Taoist chief is interested, it is better together. Little two, add a pair of chopsticks! ”
Chao Chong greeted warmly.
After the man sat down, he didn't rush to introduce himself, but stared at Chao Chong's face carefully.
"Dao Commander looks at me like this, does he want to say that my bones are amazing, but I am a martial arts wizard that is rare to see in a hundred years, and he wants to pass on my peerless martial arts and maintain world peace?"
Chao Chong took a sip of the soup and chuckled and teased.
"No, I just feel familiar, déjà vu."
The man stroked his beard and smiled faintly.
After Liu Huiniang browsed Chao Chong and that person's faces, she couldn't help but say, "You two look alike." ”
Li Kui also scratched his head, opened his bull's eyes wide, and exclaimed: "It's really a bit like that, Childe, is he your long-lost brother?" ”
Man is a very strange animal, he can see the similarity of others, but he can't see things similar to himself.
Chao Chong never felt that anyone looked particularly similar to him, including his father Chao Gai and mother Wang, Chao Chong never felt anything similar, let alone a strange Taoist priest.
Chao Chong said to Li Kui: "You have been a big-headed ghost for many years! Nonsense, where are we like? The Taoist is older than my father, don't you say that taking advantage of the Taoist chief? I don't apologize to the Taoist yet! ”
"Hehe, I'm just telling the truth. That old way, my old cow is straightforward, don't be angry! ”
"If the heart of a child is like this, how can I blame it. But after you said it, I realized why I felt that this little brother was familiar. Dare to ask the little brother's name and surname? ”
That long cultivation is good, and offensive words are only used as a breeze.
"Under the surname Chao, a single name is a punch word!"
Chao Chong cautiously said his name, and did not say that he lived in Yuncheng, Shandong, because he was afraid that the wanted warrant of Liangshan Qunxiong would reach Yingtianfu and be recognized. After speaking, carefully observe the color of the man's expression to see how he reacts. Based on his reaction, he will decide whether to continue to disclose his information.
"Oh, your family lives in Yuncheng, Shandong?" The Taoist was pleasantly surprised.
was called out by someone, which made Chao Chong startled, and he couldn't help but be even more vigilant in his heart, raised his hand to stop Li Kui, who wanted to speak, and arched his hand to the Taoist and said: "The surname Chao in the world is millions, why does the Taoist chief think that he must be from Shandong?" ”
The Taoist was stunned when he heard this, then laughed, waved his hand, and the wide Taoist robe swept across the table, and an eight-inch-high gourd suddenly appeared on the table, shouting to Xiao Er: "Old rule, fill this gourd." ”
The Taoist's move of volleying into a body made Liu Huiniang, Li Kui and others stunned for a moment, adding a sense of mystery to the Taoist.
And Chao Chong was also shocked by the other party's skills, and sighed secretly, such a fast approach. Stared at him
Name: Wang Yu (Yuan Dao Zhenren)
Health: 1900/1900
Commander-in-Chief: 22
Force: 71
Intelligence: 95
Politics: 34
Charisma: 92
Affinity: Closeness
Characteristics: Virtue (thickening virtue, containing all things; Fame and fortune are blessed. )
It doesn't seem like he is his enemy. Chao Chong's attitude also relaxed.
Xiao Er of the restaurant came over to take away the gourd on the table, and said quite skillfully: "Beifu Bing Kitchen is two catties, and it will be there in a while." ”
After the little two left, the Taoist said: "Poor Dao is just an occasional person who comes to drink, why are you so vigilant." ”
"Occasionally? But I think that Xiao Er is quite familiar with the Taoist chief? ”
Chao Chong had some doubts.
"Isn't it once in half a month? As long as you can keep doing this for a few years, this little two will know you. ”
The Taoist explained with a smile.
That Daoist's words lowered the vigilance of Chao Chong and the others, a Taoist who has been here to buy wine for many years, and is familiar with the people around him, the danger should not be too great.
The man continued to laugh and said: "Just now you asked me why I knew that you were from Shandong, but Poor Dao didn't answer, but after I deliberately diverted the topic, all of you are still waiting for my next step, eager for me to explain the reason, which is enough for me to be sure that you are from Yuncheng, Shandong, and you are still from Dongxi Village, right?" ”
"Dao Chang has good eyesight! Just, do you know me? ”
Chao Chong believed that the task panel would not deceive himself, and this Taoist's attitude towards himself was "close", so he should not harm himself, so he generously admitted it.
"Hahaha, I know not only you, but also your father."
"Didn't ask?" Hearing that he knew his father, Chao Chong was even more respectful.
"Chong'er! Don't come to meet the third uncle! The man stroked his beard and smiled.
Chao Chong looked at that person in surprise, the memory of before the age of fifteen in his mind was long gone, and he didn't know anything about coming to Ying Tianfu when he was a child, so he couldn't help but stay on the spot.
If you admit it, what if you make a mistake? If you don't admit it, don't you seem to be very unkind?
Chao Chong had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, shook his head and said: "I broke my head a few years ago, and I don't remember many things anymore when I was a child." Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? ”
The man laughed, pointed at Chao Chong and said: "That's even more right, my little sister always mentions that you broke your head when you were fifteen years old, and since then you have changed from a gentleman to a dragon and phoenix among people, I can't believe it." It seems that you are right, I said why do you feel familiar, but it is the same as my little sister. ”
was worried about how to enter the Wang family, and didn't want to meet relatives, so he arched his hand and said, "Who are you?" ”
The Taoist smiled and said: "I am your third uncle, Wang Yu, Wang Fudao, Dao number Yuan Dao Zhenren, you used to call me Uncle Immortal when you were a child!" ”
Chao Chong pursed his lips, was he such a fool when he was a child?
But the number of etiquette is indispensable, Chao Chong hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said, "Uncle is above, please accept the boy's worship!" ”
Liu Huiniang, Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Yu Baosi also bowed down.
Wang Yu helped Chao Chong up with satisfaction, looked at Liu Huiniang and Li Kui again, and praised: "Are these the bankers in your Chao Jiazhuang?" Compared to my Wang family, it is not inferior! ”
"Well, they're my personal companions, my brothers!"
The third uncle doesn't seem to know that the Chao family has been forced to Liangshan, and he still thinks that my father and I are running Chao Jiazhuang?
The mother was sent back to the Tianfu mother's family before the robbery of the birth gang, and the father has not sent a letter since then, so from a private channel, the mother should not know about the changes in the Chao family.
The official government's report and wanted warrant for the leader of Liangshan are mainly circulated at the government level, and the distance is a bit far. It's normal that they don't know what happened in Dongxi Village.
Chao Chong said tentatively: "Haven't my uncle heard that my father and I have already left Dongxi Village?" ”
"Leave? How to leave? Your ancestral business is not small, are you really going to live on those two caravans? Not advisable, not advisable! Wang Yu shook his head and sighed.
Seeing that the other party really didn't look like he knew the truth, Chao Chong didn't break it, and made a color to Li Kui and them, so that they could also be cautious in their words and deeds, and not cause trouble in vain.
Soon, Xiao Er brought the gourd full of wine, and Wang Yu put it into his arms with satisfaction, and said, "Since you have come to Yingtianfu, why don't you go to live at home?" Let's go, come home with me. ”
Chao Chong couldn't ask for it, so he immediately settled the accounts with the restaurant, and led the horse to follow Wang Yu to the palace.
While walking, Chao Chong chatted with Wang Yu and said, "Beifu Bingchu is a kind of wine name? Is there no wine in the palace? Do you want your uncle to come out to sell wine? ”
Wang Yu smiled mysteriously and said: "The Beifu Soldier Kitchen is a kind of spirit, and only those who have fought on the battlefield can taste it. You have to keep it a secret from me when I go out to buy wine. ”
The third uncle is such a seeker, he must not have been in the army, that is to say, this wine was not bought for him to drink. And those who are qualified to let the third uncle come out to buy wine, do you need to say it?
And the third uncle also hid the wine so tightly, for fear that others would know, there must be a reason for it, Chao Chong chuckled and said: "Uncle is a fairy, I only have envy, but I don't see anything." ”
"Clever, huh."
Wang Yu led everyone to the back door of the palace, where the guards guarding the back door saw Wang Yu coming, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Dao Ye! ”
Wang Yu held his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Open the door and let us in. ”
"Yes!"
These guards are neat with their hands and feet, and there is a hint of murder in their movements, which makes Chao Chong secretly admire, and after the group entered the mansion, Chao Chong praised: "Sure enough, they are good guards!" ”
Wang Yu smiled and said: "When my father retired, many soldiers who followed him still chose to follow. My father had no other hobbies, but he was good at training, so he used them as the foundation to train a hundred internal guards in the palace, and practiced them from time to time, so that my father could talk to relieve his boredom. ”
"It's really an elite look." Chao Chong praised.
"Veterans don't die, and their spirit lasts forever. But as time passed, the younger generation did not experience killing, and gradually became empty. This is what my father said, but I think that instead of teaching them to fight for their lives, it is better to teach them some virtues. Now in a peaceful and prosperous world, where are there still meritorious deeds, and where are there still fights to go? ”
Chao Chong chuckled silently, discussing military affairs with a Taoist scholar, just bringing trouble to himself.
After entering the courtyard of the Wang family, Chao Chong observed the surrounding scenery while walking, only to find that this courtyard is really big and surprisingly large, although there are no luxurious house buildings, but the thick trees are in rows, the canals are all over, some houses are dotted in between, those houses are bamboo and wood lattice windows, green bricks and green tiles, and the snow is reflected in winter.
Chao Chong couldn't help but praise: "Every inch of land in Tianfu City is expensive, and the Wang Family Manor can have such a scale and scenery, which is really enviable!" ”
Wang Yu said: "My father has fought on the battlefield all his life, and the official family rewarded this mansion in Yingtianfu. The eldest brother and we were both born and grew up here, and the memory of our hometown in Jiangxi only exists in the Qingming Festival. After his father went into hiding, he built this place as his hometown, and the family's manor was also built by a famous craftsman. If you have time, you can enjoy it more, and I'll take you to meet your father first! ”
Chao Chong said: "Grandpa seems to like trees very much, there are big trees everywhere in the house, and there are roads here, if strangers come in, I'm afraid I have to get lost." ”
Wang Yu said: "My father does have a love for trees, he lives in the peach grove in the middle, there is a peach orchard, every spring, full of peach blossoms, summer is full of peaches, I used to play with my brothers on the tree when I was a child. My father didn't like to be surrounded by houses, but he liked to be surrounded by trees. Let's go! ”
Chao Chong smiled: "When you enter here, you seem to forget the disturbances of the outside world. ”
Under the guidance of Wang Yu, everyone walked through the woods, and only walked to the peach grove in the middle after a stick of incense, at this time it was already winter, the branches and leaves on the trees were bare, and some snow marks remained, through the gap between the branches, Chao Chong vaguely saw a circle of blue brick houses, simple and heavy.
When I got there, I saw a spirited, emaciated old man standing at the door, and two majestic guards standing on either side.
When Wang Yu saw it, he hurriedly went up to greet him and said, "I've seen my father! ”
The old man's eyes revealed a hint of joy, but he didn't show it, just nodded slightly, and then locked his eyes on Chao Chong's body again, and then turned around Li Kui, Bao Xu and others, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Good health!" ”
Wang Yu said to the old man: "Father, guess who is in front of you?" His surname is Chao and he is from Yuncheng, Shandong. ”
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "But the son of the girl? ”
Chao Chong hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Boy Chao Chong, I've seen my grandfather!" ”
The old man was Wang Shao, he happily helped Chao Chong up, kept looking up and down, left and right, as if carefully figuring out a rare treasure, his mouth kept sighing in amazement, and said: "Even you have grown so big." ”
Chao Chong was also very happy and had a few more relatives.
But before Chao Chong could say a word happily, the old man suddenly frowned and scolded: "Is that bastard Chao Gai here?" Bastard, he actually sent the girl back, and ignored it for half a year, did he think I was dead! ”
Chao Chong broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, no wonder his father was reluctant to come at that time, so he had to bring his own things to celebrate his birthday, and try his best to take his mother back.
It turns out that my grandfather is really so grumpy! From a kind old man to a violent old man, it took less than a few seconds.
Chao Chong had no choice but to explain patiently, and offered the two treasure knives he had prepared, which made the old man's anger disappear a little.
Wang Yu also persuaded: "Chao Gai is a bastard, but he can't let Chong'er suffer it, and his father is angry." When I see Chao Gai in the future, I will scold him! ”
The old man suppressed his anger, grabbed Chao Chong's hand, and kept lamenting how he was blind at that time, and chose Chao Gai, a scoundrel, as his son-in-law, which made Chao Chong embarrassed, but helpless.
People love to break their mouths when they are old, and Mr. Wang Shao is no exception. After some explanation, the old man's attention focused on the two treasure knives.
These two treasure knives are specially created by Chao Gai to make the money leopard Tang Long, the materials are all good iron, and the handle and scabbard are also finely carved, so that the old man Wang likes it very much.
Old Man Wang was full of interest, and threw the two treasure knives to the two guards behind him on the spot, and said, "Ah Bao, Ah Bi, try the knife!" ”
The two behind him stepped forward to receive the knife and received the order in a deep voice.
