Chapter 226: Green smoke from the ancestral tomb
A few low yellow mud houses, surrounded by several fruit trees and large elm trees. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ The door of the courtyard nailed to the wooden board is painted with red paint, which roughly constitutes an authentic farmhouse courtyard.
When Zhang Fan walked to the door of the small courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia from the bottom of his heart, when he and the Zhou family were dependent on each other in the past, the place where they lived was similar to this.
Zhang Fan made a look, Zhou Tai stepped forward and buckled the door, and after a while, a middle-aged man in his forties with gray temples opened the wooden door, and saw Zhang Fan and his party couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that they were dressed as either rich or expensive, he couldn't help but ask with some trepidation:
"Who are you looking for?"
Zhang Fan spoke: "Dare to ask, but Zhao Yu and Zhao Gong?" β
Zhao Yu was flattered and said: "Don't dare, the little old man is indeed Zhao Yu, I don't know what you have to do with the villain?" β
Zhang Fan said gently: "That's fine." In Zhang Fan, Xiawu County, I saw Zhao Gong ......"
"Zhang Fan?" Zhao Yu felt that this name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. Suddenly his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise:
"You...... Are you a champion? β
Zhang Fan smiled: "It's me." β
Zhao Yu bent down and bent his knees to salute, Zhang Fan hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to be polite when you travel in casual clothes today...... I came uninvited today, and I asked for something. But in terms of not speaking, it is better to ......"
Zhao Yuleng paused, stretched out his hand and said, "Please, please insideβ"
Zhang Fan turned around and said, "I'll just go in alone, and you will stay at the door." β
The crowd saluted respectfully and said, "No." β
Zhao Yu's face changed slightly, and he believed in Zhang Fan's identity a little, after all, pretending to be a liehou is a "great rebellion", which is a serious crime for the three clans, and he has never heard of anyone doing such a thing.
After entering the door, Zhao Yu's wife served Zhang Fan tea, and when she heard Zhang Fan's identity, she panicked, almost knocked over the tea, and then slipped out like running away.
The two exchanged a few words, and Zhang Fan directly explained his intentions:
"I don't know where Ling Lang is?"
Zhao Yu replied respectfully: "The dog went up the mountain to chop wood, and it is estimated that he will be back soon...... What do you have to do with the dogs, or I will let you visit you? β
Zhang Fan waved his hand and said, "No need. I have heard for a long time that Lang Zhao Zilong's heart is full of gold and stone, and his righteousness is thin and cloudy, and he is not particularly full of guts. He is full of wisdom and has the style of an ancient minister. Now Jiangdong Shanyue was initially decided, and it was the time to employ people, and a certain person was thirsty for talent, so he came not far to recruit him as a military captain, leading an army alone, and serving as a counselor in military affairs. β
Zhao Yu was dumbfounded, surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but tremble, he never expected that when the time came, the world's famous champion Hou and General Zhennan would actually turn over and personally come to the door to recruit his son as the captain under his command.
He also joined the army when he was young, and he knew that the captain was still above the captain, the chief, the uncle, the hundred generals, the Yamen general, the cavalry governor, the department governor, the Sima of other departments, and the cavalry captain.
Zhao Yu asked with a trill, "Jun ...... Princely ...... No...... Isn't it a joke? I know exactly how many catties and taels the dog has, isn't Junhou Mo overestimating him? β
"I can have my current status because of my eyes, I have never looked away, don't believe it and wait and see!" Zhang Fan said confidently:
"Ling Lang was born to be a soldier, he was born a hero on the battlefield, and he won fame with swords and guns, which is definitely not a thing in the pool. The Zhao family is noble and glorious, and it should be in this person. β
Zhao Yu's face turned red, and he couldn't say a word excitedly. Regardless of whether this sentence is true or not, as long as Zhang Fan says this, the fake can become true!
Zhang Fan took a sip of the teacup, it was really hard to drink, but Zhang Fan didn't show it, and took another big sip before putting down the cup.
Zhao Yu was still immersed in joy and couldn't extricate himself. Zhang Fan glanced at the sunset in the West Mountain, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"It's getting late today, I'll leave first, please be sure to tell Ling Lang the sincerity below, I'll come back tomorrow to visit ......"
Zhao Yu saw that the sun was about to set, although he was anxious, but he had no position to stay. Besides, he can't spare room at home for so many of them.
Zhang Fan said goodbye to Zhao Yu, and the Zhao couple sent them to the entrance of the village, and watched their carriage leave the sight all the way before turning back......
Just as he was about to enter the door, the neighbor's daughter-in-law leaned out half of her body and asked with envy:
"Brother Zhao, who is this? What are you doing? β
Mother Zhao was about to answer, Zhao Yu glared at her, turned her head and said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's just that the noble son of the city went out hunting, and came to my house to beg for a bowl of water to drink......"
After speaking, he pulled Zhao's mother into the door and closed the courtyard door with a "bang". The neighbor's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and spit out four words: "The villain has a will!" \'
As soon as Zhao Yu entered the door, he said to his wife solemnly: "No one is allowed to say anything about today's champion Hou, and don't leak a word, otherwise it will ruin our son's future, you wait to cry, right?" β
Mother Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Why?" β
Zhao Yu spread his hands and said: "This matter has not been decided yet, you squeak and spread ten, ten and hundred, and after tonight, it is estimated that the whole village will know." Tomorrow the champion Hou will come, then it is not surrounded by three layers of inner and outer three layers, this person has a lot of mouths, and if he can't keep it, he will be red with our family, and deliberately say some nonsense in public to slander our son, what should I do if the champion Hou changes his mind? β
Zhao's mother suddenly realized and slapped her thigh, "Oh, I almost forgot, the long-tongued woman in this village can't do anything else, and she can't see anyone else." Seeing that our Yun'er is ascending to the sky step by step, it's strange that they don't gossip! Or do you have the foresight, and you are not blind when you send our son to learn martial arts from an early age......"
Zhao Yu was proud, and said in high spirits:
"Needless to say? Since I was a child, I knew that our son was a good material for learning martial arts, and I had to send him to worship Tong Yuan as a teacher if I was frugal. Do you know what the prince said? The Zhao family is noble and glorious, and it should be on our son. That's what promised...... With the words of the prince and the marquis, our Zhao family can be regarded as turning over, and the descendants of future generations will not suffer and be poor like us......"
Mother Zhao's eyes turned red instantly, and she choked up and said:
"Prince, did he really say that? Heaven bless, we can be regarded as meeting nobles, it doesn't matter if we suffer hardships, as long as Yun'er can get ahead and glorify our ancestors, I will die, and I can be blinded......"
Zhao Yu wiped away his wife's tears and said, "What do you say about whether you are dead or not?" This is a good thing, crying and crying, how bad it is, what if my son comes back and sees it? Don't cry, go pour me a bowl of water. I was so nervous just now that I didn't dare to touch a sip of water, and I died of thirst......"
Zhao's mother poured a bowl of tea and handed it to him, Zhao Yu poured a big mouthful, and suddenly spit on the ground with a "poof", and said dissatisfiedly:
"What does it smell like? Oh, you ruined aunt, did you take out the tea sent by the fourth daughter-in-law and make it, didn't I tell you that this tea was broken, so you lost it? β
Mother Zhao slapped her forehead, "Ah! As soon as I heard that the champion was coming to the door, I forgot about it when I was nervous. It's over, isn't it the prince who also drank it......"
Zhao Yu approached the cup that Zhang Fan had just drunk and saw that he had gone more than halfway, and couldn't help but be in awe and full of emotion:
"Hey, this prince is really ...... Corporal Lixian, you have given us enough face! Our son can meet such a good nobleman, it is really the ancestral tomb that smokes......" (To be continued.) )
