Chapter 325: Unexpected People and Things (II)
They stayed in Zhengning County for five days, and on the sixth day the messenger finally returned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This time, I also brought a personal servant of Dugu Xin to recognize people to see if these people were the Dugu sisters and Li Yuan Yang Jian. As soon as the county magistrate heard that someone had been sent from above, he immediately arranged for the promotion of the hall, and brought Li Yuan and them over, and the whole hall was silent, because they were afraid of exposing Yuan Hong's identity, so they did not explain the origin of these two people to the county magistrate.
Dugu Linglong asked the official curiously: "Brother Errand Official, you said that someone from my family came, who is it?" Why don't you see others? Duguyan was also curious about who her father would send to pick them up and bring them back to Anding. The county magistrate was shocked at this time and shouted: "The hall is quiet, and the court must not be disturbed!" "Don't look at him as a big official, the official frame is very full, and he has a kind of veteran who has been an official for many years, Li Yuan and Yang Jian want to go up and beat him when they see him like that.
At this time, a person slowly walked outside the hall, and everyone looked at him, this person was an old man. Li Yuan was happy when he saw it, isn't this the housekeeper of Dugu Yan's family! How could he appear here, Li Yuan stepped forward and asked curiously, "Old man, why are you here?" When the housekeeper saw that it was Li Yuan, he immediately smiled and said, "It seems that it's really you, Li Gongzi, no, I should call you young aunt now." Saying that, Li Yuan introduced him to the Dugu sisters and Yang Jian to recognize each other. The Dugu sisters kept talking around the old man, the old housekeeper had been a housekeeper in Duguxin's house for almost forty years, not to mention the two Dugu sisters, even Duguxin had grown up with him.
Li Yuan had to admire that his father-in-law-to-be was really doing things safely, and he sent the most reliable and safest person, if you changed someone, it wouldn't necessarily be good. When the county magistrate saw the family reunion, his eyes lit up, and now he had hope for his future. God still loves him, knowing that it is not easy for him to be a county official in this poor and remote place for almost ten years, so a cornucopia fell from the sky, and the ancestral tomb smoked green smoke, allowing him to develop once.
The county magistrate immediately asked Gong Cao to arrange a banquet, he wanted to pick up the wind and wash the dust for several young ladies and gentlemen, and any one of these people was the descendant of the minister of the humerus, and he couldn't slack off. Yuan Hong and Wan Qi Bilong saw that Li Yuan and Yang Jian had delicious wine and food at night, so they didn't want to go back to eat cold noodles, and wanted to follow along with the rice and tooth sacrifice. The county magistrate saw that the two of them were dressed (they hadn't taken a bath since they met today, and they didn't have any clothes to change) had a bit of a beggar disciple's taste, so he asked Li Yuan: "Master, these two are your friends?" ā
Li Yuan was also a little embarrassed when he looked at him, but this time he couldn't say that he was the son of King Guangling, so he said embarrassedly: "That's right, these two are homeless people we picked up on the street, if it's convenient, please let them have a light meal together at night?" The county magistrate frowned when he heard this, and seemed a little unhappy, and then the old housekeeper spoke: "Since these two are friends of the young lady and the two young aunts, then don't let them have a light meal together, and it won't get in the way." "Actually, the old housekeeper knew Yuan Hong, and he could see him at a glance, but Li Yuan didn't open his mouth, and the old man thought that there might be something here, so he didn't say it.
The county magistrate saw that Lord Thorn Shi's housekeeper had spoken, how dare he disobey, so he agreed, which made Yuan Hong very happy, and the beauty even had snot bubbles coming out. Thinking that half a month ago, he was still in Chang'an City, and he was calling for wind and rain, and he wanted to eat whatever he wanted. But life is so full of changes, and now if you give him a roast chicken, he thinks it is delicious, just like dragon liver and gall.
In the evening, the group happily had a big meal in the backyard of the county government, in fact, before this, Li Yuan, Yang Jian and the Dugu sisters were also clear soup and little water in the county government, and they didn't eat any good food and vegetables, because their identities had not been determined at that time, and it would be good to have noodles to eat. Now it's different, the old housekeeper will stay here for one night tonight, and he will take them back to Anding to meet Dugu Xin early tomorrow morning, this identity has been completely figured out, and the county official dares to spend money to entertain distinguished guests, he wants to follow him in person tomorrow in the name of Miss Protector to settle down and ask for rewards.
Yang Jian and Li Yuan both understand these things, they don't blame him, the world is hot and cold, people are warm and cold, this person is originally like this, the so-called people come to the bustle for profit, and people come to the bustle for profit. There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no official who does not want to be promoted and make a fortune, they have seen a lot of intrigue in the officialdom in Chang'an, and even think that the county officials have a good personality, of course, this is only relative.
The whole banquet belongs to Yuan Hong and Wan Qi Bilong's master and servant, one is like a starving ghost reincarnated, one is like a big stomach king in the world, one is a race against time, vowing to sweep the table, the other is arrogant, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of others, and they sat at a table A few guests have left the table to avoid it, and they can't eat at all, as soon as the dish is on the table, it is wrapped up by the master and servant, and the exaggerated eating appearance climbs up to the table, and it is almost licking the plate.
This scene is really miserable, the county official is very curious, and asked Li Yuan with a smile: "These two friends of the son are very heroic and very personable, and they will be quite capable characters in the future." On the surface, these words are complimentary, but there is a strong flavor of irony and ridicule. Li Yuan couldn't hear it, but no matter how bad Yuan Hong was, he was also his friend, the son of the King of Guangling, and it was not your little county commander who could judge at will, so he replied: "What the county commander said is that after this son goes back, my father will let him be the county governor, and that bodyguard can assist in the management as the county Sima." ā
The county commander almost crooked his nose when he heard it, what do you call this, I have been in Zhengning County for almost ten years, but I have been sitting in the county official seat and have never moved the nest. You look at the beggars because you know the magnates of the dynasty, and they suddenly soared, and they jumped directly from the identity of a commoner to the Taishou of a county, is there still a place to reason? The county commander looked at Yuan Hong with an embarrassed smile on his face, and his heart was itching with hatred.
That night, the old housekeeper asked the county magistrate to arrange the accommodation of several people, and then came to Li Yuan's house, and at this time, the five people in the house were there, and only Wan Qi Bilong said that he had eaten too much and ran to the toilet. The old housekeeper looked at a few of them and nodded: "You finally came back from the capital safe and sound, the lord didn't believe it, so he sent me to see if it was true or not, this time he thought too much." The old man was very happy to see you together. Saying that, he lowered his head and wiped his tears, Yang Jian couldn't see this the most, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "It's okay, old housekeeper, aren't we back well?" I'd love to know how you managed to get back to Fenzhou in the first place. ā
The old housekeeper raised his head when he heard the words and said: "Hey, I won't tell you, the old man fled back to Fenzhou from Chang'an at that time, and it was also a game of nine deaths and a lifetime on the way, and he almost died halfway through. Li Yuan said that when the old housekeeper talked about the escape, he instantly felt as if he was more than ten years old, so he comforted: "Presumably you have also experienced ups and downs, forget it, let's not mention those unhappy days." ā
Dugu Yan also said: "That's it, let's talk about something happy, when I return home this time, I will prepare the most sumptuous meal for you, and treat the two of you well." Saying that, he patted Li Yuan's shoulder, like a big sister, Li Yuan has nothing to do with his prospective daughter-in-law now, Yang Jian is secretly having fun on the side. Dugu Linglong stepped forward and asked ill-intentionedly, "What are you laughing at?" Say! Yang Jian was paralyzed on the spot. (To be continued.) )
