Chapter 18: The Father and the Son
By the time Wang Lang got home, it was already afternoon. As soon as Wang Lang entered the door, he saw the old servant Wang Fu standing at the door, and Wang Lang couldn't help asking
"Uncle Fu, why are you here?"
Wang Fu was overjoyed to see Wang Lang come back and said
"Second young master, go to the master's study with the old slave, the master and the eldest young master have been waiting for the second young master for a morning."
Wang Lang followed Wang Fu to Wang Gui's study, and Wang Lang saw his eldest brother and the old man sitting there with a frown. And to Wang Lang's surprise, his wife was also there. The worried look on his face made Wang Lang's heart warm.
"Dad, mother, big brother, I'm back."
Wang Gui heard Wang Lang's voice, and when he saw Wang Lang coming back safely, his tight brows also expanded. Obviously, there is a lot of peace of mind. At least his son is fine. His eldest brother also looked at him happily. The only one who came running was Mrs. Wang. Ran to Wang Lang's side, looked left and right, and asked with concern
"Fang'er, Your Majesty didn't embarrass you."
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Don't worry, mother, Your Majesty is looking for me to be an official."
Mrs. Wang asked puzzled
"Your Majesty is so good, why should you be an official? You haven't contributed to the court. ”
Wang Lang said with a smile
"It's not your son and me, tall and mighty, handsome and chic, graceful, a pear flower pressed begonia, known as the jade-faced little flying dragon"
"That's enough."
Wang Guiyi slapped the table and interrupted Wang Lang's boasting. But the smile in his eyes showed that the old man was not angry. Mrs. Wang glared at Wang Gui and said
"Fang'er, don't be afraid of this old thing. If your father dares to beat you, my mother will let your father sleep in the study for a month. ”
His eldest brother was on the side, and he didn't hold his expression until he was glared at by the old man, but the shrugged shoulders showed that the eldest brother was really happy by what his mother said.
Wang Gui glanced at his wife helplessly and said
"Madam, let's go cook a few dishes, I'll have some drinks with Wei Zhou and Wei Fang tonight."
Mrs. Wang gave Wang Gui a blank look and turned around and went out. Wang Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Lang
"Fang'er, today you also know Your Majesty's identity, tell me what you and Your Majesty have said, what official has Your Majesty named you?"
Wang Lang told Wang Gui about today's events with the emperor and the emperor. Of course, Wang Lang pretended to be stupid, of course he didn't say it. After hearing this, Wang Gui frowned and nodded and said
"For the Father knows, go, go to eat first. There are some things to talk about tomorrow. ”
Wang Weizhou and Wang Lang walked behind, and Wang Weizhou stabbed Wang Lang with his hand and said
"Brother, you're okay, you'll be promoted to the third grade directly."
Wang Lang whispered
"Big brother, in fact, I really don't want this grade. It's also a hassle to ask for it. Our dad is already a first product, you are the fourth product, and I will have a third product. It is estimated that the court will have to fry the pot. ”
Wang Weizhou thought about it, and it was the same reason. Said
"Then what should I do, Your Majesty's holy decree has come down."
Wang Lang said
"Dad should have a way. We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
The next morning, Wang Gui called Wang Lang into the study and said
"Fang'er, this morning His Majesty appointed you as a member of the three grades, and the secret agents of the Great Inner Department were all in charge, and I refused for my father's help. Do you complain about your father? ”
Wang Lang listened to the old man's words, was stunned, thought about it and said
"No complaints."
Wang Gui asked curiously
"Why?"
Wang Lang said
"Actually, this official position was also given to me by His Majesty when he drove ducks to the shelves. Not my will. That's the first point. The second point is that my father definitely didn't want me to be hurt by doing this. Otherwise, I will not refuse His Majesty's kindness. ”
Wang Gui nodded and said with satisfaction
"Fang'er, if only you could think so. As a father, I am also afraid that you will sit in a high position at a young age and be attacked. And then your political acumen is really, no. As a father, I'm really afraid that you are young and vigorous and have done something wrong. ”
Wang Lang said with a smile
"Daddy, don't worry, the child knows."
Wang Gui nodded with satisfaction and said
"However, Your Majesty did not take back your official position, but only temporarily canceled your rank of the third rank and retained your official position as the commander of the secret agent of the Great Inner Secret. Uncle Guo originally wanted to directly change your official position. Replace it with Uncle Guo's own person. Do you know that your official position is very popular? Being directly responsible to His Majesty is equivalent to His Majesty's close ministers. You should understand what a father is trying to say. ”
Wang Lang nodded and said
"The child knows."
In fact, the loss of grade is more in line with Wang Lang's mind. Then Wang Gui took out a box and said to Wang Lang
"Fang'er, this is what Your Majesty asked me to pass on to you. What's inside this box? ”
Wang Lang said happily with the box
"Dad, inside this box is a token given by His Majesty, the secret order of the Great Inner Secret Agent."
Wang Gui nodded and said
"Okay, you'll go to the Golden Chan Temple in a moment. At the end of each year, there are senior monks preaching in Jinchan Temple. Although the Jinchan Temple has lost the title of the national temple, but this custom will not change, today is the day of the monk's preaching, you also go out for a walk, see. ”
Wang Lang listened to his old man's words and went straight to Jinchan Temple at noon, and the secret order of the big inner spy was also kicked in Wang Lang's arms in case of emergency. As soon as Wang Lang arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he saw that the mountain road was full of people, not one thousand, but eight hundred. Wang Lang instantly plunged into the vast sea of the people. Wang Lang, who was fighting in the sea, occasionally raised his head to see if the direction was right, and when he looked up at the road, he found two familiar figures, and saw these two figures Wang Lang was happy
"Isn't this the two Xibei goods? Rushing to join in the fun today? ”
So Wang Lang didn't care about the angry eyes of the people around him, and squeezed over directly. A brain melted into the head of a little scholar. The little scholar was beaten and first covered his head, and then turned back to see which bold guy dared to hit her on the head. The little scholar turned his head and saw Wang Lang looking at him with a smile, the little scholar was stunned for a while, and then angry. The little scholar who was pulling the little scholar felt that the little scholar was not leaving, and looked back in confusion, but he also saw Wang Lang at the same time. was also stunned for a moment, and then nodded at Wang Lang with a shy smile. The little scholar said angrily to Wang Lang
"Why did you hit me?"
The little scholar looked at his scholar and Wang Lang suspiciously, not knowing what had happened. Wang Lang spread his hands and said innocently
"No, which eye did you see me hitting you?"
The little book's childish man and the two of them were red and said loudly
"A manly man, why don't you dare to be a man."
Wang Lang said innocently
"You forgot, I'm a gentleman."
"Poof"
The little scholar laughed unconsciously. She was really amused by Wang Lang's expression. The little scholar looked at the little scholar aggrievedly and said
"Gong, Gongzi, you are still laughing. He bullied me. ”
The little scholar quickly stopped smiling and comforted
"Don't laugh, don't laugh."
The three of them stood in the middle of the road for a while, and there was a large army going up the mountain behind them, and someone couldn't help but ask loudly if the three of them could not leave. Wang Lang hurriedly arched his hand to the back to make amends, and pulled the little scholar and the little scholar one by one and walked towards the mountain, the little scholar and the little scholar were suddenly startled by Wang Lang's grab, and they also wanted to struggle, but Wang Lang's hand was like iron tongs, and he couldn't break free. Immediately, the two of them were pulled by Wang Lang with red faces.
In this era when men and women don't kiss, doesn't Wang Lang know this truth? First of all, I knew. But why do you do it? Wang Lang explained afterwards
"I forgot."
Obviously, this answer was not believed by the parties. On the contrary, it was despised for a long time.
