Chapter 9: The Flying Godfather
Wang Chun stood in place and waited for Yang Hao to get out of the car before he stepped forward to salute, Yang Hao pretended to be surprised and said: "Father-in-law Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, which gust of wind blew you." Wang Chun squinted his eyes and smiled: "Our family is returning to our hometown to worship our ancestors, and we will come by the way to ask our parents to say goodbye." Yang Hao was secretly shocked: Wang Chun's ancestral home is actually in Fengzhou, the matter suddenly came too late to verify, so he could only follow his meaning and said: "Yang is ashamed, he didn't know that his father-in-law's ancestral tomb was in Fengzhou, and he was ashamed, ashamed, ashamed." ”
"General Yang doesn't have to blame himself, the ancestral grave of the Wang family has long been lost in the yellow sand and withered grass, and our family has tried hard to find it, so I have to rely on the memory of my childhood to sacrifice to the ground, I, the unfilial descendant of the Wang family."
Wang Chun stomped his feet and wiped his tears, his sadness was beyond words,
Yang Hao comforted: "Father-in-law don't be sad, I asked the local garrison to find it, and I will definitely be able to find it." ”
Wang Chun said with tears in his eyes: "If you can do this, you are my benefactor, and you will be worshiped by our family three times." Regardless of Yang Hao's obstruction, he bowed three times,
At this moment, Lu Rui also got out of the car and quietly asked Mu Lanqing: "Who is this person." ”
Mu Lanqing told her that Wang Chun was the chief eunuch in the palace, Lu Rui looked surprised, and blurted out: "It turns out that this is a eunuch, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms." ”
A gust of wind blew these words into Wang Chun's ears, Wang Chun turned around and smiled: "Let Madame laugh, we eunuchs are ordinary slaves, where are we three heads and six arms." Lu Rui was embarrassed, Yang Hao was also a little crying and laughing, but Wang Chun didn't mind generously, Lu Rui saw that he spoke casually, so he added a good impression, and turned around to reproach Mu Lanqing and said: "Your guests are here, why don't you bring in tea." ”
Mu Lanqing was about to explain, but Wang Chun preemptively said: "If you don't do what Mu Shu does, our family will wait here, in order to see General Yang as soon as possible." ”
Introducing the Defense Embassy, Wang Chun looked around and said: "We have also been to some of the state capitals in the world, and the general's office, if not the most shabby, is still downstream. ”
Yang Hao said: "Fengzhou is a border land, and after repeated wars, people's livelihood is difficult, so it has to be simplified because of ugliness. ”
Wang Chun sneered, narrowed his eyes and said: "Half a month ago, our family went out of Chang'an to Yongfeng, along the way, it was more and more desolate, and after entering Fengzhou, I felt that I was alive, and the people's livelihood was not as rich as the Guannei, but it was not as difficult as you said, for the parents and officials, they knew how to sympathize with the difficulties of the people and restrain their own desires, which was a good thing, but the general wanted to flicker his words, which shows that the officials of the country and the dynasty are very corrupt, and they dare not speak out if the officials are honest. ”
Yang Hao was shocked in his heart, Wang Chun's words were very insightful, and his courage was even greater, it was an indisputable fact that the Tang Dynasty officials ruled **, for one term of office, scraping the ground, sucking the people's fat and ointment such as drinking porridge and tea, in addition, during his tenure, the use of public funds to build buildings and buildings has become a common practice.
Although Feng'an is a small border town, the original Thorn History Mansion and the county government also have hundreds of houses, but because of lack of money to spend, they were all dismantled and sold by Yang Hao.
After sitting down to watch the tea, Wang Chun asked: "It is rumored that Miss Yingying, the orphan of Gong Zhang, is in the house, can you please come and talk about it." ”
Wang Chun suddenly mentioned Zhang Yingying, which made Yang Hao feel a little surprised, so he asked, "Does my father-in-law know Yingying?" Wang Chun smiled and said, "Not only do I know, she is still my goddaughter." ”
"Goddaughter." Yang Hao and Lu Rui called out almost at the same time,
Lu Rui asked suspiciously, "But I've never heard her mention it." ”
Wang Chun blushed and said: "It's my godfather who has no ability, although he recognized this goddaughter, but he can't take care of her all the time, Zhang Gong has passed away for more than half a year, and our family has a chance to come out to see her, such a godfather, it's better not to have it." ”
Although Wang Chun's reason is a bit far-fetched, it can still be justified, after all, the eunuchs in the palace are not as good as the officials in the court, and they are not able to take care of her if they are confined in the palace with strict rules.
"Mu Lanqing, go and call the warbler." Lu Rui spoke, Mu Lanqing didn't dare not move, he moved slowly out of broken steps, but the corner of his eye was looking at Yang Hao, maybe he would have further instructions, but Yang Hao was expressionless, without the slightest response, Lu Rui asked Wang Chun with interest: "Why are you father-in-law and daughter, don't you say that after entering the palace, someone will take care of life, old age, sickness and death." ”
Wang Chun sighed and said: "Although we are people who have broken roots, but some things are not clean, who does not look forward to having children under their knees to accept joy, shh, Allowing the slave maid to set up a courtyard to live alone, it happened that Zhang Gong encountered misfortune again, so the princess sent a message to allow the slave and maid to take Miss Yingying to the house, so that each other can rely on it. ”
After going around such a big circle, Yang Hao finally understood the true purpose of Wang Chun's trip, he wanted to use Zhang Yingying's line to draw himself to King Ying, at least he could separate himself from King Guang, as for whether he really recognized Zhang Yingying as his goddaughter, Zhang Huchen and his wife are dead, I am afraid that it is a confused account that will never be clarified,
Yang Hao admits that Wang Chun's strategy is more clever than Tang Ning's naked/naked coercion, but the question is, will Zhang Yingying go with him, she is ten years old, she has her own ideas, will she go with a person she is not familiar with, as long as she says she is unwilling, Wang Chun has no reason to force her, if she can't take Zhang Yingying away, his plan will fail, he worked hard to come to Feng'an, and he didn't hesitate to make up so many lies just for a task that has no hope of being completed,
Yang Hao faintly felt that this matter would not be as simple as he thought,
Mu Lanqing led a girl in a pink silk skirt and walked in, with black hair in a black bun, bright eyes, fair skin, full cheeks, a silk skirt cut very decently, both Tingting's graceful and graceful waist, which is the black, thin and shy ten-year-old girl in Yang Hao's impression, this is clearly a shy flower and bones, I haven't seen it for three months, but there has been a reborn change,
"Godfather......" Zhang Yingying called affectionately, and immediately threw herself into Wang Chun's arms,
Yang Hao looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and Mu Lanqing was also dumbfounded, when Lu Rui asked him to find Zhang Yingying, Yang Hao didn't react to his gaze and asked, but Mu Lanqing felt that Yang Hao didn't believe that what Wang Chun said was true, so it was necessary for him to ask Zhang Yingying for verification in person, if it was false, he would try to prevent Zhang Yingying from seeing Wang Chun, so as to come up with any countermeasures,
Zhang Yingying privately called him Brother Mu, Mu Lanqing thought that he was more comfortable with this sister who was six or seven years younger than herself, when he told Zhang Yingying that her godfather Wang Chun wanted to see her, Zhang Yingying was actually cheering, showing extreme excitement, at that time she was still cutting flowers in the back garden, in order to see Wang Chun, she deliberately went back and put on a favorite silk skirt,
The touching scene of the father and daughter hugging their heads and crying deeply touched Lu Rui, and while wiping her tears, she said to Mu Lanqing: "Go and prepare a table of banquets, and tell Miss Qing and Miss Yu that there are distinguished guests at home, let's have a good time." Yang Hao said something else: "Let Zhu Qi come over." ”
Zhang Yingying was crying with tears on her face, Yang Hao motioned to Lu Rui to pull her away, and asked, "Your godfather wants to take you back to Chang'an, are you willing to follow." Zhang Yingying knelt down for Yang Hao with tears, kowtowed and said, "Thank you uncle for taking care of me for such a long time, Yingying will never forget." Hearing her words, Yang Hao knew that she had made up her mind, in fact, from the moment she entered the door, Yang Hao had a premonition that this would be the result, but when she really said it, it still made him feel a little inexplicably melancholy,
Counting this time, Yang Hao and her have met twice, and the words she has said add up to only ten sentences, she is still a child, calling herself an uncle, and the age difference between them is nearly doubled, Yang Hao really can't understand why he has such a strange feeling,
When he bent down to help her up, he felt that Zhang Yingying's hand was cold, which was in stark contrast to her crying red face, could it be that she had some ulterior secret in her heart, Yang Hao looked at her with encouraging eyes, hoping to get an answer from her, but Zhang Yingying avoided his gaze, she gently pushed Yang Hao's hand away and stood beside Lu Rui,
Lu Rui held her shoulder and said, "It's rare for your father and daughter to recognize each other, we have to get together and let everyone get together in this celebration." ”
After saying so many things, Yang Hao felt that Lu Rui's sentence was still a little reliable,
He said to Wang Chun: "It's rare to have a chance to come to Fengzhou, so I can stay for a few more days, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Wang Chun arched his hand and smiled: "The general is full of intentions, our family can only understand it, His Royal Highness only allows our family a month off, and there are ten days left, so I don't dare to delay any longer, but our family still has to get drunk with him today." ”
At that moment, Zhang Yingying led Wang Chun, accompanied by Lu Rui and Mu Lanqing, to see Master Guan, Zhang Yingying has been taken care of by him since Zhang Huchen was killed, and if he wants to take her away at this moment, he should ask for his consent in love and courtesy.
As soon as everyone left, Zhu Qi walked in, these days he was busy in the subordinate counties of Fengzhou and the branch of the Tiande Army to guide the establishment of the inner temple, the wind and rain, the person looked thinner and darker than before, but his eyes were still bright,
Yang Hao didn't go around in circles and asked directly: "Do you know about Wang Chun's visit to Fengzhou?" ”
Zhu Qi shook his head: "My subordinates also just learned that this person is not easy to see the head and the tail." ”
"Ask if anyone has been in contact with Miss Yingying in the recent past, and I will ask for the list after dinner."
Zhu Qi frowned: "My lord, Master Guan's residence is not within the monitoring range of the inner temple, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find out for a while." ”
Yang Hao has nothing to say, it is up to him to decide who to monitor and who not to monitor in the inner temple, and he can't complain about others.
"It's a big deal, let's try our best......" Yang Hao didn't have any confidence in what he said.
