Chapter 3: A Chance Encounter with the Winged King
Time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year. But in addition, every festival is also a good time to usher in the send-off, pull relationships, find a way, seek promotion, and seek wealth. No, the whole Nanjing city officials are as prominent as the loach crossing the river, you come and go, busy is very happy, a group of singing and dancing to promote the scene, completely forget, at this moment the whole country has been divided between the north and the south, there are strong enemies outside, it can be said that it is internal and external troubles, this is the autumn of critical survival.
Hong Zhengyan's mansion is not exempt from vulgarity, although it has played a sign refusing to visit very early, but those people, just think that this is a show, people come, gifts are given. No, in just one morning, the gifts from all walks of life can fill two large rooms, and it seems that by the end of the day, all the gifts are really going to pile up. Thinking of these gifts in exchange for people's fat and people's ointment lying there in various ways and for various reasons, although Huang Xu was not born in this era, he was also indescribably disgusted, so he pretended to be sick early in the morning, hid in the room and slept a lot, out of sight and out of mind. And the party Hong Zhengyan is even more miserable, laughing and laughing from morning to night, his face hurts, and his mouth hurts. It seems that there should be no more torturous thing in the world than receiving gifts, in short, it is physically and mentally exhausting.
finally sent away this uncle, washed up simply, and then called the personal Yahuan Xiaoqian, and told her to invite Huang Xu to the right wing, and arranged for someone to make a pot on the haode Longjing, waiting for Huang Xu to arrive. Huang Xu, who was immersed in pretending to sleep, heard someone knocking on the door, hurriedly got up and opened the door, and saw that it was Hong Zhengyan's personal maid Xiaoqian, so he asked what was the matter, and Xiaoqian said that it was Miss Huang Gongzi to the next room to talk about it. Huang Xu didn't dare to slack off, dressed neatly and went to meet Hong Zhengyan with Xiaoqian.
It didn't take long for the right wing room to arrive, and Xiao Qian said at the door: "Miss Qiyu, Huang Gongzi bring.'" Please Huang Gongzi come in', gently pushed open the door, under the leadership of Xiao Qian, Huang Xu came to the middle of the wing, carefully looked at this wing, the layout is elegant and chic, people feel very quiet as soon as they come in, it is indeed a good place. Huang Xu looked at the seat of Xiangshang's head, Miss Hong had already sat quietly and waited, "Huang Xu has seen Miss Hong" Huang Xu bowed slightly. "Huang Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, please sit down" After Huang Xu sat down, Hong Zhengyan continued, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, thousands of lights are lit, families are reunited, and Huang Gongzi is in our foreign land, and it is also a big regret in the world to not be able to go home to reunite with his parents and family. "Miss is really a caring person, how can Huang be so loved, Miss has the grace of saving her life in the front, the grace of taking in the back, she has been cared for at ordinary times, and now she is even more cared for, Huang is even more difficult to repay Miss for her kindness even if she dies" Huang Xu is indeed grateful to this woman for everything she has done during this time, although the words are a bit exaggerated, but the gratitude cannot be erased.' Childe's words are serious, the first time I saw the face of the child, I have always felt very cordial, and recently the son has been accompanying Yan'er in the house to sing poems and paint, looking at the general trend of the world, Yan'er feels that she has never been so satisfied, it is Yan'er who should thank the child" "Miss Hong" Huang Xu still wanted to be humble, Miss Hong suddenly interrupted Huang Xu's words and said: "Huang Gongzi, please don't see outside, please call me Yan'er directly." "Then what's the matter, Miss has a noble status, Huang Xu doesn't dare to call her by her name" "That's good, Huang Gongzi should be older than me, I call Huang Gongzi Brother Huang, then Brother Huang can call me Yan'er" What a smart little girl, "Then I won't postpone it anymore, Yan'er" "Brother Huang", Hong Zhengyan shouted happily, it seems that he was born like this Huang Xu, not to mention how smooth it is. In this way, the relationship between the two sides became much closer, and then, they gossiped from all over the world, and from time to time they recited a few words of poetry to each other, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
Halfway through the words, Hong Zhengyan suddenly asked, "From the moment I saw Brother Huang, I felt that Brother Huang was a person with big ambitions, with all due respect, what are the plans for the future of the eldest brother", Huang Xu knew that one day she would have this question, so he answered truthfully, "The eldest brother hasn't thought about it yet, the eldest brother is not familiar with the life here, how can he have any plans, he can only cross the river by feeling the stones, take a step, count it as a step" "If the eldest brother has a heart, I am willing to thread the needle for you and introduce you to a big man" "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be really not simple, I also know big people", "Of course, your sister and I are Hong Zhengyan" "Then the big brother thanked me first, I have to think about it first, and when I think about it, I will tell Yan'er again." "No problem, it's on me", Huang Xu has vaguely guessed his identity after this period of contact and life in Hong Zhengyan's mansion, but he has not dared to confirm it. If you really guess correctly, then you have to think of a good countermeasure, because one wrong step will be a wrong step, in this troubled world, one is not good, let alone to realize your ambitions, I am afraid that even this little life has to be accompanied. You have to think twice.
"Miss, Lord Yi is here, waiting for Miss in the front hall" Xiao Qian's sudden voice interrupted Huang Xu's contemplation. "What, Uncle Yi is here, then I'll go see him immediately" Hong Zhengyan called happily, and said to Huang Xu apologetically, "I have a guest here, I can't accompany you, I'll talk about it later, you have to have a good rest", and then hurriedly took Xiaoqian to the front hall. At this moment, Huang Xu was even more sure that his judgment was correct, Hong Zhengyan should be from the Heavenly King's Mansion, and he must have something to do with Hong Xiuquan, so this Wing King should be Shi Dakai. Thinking of this, Huang Xu couldn't help but be a little excited, Shi Dakai was his idol, and he once beat the invincible Zeng Guofan, and almost committed suicide to apologize. But at the same time, I also feel sorry for him, because such a heroic figure was born at the wrong time, and Zuihou was killed by the Dadu River, which is really a pity. But when he thought that the real Shi Dakai was in the front hall, he couldn't help but feel worried, and at the same time, his feet didn't obey the call to move to the front hall.
