Chapter 100: Family
Zhang Ping opened his eyes and saw two small firefighters standing in front of him.
"Grandpa, you're dreaming!"
One of the older Lesser Flamemakers handed him a piece of paper.
"Grandpa, this is sent by General Guo Xiaoyi, let you forward it to the emperor."
The other took hot water from the furnace next to him and wrung a hot towel and handed it to Zhang Ping, who took the towel and wiped it on his face, only to know that he had another nightmare.
He took the piece of paper, and there were only a few strokes on it:
Cheng Ye has returned, the mutual market has been completed, and the minister Guo Xiaoyi.
He silently waved his hand to let the two small firefighters retreat, exhaled heavily, and looked at the dormitory outside the duty room:
"I thought it was a melon seedling that was easy to fiddle with, but who knew that it could do this."
Collecting his clothes, picking up the dust and shaking it off, Zhang Ping knocked softly on the door of the dormitory:
"Your Majesty, there is good news from the palace guards!"
There was a light cough from inside, followed by Yuan Zheng's voice, come in.
Walking out of the dormitory, Zhang Ping still had a happy smile on his face, and he said to the little fireman beside him: Guard for me first, and I'll come when I go.
The little fireman bowed his head in response, and Zhang Ping lost his smile the moment he turned his face.
He quickly walked into the cubicle in the courtyard of the duty room, and the door was unexpectedly hidden.
Zhang Ping pushed open the door and walked into the room, kicking the person on the bed hard.
"Still sleeping, little bunny."
Cui Xi jumped up from the couch at once, hugged his head and begged for mercy, and called Master again and again.
Zhang Ping sighed and shook a roll of paper in his hand in front of his eyes:
"Well, pass the news on to that person."
*****************
Cheng Ye jumped over the wall and first entered through the secret door to see Fei Minghe, and after reporting the situation of the mission in Tuxilu, he sneaked into Sanhui Hall to see his grandmother.
Mrs. Wei had already fallen asleep, and it was not trivial for him to go in, and Chi's mother and Yahuan, who were on duty at night, were taken aback.
Cheng Ye was reluctant to wake up his grandmother, so he carefully looked at the sleeping Mrs. Wei by candlelight, and was tired of being by the couch for half an hour.
Seeing this situation, Chi's mother couldn't do it, so she had to make a bed in the pear blossom cupboard for a while, and let him rest in the old lady's room.
A good night's sleep.
It wasn't until his grandmother's voice faintly sounded in his ears that Cheng Ye woke up.
"Ahh......h
"It seems that I have grown taller, and I have grown taller all of a sudden......"
"It's more handsome, see if it's ......"
Cheng Ye was startled when he opened his eyes.
There were more than a dozen people standing in front of the bed, and Mrs. Wei sat beside him, and behind her, in addition to Chi's mother, there were also Nuan Qing, Cuiyi, and the girls in the house.
The old and young women in the Wei Mansion looked around him, smiling from ear to ear, and some of them were actually laughing while wiping their eyes with a handkerchief.
"It's almost gone, Brother Ye is scared."
Mrs. Wei waved her hand at a group of female dependents, and only Nuan Qing, Cuiyi and Chi's mother were left in the room, and then she turned her head to Cheng Ye and said:
"Don't go wash yet, look at this dirty body, it's all a wild boy on the street."
Cheng Ye smiled, and he was not afraid of being teased, so he rubbed his face on his grandmother's knee.
I listened to a few people chattering about finding a tailor to make new clothes for him, from fabrics to colors, and from styles to quantities.
Cheng Ye only smiled and listened, and did not interject.
Family members are like this, no matter how far away they go out and how big things they do, they only care about themselves as a person and worry about the most trivial and ordinary things for themselves.
Chi's mother instructed someone to serve Cheng Ye to bathe and wash, and gave him all kinds of breakfast.
When he stroked his stomach and stretched out of Sanhui Hall, he had already handed it over.
Cuiyi led a young girl with a face to visit, Cheng Ye was teasing the green-billed parrot brother under the porch, and asked casually:
"Who is this sister?"
Without waiting for Cui Yi to answer, the girl snorted coldly and said:
"Second master, when you return home, you look like such a young master who is making fun of birds in the town."
This voice was too familiar, Cheng Ye couldn't help but raise his head and look at the girl in front of him again, the corners of his mouth hooked, but he said slightly:
"It turns out that the boy has become Miss Han."
Seeing that Xiao Yuyi was stunned, he seemed to be about to come forward to fight, and hurriedly took a few steps back:
"Now that Ah Xiao is here, I still have important things to hand over to you, this dress is not good."
At this time, a steward stood outside the weeping flower door and bowed and said:
"Young master, young master, there is a father-in-law in the palace."
Cheng Ye beckoned to Xiao Yuyi, and gave a few words in her ear, and then followed the steward out.
Cui Xigang took the purse given by the steward of the Wei Mansion and touched the weight in his hand.
When he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and realized that he had not seen him for two months, and the young man in front of him was more than a foot high, and his eyes were shining with brilliance, but looking deeper was more peaceful and deep.
The young man bowed and smiled at him: "I like my father-in-law to work hard, but what is the emperor's business?" ”
Cui Xi held back the slight stinging pain in his eyes and bowed:
"The villain can't be a father-in-law, so Master Wei will call me Xiaoxizi. It was the emperor who asked you to meet and ordered the villain to pick you up at the house. ”
Although Cheng Ye was puzzled in his heart, of course he didn't show anything on his face.
also asked Cui Xi to pick him up, where to meet and what to do.
Cheng Ye took a purse in his own hand and put it in Cui Xi's hand before saying:
"Why did the emperor come to meet me, but what do you need to prepare?"
Cui Xi took the purse and gave a humble salute.
According to common sense, the internal supervisor in the palace is a respectful guest to the official's house, and there is no need to be so humble and frequently saluted.
Cui Xi is so polite because Wei Chengye is the emperor's most trusted person, and he himself deliberately wants to leave a good impression in front of this person and release his good intentions in order to win over friends.
What's more, even if they have any face, it is also the big eunuchs with status such as Zhang Ping and Qiao Gongshan who have face. He Cui Xi is an errand runner with the likes of the slightest, what is there to hold on to in front of these nobles?
Among the people standing on the side, a few young and bold people raised their eyes to look at Cui Xi's expression, and their faces also showed smugness.
"The emperor specially ordered the carriage to wait outside the door, and Lord Wei didn't have to prepare anything."
This is rare, the emperor wants to see people, and specially prepared a carriage to pick him up.
Although the subordinates of the Wei Mansion were accustomed to seeing the royal favor, they couldn't help but straighten their waists when they heard this.
The relationship between the emperor and his second master is really extraordinary.
The carriage parked at the door was an extremely ordinary flat-topped gray tweed carriage, and the people driving the carriage were all ordinary people, but Cheng Ye knew that these people were palace guards.
He turned his head again to look at Cui Xi, who was dressed in an inner prison uniform, and he really didn't know why the emperor made such an arrangement today.
The young master who served his own family got into the car, and the steward watched the carriage move westward, and several subordinates at the door also opened a chatterbox.
"This little father-in-law is really good at being a man......"
"It seems that our young master has made a great contribution to the west this time."
"Tsk, at such a young age, the emperor is so valued, and I am afraid that the official I will be older than my uncle and uncle in the future......"
"Steward Tong, what did you say?"
One of the little servants ran up to the boy steward and said jokingly.
Syllable.
The boy steward had a gloomy face, and without saying a word, he slapped him first.
The steward of the military general's family, even if he is not a practitioner, is heavier than the steward of an ordinary large family.
The beaten little guy was on one side of his face swollen, covering his hot cheeks, and Venus splashed in front of him.
"In the future, who will be so disrespectful, underestimate the nobles from the palace, chew the root of the tongue about the master's affairs, and Lao Tzu will sell it to the old lady."
His words were so fierce that he immediately frightened the chattering subordinates, and the boy steward glanced at them, but he was satisfied with this result.
Someone behind him gasped, and the Tong steward also heard it, and turned around to see a subordinate who had just followed Miss Jiang out of the house.
When the man saw the boy steward looking at him, he unconsciously took a few steps back:
She ...... Her troubles are none of my business! ”
