Chapter 186: Loosen your mouth
The next day, Chang Qianfo got up on the fourth watch, went to fill the hall to prioritize the affairs to be dealt with in the morning, and picked the most important things first.
Pick up the lamp to the east of the white, look at the drip, it's almost time, get up and go to Hopson Hall to eat.
Chang Huaiyu and Chang Suyi were there, and when they saw Chang Qianfo coming in, they were very happy and beckoned him to come and sit together.
Fauber went to the kitchen and brought out another bowl of noodles.
Chang Jihai eats simply here, and his usual hot vegetables are porridge, and Chang Huaiyu also eats the same. Suyi is young, and he still has to grow his body, and there is meat in the noodles.
Chang Qianfo's large bowl of noodles is extraordinarily large, in addition to beef and vegetables, but also added a poached egg.
"Look at this kid tired." Fauber said with a smile.
Chang Huaiyu couldn't help but complain about Chang Jihai: "If you want to beat the little Buddha, you should also have a weight." How long has it been since this, there are so many people in the fort, and the big and small things are on him alone, don't you feel sorry for your grandson? β
Chang Jihai snorted and ate porridge.
He has always pursued the principle of "eating without saying anything, sleeping without speaking", and he will not pay attention to people when eating.
Chang Huaiyu angrily knocked the plate in front of him twice.
The plain clothes probe looked at the red bloodshot in Chang Qianfo's eyes, and called: "Brother."
Chang Qianfo smiled and touched Suyi's head: "It's okay, eat quickly." β
Chang Jihai doesn't like to be too full, he eats many meals a day, and he doesn't eat much at every meal, so he first put down his chopsticks, took out a cotton handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and Fu Bo handed over the mouthwash tea.
"Young man, forge more." The old man said lightly, picked up the thorny wooden staff in his hand, and went out for a walk as usual.
Chang Qianfo hurriedly took a few bites of the remaining noodles in the bowl and said, "Third aunt Suyi Fubo, I've eaten well." And he chased him out.
The scenery is withered in late autumn, and the wood falls and the mountain is thin.
The grandfather and grandson climbed the mountain road one after the other, sparse the trees and picked up the leaves on the wind steps, which had a cool autumn meaning.
Chang Jihai's back is rickety, but he walks fast, and when he takes a cane on the stone steps, he takes a big step up with his strength. When standing on the top rock with a cane to see the scenery, Chang Qianfo is still a long way from reaching the top.
- There is frost on the slate in the autumn morning, and it is slippery feet.
There are ready-made teapots and stoves in the pavilion on the mountain, and Chang Qianfo has drawn mountain spring water to make tea.
Chang Jihai looked at him busy, looking careless and attentive, not knowing whether he was angry or funny.
"There is no need to show filial piety." The old man sat down in his robe, leaned his cane against his feet, and his expression was clear: "If there is anything you want to ask, you can ask." β
Chang Qianfo laughed twice and brought the boiled tea: "Grandpa drinks tea",
This hasn't been in vain!
Yesterday, I pestered Fu Bo for a long time, and the old man was stunned as if he had cultivated a closed-mouth meditation.
"It's been a long time since I've climbed a mountain with my grandfather." He pretended to be well-behaved.
It's a pity that Chang Jihai doesn't appreciate it, "It's been a long time since I've been home." The old man seemed to be resentful, and he didn't look very hard in his hands, and with a cane, he knocked on Chang Qianfo's back, forcing him to take a step forward, and almost didn't stand firm: "Still planning to run away?" β
Chang Qianfo's first reaction: Liangqing has informed!
Thinking about it again, Liangqing was originally listening to Chang Jihai and was willing to be arranged by him to go to the new house to protect Mu Dianke, which was a sentimental affair.
Something happens every day in the new house, Chang Jihai may not be interested in knowing. But when it comes to this kind of major event that he wants to escape, Liangqing doesn't dare not report it.
"That's a last resort." He whispered, knowing that he was at a loss, he stood obediently and didn't hide, and let Chang Jihai smack it again.
"It's still arrogant, anyone dares to fight." Chang Jihai said: "Your two plates, wait for someone from Beijing, and go and get them yourself." β
"Yes, Grandpa." Chang Qianfo answered honestly.
His cheekiness was not cultivated overnight, and after the beating, he sat down next to Chang Jihai affectionately, "Grandpa, the pawn is not as bad as you think." β
Chang Jihai lowered his head and drank tea, and his ears were calloused when he heard this.
ββ¦β¦ You did that on purpose yesterday, right? Chang Qianfo pondered the words and said, "Just want to see her reaction?" β
The key is that the response is full of dissatisfaction.
"Oh, not to ask for sin." Chang Jihai said.
Chang Qianfo smiled and said, "How can it, it's all dear." β2k
This is both an expression of sincerity and an emphasis on attitude.
Chang Jihai is now old, and he has long been able to cultivate his heart as calm as water, but when he saw Chang Qianfo for a while, he was mostly angry, "Boy! There are quite a lot of hearts. β
Because he looked at the foot of the mountain, he said casually: "That girl is a little angry. β
Chang Qianfo's heart tightened, and he thought about how to tell the difference, and listened to Chang Jihai said: "It's okay." β
The surprise suddenly fell from the sky, and Chang Qianfo did not dare to reach out to pick it up. I was stunned to connect the two sentences together, and repeated them several times in my heart before I confirmed the meaning of Chang Jihai's words - is this a relief?
"In the morning, I just handed a message to Mo Yichan." Chang Jihai said slowly: "That girl is the Son of Heaven who opened her mouth and asked Mu Cangping to be well-educated, and the place cannot be moved at will." Mu Cangping... He can't teach this girl well, so let's come to Changjiabao to study for a few days. β
Chang Qianfo was ecstatic in his heart, and he wanted to jump up and shout at the bottom of the mountain, and he had to be steady in front of Chang Jihai.
What if you are disgusted and frivolous, and change your mind again?
"Grandpa's meaning is to let Dian Ke go to Lianwu Mountain to study?"
This is not only satisfaction, but it is quite important. Historically, only the heirs selected by the head of the family have been sent to Lianwu Mountain for training, and there is no precedent for women to go up the mountain.
"But......" he was a little worried.
"Soldiers should not be treated with vulgarity, and heroes should be given swords. That girl-" Chang Jihai groaned: "Too wise! β
He turned his head to look at Chang Qianfo: "Do you think she can't come down?" β
"Of course not."
Chang Qianfo dared to admit it at this time, then he was stupid.
It's all because he touted Mu Dianke as the only one in the sky and the earth in order to move Chang Jihai, as if Chang Jiabao only had her a big strong building, but he could withstand the wind and rain, and his useless grandson would never be able to support this family.
In fact, he just wants to marry someone back and raise him as a rice worm.
- The first half of Dian Ke's life has been hard enough.
That can't be said yet.
"You haven't forgotten the rules, have you?"
"Nope." Chang Qianfo even put his head swinging.
The existence of the Misty Mountains is a secret, and even if the person who chooses to go up the mountain is selected, it cannot be notified in advance.
Walking at night, stealing pearls and hiding in the basket, only now can I experience the discomfort.
"Don't overthink it." Chang Jihai lightly extinguished the joy of Chang Qianfo's nowhere to place, "It's just reading, and marriage is another story." β
***
Chang Jihai said that he wanted to forge his grandson, but he was actually reluctant.
Chang Qianfo has obviously less things at hand these days.
ββIt was also Chang Jihai a few days ago that the things that should have been handled by the accounting office and the general affairs department and then sent to him for a glance at were all sent directly to the Filling Hall, and he had to do it himself.
Chang Qianfo has a life in Chang Jihai's hands, he doesn't dare to squeak, the old scalper is diligent, from morning to dark, he will not understand when he meets, and he has to run to Zhao Ruis and Liu Xun to ask for advice, and they are the leaders of each hall, and they often can't find anyone.
It's true that I've learned a lot.
After dealing with the matter at hand on this day, it was still early, so I went to the medicine garden to help Suyi pull weeds, and I was worried.
I don't know if Mu Dian is willing to go to study on Lianwu Mountain, and I can't tell her yet. The marriage Chang Jihai has not let go.
- It's not much different from not knowing anything.
Li Xiaoxiao laughed at him: "Quarreled with Miss Four?" When I'm busy, I don't eat, sleep, or sleep, but I have to rush to the east of the city. β
Chang Jihai probably wanted to see Mu Dianke, but he didn't leak any attitude.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't know that Mu Dianke had come to Changjiabao.
At that time, Chang Qianfo didn't know that the day after Chang Jihai met Mu Dianke, he asked Ling Fu to send a letter to Li Ting, informing Xiaoxiao's relatives that she could be asked to do something else, and she had been delayed very much in the past two years, and when she got married in the future, the old man would accompany her with a dowry.
Later, I heard Li Anan say that after Li Ting received the letter, he walked and sang all day long.
"The old man is short-sighted." Li Anan said, "What's wrong with being your father-in-law, eating fragrant food and drinking spicy food, and lying on the pile of money and counting silver every day when he wakes up - it's still timid." β
