Chapter Eighty-Nine: Jealousy and Questioning
"Daddy Wang, get up quickly." Zhongli felt more and more guilty, but no matter how she pulled, Daddy Wang refused to get up, which made Zhongli difficult, she couldn't let Daddy Wang kneel on the ground all the time.
"Second son, as long as you let my son go, you can do whatever you want me to do." Father Wang is a father in the end, and he still wants to keep his children.
But Zhongli can understand that his father's love is like a mountain, although he says that his son is not, but in his heart, he loves him deeply.
Faced with Daddy Wang's bitter pleading, Zhongli finally decided to tell him the fact that Zhong Liyu was his daughter.
But now is not the time to talk about this, she has to pick a suitable time to explain.
Thinking of this, Zhongli went to help Daddy Wang again, "Daddy Wang, calm down, I never blamed Wang Qinglin." Besides, this kind of thing can't be slapped in the face, and Wang Qinglin can't be blamed blindly. ”
"How is it possible, who is the eldest prince? It must have been done by my unfilial son. Second son, you must have seen me pitiful, so you said this, you can rest assured, as long as the second son you speak, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do. "Father Wang was prostrate on the ground, with a pious face.
At this point, Zhongli had no choice but to squat in front of Father Wang and said, "Father Wang, calm down first, I want to tell you a secret." ”
Hearing this, Father Wang finally calmed down and looked at Zhongli in a daze.
Zhongli glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one, he whispered: "This secret doesn't even know Wang Qinglin, you must not be surprised, this secret is also related to the survival of our Zhong family." ”
Father Wang nodded again and again, saying that he would never divulge secrets.
"Second son, you say." Daddy Wang said busily.
"My eldest brother is actually a daughter." Zhongli took a deep breath and spoke.
At this opening, Father Wang was stunned, he didn't think that Zhong Liyu was actually his daughter.
However, before he could react, Zhongli said again: "I am also a daughter, as well as the fourth brother of our family and the two younger sisters below, our genders are all inverted. Zhongli believed that Father Wang would not betray them, because they were one.
Daddy Wang was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth, he couldn't believe that the second son in front of him, who brought them a better life and led the nearby villagers to make a fortune, turned out to be a woman!
It's not that he looks down on women, but in this era, there are basically no women who show their heads outside, so he is so shocked.
Zhongli saw that Father Wang hadn't spoken for a long time, so he sighed softly, and instead of telling the family's secrets, he smiled and said, "I know this thing sounds a bit unbelievable. But as you know, the children of poor families are in charge of their families early, and to be honest, we are also refugees from the north. If we don't, we're half-grown kids, and if something goes wrong, my mother won't forgive me if I die. Besides, such a big family business, if it is all women, it will definitely be coveted by others. ”
It took a long time for Father Wang to come back to his senses, stared at Zhongli, spat fiercely, and unswervingly knelt down to kowtow to her and said: "Second son, you trust me so much, you are willing to tell me the secret of your life, the old man is really ......" He wiped his tears.
When I came to Zhongli before, I didn't think about retreating as the purpose of advancing, but now...... What else could he say?
I'm still greedy, and I can't live in the Lord's house!
Zhongli smiled bitterly, in fact, she told this secret just to make Daddy Wang feel less self-blaming, and she didn't think about letting Daddy Wang do this.
"Daddy Wang, my eldest brother is a daughter's body, and even Wang Qinglin doesn't know about it, but he fell into it." Zhong Li sighed, speaking of which, Wang Qinglin was also to blame for this matter, in her opinion, Zhong Liyu still had a lot of flaws.
Father Wang is old and refined, and after relieving himself, he stared at Zhong Li and said, "So the second son said from the beginning that he was engaged to Xiao'er, and that girl is the eldest son, right?" ”
"That's right, I wonder if Daddy Wang is still satisfied?"
Father Wang was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly, Zhong Liyu had also seen him a few times, he was not arrogant or extravagant, he had an excellent attitude towards his subordinates, and he was also very respectful. The main thing is that his son likes it. Before, he was worried that his son had annoyed the second son, but he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better here, which made Father Wang overjoyed.
Thinking of what Zhongli said before, he couldn't help frowning, and asked cautiously, "Second son, when do you plan to restore your identity?" ”
To be honest, this matter, Zhong Xuan was just an idea, what was the specific, she really didn't expect it, she immediately hooked the corners of her lips, smiled at Daddy Wang and shook her head. "Okay, Daddy Wang, go back first, you have been kneeling for so long just now, and your body is afraid that you will not be able to bear it. I'll think about it. "Actually, this matter is not fair to the Wang family, but there is never anything fair in this world, so Zhongli doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.
There's giving and giving, isn't it?
"Okay, then my old man will go back." The big worries in my heart are gone, and Daddy Wang's face is full of smiles.
Seeing this, Zhong Li hurriedly reminded: "Father Wang, please keep the identity of me and my family secret. ”
"Second son, don't worry, my old king, will never leak a word." Daddy Wang is busy assuring. Their lives were all given by the second son, and now that the second son trusts them so much, how can he do such a rebellious thing.
"Then Daddy Wang walks slowly." Zhongli nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, Zhao Yiyan was training soldiers on the battlefield, and saw a soldier running over in a hurry, kneeling in front of Zhao Yiyan and saying: "Lord Wang, I heard a ...... just now" Speaking of this, the soldier suddenly didn't know what to say, in fact, this kind of thing happens in the barracks, after all, there are no women here. But he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to someone like the Zhong family.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Zhao Yiyan said coldly: "If you have something to say, what are you doing?" Then he picked up the arrow and aimed it at the bullseye in front of him. Regarding the news of the soldiers, Zhao Yiyan did not take it to heart.
"Yes." The soldier didn't dare to slack off, and whispered: "The eldest son of the Zhong family and the king are getting better." ”
"What?" Zhao Yiyan was taken aback, and the arrow in his hand shot out, almost missing the deputy next to him.
Zhao Yiyan was in no mood to care about this, so he grabbed the soldier's shirt and said, "Is the news true?" ”
Broken sleeves are not a trivial matter, especially in this feudal ancient period, and it is even more intolerable to the world.
"The little one doesn't dare to lie, I saw with my own eyes that the father of the king's steward went to ask the second son for his guilt." The soldier lay on the ground, eager to bury his head in the dirt.
Zhao Yiyan didn't look at him, threw the bow and arrow in his hand on the ground, and said to the soldier: "Come back with me." ”
This kind of thing, he can't do it in front of all the soldiers, so he can only go back and talk about it. Returning to his mansion in a huff, Zhao Yiyan sat on the main seat with a golden sword, while the soldier knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Say, make this matter clear word by word." Zhao Yiyan took a sip of cold water, but he couldn't dispel the anger in his heart. I don't know why, when he heard this, he was angry, and even angry.
"Yes." The soldier lay on the ground and whispered: "Things have to start with the second prince asking the king to take the eldest son, and from that time on, the two of them have secretly Chen Cang." Later, they went to quarry together, and stayed in the cave for a day and a night. After returning, they made a three-life covenant, and then they were discovered by the second son. The king steward was sent away, and the eldest prince found trouble with the second prince on the same day. It is said that they quarreled in the room for half the night, and then I don't know how the second son persuaded the eldest son, and the eldest son went to the glaze factory in a huff and never came back. ”
These are all hearsay from soldiers, not all the facts, after all, everyone understands each word differently.
After listening, Zhao Yiyan's mood was very complicated.
He still remembered that when Zhongli brought an Oiran back, he also went to the door to make a fuss for this reason, and made a big oolong, but he didn't expect that the bigger oolong was actually here.
The eldest son of the Zhong family can't even look down on the beauty of the peach blossom girl, but he likes the descendants of his family, and he is still a man......
He groaned for a long time before letting the soldier out, and then he sat in his chair in a daze.
If, he was saying if, if Zhongli could accept that his eldest brother was with a man, then could he too......
Wait, what was he thinking, he actually had such thoughts!
Zhao Yiyan patted his forehead, no, he must be crazy!
Zhao Yiyan waved his hand to let people go down, while he desperately looked for something to do, but unfortunately, nothing was done well in the afternoon. He finally threw the thing in his hand on the ground, and made up his mind that he had to ask Zhongli about this matter, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well.
After thinking about it, he got up and took a cold shower, changed another set of clothes, and was just about to go out, when he heard the soldier report: "General, I just received news that the second son of the Zhong family is coming to the city." ”
"Let's go, go to the eight directions." Zhao Yiyan said immediately.
When I came to Hui Bafang, the shopkeeper was naturally entertained with good wine and food, after all, Zhao Yiyan was the number one customer of Hui Bafang, and they had to be good. But what Zhao Yiyan never got tired of eating in the past has become difficult to swallow today, he sat in the box, anxiously waiting, like ants on a hot pot, round and round.
After waiting for almost half an hour, I heard the little two outside: "Second son, you are here." ”
"Well, what about the shopkeeper?" Zhongli just came to take a look, and he stayed at home anyway.
Now that the business is on the right track, all she needs to do is look around and then think about how to change careers.
"The shopkeeper is talking to the general." Xiao Er pointed upstairs, just saw Zhao Yiyan coming out of the room, Xiao Er immediately shrunk his neck and lowered his head, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhao Yiyan is a god who does not smile, few people dare to provoke him, of course, except for Zhongli.
"Second son Zhong, what a coincidence, since we met, let's come up and talk." Zhao Yiyan invited.
Zhao Yiyan's words made Zhongli frown, she didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence. It must be Zhao Yiyan who is waiting for her here, but she hasn't messed with Zhao Yiyan recently, so why is Zhao Yiyan waiting for her here?
Zhongli went upstairs with doubts, and before he could enter the room, the shopkeeper left with interest, leaving the space for them.
"You may be seated." Zhao Yiyan made a gesture of please, Zhongli was not polite, sat down and looked at Zhao Yiyan with a big thorn and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Zhao Yiyan stared at Zhongli and pondered for a moment before saying, "I heard a little about your eldest brother and Steward Wang. ”
Hearing this, Zhongli raised his eyebrows, "So what?" But his heart sank, he didn't expect that Zhao Yiyan had been paying attention to their family's affairs, otherwise how would he know about such a gossip incident.
Thinking that everything he did was seen by Zhao Yiyan, Zhongli couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart. At first, she approached Zhao Yiyan because he was the biggest official here, and only by hugging his thighs could her career develop, but now, she found that Zhao Yiyan had paid too much attention to her.
No, she still has a lot of plans for the future, and she must not be discovered by Zhao Yiyan, so she decided to break this situation in the bathroom.
Zhongli stood up and said, "General, we are just nodding friends, not even friends, do you think it's appropriate for you to ask this question?" ”
Zhongli's words made Zhao Yiyan's face sink suddenly, and a pair of black eyes locked on Zhongli, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
