Chapter 049 [Can't Cry or Laugh]
Qingyang City, is the capital of Qingyang Ling, but also the base camp of the Zhao family, here, the Zhao family can be described as a monstrous power, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, even the emperor of Tianhua does not have much control here, except for the establishment of some institutions to appoint some officials, there is not much power, and these officials who come down from above will not find themselves uncomfortable, will not go against the Zhao family, obediently take the extra money sent to them by the Zhao family, and then say good things to the top, this is a win-win good way.
The carriage of the Zhao family slowly drove into Qingyang City, seeing the carriage of four horses, the people in Qingyang City stopped and made way of the road, the Zhao family has a high prestige here, especially after the news that Wolf father and son were all ambushed not long ago, people are even more grateful to the Zhao family, because there are too many Tianhua people who died under the hands of those three people, Zhao Zheng is avenging everyone, and the people will naturally be grateful.
Through the window of the carriage, He Ping observed Qingyang City, although when he came all the way, there were already more people, first the number of farmlands and farmers increased significantly, and then some small towns appeared, the more he went, the more prosperous he became, and when the carriage officially drove into Qingyang City, He Ping was also shocked by the scene in front of him, he thought that it was only a civilized level of the second level of the military world would not be a prosperous city, but at this time, what appeared in front of him was far beyond his imagination.
The brick and stone and wooden structure of the houses are lined up, the pavilions and pavilions are everywhere, and the streets are also full of vitality, passers-by coming and going, shops on the street, stalls shouting and soliciting customers, children laughing and playing, juggling groups, similar to ancient China, but different from each dynasty of the ancient city, so that He Ping was in a trance, curious at the same time, but also felt that he was out of place.
The carriage did not stop, every passer-by who saw the carriage consciously gave way to the carriage enough to pass, under the gaze of the lively people, the carriage went all the way, and finally, stopped in front of a gate close to the center of the city, not to mention the boundless wall, just this is like a city gate, hanging with a plaque with the word "Zhao Mansion" on the big house gate, let He Ping once again realize the strength of the Zhao family.
Miss Zhao went home, but there was no spectacular scene as He Ping imagined, no large number of servants to greet her, and there was no special ceremony, and there was a person standing at the gate who was a little similar to Zhao Xiaoyue, dressed gracefully and luxuriously. The young woman, followed by a few young maidservants, that's all, the low-key behavior made He Ping very surprised, it seems that the Zhao family can gain a firm foothold here and rule for many years, and there are also means, but I don't know if this is a common habit of Tianhua nobles, or only the Zhao family.
"Mother!" Zhao Xiaoyue, who jumped out of the carriage with the help of the maidservants beside her, immediately threw herself into the arms of the young woman, it seems that this young woman is Zhao Xiaoyue's mother, Zhao Zheng's wife Zhao Wenshi.
"Satsuki!" Holding Zhao Xiaoyue in his arms, Zhao Wenshi hurriedly stroked Zhao Xiaoyue's hair and said, "Xiaoyue, come and let my mother see if she has tanned or lost weight, has it been hard along the way?" Have you eaten? Would you like to take a break? ”
Looking at Zhao Xiaoyue's mother's actions, He Ping couldn't help but laugh for a while, saying that the husband and wife would gradually move closer to each other as they lived together, these two people were really husband and wife, at least in the treatment of their daughter, the two behaved the same, at that time in the military camp, Zhao Zheng, who saw Zhao Xiaoyue, completely lost his usual majesty, and at this time his wife was the same, and she couldn't see that she was the housemother of the Zhao family in Qingyang.
"Auntie! Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let Xiaoyue be wronged. At this time, Wen Fang on the side also stepped forward to greet Zhao Wenshi, he is the son of Zhao Wen's brother, there are rules in the army, and he can only call his uncle Zhao Zheng a general, but he is not in the army at this time, and Zhao Wenshi is not a soldier, so he naturally calls her aunt: "By the way, aunt, let me introduce you, this is Mr. He Ping." ”
"Mrs. Zhao!" He Ping raised his hand according to Tianhua's rules, to be honest, He Ping was still a little uneasy at this time, although he knew that Zhao Zheng must have sent a letter back to his family, and he must have been mentioned in the family letter, but he is also a person of unknown origin, and the people in the army are bold and bold No matter so many details, but as the mother of the Zhao family, it is still unknown how Zhao Wen's family will treat him, and he is even ready to be looked at coldly.
"Come on, come on, you are He Ping." However, what He Ping imagined did not happen, Zhao Wenshi greeted him warmly, stroked his little face and said: "Don't call me Mrs. Zhao like a little adult, if you want, just call me Auntie, I see that you are the same age as Xiaoyue, and you are not considered to be a big person." ”
While speaking, Zhao Wenshi took Wen Fang and a group of guards, holding He Ping with his left hand and Zhao Xiaoyue with his right hand, while talking to the children on both sides, he walked towards the gate, this treatment made He Ping not react for a while, this is different from what he imagined, and Zhao Wenshi also took care of him along the way, this seems to be a bit like the meaning of the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law? In this way, He Ping, who was in a daze, was taken by Zhao Wen's family to the inner courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, which is where the Zhao family usually lives.
When he arrived here, when he saw that there were only Wen Fang following behind him except for a few servants, He Ping finally reacted, he always regarded himself as an adult, and in the army, everyone paid more attention to strength than appearance, so everyone intersected with him on an equal footing, and did not treat him as a child, but his appearance did not change, in the eyes of the mother of a teenage child, he was just a pink little Zhengtai, who had nothing to do with strength, and was about the same age as Zhao Xiaoyue, which naturally aroused her motherhood.
He Ping, who finally figured out this, couldn't cry or laugh, at this time, he noticed that Wen Fang behind him was full of smiles, and his face was red, which made He Ping even more depressed, presumably Wen Fang would definitely tell Zhao Zheng and others about today's events after returning to the barracks, and the image of the little adult he had built up through a long time of hard work would be completely ruined, but He Ping was not good at refusing Zhao Wen's kindness, this young mother also reminded him of his mother Yin Xiulan.
"Come here, He Ping, look, this is the house I prepared for you, and next to it is where Xiaoyue lives." A few people followed Zhao Wenshi all the way to a courtyard, the scenery here is good, there is a small pond in the yard, there are a few small red and black fish swimming in it, there are a total of three rooms on the front and both sides, and they are all suites, which makes He Ping, who has never exceeded 100 square meters in the housing area, almost committed the old problem of turtles again.
"Satisfied, right? If you need anything, just tell Aunt Zhao. ”
"Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied!" He Ping nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking rice, such an independent courtyard was the best stronghold in his mind.
