Chapter 62: Old Man Chen
Old Man Chen, who was just about to enter the room, saw the door of the room open, and immediately stopped. I saw an old woman dressed in a blue-gray cloth dress with spotted white silver hair wrapped in a piece of floral cloth walking out.
The old woman had a big smile on her face and held a small red silk bag in her hand. As soon as he saw Chen Junyao, the smile on his face suddenly became a little brighter. After taking three steps and two steps, he walked in front of Old Man Chen, and said as if he had to make a gesture of flattery: "Congratulations to Old Marshal Chen! Congratulations to Old Marshal Chen! Young Lady gave birth to a white and chubby young master for your Chen family!" As he spoke, he handed the silk cloth bag in his hand to Chen Junyao, and then stood aside.
Old Man Chen took the small bag, opened it, and saw a pink, wrinkled little doll sleeping quietly in it. As soon as Chen Junyao saw this little Chen Hao, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and he waved his hand and ordered the people behind him: "You take Granny Li to the account room to receive the reward! She is a great hero, and she must give more rewards! Well, go ahead!"
Granny Li, who had already stood on the side and was waiting to receive the reward, was overjoyed when she heard this, said a few words of thanks to Old Man Chen, and followed the subordinate to the account room.
Old Man Chen just stood in front of the door and hugged Chen Hao to play, "Look how similar this little nose and small eyes look like your father! It's a pity! You were just born, and your father was sent to the border, and you can't even see the first face of your little guy!"
At this time, an old man who was about the same age as him beside Old Man Chen handed him a note. Old Man Chen glanced at the note, did not open it, but asked the man beside him: "Old Pang, has there been news back from the Zhiming army?"
The man called "Lao Pang" replied, "Well, this time it's good news! Childe's team has temporarily defeated the group of juniors in the Shining Moon Country, and temporarily dispelled their delusions about the borders of my Bright Sun Empire!"
"Well, as my Chen Junyao's son, I should do this! I just hope that he will solve the matter over there as soon as possible and come back safely to see his wife and son!"
"Don't worry, my lord! Gongzi Jiren has his own natural appearance! Not to mention your son, he will definitely calm the border as soon as possible and return safely!"
"I hope so! But this emperor too, knowing that my grandson is about to be born, he really can't do anything to send my son out at this time! Is it true that there is no one in my country? Aren't those old foxes clamoring every day?
Old Man Chen is complaining about what the current emperor is not doing well, and Lao Pang is also smiling slightly on the side, listening to him complain. Chen Junyao and the former emperor are brothers who worship their sons, and when it comes to seniority, Zhao Heming, the current monarch of the Jiaoyang Empire, still calls him an uncle.
Moreover, Chen Junyao is a well-deserved first person in the Jiaoyang military, and his influence in the army of the Jiaoyang Empire is definitely the greatest! Therefore, as long as he does not really do anything that should not be done, such as insulting and beating the current monarch, or plotting to usurp the throne, even the monarch will be polite to him and dare not be disrespectful to him.
However, fortunately, Chen Junyao is a man who abides by his duties, and he only holds military power to defend his country. Otherwise, the Sun Empire would have changed someone to be the monarch a long time ago. However, if he was the kind of person who was extremely ambitious, I am afraid that the previous monarch of the Bright Sun Empire would not be so relieved of him!
Lao Pang listened quietly on the side and did not speak. This is not to say that Lao Pang did not dare to intervene because Chen Junyao was complaining about the current monarch, but when talking about people with this status, there is no need for someone to echo him. In fact, many things happen because there are people next to them who fan the flames, fan the wind and light the fire, and many people do something stupid with a hot head.
Lao Pang is a smart man, and a smart person knows when to speak, when not to speak, when to say what to say, and when not to say anything. Lao Pang knew in his heart that even if he really said anything, with Old Man Chen's character, he wouldn't think much about anything, and he wouldn't really care about anything!
"Master, let's go in and see the young grandmother!I think the young grandmother should rest now, and I want to meet the young master!" Lao Pang waited for Old Man Chen to complain for a while, and then suddenly proposed.
"What you're saying is that the first thing Ting'er must have done when she wakes up is to see my grandson! I don't know if she will be very happy to see that she has given birth to such a healthy son! Let's go in!"
The "Ting'er" in Mr. Chen's mouth is Chen Hao's mother-in-law in this life, that is, Liu Ting, who gave birth to him with great effort not long ago and is now resting.
So Old Man Chen walked into the room with the sleeping Chen Hao in his arms, and Lao Pang followed Old Man Chen into the room when he saw this. Before entering the room, he said to the group of servants behind them: "Everyone is scattered!
After entering the room, before Old Man Chen could speak, Lao Pang said, "Okay! The big guy is gone! The big guy has worked hard today, and the old man has also seen it." Let's go to the account office and get the reward later!"
The room was full of female dependents, and they retired after a blessing to Old Man Chen and Old Pang Fu. They didn't think there was anything wrong with Lao Pang asking them to collect the reward money without Old Man Chen's permission, they had long been used to it. Although Lao Pang is nominally the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, he has been following the old man Chen for more than ten years, and it is a brotherly relationship, and the old man Chen has long acquiesced to Lao Pang being half the master of the Chen Mansion. However, Lao Pang didn't think so, and still positioned himself as a housekeeper, but his housekeeper must have more authority than the housekeepers in other houses!
Soon, the servants in the room withdrew, leaving only Mrs. Chen's personal maid Liu Ting to take care of her. Old Man Chen and Lao Pang sat down at the table in the outhouse, because Liu Ting had not woken up at this time and fell asleep in the inner room.
Because he had nothing to do, Old Man Chen chatted with Lao Pang. There is nothing important to do, probably just to talk about Chen Zhiming's situation at the border pass, and talk about their affairs in the army back then.
The more I talked, the more I got up, I couldn't wait to make two pots of wine, a few side dishes to drink, and I just bragged with my brother while drinking. Unfortunately, there are no drinks and food now, and this is not a good place to drink.
But that's it, their voices are still loud, and finally Chen Hao was woken up. You know, people who come out of the army generally have a very loud voice. Moreover, Chen Hao was still held in his arms by his grandfather Chen Junyao, and the magic sound was directly poured into his little head from his little ears without hindrance. It's really a complete version of the magic sound to the brain, pity Chen Hao's little ears, after being woken up, there was a buzzing in his ears.
When Chen Hao woke up, he saw an old man with a white beard holding him. The old man was talking to someone else, and he felt the movement of his wake-up, and the old man immediately looked down at him. Chen Hao's ears were still buzzing, he was stunned, and he didn't react to anything. Then he saw the old man glaring at him, revealing a mouthful of large, yellowed teeth. The wrinkles on that face were all squeezed together, and with the beard on his face, it was really like a white chrysanthemum blooming in the wind.
Chen Hao couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at his image, grinning, and he didn't have a single tooth. Old Man Chen smiled even happier when he saw Chen Hao smiling, and said to Lao Pang: "Lao Pang, look, this child not only woke up and didn't cry, but he smiled when he saw me......! This is still laughing without even teeth, it really makes people laugh off their big teeth!" Lao Pang saw Chen Hao's appearance, and when he heard Old Man Chen's words again, he couldn't help but be happy.
Chen Hao's ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything clearly, so he didn't know what Old Man Chen was talking about. It wasn't until later that I learned that his grandfather was laughing at him for having no teeth, as if he had lost his big teeth, so Chen Hao was speechless about his grandfather.
Chen Hao saw his grandfather laughing there, although he didn't know what he was laughing at, but it was really funny to see him like that, so he followed his grandfather and laughed.
Old Man Chen looked at Chen Hao and kept laughing at himself, he didn't know what Chen Hao was laughing at, he could only think that Chen Hao was laughing when he saw him because he was close to him, so Old Man Chen smiled even more happily.
Then Old Man Chen said something to Lao Pang, because he was laughing while talking, and he was originally a big man from the barracks, so he spewed out a lot of spittle when he spoke.
These spittle stars fell on the faces of our Chen Hao, Young Master Chen. Dense and full. When the first spit fell on his face, Chen Hao thought to himself: "What's the matter? It's raining? No, it's in the room!
Later, it fell a lot, and Chen Hao reacted that it was not rain. How could this be a raindrop, and a little warm! Chen Hao wrinkled his little nose and sniffed, as if there was a strange smell in the air.
Chen Hao found the source of these "waters" and finally let him discover where the source was! However, after he discovered the source, he immediately regretted it, and it was better not to find it. The source was his grandfather's big mouth, and what fell on his face was the spittle that spewed out of that big mouth. The big mouth closed one by one, and a lot of saliva stars fell on Chen Hao's face, and Chen Hao suddenly wanted to vomit out in disgust.
But Old Man Chen seemed to be fascinated by talking to Lao Pang again, or Old Man Chen's nerves were too thick, so he didn't notice Chen Hao's abnormality. Chen Hao thought to himself that he couldn't go on like this, he had to find a way to get them to notice me!
