Chapter 214: Old Friends Meet
Three days later, in a teahouse in Luoyang, the capital.
In the private room, the lord of Gao Zhai sat at the table, as if waiting for someone.
At this time, the stairs sounded, and Father-in-law Hong, who was dressed as an ordinary officer, came up from the stairs, walked to the door of the private room, and saw that there was no one around, so he pushed the door in.
When the lord of Gaozhai saw Gonggong Hong coming in, he hurriedly got up and greeted, "Engong." ”
Gonggong Hong was puzzled: "Why are you here?" Didn't I tell you not to appear in the capital? ”
The lord of Gao Zhai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, but there are some important things, and I want to discuss it with you." ”
Gonggong Hong was puzzled: "Matter? Could something had happened to him? ”
The lord of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "No, it's nothing, he's fine." ”
Gonggong Hong said reassuringly: "Well, it's okay, then what do you want to tell me when you come here?" Saying that, he sat down, and the lord of Gaozhai hurriedly poured tea for Gonggong Hong.
The lord of Gaozhai hesitated and said: "Because some things have happened recently, I am afraid that I will not be able to decide, so I will ask Engong for instructions." ”
Gonggong Hong nodded and said, "Well, you say, I'll listen." ”
The lord of Gao Zhai said seriously: "Since the last goodbye, I have kept in mind the instructions of Engong, lived in seclusion in Panlong Town, and raised him well. ”
Gonggong Hong nodded and said, "Well, I've worked hard for you." ”
The lord of Gaozhai hurriedly said: "I can repay Engong's life-saving grace, and I should do everything." ”
Gonggong Hong nodded and said, "Everyone is their own people, you don't need to be polite, so ...... What about his character? It won't get you in any trouble, will it? ”
The lord of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "No, no, he is a kind person, how can he cause trouble for me." ”
Gonggong Hong nodded and said: "Well, that's good, that's good, then let him live a good life in Panlong Town, it's good to live this life ordinarily, the current capital is really not a good and pure place." \./Hand\./Machine\./Edition\./First\./Hair\./More\./New~~"
The lord of Gaozhai was startled, hesitating and not knowing what to say, Hong Gonggong saw this and wondered: "What's wrong?" If you have anything to say, you might as well say it. ”
The lord of Gao Zhai hesitated: "Engong, I came this time for this matter. ”
Gonggong Hong was surprised: "Do you want to go back to the capital?" ”
The master of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "No, no, no." ”
Hong Gong said fairly: "What is that?" ”
The lord of Gao Zhai said carefully: "He participated in this year's county examination and won the first place, and he said that in a few days, he will go to the capital to take the Shangshu Academy exam." ”
Gonggong Hong was surprised: "He came to the capital to take the exam? ”
The master of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "Hmm." ”
Gonggong Hong thought for a moment and said suspiciously: "You said that he took the first place in the county test?" ”
The lord of Gaozhai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the county commander Zhang also praised him for his talent, saying that if he takes the Shangshu Academy exam, he will definitely be able to enter the top three, and take the top prize, list eye, and Tanhua or something." ”
Gonggong Hong was surprised: "He is really so talented...... Do you really want him to take the Shangshuyuan exam? ”
The master of Gao Zhai hesitated and said carefully: "Engong, I think he usually works hard, and besides, our Gao family ancestors have never produced champions and have been officials, if he can take the examination for an official and a half position, it will be a glory for our Gao family." ”
Gonggong Hong thought for a moment and said seriously: "I asked you to adopt him at the beginning, the purpose was to let him stay away from the place of right and wrong and live an ordinary life, you let him return to the capital now, you ...... In case his identity is exposed, he may be killed at any time, aren't you putting him in danger? ”
The lord of Gao Zhai was taken aback and said carefully: "After so long, he has grown up, as long as we don't say it, no one should recognize him, right?" ”
Gonggong Hong smiled: "Don't say it? It's too easy to say, what if you recognize it? ”
The lord of Gao Zhai was surprised: "This ......"
Gonggong Hong persuaded: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, even if you let him be admitted."
(M.. COM)
It's not so easy to be an official in the court and mix in the capital. ”
The master of Gao Zhai was surprised: "Why? ”
Gonggong Hong hesitated and sighed: "The current situation in the imperial court is very complicated, headed by King Wei. (More exciting on the next page!) )
The martial arts family and the national teacher forces are linked, and some ministers of the imperial court who support the prince and princess are fighting openly and secretly, which is very fierce, and now he is back in the capital, this is ...... Isn't this jumping into a fire pit? In today's dye vat of officialdom, who can protect themselves? What's more, his own identity is not pure. ”
The lord of Gao Zhai was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses in a half-sound, and hurriedly said: "Engong, then what should I do?" ”
Gonggong Hong resolutely said: "Persuade him to give up the exam, and never let him appear in the capital, a place of right and wrong." ”
The master of Gao Zhai was taken aback, hesitated and hurriedly said: "Okay, for his safety, I will definitely persuade him when I go back." ”
Gonggong Hong nodded and said, "As long as he doesn't come to the capital, no one will know his true identity, and he will be able to spend this life safely...... Oh, by the way, what did you name him? ”
The lord of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "His name is Gao Tianbao." ”
Gonggong Hong was surprised: "Gao Tianbao? ”
The master of Gao Zhai was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Because the wrestlers are big, and I am a rough man, I think he is the treasure of the Gao family given to us by God, so I call him Tianbao." ”
Gonggong Hong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's crooked, this name is good, it's good, it's good." ”
Suddenly, the master of Gao Zhai seemed to think of something again, and hesitated: "Engong, there is one more thing." ”
Father-in-law Hong drank tea and said, "And?" Well, you name it. ”
The lord of Gaozhai said carefully: "Tianbao, he likes the daughter of King Heng'an, and it seems that the county lord also likes Tianbao." ”
Gonggong Hong was shocked when he heard this, coughed for a while, and spilled all the tea on his clothes.
The lord of Gao Zhai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Engong be careful." ”
Gonggong Hong came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "What did you say?" ”
The lord of Gao Zhai said carefully: "I said that Tianbao fell in love with the daughter of King Heng'an, it seems to be called, yes, called Wu Meiren, and the county lord seems to be quite interesting to him." ”
Gonggong Hong was taken aback, and sighed halfway: "Alas, how is this thing, how can it be so coincidental." ”
The lord of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "Then what should I do?" If he really wants to marry the county lord, I'm afraid he won't be able to come to the capital at that time. ”
Gonggong Hong hurriedly said: "Why, why is he ...... Do you like the daughter of King Heng'an? If the samurai family and the crown prince fight, wouldn't it? Hey, it's a mess, no, I can't let that happen. ”
Seeing Gonggong Hong's hesitation, the lord of Gaozhai said carefully: "Engong, that, what should I do about this?" ”
Gonggong Hong thought for a while, and said resolutely: "You must do everything possible to stop him, and you must not let him have a relationship with King Heng'an, not at all, otherwise, things will be very troublesome." The lord of Gao Zhai was shocked.
At noon, on Luoyang Street in the capital.
People came and went on the street, and the lord of Gaozhai walked aimlessly, as if he was thinking about something. I couldn't help but echo the words of Gonggong Hong in the inn just now: "You must do everything possible to stop him, and you must not let him have a relationship with King Heng'an, not at all, otherwise, things will be very troublesome." ”
The lord of Gaozhai came back to his senses and thought: "If you don't let him come to the capital, you must not let him take the Shangshu Academy exam, and you can't let him have dealings with the Heng'an Palace, this is not okay, but how can I tell him?" Hey, that's a shame. "Hesitation.
At this time, suddenly a luxury carriage came from the opposite side, and the driver saw the master of Gaozhai walking straight towards the carriage, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, get out of the way, get out of the way." "Tighten the reins to stop the carriage.
The owner of the high village did not hear it, and walked straight, and the driver of the car was about to collide, so he was frightened, and hurriedly shouted "Huh" a rein, and the carriage even avoided the master of the high village and stopped aside.
Gao Zhai came back to his senses and looked at the carriage in surprise, and the coachman said angrily: "I said that you are a person, how do you walk."
(M.. COM)
I don't look at the road, what should I do if I hit you? ”
The master of Gao Zhai was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
At this time, I heard a woman's voice in the carriage: "What's the matter?" ”
The coachman turned around and said, "There was a man who didn't walk well and almost hit him." ”
The county lord wondered, "Really? The curtain was lifted, revealing a pretty face.
The lord of Gao Zhai heard the voice, looked up, and the two looked at each other. (More exciting on the next page!) )
Look, surprised.
Ban Xiang was surprised: "Daddy? ”
"County Lord!"
At noon, a teahouse in Luoyang, Beijing, has a private room on the street.
The beauty accompanied the lord of Gao Zhai to talk, and Xiaozhi stood aside and waited.
The beauty asked, "Dad, why do you have time to come to the capital?" ”
The master of Gao Zhai looked a little unnatural, and said busily: "I...... I, I came to see an old friend, so I came. ”
The beauty wondered: "Then you are alone...... What about Lux and Tianbao, didn't they come with you? ”
The master of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "No, no, I came here by hitchhiking, and there is nothing to do, so I didn't let them come." ”
The beauty was disappointed for a while, and hurriedly said, "Really...... That day Bao Ta ...... How did you do on the prefectural exam? Shouldn't there be any problem, right? ”
The master of Gao Zhai hesitated and hurriedly said: "Well, it's not bad, he took the first place in the exam." ”
The beauty was surprised: "First place? ”
Xiao Zhi exclaimed: "First place...... It's so powerful, isn't it possible to go to the capital to take the Shangshu Academy exam? Great, county lord, you will be able to meet soon. ”
The beauty was happy in her heart and hurriedly said, "Xiaozhi, don't talk nonsense." ”
Xiaozhi didn't understand, and said, "County Lord, how can I talk nonsense, don't I?" ”
The beauty was embarrassed for a while, saw the Gao Zhai master's eyes dodging, and wondered: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”
The lord of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "Huh? Maybe it's right, maybe I'm just here, and I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it. ”
The beauty persuaded: "Then you should pay more attention to your body, why don't you go to my house for two days to recuperate and then go back." ”
Dad was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, thank you for the kindness of the county lord, I have to rush back in a hurry, this has been out for several days, I am afraid that they will be worried." ”
The beauty hesitated: "This ......"
The lord of Gaozhai hurriedly said: "County lord, don't embarrass me, an old man, I'm a rough person, I'm used to living in an old house, let me live in such a good house all of a sudden, I won't get used to it, just let me go back." Twig couldn't help but laugh.
The beauty said: "Dad, how can you say that, what's good or not, stay for two more days and get used to it." ”
The lord of Gaozhai said: "County Lord, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need to, I really have to rush back, thank you for your kindness." ”
The beauty hesitated and said, "Since you insist on refusing to live, then next time, when you come next time, don't say that." ”
The master of Gao Zhai hurriedly said: "Well, next time, it will be." ”
The beauty hesitated and said carefully: "Tianbao him, how are you doing lately?" ”
The master of Gaozhai hurriedly said: "Okay, it's good, there is no illness at all." ”
The beauty thought for a while and said, "I think, please help me give him a message." ”
The lord of Gao Zhai was puzzled: "Words? Oh, okay, you say it. ”
The beauty thought for a moment and said shyly: "Well, then you can tell him, say that I am very good in the capital, let him rest assured, I will wait here for him to come to the capital to take the Shangshu Academy exam." ”
The lord of Gaozhai was taken aback, and the beauty wondered: "What's wrong?" ”
The master of Gao Zhai came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "No, it's nothing, don't worry, I will definitely help you tell him this message." w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m ”
The beauty was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Hmm." But I didn't notice the unnatural expression of my father.
Xiaozhi noticed that he was very puzzled, but he couldn't say it for a while.
