Volume 1: The Honest Young Man, Chapter 37
Bizhou Cheng and the others also solved the corresponding war, returned triumphantly, saw the emperor coming, reported the matter, and went down with interest, Yuan Zhen smiled and pulled Ouyang Qian to sit down: "The first time I led the troops to fight, did it go well?" Are there any injuries? β
Ouyang Qian shook his head gloomily: "It's nothing, I was quite worried at first, for fear that I wouldn't be able to bring people well, but I didn't expect to win Deng Guo so smoothly." β
Yuan Zhen nodded proudly: "I know that my Qian'er is very capable. β
didn't get a response, Yuan Zhen looked at Ouyang Qian, he seemed to be very lost, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.
"What are you thinking?"
"Father-in-law." Ouyang Qian raised his head, Yuan Zhen was simply shocked by the pain that came out of his eyes, "What's wrong?" β
"Deng Yin cut himself." After Ouyang Qian finished speaking, his eyes turned to other places, "He died in front of me, an emperor, and he died with dignity...... Life, what a fragile thing......"
"Life and death are commonplace, don't take it too seriously. He will die, you will die, I will die, everyone will die, it's just a matter of time, this is the law of nature, you don't need to feel sorry for this. β
Ouyang Qian suddenly got up and knelt down in front of Yuan Zhen, put his arms around his waist, buried his face deep in his waist and abdomen, and a choked voice faintly came: "I don't want my father-in-law to leave......"
Yuan Zhen was stunned, and slowly patted Ouyang Qian's back to reassure: "My father-in-law is only forty years old, how could he leave so easily?" It's okay......"
"I can't imagine it...... Ouyang Qian cried suppressively, his body began to rise and fall violently, he didn't care about tears and snot rubbing his father-in-law's body, he hugged him and didn't let go, "There is no father-in-law...... I don't know where to go...... Without my father-in-law, I don't feel at home anywhere......"
Yuan Zhen sighed: "Life and death are fate, how can this be decided by mortals......"
Ouyang Qian just shook his head, and then said something that made Yuan Zhen feel naΓ―ve: "I don't care, my father-in-law promised me to live to be 10,000 years old......"
Ouyang Qian has always been much more mature and stable than his peers, at the age of seventeen, he is much more transparent in looking at everything, and the childish words he said at this time made Yuan Zhen feel sad, and he was too afraid of losing.
"Okay, my father-in-law is the Son of Heaven, don't everyone shout long live? Then the father-in-law will live for 10,000 years, okay? Yuan Zhen followed his words and said, Ouyang Qian raised his head and looked at him with teary eyes, "Okay." β
Yuan Zhen doted on him and wiped off his snot with his hand: "I'm seventeen years old, crying like I've just been born, and I still have a runny nose......"
"Qian'er just wants to give the best, everything that the father-in-law needs, Qian'er wants to be by his father-in-law's side all the time, seeing that his father-in-law is safe, Qian'er wants to give everything to his father-in-law......"
Ouyang Qian's tearful appearance was too lethal, and his slightly aggrieved confession made Yuan Zhen's eyes red, closed his eyes to hide his mood swings, and leaned over to hug him into his arms, like a treasure of life.
"Father-in-law......" Ouyang Qian's muffled voice came from his arms, "In the future, if Qian'er does something wrong, and my father-in-law beats me and scolds me, I will be grateful to my father-in-law for his kindness, but my father-in-law doesn't want me, and my father-in-law can't do without me...... I'd rather die at the hands of my father-in-law than live alone in the world......"
"Stupid again, my father-in-law is willing to beat you to death?" Yuan Zhen's heart seemed to be twisted into a rope, his hair was sour and swollen, his abdomen was wet, and he rubbed his head hair, "They are all majestic marshals, crying like a girl, are you ashamed?" All right, thy heart to thy father, and thy father understands in his heart: arise. β
Ouyang Qian's head slowly raised, and when he saw the tears and snot on his father-in-law's clothes, he smiled embarrassedly, went to wipe his face with a piece of paper, and wiped his clothes again: "Did your father-in-law bring a change of clothes?" β
"Yes, I'll change it."
"Hmm." Ouyang Qian sat obediently outside waiting for his father-in-law.
Yuan Zhen came out with a new father-in-law, and Ouyang Qian said embarrassedly: "Is the child too sentimental?" β
Yuan Zhen wanted to say that in fact, you are as careful as a hair, and your humanity is kind, so she couldn't bear to see the parting, and said softly: "I fought a lot more bloody than you at that time, let alone crying, I didn't even have time to catch my breath." β
"The child is naturally inferior to the father-in-law." Ouyang Qian said sincerely.
"You're doing well now, I'm still busy talking about love at your age."
"That's because you have a sweetheart, and I don't, if you devote yourself to politics, you must be 10,000 times stronger than me." Ouyang Qian's eyes were full of undisguised admiration and admiration, so that Yuan Zhen had some needles on his back, sat in the chair next to him, and said faintly, "You don't always have to treat me as a god, I also have many shortcomings, don't you know?" β
Ouyang Qian shook his head: "My father-in-law has no shortcomings in my eyes. β
"Then is it a ghost who has been kicked into a dog all these years?"
"You know that there is this shortcoming, and I can correct it next time, and I also think that my father-in-law always beats people wrong." Ouyang Qian squinted and smiled.
"If you don't make a mistake, will I fight?" Yuan Zhen raised his eyebrows.
"If you admit your mistake and still fight, you are unreasonable."
"Can you escape punishment by admitting your mistakes? Then the next time you make a mistake, Coke will save your effort. β
Ouyang hummed hummed angrily.
"When are you going home?" Yuan Zhen took a sip of tea and asked.
"At least it will take a few days, this side of the matter has not been sorted out yet, and the big thing will be dealt with before leaving."
"Done."
"What does the father-in-law plan to do with the remnants of the royal family and the people of the Deng Kingdom?"
"Deng Guo was demoted to a subordinate state and province of the Yuan State, and the royal family was all confined to him, I intended to make Deng Yan the king, he has courage and ability, and he is not bad, he is a person who can be cultivated."
"It's just that Deng Yan is a military general, Yu Wen may not be good at it, let him sit at the table every day and read the excerpts, I don't know if he is willing or not." Ouyang Qian hesitated.
"And who do you like to sit in this position?"
"If the father-in-law wants Deng Yan to be the king, it is not impossible, but it is best to prepare a capable person who can repair the literature in case of emergency."
"Well, at present, Deng Yan knows more about the situation in Deng Guo, and it is most appropriate for him to be in charge, and we will talk about any changes in the future."
"All right, the boy commanded to go down."
In the next few days, Ouyang Qian was busy and couldn't see anyone all day, and Yuan Zhen kept watching what he was doing, and he was very pleased.
"The 16th Battalion performed well in this war, and was promoted to the captain of the 16th Battalion, and I hope to be more diligent in the future and serve the Yuan State loyally."
Honest arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your modest and handsome intentions, you are honest and lonely, you have no ambitions, and you are not interested in promotion, so forget it." β
"Why?"
"The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, the honest just want to be an ordinary, dispatchable shrimp soldier and crab general, don't want to be the leader himself, don't want to die in the future because of the decisions he makes, don't want to bear this responsibility and hardship."
"You have the mind and the ability."
"At least I don't want to yet, please respect my wishes."
Ouyang Qian went to ask Zhong Xiao, Zhong Xiao said helplessly, his incorruptible ability and character are all good, and he has been following him for so many years, he has always wanted him to rise, but he is a brainless man, and he has always disagreed with promotion, and they also have a headache. Ouyang Qian was unwilling to force others, so he could only give up for the time being.
When they returned to the palace, Zeng Zhuangrong Nanfeng and they were all waiting at the door, and when they saw that the army was back, they trotted up to meet them, "Brother! "Big brother!" "Young Master......" Ouyang Qian jumped down from the sedan chair, "Aunt Yun! Ouyang Qian stepped up and hugged Zeng Zhuangrong in a circle, Zeng Zhuangrong laughed happily, and only stopped after many circles, Zeng Zhuangrong slapped him in disgust, "You have made me dizzy!" β
Nanfeng's outstretched hands were at a loss, and he quietly withdrew them, snorted coldly, brushed them both away, and looked surprised: "You guys are enough!" Aunt Yun is hugged by her father-in-law, what are you tired of. β
"Qian'er has a good journey? Aunt Yun looks at you and you're tired and thin. Zeng Zhuangrong looked at his body left and right, and Ouyang Qian said with a smile, "It's nothing." β
Yuan Zhen got down from the sedan chair, Zeng Zhuangrong immediately tidied up his appearance, pushed Ouyang Qian, who was in the way, to the back, and greeted him with a smile: "Jian Yu ......"
Yuan Zhen saw his sweetheart and shook her hand: "Qian'er fought for the first time, and I can see that he is the material to lead the troops. β
Zeng Zhuangrong smiled lightly: "It's not that you said that this is Qian'er's first time fighting, you must go to see it to feel at ease, you're tired, right?" Let's go, let's go home. β
"Big brother, why do you have a scar on your neck?" Nanfang grabbed Ouyang Qian's neck and looked at it again, "Is the military camp fun?" Isn't it exciting to fight? β
"The barracks are not very fun, but fighting is still quite exciting, and one will die if you are not careful." Ouyang Qian laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go in first." β
As soon as the two chopsticks were moved, the three of them came when they were alone, and Fang Shi scooped Ouyang Qian's clothes and looked at them: "It's not hurt, right?" β
"It's fine." Ouyang Qian beckoned warmly, "Have you eaten?" Come and have a bite to eat. β
Gu Fang took Gu Shi's hand and sat down, and said with a sincere smile: "Qian'er is capable." β
Ouyang Qian smiled embarrassedly and pointed to the food in front of him: "Eat, eat." β
"What about the two of them?" Lone Shi didn't see them everywhere, and asked curiously.
"I'm tired of it." Nanfeng smiled playfully, "My father-in-law has one hand and one hand, and the two of them don't know what they're doing now." β
"Do you even dare to make a joke about your father-in-law?" Ouyang Qian kicked him under the table.
Yuan Zhen and Zeng Zhuangrong were making dumplings in the kitchen, flirting and scolding not to talk more happily: "Why don't you take a break when you just come back, just come to the kitchen to make dumplings, and see that you are tired." Zeng Zhuangrong wiped the flour on his cheeks and said distressedly.
"Qian'er has been talking all the way to eat the dumplings I wrapped, if you don't wrap them for him today, you may not have time tomorrow, and there are a lot of things waiting for me in the court."
"This is Qian'er's first time leading troops to fight, and he has already performed extremely well, and you can let go of him in the future."
Yuan Zhen was full of relief: "He really made me worry." β
