Chapter 673: Once I meet someone who goes my way, I have to hold it firmly in the palm of my hand
It didn't take long for her to leave in a hurry with the personal maid of the lord of Yuchang, and she gradually walked to the side of the river.
When there was a sound of horses' hooves, suddenly, there was a "plop", and the lord of Yuchang made a look of falling into the water.
Immediately afterwards, he fluttered in the river and shouted for help.
The servants and maidservants on the riverbank all showed a posture that they could not swim, either shouting that they were coming, or they looked at the river with worry and called out to the lord of the county.
Immediately afterwards, a servant took a bamboo pole and handed it to the river very realistically, but unfortunately the lord of Yuchang seemed to be too panicked, constantly fluttering in the river, but he couldn't catch the bamboo pole beside him.
After a while, he saw that Ling Budo was still dressed in military uniform, leading his own black armor guards, and took the lead on the bridge.
"Ling Budo, save me!"
As soon as the county lord of Yuchang finished speaking, her personal maid followed next to Ling Budo, and hurriedly persuaded:
"General Ling, under everyone's eyes, please hurry up and save our county lord."
Ling Budo just sat on his horse and watched coldly.
At this moment, the movement by the river also attracted a lot of people to come and see, and some people heard that the county lord fell into the water, and they had the heart to save people, but unfortunately they were instantly reprimanded by the servants on the side:
"Look at anything, get out of the way, don't look at our county lord's jokes here."
Yang Jiao and the two stood not far away, taking a look at what happened on the field.
At this moment, Ling Budo said coldly:
"County Lord, if it's cold, don't splash in the river anymore, the mud at the bottom of the river is about to be turned out by you."
With that, he rode away.
When the county lord of Yuchang heard this, he was stunned all of a sudden, looked down at the extremely turbid river around him, and didn't understand that he had done a stupid thing, so he patted the river surface in great annoyance.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout:
"Oh no, the water is gone, and the lanterns in Tianjia Restaurant are burning."
Yang Jiao's eyes are shining, and he is familiar with the original plot, so he understands the true origin of Tianjia Restaurant.
Its shopkeeper Tian Shuo, on the surface, is just a businessman who runs most of the restaurants in the capital, and there are some smart businessmen, but secretly he is the inner servant of the former emperor, and there has always been the idea of revenge hidden in his heart.
Therefore, over the years, he has used the restaurant as a cover, made friends with many powerful people, and used his incorruptible tongue to provoke their relationship with Emperor Wen.
In the original plot line, the magnates such as King Yong and Marquis Xiaoyue of Shu were all bewitched by him and did many bad things.
But then again, even if there is no Tian Shuo, sooner or later they will still embark on this road, but it is a matter of time, just because the people's hearts are not enough.
Now, because Ling Budo found the clues of King Yong's son reselling weapons, there was a scene of Tianjia Restaurant being burned.
Yang Jiao saw the crowd around him and the panicked mood continued to spread, so he held Cheng Shaoshang's wrist:
"Let's go, Tianjia Restaurant is on the water, your father will definitely worry about your safety."
After a while, the two walked to a position not far from Tianjia Restaurant, and they heard a faint voice:
"Curl."
Cheng Shaoshang immediately looked at Yang Jiao:
"It's Father."
Yang Jiao didn't say anything, and walked towards the shouting.
When Cheng Shaoshang saw Cheng Shi, he immediately responded:
"Father, I'm here."
Cheng Shiwen went, his anxious expression couldn't help but show a touch of confusion, and he said in his heart:
"Why are you with Xu Xian again?"
Immediately, Yang Jiao let go of Cheng Shaoshang's hand:
"Let's go back."
Cheng Shaoshang's pretty face flashed with a hint of reluctance:
"Two days later, my family will hold a housewarming banquet, can you come?"
Yang Jiao smiled and asked:
"If I come to the door, people will inevitably peek into my true face during the period, and if there is a large group of girls around at that time, would you like to see it?"
Cheng Shaoshang shook his head again and again, she had been together for almost three years, how could she not know the power of the face of the person in front of her, and said busily:
"It's really a little inconvenient, so don't come."
Yang Jiao took off the white and flawless sword-shaped jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Cheng Shaoshang's hand:
"The ringing of the capital is said to be the jingling sound of the ornaments worn by the girl when she walks, which is crisp and pleasant, graceful and beautiful."
"This is my belongings, and it can also be used as a token, and if I go out of the house to attend any banquet in the future, I will bring it with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi had already walked over quickly.
"Marquis Quling, you can't come to the housewarming banquet in person in two days, please forgive me, I will prepare a thin gift then, and please don't be too shabby."
Cheng Shi replied with a smile:
"Where is Xu Gongzi, in the past few years, you have taken care of my family, and cured my second brother's leg disease, to this day, my Cheng family has never thanked Xu Gongzi, it is my Cheng family's rudeness, I want to invite Xu Gongzi Haihan."
Cheng Shaoshang raised his eyebrows and smiled coquettishly:
"I said you shouldn't be polite, if you both feel sorry for each other, you can be doubly good to me in the future."
When Cheng Shi heard this, he hurriedly signaled with his eyes, don't be rude, and then coughed dryly:
"It's not too early, so we'll go back first."
Yang Jiao arched his hand to show understanding.
Just when Cheng Shaoshang was pulled away by Cheng Shi and turned away, she smiled:
"Don't forget, you're going to teach me how to play the flute."
After speaking, without waiting for Yang Jiao to speak, Cheng Shi pulled her away quickly.
At the same time, he also whispered:
"Hey, Father admits that this Xu Xian's appearance is really extraordinary, and judging from the fact that he cured your second uncle's leg disease, that martial arts cultivation is even more beyond Father's reach, but looking for a son-in-law, it's better not to be too active, otherwise it will be easy to suffer."
Cheng Shaoshang replied in a low voice:
"I've had bad luck since I was a child, so in the matter of choosing a son-in-law, I may not be able to meet a better one if I miss it, and it is even more impossible to meet someone like Xu Xian."
"Therefore, once you meet someone who agrees with me, you must hold it firmly in the palm of your hand, otherwise a good son-in-law will get me in one round."
Cheng Shi heard the meaning of her words, and understood that his daughter still had a knot in her heart, and she couldn't forget that she was abandoned when she was a child.
Two days later, the Cheng family moved to a housewarming banquet.
Many people who have old ties with Cheng Shi have come to congratulate them.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, looking forward to his looks, wearing a gold and purple crown on his head, a red gold belt around his waist, a general's belly, his demeanor was wide open, and his domineering side leakage was walking to the Cheng Mansion with his wife.
The moment he saw Cheng Shi, he shouted out of sight:
"Brother Xian, congratulations on the housewarming, congratulations."
As soon as Cheng Shi saw him, his face was full of sincere smiles, and he arched his hand:
"Brother Wan."
Wan Jia, originally a big family in the world, has rich financial resources, because of the early death of Mrs. Wan, it all depends on Mrs. Wan to bring up her only son.
He is this middle-aged man, Wan Songbai.
Later, relying on the family wealth left by his father, he made a fortune and became a military general.
The troubled times are dangerous, and the battlefield is full of dangers, Cheng Shi sacrificed his life to protect each other and saved Wan Songbai many times.
For this reason, although he is Cheng Shi's boss, he treats him like a brother, and the children of the two families have grown up together in the military camp since childhood, so the relationship is extremely close.
So that the wealthy families bought two adjoining mansions in one go when they came to the capital.
When the two are taken together, they look down like a gourd with a small head and a big body, with a difference of about four or five times.
The Wan family gave the Cheng family half of the small house on the side and half of it as a gift, thinking that the two families would have a good response.
With the pacification of the world, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the two of them were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and the two of them were rewarded accordingly as generals who had made great contributions.
Wan Songbai was even given a new house, so he gave Cheng Shi half of the house he lived in.
