Chapter 8: You Are My Uncle
Meng Changqing lowered his head and thought, what kind of road is this?
Teardrops of bean size fell on Meng Changqing's washed hair, smashing her into a daze.
As soon as she wanted to take a step back, she was pressed into her arms by this person, who said excitedly: "Child! It's so nice to see you! ”
Meng Changqing's stomach screamed at this time, and the strong man sniffed, "What?" Haven't eaten yet? He turned his head and strode out, standing outside the door and shouting, "Someone! Go to the kitchen and cook something, be quick! ”
He stood outside and wiped his face before entering, and as soon as he came in, he took out a fire fold from his cuff and lit half a candle from the lampshade.
"Son, come and sit here." He placed the candle on the round table.
Meng Changqing walked over, thanked my lord, and then sat down.
The prefect said: "It's too foreign, I have a lifelong friendship with your father, although my official rank is far inferior to your father, but your father is a person who has survived from a hard life, never despises us subordinates, and is often commensurate with our brothers."
I'm ashamed to say, you still have to call me uncle. ”
Meng Changqing stood up at that time and bowed to the strong man: "My nephew is visiting my uncle." ”
Wei Fangyun immediately helped him up, "Okay, good." He looked at Meng Changqing carefully by candlelight, "Your eyebrows and eyes look very much like your father." ”
Of course, she thought in her heart, but she pretended to regret on her face, "It's a pity that I haven't met my father." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Fangyun's eyes turned red again, "Your father is a rare hero, and your family ...... All good! ”
He adjusted his mood and said, "I saw that you came safe and sound, so that my heart could be put back in my stomach." Wei Fangyun said, "More than 20 days ago, the yamen received an urgent edict from the emperor, saying that you had offended Concubine Xiao and that it would not be safe for you to stay in the capital, so let you come to me temporarily."
I wanted to send troops to pick you up when I saw the secret edict, but Jie Maru has recently attacked Weishan Pass many times, and I really can't spare my energy, and I don't know which way you came from, for fear of missing it, so I had to order the officials in the house, once I wait for you, I must ask you to stay. ”
So that's what happened.
It was because of the prefect's concern that she was hungry for a long time.
As a new official, Meng Changqing's focus naturally falls on the affairs of the government, "Weishan Pass is a high mountain sandwiched by a moat, and Jiemaru knows that it is difficult to break, how can he impact it many times?" ”
Wei Fangyun praised: "He is worthy of being the son of General Meng, he remembers the terrain at a young age, and he knows how to think about the reason for the dispute." ”
"Uncle praised it falsely, I was the prince's companion in the palace, and I occasionally heard the prince talk about it."
Wei Fangyun took a sip of cold tea and explained: "This place of Jiemaru is mostly a savage tribe.
It was a group of uncivilized people, who could neither farm nor raise livestock, and the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn were fine, they could pick wild fruits and catch wild animals, but once it was winter, they had nothing to eat, so they could only rob others.
Every winter, they will attack Weishan Pass or Yan Kingdom, which is a common thing, so there is no need to worry. ”
Speaking of this, the two officials walked in briskly carrying a steaming iron pot, "My lord, I made a pot of gnocchi soup." ”
One of the officials took out two pairs of chopsticks from his bosom, and as he put them on the table, he asked, "Do you want to pickle radish?" ”
"You still need to ask, of course take it." Wei Fangyun said, "You go and get some wine, and if there is a happy event today, you should drink a few bowls." ”
"Uncle." Meng Changqing spoke, "Can you trouble the official to get another pair of chopsticks?" This attendant of mine is hungry too. ”
"I was negligent, go get clean dishes and chopsticks again." Wei Fangyun asked Bafang to sit down, and put two bowls full of pimple soup in front of them, "You eat first, at your age, you are the most hungry." ”
Bafang looked at the pimple soup in front of him, didn't know whether to move or not, and looked at Meng Changqing for help.
Meng Changqing turned to the side slightly, "Uncle takes care of you, thank you very much." ”
"Thank you, Prefect." Bafang stood in a hurry, almost knocking over the bowl in front of him.
"Sit down, sit down, eat."
When he said this, Meng Changqing still didn't move, he had been waiting for an afternoon, and he didn't have to wait for a while.
Fortunately, the two servants came quickly.
Meng Changqing's eyes were quick, he took the dishes and chopsticks from the servants' hands, and filled a full bowl for Wei Fangyun.
It's all now, don't pretend, eat.
Meng Changqing was so hungry that he didn't care about his image at all, picked up the bowl and poured it violently, and only after a bowl did he feel that he was alive.
Wei Fangyun didn't eat much himself, and saw Meng Changqing fill her up immediately after eating.
"Eat! Don't be polite here at Uncle, I'll talk about it when I'm full! ”
Meng Changqing finished drinking the second bowl, and saw that Wei Fangyun wanted to add it to her, so he immediately refused, "I'm full of uncle." ”
Wei Fangyun added the spoonful to Bafang, who was still eating, "Your entourage is better than you can eat." ”
Happo was embarrassed, and the chopsticks that pulled the gnocchi stopped.
Wei Fangyun realized that there was something wrong with his words, and added: "You are the time to grow your body, it is a good thing to be able to eat, the more you eat, the stronger you will grow in the future." ”
His gaze was fixed on Bafang's face, and he suddenly said, "This kid who followed you, why do I look a little familiar?" ”
Meng Changqing put away the handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said: "When Bafang's father joined the army, he was assigned to the Meng family's army, I'm afraid you have seen his father." ”
"It turned out to be a descendant of the Meng family." Wei Fangyun asked again, "Is your father's surname Zhang?" ”
Bafang put down his chopsticks and replied, "I don't remember my father's name, I have to ask my wife to find out." ”
Meng Changqing explained, "According to my mother, Bafang was still in infancy, and he was carried home by my father, who grew up in Meng's family since he was a child, and his mother rarely said about his life experience, so he had no impression of his parents." ”
"If that's the case, then your father's surname is Zhang." Wei Fangyun said to Bafang, "Your father's name is Zhang Fa, when the Yan people invaded the border town, your father died on the battlefield, and your mother was also killed by the Yan people who entered the city.
Later, General Meng took us to repel the Yan people and saved you and another child. ”
Bafang was caught off guard when he heard his life experience, he only knew that his father died on the battlefield, but he didn't know that his mother also died at the hands of Yan Ren.
He was hung on a beam to pick up a life.
In the last half bowl of pimple soup, he ate it with his heart and lungs, and he didn't know what to do when he was uncomfortable.
Meng Changqing patted him on the back, and said to Wei Fangyun: "I also have an entourage called Cai, who entered the mansion with Bafang, presumably he is the other child." ”
Wei Fangyun sighed, "I didn't expect to see you again after many years, since you are Zhang Fa's son, you have to call me uncle." ”
Meng Changqing kicked him under the table, "Scream." ”
Bafang immediately knelt down, "Meet Uncle Wei." ”
The imaginary scene of meeting the boss turned out to be a scene of confession.
