Chapter 35: Aunt and Nephew Meet
Just as Wang Yuanheng was thinking about how to answer, suddenly, a tall young beggar walked out of the crowd and came to Wang Yuanheng and immediately called 'Master' and bowed.
The person who came was Wang Yuanheng's registered disciple Hong Qi. He is now a disciple of the 'Dirty Clothes Faction', because his grandfather Hong Xian has a high rank in the gang, and Hong Qi is usually a chivalrous and righteous person; therefore, although Hong Qi is not the leader of the 'Dirty Clothes Faction' disciples, he also has a high prestige.
Seeing that the person who came was actually Hong Qi's master, the disciples of the 'Dirty Clothes Sect' in the audience immediately began to make noise.
After dinner that day, when Wang Yuanheng was chatting with Hong Qi, he saw Cao Dayuan running to Hong Qi in a panic and said, "Brother Hong, go and have a look with your master!"
Wang Yuanheng was taken aback, and when Cao Dayuan sat down and asked the reason, he realized that most of the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect were joined by people who had families and businesses or were frustrated in life because they admired the power of the 'Huazi Gang'; however, they were not accustomed to this kind of extremely hard life, so they often did some acts of plundering past officials and businessmen.
Because they knew that these officials and businessmen had easy money, the gang leaders of all generations turned a blind eye to this.
As long as no one is killed, they are allowed to mess around, and over time, the bad habit of the Purifying Clothes has been passed down.
Today, Cao Dayuan got the news: when the Pure Clothes Faction didn't know which official who passed by Caizhou and wanted to make a move, he ran to report in a panic because he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with it alone.
After listening, Wang Yuanheng didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed Cao Dayuan with Hong Qi to watch. When he arrived at the scene, Wang Yuanheng did not rush forward, and only hid in the dark with Hong Qi and the others to investigate carefully.
I saw that dozens of disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect on the official road had surrounded an official sedan chair, a line of followers and more than a dozen boxes.
When a disciple of the Purifying Clothes Sect opened the curtain of the sedan chair and scolded the people in the sedan chair, a man with a ding appearance immediately shouted, "Bold thief, the princess is here, who dares to be disrespectful!"
The person in the sedan turned out to be a princess! But looking at the sedan chair, it was obviously just an extremely ordinary official sedan chair.
The disciple of the Pure Clothes Sect didn't believe it at all, and after picking up the wooden stick in his hand to knock down the family, when he wanted to pull out the person in the sedan chair, Wang Yuanheng immediately shouted, 'Stop!'
He appeared before the people. After Wang Yuanheng first helped the beaten family up, and when he was about to reprimand the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect, the people in the sedan chair had already walked out.
When she looked at Wang Yuanheng's face, she was stunned for a moment, and then changed to a look of tears.
At this time, Cao Dayuan and Hong Qi had also appeared. When the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect saw that the situation was not good, they didn't care about anything else, and immediately fled in all directions.
After the crowd dispersed, the woman in the sedan chair withdrew a few followers, but asked Wang Yuanheng, "Can the hero follow the old man to my sedan chair?"
Wang Yuanheng looked at this woman and saw that she was about forty years old, although she was wearing ordinary clothes, but there was a faint hint of grace and luxury between her eyebrows, and she was inviolable.
Seeing that her face was extremely kind, and her voice was full of love, Wang Yuanheng didn't think much about it, so he followed her into the sedan chair.
After sitting down, the woman asked, "Dare to ask the hero's name, can you tell me?" Wang Yuanheng didn't know how to answer for a while, so he hesitated and said, "The villain, the villain, the villain is just a grass people, don't say the name!"
The woman did not ask any more questions, but began to weep to herself. When she was young, she took out another thing and handed it to Wang Yuanheng, 'Have you ever seen this thing?'
When Wang Yuanheng saw it, his heart was immediately shocked. It turned out that the woman took out a jade lock that was exactly the same as the one that Wang Yuanheng had worn on his body since he was a child.
After confirming that this jade lock was the same as his own, Wang Yuanheng asked, 'Where did you get this thing from?' but the woman did not answer, but only sighed and said, "If I expected it right, you must have an identical jade lock on you!"
Is it or not?' Wang Yuanheng was surprised, and immediately took off the jade lock around his neck and compared it with the woman's jade lock.
When the woman saw the jade lock, she became even more agitated, and she burst into tears. The cry immediately alarmed the family in the distance, and they gathered in front of the sedan chair to inquire.
The woman ignored the family's inquiries and ordered them to stay farther away. Although Wang Yuanheng felt a little weird, he saw that the woman kept crying, he couldn't sit or persuade him, and he stayed on the spot for a while.
When she was young, the woman stopped crying, but suddenly turned her face and said, 'You are not a nameless grass people, but you are actually the grandson of the emperor of the dynasty;
Little minion, don't you hurry up and recruit your aunt from the truth!' Wang Yuanheng was startled, and didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he quickly and obediently told the woman his name.
The woman did not speak, but only stared straight at Wang Yuanheng's face and said, "As soon as I saw you, I expected that you must be a descendant of my Zhao family, but unexpectedly, you have fallen to this."
Wang Yuanheng was even more surprised, so he told the woman a little about his life experience. After hearing this, the woman immediately hugged Wang Yuanheng and cried, "My hard-working child, my aunt is looking for you so hard!
Wang Yuanheng was held in the woman's arms at this time, although he did not dare to come out, but he had secretly determined that the woman was his relative.
After a long time, after the woman's mood calmed down, Wang Yuanheng realized that Taizu had four sons and six daughters, and except for a few who died young, the woman in front of him was the eldest daughter of the general Shi Shouxin's son, 'Princess Luguo', who was arranged by Taizu to marry.
After clarifying the origin, Wang Yuanheng looked at his aunt's outfit and wondered in his heart: "Aunt is a princess, but why is she so simple?"
'Princess Lu Guo set up the way of God', which has something to do with your grandfather's daily teachings. Then, she told Wang Yuanheng an anecdote from her home when she was a teenager.
That was after Taizu ascended the throne: at that time, Taizu's life was still relatively simple. I often wear old clothes and tell the palace people, 'Although they are old clothes, they are better than new clothes when they are washed.'
Hearing him say this, others did not dare to say much, so most of the cars and clothes in which Taizu rode were plain, and even the curtains in the palace were not ornately decorated.
Once, when he found the princess of Lu wearing a dress decorated with kingfisher feathers, he said to the princess, 'From now on, you will not wear such clothes again!'
But the princess disagreed, and said, "How many green feathers are used for this dress?" Taizu was not angry, but still patiently said to the princess, "It's not this dress!"
It's just that as soon as you wear it, inside and outside the palace will compete to imitate it. The price of green feathers is expensive, and some people will take the opportunity to resell it to harm the people; you were born in wealth, and you must know that cherishing blessings is.
Another time, when the princess saw that Taizu's car was very ordinary, she asked him, 'Father, you have become the Son of Heaven, can't you still decorate the car with gold?'
Taizu said solemnly: "I am rich all over the world, even if I decorate the palace with gold and silver, I can do it, but I am guarding the wealth of the world, how can I use it in vain!"
As the old saying goes, 'One man rules the world, not one man serves one!'
