Chapter 9 The Road to Chang'an (Part I)
"Huh. The messenger looked at Su Changan flatteringly and said, "Little Hongwu, the third in the family, the little marquis can call me Hongsan." When you arrive in Kyoto, what's the use of talking in a small place. ”
"Oh. Su Chang'an said. He was still reminiscing about the decree in his heart. Hongwu's words hadn't entered his brain at all.
These reactions fell in the eyes of the people around them, but they felt that Su Changan was hidden and the pearl was hidden.
"The small one is leaving, and there are still a few places waiting for the small one to send the list. Seeing Su Changan, the man didn't seem to want to talk to him too much, and he didn't look for himself. He arched his hand, turned over his horse, and walked away.
At this time, Su Changan came back to his senses, and he looked around a little confused. only to find that those familiar residents of Nagato Town were looking at him with a very unfamiliar look at him at this moment.
There was apprehension, curiosity, and more awe.
Even Su Mo, who usually never looked at him, looked at him with wide eyes and curiosity at the moment. After all, Su Changan was just a sixteen-year-old boy, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
"Congratulations to Su Qianhu. Tiger father has no dog!" Gu Xiangting congratulated Su Tai. Now Su Taigui is a thousand households, and in terms of official position, he can already be on an equal footing with him, the Taishou of Nagato Town. In the future, Changmen Town will no longer be an era when he Gu Xiangting alone has the final say, at least on the surface, he and Su Tai are both literate and martial.
"Don't dare, don't dare. "Su Tai is not humble, his head is still dizzy, everything happened too suddenly. And although he is a big boss, he is not stupid. This Changmen Town Gu Xiang Pavilion has been in business for a long time, he has just been promoted to a thousand households, and many things still need to rely on the Gu Xiang Pavilion, so naturally he has to get along well with the Gu Xiang Pavilion. What's more, even when he was still a centurion, Gu Xiangting treated him well, and now that he is a newcomer, he must be close to Gu Xiangting in a reasonable way.
"Ling Gongzi is deeply hidden. I think I often think that my dog is already Nagato's talent, but now that I think about it, I'm really ashamed. Gu Xiangting continued to sigh. His face was a little ruddy, and he looked really ashamed. Even Gu Ning, who was beside him, lowered his head, as if he was ashamed of his past self-righteousness.
"The virtue of Gu Gongzi is obvious to all in Nagato Town. My kid stepped on shit luck out of nowhere. Speaking of which, even I don't know at this time, my mouth is tight enough. Saying that, Su Tai couldn't help but pat Su Changan's shoulder a little proudly.
Su Changan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Xindao: Don't say you don't know, if I had known, would I have been worried for so long?
"The little lord probably wants to surprise you too. Gu Xiangting said, "By the way, Brother Su, it's a long way to Chang'an, I don't know if you can arrange how to go to Chang'an for the lord?"
"Huh?" Su Tai was stunned, he was a rough man, he just thought about sending Su Chang'an to Chang'an to study, and he didn't think much about other things at all. At this moment, Gu Xiangting mentioned that he remembered that Chang'an Changmen was thousands of miles away, and if he let his children go alone, it would definitely not be reassuring. But I can't think of a good way for a while, but I don't want to lose face in front of the blind date in Nagato Town. He said with a haha, "Why are you going?" let this kid go by himself. ”
"Brother Su laughed, you don't think it's better to be like this, let your little lord and the dog go together. I hired Liu Darttou's dart team to escort the dogs, and Su Mo, Ji Dao, and Lin Ru will also accompany at that time. The juniors are all the same age in the same township, and they are close to each other on the road, and they can also take care of each other when they arrive in Chang'an. Brother Gu, what do you think?" Gu Xiangting probably also expected that Su Tai was not prepared, so he proposed a method that he had already thought of. The wording was subtle, which not only solved Su Tai's difficulties, but also saved his face.
"Okay!" Before Su Tai could agree, Su Changan on the side heard that he could go the same way as Su Mo, so he hurriedly agreed.
"There's no place for you little kid to interject when adults talk. Su Tai glanced at Su Changan. Turning his head and smiling, he said to Gu Xiangting: "Then it's troublesome Brother Gu." ”
"Haha, Brother Su is outside. If you're happy today, why don't you go to the house with me for a few drinks? Gu Xiangting warmly invited.
"How many drinks?" In recent years, in order to make up enough money for Su Chang'an in Chang'an, Su Tai has been frugal, and even chose the cheapest wine to drink. And the ancient phase pavilion is the most long-term guard, and there is naturally some good wine at home, just thinking of this, Su Tai's eyes have lit up, and his index finger has moved. "I'm so happy today, how can I have a drink, today I will not get drunk with my brother Gu. ”
Only then did Gu Xiangting remember Su Tai's habit of drinking in Nagato Town. His face changed, and he secretly sighed that his pot of good monkey wine might not be able to be saved.
Several of the students who made it to the banquet were invited, along with their parents, and everyone was on a happy occasion. Naturally, they are all toasts and drinks, and a few rounds down. It's really a happy face for both the host and the guest, so it's not lively.
When he came back from Gu Xiangting's residence, Su Changan helped his drunken father and stumbled back to his residence.
"On weekdays, I don't say that I can't pour a thousand cups, but after just a few drinks, Uncle Gu poured it like this. Su Changan said in fragments.
As he spoke, he put Su Tai on the bed, and he turned his head to boil some hot water, which he liked to drink when he was drunk. saw that Su Tai didn't have any drunkenness on his face, but looked at him directly.
Su Changan was furious, and secretly thought that his father was going to ask about the Holy Decree. He never mentioned this matter to his father, first, Su Tai was busy with the war during that time, and he didn't have much time at home. The second is that Su Changan faintly felt that this matter was too incredible, so he was reluctant to mention it to others. But at this time, the decree has come down, and I can't hide it. He said it in his heart, and he heard from today's holy decree that the Holy Emperor seemed to think that the master had killed the master, so he could never tell his father the truth. Su Tai is an alcoholic, if he loses his words after drinking one day, he will not be killed.
After finishing the draft, Su Changan looked at Su Tai and said, "Didn't you drink too much?"
"Drink too much? Will you drink too much? Can he drink too much from his Gu Xiangting? Lao Tzu is not drunk with a thousand cups. "Su Tai hates it most in his life when people question his drinking.
Su Changan glanced at his mouth, and thought in his heart that Uncle Fang Cai Gu toasted to the visitors one by one, drinking cup by cup, and his face did not change after five rounds, and he was still talking and laughing. On the other hand, his father, after a few glasses of wine, his face is red and his ears are red, which is higher or lower, do you need to say?
"So what are you?" thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to brush his father's face.
"Lie to that kid in Gu Xiangting, I want to come back early, I have something I want to ask you?"
Su Changan said in his heart, but he was already prepared, and when he was about to say what he had thought, he heard Su Tai continue.
"I see that your kid has been staring at Su Mo just now, and you have fallen in love with others from time to time?" Su Tai asked very seriously.
"Ah!" Su Changan didn't count even though Su Tai would ask at this time. As if the secret in his heart was seen through at once, his face turned rosy. I couldn't say a word for a long time.
Although Su Tai is a rough man, the affairs of men and women are the ones who come after all. Looking at Su Changan's appearance, he still doesn't understand his child's thoughts. He sat up and asked, "Then did you tell Su Mo?"
Su Changan shook his head.
"You coward!" Su Tai vigorously pushed Su Changan's head with his hand. A look of lamentation for its misfortune and anger for it. "If your dad had been as cowardly as you back then, there would have been no you!"
Su Changan blushed and didn't dare to talk.
"Su Mo's family is good! If you take Su Mo, then Nagato Academy will not be our family. All the way to Chang'an, you have to get along with others, strive to win it as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for our old Su family. Su Tai looked longing, and the look in his eyes seemed to be able to see his son's future of both wealth and wealth.
Su Mo's father, Su He, is the dean of Changmen Academy, of course, he can't compare with the academy in Chang'an, but he is also one of the best people in Changmen Town. In normal times, although Su Tai has the same surname as his family, he can't afford to climb high. But now it's different, Su Changan has been knighted, and in terms of status, even Gu Xiangting can't compare with him. Su Tai naturally started Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
Su Changan was unhappy, he felt that his pure love for Momo had been tainted by his father's worldly money. He looked at Su Tai indignantly and said, "A gentleman values righteousness, and a villain loves money!"
Su Tai's face suddenly became ugly, he pointed at Su Changan's nose, and shouted: "You dare to teach you Lao Tzu! What a gentleman and villain! Where did you learn this!"
"It's written in the book!" Su Changan thought about Momo, and rarely straightened up in front of his father.
"What a broken book! Lao Tzu will burn it now. Su Tai was even more angry in his heart, and stared at Su Changan with wide eyes.
"Said by a swordsman in "Demon Warrior". Seeing this, Su Changan's momentum suddenly weakened a lot.
"What kind of monster and chivalrous man, how many times has Lao Tzu told you that you are not allowed to read these broken books!" Although Su Tai has not read books for a few days, he also knows that most of these strange novels are playthings and despair. was resentful in his heart, and he was about to beat Su Changan.
"However, my master said it was a good book. Su Changan whispered, he was even more panicked, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't be a hero in front of his father. Besides, Momo is no longer in front of her, and she won't know that she is fighting for her and her father, so this beating is not in vain.
"Your master?" Su Tai paused with his raised hand, who was Su Changan's master, and he couldn't remember the name clearly. But his ancestor is shaking light, and he is a big man. The books that his master likes, the shaking light should not be hated.
Thinking of the shaking light that although he has fallen for ten years, his prestige is as good as ever. Su Taidi's face became ugly, he withdrew his hand, smiled wryly, waved his hand and said, "Ahem, since your master likes it, then forget it, don't burn." ”
