Chapter 44: There is a girl in the Wei family who grows up
The courtyard of the Qingzhou magistrate's yamen is different from that of the commander's yamen, and all the previous magistrates are from literati. The backyard of the magistrate's yamen is mostly filled with towering pavilions, towering pavilions, lush trees, mountains and rocks, and the scenery is very beautiful, so even if
At this time, it has already entered the harsh winter, but you can still vaguely imagine the beautiful scenery in summer.
In an exquisite courtyard in the backyard, there is a small flower garden, in which dozens of plum blossoms are blooming proudly in the cold wind. Not far in front of the flower garden is a small five-cornered pavilion with stone tables and wooden benches.
There are several clumps of bamboo planted next to it. At this time, the stone table in this small pavilion is filled with exquisite side dishes. There is also a small charcoal stove in the corner of the stone table. The blue color in the charcoal stove
The flames were clearly visible, and an exquisitely crafted curved-mouth wine pot was placed on the charcoal stove, emitting faint white smoke, and waves of wine aroma wafted out of the wine pot.
Wei Tongnian, the prefect of Qingzhou, was wearing scarlet civilian clothes. He was sitting on a wooden bench, holding a wine glass in his hand and drinking it in one gulp. Then he closed his eyes and savored the fragrance on his lips and teeth. He stroked the three sides of his chin.
The man with a long beard smiled and said: "I heard that the plum blossoms are blooming at dawn, and the snow is piled all over the four mountains. Where can I transform into a thousand billion plum blossoms and an old man blooming? Man Tiao, do you think this poem can be suitable for today's scene?"
"Pfft!" A clear laughter sounded next to him, "Dad, my daughter knows that you admire Fang Wenggong the most, but you can't always keep this poem on your lips. Is daddy comparing himself to Fang Wenggong?
?”
Wei Tongnian pretended to be angry and said, "You man, do you think your father is so miserable in your heart?"
"Well, dad is a good official, but it's a pity that he is still a little worse than Fang Gonggong! Hehehe..." A clear laughter floated in the small pavilion.
"Okay, you two are really like fathers, and daughters are not like daughters. There is really nothing we can do about you." Another gentle and mature female voice sounded from the side.
"Chuck cluck..." The crisp laughter floated in the air again. If someone had painted the scene in the pavilion, it would have been a picture of a happy and harmonious family.
Just a voice quickly interrupted this scene. A servant in a green robe and a small hat quickly came over and reported: "Sir, there is someone outside asking to see you!"
"Well!" Wei Tongnian, who had his family happiness interrupted, said displeasedly: "Asshole, don't you know that I don't want to see outsiders today? Not to mention what kind of military master it is!"
The servant said with a sad face: "I told him even though I was in charge, but he said that he had something important to see the master. If he didn't, I would not be able to bear the consequences. I was afraid of delaying the master's important matter, so I just passed it."
Reported."
Wei Tongnian said displeasedly: "You idiot, you are so scared that you are so scared. Fortunately, you are from my Wei family, why are you so useless?"
"Yes, yes, yes... I will drive him away immediately." The servant said as he bent down and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.
"Wait a minute!" A gentle and melodious voice sounded, "Who is the person outside asking to see you? Whose name is he? Doesn't he know that the master doesn't see visitors on the fifteenth day of every month?"
The servant stopped and whispered: "Replying to Madam, the military master claimed to be from Baihu who came from Wanghai Fort, Lingshan Guard Station, and his name was Pang Gang."
"Pang Gang!" A low voice shouted in the pavilion, "What is he doing here?"
Then Wei Tongnian asked: "Did he come alone?"
"Sir, no, there are seven or eight soldiers behind him. They all look fierce, so fierce!"
"That's right! Then let him come over." Wei Tong young sighed softly, waved his hand to dismiss the servant, then stretched out his hand to rub the temples next to his forehead. After a while, he asked with some confusion: "Rou'er,
This Pang Gang was kind to you in the beginning, but I have given him a future as a hundred households. It stands to reason that we have settled things down with him, but why did he come today? Does he want to ask for anything again?
Is this my job?"
Sitting on the right side of Wei Tongnian is a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a fur coat. Her hair is tall and pulled up into a conch shape. Her pupils are bright and charming. She is charming and seductive. She is the one who was brought back by Pang Gang that day.
That concubine Rou Niang who was the same year as Wei.
I saw Rou Niang gently comforting Wei Tongnian and said: "Master, didn't you admire this Pang Baihu very much at the beginning? Since he came all the way to see him in the ice and snow, we can't just go back to him, after all.
He saved my life back then!"
Wei Tongnian sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I will make an exception to see him today. If he has any difficulties, I will try my best to help him. That will make it all right!"
"Then do you want me and Man Ting to avoid it first?"
"No, it's okay if you're not here. Since the savior is here, it's unreasonable to avoid him."
"Yes, the master is still so kind-hearted..."
While he was talking, there was a "squeaking" sound of treading on the snow. The servant who had just come to report quickly led a tall officer wearing a big red mandarin duck jacket and strode over. This man strode over.
The officer walked to the small pavilion, knelt down and bowed down and said loudly: "Pang Gang, a hundred households in Wanghai Fort, a humble official, comes to see the magistrate!"
"Pang Baihu, please get up and come closer to speak!" Wei Tongnian's always gentle voice rang out.
"Thank you, sir!"
Pang Gang took advantage of the situation and stood up, strode to the pavilion, and then looked straight ahead, and found Wei Tongnian sitting in the pavilion, looking at him with gentle and majestic eyes. Beside him sat two female family members, one of them
One person is the beautiful concubine of the same year of Wei whom he rescued last time. She is very different from the pitiful appearance she had when she fell into Wang Dazi's hands. Dressed in a snow-white fur coat, she is shown to be noble, enchanting and beautiful.
The spring in the eyes captivates the soul.
Sitting on the other side of Wei Tongnian was a beautiful woman in her twenties. She was extremely elegant, with an aura of lightness, delicate skin, a leisurely look, beautiful eyes, and a smile on her cheeks.
She kept her words in her mouth, her breath was like an orchid, and she was indescribably gentle and lovely. Such a beautiful woman made Pang Gang stunned.
After finally Pang came back to his senses, he found that Wei Tongnian and the concubine beside him were looking at him with a smile. Pang Gang's old face turned red and he bowed to Wei Tongnian again and said: "Last time, I was wrongly loved by my lord, so I got the honor of my humble position."
As I hold the post of Hundred Households, I have never personally thanked you in person. This time, I came here to thank you in person, and secondly, I have something to ask for help from."
"Oh?" Wei Tongnian said noncommittally: "Pang Baihu, you are a garrison guard at the guard station, and I am a civilian. I can't think of anything I can do to help you."
After listening to Wei Tongnian's words, Pang Gang sighed secretly. Although Wei Tongnian's demeanor was still gentle, there was a hint of rejection in his tone. Sure enough, it seemed that he had pushed himself to the position of Baihu last time.
He saved his wife and concubines as a favor!
Thinking of this, Pang Gang thought maliciously, "I wonder if the prefect noticed that his hat already had a green glow."
However, he still replied respectfully: "To tell you what my lord, what I came to ask for this time is related to people's livelihood!"
"Is it related to people's livelihood?"
Several soft murmurs sounded simultaneously in the small pavilion.
