Because the Chang Yi brothers were outside to guide the attention of interested people, Chang Tianlei and the others entered the capital smoothly. At least they did not attract anyone's attention on their way forward.
Moreover, Chang Yi and the others also pretended to walk around the capital and then went back. The people who secretly peeped at them not only found nothing, but also made a lot of mistakes. Everyone secretly cursed them as a group of foxes.
"Grandpa, your grandson is unfilial and has made you worried." Chang Tianlei, who returned to the general's mansion smoothly, knelt in front of General Chang without even changing his clothes. He looked at the relatives he had not seen for a long time. Chang Tianlei
His voice was choked with sobs.
"Good boy, get up quickly. I'm going to suffer a lot for you." General Chang has gone through a big change, and he feels very sorry for his only grandson. What's more, the appearance of Chang Tianlei kneeling in front of him is really pitiful.
His clothes and face were covered with dust, and he looked very different from the young man in the greenhouse before the accident.
So when General Chang saw Chang Tianlei, he burst into tears with excitement and hurriedly helped him up, "Lei'er, first go burn incense sticks for your grandmother, father and mother, and tell them that you have returned safely."
"Yes, grandson, let's go now." Under the guidance of the servant, Chang Tianlei came to the Buddhist hall where three people's tablets were enshrined. When he saw the three cold tablets, his sad tears could no longer be stopped. He was sad.
He shouted "Grandma, father, mother, unfilial son and grandson Chang Tianlei is back."
"He knelt down in front of the memorial tablet with a plop, and kowtowed deeply three times. "My grandson will never let grandpa worry about you anymore, or let you down." Chang Tianlei swore in front of the three memorial tablets. "
The grandson will definitely inherit his grandfather's legacy. Kill the enemy on the battlefield and protect his grandfather."
General Chang was listening to Chang Tianlei's grown-up voice and words outside the door. He was very excited and very pleased. Then he quietly walked away, no longer disturbing Chang Tianlei who was kneeling in the Buddhist hall.
"See General." General Chang returned to the front hall and sat on a chair. Chang Shi and Chang's mother came forward to pay their respects.
"It's really hard for you for Lei'er." Although General Chang didn't know the details, he knew from the three people's changed appearance when they returned to the capital that they had spent so much effort to protect Chang Tianlei.
"The general's words are serious. It's natural for us to work for the general." Although General Chang sincerely thanked Chang Shi and Chang's mother, Chang Shi and Chang Shi refused to accept it at all. They only said that they had done their duty.
obligation.
"Oh, you don't tell me, but I know it. Not only are we who escorted him back, but Tianlei has also been in need of your care in the past two years."
"General, we actually didn't do anything." Chang Shi knew very well that if Lin Zhu hadn't taken them in regardless of past suspicions, their lives might not have been so easy and comfortable, and they wouldn't have returned to the capital so smoothly. "Thanks.
Miss Lin Zhu took us in."
"I want to thank Miss Lin properly." General Chang nodded, "Didn't you say that she also came to Beijing? Why didn't she come to the mansion with you?"
"General. Miss, she doesn't want to attract too much attention." Chang's mother on the side also replied in a low voice.
"That's surprising." Although General Chang understood that if it was revealed that Lin Zhu was the one who saved Chang Tianlei, then not only the General's Mansion but also the Emperor and Concubine Lan would reward her greatly. And she was tantamount to letting her
Concubine Lan of the General's Mansion owed her a huge favor. If she made good use of it, she would have nothing to worry about in her life.
"Where is Miss Lin now? I will pay her a visit in person when I am free one day." General Chang was very curious about Lin Zhu.
Chang Shi and Chang's mother looked at each other. They both felt that General Chang should not be allowed to see Lin Zhu, but they couldn't think of a good reason to refuse.
"Grandpa, didn't your visit make her more eye-catching?" Chang Tianlei, who had already washed himself, said from the door.
"Lei'er, come here." General Chang waved to him, "Tell grandpa about this girl Lin Zhu. You have to thank her personally." General Chang also defended Lin Zhu when he saw Chang Tianlei.
, I became even more curious.
Chang Shi and Chang's mother wisely left the front hall, allowing them to talk to each other.
Chang Tianlei carefully described to General Chang how he met Lin Zhu. From Chang's mother to returning to the capital, he told him everything about Lin Zhu.
"According to what you said, this little girl Lin Zhu is a very far-sighted person. Is she really just over ten years old?" After hearing Chang Tianlei's description, General Chang expressed doubts about Lin Zhu's age.
Those who knew her thought she was an older woman who had seen through the world. It is hard to understand that she knew how to hide her edge and keep her power secret at such a young age.
"Grandpa, have you ever heard about special white rice in the past few days since you came back?" Chang Tianlei decided to give an example to explain it better.
"Well, I know this. I also heard that the capital is very lively because of this special white rice." After General Chang came back, he was summoned by the emperor and given rice. He was fortunate enough to taste the special white rice.
Interesting. Now that I think about it, I still feel like my mouth is drooling.
"When I was in Linjia Village, the rice I ate every day was all made of special white rice." Chang Tianlei smiled and said something that made General Chang stunned.
"How is that possible?" General Chang's eyes widened at that time.
"Grandpa, I brought back a few jars of rice wine. If you try it later, you will know that what I said is true." At this moment, Chang Tianlei suddenly remembered that he still had five jars of rice wine at Chang Shi's place. "Grandpa, Uncle Shi just said
Where did you go?" Chang Tianlei still called Chang Shi the same name he called Chang Shi when he was in Linjia Village.
"Didn't he just go out? He should have gone to find Chang Yi and the others. We haven't seen each other for so long, so we must catch up on old times." General Chang didn't know why he was talking about drinking just now, but in the blink of an eye he rushed to Chang Shi
What happened to him?
"If it's broken, the wine will definitely be divided among them." Chang Shi sat on the chair very frustrated. Five jars of wine, one jar for each person, was just right.
"What kind of good wine makes you feel so distressed? Just drink it if they drink it. Grandpa will get you some tribute wine in a few days." General Chang wanted to make up for his lost grandson now.
Second, he felt that he was too harsh to him before, which made Chang Tianlei not very close to him. Now their relationship is much better than before, and General Chang doesn't want to ruin this relationship.
"Grandpa, these rice wines are all made by Mr. Du Hengdu using special white rice. I finally got ten jars from Lin Zhu, the little buckleman, and now half of them are drunk by Uncle Ten and the others." Chang Tianlei said regretfully.
said.
"Oh, that old boy Du Heng brewed it himself?" General Chang raised his eyebrows, "Let's go." He stood up and waved at Chang Tianlei.
"Grandpa, where do you want to go?" Chang Tianlei failed to follow General Chang's thinking.
"Haha, it's rare for you to have such filial piety, let's go get drunk and then rest." General Chang took the lead and walked out with a smile.
Chang Tianlei immediately turned to stone. Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot. How could he forget that his grandfather loved wine? Not only did he forget, but he also exposed his collection. Especially about wine making.
The master told me, didn't this just hit the muzzle of grandpa's gun?
It would be useless to regret it anymore. At this time, General Chang was waiting for him not far away, and he was already a little impatient. It seemed that his drinking bug had been hooked.
General Chang wanted to drink. He wanted to drink very much now. Firstly, he was happy that his grandson finally came back safely. Secondly, he wanted to pay homage. If there really are spirits in heaven, then the three people who have passed away should be able to be in heaven.
See their wish has come true.
On the table in the dining room, General Chang had already ordered people to prepare side dishes for drinking, fried peanuts.
"Come on, Tianlei, this is the best dish to go with wine. You bring all the wine first, grandpa is waiting for you." Although as a junior, Chang Tianlei really wanted to say something to his grandpa, your current
He looks really like a fox, and you take out everything? Do you really want to keep none for yourself?
Although he thought so in his heart, Chang Tianlei quickly took the wine back. They were survivors, so it was understandable to celebrate each other. How could he release the depression in his heart without wine? How could grandpa be freed from self-blame without wine?
?
As soon as Chang Tianlei came back, he discovered that although General Chang didn't show it to the outside, he was still blaming himself. He believed that all this was his own fault. If he could be more careful, maybe others wouldn't take advantage of the loophole.
, by making a good home like it is now, the wife, son, daughter-in-law may not die, and the grandson will not have to live outside and suffer.
"Here we come," Chang Tianlei came back with two jars of wine and put the wine on the table. General Chang couldn't wait to open one of the jars, and a smell of wine filled his nostrils.
"Good wine." General Chang couldn't help shouting softly. Although it looked like simple rice wine, the taste was really amazing. General Chang poured himself a glass of wine, and then took a sip to taste the taste.
, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Until this moment, General Chang believed that what Chang Tianlei said was all the truth.
He put down the wine glass, "No wonder such a young child already knows how to protect himself wisely?" General Chang rubbed the wine glass, "With such a rare thing, how can a little girl like her keep it?"
"Grandpa, now all Lin Zhu's special seeds have been sold to Muyue Trading Company. For the seeds on one hundred acres of land, he received one hundred thousand taels of silver." Although Chang Tianlei didn't know the details of Muyue Trading Company, he might have paid the right price.
From Lu Mingtao's observation, he could also guess that the person behind Mu Yue Trading Company must be very powerful.
"Hehehehe, what a good calculation!" After listening to Chang Tianlei's words, General Chang suddenly laughed and said this. He didn't know whether he was talking about Lin Zhu or Muyue Trading Company. "Interesting, interesting.
." He didn't know who he was referring to, which made Chang Tianlei confused.
