In the afternoon, five days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Zexu arrived at Dama City. This time he entered the city more smoothly because there were people waiting there before he even reached the city gate.
He Zexu was very excited. It seemed that Sanniang was looking forward to him day and night. She must have arranged for General An to be here waiting to welcome him.
"How is your wife?" He Zexu asked very casually, suppressing his excitement.
Xiao An smiled and said, "Well, Madam, she is very good." She was just wondering where to hide from the sky.
"Your Majesty, have you eaten lunch yet?" Xiao An asked quickly. In fact, Xiao An was also very excited at this time.
Can you be excited? This is dad, my biological dad!
After thinking about it and hoping for it for so many years, we finally saw the light of day.
My mother and my father would have known each other earlier, and the whole family would be reunited, and they would be called father, and this father would not have to worry about being sworn brothers with his son!
Xiao An is actually looking forward to what kind of reaction this father will have when he knows that he is his son.
Is it a surprise or a shock? Do you feel embarrassed because you thought about having to become sworn brothers before?
"We haven't had lunch yet," He Zexu said immediately, thinking that when we have dinner later, there should be sweet and sour fish made by Sanniang!
Also, what should I say first when I see Sanniang later?
It seemed inappropriate to directly ask her what happened back then when we first met.
"Okay, let's have lunch first." Xiao An didn't have lunch even if his father didn't. He was rushing all the way because he couldn't wait to see his mother, so he definitely didn't have lunch.
He Zexu was not sure whether Little General An knew about the matter between him and Sanniang, and it was difficult to ask him: "Okay, I'd like to trouble General An."
"What the prince said is that we are all members of our own family, so we can't say it's troublesome or not." Xiao An suppressed a smile and said seriously.
The father and son walked forward with different thoughts. When they stopped, He Zexu was startled. This is a restaurant? It's not a government office or a house. Could it be that Sanniang is here to protect herself and wash away her dust?
After entering, he went up to the private room on the second floor. The moment He Zexu stepped across the threshold, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
However, when I entered, I found that there was no Sanniang inside and it was empty.
Maybe you haven't come here yet?
With this thought in mind, he sat down and deliberately chose the seat facing the door.
He Zexu's actions and expression changes were all caught in Xiao An's eyes, and he sighed inwardly. Seeing his father like this, he felt funny and sad at the same time.
The food and wine were served quickly, but He Zexu's attention was always in the direction of the door.
As soon as I heard footsteps coming from outside, I unconsciously sat upright. However, the only person who came was the waiter who served the food.
"Your Majesty, the food is ready, please use it." Xiao An greeted guiltily.
When He Zexu heard this, he looked towards him, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Isn't your wife coming?"
Because it is now a private matter for the family to receive their father, there are only two people in this room, Xiao An and He Zexu. The people who came with Xiao An and the entourage responsible for receiving He Zexu are in the hall downstairs.
He Zexu's followers did not know the reason why their master came to Malaysia this time. They rushed all the way to the destination and were entertained with good wine and food. Everyone ate and drank happily.
It's just that their master, in the private room upstairs, has no appetite at all, even though his stomach is empty, facing a table full of sumptuous food and wine.
"Your Majesty, our wife won't be here first, so let's eat first. It won't taste good if it's cold." Xiao An didn't know how to respond, because he felt that his mother might not see him after lunch.
Daddy's.
Hearing what Xiao An said, He Zexu's heart sank. Did she not want to see him?
He Zexu did not pick up the food, but stretched out his hand to pour himself wine and drank it slowly.
Xiao An felt so uncomfortable: "My lord, please don't drink on an empty stomach. You will get drunk easily. How can you see our wife when you are drunk?"
"See her? Even if I don't drink or get drunk, I probably won't be able to see her." He Zexu said with a bitter smile.
"Then since the prince said so, do you know why I can't see him?" Xiao An asked curiously.
My mother didn't tell me the reason, but maybe my father could get some inside information.
He Zexu opened his mouth and suddenly realized that he couldn't say it, especially when the other person was so young.
"I'm not sure about this. I just feel that she doesn't want to see me. Maybe, General An, you know something?" He Zexu asked tentatively.
Xiao An waved his hands repeatedly: "I really don't know the specifics about this. I just heard from my wife that you were separated in the first place out of necessity."
"Last resort? That's what she said?" He Zexu put down his wine glass and looked into Xiao An's eyes and asked.
Xiao An nodded: "Other than that, I don't know anything else. Our wife hides her thoughts very deeply and never tells us."
This is true. He Zexu believes that what Xiao An said is the truth, because Sanniang has lived with him for more than nine months, done so many things behind his back, and can still chat with him calmly and calmly.
.
Even the fact that his eyes could be cured was not disclosed in advance.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened between you back then, but one thing I know very well is that you are good, Your Majesty, and so is Madam.
In this way, Your Majesty, please eat this meal well, eat well, and I will take you to see her. I will definitely let you see her." Xiao An really couldn't stand the helpless and sad look of his father, and patted her
Chest assured.
When He Zexu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he stopped drinking, and began to eat the food with big mouthfuls. Seeing this, Xiao An quickly got up and went to the door to call the waiter to bring some food.
When Xiao An and He Zexu came downstairs after finishing their meal, the three tables downstairs were eating in full swing. As soon as they saw the two of them, they all quickly put their chopsticks aside and stood up.
"You guys sit down and eat slowly, your prince and I will go back first." Seeing that his father didn't respond at all, Xiao An quickly shouted to everyone.
When everyone heard this, no one sat down, but looked at their master.
He Zexu nodded and walked out.
The entourage then sat back down and continued to eat and drink. The master had a close relationship with General An, so there should be no problem if he followed General An.
After leaving the restaurant, He Zexu saw that Xiao An had no intention of getting on his horse, so he followed him. However, he also discovered that although this road was heading to the government office, Xiao An took him into the alley behind.
.
"Have you come up with any ideas? Don't make her angry by helping me." He Zexu reminded her kindly.
"What I can help the prince is to allow you to see her. The rest depends on the prince himself." Xiao An actually wanted to say, it doesn't matter, as long as you have the ability to deal with your mother, she will naturally not
I'm annoyed by your son.
The two stopped in front of a house. Someone was guarding the door. They were very respectful when they saw Xiao An.
Xiao An led the way. From the outside, the gate of the house didn't look very grand, but inside it was very big, with many twists and turns. Xiao An pointed to a fan-shaped courtyard door and said, "Your Majesty, the rest is up to you."
After saying that, Xiao An turned around and left.
He Zexu followed the direction pointed by Xiao An and walked in. He saw a figure standing by the lotus pond in the distance...
