Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteen [Flying Wings] (Part 2)
Hu Xiaotian asked about the recent situation. Everything in Dongliang County was normal. Xiasha Port was still busy transporting grain to Wuxing County. Most of the 300,000 shi of grain that Hu Xiaotian promised to the court had now been transported to Wuxing County.:6d
Hu Xiaotian asked: "How is the mood of the people in the city?"
Li Chengming said: "It is much more stable than before. Since I heard that the peace talks between the lord and Dayong have been successful, people are no longer as panicked as in the past. The people have also calmed down, and many people who left before have returned one after another.
"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded: "Have you ever fulfilled the grain you were asked to distribute to each household?"
Li Chengming respectfully replied: "It has been fulfilled. Now the people in the city are very grateful to the lord." Hu Xiaotian asked Li Chengming to distribute ten kilograms of grain to each of the people in Dongliang County for the New Year. This expenditure alone cost hundreds of millions.
As much as ten thousand catties, this is also a move by Hu Xiaotian to win people's hearts.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm so grateful that I have no hope. I just hope they won't scold me like they did in the past."
Li Chengming smiled and said: "Who dares..."
Hu Xiaotian's face darkened, and Li Chengming realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed his words: "It's too late to be grateful."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "How is the situation with Chang Fanqi's mother and son?"
Li Chengming said: "The old lady's condition has worsened recently. I have consulted famous doctors in the city, but it still doesn't seem to be improving."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown, but it was a big mistake. He gave up the idea of ​​returning home immediately and decided to go to Chang Fanqi's place first.
Chang Fanqi still lives in the past place. Hu Xiaotian did not send anyone to monitor him deliberately. After the eldest princess Xue Lingjun came to Dongliang County for negotiations, the two parties also reached an agreement. The prisoners of Qin Yangming were released one after another. Chang Fanqi learned that
After this situation, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I had made up my mind since I was a child to become a respected hero and a famous general on the battlefield. However, now I am in such an embarrassing situation. Hu Xiaotian threatened with the life of his mother.
He had no choice but to capture Qin Yangming and deliver him to Hu Xiaotian. To Dakang, he was already a treasonous traitor, and he was destined to die even if he took the risk of escaping back to the country.
Although Hu Xiaotian has expressed his intention to win over him many times, loyal ministers have never served two masters since ancient times. How could he violate his principles? Chang Fan wanted to take the opportunity to escape with his mother many times, but he was worried that she would not be able to bear the pain of being bumpy and frightened. As the situation approached,
My mother accidentally fell down again during the New Year, and she has been bedridden since then. I have to admit that Hu Xiaotian was very kind to him. He sent many doctors during this period, but my mother's condition never improved.
Chang Fanqi had just served his wife to take herbal medicine, and when he got up and went out to clean the medicine jar, he saw Hu Xiaotian walking in accompanied by Li Chengming.
Chang Fanqi pretended not to see Hu Xiaotian and continued walking to the kitchen. Hu Xiaotian understood this man's character and was accustomed to his indifference, so he did not call Chang Fanqi and walked straight to the room where the old lady lived.
Chang Fanqi saw it and immediately followed him, blocking Hu Xiaotian's path in front of the door and whispering: "What do you want to do?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I thought you didn't see me."
Chang Fanqi said: "Let's talk outside." He thought Hu Xiaotian was looking for him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Let me see how the aunt is doing first."
"You don't need to care." Chang Fanqi thought that all Hu Xiaotian's concern was pretentious and hypocritical.
The old lady's voice came from the room: "Is Xiaotian back?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mom, it's me! I'm back!"
The old lady said: "Come in quickly, I haven't seen you in a while."
Hu Xiaotian proudly raised his head to Chang Fanqi. Chang Fanqi had no choice but to step aside. Hu Xiaotian walked into the room and came to the old lady's bedside. He saw that the old lady's face was red. Compared with the last time he saw her,
It seems that you are still healthy. It doesn't look like you are sick! He asked with concern: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so sick?"
The old lady sighed and said: "As we get older, no one can escape birth, old age, illness and death."
"Auntie, don't say that. I see that you are a person with profound blessings and you will definitely live a long life."
When Chang Fanqi heard what he said, he secretly sighed in his heart. This guy's mouth is really good at talking. But he still had to coax the old lady like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little better about Hu Xiaotian.
The old lady said: "I know my situation very well, and the good thing of living a long life will never happen to me. I just want to live a few more years and see Fanqi get married and start a business. If I can hold him in my lifetime,
Grandson, even if I die, I can rest in peace." The old lady couldn't help but choke up when she talked about her sadness.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Auntie, this is not a trivial matter. I will ask someone to arrange a good marriage for Brother Chang tomorrow."
Chang Fanqi stared anxiously, thinking that this guy was actually taking care of his own life-long affairs.
Hu Xiaotian's words touched the old lady's mind. She grabbed Hu Xiaotian's hand and said, "Seriously? Don't lie to me!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Auntie, I won't lie to anyone if I lie to you. Brother Chang and I are brothers and sisters, and I have always treated his matters as my own."
Chang Fanqi really couldn't laugh or cry. What kind of friendship did he have with him? Only enemies are right, but he couldn't expose his lies in front of my mother. Chang Fanqi said: "Mom, I can still respect you even if I don't marry a wife!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Chang, what you said is wrong. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. If you don't marry a wife at such an old age, do you really want to prevent my aunt from having grandchildren?"
The old lady said: "Listen, listen, Xiaotian understands my thoughts best, you bastard is unfilial!"
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart. The old lady was most likely pretending to be ill. She was using this method to urge her son to start a family as soon as possible. Poor parents in the world. Hu Xiaotian suddenly thought of his mother, and couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart. People only understand when they lose.
cherish.
Although the old lady was blind, she could feel the changes in Hu Xiaotian's mood and asked with concern: "Xiaotian, you just came back and you haven't had time to pay your respects to your parents?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Auntie, my parents are gone."
The old lady held Hu Xiaotian's hand tighter and said with pity: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned these things."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Auntie, it's okay. I treat you as my own mother in my heart."
Mrs. Chang nodded excitedly after hearing his words: "Good boy, good boy, if you don't mind it, come here tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with us."
Chang Fanqi stared blankly at Hu Xiaotian with his big eyes. It's over. I was completely coaxed by this guy. I don't know his details at all.
Hu Xiaotian glanced at Chang Fanqi with pride and said, "Okay! Madam, I've made a note of it, and I'll definitely come over and have the New Year's Eve dinner with you tomorrow."
Mrs. Chang smiled broadly: "By the way, are you engaged?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It will be kept secret for now."
After Hu Xiaotian made the old lady happy, he said goodbye and left. Chang Fanqi sent him outside and came to the courtyard gate. It was estimated that the old lady couldn't hear them, so Chang Fanqi said: "Why are you so pretentious?
"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Fanqi's words are wrong. As long as it can make the old man happy, it's okay to tell some white lies."
"I can't do things that are inconsistent with appearance!" Although Chang Fanqi admitted that what Hu Xiaotian said was indeed reasonable, he refused to admit it.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will come to have New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow, so you don't have to prepare anything."
Chang Fanqi said: "I didn't invite you!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and patted Chang Fanqi on the shoulder and said, "What you say doesn't count!" Before leaving, he said to Chang Fanqi: "The old lady asked me to find a marriage for you."
Chang Fanqi refused and said: "If you don't care, you have to worry about it!"
When Hu Xiaotian returned to his residence, Wei Sa and Liang Dazhuang were already here looking at each other eagerly. When they saw Hu Xiaotian coming back, Liang Dazhuang came up to him with a big grin on his face: "Master, you are finally back. I am waiting for you to come back to celebrate the New Year."
Although Wei Sa misses Hu Xiaotian more than Liang Dazhuang in his heart, he still behaves reservedly in front of others.
Hu Xiaotian smiled at Wei Sa. He wanted to go over and tease her, but Liang Dazhuang said again: "Master, guess who is here!"
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled: "Who is it?"
Liang Dazhuang pointed to the back, and the two people who were hiding at the courtyard door came out, but they were Hu Fu and Liu Kuohai from his hometown. Ho Fu was entrusted by the servants of the Hu family to travel a long distance to visit the young master, and Liu Kuohai
Firstly, I wanted to be his bodyguard, and secondly, because I was bored staying at Fengyi Villa, I decided to come over and follow Hu Xiaotian. Once I came here, I never planned to go back.
Hoover and the two came to Hu Xiaotian and knelt down together, both excited.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's good to come, it's good to come. During the New Year, there will be more people to make it more lively."
After the two stood up, Liu Kuohai presented Huo Shengnan's handwritten letter to Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian received the letter but did not open it immediately.
Liang Dazhuang said: "Master, you go and have a rest first. The bath water has been prepared for you and is still warm."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, walked towards the room and passed by Visa, who said with a blushing face: "Master!"
Hu Xiaotian handed her a wooden box.
Visa took it and left here shyly.
Hu Xiaotian returned to the room, took off his clothes and got into the bathtub, lying in the hot water. His whole body and mind felt extremely comfortable. Although he had arrived in Dongliang County less than half an hour after riding the snow sculpture, the weather was cold after all.
Even though I was a little panicked inside, I still felt comfortable being down-to-earth.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and it was Liang Dazhuang who came in to heat the water.
Hu Xiaotian closed his eyes and said, "Dazhuang, is there anything unusual happening in the city recently?"
Liang Dazhuang smiled and said: "Everything is fine. It's just that Hu Zhongyang has been here several times in the past two days. It seems that he has important matters to discuss with the young master."
