The man saw that Yue Qianming and others were still looking at him, as if he didn't know him, but he didn't speak. He laughed as if the prank had succeeded, causing the officials from the Ministry of Rites to look sideways. The man stared back at those officials. After taking a look, he said: "It's better that Qin'er still remembers me as a brother after so many years. You three arrogant guys don't even know you, Mr. Pu, or me anymore."
Only then did Yue Qianming and others react. They looked Zhao Pu up and down. The once handsome young man with red lips and white teeth now looked like this. However, his youthful appearance could still be seen between his eyebrows, but there was Qian Yuan in front of him. Shocked, everyone quickly accepted the mature Zhao Pu. However, Yuchi Zhongming directly touched Zhao Pu's face as fast as lightning and said: "Master Pu, your change is indeed not small, fat." I don’t even recognize him."
Then Qin Kongyu and Yue Qianming stepped forward and touched Zhao Pu's cheeks one by one, and joked: "Well! It's true that you didn't apply powder today, but you should really apply some now. It's better to look white." Zhao Pu looked at it. This group of guys was still the same as before. They definitely couldn't defeat a few of them, so they jumped right in. A few middle-aged men immediately started to fight like teenagers, and all the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette looked this way. Some people wanted to stop these people. If they were seen by envoys from Jin and Xia, how unbecoming would it be? However, the leader of the group, an official from the Ministry of Rites named Qian Mingshi, stopped these people with his eyes. Yue Qianming and the other three are very fond of people, but Zhao Pu once had the title of the little devil incarnate. He stayed in a place like the East with strong folk customs for more than twenty years, and made Zhao Xin, the country that was once the poorest, It is also the case that the county government, where many unruly people were born, turned into a place where people did not pick up things on the road and the people were pure. The methods used in the early stage were very bloody. Moreover, he was a member of the royal family and the only son of the old prince Dexian. He had a rich background. To provoke this person for such a trivial matter. Zhao Pu, how unwise, I think they should have some sense of caution.
Zhao Qiner glanced at the four middle-aged men helplessly, took the hand of the woman who got off the car with Zhao Pu, came to the side of Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan, and said to the woman: "Ignore them, they used to be I haven’t been happy to see you like this for many years.” Then he introduced the identities of Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan to her.
Just listen to the woman say: "My name is Hua Yunrong, and this is the youngest son Zhao Yongting." The voice is like a clear mountain spring slowly flowing through the mountain stream. Just listen to the child say: "Mother, why did you change my name?" Having said that, I also want to introduce myself." Zhao Qin'er and the other three laughed. Zhao Qin'er smiled and leaned over to the little boy and said: "Come on, Ting'er, let me introduce you. This is Your Aunt Lu and Aunt Dan, and I am your aunt."
I heard Zhao Yongting ask in a childish voice: "Are you the Aunt Qin that dad often talks about?"
Zhao Qin'er smiled and nodded in response, then looked at Zhao Pu who was playing with Yue Qianming and the three of them, and asked Zhao Yongting in a low voice: "Ting'er, tell aunt, does your father often say bad things about aunt?"
Xiao Zhao Yongting thought for a moment and said, "No! I often praise Aunt Qin."
Zhao Qin'er asked again: "Oh! Then why did your father praise me?"
Xiao Zhao Yongting thought for a long time and finally said: "I forgot." Zhao Qiner laughed and touched Zhao Yongting's head, but took a jade pendant from his belt and carried it with him and said: "This is what my aunt gave you. The meeting gift has been collected!"
Lu Xiangning and Xue Dan next to them also took out the gadgets they had prepared and gave them to Zhao Yongting with a smile. Hua Yunrong next to them wanted to refuse, but Zhao Qiner waved her hand and stopped her, saying: "Sister-in-law , Brother Zhao Pu and we grew up together, there is no need to be polite between us, you will know it just by looking at the looks of those people." Hua Yunrong turned to look in the direction Zhao Qin'er was pointing, and saw that Zhao Pu and the others were already The brawling stopped, and a few people gathered together arm-in-arm, not knowing what they were talking about.
Zhao Pu shouted: "Rong'er, come here and introduce me to you." Hua Yunrong took Zhao Yongting's hand and walked over. Zhao Qin'er and the other three also followed. Zhao Pu introduced: "This is me and Those little friends of mine you often mentioned, when I am away from now on, I will go to them if anything happens." Then he pointed at Yuchi Zhongming with a smile and said, "This is the damn fat Yuchi." Then he pointed at Yue Qianming and said, "This is the old man. Yue, this guy is the most evil. All the damage done to us at that time was caused by this kid." Then he looked at Qin Kongyu and said: "This is Lao Qin. He used to be a very aloof guy. I don't know why he has become so different now. So shameless and shameless." Then he introduced in a carefree manner: "This is my wife Hua Yunrong and my brat Zhao Yongting."
Hua Yunrong took Zhao Yongting and saluted one by one and said: "I have seen Commander Yuchi, Divine General Qianming, Divine General Kongyu, and often heard my husband mention some of them." Then he said: "I have thanked you all here, if not You guys, my husband can’t last that long in that small county, and he won’t bring such big changes to my hometown.”
Everyone looked at Zhao Pu in confusion. They didn't know what Hua Yunrong meant by thanking him. Although they occasionally exchanged letters, they rarely talked about government affairs. They even persuaded Zhao Pu to return to Beijing many times. How could Zhao Pu stay there all the time? As for Motivation, Zhao Pu waved his hand and said: "It's okay not to mention the past. Okay, tell me where is the reception banquet I set for Mr. Pu? Is it at Zhenxiu Tower or at your house? I'm giving it to you My wife is bragging that you guys are going to treat me to the Zhen Gourmet Restaurant for three days in a row."
Yuchi Zhongming said: "Okay, let's go to the Zhenxi Restaurant. Today I am giving face to Madam-in-law, not to you. You, the guy, look the same no matter what you eat. It is simply the greatest insult to food."
Zhao Pu punched Yuchi Zhongming on the broad shoulder and said, "I know you, a fat guy like you, have the 'Foodie' brand of Zhenxilou, so let's go!"
Immediately, the group of people divided into two groups and got into the car that Zhao Qin'er and others took when they left the city. The car that Zhao Pu and his family were riding in was driven by the servant and fell far behind. Zhao Pu had already moved himself. He gave his waist badge to the servant and asked him to go directly to Prince Dexian's Mansion. After Zhao Qin'er and his party left, only the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who were waiting for the envoys of Jin and Xia were left at the Shiliting Post Station. Those officials from the Ministry of Etiquette watched a group of people go After the dignitaries in the court left, they all let out a sigh of relief. I wonder what they would think if those envoys saw the appearance of Kongyu, the god of Qianming, who had shocked the North and the South for many years.
Zhao Pu looked at the tall and tall walls of Feng'an City getting closer and closer, and he felt endless emotions in his heart. Then he got out of the carriage and stood on the shaft of the carriage. Thousands of words turned into one loud shout: "Feng'an City! You, Master Pu, I'm back.
." This attracted passersby on the roadside to look sideways. The car following behind them
All the girls were amused by Zhao Pu's behavior that ignored etiquette and image. Only Zhao Yongting's childish voice asked: "Mother, what's wrong with daddy?" This made everyone laugh, and Hua Yunrong also laughed lightly.
He smiled and said, "It's okay. Daddy is just very happy today. Very happy."
Zhao Qin'er smiled and thought of the day when she returned to Fengan City after so many years, and endless sorrow surged in her heart. This city seemed to be her own mother. No matter how long you leave, it will always stand here, waiting for you.
For the day when I leave you and come back.
About two-quarters of an hour after Zhao Qin'er and others left Shiliting Station, they saw from a distance a mighty team appearing at the end of the official road. When they got closer, the eyes of the official from the Ministry of Etiquette who headed it
I couldn't help but narrowed my eyes. That team had two different purposes.
The flag turned out to be gold, and the envoys from the Xia and Xia countries arrived at the same time. Qian Mingshi thought to himself, "The rumors are indeed true. In recent years, the national strength of our Zhao Xin family has faintly surpassed this gold. The Xia and Xia countries have heard that this gold...
The two countries of Xia and Xia have formed an alliance to jointly suppress our country, the Zhao Xin clan, and it is indeed the case now."
By the time the envoys from the two countries arrived at Shiliting Station, Qian Mingshi's complexion had returned to normal and was as calm as water. The envoys from Jin and Xia were headed by two men, the chief minister of the Xia Geng clan.
The envoy is still Zang Lijue, but the deputy envoy is a middle-aged man. Looking at the brilliance flowing from time to time in his eyes, he is obviously a man.
A master. But this time the envoy of the Jinhai Kingdom was a middle-aged man. Looking at the officials of the Zhao Xin Kingdom, they looked fierce, as if they had the revenge of killing their father. Qian Mingshi knew why this man
Looking at the looks in their eyes, it was clear that although the people of the Zhao Xin clan did not have a grudge against this man for killing his father, they did have a grudge against him for killing his brother.
This person was Jin Zhengxiong, the younger brother of Jin Chengxiong, whose head was beheaded in the Battle of the Southern Border eight years ago as a blood sacrifice to the ancestors of the Zhao Xin clan. Although the main culprit was Qin Kongyu, Jin Zhengxiong was the ruthless Zhao Xin clan.
However, Qian Mingshi did not dodge when he saw the fierce light of Jin Zhengxiong. He remained as calm as water and looked at the people of the Jinhai clan.
The deputy envoy didn't recognize him at first glance. Then Qian Mingshi smiled and invited the envoys from the two countries to enter the inn. After entering the inn, Qian Mingshi noticed that among the entourage of the two envoys, each brought
There were five young people, both boys and girls, all fifteen or sixteen years old. I don’t know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of these two countries.
Zhao Qiner and others came to the Zhenxiu Building all the way. Xiangming, Jiang Chen and Yuchide were already waiting at the door. After a few greetings and introductions, when they were about to enter the Zhenxiu Tower, Xiangming called out and stopped.
After meeting Zhao Qin'er, Zhao Qin'er asked everyone to take Jiang Chen in first. Xiang Ming whispered a few words in Zhao Qin'er's ear, Zhao Qin'er whispered something to her, and then Xiang Ming hurriedly
Leave.
By the time Zhao Qin'er entered, everyone had been arranged into a private room on the third floor. An attendant from Zhenxiu Restaurant took Zhao Qin'er to the private room that Yuchi Zhongming had reserved. Yue Qianming asked Zhao Qin'er
Asked: "But what's the emergency? Do you need help?" The other people also looked at Zhao Qin'er, and saw that Zhao Qin'er looked calm.
Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "What can be more important than supporting Brother Pu? Yuchi, hurry up and ask someone to serve the food!" When everyone saw what Zhao Qin'er said, they didn't ask any more questions. The banquet was already underway.
, after a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone asked why Zhao Pu wanted to go to the East.
Zhao Pu said seriously: "Because of my father's words." Zhao Qin'er asked jokingly: "What did Uncle Wang say that inspired you, the biggest dandy in Feng'an City, to go to that bitter cold place? Did you stay there for more than twenty years?" Yue Qianming and others also showed curious expressions. Although the old prince Dexian had a reputation as a virtuous man, it was rumored that when he was young, he was just like everyone else, wandering around the streets and wandering around until he was three years old. I don't know why I suddenly woke up when I was a teenager and worked hard to become stronger, and now I am an existence like the national sea god needle of the Zhao Xin family.
I only heard Zhao Pu say: "Not a few years after Qin'er left, you all went your separate ways, and I was the only one left in the capital. One day, after I returned to the palace drunk, I never cared about me. But my father stopped me and chatted with me for half the night, but to this day I still remember what my father said: 'People without ideals are like zombies, just a puddle of mud. Even when I played with you, All your brothers and friends will also drift away from you until they are strangers.' It was this sentence that made me wake up, and then I begged the emperor to give me a county that is the most difficult to govern in the country, and I want to achieve something. ." Zhao Pu took a sip of wine and then said: "These words really stimulated me. I don't want to have accomplished nothing and be looked down upon by you after many years, or when I get together with you again, there will be nothing between us. You can talk, the further you go, the farther you go."
