surnamed Wang

Chapter 544

Wang Gangquan and his wife stood outside the house, looking at the brand-new brass lock on the door, and when they were wondering, there was a sound of footsteps from the side.

The couple turned their heads to look, and a man was walking towards this side. The man was in his early thirties and was wearing a long gown. He was taken aback when he saw the two of them. He stepped forward and said:
"May I ask who you two are looking for?"

Wang Gingquan looked at the man in front of him. He behaved elegantly and looked like a scholar. Although he had never met him before, he always had a familiar feeling.

He cupped his hands and said:
"My little brother, may I ask who lives in this house now?"

"Oh, this is where my father's friend lived when he was young. Later he moved away, and the house has been left unused. My father ordered the juniors to come and take care of it from time to time, so it is not deserted. I dare to ask the two old people, but the old owner of this house acquaintance?"

Wang Gangquan stroked his beard, and asked instead:

"Your father's name is Liu Xiaoxi?"

"Old sir, what are you..."

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but then he reacted and said with surprise on his face:

"Could it be that you are the A Yue that my father often mentions?"

Wang Gangquan nodded with a smile.

……

The man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly took out the key from his pocket, opened the door and said:
"Father said that you are a great benefactor of our Liu family. Thanks to that bag of money, father was able to start a business in the city."

At this time, Wang Gangquan also recalled the past, and joked:
"I remember when we went to the city together when we were young, your father couldn't take his eyes off the girl, and he didn't know if he really married a city girl in the end."

Wang Gingquan was always sloppy, chatting with his younger generation about nothing but Yan Rongrong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The middle-aged man pushed open the door and said with a hearty smile:
"To tell the truth, old man, my mother's family is in Changyang County, and they are considered to be from a small rich family."

Saying that, the three of them had come to the house. The facilities in the room were slightly outdated, but not messy. There was only a thin layer of dust on the table, which was wiped by the man with a rag, revealing the underlying texture again.

Although the furniture in the house is not of precious wood, in the eyes of Wang Gingquan, it is priceless. The display in front of him is the same as it was more than 30 years ago.

The middle-aged man said softly at the side:

"My father often said that you will come back one day, sir, so everything is arranged according to the layout of the year. In the past few years, there were strong winds and waves, the sea water poured in, and there were several heavy rains. Some wood was too old and had to be replaced."

Wang Gangquan nodded, "I am determined, is your father still in good health?"

"Being remembered by you, he's still pretty tough, but he lives by the sea all the year round, and when he gets old, his back will be sore and his legs will hurt. I asked him to move back to the city, but my father said that when people are old, they should return to their roots."

……

During the conversation, Wang Pingquan came to the back room, and lightly stroked the dressing table dyed with red lacquer with his fingers. This was one of the few things in the house that was innovative, and it was added when the two got married.

It's a pity that the beautiful woman has passed away, and only the new things are left in the dust.

Yan Rongrong also walked in at this time, looking at everything in front of him, his face couldn't help being a little moved, the loss of a loved one on the wedding night, from great joy to great sorrow, the greatest sorrow in the world.

Now that she is older, she is no longer as obsessive as she was when she was young. Everything in front of her eyes is just an old past that makes people cry when she hears it.

With his back to the two, Wang Gangquan stared blankly at the bronze mirror on the table. After a while, he turned around. There was neither sadness nor regret on his face, and his eyes were always calm.

"Let's go and visit your father."

The man had already heard about the past from his father, so he didn't talk too much, and nodded with a smile on his face.

……

Xiaoxi's family lived in the west of the village, and moved to the city after they became prosperous. Now that they are old, they often dream of scenes from when they were young, so they moved back.

After a lot of expansion, the house is no longer the shabby appearance it was before. It can't compare with the blue bricks and gray tiles in the city, but it can be regarded as the first-class heroism in the village.

When the three of Wang Gangquan walked in the gate, Xiao Xi, who was nearly sixty years old, was watering the flowers. After getting rich, his body was slightly fatter, and he was no longer thin and thin.

The middle-aged man stepped forward to take the water scoop and said respectfully:

"Father, look who is coming."

Hearing the words, the old man raised his head and looked at Wang Gangquan and the two. He was a little puzzled at first, and then he said in surprise:

"A Yue?"

When he saw a friend he hadn't seen for more than 30 years, he could still recognize him at once.

"Cai'er, order to go down and prepare the meals."

……

After his son left, the old man turned his head to look at Wang Gangquan, and then knelt down directly.

"Grassmen see Your Majesty."

"You and I don't have to be like this." Wang Gangquan stepped forward to help each other.

Xiaoxi stood up with difficulty, and didn't say anything more about what happened just now, but asked again like before:
"When are you going to leave this time?"

Wang Gangquan turned his head to look at Yan Rongrong, and after seeing Yan Rongrong slightly nodded, he said:
"I won't leave for now, just stay here for a while."

"Okay, the old guys in the village have moved away these years, and I am worried that there is no one to talk to."

……

After eating, the two chatted for a while, and the sky gradually faded away. The couple said goodbye and returned to the small house in the east of the village. They simply tidied up the house, and this will be their residence from now on.

The two have been husband and wife for many years, and they have long been able to see each other's thoughts with just one look. No matter how calm Wang Gangquan behaves, his inner fluctuations will still be noticed by the person next to him.

At night by the seaside, apart from the lapping of the waves not far away, there was no sound to be heard. Wang Gangquan only felt unprecedentedly peaceful and fell into a deep sleep.

Unconsciously, the sky was already dawn, and cocks were crowing and dogs were barking. Wang Gingquan got up and opened the door to let the sunlight in. Today is a rare good weather. If it was more than 30 years ago, he would have dragged the fishing nets to the boat and set out to sea.

Closing his eyes and quietly enjoying the long-lost peace, Wang Gangquan turned around, looked at Yan Rongrong who was still sleeping soundly, and said softly:

"My lady, this view is beautiful."

As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the back room, and with every step he took, his face became younger until he reached the bed, and he had completely returned to his 24-year-old appearance.

……

Wang Gangquan sat on the side of the bed, took the other person's hand and continued to murmur:
"On the other side of the sea, there are still countless scenery. There are green mountains and green trees, waterfalls and canyons, antelopes leaping and tigers roaring in the forest... I wanted to take you to see..."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly choked up. After a while, he left a kiss on the woman's forehead and got up and said:
"Enough rest, let's go home."

A long rainbow pierced the sky and left this secluded village, just like when the two came, without causing any waves.

……

One month later, news of His Majesty's death suddenly spread from the Beijing Central Palace, and Wang Qianying, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, succeeded to the throne according to the law.

On the same day, three coffins were carried out of the capital, and the emperor, empress, and imperial concubine were buried in the imperial mausoleum at the same time.

In the sky, a young man in white looked at this prosperous world again, turned around and nodded to the man riding a strange beast and said:

"let's start."

Although the latter was reluctant, he still patted the head of the strange beast under him.

A burst of purple lightning surged on the tip of the strange beast's forehead, and a hole slowly cracked in the sky not far away.

"Cultivate well, maybe you and my father and son will meet again someday."

The man in white patted his son on the shoulder, turned around and dived into the void.

The man in his early thirties clutched the jade pendant tightly, trying not to cry.

The child behind him didn't know what happened, he only thought that "uncle" had traveled a long way, he raised the ancient book in his hand and pointed to the title page and asked:

"Father, what does self palace mean?"
