Training Wu Zhou

CHAPTER 203: THE FAMILY

Xiao Qi's surprise call came to the courtyard, Chang Ying frowned, and then quickly walked to the door, only to see Xiao Qi chatting excitedly with a group of people in front of the door.

It is also interesting to say that after yesterday's incident, all the servants in the full house were killed. I dare not say that all of them were good people. There must be eyeliners from all sides, but most of them are honest and honest. Reduced, but more personnel.

The reason is that most of the soldiers who came to investigate last night stayed here. At this time, there were four guards in front of the door who looked at the visitors in surprise.

There were quite a few people who came, a few servants and women who bowed their heads in silence, and the three leaders, an old man and two tall men, and this group of people was obviously Lao Wang's group who were blocked outside the city this morning.

Although the guards didn't know Xiao Qi's identity very well, they also knew that the child had been here last night, and it was expected that he was someone related to Tang Guan.

"Young master, where's your brother?"

The old man saw Xiao Qi coming forward, his face was full of joy, and he asked.

Chang Ying frowned when he heard that, before Xiao Qi could answer, he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Qi, who are these people?"

"Brother Chang, this is from my family!" Xiaoqi turned his head and smiled. He had to say that the sudden arrival of Lao Wang and others was indeed a surprise to him. Now Tang Guan's appearance made him worry. Some scared. [

But seeing Lao Wang made him less disturbed. He knew that the old butler was an old man from the Tang family. Just when Chang Ying was puzzled, Tang Er said in surprise, "Strong man, it's you, do you remember me?"

Chang Ying was startled when he heard the words, and looked up at Tang Er, but when he saw his appearance clearly, he was dazed.It seemed that the two had never met each other, but fortunately Tang Er immediately added: "Chang Zhuangshi, on the day you came to Hangzhou to pick up Mr. Xiaolang, I will treat you to porridge!"

Hearing what he said, Chang Ying secretly thought for a while.Then suddenly said: "It's you."

Speaking of which, Tang Er's memory is really good. He can remember such trivial things clearly. As soon as he saw Chang Ying's appearance, he remembered the events of that day. For a while, Chang Ying also relaxed his vigilance. Afraid of well rope.The Tang clan is haunted by ghosts, and now it is unknown why they are targeting Tang Guan in this way, Chang Ying is afraid that another accident will happen again.

Fortunately, the identities of this group of people are real, and they can be confirmed as soon as they communicate with each other. Xiao Qi is especially excited, although he hasn't spent a long time with these servants in the Tang family.But after all, the Tang family took him and Niulang in. Common people like Old Wang, Tang Er, and Tang San are quite familiar with each other.

"Young master, the longer you grow, the more handsome you are." Old Wang couldn't help admiring Xiao Qi's already handsome face because of the excitement that added a few traces of obsequiousness that shouldn't exist on a man's face.

Xiao Qi scratched his head when he heard this, Lao Wang looked at him with a smile.He looked up at Chang Ying again, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Chang Zhuang, the old man Wang Fusheng is an official of the Tang family, these days there is Lao Zhuang taking care of my young master."

When Chang Ying saw Lao Wang calling out his first and last name, he was startled at first, and then he said in relief: "Uncle Wang, it's my duty to take care of Mr. Lang, it should be, it should be."

After finishing speaking, Chang Ying thought to himself: "I guess it was Chen Shijun who gave the order in advance."

Old Wang was not surprised to see him recognize him at a glance.Nodding secretly in his heart, he has to say that he is a rare and loyal person. After being taken in by Tang Guan's grandfather in the early years, he has been working hard with the Tang family, from his grandfather's generation.From the moment he followed Tang Weixi to Chang'an and went home to do business, no one knew the history of the Tang family better than him.

Therefore, although he was only a servant in his life, he was still counted as a number of people. Sometimes it is not so easy to be a servant. When it comes to observing words and demeanor, and seeing subtleties, you have to figure out all these things. In fact, this is not the same as Tang Guan. The courtiers are no different, except that one matter is big and the other is small.

A servant has a way to be a servant, and an official must have the means and knowledge of an official, but the fundamentals are somewhat similar, and they are all ways to seek peace and security.

After seeing the ceremony with Chang Ying, Lao Wang saw that he was tall and mighty, a bit taller than Tang Er and Tang San, who had strength in his own family, and he was amazed in his heart, but his main purpose of coming here was to meet Tang Guan. Immediately said: "A strong man can call me Laowang, but my husband is in there?"

Hearing this, Chang Ying glanced at the smiling Old Wang, hesitated to say: "This"

Old Wang was shocked when he saw this, but looking at Xiao Qi's appearance, it didn't look like something happened, so he couldn't help asking: "Strong man, my lord?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here, that's it." Chang Ying saw that the old king was puzzled, and hurriedly waved his hands in agreement, but stopped again at this point, and sighed, he felt that Tang Guan's pain now had its own reasons Responsibility, now that the people in his family are not relatives, but seeing Xiao Qi being very affectionate to the old man in front of him, it can be seen that this should be regarded as the elder Tang Guan.

Old Wang saw him hesitate to speak again and again, his heart sank slightly, and then he put on a smile and said to Xiao Qi who was talking to Tang Er and Tang San: "Young master, these are all from our family, you know them well here, you Take your second and third uncles to settle down."

"Okay." The excited Xiaoqi didn't think anything else when he heard the words, and immediately nodded in agreement, leading Tang Er and Tang San to the courtyard.

At this moment, the guard over there couldn't bear it anymore, approached Chang Ying and whispered: "Guard Chang, this"

"Oh, no problem, no problem." Chang Ying ordered him in a low voice, and the soldier couldn't say much when he saw this, so he stepped back immediately.

Seeing everyone entering the courtyard, Old Wang looked at Chang Ying and said, "Strong man, who are you?"

Hearing this, Chang Ying shook his head and sighed softly, and then said: "It's a long story, Uncle Wang, let's go in and talk."

Old Wang was shocked when he saw this. He came here full of excitement. The Tang family has such a famous figure as Tang Guan. As an old servant who has served three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, he is naturally happy. Chang Ying's appearance proves that Tang Guan's prestige is true, but seeing Chang Ying's appearance makes him feel very puzzled.

For a while, he had no choice but to follow Chang Ying into the courtyard, Lao Wang glanced around, and Tang Guan mentioned in the letter that the Holy Majesty bestowed the house, but it was clearly a full house for entertaining foreign officials.

The two of them didn't stop, they walked to the room for a while, Chang Ying sat down by himself, and greeted: "Uncle Wang, you can sit down too."

"" Lao Wang took a look at the room, sat down after hearing the words, Chang Ying poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and then said: "It's a coincidence, did you receive a letter from Mr. Xiaolang's family?"

Lao Wang just took a sip of tea.Hearing the words, he put it down and said: "The strong man doesn't know something, my master has already received it a few days ago, but the journey has been exhausting, and it has indeed delayed a lot."

"Master Lingfu is here?" Chang Ying was surprised when he heard this.

Old Wang smiled and said, "That's not true."

After finishing speaking, Lao Wang frowned again and said, "Then my husband?"

Chang Ying nodded first when he heard the words, then sighed again, that's the end of the conversation.I had to say it, so I had no choice but to say: "This matter is a long story, let Rong Chang ask first, has the Lingfu prepared the marriage for the gentleman?"

Lao Wang couldn't help being stunned when he heard this question, and subconsciously wanted to answer no.After all, Tang Guan was a well-known idiot before. If it weren't for the Tang family's wealth, it would be very difficult to find a good family in this life.

But before he could say anything, he immediately remembered that Tang Weixi had adopted Lin Yuxun as his adoptive daughter. This adopted daughter sounded like a daughter, but she was actually a spare wife and concubine. He immediately changed his words, "How do you say that?"

"Oh. Let's not mention this for now, let's not mention this for now." Seeing that he did not answer, Chang Ying didn't ask any more questions. After all, this is someone else's family business, but seeing that Lao Wang didn't reject it outright, it seemed possible.

Old Wang kept silent when he heard the words, and waited for Chang Ying to finish, only to see that Chang Ying pondered for a while, and then said: "This story must start when the young man sees the girl."

He just spoke.Lao Wang almost spit out the tea in his mouth, "Naughty girl?"

"Uncle Wang, don't be impatient, I'll tell you slowly."

Chang Ying was not surprised when he saw this, after all, everything that happened to Tang Guan was extremely horrifying.He can only pick some not too thrilling ones and talk about them slowly.

So he narrated everything from Tang Guan's acquaintance with Shangguan Wan'er to his assassination last night. Old Wang had already put down the tea in his cup and listened intently. He had learned about Tang Guan's arrival from Tang Weixi as early as at home. The thrilling incidents in Chang'an, especially Liu Xun's house ransacked for no reason, made him even more delighted.

But it was less than a month later, and the old Wang's face changed suddenly from the various things Chang Ying said. When he heard the identity of Shangguan Wan'er, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Prime Minister Shangguan?"

"Yes, that girl is the widow of the Shangguan family, Uncle Wang, do you know the Shangguan family?"

Lao Wang nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Know something, know something."

When he was in Chang'an with Tang Weixi, Emperor Gaozong was still there. At that time, when the Shangguan family was in full swing, one family had two ministers, and his words were wind and rain. shadow.

Seeing the old Wang's appearance, Chang Ying's heart moved. He originally thought that the Tang family was just a local gentry, and only because of Tang Guan, a terrific and peerless scholar, they flew to the branches. stand up.

In fact, it was just a coincidence that Lao Wang was indeed literate. After all, the Tang family started as tenants at first, and then they started a huge business after Tang Weixi became an official. Both the land and the business needed to be accounted for. (Note: Landlord)

It is not difficult to see that when Tang Guan chased Xiaoqi Niulang and his gang late at night, the people Tang Weixi sent to find them were all tenant farmers.

But when it came to this, Lao Wang actually listened intently, and he didn't come back to his senses until Chang Ying talked about what happened last night. Shangguan Wan'er's identity was too terrifying. Thinking back in the past, Shangguan's family was unattainable The character, I didn't expect the granddaughter of the direct line to be a slave to my young master.

This was an unimaginable thing when I thought about it back then, and I thought it would be fine, but when Chang Ying recounted what happened last night with lingering fear and a little annoyance, Lao Wang's face became pale.

The two talked one by one and listened to the other, until the tea in the cup was cold and the leaves fell in the yard, they could barely stop, the old Wang had already lost his mind in shock, and he ignored Chang Ying's call.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Chang Ying's big hand shook his eyes, and he suddenly came back to his senses, opened his mouth and subconsciously murmured in response, and then frowned: "Then you mean that my lord has taken a fancy to that girl ?”

Only then did Lao Wang wake up to Chang Ying's question about the marriage contract, which turned out to be here, but what happened here still made Lao Wang a little at a loss, or he didn't believe it at all.

For example, Tang Guan entered the palace to block the sword, the prime minister's granddaughter became a slave, and the son of Laoshi Tang's family assassinated him. What is even more dumbfounding is that the girl saved Tang Guan's life all of a sudden.

It doesn't sound very coherent, but Lao Wang hasn't given it in vain for decades at least. Once he heard it, he knew that Chang Ying only knew one thing and didn't know the other. There must be something else in their relationship.

The fact is just as he thought, Chang Ying until Tang Guan became what he is now, so it must be that he and Shangguan Wan'er have feelings for each other. Before that, he only knew that the relationship between the two was complicated, and he didn't dare to think about it.

He himself has come to his senses, let alone telling others.

After he finished speaking, he fell silent, and after hearing Lao Wang's question for a long time, he just shook his head and sighed.

Upon seeing this, Lao Wang withdrew his gaze, stared at the corner of the table, and murmured: "Nie Yuan."

"Where is that girl now?"

Hearing this, Chang Ying raised his head, shook his head and said, "Together with Mr. Xiao Lang."

Hearing this, Lao Wang's face sank, regardless of whether Chang Ying's words were true or not, this is something that can be verified by going to see him, but Tang Guan is still young, and since he suddenly recovered from his illness, he seems to be a different person. As early as at home, he and Lin Yuxun had a close relationship, and everyone in the Tang family noticed this, but they just thought they were childhood sweethearts, and this was a good thing.

But when he came to Chang Ying's mouth, Lao Wang suddenly felt that his second young master was not so innocent and lively, but too precocious.

Although there was still some disbelief in his heart, Lao Wang still stood up and said, "Strong man, please take me to have a look."

"This..." Chang Ying hesitated when he heard the words, but he nodded and agreed when he saw Lao Wang's smiling face. No matter what, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. Maybe Tang Guan could still listen to what he said.

Thinking of this, Chang Ying immediately nodded and said: "Follow me." read.)
