Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 8 You are my uncle

Meng Changqing lowered his head and thought, what kind of method is this?
Big tears fell on Meng Changqing's freshly washed hair, leaving her stunned.

Just as she was about to take a step back, she was pushed into his arms by this man. He said excitedly: "My child! It's so great to see you!"

Meng Changqing's stomach growled at this moment, and the strong man sniffed, "What? Haven't you eaten yet?" He turned around and strode out, standing outside the door and shouting: "Someone come! Go! Cook something in the kitchen, hurry up!"

He stood outside and wiped his face before coming in. As soon as he came in, he took out the torch from his sleeve and lit half of the candle in the lampshade.

"Child, come and sit over here." He put the candle on the round table.

Meng Changqing walked over and said thank you, sir, before taking a seat.

The prefect said: "That's too foreign. Your father and I have a life-long friendship. Although my official rank is far lower than that of your father, your father has endured hard times and has never looked down upon us subordinates. Always commensurate with our brothers.

I shamelessly say that you have to call me uncle. "

Meng Changqing stood up at that time and bowed to the strong man: "Nephew pays homage to uncle."

Wei Fangyun immediately helped him up, "Okay, okay." He looked at Meng Changqing carefully by the candlelight, "Your features look very much like your father."

Of course he looks like his biological son, she thought in her heart, but pretended to be regretful on her face, "It's a pity that I have never met my father."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Fangyun's eyes turned red again, "Your father is a rare hero, and your family... is all good!"

He adjusted his mood and said, "I saw that you came here safely, so I can put my heart back in my stomach." Wei Fangyun said, "Twenty days ago, the Yamen received an urgent secret edict from the emperor, saying that you I have offended Concubine Xiao, and I am afraid that it will not be safe for you to stay in the capital, so I asked you to come to me temporarily.

When I saw the secret edict, I wanted to send troops to pick you up. However, Jiewan has attacked Weishan Pass many times recently. I really can't spare the energy, and I don't know which way you came from. I'm afraid of missing you, so I have to tell the government officials to wait for you once they arrive. , I must ask you to stay. "

That's what happened.

She was hungry for a long time because of the prefect's concern.

As a new official, Meng Changqing's focus will naturally fall on government affairs. "Weishanguan Pass is a natural chasm sandwiched between high mountains. Jiewan knows that it is difficult to break, so how can he attack it multiple times?"

Wei Fangyun praised: "As expected of General Meng's son, he remembers the terrain at a young age and knows how to think about the reasons for disputes."

"Uncle, I am very impressed. I am the prince's accompaniment in the palace, and I occasionally heard the prince say something."

Wei Fangyun took a sip of cold tea and explained: "Jiewan is mostly a savage tribe.

They were a group of uncivilized people who could neither farm nor raise livestock. The three seasons of spring, summer and autumn were fine. They could pick wild fruits and catch wild animals. But once winter came, they There was nothing to eat, so I had to grab what others had.

Every winter, they will attack Weishan Pass or Yan State. This is a common thing, so don't worry. "

Having said this, two yamen servants walked in quickly carrying a steaming iron pot, "Sir, I've made a pot of pimple soup."

One of the yamen servants took out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks from his arms. When he put them on the table, he asked, "Do you want pickled radishes?"

"There's no need to ask, of course I'll bring it up." Wei Fangyun said, "Go get some more wine. There's a happy event today, so you should have a few bowls."

"Uncle." Meng Changqing said, "Can you trouble the Yamen servant to get another pair of bowls and chopsticks? This attendant of mine is also hungry."

"I was negligent. Go get clean bowls and chopsticks." Wei Fangyun asked Bafang to sit down and filled two more bowls of pimple soup in front of them. "You guys eat first. At your age, you are the most experienced person." Don’t be hungry.”

Bafang looked at the pimple soup in front of him, wondering whether he should move or not, and looked at Meng Changqing for help.

Meng Changqing turned slightly sideways and said, "Uncle, thank you for taking care of you."

"Thank you, Mr. Futai." Bafang stood in such a hurry that he almost knocked over the bowl in front of him. "Sit down, sit down, and eat quickly."

He said this, but Meng Changqing still didn't move. He had been waiting all afternoon, and he didn't have to wait a little longer.

Fortunately, the two government officials arrived quickly.

Meng Changqing, with quick eyes and quick hands, took the bowl and chopsticks from the Yamen servant's hand and filled a bowl for Wei Fangyun.

Now you have everything, stop pretending, let’s eat.

Meng Changqing was so hungry that he didn't care about his image at all. He picked up the bowl and drank it hard. After one bowl, he felt like he was alive.

Wei Fangyun didn't eat much himself, but when Meng Changqing finished eating, he immediately refilled it for her.

"Eat! Don't be polite here, uncle, wait until you're full!"

After Meng Changqing finished the second bowl, seeing Wei Fangyun wanting to add more to her, she immediately refused, "I'm full, uncle."

Wei Fangyun added the spoon to Bafang who was still eating, "This follower of yours can eat better than you."

Bafang was so embarrassed that he stopped pulling the noodles with his chopsticks.

Wei Fangyun realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and added: "It is the time when you are growing, so it is a good thing to be able to eat. The more you eat, the stronger you will grow in the future."

His eyes were fixed on Bafang's face for a long time, and he suddenly said: "Why does this kid who is following you look familiar to me?"

Meng Changqing put away the handkerchief he was using to wipe his mouth and said, "When Bafang's father joined the army, he was assigned to the Meng Family Army. I'm afraid you have met his father."

"It turns out he is a descendant of the Meng family army." Wei Fangyun asked again, "Is your father's surname Zhang?"

Bafang put down his chopsticks and replied, "I don't remember my father's name. I have to ask my wife to find out."

Meng Changqing explained, "According to his mother, Bafang was brought home by my father when he was still an infant. He grew up in the Meng family, and his mother seldom talked about his life experience, so he had no impression of his parents."

"If that's the case, then your father's surname is Zhang." Wei Fangyun said to Bafang, "Your father's name is Zhang Fa. When the Yan people invaded the border town, your father died on the battlefield and your mother was also killed by the Yan people who entered the city. When someone killed you, your mother put you in a basket and hung you on a beam, so the group of swallows didn't notice you.

Later, General Meng led us to repel the Yan people and rescued you and another child. "

Bafang was caught off guard when he heard about his life experience. He only knew that his father died on the battlefield, but he didn't know that his mother also died at the hands of the Yan people.

He had to hang on a beam to save his life.

The last half bowl of pimple soup was so heart-pounding that he felt so uncomfortable that he didn't know what to do.

Meng Changqing patted his back and said to Wei Fangyun: "I also have an attendant named Laicai, who entered the mansion with Bafang. He must be the other child."

Wei Fangyun sighed, "I didn't expect to see you again after so many years. Since you are Zhang Fa's son, you have to call me uncle."

Meng Changqing kicked him under the table, "Scream."

Bafang immediately knelt down and said, "Meet Uncle Wei."

The imagined scene of meeting his boss turned into a recognition scene.
