Training Wu Zhou

Chapter 53: The Old Servant

Xiao Qi was still at a loss until he left the brothel. He was eating well, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother Guan, who was that person just now?"

"Our students"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qi was confused and followed Tang Guan's footsteps.

"The man just now was called He Zhizhang. He was favored by our father in the past, so he sometimes called our family the teacher's family." Thinking of this relationship, Tang Guan was actually a little tongue-tied, but it was such a coincidence.

"Oh, no wonder..." Xiao Qi scratched his head, then put it behind him.

At this time, his playfulness was put away, and he followed Tang Guan back to Baoshe.

The two of them saw a figure hesitating outside the door in front of the Baoshe, Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes and pointed at him and said, "Brother Guan, do you think that figure looks like Second Uncle?"

Tang Guan raised his head when he heard the words, looked over there while walking, and shouted excitedly: "Second Uncle!? Why are you here?"

The man called Second Uncle also raised his head to see Xiao Qi and Tang Guan, with an excited expression on his face, he shouted: "Little Lang! You really came to Chang'an!?"

This person turned out to be Tang Er, the nursing home that Tang Weixi had sent to Chang'an for help. Tang Guan was also a little excited to meet his old friend.

He stepped forward quickly and said, "Second Uncle, why are you here?"

Tang Er looked Tang Guan carefully, and smiled excitedly: "Haha, little man! Are you really released?"

Tang Guan was a little dazed when he heard the words, Xiao Qi seemed to think of something and said: "I remember, Brother Guan, the night you were taken away, Dad asked the second uncle to come to Chang'an."

Although Xiao Qi's words were inconsistent, Tang Guan's heart was moved when he heard the words, but he didn't expect that he let it go so quickly, and asked Tang Erbai to run, it seemed that he had arrived in Chang'an, but he hadn't arrived.

Thinking of Tang Guan, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, but Tang Er still looked up and down excitedly: "I went to the Shaoqing's mansion, and the official almost kicked me out as a liar when he saw the letter."

Tang Er scratched his head in embarrassment. Although the journey was non-stop, it was not as good as Tang Guan's journey with the Tiger Talisman on his body. Come fast.

"Second Uncle, many things have happened at home, do you still know him?" Tang Guan smiled and pulled Xiao Qi to his side, Tang Er looked at Xiao Qi, a little familiar, but couldn't get his name.

After a long time, he asked in doubt: "Xiao Qi?"

"Haha, Second Uncle, we even ate pig's trotters together!" Xiao Qi laughed out loud.

Only then did Tang Er come to his senses, and looked at Xiao Qi in surprise, he had only seen Xiao Qi's downcast appearance, and he was a little afraid to recognize him at this moment.

"Second Uncle, you have to call me Second Young Master from now on"

"Why?" Tang Er was puzzled when he heard the words.

"Let's go in and talk," Tang Guan said as he pushed the door open and entered. This house was originally an official institution, and there were housekeepers and servants inside. At this time, Tang Guan led a person back, but no one stopped him.

During this period, the leading officials had heard about Tang Guan's entry into the palace from Shezhong's chariot, although they didn't know what it was about, but they were not something they could offend.

"Second Uncle, Xiao Qi and Brother Niu are now my brothers and sisters," Tang Guan said to Tang Er as he walked.

Tang Er froze on the spot when he heard the words, and realized something, "Master accepted them as foster sons!?"

Seeing that his reaction was not slow, Tang Guan smiled and nodded.

Tang Er looked at Xiaoqi again, and after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help sighing secretly that a beggar from a ruined temple could live in a rich family and become his own master.

"It seems that I will call you young master in the future." Tang Er smiled to Xiao Qi after a long time.

Xiao Qi waved his hand and said, "Second uncle, if you like to be called Xiao Qi, you can call me Xiao Qi."

While they were talking, a door opened, and Chen Yunsheng walked out from it, looking at the people in the courtyard.

"Qubing, who is this strong man?"

Seeing that it was Chen Yunsheng, Tang Er was overjoyed and said, "Magistrate Chen!"

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Chen Yunsheng couldn't help being startled, and stepped forward, Tang Guan said first: "Uncle Chen, this is Tang Er from my nursing home."

"Tang Er?" Chen Yunsheng murmured to himself, and then he seemed to remember that he was a frequent visitor to the Tang residence, and he was fairly familiar with the old servants at home. The one who impressed him the most was undoubtedly Lao Wang, followed by Tang Er and Tang San.

"Tang Er, why are you here?" Chen Yunsheng was slightly puzzled when he saw that Tang Er was also in Chang'an.

Seeing that Chen Yunsheng recognized him, Tang Er sighed softly, "Hey, county magistrate Chen, you can see for yourself."

After finishing speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yunsheng. It was the "letter for help" written by Tang Weixi.

Chen Yunsheng took it, opened the letter, watched it intently for a long time, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Yuan Wai Lang is eager to save his son, and he doesn't care about the reason that he can't solve the fire if he is far away."

Then he folded the letter and handed it back to Tang Er, and then said: "It's good that you are here, help take care of Mr. Liang, I have something important to do when I go out."

Tang Er nodded when he heard the words. Although he was also unfamiliar with the place, as an adult, he still had the confidence to take care of the two children.

Chen Yunsheng just ordered a few more words, turned around and left the house.

Until Chen Yunsheng walked away, Tang Guan said: "Second Uncle, when did you come to Chang'an?"

Tang Er heard the words and said in a sophisticated way: "The day before yesterday"

Hearing this, Tang Guan laughed and said: "We just happened to be on the front foot and back footed, and we have been tired all the way."

After all, he was traveling thousands of miles for himself, Tang Guan immediately thanked him, and Tang Er waved his hands again and again: "It should be."

Speaking of this, Tang Er couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Xiao Langjun, how did you come out? I heard from the official that you still saw the Queen of Heaven?"

Tang Guan sighed lightly and said: "It's a long story, let's go into the room and talk about it."

Immediately several people entered the house, Tang Guan told his experience, and when he told the story that Xiaoqi was unwilling to be accepted, he immediately added fuel to the side from time to time, and Tang Er's face changed continuously. He is a simple and reckless man with some strength. Suddenly, I feel that the sum of these decades of experience is not as exciting as Tang Guan's few months of hard work, but at the same time, it is dangerous and shocking.

After listening to this talk, Tang Guan continued to talk until the sun was westward. Tang Guan felt a little dry, so he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

When Tang Er heard it at the end, his face was full of joy and he said: "If the master hears it, I don't know how happy I am."

"No, don't tell him, let him know, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it." Tang Guan shook his head and smiled.

Tang Er also chuckled, he was a servant after all, although he complained from time to time that his master was a bit stingy, but it was undeniable that compared with most big families, the Tang family was no doubt treating their servants well.

This can be seen from Lao Wang's willingness to follow Tang Weixi for decades.

When several people were talking, there was movement outside the door. Tang Er thought it was Chen Yunsheng turning back, got up and opened the door, but found that it was a group of people holding food.

"Several officials, it's time to eat"

Tang Guan and Xiao Qi had just had a good meal in the brothel in the afternoon, and they were not hungry yet, so Tang Er took them over and closed the door.

"Second Uncle, eat by yourself, we are not hungry yet"

Tang Er was really hungry at this time, so he ate without hesitation.

While eating, Tang Guan asked, "Second Uncle, when are you going home?"

Tang Er, who had been grappling with his head, stopped when he heard the words, wiped his mouth and said, "Depart tomorrow at the latest."

"Why so early?" Tang Guan was taken aback when he heard this.

"Second Uncle, you stay and be my company. Brother Guan and Uncle Chen disappear early every morning." Seeing that an acquaintance who was not busy finally came, Xiao Qi couldn't help but persuade him to stay.

Hearing the words, Tang Er hesitated for a moment and said: "No, I still have family money with me. It's been too long, and my brother Tang San thought I took it for myself."

"Haha" Tang Guan smiled when he heard the words, and Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh too.

Speaking of this, Tang Guan's heart moved, and he took paper from the desk and spread it on the table. After all, this full house is where the government lives, and it can't be called simple. Every room is equipped with this ink, paper and inkstone office supplies.

Tang Guan picked up his pen and said, "Since this is the case, Second Uncle, then you can help us bring back the family letter so that father won't worry about it."

Tang Er nodded and said: "Okay."

Tang Guan immersed himself in writing, and Xiao Qi also gathered around and said, "Write me, write me"

"Don't worry." Tang Guan smiled slightly. It was written that the two of them were safe all the way.

Before finishing writing, Tang Guan raised his head again and said, "Second Uncle, don't tell my father a word of what I told you before I go back, do you know?"

"This..." Tang Er couldn't help hesitating when he heard the words. Seeing that Xiao Qi and Tang Guan were safe and sound, he was relieved and said, "Okay."

Only then did Tang Guan nod and continue writing, and stopped again when he wrote Lin Yuxun, sighed after a long time, and wrote the word "Don't read".

"Write my name, write my name" Seeing that Tang Guan seemed to be signing the money, Xiao Qi stepped forward and urged.

Tang Guan nodded with a smile, wrote the names of the two, and then finished.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, Tang Guan lit the oil lamp on the table, looked outside and murmured, "Why hasn't Uncle Chen come back?"

......

Yuhang, the pier.

This is an ordinary wharf, a merchant ship is unloading and unloading, it is already dusk, the workers are absent-minded, thinking about getting today's wages and going home.

Dao Wharf is not owned by one family. Ordinary merchant ships would have to evacuate within a day or two at most, but this ship has been docked for many days, but no one dares to come to pay attention to it. There is no other reason. This is a merchant ship of the Tang family. Afterwards, the officials in this area were somewhat jealous of the Tang family.

Everyone knows that Liu Xun and the Tang family are almost irreconcilable, and Tang Guan was recruited into Beijing by the saint again. As soon as he left, Liu Xun encountered disaster on the back.

These local officials, Sima is not a fool, although counting the time, this matter should have nothing to do with the Tang family, but still feel that it is too strange, those soldiers who raided Liu Xun are clearly the palace guards.

A burly young man was dressed in a green robe, which looked completely different from the surrounding workers, and also carried several large bags on his body.

"A few more!" The boy raised his head and smiled.

"Xiao Langjun, forget it, the work is almost finished, you go back quickly, or the staff will blame you again."

"It doesn't matter, I can handle it!" The young man was obviously Tang Niu who was with Tang's couple at home, and he came to work at the dock for some reason.

The foreman hesitated for a moment, and carefully placed another bag on the boy's back, when a voice shouted not far away: "A Niu!"

Tang Niu was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help taking a few steps back, dropping the big bag on the ground.

A fat middle-aged man stepped forward and scolded directly: "You don't study well at home, you come to do this hard work every day"

Seeing this man, Tang Niu grinned and said, "Father, it's not that I'm watching too much work. I'm afraid you'll be tired and I can't help you with anything else. I can do this for you."

"Hey..." This middle-aged man is Tang Weixi. Seeing Tang Niu's simple and honest appearance, he sighed lightly, and then said: "Go home for dinner, your mother is waiting."

"Hey, okay" Tang Niu responded, and turned to walk towards the carriage not far away. Tang Weixi then secretly glanced at the foreman. The foreman also gave a wry smile. There was nothing he could do about it. Still not listening.

The two boarded the carriage, and Chen Yunsheng wiped the sweat on Tang Niu's face with his sleeves and shook his head, "Don't come tomorrow."

"It's okay, Dad, the second and third children are outside, I'll help you more, so you can take it easy." Tang Niu smiled honestly.

Seeing this, Tang Weixi shook his head slightly. In fact, he also regretted it now. Since Tang Guan and Xiao Qi left, there was no news. He was afraid that there would be an accident on the road, or that Tang Guan's words would inadvertently contradict those important people in Chang'an.

But the most surprising thing for him was Liu Xun's inexplicable ransacking of his house. In Tang Weixi's view, he deserved retribution. Of course, if he knew what Liu Xun had done, he would probably have the heart to take a bite.

The two of them chatted, the carriage stopped, and the two got off and entered the mansion.

Seeing the middle hall, the lights have already been turned on, and Mrs. Tang is already waiting at the table.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Mrs. Tang stepped forward and scolded Tang Weixi directly: "How could you let the child do that hard work?"

Tang Weixi shook his head and smiled wryly, "Eat first."

Mrs. Tang didn't talk too much, she sat down, Tang Niu had a huge appetite, it was amazing, but fortunately he was not like Tang Guan who only eats but can't digest, Tang Niu grows faster and becomes stronger every time he eats.

Mrs. Tang would add vegetables to Tang Niu's bowl from time to time, and soon after dinner was over, the servants cleaned up hastily, and Tang Niu said goodbye and went back to his room to rest.

For a while, only the Tang couple was left in the room, and Tang Weixi asked, "Where's Xun'er?"

"Xiao Hua brought the food to the room"

Tang Weixi shook his head secretly when he heard the words, Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Do you think Xun'er is interested in Qubing, otherwise why would you not think about tea every day?"

Tang Weixi frowned and said, "What nonsense, how old are they?"

Mrs. Tang pinched Tang Weixi and said, "I was only thirteen or fourteen years old when I married you."

Tang Weixi smiled lightly, the two of them have been an old couple for decades, they have gone through ups and downs, and now they only want their children and grandchildren to be safe and sound, Tang Guan is already an unexpected joy, and the two adopted sons are even more happy.

"If you don't wait for Guan'er to come back, let's settle the matter and get started in a few years."

Tang Weixi immediately waved his hands and said, "No, Mrs. Lin's body is not cold, let's talk about Guan'er...hey"

Speaking of this, Tang Weixi let out a soft sigh, Madam Tang was silent for a while, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, what do you mean, are you cursing the child?"

Tang Weixi shook his head when he heard the words, it was rare for him to dismiss Madam's words, he was a scholar who had stayed in the court, he knew the dangers of the Daming Palace, thinking of the woman behind the curtain, Tang Weixi still has lingering fears.

After a long time, Tang Weixi sighed again...

.........

In the dead of night, the door of the full house was opened by the housekeeper.

Chen Yunsheng carried an extra bag on his back and walked in.

Looking at the room that was no longer lit, he shook his head slightly.

"Magistrate Chen, are you back?"

Suddenly a voice came from the darkness, Tang Weixi turned his head to look, it turned out to be Tang Er.

"Are they all asleep?"

"fall asleep"

Chen Yunsheng nodded slightly, and said: "Go and rest quickly, you can just help take care of your two young masters when you come."

Tang Er's appearance was indeed a good thing for Chen Yunsheng, so he didn't have to worry about taking care of Tang Guan and Xiao Qi, but Tang Er shook his head and said, "Magistrate Chen, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"bid farewell?"

"I have to go home"

"when?"

"Now"

Chen Yunsheng couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "So anxious?"

Tang Er heard the words and replied: "I have to catch a boat."

Chen Yunsheng couldn't help sighing softly, he thought he would come to help, but he didn't expect to leave so soon.

"Alright, you go back and report to the staff that everything is fine, and say that Qubing and Mr. Liang are all fine in Chang'an."

Tang Er nodded, thinking of Tang Guan's family letter in his arms, he stopped talking and said, "Farewell."

Chen Yunsheng waved his hand, Tang Er turned and left.

Chen Yunsheng put away the bag that looked bulging on his back, looked around the room where Tang Guan was, shook his head slightly, and then pushed the door open next door and entered.

Lighting up the lamp, Chen Yunsheng untied the burden, it turned out to be a brand new imperial uniform, what surprised Chen Yunsheng was that in the past, these officials who were a bit procrastinated in handling things, now they make it up a lot faster, thinking that tomorrow they still need commoner clothes to go to court, okay Make one in a hurry.

"Hey, Brother Dehua! The son you gave birth to is really unpredictable!" Chen Yunsheng stared blankly at the official robe and murmured, feeling a little uneasy about tomorrow's morning court. The second time I was summoned, I didn't know what strange things would happen again.
