Chapter 3338 Hell on Earth
Although he couldn't see it with his own eyes, based on Yang Ruoqing's words, Luo Fengtang still pictured the cute look of the little girl in his mind, and his eyes became gentle.
When lunch was served, Luo Fengtang naturally became the protagonist.
Everyone was vying to toast him, but Luo Fengtang behaved appropriately and did not neglect his relatives and friends because of his rising status.
Especially towards the elders in his father-in-law's family, he was even more respectful. When he took the initiative to toast Yang Huazhong and several uncles, he stood up.
We also had a lot of fun chatting with Yang Yongjin and his brothers-in-law.
Honger and the others were naughty and ran to his feet, and he would tease them a few times.
Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts.
After the family dinner, everyone was extremely content and happy.
After the meal, the table was cleared, and Yang Ruoqing, Xiaohua Xiaoduo and the others came over and gave the men fresh tea, as well as melon seeds, fruits, and other snacks after the meal.
Everyone gathered around Luo Fengtang and listened to him talk about what happened in Helanzhou over the past year, talking about the drought, the insect plague, the refugees, and the rebellious King Su...
For a whole afternoon, tea and water were exchanged. I listened to it several times, and everyone listened with great interest. It was simply more exciting and enjoyable than listening to books in a teahouse or listening to a play on the stage.
Sun and the others finished clearing the dishes at noon and came over with stools to sit in the main room and listen to their conversation, talking about things from all over the world.
She had already greeted Bao Suyun and the others before, and she would stay to help cook the meal at night, because judging from the momentum, there should be two tables for the family at night.
Yang Ruoqing was also sitting among the women, cracking melon seeds in her mouth, looking at the men's table, and listening to Luo Fengtang telling them about the outside world.
In fact, she had already heard of many of the things here during her interactions with Luo Fengtang's letters home, and some of them were obtained through Narisong's intelligence network.
But now when she heard these things from Luo Fengtang's mouth, she was once again deeply shocked like everyone else.
Especially when we heard that in places with serious famines, some people exchanged their children for food, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
It was simply hell on earth.
Compared with the miserable situation over there, this place is really paradise.
While everyone was chatting together in the main hall of Yang Huazhong's house, people were also drinking and drinking in the VIP Building in Qingshui Town, dozens of miles away.
The chief security officer, Mr. Wang, and several other well-known squires and officials in Qingshui Town gathered around Luo Fengtang's subordinate Zhou, where the two lieutenants Xie were exchanging glasses of wine.
While drinking and drinking, all kinds of flattering words towards Luo Fengtang poured into the ears of the two adjutants Zhou and Xie like a torrential flood.
Squire Wang picked up the wine and stood up and said to Vice General Zhou: "General Luo is young and promising, and is the pride of our people in Qingshui Town. This trip to escort the emperor to Helanzhou to relieve disasters and quell chaos is even more indispensable. ”
< br> "Looking at our Qi Dynasty, General Luo is the first person to be awarded the title of General Protector at the age of just twenty-six. This is really a great honor. We, the villagers and elders, are all honored. ! ”
Hearing Squire Wang's praise of his general, Adjutant Zhou also smiled. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and clinked it with the one held out by Squire Wang again before sipping it dry.
The security guard on the side looked secretly in his eyes and secretly sarcastic that this Squire Wang was really hypocritical. A month ago, when Luo Fengtang was charged with poisoning the emperor, Wang Xiangshen was the first to rush to the Baochang's house, hoping that the Baochang would go to the county government office to find the county magistrate, and the town's household registration record book Cross out all the names of Luo Fengtang and even the Luo family.
When the province got the chance to implicate the nine tribes, the same town was implicated and suffered.
Or it could be spread that his son is from the same hometown as Luo Fengtang, who murdered the emperor, and he will be implicated in the imperial examination in the future.
Haha, in just one month, Wang Xiangshen's attitude has changed really quickly. He is flattered one after another. I'm convinced!
Here, after three rounds of drinking, Mr. Wang was so drunk that he burped and came to the side of Vice General Zhou. He smiled and said:
"General Zhou, Mr. Wang is not talented. After I was elected as a junior, I had no intention of pursuing an official career and lived an idle life guarding my ancestral business at home."
"Just right. It is because of you and the strong generals like the Protector General who are protecting our country that we, the people, can live and work in peace and contentment. You are the heroes and the pillars of the country. I, the King, admire you soldiers the most in my life!"
Vice General Zhou and Vice General Xie looked at each other, and both smiled faintly and distantly, without commenting.
Yes, they themselves think they are great.
Before Squire Wang finished speaking, he continued: "Mr. Wang has admired the general who protects the country for a long time. Today I saw that the general is really a leader among people. Mr. Wang has a daughter at his knees. She is just 20 years old. 16. She has beautiful appearance. She studied with a female teacher for several years when she was young. She is also skilled in needlework and has a good temperament. Even more well-behaved..."
"If the general who protects the country does not dislike it, Mr. Wang is willing to dedicate his daughter to the general so that he can serve the general well. What do the two lieutenants think?"
After hearing what Squire Wang said, the security guard next to him tightened his fingers on the wine glass.
This old fox Wang has been twisting and turning for so long, so he wants to send his daughter to climb a high branch?
Hahaha, this wishful thinking actually ended up in the same place as me!
Guan Guo took a deep breath and pretended to have a polite smile on his face, but his ears were perked up to hear the attitude of the two lieutenants Zhou Xie.
There were several people at the table who had the same thoughts as the security guard, so everyone tacitly stopped their previous conversations and glanced at Squire Wang and the two people here. Lieutenant General.
Vice General Zhou just smiled and said nothing, while Vice General Xie became dark on the spot.
Vice General Xie put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, causing the wine in the glass to spill out.
"Wang Yuanwai, you are so cowardly that you dare to covet our country-protecting general. Do you know that you are committing the following crime? According to the laws of Daqi, I can drag you out right now and give you twenty punishments first." Will the military stick punish you again?”
Vice General Xie’s eyebrows were raised and his eyes were about to split.
Wang Squire trembled with fright and quickly slid off the stool and knelt on the ground to kowtow to apologize.
Other gentry officials and wealthy businessmen headed by Baozhang also did not dare to sit down anymore, and left the table one after another and stood respectfully.
Here, Vice General Zhou also spoke.
"Wang Yuanwai, I just saw that you were talking to drink wine, and you had some rules, but I didn't expect you to be such an unreasonable and wishful person." How noble is a high-ranking official? ”
“I think back in the capital, in order to reward our general, the emperor intended to give a princess from the royal family to the general, but our general refused.”
