Chapter 66: The Adopted Daughter (Second Update)
Wu Chen looked a little ugly. Is this considered the leader’s care? Find someone to bury with you when you leave?
"Pinggu, you can change your name. I will accept you as my adopted daughter, and you will take my surname, Chen, and your name will be...Chen Nanzhu. Xiangyang has the meaning of the Four Gentlemen. I I feel very good." Chen Zhong suddenly became kind.
Wu Chen and Ping Gu were stunned.
The little eunuch became anxious and urged Pinggu: "Thank you quickly!"
Wu Chen knew that Chen Zhong wanted to sell him a favor, but Wu Chen didn't think it was a favor. A eunuch accepted an adopted daughter, uh... In Wu Chen's memory, most of the adopted sons adopted by eunuchs were eunuchs. It seems that this is not a favor!
Pinggu was completely confused. She was thinking of digging a hole to bury herself before. How could she suddenly recognize a high official as her adoptive father?
Looking at Wu Chen and Ping Gu’s dumbfounded expressions, Chen Zhong was very satisfied.
The little eunuch was very active and hurriedly brought a cup of tea over and signaled Aunt Ping to kneel down and serve tea. Aunt Ping looked at Wu Chen in fear, and when she saw Wu Chen nodded slightly, she knelt down to serve tea.
The little eunuch was so anxious that he wanted Pinggu to call out ‘adopted father’, but Pinggu pursed her lips and remained silent.
Chen Zhong waved his hand to stop the little eunuch from urging, and said: "Nanzhu, go down first. I will give Wu Chen a few words, and then you can go to the col together."
Pinggu, no, Chen Nanzhu turned back three times every step of the way. exited the room.
Chen Zhong put away his kind smile and said seriously:
“I like your magnanimity the most, and I made it clear today. I know you don’t want Nanzhu to take risks, but you You know, if you are no longer here, Pingnan Nan Zhu's beauty... I may not be able to take good care of her. There are many people in the court who want to eat my flesh and blood. A woman... the more I take care of her, the more trouble she will have for Nan Zhu. "
Chen Zhong paused. After a while, he said:
"She will go down with you. If something happens, you will have someone to accompany you on the road to hell. Otherwise, I will let her go down to accompany you. If nothing happens, I will accept you as my adopted daughter today. She will be your support in the future. You will be better than I promised you." It’s very useful, do you understand?”
Wu Chen understands it very well! There is still value in life, but after death, the tea will cool down. How can a woman be worthy of the Secretary's protection?
If he were a native, he would have knelt on the ground and burst into tears of gratitude, but Wu Chen was not a native, and it would be difficult for him to follow the locals so quickly.
Wu Chen only hugged Chen Zhong and retreated.
Wu Chen can usually say a few flattering words without delaying eating or drinking, but when he is in a bad mood, he is too lazy to say it.
Fortunately, he knew there was no danger this time, so he might as well take the big head with him.
Wu Chen, who had just walked out of the room, went back again and said this to Chen Zhong: "Da Tou is a bit stupid. If something happens to me, it will be harder for the Secretary to take care of him. Why not let him follow? When I went down, there were many people smashing the wall. If something happened, I would forget it and have no worries."
Chen Zhong naturally agreed.
......
The three people left the city in a carriage.
Datou looked very excited at the scenery outside the car window, and almost stuck his head out.
Chen Nanzhu kept his head down and said nothing.
Wu Chen closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then suddenly spoke, but his voice was not loud, he said: "This is a narrow escape, why do you insist on following me?"
Chen Nanzhu looked up at Wu In the morning, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Let's just make it clear. Your parents and brothers are all brainless and only think about money, but you have a brain. Meeting me in the graveyard is not a chance encounter, right?"
Chen Nanzhu still didn't speak.
“I rescued you, and your parents and brothers will be here early the next morning. Logically speaking, you don’t know my identity, let alone who the Secretary is, so where do you have the courage to come back? You went out with the cook? It happened to be seen by your parents."
Chen Nanzhu looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and she opened her mouth and sighed. He took a breath and lowered his head again.
"Then that night, my sophomore year Xu Da and I were attacked on the way to the mountain col. I was still thinking, why did they try their best to kill me this time? I have gone to the mountain col several times, why did it cause so much trouble this time? Their attention? Not many people know what I want to do.”
Chen Nanzhu spoke with a trembling voice:
"After I...escaped, I didn't know where to go. I was arrested by two people wearing ghost masks. I thought I was going to die, but I wasn't nervous or scared. But when they asked me why I left home, they said As long as I do them a favor, it will make me forever After leaving my parents, they promised to give me some money to let me leave Anping County... I don't know what help I can do, they said I just need to see what you have done."
"Did they take you to the mass graves?"
< br>"Yes, you came not long after I arrived. Before I was ready, I hid behind a tomb and watched you yelling and screaming at the empty place in front of me. I crawled slowly. I came out and climbed up to a small pit. You saw me... But, I I didn’t know they wanted your life!”
“I rescued you, and you had to tell them what you saw, so you followed the cook out the next day.”
"Yes, but they were not found."
"Hmph! You should be glad that you didn't find it. If you had found it, you would be dead now. Secretary Zun is not that easy to deceive."
Chen Nanzhu lowered his head and shed tears.
"Your parents and brothers came to find you early the next morning. When we were venting our anger on you in the yard, you saw them in the house?"
Chen Nanzhu looked up at Wu Chen in surprise and asked: "You, are you really a god?"
"What a god, why do you go to so much trouble to solve the mountain col problem? You told them that I can see ghosts, and also told them my agreement with the ghosts. Only then did they think of what I might do to almost fall in love. And Chu wanted to kill me.”
"Actually, you already knew." Chen Nanzhu looked at Wu Chen with tears in his eyes.
“You are alive because everything else is true. I don’t need to inquire about this. The Secretary will definitely order people to investigate. Fortunately, your parents and brothers don’t know the truth. You and the people from the Ghost Mandrill Gang know this, otherwise, none of your family will be able to "You know, but you didn't say it."
"I didn't say it because I knew you were a poor person. I thought about it after leaving Anping County. Find a good family for you to marry, and let the past pass. But you insist on following me! I think I treat you well..."
"You misunderstood!" Chen Nanzhu explained with tears on his face: "I saw Brother Gao and Brother Xu that day. When I was carried back, I knew that I had caused the trouble. They only said they wanted to know What did you do, who did you meet, what words did you say... At that time, I just wanted to leave my parents. I didn’t know if you were good people. I just wanted to take the money and leave Anping County to find my parents. Wherever you go, live one day at a time. ”
Wu Chen sighed softly.
