Chapter 222
After leaving the noodle shop, Chen Ding asked Dingniang: "The noodles just now tasted really good! Are you full?"
Ding Niang whispered: "I'm full."
Zhang Yan looked at the sky and said, "Let's go and find Erlang quickly. If you can't find it before dark, you will have to spend money on accommodation."
Farmers are not very poor now, but the place is small and there are few people selling meat. They can’t eat a few meals a year. Moreover, the food in the farmhouse is light and they are reluctant to put salt or oil. The dishes in these restaurants are noodle.
They seem to be really delicious. Compared with later generations, people who are used to eating outside in the city are not the same thing.
Just as the three of them were discussing where to go, they heard the sound of horse hooves. People on the street hurriedly avoided the roadside and stared at the crowd coming from the city gate curiously. Chen Ding looked up and saw that there was standing in front of him.
Several flags, a high official behind him, and many soldiers surrounded him.
When the crowd passed, Chen Ding couldn't help but ask the people around him: "Who is coming? What a big scene!"
The man smiled and said, "This is Wang Zhan, the governor of the sanctuary! Compared with others, Wang Zhan has never liked to show off, so he is like this. If he changes to other governors, whoever dares to raise his head is afraid he will be cut down!"
Chen Qing stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak for a while. Unexpectedly, he could see such a big man when he came to Xinye. Now Wang Xiaoli ruled several states, streets and alleys, and fields, alleys, and in the fields, alleys, and in the past, alleys, and in the fields. It is said that he won gold in a row this year.
The story of the army twice. The more it spreads, it becomes more and more evil. Wang Xiaolie was described as having a tall and strong figure, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, able to open a five-stone bow and shoot 800 steps. Today, when Chen Qing saw him, he couldn't help but wonder.
After Wang Xiao hunted over, the three of them dared to take steps and walk around the city. After walking for a while, Chen Qing couldn't help but stop and said, "It's not a solution to walk around like this! I'd better ask someone to ask where to find it!
”
Zhang Yan sighed: "I have asked a few people, but who dares to say it? After asking too many questions, some people think we are Jinlu's careful work!"
Chen Ding looked at himself and Zhang Yan, and said angrily: "Jin Lu looked like this? No one in this city has brains!"
The weather was hot, and Ding Niang was anxious to leave. He whispered: "Since you are looking for an officer, you should ask a soldier. Or there is a yamen in this city, and go to the yamen to ask. Most people dare not say it, they must have said it."
Chen Qing slapped his thigh: "It's still my daughter's cleverness! The people in the city have obviously been ordered to not tell people about the military affairs. We might as well go to the yamen to ask. If Erlang is an official, will the yamen not know the name?
”
The three agreed and went straight to the yamen in the city. When they arrived at the yamen, they looked left and then couldn't figure it out. After finding a passerby, they found that there was a place dedicated to receiving the people.
When he entered the door, he saw an official sitting behind the table, looking down at a book on the table, and didn't know what it was. When he saw the three of them, the official raised his head and said, "What's wrong with you three?"
Zhang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This official, we are here to look for relatives. Because we don't know where our son is, we will ask."
The official said carelessly: "What is your son's identity? Which army is in?"
Zhang Yan said: "The youngest son is named Zhang Chi. Last time he wrote a letter home, saying that he was the commander of the cavalry."
"Oh, so that's it! Please sit down quickly." After hearing this, the official hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat to the three of them.
Seeing that the officials' attitude suddenly became so respectful, the three of them were worried and sat on the stool.
The official poured tea and asked Zhang Yan and Zhang Chi in detail when he joined the army, what battles he participated in, and what military merit rewards he received.
Zhang Yan was a little annoyed when asked, and suddenly he felt aroused, and he took out a letter from his arms. He said, "This is a letter from my Erlang to his family. I don't know there is an address or no one knows it. We asked someone to ask, but no one knows it.
Where."
The official took the letter in his hand and looked at it on the cover. He smiled and said, "This letter should be taken out earlier, with the address on it!"
After carefully looking at the address on the letter, the official said, "According to the rules of the army, if anyone visits relatives, the headquarters should send someone to take him back. The son is the commander, so it is natural that everything is easy to talk about. You sit down and I will send someone to inform you.
Someone from the army of the sons came."
After saying that, he returned the letter to Zhang Yan and hurried out. Soon after, he turned around and said, "I know that it is in the army. You can wait."
Zhang Chi and several officers in the camp were chatting about military affairs. Deputy Commander Cui Ping'an rushed in and said, "Commander Zhang, I just came to report to the yamen, saying that your family is here to look for relatives. Guess, they are here.
What are you doing when looking for a relative?”
Zhang Chi said: "What can I do? I haven't been home for nearly a year and the journey is not far away. I just come and see me."
Cui Ping'an shook his head repeatedly: "It's not that simple! I heard from the sender that your father brought a little lady to Xinye City for a blind date! Moreover, that little lady is pretty and very gentle!
”
After hearing this, several officers started to clamor and congratulated Zhang Chi one after another.
Zhang Chi blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You should have written a letter to me for such a big deal before coming. I didn't receive the letter!"
Cui Ping'an said: "Most of the people are not used to writing letters, so it is common for them to find them directly. I won't say much, you can go to the city with me quickly. If it's really a blind date, you will be in the city."
Stay for two more days and accompany the little lady to see the scenery around her. If it is done, remember to invite people like us to drink! Since joining the army, we have been together and have lived a life-long friendship. Let's celebrate together!"
Zhang Chi said: "It's natural to be good. It's just to control there-"
Cui Ping'an said: "I will tell the governor. Just go! I'll be on duty today and I'll give you a vacation!"
Zhang Chi was in a hurry to see his father and also met the person who was on a blind date. Although he said he was suspicious, he actually wrote several letters from his family that he had said he had said it to his family several times. After hearing Cui Ping'an's words, he had believed it in his heart.
.
After returning to his residence, he changed into casual clothes. Zhang Chi and Cui Ping'an got on the horse and came to Shinye City. In less than half an hour, he arrived in the city.
In the yamen, Zhang Yan and the other three drank a stomach full of tea and were anxious for a long time. However, the official's attitude was gentle and he found some words from time to time, and could barely sit still. Seeing that the afternoon passed, Zhang Yan became even more anxious.
At this moment, I heard footsteps coming here quickly. Before the person entered the house, a loud voice said, "Zhu Kongmu, I heard that Commander Zhang's family is here to visit relatives? Where?"
As the words came, two big men entered the house. One was wearing military uniforms and the other was wearing casual clothes.
After hearing this, Ding Niang was curious and secretly looked at it from the corner of her eyes. She was in her thirties in her military uniform, and looked twenty years old in casual clothes, and had a faint beard on her lips. She was not handsome, but she looked very handsome.
correct.
When Zhu Kongmu saw the two of them coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That's it. The three of them entered the city and didn't know where to look for it. Fortunately, someone told them that they had arrived at me and sat here for more than an hour.
It looks a little anxious."
Zhang Chi saw that there was a middle-aged man next to his father, and a little lady sat next to him. No need to ask, this is the one who came to date him. Dingniang was originally a passerby in Shaanxi. At the beginning of the year, Wang Xiaoli moved the people near Shaanxi to the south.
When I arrived in Xiangyang, I had white skin, clear eyebrows, and looked very gentle. I had a slim figure and was a bit taller than ordinary people.
He stepped forward and bowed. Zhang Chi said, "Thank you for your hard work. Why don't you tell me first when you come to Xinye?"
Zhang Yan said: "If you write a letter, I don't know when I will be here. We farmer have a lot of work to do at home. We have come here in a hurry while the weather is hot and the slack farming season is here."
After saying that, he pointed to Chen Qing beside him and said, "This father Chen, this is his daughter Qingniang. Come and see him."
Chen Qing saw it from the side, and when he talked about Zhang Chi's identity, the officials there changed their faces and were much more enthusiastic. He knew in his heart that Zhang Chi's status in the army was not low. Seeing Zhang Chi coming to see him, he hurriedly held him intimately
abnormal.
After saying a few words, Zhang Chi said, "It's not easy to talk in the yamen. Dad, let's go outside."
After saying that, he said to Cui Ping'an: "Deputy Commander, my father is here to look for his relatives, so he has to take leave these days."
Cui Ping'an waved his hands repeatedly: "Just go, just go! I'll give you five days off first, and I'll talk about it when the time comes!"
Zhang Chi thanked him. He hurriedly left the yamen with his father, Chen Qing and Dingniang.
Looking at the backs of the three, Cui Ping'an said: "This little lady is handsome and very well-behaved. Zhang Chi is very lucky!"
Zhu Kongmu said, "The little lady has a very good temperament. She went into the house and sat there without moving. She didn't drink water or say a word. If I want to say it, this matter is probably done."
