Chapter 3345 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 appearance 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.
Hong'er and the others were naughty and ran to his feet, but he would tease them a few times.
Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts.
At the end of the family dinner, everyone was extremely contented and happy.
After the meal, the table was cleared, and Yang Ruoqing, Xiaohua Xiaoduo and the others came over and gave the men freshly brewed 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...
Throughout the afternoon, the tea was changed several times, and everyone listened with great interest. This was simply more exciting and enjoyable than listening to books in a teahouse or listening to a play on the stage.
Mrs. Sun and the others finished clearing away the dishes and chopsticks at noon, and came over with stools to sit in the main room and listen to their conversation, talking about things that happened all over the world.
She had already said hello to 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 the intelligence network at Risong.
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 smack their lips.
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 security chief, Mr. Wang, and several other squires who were all well-known in Qingshui Town gathered around Luo Fengtang's subordinate Zhou, where Xie and his two lieutenants were changing glasses of wine.
While drinking and drinking, all kinds of flattering words towards Luo Fengtang poured into the ears of the two lieutenants 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. He 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."
"Looking at our Qi Dynasty, General Luo is the first person to be awarded the title of General Protector at the age of only twenty-six. This is really a great honor. We, the fellow villagers and elders, are all honored!"
Hearing Mr. 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 glass held out by Mr. Wang again, and drank it dry.
The security guard watching next to him secretly looked in his eyes and sarcastically thought 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 record his name in the town's household registration book
Cross out all the names of Luo Fengtang and even the Luo family.
Save the time when the nine tribes are implicated, the same town will be implicated and suffer disaster.
Or maybe word spread that his son was from the same hometown as Luo Fengtang, who murdered the emperor, and he would be implicated in the imperial examinations in the future.
Haha, in just one month, Wang Xiangshen's attitude has changed really quickly. He is flattered and flattered one after another. I'm convinced!
Here, after three rounds of drinking, Wang Xiangshen was so drunk that he burped and came to Lieutenant General Zhou's side, smiling and saying:
"General Zhou, Mr. Wang is not talented. After he won the imperial examination, he had no intention of pursuing an official career. He stayed at home guarding his ancestral property and lived an idle life."
"It is precisely because of you and the powerful 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: "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. Wang has a daughter who is sixteen years old and beautiful.
When I was young, I studied with a female teacher for several years. She is also very skilled at needlework and has a well-behaved personality..."
"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 listening to Squire Wang's words, 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!
Bao Bao 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 chief, so everyone tacitly stopped their previous conversations and glanced at Squire Wang and the two lieutenants here.
Vice General Zhou just smiled and said nothing, while Vice General Xie turned 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 and give you twenty punishments first."
Are you going to be punished again with a military stick?"
Lieutenant General Xie's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were about to burst.
Squire Wang trembled with fright and quickly slid down from his stool, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
The other gentry and wealthy businessmen headed by the chief security officer also did not dare to sit down anymore. They all left the table and stood respectfully.
Here, Vice General Zhou also spoke.
"Exceptor Wang, I just saw that you talked to persuade people to drink, and you had some rules, but I didn't expect you to be such an unreasonable and wishful person."
"Our great general who protects the country is a high-ranking official of the first rank of Da Qi. How noble is he?"
