Chapter 57 fifty six

Soon, Hu Cheng's people arrived at a small granary behind the Zuo Tunwei barracks. Chang Sheng personally went to the scene and asked the soldiers guarding the granary to hand over all the thousands of shi stored in the granary.The general who stood at the gate of the granary and guarded the granary asked Chang Sheng: "Commander, the grain in the granary is all shipped out, so what shall we eat tomorrow?" handsome?" The little school didn't dare to speak anymore. At this time, a voice came from the side: "No wonder you only look at the sky with your eyes. It turns out that you have become a handsome man!" Chang Sheng turned around and saw that the person who said this was An old man was standing not far away, looking at him fiercely, and a young woman was following him.Chang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, his expression became a little flustered, and he winked at a soldier.The soldier rushed forward with a few people and pushed the two of them, saying: "You are so bold, you dare to make a noise here, hurry up, be careful of the whip."

The old man who spoke was Chang Sanduo, followed by Caiji. The two of them went to Chang'an after a lot of hard work. They found out the camp site of the Zuo Tunwei Army, but they couldn't get in. They had already turned outside the camp. After a long time, I walked to the side of the road near the small granary to rest for a while, and I didn't want to meet the person I was looking for.Seeing those soldiers coming up to bombard people, Chang Sanduo scolded: "Don't stop me, I want to make it clear to this bastard!" The leading soldier became angry and pushed Chang Sanduo to the ground, cursing Said: "Old man, you are so brave, you dare to insult the commander-in-chief, you don't want to live!"

Caiji rushed forward to help Chang Sanduo: "Uncle, how are you?" Chang Sanduo gasped and scolded: "This white-eyed wolf, I'm feeding him for nothing!" He coughed a while as he spoke.Caiji stood up and shouted at Chang Sheng: "Lingguan, you can't do this. After all, he is your own father. Seeing him suffer like this, doesn't your heart ache at all?" Chang Sheng turned his back to the two, and there seemed to be a strange light flashing in his eyes. He waved his horsewhip: "You still don't drive them away! What kind of place is this, how can you allow unruly people to mess around here!" All the soldiers gathered together Swinging his whip, he drove the two of them away. Chang Sheng got on his horse, swung his whip and galloped towards the camp. The water splashed by the horse's hoof fell on Caiji.Caiji wanted to cry but had no tears, and shouted to the sky: "My God, what kind of evil is this?"

She helped her uncle back to the small inn where he lived with a full of misery and despair.Chang Sanduo couldn't support his body anymore, and lay down for several days.Caiji pawned several pieces of jewellery, and took some medicines for him, but it didn't help.Chang Sanduo looked at Caiji's thin face, his eyes were red, and he sighed, "My child, you are not my own daughter, but you are closer than my own daughter. That bastard Lingguan is my own son, but even It's worse than a dog!" Caiji comforted him, "Uncle, don't say that! Now that he has become like this, you don't have to be angry with him." Chang Sanduo said, "My son, uncle, I'm so angry. If you want to say that, you should die, find someone else, and stop guarding it! It’s not worth guarding for this beast!" Caiji gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say it, I don't have anyone in my life marry!"

At this time, the door creaked, and the shopkeeper came in.The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Hey, I said you two are busy." Caiji stopped what he was doing and asked the shopkeeper what's the matter.The shopkeeper looked at the bundle on the kang table and said: "It's nothing else. I have a small matter to discuss with the two of you. Can you pay some of the rent for the two of you first? My business is small and profitable. If the tenants We can't hold on to the debt like you guys." Caiji hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry, I'll pick it up for you right away." Then, she reached out to open the package, and there were only a few dozen coins and an old silver lock left in it.The shopkeeper took the money in his hands and weighed it: "That's all?" Caiji's face showed a perplexed look: "There is not much more." But it’s a big loss, so hurry up and pack up and leave! Hey, isn’t there a silver lock here, it’s worth three days’ rent, don’t let me lose too much!” He said, reaching for the silver lock.Caiji quickly reached out to stop him and said, "No, don't touch it! Return it to me quickly!" The shopkeeper had already grasped the silver lock in his hand, and said in his mouth, "Return it to you, and I will return it if you use the money to pay the rent. you."

The door was pushed open with a bang, and a voice came: "Put the things down, and I'll give you money!" As he said, a cloth bag was thrown on the table with a muffled sound. Several people looked back and saw a The big man stood at the door with his hat covering his face tightly.Caiji retreated a few steps, put his hands on the edge of the kang, almost fell down, and shouted: "You——" The man walked in and opened the cloth bag, revealing a pile of money, he took out some and threw it into the shopkeeper's hand: "These Is it enough for the rent? If there is too much, get me some food and drinks!" The shopkeeper picked up the money and left in a loud voice, and the man raised his head, and it turned out to be Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng sat down at the kang table, while Caiji stood aside and looked at him, not knowing where to start with a thousand words.Chang Sanduo turned his face to the earthen wall, too lazy to pay attention to his son, and kept silent.After a while, the waiter in the store brought the wine and dishes, and Chang Sheng picked up the wine cup and poured a glass of wine to Chang Sanduo, and said to Chang Sanduo, "Father, why don't you drink this glass? It's been six years. The officials have never poured you a glass of wine." Chang Sanduo snorted: "You still have the face to call me dad? You are a wolf!" Chang Sheng said: "You are right, I am a wolf! Get out of the city quickly and go far away It’s far away, don’t go back to Chang’an again. Take the money with you, buy a hundred acres of land, do a small business, and treat me as if you don’t have my son in the future.” Chang Sanduo turned his face and scolded: “ You bastard, I don’t want you to be my son, but what about Caiji, she has worked so hard to guard you for eight years, and she has performed filial piety for you for eight years without passing the gate, what will she do in the future?”

Chang Sheng shifted his eyes to Caiji, hesitated for a long time before he said: "Caiji, find someone else! Don't make yourself miserable, the commander is sorry for you, it's not worth you to guard him like this." Caiji's face was full With tears in his eyes, he raised his head: "Is it true that you have someone?" Chang Sheng didn't speak.Chang Sanduo scolded: "Speak up, you bastard!" Then Chang Sheng faltered and said: "Well—yes, I've already married a wife." Chang Sanduo was so angry that he pointed at Chang Sheng's nose and cursed: "What? Marriage must be ordered by your parents. You have a fiancée who has been engaged since childhood, so you dare to marry another room. Don't even tell me, you heartless bastard! See if I don't break your dog legs!" Said, waved a hand, picked up the sole of the shoe from under the edge of the kang, and hit it.Cai Ji stopped him and persuaded him: "Uncle, what are you doing, talk about it!" Chang Sanduo sat down without grumbling at his son.Cai Ji turned her face to Chang Sheng: "Even if you have someone, let me stay and be a servant girl, as long as I can see you every day..." At this point she was already crying, although this woman is not perfect Beautiful woman, but her appearance is very upright, and the crying comes from the depths of her heart, which makes her appearance very pitiful. Chang Sheng's body is shaking, his vision is blurred, and he turns his face away, as if he is very uncomfortable.

But after a while, he suddenly turned around, gritted his teeth and said, "No, you can't! You have to go! Get out of here." Chang Sanduo slapped the table with his palm, "Whose girl did you marry? Is there any woman in this world who is as good as Caiji?" Chang Sheng frowned and said: "To tell you the truth, I married the princess, the daughter of the prince, and the matchmaker of the prince's insurance. When I married this housewife, I kept my background from myself. If I recognized you Once the truth is revealed, neither the crown prince nor the prince will spare me." Caiji looked at Chang Sheng in surprise when he heard this, and let out a wry smile: "No, you are not the commander, you are not the commander!" Chang Sanduo was also very angry He scolded: "Caiji is right, you are not a command officer! You are a dog! I don't have your son for more than three days!"
