Eunuch Hao was choked in his heart. He didn't know how to reply to Ning Sheng's words, so he could only nod in agreement.
After getting angry, Ning Sheng leaned back in his chair and sighed:
"Go to Dr. Zhang and ask him to prepare a prescription and send it to Hyun, as well as some medicine."
Eunuch Hao smiled and said:
"Actually, the emperor is still worried about Hyun, right?"
Ning Sheng snorted coldly:
"I really want to break her legs and stuff her into the backyard."
Eunuch Hao smiled mischievously.
Hou Mochen's family continued to do their old business and lived an ordinary life, but Chong followed Hyun and saw the whole story with his own eyes. Even when Hyun was being tortured, Chong also saw it among the people outside the door, and the shock in his heart was indescribable. , although it only lasted more than a day with Hyun, he felt that he had experienced more in this time than he had experienced in the past twenty years, and he had seen a broader world.
Hou Mochen saw his son's thoughts. A good man has ambitions in all directions. He did not object to his son going out to see the world. However, although Mr. Zhuo had a bigger and better reputation, he was still a Han after all. Would he be like Why do some Han people bully them like that? The son he raised with so much hardship was not sent out to be bullied, but seeing Chonghun's distraught appearance, he couldn't bear to tie him up with him.
After a hard day's work, Hou Mochen called Chong to a place where his wife would not disturb him, and said to Chong:
"Do you want to follow Mr. Zhuo?"
Chong didn't expect his father to say this to him, so he quickly denied it:
"No, no, father, please don't talk nonsense."
Hou Mochen raised his eyes and looked at the horizon where the sunset had not completely set. The soft, warm orange-red color was both beautiful and warm. It was the last remaining warmth before falling into the cold darkness. He looked back at the home that had been shrouded in darkness. .
In this troubled world, both Han and Hu people are living a life without tomorrow. If you lie down today, will you be able to get up tomorrow, will you still be able to see the bright sun, and will you still feel its warmth? do not know either.
Then he looked at the soft and warm sunset:
"Do you think Mr. Zhuo is like the sun, making you feel bright and warm? However, the sun can also burn people. If you don't know how to protect yourself, you can easily be burned by the bright and warm sun."
Chong looked at his father with a vague understanding. He didn't want to leave. Although he wanted to follow that person very much, his parents were old. Although he was not the only son in the family, he also wanted to stay with his parents and be more filial and filial to them. .
Hou Mochen looked at his son and buried his face in the shadow:
"Your brothers have no ambitions and don't want to know the outside world. They think that the environment they are familiar with is everything. But you are different. The outside world is too tempting for men of your age. Go ahead and don't have any No worries, your brothers will take good care of us, and if Mr. Zhuo agrees to take you, it might be a good thing for our family."
After saying that, he stood up, patted his son on the shoulder, and walked home.
Originally, Chong could still suppress his heart, but after Hou Mochen opened his mouth, his eager heart became more and more uncontrollable. After a few days of thinking, Chong decided to follow Hyun.
On the day he left, his parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law came to see him off, and his mother held back tears.
Hou Mochen hinted her not to cry with his eyes, and then said to Chong:
"There are bad people and good people among the Han people. No matter what impression Mr. Zhuo leaves on you, you must protect yourself before you understand it. The sun can nourish the earth, but it can also cause harm."
Chong nodded with a choked voice.
Hou Mochen waved his hand:
"Let's go! My child, always remember that you are a descendant of Tengger, and Tengger will protect his descendants!"
After almost a month of recuperation, Hyun was finally able to go to the ground, but she couldn't move too much or walk too fast. She walked slowly in the yard, Yao'er jumped around and played, and Huami chatted with Hyun.
Yan Xiaomao suddenly ran in and said out of breath:
"Well, the man whose livestock was robbed wants to see Mr. Zhuo."
Hyun asked:
"Hou Mochen?"
"He, his son."
Huan looked at Yan Xiaomao and wondered if she was here. As for why she was so nervous, she thought as she walked out, but was stopped by Huami:
"Master Zhuo, are you going to go out like this?"
Hyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that she didn't put on ash or tie her chest, so she hurriedly walked into the house:
"Quick, quick, quick! Help me!"
But I walked too fast, and my back hurt due to the stretch, so I had to stop and grin, but they were waiting outside. It was not good from a etiquette point of view that I couldn't go out for such a long time. It didn't hurt anymore and it was quick.
He walked like he was walking around the house, but after taking two steps, he stopped and grinned. This cycle repeated, as if fast forwarding and paused, making Yaoer hold his stomach and laugh.
I probably cleaned up and went out to see Hou Mo and Chen Chong.
As soon as he saw Hyun appear in the field of vision, Chong bowed to the ground and knelt down:
"The Cao Minhou Mo Chen worships Mr. Zhuo!"
Hyun was startled by such a big ceremony. She suddenly felt a lot of pressure. She really wanted to kneel on the ground and worship him, but Ding Wangcai beside her held her arm to prevent her from kneeling down. She wanted to leave but was stopped by Ding Wangcai.
Cai held on to him and refused to let him go. In ancient times, it was nothing for civilians to salute officials like this. Xun had no choice but to walk forward. He wanted to go in a wrong direction to avoid the direction of Chong's salute, but he was squeezed by Ding Wangcai.
Can't avoid it.
Now Hyun was a little angry and glared at Ding Wangcai:
Who is the superior among us?!
Not to be outdone, Ding Wangcai glared even bigger than Hyun:
At times like this, you have to listen to me! How can a third-grade official like you not have any official airs or prestige, how can you convince the public!
Hyun’s eyebrows stood up:
Is this what you rely on to convince the public? What’s the use if you don’t let the people admire you from the bottom of their hearts?!
Ding Wangcai’s eyebrows are more erect:
What you want is not admiration, but respect! Only when you are respected will you implement your decision. Although the people are weak, they sometimes don’t know what to do!
Xuan Jie raised her neck and pushed towards Ding Wangcai:
So what? As officials, even if we hate them and want to beat them up, we have to be patient! Who made us officials? This is a responsibility that we must bear!
Ding Wangcai also supported Hyun:
He said something unintelligible again. In short, I will punch out those who are ungrateful!
The two of them walked in almost head-to-head, cursing each other with their eyes.
After sitting down, Hyun didn't forget to glare at Ding Wangcai, but he glared back, and suddenly he regretted instilling modern ideas of equality into them.
He sighed secretly and said to Chong who was still crawling on the ground:
"Okay, get up. Don't catch cold and get sick after crawling for so long." Waiting for Chong to stand up, let him sit down and asked, "Who bullied your family again?"
Chong waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, Han people are not all bad people, and we Hu people are not all good people."
Hyun glanced at Ding Wangcai proudly, and Ding Wangcai snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Then what brings you here?"
Chong raised his head cautiously, not daring to raise his head. Looking at the posture, Xuan simply poured a glass of water for Ding Wangcai, and the two of them drank the water and waited slowly.
After a while, Chong wondered why he was silent. He raised his head carefully and saw that Xuan and Ding Wangcai were discussing tea in a low voice. Xuan didn't understand tea and was teasing him with nonsense. Ding Wangcai knew Xuan's nature and also
Lai ignored her and just said a few words, then ignored her and drank tea. However, Hyun grabbed Ding Wangcai and asked him to argue with her. Ding Wangcai hid, and Hyun moved closer to him, and finally knelt down in the chair.
Climbing on the table, he said something with a playful smile on his face.
Chong was a little surprised by what he saw. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly. He was also a little shocked. This was completely inconsistent with what he thought the official looked like:
Do all Han people work as officials like this? No, no, that person before looked like he was an official.
His eyes were bright as he looked at Hyun who was climbing on the table and having fun with Ding Wangcai:
I want to follow him! I want to follow this man!
He knelt on the ground with a pop and said loudly:
"Master Zhuo! Let me work with you! I am willing to follow Master Zhuo all my life!"
Hyun blinked, sat down and asked:
"Follow me? Do you understand me? You want to follow me just because I handled your family's affairs? Listen, kid, I have no kindness to your family. I dealt with Dou Xiao because he did something wrong. It happened that
This mistake just happened to your family, there is no need to be grateful to me."
"I am not grateful, but I admire Master Zhuo. People like Master Zhuo are worthy of my following!"
Hyun sneered, stood up and walked slowly towards Chong:
"Reverence? Are you affected by those rumors? I am not as good-tempered as the rumors say, and I am not easy to get along with. When you are a commoner, I will suppress all bad temper and treat you patiently, but you have to
As my own person, I don't have that much patience." As he spoke, he walked up to Chong, squatted down and looked down at him with a cold face, "Do you understand?"
Chong was frightened by Hyun's expression and couldn't help but nodded.
Hyun got up and ran away with Ding Wangcai:
"When you understand, go back and live your life well."
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard Chong shouting from behind:
To be continued...
