Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 673: Once I meet someone who agrees with me, I must hold it firmly in my hand

Not long after, Princess Yuchang's personal maid hurriedly left, and she gradually walked to the river.

When there was a sound of horse hooves, suddenly, there was a "plop", and Princess Yuchang looked like she had lost her footing and fell into the water.

Then he flopped in the river and shouted for help.

The domestic servants and maids on the river bank all acted as if they couldn't swim. They either shouted for someone to come quickly, or looked worriedly into the river and called to the princess.

Then a servant fetched a bamboo pole and handed it to the river very realistically. Unfortunately, Princess Yuchang seemed to be too panicked and kept flopping in the river, unable to grab the bamboo pole beside her.

After a while, they saw Ling Buyi, still dressed in military uniform, leading his black-armored guards onto the bridge at the lead.

"Ling Buyi, save me!"

As soon as Princess Yuchang finished speaking, her personal maid followed Ling Buyi and quickly advised:

"General Ling, in front of everyone, please hurry up and save our princess."

Ling Buyi just sat on his horse and watched coldly.

At this moment, the movement by the river also attracted many people to come and watch. Some people heard that the princess fell into the water, and they wanted to save others. Unfortunately, they were scolded by the servants on the side:

"Whatever you are looking at, get out of here and don't watch our princess's jokes here."

Yang Jiao and the two stood not far away, taking a clear view of everything that happened on the field.

At this moment, Ling Buyi said coldly:
"Princess, it's freezing cold, so don't splash around in the river anymore. You've almost dug up all the mud at the bottom of the river."

After saying that, he rode away.

When Princess Yuchang heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She looked down at the extremely turbid river water around her. She still didn't understand that she had done something stupid. She patted the river surface angrily.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout:
"Oops, there's a leak, and the lanterns in Tian's restaurant are burning."

Yang Jiao's eyes flashed, and as he was familiar with the original plot, he understood the true origin of Tian's restaurant.

Its shopkeeper Tian Shuo, on the surface, is just a smart businessman who runs most restaurants in the capital, but secretly he is the chamberlain of the former Emperor Ruo, and he has always had the idea of ​​revenge hidden in his heart.

Therefore, in these years, he used the restaurant as a cover to make friends with many powerful people, and used his sharp tongue to sow discord between them and Emperor Wen.

In the original plot line, the dignitaries such as King Yong and Xiao Yuehou of Shu were bewitched by him and did many evil things.

But then again, even without Tian Shuo, they would still go down this road sooner or later. It's just a matter of time, just because people are not strong enough.

Now, because Ling Buyi found out the clues that King Yong's eldest son was reselling arms, the Tianjia Restaurant was burned down.

Yang Jiao saw the crowds surging around him and his panic was spreading, so he held Cheng Shaoshang's wrist:
"Let's go. Tian's restaurant is in trouble. Your father will definitely be worried about your safety."

After a while, the two of them walked to a location not far from Tianjia Restaurant and heard a faint voice:
"wave."

Cheng Shaoshang immediately looked at Yang Jiao:
"It's Father."

Yang Jiao didn't say anything and walked towards the shouting.

When Cheng Shaoshang saw Cheng Shi, he immediately responded:

"Father, I'm here."

Cheng Shi heard the sound and went away. A trace of confusion appeared on his anxious expression, and he thought to himself:

"Why are you and Xu Xian together again?"

Immediately, Yang Jiao let go of Cheng Shaoshang's hand:
"Go back quickly."

A trace of reluctance flashed across Cheng Shaoshang's pretty face:
"My family will have a housewarming party in two days. Can you come?"

Yang Jiao smiled and asked:

"If I come to visit, people will definitely see my true face. If a large group of girls gather around me, would you like to see it?"

Cheng Shaoshang shook his head repeatedly. They had been together for almost three years. How could she not know the power of the face in front of her? She said hurriedly: "It is indeed a bit inconvenient. You'd better not come."

Yang Jiao took off the flawless white sword-shaped jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Cheng Shaoshang:

"The jingle of jingle rings worn by women refers to the jingling sound made by the ornaments worn by girls when they walk. It is crisp and sweet, graceful and beautiful."

"This is something I carry with me. It can also be used as a token. If I go out to attend any banquet in the future, I will take it with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi walked over quickly.

"Marquis Qu Ling, please forgive me for not being able to come to the housewarming party in person in two days. I will prepare a small gift at that time. I also ask Marquis Qu Ling not to think it is too shabby."

Cheng Shi replied with a smile:

"Mr. Xu, you have taken great care of my family in the past few years and cured my second brother's leg disease. To this day, I, Mrs. Cheng, have never thanked Mr. Xu. It is my fault, Mrs. Cheng, for being rude. Please Xu Gongzi Haihan."

Cheng Shaoshang raised his eyebrows and smiled charmingly:

"I told you not to be polite. If you both feel sorry for the other person, just be more kind to me in the future."

When Cheng Shi heard this, he quickly signaled with his eyes not to lose etiquette, and then coughed dryly:
"It's getting late, we'll go back first."

Yang Jiao cupped his hands to show his understanding.

Just when Cheng Shaoshang was pulled by Cheng Shi and turned to leave, she smiled sweetly:
"Don't forget, you still have to teach me how to play the flute."

After saying that, before Yang Jiao could speak, Cheng Shi pulled her and left quickly.

At the same time, he also whispered:
"Niao Niao, my father admits that Xu Xian's appearance is indeed extraordinary. Judging from the fact that he cured your second uncle's leg disease, his martial arts training is even more beyond my reach. However, you should not be too proactive when looking for your son-in-law. Good, otherwise it’s easy to suffer a loss.”

Cheng Shaoshang whispered back:
"I have had bad luck since I was a child. Therefore, when it comes to choosing a son-in-law, if you miss it, you may not be able to meet a better one. It is even more impossible to meet someone like Xu Xian again."

"Therefore, once I meet someone who is in line with my wishes, I must hold it firmly in my hand, otherwise the good husband and son-in-law will never get me."

Cheng Shi heard the meaning of her words and understood that his daughter still had a knot in her heart and could not forget that she was abandoned as a child. For a moment, his eyes were full of guilt.

Two days later, the Cheng family's housewarming party was held.

Many people who were old to Cheng Shi came to congratulate him.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, a cheerful look, wearing a golden and purple crown on his head, with a red gold belt on his waist, a general's belly, a broad and domineering manner, walked into Cheng's mansion with his wife.

The moment he saw Cheng Shi, he shouted without warning:
"My dear brother, I congratulate my dear brother on his new move. Congratulations."

As soon as Cheng Shi saw him, his face was filled with a sincere smile and he held his hands in his hands:

"Brother Wan."

The Wan family was originally one of the most powerful families in the world, with rich financial resources. Because Grandpa Wan died young, it was entirely up to Mrs. Wan to raise their only son.

He is this middle-aged man Wan Songbai.

Later, relying on the wealth left by his father, he made a fortune and became a military commander. At that time, Cheng Shi came to join him, and they went to the battlefield together.

The troubled times were dangerous, and the battlefield was even more dangerous. Cheng Shi risked his life to protect Wan Songbai and saved Wan Songbai many times.

For this reason, although he was Cheng Shi's boss, he treated him as a brother, and the children of the two families grew up together in the military camp, so the relationship was even more intimate.

So much so that the wealthy man bought two adjacent houses in one go as soon as he came to the capital.

When the two are put together and looked down, they look like a gourd with a small head and a large body, about four to five times the difference.

The Wan family half sold and half gave away the small house next to it to the Cheng family, thinking that the two families would be taken care of.

After the world was peaceful and the new emperor ascended the throne, rewards were given based on merit. As generals who had made great contributions, both of them received corresponding rewards.

Wan Songbai was even given a new house, so he gave Cheng Shi half of the house he lived in and half as a gift.
