Little Grape Chasing Her Husband

Tang Zhengyan was picked up by his little eyes just now, and his heart beat a little faster, and he was still surprised that he didn't know what was going on.But what was even more strange to him was that the food in the inn these two days was surprisingly good, every time the food served was extremely delicate, he was terrified to eat it, not knowing how much money it would cost.As a result, the person who asked the shopkeeper was only a dozen or so texts.

Tang Zhengyan is not a child from a poor family who has never enjoyed a rich life, and he noticed the delicacy and luxury of those meals after eating them twice.He is not an ignorant child who has never experienced the world, so he naturally does not believe that such dishes can be bought for only a dozen yuan, so he finds it strange.But he was about to take the exam, so he really didn't have the energy to pursue it. He only asked after the county exam was over.

He has been in a good state of mind these past few days, and he is very sure about the county exam.On the contrary, Putao was very nervous, and kept giving him tonics, tidying up the box and checking the pen and ink, and sometimes staring at him blankly on the table with his chin propped up, smiling and sad for a while, and he didn't know how to answer it. thing.And at some point, his address to Tang Zhengyan changed from "Zhengyan" to "Brother Tang".

Tang Zhengyan was as firm as a rock and extremely firm. Even though he was a little confused by Putao's strange behavior, he remained unmoved and did not affect his state of mind. He made up his mind to wait for the county examination before caring about Putao.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the county examination.Tang Zhengyan, carrying a big basket, and a group of scholars lined up in a long queue to enter the arena when the sun was dark.Putao grabbed his sleeve and stayed beside him nervously.

Tang Zhengyan was still calm and calm, even if he saw a scholar in front of him who was found hiding a cheat sheet and kicked out of the examination room, kneeling outside and crying, his expression did not change.On the contrary, Putao was a little startled, and swallowed nervously, as if he was the one who would be inspected later.

Tang Zhengyan comforted, "Don't be nervous, it's fine."

"Yeah." Putao nodded indiscriminately, reluctantly leaning against him.

His second brother, Dongfang Juncheng, is coming today. When Tang Zhengyan enters the examination room, he is afraid that he will be taken back by his second brother. How can he explain to his second brother then?He wanted to stay by Tang Zhengyan's side.Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Seeing his frown, Tang Zhengyan thought he was still afraid, and said softly, "As long as you walk and sit upright, you are not afraid of the inspection. Don't worry."

Putao twisted his body, and whispered, "Are you sure about this subject?" He didn't know Tang Zhengyan's progress, and occasionally turned over his writings, but he didn't quite understand them, and couldn't help regretting why he didn't Read more books with Taifu. (He followed his third brother into the palace to study with him, but the Taifu handpicked by the emperor taught the prince the strategies of governing the country, not the strategies of taking exams, and Putao didn't pay much attention to studying, so he only learned half-baked .)

Tang Zhengyan smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Seeing his expression, Putao knew that he was sure. In fact, she also believed in him very much. The question she asked just now was just for reassurance.

Seeing that it was Tang Zhengyan's turn, Putao suddenly mustered up the courage to hold his hand nervously, and said in a low voice with a red face, "Brother Tang, when you come out, I have something to tell you. You, you want wait for me."

"Okay. It's my turn, I'll go first." Tang Zhengyan withdrew his hand calmly, shook it secretly, picked up the basket and walked into the examination room, sighing silently in his heart: Putao, you are really strong, do you know that?Your palm was almost broken by you!

Putao stood outside the gate, staring blankly at Tang Zhengyan and entering the examination room after undergoing the examination. She couldn't tell what it was like, but she just prayed that Tang Zhengyan would pass the test!Only if they win the exam and then participate in the Chunwei Zhongjin Scholars next spring, will they be able to be together.

The door of the examination room was slowly closed, and the family members who came to see him off also slowly dispersed. Only Putao still stood there and did not leave.

He stared blankly at the door in a daze, wishing he could see Tang Zhengyan's situation inside.I don't know how long it took until a palm was tapped on his shoulder.

"Second, second brother!" Putao was frightened as soon as she turned her head.

Dongfang Juncheng was expressionless, and said indifferently: "Let's go." Then he turned and got into a carriage behind him.

Putao hesitated for a moment, moved over slowly, climbed into the carriage slowly, and sat in slowly.

Dongfang Juncheng said: "Do you still want me to invite you?"

Putao hurriedly sat down obediently, put her hands on her knees, lowered her head and said, "Second Brother, I'm sorry."

Dongfang Juncheng has looked at his younger brother up and down several times at this moment, and saw that he has lost weight and darkened, but he has grown taller and stronger. Although the arc is still beautiful and handsome, it is a little more heroic and handsome.

He nodded secretly in his heart.It seems that although the grapes have suffered a lot these days, they have also gained a lot.

But thinking of the man who entered the examination room just now, Dongfang Juncheng's face turned cold again.

"Do you know how worried your father and dad are when you run away from home this time? The father has dispatched the entire east gate, and the father has come to find you in person. Even the emperor's uncle has dispatched people from the government."

Putao shivered for a moment. She didn't expect the incident to become such a big deal. She said weakly, "I, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't expect to meet bandits on the road..."

Dongfang Juncheng looked at his anxious appearance, couldn't help but sighed, and said softly: "Forget it. Fortunately, you are safe and sound. Don't be self-willed when you see your father later. Father is very worried about you. Don't make him angry."

Actually, Dongfang Haoye and Beitang Yaoyue both knew about Little Putao running away from home this time.Dongfang's family already had a tradition of children going out for a walk when they grow up, so the two of them pushed the boat and asked Putao to go out and exercise.It’s just that Dongfang Haoye originally wanted to arrange for the guards of the palace to follow secretly all the way, but Beitang Yaoyue felt that Putao’s character was not tempered enough, and he should let him go out for a break, and there was no need to make such a fuss, so he rejected Dongfang Haoye’s suggestion , only a few dark guards from the east gate were arranged to guard secretly.

Originally, this arrangement was enough, but there are accidents in everything.When I was in that small town, one of the secret guards suddenly had a stomachache and went to the toilet, and the other follower was eating a bowl of noodles, and Putao took Xiaozhu out of the city.Since the hidden guards were ordered not to show their faces, and not to be noticed by Xiao Zhuzi, they were not in a hurry, thinking that they could only follow from a distance anyway, and it would be okay to catch up after a while.Unexpectedly, something happened to the grape and the bamboo in just two sticks of incense.

When they caught up, they only saw the corpses of the robbers on the ground.Xiao Zhuzi fled to the depths of the forest, and was rescued by a merchant passing by on another road.People come and go on that road every day. It is difficult to detect their whereabouts, but it is relatively safe.It's a pity that Putao and Xiaozhu are not familiar with the road, otherwise they would not have taken the most remote road.

And because Xiao Zhuzi hit his head when he fainted, he was a little stupid for several months, and missed the best time to contact the East Gate, so the more he searched, the wider the scope, and finally delayed until now.However, the grapes were indeed washed away by the river, and it happened that the location of Tangjia Village was very remote, so it was really difficult to find people.

Because of this matter, Beitang Yaoyue felt very guilty and remorseful, so she came out to look for her son herself, and she has been haggard a lot in the past few months.Dongfang Haoye also came originally, but there were a lot of affairs in the court, and it was difficult for him to leave for a long time as a powerful prince. He returned to Beijing after staying in Jiangnan for a month.

Putao heard that her father was very worried about her, so she couldn't help feeling guilty, and said obediently: "Well, I understand. I will definitely not make my father angry."

Dongfang Juncheng glanced at him and said, "Father will arrive in a few days. Don't say anything else, understand?"

Putao blinked ignorantly.

Dongfang Juncheng added: "Then Tang Zhengyan has saved your life, and I, Prince Jing's Mansion, will definitely thank him. You don't have to worry. There is no need to mention anything else."

Putao understood and was anxious: "Second Brother..."

Dongfang Juncheng: "What? Are you planning to not even go home because of an outsider?"

"No! But, but..." Putao's eyes were red with anxiety.

Dongfang Jun frowned slightly sincerely.Seeing my brother like this, he was really moved.It's not that he wants to beat the mandarin ducks, but Tang Zhengyan's identity has not been found out yet, so how can he rest assured that he will let his brother sink like this?Besides, Putao was injured once because of Qi Hengcheng's incident, and now he fell into it dizzily, how could he, as an elder brother, not plan for his younger brother?

"You care so much about him, do you know if he treats you the same way?" Dongfang Juncheng said lightly, but very sharply, and hit the point.

Grape froze.

Dongfang Juncheng said in a soft voice: "Although I have not received much information, I saw you with my own eyes just now. Tang Zhengyan looked at you with open eyes and no personal feelings. Putao, think carefully, don't want wishful thinking It is."

Putao blushed and stammered, "Who, who said I was wishful thinking. I will tell him when he finishes the exam. He, he, he will agree."

Dongfang Juncheng sighed, patted his head, and said softly: "Then let's talk about it after the exam. If you two are in love, the second brother will definitely support you. But before his feelings for you are clear, you ... Sigh, think about it carefully. In this world, there are very few men in love like father and father."

Grape was shocked.He might not have thought about the possibility of Tang Zhengyan rejecting him, but he just didn't want to think about it.But when he was in Tangjia Village, Tang Zhengyan didn't seem to have any particular liking for the girls in the same village, and he rarely had contact with them.

Once Putao and Tang Zhengli came back from the field and saw Erya from the fat aunt's house next door delivering wild vegetables to the Tang family.Erya is said to be the prettiest girl in the Tang family village, but with Putao's eyes, she naturally doesn't like her—it's not half as beautiful as him, hmph!But that day, perhaps because of the bright sunshine, Erya was wearing a simple yellow tunic sarong and a pretty round flying hairpin, with a delicate wild mountain flower inserted on it, her round and shy face unexpectedly He also laughed out a bit of the girl's charm. Even the young Putao, who hates all women in the world as his enemy, had to admit at that moment that this girl was beautiful and simple, which made people jealous.However, Tang Zhengyan's performance was very good at that time, he was completely unmoved, and he talked to Erya in a serious manner, which finally made Erya go back full of disappointment.

Hmm, from this point of view, Tang Zhengyan should not be interested in women!

Putao cheered herself up, glared at her second brother, and hummed, "I will be as happy as my father and father in the future."

Dongfang Juncheng smiled: "I hope so."

Although Putao did all kinds of self-comfort, he was still uneasy, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, and when the county exam was over, he didn't know what happened to Tang Zhengyan, he himself lost a lot of weight first.

Dongfang Juncheng took his reaction to heart, secretly worried for his younger brother.

Tang Zhengyan walked out of the examination room with a basket in his hand. He was still calm and demeanor different from the general listless and embarrassing scholars.Although she was thinner and hadn't washed and washed for a few days, her clothes were still neat and her hair was not messed up.

Just looking at this point, Dongfang Juncheng gave a secret praise in his heart.

Putao had been waiting outside early in the morning, and she had long been eager to see through. When she saw Tang Zhengyan coming out, she immediately greeted him happily.

"Brother Tang!"

Tang Zhengyan was very happy to see him, and said, "How long have you been waiting? Let's go back to the inn and have a good meal."

Putao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Tang, I, my brother is here."

Tang Zhengyan was taken aback for a moment, unable to react for a while.At this time, Dongfang Juncheng had already walked over Shi Shiran, and said: "I am Fang Ting's second brother, Fang Cheng, brother Tang is really extraordinary, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Tang Zhengyan just saw the man in front of him, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Dongfang Juncheng was quite ostentatious, he only wore a crescent-colored long gown, a silver gold belt around his waist, a silver-gray tulle lining, and a pair of white deerskin boots.

Although he looks very ordinary, he has an extraordinary bearing and is very handsome, and his every move has a sense of grace and nobility.And even though his clothes looked ordinary, they were all top quality.The fabric is cold silk cotton tribute from southern Fujian, the gauze is the unique thousand-ply yarn in Hainan, and the boots are made of white deerskin from the far north.

Tang Zhengyan came from a family in the past, and he was quite knowledgeable. He could tell Dongfang Juncheng's extraordinary status at a glance, and said politely, "So it's Brother Fang Xian's brother. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Dongfang Juncheng said: "Brother Tang just came out of the examination room, I'm afraid he's out of energy, I'll take you back to the inn first, let's talk about it later."

Although Tang Zhengyan seemed to be in good spirits, he was exhausted after several days of exams, so he was not hypocritical, and said with cupped hands, "Then thank you, Brother Fang."

Back at the inn, Putao had ordered hot water and meals to be prepared.Tang Zhengyan took a hot bath comfortably, ate another big meal, and recovered a little.

Putao felt sorry for him, and said, "Brother Tang, you can rest on the bed for a while, and I will call you when my brother comes later."

Tang Zhengyan couldn't sleep well in the examination room these days, and sometimes he could only lie on the table for a while, and said, "Okay, then I'll take a nap first. When Brother Fang comes, call me later, don't let him stay for a long time." wait."

"Yes, I see. Go to sleep."

Neither of them paid any attention to their conversation as if they were part of the family.

Tang Zhengyan lay down on the bed and immediately fell asleep.Putao sat on the edge of the bed and stared at his sleeping face obsessively, feeling that he would never get tired of watching him for a lifetime.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight cough sounded in his ear.

Putao was taken aback, jumped up and turned around, clutching his chest and complaining in a low voice: "Second brother, why didn't you knock when you came in?"

Dongfang Juncheng said helplessly: "I knocked, but you kept answering, so I pushed it in to have a look."

Putao glanced at the sleeping person on the bed, tapped her lips with her index finger and whispered to Dongfang Juncheng, "Shhh—don't wake up Brother Tang. Let's go out and talk."

He pushed Dongfang Juncheng out of the door and carefully closed the door, for fear that others would go in and disturb Tang Zhengyan's sleep.

Dongfang Juncheng felt a little frustrated for no reason: When did his fourth brother know how to take care of others?Almost reduced to a boy surnamed Tang.

He was depressed, Putao was not happy, pouted and said: "You don't know that Brother Tang just finished the exam and needs to rest, why are you here so early, it's so inconsiderate."

Dongfang Juncheng's face darkened for a moment, but he didn't say anything, he just said calmly: "Father is here."

"What!?" Putao really jumped up now, and said in surprise, "Didn't Daddy say it would take about ten days to come from Liuzhou? It's only a few days..." He understood later that it must be his father I was too worried about him, so I rushed all the way here.

Thinking of this, Putao felt guilty, and immediately overflowed with missing her father, and asked anxiously, "Where is Daddy? I want to see Daddy."

Dongfang Jun was sincerely relieved, finally the fourth brother still knows how to be filial.

He brought grapes to the house where Beitang Yaoyue temporarily stayed, which was not too far from the small inn where Tang Zhengyan stayed.

Putao hurried into the room, pushed open the door, saw the figure inside, and immediately rushed over, crying: "Daddy──"

Not long after Beitang Yaoyue arrived, she couldn't even wait to have a sip of tea and went to find grapes. She was finally persuaded by Dongfang Juncheng to take a break, and now she is waiting anxiously.He has profound skills, and he heard it when Putao ran into the yard just now, and he wanted to get up immediately to meet him, but thinking that Putao ran away from home willfully this time, it would be a big disaster, so he wanted to teach him a lesson, so He sat back with a straight face.But when Putao fell into his arms, he couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Putao, his eyes were moist, and he called out in a hoarse voice: "Grape..."

"Father! Daddy! Uwawa... Daddy, Putao misses you so much... Uwawawa..." Putao burst into tears.

Beitang Yaoyue feels distressed.He hugged his precious son tightly, patted his back and choked up and said, "Good boy. It's fine. It's fine."

Putao wept up and down, hugging Beitang Yaoyue was miserable.

Beitang Yaoyue comforted her for a while, but when she saw that Putao was still crying endlessly, she pushed her away and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, let dad see if you've lost weight?" Putao wiped his face, and sighed inwardly while wiping: Alas, raising a daughter is nothing more than that.

He looked at it carefully, and saw that the grapes had turned dark and thin, the round face before had become elongated, the childishness between the brows had faded away, and there was a trace of strength and firmness in the brows. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Did you know you were wrong this time? The rivers and lakes are not so easy to break through, and you will learn your wisdom from a pitfall. You must not be so reckless in doing things in the future."

"Yeah. I know I'm wrong. To make my father and father worry, Putao is not filial." Putao pulled Beitang Yaoyue's sleeve and twisted his body, leaning his head against his shoulder.

Alas, how caring it would be if this were a girl.It's a pity that it's a son, which makes people sad...

Beitang Yaoyue has long been accustomed to Putao's young daughter's attitude, but after seeing Putao's awkward little daughter's posture for a few months, Beitang Yaoyue's heart still twitched.Why did he feel that his son had grown up and became heroic just now?It must be an illusion!

Beitang Yaoyue touched Putao's head, and said softly: "Okay, since we are free, pack up, and we will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

When Putao heard this, his whole body froze.

Beitang Yaoyue sharply said: "What's wrong?"

Putao faltered and said: "I, I can't go...I, I..."

Beitang Yaoyue frowned.Dongfang Juncheng hadn't had time to tell him about Tang Zhengyan, but Beitang Yaoyue knew that Putao was rescued, and after thinking about it, he understood, "By the way, I heard from them that you were rescued. Your savior is also in this city, isn’t he? We must thank him for this matter. If so, we will stay for one more day.”

Putao blushed and lowered her head, twisting her fingers without saying a word.

Beitang Yaoyue saw that his expression was not right, she became suspicious, and said, "What's wrong? What's the matter with you?"

"Dad, I..."

"Father, you must be tired from running around all the way. Why don't you take a hot bath first? The child has already asked them to prepare meals. How about you chat with fourth brother after dinner?"

Dongfang Juncheng had been watching their father and son reunite after a long absence, and when he saw Putao wanted to speak, he hurriedly intervened.

Beitang Yaoyue glanced at her second son suspiciously, but said nothing, and said indifferently, "Well, I'm tired too, let's take a rest first, Juncheng, you go out. Leave the grapes to serve me."

When Dongfang Juncheng heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "Father, how can Putao take care of you so clumsily? Let me do it. I'll rub your back. Didn't you always say that rubbing my back is the most comfortable when you were young?"

"That's your old man, I don't need you to rub your back. Stop talking, go out." Beitang Yaoyue glared at her second son with a half-smile, her eyes were very sharp, and she became more and more sure that something was going on.

Dongfang Juncheng was at a loss, so he gave Putao a warning look, closed the door and went out.

Putao understood what the second brother's look meant, but he didn't think there was anything he couldn't tell his father about it.Of course, if it was his father who came, he would definitely speak faster and without hesitation, because his father would definitely support him.But with his father's words, he has to think about how to confess it better.

The hot tub had been prepared long ago, and Putao took his father's bath very attentively in the bathroom, and even took the initiative to rub his father's back.Afterwards, they even made arrangements for meals, serving tea and serving rice.

It was the first time in Beitang Yaoyue's life that her son served her so attentively, she couldn't help squinting her eyes, knowing it clearly.He first pulled Putao to ask him what happened this time, and listened to Putao talking about how critical he was at that time, how his life was in danger, how Tang Zhengyan and Tang Zhengli brothers saved him, how Tang Zhengyan meticulously helped him heal his injuries, how he took care of him, etc. , looking at Putao's eyes that cannot conceal the love of spring, what else do you not understand?

There is no doubt that Beitang Yaoyue is very grateful to the Tang family for their life-saving grace, but if her son is moved, she must examine it from another perspective.

"Father, Big Brother Tang is really a good man and very self-motivated. He will definitely pass the imperial examination this time. Daddy..." Putao described what happened exaggeratedly and passionately, hoping to leave a good impression on his father, but Seeing that his father remained calm, he couldn't help pulling his sleeves and pulling them around.

Beitang Yaoyue said: "What?"

"Daddy──" Putao elongated her voice, acting sweet and greasy.

Beitang Yaoyue pulled back her sleeves, said: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't be coy!"

Putao glanced at his father's face, hesitated for a moment, not daring to say that he fell in love with Tang Zhengyan.Maybe he should wait and let his father meet Big Brother Tang first to make a good impression before taking it step by step?But his father will definitely not let him stay here for a long time, he is running out of time!

Putao was so anxious that she almost cried.He just wants to find a man, why is it so difficult?If he was a girl, he could agree to her with her body without him saying it right now, and his father would never disagree.woo woo woo...

Beitang Yaoyue couldn't help feeling soft when she saw that his face was gloomy and his beautiful face was tightly wrinkled.In fact, Putao's narrow escape this time really terrified him as a father, and he unconsciously relaxed a lot of requirements for his son.As long as Putao is alive and healthy, and can live happily every day, nothing else matters.

That's all.Beitang Yaoyue sighed in her heart, and said, "Did you fall in love with that Tang Zhengyan?"

Putao was surprised by his father's sudden mention of the central matter, his face flushed immediately, and he faltered and couldn't speak.

Beitang Yaoyue smiled lowly, twisted his face, and said: "At this moment, you are getting shy. I don't know who, but since I was a child, I have been whispering in my ear that I will find a good man to marry in the future. "

"Dad---"

"Okay, don't get tired of me. Go back to the inn and have a look. If Mr. Tang is convenient in the evening, please invite him to meet me and have dinner together."

Putao jumped up: "Oh, bad! Brother Tang should wake up! I have to go back quickly! Daddy, I will go first, and I will come with Brother Tang at night." After speaking, he ran away quickly.

Beitang Yaoyue twitched the corner of her mouth.It is said that girls are extroverted, why is he so extroverted when he gave birth to a son?well……
