Little Grape Chasing Her Husband

Putao ran back to the inn, Tang Zhengyan was already up, sitting at the table reading idle books, saw him running in, smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you with your second brother? Why did you come back so soon?"

"how do you know?"

"I couldn't see you when I got up, so I guessed that you were with your family. Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

"Yes! That's right! Brother Tang, you are so smart." Putao happily sat down beside him, and said, "Brother Tang, my father is here and wants to meet you... Father even asked me to treat you to dinner tonight." meal."

Tang Zhengyan was slightly moved: "My father is here? Oh, I'm so rude, I didn't prepare anything, how can I come to the door empty-handed."

Putao took his hand and said, "No, no, no. You are my savior, how can I let you spend money? This time, my father and second brother want to thank you very much. Brother Tang, you must not be too polite."

If it was just Putao's second brother, Dongfang Juncheng, Tang Zhengyan wouldn't think much of it.But when he heard that Putao's father had also come, he was an elder, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.Just looking at Dongfang Juncheng's demeanor, one can tell that Putao's background is extraordinary, and his father doesn't know what it should look like.

Tang Zhengyan thought of those rich elders he met when he was young. That kind of life was too far away from him, as if it had happened in the previous life, and it made him feel a sense of closeness to his hometown.

Dongfang Juncheng also came in the evening and invited him to the banquet in person.In this way, Tang Zhengyan couldn't refuse anymore, changed into clean clothes, boarded the carriage with Dongfang Juncheng and Putao, and came to the mansion where Beitang Yaoyue stayed.

The house is in the best location in the city, only a wall away from the prefect's mansion.Entering the courtyard, the interior is elegantly furnished, fine stone and fine wood, pavilions and pavilions, and the things placed in the house are all exquisite.

Tang Zhengyan had already made up his mind at this time, and without squinting, he followed Dongfang Juncheng and Putao in calmly.

Dongfang Juncheng observed secretly, and saw that his demeanor and demeanor were calm and generous, and he couldn't help but feel a doubt in his heart.

This kind of doubt soon arose in Beitang Yaoyue's heart.According to the information they got, this Tang Zhengyan was just a scholar who came from an unknown remote mountain village. His family background was weak and poor. How could he have such a calm demeanor that can only be cultivated by the children of everyone?Faced with carved buildings and painted buildings, rich and elegant mansions and gardens, he is not moved at all, as if he has lived in a similar place for a long time.

Beitang Yaoyue secretly became suspicious.Afterwards, he transferred Tang Zhengyan's papers from the prefect, and found that he was very knowledgeable, had a solid foundation, and wrote excellent articles. He must have studied since childhood and had been taught by a famous teacher.In a place like Tangjia Village, there is not even a failed scholar, how did he learn it?It is almost impossible for children from poor families to become talented by self-taught.Without a deep family background, you can't read it just by reading.Therefore, after the incident, Beitang Yaoyue ordered someone to investigate secretly again without mentioning it.

Tang Zhengyan followed Dongfang Juncheng into the main hall of the lobby, and saw a middle-aged man who looked extremely young standing with his hands behind his back.Putao jumped up and ran to his side, and called affectionately: "Dad, Brother Tang is here."

Tang Zhengyan was secretly surprised, because Beitang Yaoyue didn't look very old, only 37 or 24 at most.But he remembered that he had heard Putao accidentally mentioning that his father got married very late, at the age of 21.Dongfang Juncheng is the second son, and he already looks like 46. Based on this calculation, Putao's father should be at least 24 years old. (At that time, Putao turned the corner and asked Tang Zhengyan when he planned to get married. Tang Zhengyan replied that he dared to start a family without establishing a career. Putao comforted him: "So that's it. That's nothing. My father only got married when he was [-] years old. I’m married.” Of course he wouldn’t say that his father, Wang Dongfang Haoye, married his father when he was less than twenty years old, and he was the same age as Tang Zhengyan at that time.)

Beitang Yaoyue reprimanded Putao softly: "What do you look like bouncing around? How old are you and you are still so unsteady, so Mr. Tang will laugh at you."

Putao lowered her head and said, "My child is wrong." But she secretly stuck out her tongue at Tang Zhengyan and made a grimace.

How could he hide this from Beitang Yaoyue's eyes and ears?It's just that he has always loved Putao, and felt helpless, so he just closed his eyes and passed by.He secretly paid attention to Tang Zhengyan's attitude, but he saw that Tang Zhengyan didn't seem to care, and secretly returned Putao's smiling face.It seems that the relationship between the two is really good.

Tang Zhengyan saluted Beitang Yaoyue respectfully and said, "Next to Tang Zhengyan, I have met Mr. Fang."

Seeing that Beitang Yaoyue was obviously of extraordinary status, he didn't know what to call her for a moment.However, it is not wrong to call an older person "adult" and this is the most common address.

Beitang Yaoyue reached out to support him, smiled slightly, and said cordially: "Nephew, you are welcome. You are the savior of Putao, and our whole family is very grateful. From now on, our two families will be good friends. Please call me." Uncle, "Let's go."

Tang Zhengyan paused for a moment, seeing Beitang Yaoyue's kind eyes, sincere attitude, and no intention of guarding against temptation, he said kindly, "Uncle Fang."

Beitang Yaoyue smiled, seeing his calm demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing, she couldn't help feeling a little fond of him.While waiting for the meal, seeing Tang Zhengyan still face the exquisite delicacies of mountains and seas and the elegant and luxurious porcelain bowls and silver chopsticks, his manners are elegant, and he knows how to advance and retreat.

Putao bit her chopsticks and observed Tang Zhengyan secretly.He is not stupid. Looking at the posture of this table, he knew that his father was obviously a Hongmen banquet. The eldest brother retreated in spite of difficulties?And what happened to those two rows of beautiful serving maids?His father has only been here for a short time, how could he be so well prepared?

Thinking of this, he secretly glared at his second brother.

Dongfang Juncheng shouted in his heart that he was wronged.His father said hello to the prefect's mansion next door. The prefect didn't know how to curry favor with Prince Jing's mansion, so he rushed to send all the good things here.He was very low-key when he came to the city, and he never colluded with the local government at all. ==||||

After a meal, Beitang Yaoyue also got a little understanding of Tang Zhengyan's family background.

Withdrew from the table and replaced it with tea for dessert, Beitang Yaoyue sipped it slowly while talking with Tang Zhengyan about the recent situation of this autumn.

Tang Zhengyan felt that he had nothing to covet, so he had a very good mentality. Regardless of the wind and waves, I was better than walking in a garden.Just this mentality and demeanor left a good impression on Beitang Yaoyue.

"Nephew is in the middle of autumn this time. You can stay at my house when you go to Beijing next year. Although my Fang family can't help you with the imperial examination, you can do your best with food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Tang Zhengyan was somewhat confused about what the Fang family was thinking.Looking at the situation of this meal tonight, it seems that there is a bit of power.But during the banquet, no matter whether it was Master Fang or Second Young Master Fang, they were very gentle and friendly, and there was no intention of being perfunctory.He has seen that the Fang family's family background is unusual, but he has never heard of a family surnamed Fang in the capital with such power.Only that family...Although they are also surnamed Fang, they are not as good as the family in front of them, so they must not be of the same family.

Tang Zhengyan said: "Uncle Fang is too polite. When I go to Beijing, I will definitely go to the mansion to say hello to you. However, the younger family still has some money, so it is not a problem for me to go to Beijing to catch up with the exam."

Beitang Yaoyue saw that he was neither humble nor overbearing, and was not in a hurry to curry favor, so she couldn't help but smiled and clapped her hands.A beautiful maid came over with a tray.

Beitang Yaoyue lifted the red cloth on the tray, and underneath were ten ingots of gold and a jade tablet.Said: "You accept these things, it's just a little thought. It's a gift from the elders, and you can't refuse it. After entering the capital, you can take this jade card to Zhuque Street and find a house with two stone lions at the door."

Tang Zhengyan got up and cupped his hands, saying: "Since it was given by the elders, the younger generation has accepted it." He accepted the things calmly.

Beitang Yaoyue said: "It's already late today, I won't leave my nephew to talk. Let Putao take you back. We will leave for Beijing tomorrow. When that time comes, my nephew must not forget what I said today."

Tang Zhengyan said sternly, "I'm bothering uncle today, when the younger generation goes to Beijing, I must go to the mansion to pay my respects."

Beitang Yaoyue nodded, and asked Dongfang Juncheng and Putao to send Tang Zhengyan out of the gate.

Dongfang Juncheng did not send Tang Zhengyan back to the inn, but turned back at the gate.Putao got into the carriage and returned to the inn with Tang Zhengyan.

He kept his head down all the way and didn't speak. After entering the inn and returning to his room, Tang Zhengyan lit the candle and turned around, only to find Putao's eyes were red and tears had formed in his sockets.

He was startled, but his heart was also sour.After all, we have been together for so long, and suddenly we have to separate, and I feel very reluctant to part with each other.

"Grape..." Tang Zhengyan didn't know how to comfort him. He felt that he was getting a little hypocritical. He patted his head and said, "Don't be sad. There is always a banquet in the world. We will meet again when I go to Beijing next year."

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow..."

Tang Zhengyan hugged him helplessly, thinking why Putao loves to cry so much, what should I do?I used to think that he was a gentle and steady person, but now it seems that it is all an illusion, an illusion.

"Pao, don't be like this. Your father and elder brother came to look for you, and I am relieved that you go back with them. I will go back to Tangjia Village when the results of Qiu Wei come out. After the New Year, maybe I will bring righteousness and righteousness together." Shangjing, I will definitely visit your house when the time comes.”

Putao buried her head in his arms, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Brother Tang, I like you."

Tang Zhengyan smiled and said softly, "I like you very much too."

"No." Putao raised her head suddenly, looked straight into his eyes, and confessed word by word seriously: "Brother Tang, I said I like you, yes, I like you like a husband and wife. I, I like you, I want to be with you forever and be your wife, can I?"

Tang Zhengyan was taken aback, and stammered, "You, what did you say?"

Putao's eyes were even redder, and she said tearfully, "Brother Tang, I like you, and I want to marry you."

Tang Zhengyan subconsciously pushed the grape away and took two steps back.

He felt his mind was a little messed up, so he couldn't help but take a couple of deep breaths before calming down slowly. Only then did he notice the hurt look in Putao's eyes. He suddenly felt that his behavior just now was inappropriate, but he didn't know what to do. : "Pao, you and I are both men, this, this...not right! Not right! How can two men get married? How can you marry me? Don't talk nonsense!"

Putao said: "My father and father can get married, what's wrong? Dawen's law doesn't stipulate that men and men can't get married. Brother Tang, don't you like me? I, I really like you. "

"Your father and father?" Tang Zhengyan was stunned.

Putao nodded, and confessed with some anxiety: "Yes. Brother Tang, in fact, I lied to you. My surname is not Fang. My real name is Dongfang Junting. The father you saw tonight is actually, actually It should be my mother, his surname is Beitang, and my father is Prince Jing Dongfang Haoye of Wen Kingdom."

As if a thunder rang in his ears, Tang Zhengyan was numb.He said numbly, "Wait, let me think about it."

He held his forehead and turned around the room twice.Prince Jing Dongfang Haoye and Beitang Yaoyue of Wenguo Beitang's family are well-known throughout Wenguo.The two not only set a precedent for the marriage of Wen Guo men, but also gave birth to five children, which is like a legend for ordinary people like Tang Zhengyan.

Putao looked at him tearfully, and after a while whispered: "Brother Tang, are you angry? I, I didn't mean to lie to you, because I sneaked out of the house, so I kept saying that I was Fang Ting."

Tang Zhengyan gradually felt annoyed at being deceived, and said, "Since you didn't say it earlier, why did you say it now?"

Putao lowered her head, moved her feet uneasily, and said, "I, I have wanted to confess to you for a long time, but it has been a long time, and I, I dare not say it..."

"Then your father lied to me too?" Tang Zhengyan couldn't believe it. As an elder, how could Beitang Yaoyue do this?

Putao hurriedly said: "No, no, Dad didn't want to lie to you, but he wanted me to tell you myself, so he didn't expose my lie. Besides, my father and second brother also called themselves Fang when they were outside."

"That's right. Prince Jing's Mansion is so powerful, how can it be easily revealed to ordinary people. Wouldn't it be troublesome if you meet someone who is trying to gain power?" Tang Zhengyan sneered.

Putao felt sad, shed tears, choked up and said, "No. No, Brother Tang..."

Tang Zhengyan waved his hand, and said a little tiredly: "Stop talking. Pu... Young Master Dongfang, I'm a little tired, you should go back first."

"Brother Tang!" Putao called out.

Tang Zhengyan recalled his confession just now, thought it over, and said slowly: "Master Dongfang, your intentions are really unacceptable to Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang doesn't like men, so he can only let you down."

Putao turned pale and froze in place.

Seeing his appearance, Tang Zhengyan softened his heart for a moment, but then hardened his heart when he thought of the gender and identity gap between the two parties, and said coldly: "I really can't respond to your wishes, you go, I want to rest. "

Putao burst into tears, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.He took a step forward, grabbed Tang Zhengyan's sleeve, and finally said with all his strength: "Brother Tang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you. I, I really like you, think about it. Although I'm a man ,but I……"

Tang Zhengyan's heart ached for a moment, but then he decisively slapped Putao's hand off, turned his back and interrupted him coldly: "Young Master Dongfang, please respect yourself! I'll say it again, please leave!"

Putao didn't want to leave, but Tang Zhengyan didn't give him a chance to talk, he dug out the package of the two of them, found Putao's stuff and stuffed it into his arms, seeing that he was standing still, he had to push him, and urged: : "You go. Don't make me hate you."

This last sentence completely broke Grape.He was in a daze, not knowing how he left, so he didn't notice the sadness in Tang Zhengyan's eyes when he turned his head away.

Putao felt the ground shaking under his feet, so he had to hold on to the wall.He felt that the sky was falling, and he was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.

Walking out of the inn, he squatted on the ground covering his chest, buried his head between his knees, curled himself into a ball, and cried so hard that he couldn't help himself.

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle hand landed on Putao's shoulder and patted it lightly.

Putao raised his face blurred with tears, looked at the familiar and kind face in front of him, and called out miserably: "Dad, wow──"

He hugged Beitang Yaoyue's legs and cried loudly.

Beitang Yaoyue put her arms around his shoulders and patted him tenderly, and said softly: "Tao, love is a word, you can't force it at all. Even if you cry again, if he doesn't like you, he still doesn't like you."

Putao cried out of breath.Beitang Yaoyue had no choice but to touch his acupuncture point and hug him up.

Dongfang Juncheng stood beside him and stomped his feet: "I knew it would happen."

"Okay. Pick up the bag of grapes and let's go back."

"Father, apart from Putao's sword, you don't need any of these rags."

Beitang Yaoyue glared at him: "I'll let you pick it up!"

Dongfang Juncheng sighed helplessly, picked up the burden on the ground, and left with Beitang Yaoyue with the grapes.

Putao didn't wake up until noon the next day in a drowsy state.After waking up, he didn't want to get up, so he just stared at the top of the bed in a daze.In a daze, tears flowed down again.

Beitang Yaoyue came in, sat down by the bed, patted him and said, "Get up when you wake up. Have something to eat, let's go back to the capital."

Putao shook her head, lifted the quilt up to cover her face, and wept silently.

Beitang Yaoyue frowned, said: "Pao, Dad knows you are sad, but crying is not the answer. You have to cheer up."

Putao was bored for a while, then choked and said, "Father, I feel sad, please let me stay by myself for a while."

Beitang Yaoyue said: "I'll give you a day, we'll go back to Yujing tomorrow. Lunch is on the table, you must get up and eat, you know?"

Grape said nothing.Beitang Yaoyue had no choice but to get up and leave.

In the evening, Putao finally opened the door, her eyes were red and swollen like two peaches.He said hoarsely, "Father, let's go back to Yuejing tomorrow."

Beitang Yaoyue frowned and said, "Are you okay?"

Putao lowered her head and said softly, "It's okay. It's my fault for worrying Dad. I'll cheer myself up."

Beitang Yaoyue nodded and said nothing more. No one can help him with "feeling" this thing, only he can come out by himself.

The next day, Beitang Yaoyue left here with Dongfang Juncheng and Putao, and returned to Yujing.

Dongfang Haoye was overjoyed to see his son whom he had not seen for several months, hugging and kissing the grapes, calling him "my heart" and "Daddy's good girl" (you read that right, the little prince went crazy At that time, she called Putao "daughter".

Putao cried again in his arms.The little prince has already learned about his son's lovelorn from the letter from his concubine Ai, that's a heartache.At this time, seeing his son crying silently, his head became hot immediately, and he held Putao firmly and said: "Don't worry, girl! As long as you like it, Father Wang Qiang will also snatch him to be your husband! Ouch──"

Beitang Yaoyue slapped him on the back of the head, and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Dongfang Haoye said angrily: "Where am I talking nonsense! What's wrong with our grapes? We need appearance, status, status, dowry, martial arts, and martial arts. She is simply the most perfect bride in the world." So he dares to dislike it? He dislikes his life too long, doesn’t he!”

Beitang Yaoyue stared: "How dare you say that? People's will can't be forced, and you still want to give your son a husband? You're good at it!"

Dongfang Haoye pouted unconvincedly: "I'm just complaining about our Putao. Good Putao, don't pay attention to your father, this cruel man." After speaking, he gave Beitang Yaoyue a look, hugged Putao and said: " Father loves you, father will help you find a way."

Putao said softly with red eyes: "Father, I know you love me, but don't make it difficult for Brother Tang. Brother Tang is a good man, he is really good to me. He, he...he just doesn't like me That’s all.” He lowered his head dejectedly, then pulled himself together again, raised his face and squeezed out a difficult smile, and said, “I’ve already figured it out, there’s no rule in this world that I like someone, the other person must like it Me. This kind of thing cannot be forced. Father, Big Brother Tang did nothing wrong, don’t blame him, and don’t make things difficult for him, okay?”

Dongfang Haoye is really distressed.Ouch, his Putao has really grown up and become sensible, but it's so heartbreaking, I really wish he never grew up.

Dongfang Haoye felt that his heart was going to be broken into pieces, and he hugged the grape for a while with affection and affection.In the end, Beitang Yaoyue couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed his ear and pulled him away from her son, frowning faintly: "You are enough! Let Putao go back to rest. How long are you going to hug him and rub him. "

Putao has long been impatient with being hugged by his father.Kissing and hugging, even a girl can't take it anymore, she's sweating all over after such a short time.Seeing his father pulling his father away, Putao seized the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Father, Daddy, I'll go down and wash up, and I'll come back tonight to say hello to you." After speaking, he ran away quickly.

Dongfang Haoye looked at his son's back from a distance, and sighed with tears in his eyes: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh I also gained muscle, but it’s a pity that it’s hard, and it’s not as comfortable as before.”

Beitang Yaoyue couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped him on the back of the head again, cursing: "Have you had enough of the sadness of Sad Fengqiuyue? You should be happy when your son comes back, it's not enough for you to cry!"

Dongfang Haoye rubbed the back of his head habitually, sighed, and said, "I feel distressed. Did you hear what Putao said just now? This child is really moved this time, which is different from the verbal jokes of the Qi family boy last time." , I think this time his heart is really going to be broken."

Beitang Yaoyue frowned: "It's not possible. A man, how can he always be in love with his children? After a long time, it will pass slowly."

The members of their Beitang family are relatively indifferent and arrogant. Unless the other party posts 12 points to show their favor, it is difficult for them to be emotional.At the beginning, it was Dongfang Haoye who stalked him so hard that he was unknowingly moved, otherwise he might not know what "love" is like in this life.

Now Beitang Yaoyue and Dongfang Haoye are in love with each other, and their affection is added. She really can't understand the unrequited love for Putao, so she speaks a little lightly.

Dongfang Haoye is just the opposite.Although the people from their Dongfang family are more enthusiastic and playful, once they are serious, it is a matter of a lifetime, and they are actually very specific in their emotions.At that time, he fell in love with Beitang Yaoyue bitterly, and it was hard work to chase after him. Even after getting married, he even gave himself a seven-day forgetfulness. Looking back now, it is all bitter tears.Therefore, he can understand Putao's mood best, and he pointed at Beitang Yaoyue angrily and said, "Aifei, you are too much! How can you not care about your son so much!"

Beitang Yaoyue said: "Who said I don't care about my son? I just think you're making a fuss over a molehill. Although Putao is sad now, no matter how deep the relationship is, it will pass after a long time. Don't always mention these things in front of him. Let him rest well and he will come out."

Dongfang Haoye shook his head and said: "You don't understand. You don't understand. Sigh, how can it be so easy to forget someone who truly loves you? See, I started thinking about you when I was only 12 years old, and I haven't forgotten you after so many years. I finally got you. What is this called? This is called true love!"

When Beitang Yaoyue heard the phrase "I finally got you", the corners of her eyes twitched, her palms felt itchy, and she really wanted to slap the little prince again.

Dongfang Haoye was still there analyzing: "Although I haven't met Tang Zhengyan, but after hearing the description from you and Guoguo, he is a man of integrity and talent. Putao was rescued by him, and it is inevitable that he will become dependent. This Tang Zhengyan has a good personality and temperament, so it’s not uncommon to fall in love with him. If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see, I can’t forget the one whose surname is Tang when I see Putao this time.”

He has already made up his mind to ask the people from Dongmen to investigate Tang Zhengyan in private. If he is really a good person and Putao really likes him, he will try his best to help his son get this "beautiful son-in-law"!

Dongfang Haoye was thinking in his heart, and laughed.

Beitang Yaoyue knew what he was thinking without asking, she couldn't help sighing, and decided to let him go.Anyway, no one can stop what this guy is going to do, as long as he knows it in his heart.
