Chapter 589 The meeting of nephew and uncle, close relatives by blood
Yunhai City.
Except for the main city E'nan City in the four cities in southern Xinjiang, the other three cities are similar in terms of land area and construction history. A good learning environment for the children, and soldiers were also organized to build every road leading to Hanling Academy. Now the basic villages have access roads, which greatly facilitates the common people, and the common people no longer always reject it like they did at the beginning There are outsiders, and when soldiers building roads pass by their houses, the common people will enthusiastically bring them tea to quench their thirst. Of course, that is a situation that only Shanyang City can see, Tianhong City and Yunhai City are not yet possible.
According to the agreement, after changing his appearance last night, Yuan Shaoqi took advantage of the darkness to leave E'nan City, quietly nested in the dormitory built by the factory outside the city for the night, and rushed to Yunhai City early the next morning. The Tuoba family did not explain How to get in touch with them? After entering the city, Yuan Shaoqi randomly found an inn and walked in. He didn't ask for a private room, so he just sat in the lobby.
"What do you need, sir?"
The shop waiter warmly greeted him, and when he was bending over to wipe the table, a rolled up paper ball was thrown on his lap, Yuan Shaoqi said calmly, "One serving of porridge and steamed buns, and two side dishes for dinner."
"Good rib, wait a moment, guest officer!"
Xiaoer raised his voice and retreated, Yuan Shaoqi didn't remember to read the contents of the paper ball, after Xiaoer delivered breakfast, he pretended to be in a hurry to eat and pay the bill and left, and then rode to the south of the city, although he didn't know How could the people of the Tuoba family be so supernatural, able to recognize him after his disguise, but since they took the initiative to contact him, it should be a member of the Tuoba family, right?
In the depths of a small alley in the slum area in the south of the city, in front of a dilapidated but large courtyard, Yuan Shaoqi dismounted, looked around, knocked on the door, and said to the air in a low voice: "Stay outside, and notify immediately if there is any situation." I."
"Yes!"
It seems that several people replied, but I still didn't see any figure.
"squeak"
"But Mr. Yuan?"
The old door was opened from the inside, and a short man poked his head out. Yuan Shaoqi nodded and did not speak. The man hurriedly opened the door to let him in: "Please, Mr. Yuan, our master and young master are waiting for you." For a long time."
After entering the yard, Yuan Shaoqi followed the man around, and stopped in front of a closed door after a while. The man silently asked him to wait a moment, and knocked on the door respectfully.
"Come in!"
The voice coming from inside was very thick. For some reason, Yuan Shaoqi, who obviously had no feelings for his mother's natal family, suddenly became a little excited. After all, Tuoba Wang, the patriarch of the Tuoba family, was his uncle. The fetters of love can't be explained by whether there are feelings or not, right?Yuan Shaoqi calmed down a little before stepping in.
This should be a study room. In the middle of the study room stood two very similar men. The older man had excited eyes, while the younger man was not very calm. Seeing their looks, Yuan Shaoqi was almost sure of them. Because he looks too much like them, at least five points similar, before my mother always said that he didn't want her, and he wasn't like his father, except for the eyes inherited from the old man, he was basically the same as the uncles, He has always said that because he missed his family when he was a mother, but he didn't expect it to be true. He really looks like a member of the Tuoba family.
"This is what my mother asked me to give you the opportunity before she died. Also, she said that she is sorry for you, and I hope you can forgive her."
Not knowing whether to call Uncle or directly Patriarch Tuoba, Yuan Shaoqi hesitated for a while, then simply took out the old purse and brought it in front of them. The hand holding the purse could not help trembling slightly. His mother had passed away for more than ten years. He finally had a chance to fulfill her only dying wish.
"Ling'er? That silly girl?"
At a glance, he recognized that the purse was embroidered for his sister by his mother when she was still alive. Tuoba Wang picked it up with trembling hands, his voice was obviously choked, and his eyes couldn't help getting wet. He was wrong, he shouldn't Because of the responsibility of the Patriarch and the little resentment left in his heart, he knew that his sister had not gone to the capital after her death. He should have brought her back in person. She would definitely not want to come back to Southern Xinjiang to see her until she died.
"Mother?? Her spiritual seat entered the ancestral hall of the Duke's Mansion as a flat wife. As for her body, I did not accept my grandfather's suggestion to bury her in the Yuan family's cemetery, but buried her in the place where we lived together. In that small village, the only thing she was unwilling to do when she left was not being able to see you for the last time, this was given to me before she died, sorry, it is only now delivered to you."
Seeing a big man behave so painfully, Yuan Shaoqi could no longer treat them as strangers, his voice was more or less choked, the rumors were true, and his mother did not lie to him, they really loved their mother, If he had known earlier, no matter how difficult it was, he should have come to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible.
"No, good boy, I've worked hard for you for so many years, it's uncle who didn't do a good job, should I??"
Patting him on the shoulder, Tuoba Wang was so choked up that he could hardly speak, and Tuoba Hai, who was standing behind him, quickly supported him: "Father, sit down first, my cousin is tired after driving for so long. "
"Look at me, I went on my own, Shaoqi, come on, let's sit down and talk slowly."
As soon as he said it, Tuoba Wang slapped his forehead, and quickly pulled him to sit down. Yuan Shaoqi, who hadn't planned to recognize his relatives at first, was also fluctuated when he saw them talking about their uncle and cousin. In Yuan's house, Except for the old man, no one is close to him, including his old father. He basically doesn't feel any affection for them. Even though he has inherited the title and is the real Duke of the country, he is still the same as before Similarly, he has lived in Jingyun Villa all year round, and has been brazenly following Jinghan to call Ling Chenglong and his parents. Only in them can he feel the kind of family affection that makes people warm. However, today he is here again. The two relatives who met for the first time felt it. The strong blood relationship did not alienate because of the first meeting, but it became hotter and moved him even more.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is your eldest cousin Tuoba Hai. There are too many people and people will be suspicious. The second, third, fourth, and your cousin did not come, but now we are relatives, and we will meet in the future There are plenty of opportunities.”
After calming down the complexity and excitement in his heart, Tuoba Wang enthusiastically introduced him. This time, Yuan Shaoqi didn't have any barriers anymore, and said openly, "Big cousin!"
cousin.
Tuoba Hai also nodded with a smile. After all, they are blood brothers, so it's not that difficult to accept each other.
"Shao Qi, I heard that you are now the Duke of the State? You are indeed my nephew."
Tuoba Wang completely had the attitude of a mother-in-law looking more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, and all the love and regret for her sister seemed to be passed on to him.
"Hehe... the Duke of the country was just given to me by the old man. If I want to marry a wife, I have to earn military merits myself."
He didn't dare to accept all the compliments from others. In the eyes of others, the Duke's title is indeed very dazzling, but in his eyes, apart from being able to move out to suppress the Yuan family when they are struggling, basically It's useless, how many people in Jingyun Villa don't have titles?Even Xiaotuanzi is the king of the county, he is really not enough to look at as the Duke of the country.
"Marry a wife? Are you 22 this year? Why haven't you married a wife yet? How did that bastard become a father?"
When he heard that he hadn't married a wife yet, Tuoba Wang stared at him, resolutely displeased, it's their Southern Xinjiang, a man over twenty who hasn't married a wife will be gossiped about, let alone the capital?The one who deserves to kill a thousand knives just cheated his sister, but dared to cheat his nephew.
"No, Uncle, it's none of his business. It's because I have someone I like, and I don't want to marry unless he is the only one who proposed that I save enough military merits as a dowry to marry him."
This uncle called out so easily, Yuan Shaoqi scratched his head and rarely explained with embarrassment, Tuoba Wang was still a little uncomfortable and said: "If you have someone you like, marry them home, why do you have to take military merits as a dowry?"
Then if he can't accumulate military merits in this life, won't he be a bachelor for the rest of his life?What is the logic of the people of the Yuan family, are they deliberately delaying his nephew?
"Hehe... It's not that kind of uncle. The person I want to marry is very good, so good that even if I am the Duke of the country, I won't be good enough for him. The old man is also afraid that I will not be able to hold my head up in front of him in the future."
Speaking of Ling Jinghan, the smile on Yuan Shaoqi's face is so happy. Although they are not married yet, they have lived together for a long time, and it was Jinghan's own request, and he is working hard with him. Jun Gong married him.
"You?? You like men?"
Finally realizing it, Tuoba Wang couldn't help but stare. It's not that he can't accept a man marrying a man. In fact, because there are too many men in their Tuoba family, there are many people who like men. It's just that he After all, it's my sister's only bloodline. If he really married a man, wouldn't my sister be extinct?
"It's not liking, it's love. I knew from the first time I saw him that he would be the only companion in my life. I won't have three wives and four concubines like that man. I just want to keep him alone until I grow old. "
Yuan Shaoqi, who has always been unprincipled, was rarely serious, and this kind of seriousness also indirectly convinced Tuoba Wang and his son.
"Who is he?"
Forget it, as long as the nephew likes it, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman, whether he has offspring, presumably his sister will agree with it, right?
"Ling Jinghan, the current Prime Minister, the younger brother of Princess Sheng."
When he said his name, Yuan Shaoqi was full of pride, as if all the glory belonged to him. However, he has accompanied Jinghan all the way since he was a young scholar, and witnessed all his hard work And hard work, when Jinghan missed the first prize because of the late emperor's suspicion, he was even more excited than him, and almost didn't really make a fuss with the emperor, and he calmed down only under his comfort. Now that Qi is the head of the family, Jinghan has climbed to the position of right minister step by step with his own efforts. He is sincerely happy for him. Of course, he will also work hard to be a man worthy of him.
"Princess Sheng's younger brother."
It turns out that it is no wonder that he will come to Southern Xinjiang, and Prince Sheng will personally help him arrange it. Tuoba Wang is not without complexities, and before Yuan Shaoqi can speak, he said in a concentrated voice: "Shaoqi, answer uncle's question honestly. , will Prince Cheng replace His Majesty as the master of Daqing?"
He couldn't be sure of this, and he wouldn't let him speak again. Some things had to be decided by someone who could really make the decision.
