I was a young master in ancient times

Chapter 117 Wang Ming Returns

On a tree in the yamen, magpies chirped all morning.

Master Hu looked up at the tree with a happy expression on his face, "This is for good things to happen."

An Zhonghua didn't believe this. Just as he opened his mouth to refute, a small official ran into the door, shouting as he ran, "My lord, good news! Good news! Someone in our county has graduated from high school!"

"Who's in high school?" Master Hu shook his mustache, beaming.

The little official replied, "Wang Ming from Shangwa Village. The one who announced the good news has just arrived in the county."

An Zhonghua had heard of Wang Ming.He went to Luanzhou to worship a famous teacher the year before last, and he was still a classmate of Ankang.He asked concerned, "Is there any news about Chen Ziche and Qiu Yuan? Did they pass the exam?"

The little official shook his head, "The announcer didn't mention these two."

Recently, Yuyang County has launched literacy campaigns, and now there is a ready-made example.An Zhonghua attached great importance to this matter, paid 20 taels of silver from the county government, and personally went to Shangwa Village to give it to Wang Ming's family.

"Wang Ming is in high school?" Pang Youde was in a trance for a moment, and he hadn't heard this name for a long time.

Ankang nodded, "I heard that he will be back in two days. However, Zi Che and Qiu Yuan failed."

"Let's get together again when he comes back." Pang Youde talked about the sea food in the south, "Can we supply more seaweed and kelp from Wei's Firm to our restaurant? The guests like to drink some seaweed egg drop soup."

"Why do you ask me for this?" Ankang said helplessly, "You ask Brother Xu. This is his responsibility."

"Aren't you the young owner of Wei's Commercial Firm in Yuyang County? If not you, who else should I look for?" Pang Youde glanced at Ping An who was obediently sitting on a stool and eating snacks. "Little Boss."

Holding the tip of the chicken wing in his mouth, Ping An looked suspiciously at the fat brother opposite his brother.

"Little boss, give me some more kelp and seaweed?" Pang Youde coaxed, "Next time, brother will bring you delicious stewed vegetables."

Ping An nodded with a smile.

"Look, this little boss agreed." Pang Youde was happy.

Ankang almost didn't look at him, "Why are you still so naive? You show Ping An to Brother Xu, and you can see whether Ping An's words work or not."

"I don't care, anyway, the small owner of Wei's Commercial Firm agreed to me. I'll talk to Brother Xu in a while." Pang Youde played tricks, "Nowadays, seafood is so hot, I'm sure to strike first."

Ankang led Ping An away from Pang Youde, and when he got home, he heard An Zhonghua say that Wang Ming would go to Yuyang tomorrow.

"Why is it so fast? Didn't you say it will take two or three days?" Ankang wondered, could the speed of the ancient carriage be lifted as long as he wanted?

What everyone didn't expect was that Wang Ming actually entered Yuyang County that evening.

The waning moon hanging in the sky coldly diffuses light, and two or three stars hang sparsely in the night sky.

Wang Ming, who was wearing a cloak, knocked on the back door of Pang Youde's house.

The sound of "bang bang" knocking on the door was especially loud in the silent night.

Holding the lantern, the old slave of the Pang family opened a door with sleepy eyes, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Pang Youde, and you tell him that I'm his classmate."

The old slave of the Pang family raised the lantern, and the dim light illuminated Wang Ming's face hidden in the darkness.Wang Ming has been to Pang's house many times, and the old slave also recognizes him.Knowing about Wang Ming High School now, the old slave of the Pang family spoke with a sense of awe and surprise, "Wait, I'll go find the young master right away."

Wang Ming entered the yard, folded up his cloak, looked at the bare jujube trees in the yard, his eyes unconsciously brought some tenderness.Pang Youde said before that the jujube tree in the backyard of his home would bear a lot of dates, and he led him back to pick them.

Pang Youde hurried over, seeing the figure in the yard, his mood gradually became heavy.He took the lantern from the old slave, "It's too late, you go back first. I'll talk to... I'll talk to him."

Hearing the voice, Wang Ming turned around, and the person standing on the porch was exactly the person he had been thinking about day and night.He called softly, "Pang Youde."

"Why did you come here at night? I heard from Ankang that you will not be able to return to Yuyang in two or three days." Pang Youde did not step forward, but responded to Wang Ming indifferently.

"I want to see you." Wang Ming took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said excitedly, "Pang Youde, I'm in high school and got the second place. Pang Youde, I have the ability to be with you now."

"Congratulations." Pang Youde simply replied two words, like a basin of cold water pouring on Wang Ming.

"Aren't you happy?" Wang Ming observed Pang Youde anxiously, "Everything is a stopgap measure. After a few more years, we can really be together. When I have power, I won't be afraid at that time."

"I made it very clear last time. We both have wives. How can we get entangled again?"

"You and I both know that a wife is just a stopgap measure. Pang Youde, I really want to be with you." Wang Ming looked into Pang Youde's eyes, which were full of longing and the pain of unrequited love.

Sighing heavily, Pang Youde waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "You go. If there is no need in the future, don't meet again."

Wang Ming looked at Pang Youde in shock. After three years of lovesickness and three years of hard work, did this end up in the end?Originally thought that Pang Youde just lost his temper last time, and it was impossible to really give up on him.What, is it true?

"Oh," Pang Youde said calmly as he sat slowly on the steps, "I received a letter from you in the barracks. You said you were going to marry a wife, so I decided not to have anything to do with you again."

"Do you know how many wars I have experienced in northern Xinjiang?"

"When we first arrived in northern Xinjiang, we were all new recruits. When the enemy came, we only knew to run with the team. We hid twice like this. I was lucky. I was recruited to the food camp and helped the master cook. .”

"I cried all night when I received your letter. I was in a bad mood, and I stole two hens raised by Ankang. You don't know, hens were treasures at that time, and Ankang didn't let them eat them."

"I'm working hard for my country, and you're talking about love."

"You abandoned me first. Now you are looking for me again."

Pang Youde sneered, "The past is the past. It's not good for anyone to read."

"I..." Wang Ming closed his eyes in pain.I don't want to think about what Pang Youde said. "I always think about how happy I was when I was urging you to endorse in the academy."

"Young people can't be unhappy." Pang Youde said this so old-fashioned that Wang Ming couldn't help but look at him. He is really different, more mature than before.

Pang Youde sat on the steps with Wang Ming until dawn.Talk about the past, talk about the future.When the sky was turning white and the first rooster crowed, Pang Youde patted his buttocks and stood up, "You go. I heard that County Magistrate An is going to your house. You really did us Yu Yang this time."

The author has something to say:

This is the ending for Pang Youde and Wang Ming.It's just that Wang Ming didn't want to accept it.But if one party decides to withdraw from such matters as feelings, that is to withdraw.

Tomorrow, Liu Xia will play for the first time against Widow She.

Boys, have fun tomorrow too.
