Chapter 148 Your Grandfather Has a Grudge Against My Father
Suddenly hearing someone calling his name, He Songlin, who was wiping the corner of his mouth, quickly picked up the bowl and disappeared from his seat in a flash, running faster than a rabbit.
“Wait a minute…” Gongsun Tianhua stood up and chased after him. After two steps, he saw He Songlin’s shadow clearly: “Why are you running? I won’t eat you!”
The owner of the noodle stand: "My bowl..."
The boss was Xiao Wenping, the best seller of knife-cut noodles. He turned to look at Gongsun Tianhua and recognized him: "Master Tao, was that the fugitive?"
He knew that Tao Quan was a specialist in catching fugitives. If that man ran away when he saw Tao Quan, then he must be a fugitive.
Gongsun Tianhua thought for a moment and said, "He is not a fugitive."
Xiao Wenping said "oh" and looked at Gongsun Tianhua in embarrassment: "Master Tao, that person took the small bowl, that bowl..."
Gongsun Tianhua gave him a piece of silver and said, "I will give you the money for the bowl. Is the remaining money enough to buy seven bowls of knife-cut noodles?"
"Enough, enough, enough, more, more!" Xiao Wenping took the change, deducted the money for the bowl and sliced noodles, and gave the change to Gongsun Tianhua.
Gongsun Tianhua sat down and fell into deep thought.
He Songlin is his father's man. His father is in the palace, busy with endless state affairs every day and unable to come out to investigate the people, so he set up an inspection team. The inspectors in the team are all battle-hardened and come and go without a trace. Every once in a while, they will go to various parts of the country to collect information and report to his father.
He Songlin is one of them.
Why is he here? Is he here to check on him, or?
"He is not here to investigate me." Gongsun Tianhua slammed the table and said.
The emperor valued talent, so he sent sugar and high-yield grain seeds to the capital, which made Ye Tang catch the emperor's eye. The purpose of the emperor sending He Songlin here should be for Ye Tang.
If so...
Gongsun Tianhua slapped his forehead.
My little cousin's identity is about to be exposed!
Gongsun Tianhua was anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, he had to eat before setting off. After eating the knife-cut noodles in big mouthfuls, Gongsun Tianhua and his guards continued on their journey.
As soon as they left, He Songlin ran back and returned the washed bowl to Xiao Wenping.
"Another bowl of knife-cut noodles with minced meat, and more chopped green onions and coriander." He Songlin said.
Xiao Wenping looked at the big bowl in his hand and said, "...If I had known that the guest would come back, I would not have accepted the money from that man."
Xiao Wenping cooked a big bowl of knife-cut noodles for He Songlin: "Sir, this is already the third bowl of knife-cut noodles you have eaten."
He Songlin brought over the noodles: "Your noodles are delicious, I can eat three more bowls."
He had never eaten noodles so delicious.
When he was sent here, he was very reluctant at first. After all, this place was very poor and remote, not as good as the capital. But after arriving, he was surprised to find that Tian'an Prefecture was still the same as before, but Wutong County under its jurisdiction was different from before. There were many more delicacies he had never seen before.
He enjoyed his meals to the fullest every day, without repeating the same thing.
After arriving at Chashu Town, I found that there were more delicious foods here. I asked the stall owner and learned that most of the additional delicious foods in Wutong County came from Qingquan Village.
He Songlin finished his noodles in big mouthfuls, burped, and left the stall, touching his stomach with satisfaction.
After he left, Xiao Wenping also started to pack up his stall.
Ever since he started selling knife-cut noodles, his family's life has been getting better and better. A few days ago, he rented a house in the town and extended the time of his stall from morning to night. His business is getting better and better, and he is earning more and more money.
Xiao Wenping was very happy and felt that he would be able to build a large brick and tile house in a few days.
Gongsun Tianhua came to the Xiao residence with a lantern. As soon as he entered the door, he went to find Qin Jinhua. Seeing that she was eating strawberries happily, he turned around to find Xiao Jingxuan and pulled Xiao Jingxuan to a corner.
"Brother, I saw He Songlin." Gongsun Tianhua lowered his voice.
Jamel Xiao was puzzled: "Who is He Songlin?"
"My father's people." Gongsun Tianhua explained: "He should be here for my sister-in-law. My father admires people like my sister-in-law the most. I don't know how long He Songlin has been here. Is there any information about you among the information he has collected? It is said that the person he admires the most is your father. He has followed your father for more than a year. If he sees your face, plus you and I have close contacts, he will definitely guess your identity and then tell your identity to my father..."
Jamel Xiao looked calm: “Oh.”
Gongsun Tianhua was surprised: "Is that your reaction?"
Jamel Xiao asked back: "How should I react?"
Gongsun Tianhua said: "Didn't you say you didn't want to recognize my father?"
Jamel Xiao smiled: “That was before, it’s okay now.”
He was still young before and didn't understand many things. He followed his master's arrangements for everything. The enemy was in the dark, and if he appeared in the light, without absolute strength, he would be completely crushed and would not even know how he died.
But now it’s different. He is not alone. He has a lot of helpers and his own strength is not weak. It’s time to confront Gao Yi head-on and take back everything that belongs to his parents.
Gongsun Tianhua was so angry at his attitude that he laughed: "You are such a prankster. You may be lazy, but you will never miss anything that needs to be done."
"That's right, you have to finish everything before you can lie down properly."
"Lie flat? Where did you learn that weird word?"
"I won't tell you."
The two brothers had a happy chat.
Ye Tang and Qin Jinhua in the pavilion glanced over at them. Qin Jinhua was very curious: "What are the two brothers talking about? They look so happy."
Ye Tang said calmly: "Don't try to guess what a man is thinking. You will never understand it no matter how hard you try."
It was getting late, so Qin Jinhua and Gongsun Tianhua did not go home. The couple stayed to rest for the night.
After washing up, he lay down on the bed beautifully, hugging his fragrant wife, Jamel Xiao was bubbling with happiness.
"What did you say to your cousin? You seemed very happy." Ye Tang nestled in his arms. Both of them were covered with thick quilts as it had been a bit cold these two days.
Jamel Xiao kissed her forehead: "I'm going to meet my uncle."
Ye Tang was surprised: "When?"
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head: "I haven't decided on the specific time yet. It depends on what you and my father-in-law want. When you go to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, I will go to the capital. As a family, we will go together wherever we go."
Ye Tang didn't know what to say: "Is this a sudden decision you made, or did you think about it a long time ago?"
Xiao Jingxuan answered carefully: "I have been thinking about it for a while. At that time, I was not sure that the Protector of the Country was related to my father-in-law."
He had never seen the Duke of Protector of the Country before, so when he first married Ye Tang, he only thought that the strength of the Ye family was special and did not associate them with the Duke of Protector of the Country.
It was only after his master came that he realized that the Ye family might be related to the Duke of Protectorate, because his master knew the Duke of Protectorate. Ye Peng, Ye Ping'an, and Ye Tang all had the shadow of the Duke of Protectorate, especially Ye Peng. When he stood with the Duke of Protectorate, people who didn't know them would think they were father and son, as their temperament and appearance were so similar.
After guessing that the Ye family might be related to the Duke of Protectorate, he felt that it was time to recognize his uncle.
Ye Tang nodded his head: "I can't see through you any more. Since you have decided to recognize each other, why did you make yourself so dark before?"
"Because your grandfather has a grudge against my father. This is what my master said. They used to fight often. My master was afraid that I would be targeted by your grandfather, so he didn't want your grandfather to recognize me."
