The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 448

[Chapter 448: Carrying a grandson]

Fang Xiu came up to Uncle An Ping, grinned and said, “This is called a tiger father without dog sons.”

“No, your father is not a tiger father.”

Uncle An Ping waved his hand and said with a long smile. He let out a sigh of relief and said: “During this period, you have really caused a stir in the capital. I heard that Yang Zheng’s son is still locked up in the dungeon of Kyoto Prefecture?”

Fang Xiu was startled when he heard this. , I don’t know why this cheap dad like me suddenly mentioned this matter, nodded and said: “Probably, maybe, it seems so.”

For such a long time, he almost forgot about such a person, who knows Is he still locked up in the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office?

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with him.

Neither the governor of Kyoto nor himself are actually that capable of letting the son of the Minister of Rites stay peacefully in a dark dungeon for such a long time without a clear charge.

If Yang Ming is still in the dungeon of Kyoto Prefecture, it can only be said that the old emperor is still unwilling to release him. As for the reason, it goes without saying.

Uncle An Ping nodded and said, “If nothing else, he will be released in a few days.”

When Fang Xiu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he asked, “By the way, Dad, you What’s the urgent matter when you come back this time?”

An Pingbo raised his eyes, glanced at Fang Xiu, and said seriously: “

What’s the urgent matter?”

“Leading troops to conquer the rebellious Mu Lin!”

Mu Lin is the contemporary Duke of Guizhou. His name is the same as that of An Pingbo. He is also an important town general, and he is the only hereditary general among the important town generals to hold the dukedom.

The war is finally about to begin.

Fang Xiu was not surprised by this answer.

Now that Yang Ming has been released, it means that the old emperor no longer cares about the opposition forces of the Ministry of Rites.

If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days, Yang Zheng, the Minister of Rites, will issue a memorial stating that he is old and will retire to his hometown.

Then there were repeated concessions, and finally the old emperor reluctantly accepted.

This kind of scene was very common when watching TV series and novels in the past.

“Don’t you have anything to say?”

An Pingbo asked suddenly, seeing the indifferent expression on his face.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he seemed to have suddenly calmed down and said, “Oh, yes, my son will wish his father a victory in advance and wipe out the rebels.”

When An Pingbo saw this, he shook his head and said, “I am the most powerful person in Chu.” The elites of the Nine Towns are in the Five Towns in the North and the One Town in the Southwest.

The two are equally matched in terms of combat power and armor.

However, when it comes to mountain battles, the One Town in the Southwest is far behind. Better than the five towns in the north.”

Fang Xiu didn’t understand why Uncle An Ping suddenly said this to him.

But what he said was more or less something he had heard from others.

There is no doubt that the most powerful soldiers of the Chu State must be the nine important towns.

Among the nine important towns, only five towns in the north and one town in the southwest are at war all year round and have greater combat effectiveness.

When An Pingbo said this, his expression became a little serious, and he said seriously: “After my father is gone, I don’t know when I will be able to return to the capital, and maybe I will never be able to return to the capital.” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he understood a little.

Is this to explain the funeral arrangements?

“Dad,”

Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, An Pingbo stretched out a hand to signal him not to speak.

Fang Xiu stopped, and then Uncle An Ping continued: “My father knows that you don’t like to be restrained and have a free and easy personality. However, before I left, I wanted you to do one thing for my father. The bento is OK, but my father’s It’s a wish.”

These words are sincere.

Especially when a military commander with a rough personality and never good at expressing himself said this, it was even more touching.

As his son, Fang Xiu was quite moved after hearing this and said, “Father, no matter what you ask, as long as your son can do it, he will do his best!”

An Pingbo heard this and looked at his son, There was a solemn look on his face, and he said seriously: “Father wants to hug his own grandson before leaving.”

Fang Xiu: “”

He thought it was something important, but it turned out to be this

. As the saying goes, unfilial piety There are three, and the greatest is the one without descendants.

In this era, carrying on the family line is indeed a top priority.

But

Fang Xiu looked at Uncle An Ping and said somewhat speechlessly: “Dad, how long will it take for you to leave the capital?”

“His Majesty’s order is that at most half a month, my father will lead the troops and leave for the southwest.”

“Half a month .

Fang Xiu covered his head and said helplessly, “Even a pig can’t be that fast.”

After

hearing this, Uncle An Ping was startled.

Immediately, he seemed to understand something, shook his head and said: “You misunderstood what dad meant.

Dad wants you to start a family and start a business as soon as possible. First, marry a wife, and then

Half a month should be enough. “

Hearing him say such unserious words in such a serious manner, Fang Xiu felt helpless. But

Uncle An Ping looked thoughtful and said, “Dad has heard about it, and His Majesty has no intention of granting you a marriage.

As long as she is not the princess, among the many ladies in our capital, there will always be someone suitable.

Although the Fang Mansion is not a prominent family in the capital, it is still an honorable family. As long as the dowry is enough, there will always be someone who is willing to marry into our Fang Mansion. My

father remembers that the Minister of Civil Affairs has a little daughter who is twenty-eight years old. , is the right age for marriage, and I heard that she has a gentle personality, just right.”

“Dedede.”

Fang Xiu saw that his cheap dad was getting more and more excited as he talked, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said, “I’m only twenty-eight years old. “Aren’t you a little young?”

He was only twenty-eight, which is sixteen years old. In later generations, he was still a child. When

Uncle An Ping heard this, he straightened his face and said, “Tell me the truth, you Don’t you want to get married?

Seeing this, Fang Xiu felt a little helpless. After thinking for a while, he said, “That’s not what I meant. It’s just that marriage requires mutual consent. Dad, you are a little too hasty.

“

“

Marriage matters are the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Don’t think that your father doesn’t know about it. In the past, when you went to those Yirenju and Baihua Pavilion to hang out, your father never cared about you.”

Now, you have some kind of affinity with your father. Do you think your father trusts you? “

An Pingbo stared at Fang Xiu and raised his voice a lot.

After hearing this, Fang Xiu felt his face was a little hot.

He really wanted to say that he had never been to those places of smoke and willows.

However, there were indeed some memories in his mind, so he didn’t know how to speak.

While hesitating, he heard An Pingbo say: “That’s it, my father will send someone to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to propose marriage tomorrow! ”
