Chapter 181: I'm afraid it's not trustworthy
Wei Guogong looked at Chu Nanyue who came over, and hurriedly got up to greet him, automatically ignoring Zhou Yuanqi beside Chu Nanyue.
"General Chu, you have always been busy, and you never thought that there would be a chance for General Chu to come to the door today." Defend the country fairly.
Chu Nanyue looked at Zhou Yuanqi cautiously, taking in the disappointment in his eyes, and said politely to Duke Weiguo: "Duke Weiguo, it was my negligence." It stands to reason that an enlightened and prestigious veteran minister of the DPRK and China like you, I, a newcomer, should have visited, and it was really negligent to come today. ”
Wei Guogong looked at Chu Nanyue's humble and polite appearance, and he felt more and more like it in his heart.
In today's court, although Chu Nanyue is a woman, she is also a rare rising star. And in the future, Tanglin will probably rely on a character like Chu Nanyue to continue to guard.
Everyone sat down one after another, and Zhou Yuanqi stood behind Chu Nanyue.
The subordinate had already served tea to Chu Nanyue, and Wei Guogong seemed to notice the person behind Chu Nanyue, and asked casually: "This is ......?"
Chu Nanyue hurriedly introduced him: "This is the deputy general I value most in the army." ”
Wei Guogong bowed slightly, without his words.
Chu Nanyue saw that Zhou Yuanqi clearly hoped that Wei Guogong would recognize him, but he couldn't bear to show it, and he didn't feel sad for him.
Thinking of today's intention, Chu Nanyue opened his mouth and asked, "Remember that your two sons, Wei Guogong, are both serving in the household department, are they okay?" ”
"General Lao Chu is worried, the dogs are actually very young, and they still need a lot of experience, and General Chu is watching in the court on weekdays, which really makes General Chu smile." Defend the country fairly.
He knew that his two children were a few pounds and a few taels, although the house had put a lot of effort into educating them, but with little success.
So later, Wei Guogong comforted himself that all this depends on talent, and it is beyond the reach of manpower.
"Duke Wei is really modest, but recently I heard that there is a second son in the Central Plains, but I have not been in the capital for a long time, I don't know too much, I don't know where the other son of Grandpa Guo is now?" Chu Nanyue asked casually.
Hearing this, Wei Guogong already had a sad look: "Don't hide it from General Chu, I do have a concubine, but six years ago, there were thieves in the house, and I heard that my concubine was desperate to protect his mother, but it's a pity that ......"
Chu Nanyue saw that he kept shaking his head, and the white hair on his temples became more and more old, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Guo, it was me who accidentally mentioned your heartache." ”
"It doesn't matter." Wei Guogong waved his hand. "All these years, I commanded my men not to mention it again. I never said it again. Now that General Chu has come to the door, he can let me say a word or two. But my heart is much happier. ”
Chu Nanyue couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuanqi sideways, and saw that he was trying to turn his back, as if he was enduring something. Probably because he heard something from Wei Guogong's mouth, it was a kind of comfort to Zhou Yuanqi, and it was also an act of reopening the scars.
Chu Nanyue didn't want to ask again, but Wei Guogong seemed to be opened into a chatterbox, and took the initiative to speak: "If you want to talk about my concubine, he is actually better than these two concubines." He was young, but he was very much like me and like his mother. ”
Chu Nanyue listened, and her heart was full of emotion. It turns out that the rumors from the outside world and Zhou Yuanqi's words are not contradictory.
Wei Guogong is really such a kind person, but unfortunately he has been deceived by Zhou Yuanqi's so-called mother-in-law. But he didn't know that the concubines and children he loved died not at the hands of thieves, but at the hands of the housewife.
Chu Nanyue and Wei Guogong talked word by word, and seeing Zhou Yuanqi's emotions getting more and more out of control, he knew that he couldn't stay any longer to prevent the matter from being revealed.
So Chu Nanyue said goodbye: "Now there are many things in the DPRK and China, and Grandpa Guo must be the same. It's too much inconvenience, so I'll go back to work first. ”
Wei Guogong no longer retained, and asked the people in the house to go to Haosheng to bid farewell to Chu Nanyue.
Chu Nanyue and Zhou Yuanqi went all the way out of the Weiguo Mansion without saying a word, and it wasn't until they returned to the General's Mansion that Zhou Yuanqi finally couldn't hold back.
Chu Nanyue saw that Zhou Yuanqi's mood was a little broken, his eyes were red, and a seven-foot man actually cried.
She turned her back and didn't look at him, knowing that he was extremely bitter in his heart, and this emotion had been held alone for six years before it broke out like this now.
Just imagine, six years ago, I was wronged. The mother and her unborn child died tragically. All along, he endured in the barracks, fearing everyone who might recognize him.
And six years later, Zhou Yuanqi finally had the opportunity to meet his biological father. But he couldn't even say a word, let alone recognize him. In the mouth of his biological father, when he heard what happened after his "death", he felt even more cruel.
For a long time, Zhou Yuanqi never got up, and Chu Nanyue waited there silently. The subordinates in the mansion came over curiously, but they were all called away by Chu Nanyue softly.
As a cronie who fought side by side, Chu Nanyue somewhat understood Zhou Yuanqi's character. This kind of fragile scene, he probably didn't want to be seen by anyone at all.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yuanqi seemed to have eased up, stood up straight, and his eyes were already calm: "General, let the general smile today." ”
"What's this?" Chu Nanyue wrote lightly, "At least today you personally confirmed that your father is really sincere to you, isn't that enough?" ”
For Wei Guogong and Zhou Yuanqi, Chu Nanyue is still a little envious.
This kind of real family affection, Chu Nanyue has never had it at all.
And Zhou Yuanqi was comforted, and his eyes softened: "There are many gaffes among my subordinates today, thank you for the general's words of relief." ”
"Between you and me, you don't have to be so polite." Chu Nanyue said.
Zhou Yuanqi didn't say a word, only glanced at Chu Nanyue gratefully. What Chu Nanyue didn't know was how precious and touching such relief was in Zhou Yuanqi's eyes.
If the words in his mouth seem to others, I am afraid that they are not trustworthy.
Saying what is the son of Wei Guogong and being persecuted by his mother-in-law, even if you believe it, I am afraid that many people are afraid of being implicated.
But Chu Nanyue was different, she not only believed in herself, but also deliberately took him back to the Weiguo Mansion. He was filled with emotion when he saw his father, whom he hadn't seen for many years.
Looking at Chu Nanyue's concern for him, Zhou Yuanqi had some complicated feelings in his heart at the same time.
This is probably different from the comradeship that has grown deeper in those five years, it is longer and more complicated.
Since knowing Chu Nanyue's identity as a woman, it has been difficult for Zhou Yuanqi to look at Chu Nanyue with the eyes of the past. He has always been impressed by Chu Nanyue's charm and courage, and when he was a man, this kind of admiration was more like a kind of worship.
But after Chu Nanyue resumed her identity as a woman, this kind of worship turned into a part of her admiration.
Zhou Yuanqi was deeply disturbed and questioned himself between love and friendship. Fortunately, Chu Nanyue has always put him in charge of the affairs of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, so he has cleared his heart a little.
