1363 Leaves fall back to their roots
Liu Cong, who has also experienced strong winds and waves, is wearing a Taishou official uniform, looking extremely stable, and only when he sees Wang Baoyu will he show his simple side.
"Brother!" Liu Cong shouted softly, came over to salute, and said: "Brother Nanzheng, there are many hardships, Cong'er has not been able to help, and he is often uneasy. ”
"What's polite to me, Xiangyang is the most important city in our Jingzhou, and you can govern this place well, it's already a lot of hard work." Wang Baoyu waved his hand.
"My brother is famous for his majesty in China, and Cong'er is gathering scribes to record his brother's exploits." Liu Cong said.
Wang Baoyu was particularly sensitive to the matter of the establishment of the tree monument, and immediately corrected: "Cong'er, don't do this matter, I don't want to leave any impression on future generations." ”
"How can my brother's actions be erased at will?"
"Cong'er, I can't tell you why, anyway, this is not what I want to see." Wang Baoyu said with a positive color, if words like Wang Baoyu appear in history books in the future, I don't know if it will affect history.
"Cong'er obeys her brother's orders." Seeing Wang Baoyu's resolute attitude, Liu Cong still nodded obediently and agreed, not without regret.
Immediately, Liu Cong saw Fan Jinqiang and Sun Shangxiang, and Xiangyang officials came to see each other, everyone with a look of awe, and the dignified King Hanxing, who can resist the tiger, is invincible, and naturally no one can compare.
Wang Baoyu casually made peace with them, and then entered Xiangyang City with Liu Cong, chatting casually.
Liu Cong's age is not young, Wang Baoyu asked about his marriage, Liu Cong said that he officially married a daughter-in-law last year, Wang Baoyu smiled and said: "Which family's daughter can enter Cong'er's eyes?"
"Hehe, in fact, my brother also knows each other, and he is still the one you saw in the mansion back then."
Wang Baoyu reacted, what Liu Cong said was the niece of Mrs. Cai, who was married to him, and asked in surprise: "Hehe, you didn't like her at the beginning, why did you still marry her?" ”
"At the beginning, Cong'er was not yet an adult, but I felt that she was very disgusted by her daily entanglement, and at that time, she married me and there were many plots behind everyone, and my mother also persecuted me a lot for it, so I didn't like it at first. I never thought that she had been waiting for me for many years, always by my mother's side, taking care of her, and being deeply touching, so I got married. Liu Cong explained.
"You two can be regarded as having achieved a positive result, and I will ask Yiling to send a congratulatory gift another day."
"Thank you, brother!" Liu Cong said happily.
Today's Xiangyang City, compared to when I first saw Liu Cong, I don't know how much more prosperous, Wang Baoyu looked very happy and praised Liu Cong's good governance.
After the banquet, the two brothers didn't take care of their daughter-in-law that night and slept in the same bed.
Liu Cong still has one thing he wants to ask Wang Baoyu, after Liu Cong's brother Liu Qi died, he left a son, named Liu Si, when Jiangxia was lost, he fled to Jiangdong, life and death are unknown, he wants to find this nephew, keep him by his side.
Wang Baoyu promised that when he came back from Chengdu, he would write a letter to Sun Quan and ask Sun Quan to organize someone to investigate the matter.
After staying in Xiangyang for a day, Wang Baoyu and the others continued to march westward, and after walking for a while, he instructed everyone to change their route and go to Wollongong to see Mrs. Cai.
From Huang Yueying's side, Mrs. Cai is also her aunt, Princess Wannian still lived in Wollongong for a period of time, Mrs. Cai has a lot of care, in general, whether it is Mrs. Cai or Liu Cong, they are all kind to themselves.
At the entrance to Wollongong, Fan Jinqiang dismounted and went to pay homage to his mother, and Wang Baoyu, as a righteous brother, also went to pay homage.
Now Fan Jinqiang's official position is quite high, and his mother's grave has long been rebuilt, but on the whole, the scale is still very small.
Fan Jinqiang is a filial son, and he couldn't help crying, lamenting that the creation makes people, and his son is honored today, but his hard-working mother has been poor all her life and has no chance to enjoy it.
Under Wang Baoyu's repeated persuasion, Fan Jinqiang stopped crying, but the tears never dried up, sitting in front of his mother's grave and drooping his head to recall the past.
"Big brother, why don't you take the old man back to Yiling, it will be convenient for you to worship." Wang Baoyu couldn't bear Fan Jinqiang's white-haired people to be sentimental because of this, so he built a way.
Fan Jinqiang sighed heavily, waved his hand and said: "I don't have to, my mother liked this place the most when she was alive, and she often looked forward to my return from this road, which has become a habit." ”
In a word, Wang Baoyu's eyes were moist, and in that distant future, his mother and godmother should also boil their hair white and wait for their son's return.
With tears in her eyes, Wang Baoyu personally added a few handfuls of new soil to Fan Jinqiang's mother's grave, and secretly thought to herself, the two mothers of the son, you must wait until the day your son comes back. If your son is not filial, you will be frightened, and when you go back, you will be willing to beat and scold your son, and you will be willing to bear it.
"Baoyu, please be worshiped by the eldest brother again."
Fan Jinqiang said, and kowtowed to Wang Baoyu with a solemn face, Wang Baoyu hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing here, you and I are brothers, and I don't pay attention to this at any time." ”
"Good brother, back then, I relied on my feet in Wollongong to make a living, and the mother and son could only fill their stomachs. Since I met my brother, I often had silver and two helps, although my mother did not enjoy the blessings of her son, but in her later years she was able to enjoy it because of Baoyu, otherwise I would have regretted it today. Brother, big brother, I ......" Fan Jinqiang couldn't go on with tears in his eyes.
"Big brother, what else do you and me have to share with me. To live in the world is to help each other, and I also hope that in another world, there will be someone to take care of my mother. Wang Baoyu choked up several times, and couldn't say any more, and the two big men sat on the ground for a long time.
After the worship, the group walked along the path and entered Wollongong, Fan Jinqiang couldn't help but sigh, Wollongong is really a place with excellent feng shui, and there are two heavyweights, one is Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, and the other is the mighty King of Hanxing.
Except for the bamboo forest and the small bridge, the rest of the scenery is no longer there, Zhuge Liang's big house Fuqin, and the hut where Wang Baoyu and Huo Ya lived, which have been replaced by a two-story small building today.
Mrs. Cai did not want to marry Cao Cao, so she came to Wollongong, but the amorous Cao Cao still gave her many rewards, and Mrs. Cai built many small buildings here.
The arrival of the army caused a wave of panic among the residents of Wollongong, especially in this procession, which not only had a spotted-fronted tiger, but also a very young figure sitting on the tiger's body.
Mrs. Cai, who heard the news, hurriedly came down from her three-story building and ran over with a group of servants, Xiangyang is her son's territory, and I don't know who dares to come to Wollongong to make trouble.
As soon as she saw Wang Baoyu riding on the tiger, Mrs. Cai was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and choked up: "Wollongong Cai, welcome the arrival of King Hanxing." ”
Wang Baoyu jumped off the tiger's back, stepped forward to support Mrs. Cai, looking at Mrs. Cai in front of him, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but sigh, the years are unforgiving, the first beauty in Jingzhou back then, there were wrinkles on her face, and a few white hairs grew on her sideburns.
