For the first time, Yu Men felt that this job was too difficult. He didn't dare to neglect His Highness, and he didn't dare to offend the old master.
He was so anxious that he almost cried. "Please, old man, please go and welcome her. Your niece is not an ordinary person."
"Oh, could it be that the fairy from the Ninth Heaven came down to earth?" Xu Wei found it very interesting.
"Bullshit!" Zhao Liben slammed the table and finally stood up and said, "Come on, Wenchang, accompany me to see who this immortal is that needs to be greeted by the elders."
He walked to the door of the hall with his hands behind his back. When he stepped over the threshold, his legs and feet were a little out of control and he almost fell to the ground.
"Be careful, old man!" The two of them quickly supported him.
"Damn it, my legs are weak from drinking too much." Zhao Liben muttered unhappily.
Xu Wei thought to himself, your mouth is not very good.
He couldn't help but become more curious about who on earth could be so powerful that he could scare the arrogant old man so much that his legs were shaking.
The three people here went out of the hall, and the people over there also entered the Moon Gate.
The two sides stood facing each other across the patio.
Seeing that it was Zhao Liben who came out to greet him, Ning An was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with a smile.
Seeing the tigress's vicious smile, Zhao Liben's legs began to tremble involuntarily.
It's the kind of fear that's ingrained in the bones, like a mouse seeing a cat or a sheep seeing a wolf.
He almost fell to his knees.
Fortunately, Yu Men and Xu Wei supported him on both sides, so the old man did not die.
As the saying goes, everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme. Being extremely scared may finally make you think.
When facing natural enemies, should we be a hero who fights tigers or be a coward for life?
Am I, the great Zhao Liben, going to live in the shadow of this woman for the rest of my life?
The old man encouraged himself, then forced a smile and said, "What wind brought my niece here?"
"How dare you!" Just as Lady Liu was about to scold, she was pinched by the eldest princess.
How could Her Royal Highness the Princess, who possesses the skill of 'showing her power in public', lose her temper in public?
I am the eldest princess who is always elegant, calm and beautiful!
She adjusted her mood within three seconds and walked towards Zhao Liben with a smile.
With every step she took forward, Yu Men and Xu Wei felt their hands getting heavier.
When Ning An walked in front of Zhao Liben, they both felt that the old man's legs no longer carried any weight.
"I haven't seen you for many years, uncle." Ning An smiled teasingly and bowed to Zhao Liben. "How are you? Do you still like swimming?"
“Uh…” Zhao Liben’s face turned pale, and he forced a smile, “Thank you for your concern, niece. I’m in good health and can live to be a hundred years old. Those who want me to die early are really crazy.”
"Who would be so vicious?" Ning An smiled and waved his hand at Yu Men. "We all hope that you can live to be a thousand years old."
Yu Men subconsciously let go of his hand, and Zhao Liben lost his support on the left side and staggered immediately.
"Oh, your legs and feet don't seem to be as good as before." Ning An replaced Yu Men and supported Zhao Liben.
"I just drank too much." Zhao Liben's hair stood on end, and he was completely sober.
~~
With the help of the eldest princess, the two came to the living room and sat down across the eight-immortal table. Zhao Liben sighed lightly to calm himself down, then asked her the purpose of her visit in a pretentious manner.
"I came here to look for my child. The evil creature suddenly ran away from Yangzhou and said he came to Kunshan. I had no choice but to come to Kunshan and visit my cousin." Ning An put his right arm on the armrest of the chair and answered with a smile:
"It's really fate. I didn't expect my uncle would come to Kunshan from Yangzhou."
"Oh, ha ha ha..." Zhao Liben awkwardly picked up the teacup, took a sip to cover up, and said, "Yes, this is what they call meeting each other despite being thousands of miles apart."
He finally calmed down with great difficulty, and adjusted his attitude to a positive state of mind and said, "My niece has come from afar, so we men must have a good chat."
"That's exactly what I want." Ning An nodded slightly and clenched his right fist with his left hand.
Faced with this threatening move, Zhao Liben leaned back tactically and deliberately provoked her: "By the way, where do you live? You should live in your own home. But this county government office is not a private residence after all, and your cousin is single, so it is not convenient for women to stay overnight."
Then he said to Xu Wei, "Wen Chang, please take the trouble to find an inn for my niece. She needs a room. There is no need to save money."
"No need to worry about it, uncle." Ning An was so angry that his teeth itched, but he was able to suppress his anger and said with a smile: "I have a garden in Kunshan, facing the back door of the county magistrate's house. Didn't uncle think there were too many rules in the government office? It would be better for him to move in with us, so that the younger generation can show filial piety."
Zhao Liben thought to himself that the first day of the new year would be the seventh day of my death. He shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, niece. When I get old, I want to live with my children and grandchildren. I'll just stay here for now."
Wu Cheng'en and Zhao Shouye came back from seeing Zhao Shouzheng off. Seeing this scene, Wu Cheng'en couldn't help but sigh, "Your family has such a good relationship."
"Haha, haha..." Zhao Shouye turned and left. "You go into the house by yourself. I'll go look after the second one."
"Oh, what a deep brotherly love." Wu Cheng'en praised again.
In the eyes of romantic writers, everything is so beautiful.
~~
As a result, after a secret struggle, the princess not only failed to move into the county government office, but she didn't even get to see Zhao Shouzheng.
This is an unprecedented failure, so shameful!
When she entered the "Golden Wind Garden" behind the county magistrate's house, she could no longer suppress her anger and slapped the dressing table heavily.
"You old bastard, you really piss me off! Make me a bamboo cage that can hold a person!"
While taking off her headdress, Lady Liu asked, "What do you need a bamboo cage for?"
"I will sink him in Yangcheng Lake to feed the hairy crabs!" Ning An said gritting his teeth.
Liu Shanggong was really worried that if the princess had no one to watch over her, she would cause a death in Kunshan... in every sense of the word. So she had to follow him no matter what.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived, she started shouting and calling for fighting and killing.
Concubine Liu hurriedly advised earnestly: "You can't do it twice, Your Highness. Do you think Mr. Zhao is still young? In this winter, he can still live in a pig cage?"
“Hmm…” Princess Ning An let out a long breath and said, “Then I won’t hide it anymore. I will reveal my identity and make him kowtow to me!”
"You must not do that, Your Highness." Concubine Liu shook her head even harder. "It's not a big deal if the eldest princess suddenly showed up in Suzhou... But if she showed up in a rural place like Kunshan, how can people not think too much and gossip about her?"
"Let them talk whatever they want. What's wrong with me coming here to see my daughter?" Ning An said with his neck straightened, knowing that this was unrealistic.
If I reveal my identity, Suzhou Prefecture will definitely have a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, with a bunch of people waiting outside all day long. How can I have fun with Zhao Lang?
"Humph, let that stinky old man be proud for a while, I will win back soon!" Ning An bit her red lips with a sneer and said, "Even if I don't have a noble status, I can still rely on my beauty and wisdom to save Zhao Lang from his clutches!"
"Your Highness is getting serious..." Liu Shanggong could not make any other expressions except crying and laughing. "It's just that I don't think it's the right place to be serious."
