Chapter 252: I was being watched before I even had time to warm up my seat
Plum petals are falling in all colors, wild rice stems are growing new bamboo shoots, and Junji Palace is bathed in soft light, peaceful yet full of vitality.
The fog was thick and the rain was continuous. The flowers on the cliff fell sporadically, accompanied by the cry of cuckoos.
Zuo Lengchan was sitting in a pavilion. Originally, he didn't know much about tea, but after drinking it a few times from Ou Zanghua, he inexplicably fell in love with the ethereal feeling of tea fragrance.
Just like now, in the Songshan Mountain under the drizzle, brewing a pot of good tea, is it not a kind of enjoyment in life?
Zuo Ting was sitting opposite him and was not used to this old man who was so elegant in every way. He still liked his father's previous sinister and vicious look.
This time, in order to welcome the return of Zuo Lengchan and the Twelve Guardians, Songshan held a buffet outside the Junji Palace for three consecutive days. Anyone who was a martial artist could come up and have a drink, a meal, and watch a bangzi opera.
Zuo Lengchan also presided over several martial arts justice ceremonies, which made the martial artists in Henan give a thumbs up to the Songshan School and praise them as true heroes who can uphold justice in the rivers and lakes and eliminate bandits in the court.
The excitement finally ended yesterday, and all the martial artists came down the mountain to continue their journey.
Today's rain seemed to have washed away all the noise of yesterday, leaving Zuo Ting with a sense of unreality and dreaminess.
Zuo Lengchan brewed tea and poured a cup for Zuo Ting. The tea soup was like amber, exuding a deep and attractive color.
"During this period of time, I have been away from home and followed the wise man. I have gained many different insights." Zuo Lengchan looked at Zuo Ting and said calmly: "A good pot of tea is like life. It is bitter but fragrant, and fragrant but sweet. When you first drink the tea, it is bitter at first, but the bitterness will fade away and sweetness will come."
"I have endured all the hardships as a father, and finally have experienced the sweetness. And the sufferings in your life have not yet begun, but I, as a father, have almost eliminated them for you."
"Thank you, Daddy, everything I want to say is in the wine and tea!"
"Wait!" Before Zuo Lengchan had finished shouting, Zuo Ting picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. The heat made him grimace.
"You are such a loser and ignorant man! This is Xinyang Maojian, and I only have one pound!"
"hey-hey."
Zuo Ting grinned and said with a silly smile: "Dad, I am more used to you being this way."
Zuo Lengchan was speechless for a while. He himself was not good at studying, and now it seemed that his son was not good at studying either. He could only try harder from his grandchildren.
He looked at Zuo Leng and asked, "Do you have a girl you like?"
Zuo Ting's face suddenly turned red. He didn't have it before, but he had it since the afternoon before yesterday.
Zuo Lengchan was not a virgin. Seeing his son's appearance, he knew that he had a girl in his heart, so he said gently: "Whose girl is it? I'm not bragging, even if she is the daughter of the prefect, I can help you marry her."
Lao Zuo thought silently that even if he couldn't do it, he could ask Junior Brother Ou to act as a middleman and get the job done.
After all, Junior Brother Ou’s status and position were there, so the prefect had to greet him politely whenever he saw him.
However, Lao Zuo also knew that Zuo Ting had most likely never been able to meet the daughter of the prefect before, and it was more likely that he would fall in love with the girl of the county magistrate.
If Zuo Lengchan remembered correctly, the magistrate of Dengfeng had a niece who should be sixteen years old this year. She was a good match for his silly son and could improve the old Zuo's brain.
"She's a girl from the Wang family." Zuo Ting recalled Wang Xiaoliu whom he met in the Patriarch's Hall the day before, and smiled infatuatedly. "Wang family?" Zuo Lengchan pondered, and he remembered that the magistrate of Dengfeng was named Chen.
"Yes, it's the Wang family of the Luoyang Golden Sword Sect." Zuo Ting said with a smile on his face: "Her grandfather is the old man Wang Yuanba, who is known as the 'Invincible Golden Sword'. He drank with my father the day before yesterday."
Zuo Lengchan was stunned. How could a third-rate figure like Wang Yuanba be worthy of drinking with him? !
Then he suddenly remembered that it was Wang Yuanba who came forward to toast him, and he just politely clinked his bowl with the other party.
"How do you know his granddaughter?" Zuo Lengchan narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
Zuo Ting knew at a glance that the sinister and vicious leader Zuo was online.
In order to protect his beloved, he immediately stood up and knelt beside Zuo Lengchan, begging, "Dad, I decided on Xiao Liu the first time I saw her. Please grant my wish."
“Do you know that your identity is different now? Your father, I am the commander-in-chief of Luoyang Guard and a captain of Songshan Guard! You actually want to follow a…” Zuo Lengchan couldn’t continue, because he himself was born in the underworld.
What's even more amazing is that the Wang family is also in Luoyang.
You have to know that when Zuo Lengchan was feasting and drinking with the officials, landlords and gentry in Luoyang for three days, the Wang family was not even qualified to accept the invitation.
In the blink of an eye, you're going to become someone's in-law?
Zuo Lengchan sneered in his heart. Wang Yuanba was quite courageous to plot against him, Zuo.
If it were two years ago, the Jindao Wang family would have been eliminated from Luoyang.
Now the hostility in Lao Zuo's heart has been washed away by Ou Zanghua. He has become much gentler and has learned to think truly.
He glanced at his silly son and knew that the most important thing now was to comfort him and not allow internal disunity.
So, Zuo Lengchan patted Zuo Ting's shoulder, sighed and said: "You have lived in the mountains since you were a child, and you have not seen many girls of your age, so you fell in love with her at first sight. You should stay with your father first and learn some skills. If you still can't forget her after a year, your father will come to your house to propose marriage for you."
Zuo Ting's eyes lit up, and he immediately kowtowed to Zuo Lengchan, saying with emotion: "Thank you for your understanding, Daddy!"
"You are my son. If I don't think about you, who else can I think about?" Zuo Lengchan smiled and said, "Sit down, let's have some tea!"
At the same time, in the Luoyang Jindao Gate, Wang Yuanba, who had already returned, called his two sons, Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang, over.
As soon as they met, Wang Yuanba couldn't wait to ask, "Did Xiao Liu meet Zuo Ting?"
Wang Zhongqiang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Dad. Xiao Liu said that he met Zuo Ting in the Songshan Patriarch Temple, and the two chatted for a long time."
"Okay, okay, okay." Wang Yuanba said okay three times in a row. He stroked his gray beard, very satisfied.
Wang Bofen smiled and said, "Dad is really thoughtful! Xiao Liu is the most beautiful girl in our Wang family. It's worth it that we took her from Luoyang to Songshan overnight. Zuo Ting has only been down the mountain a few times, so he must have been unable to forget Xiao Liu."
"When the time comes, the higher Zuo Lengchan climbs, the more my Wang family will get a piece of the pie!"
Wang Yuanba smiled and gave some advice, “Spend more money to collect Zuo Ting’s recent movements, and create a few more chance encounters with Xiao Liu to make him believe that this is fate. Then it all depends on how important this only son is in Lord Zuo’s heart!”
"Yes!" Wang Bofen and Wang Zhongqiang looked at each other and answered loudly.
As for whether Wang Xiaoliu loves Zuo Ting.
Is this important?
