C59

Ling Zhang who had yet to get off the carriage was stopped in his tracks by the hand, his eyes sweeping across everyone who was staring at him strangely, holding back his temper, he secretly glared at Yuwen Tong, "I can get off myself."

Yuwen Tong retracted his hand, and didn't leave, only looking at him.

Ling Zhang:...

He got out of the carriage and prepared to jump down.

Unexpectedly, his knee seemed to have been bounced by something strange, and his legs suddenly became weak.

Following that, a pair of hands embraced him and wrapped around his waist to carry him off the carriage!

Ling Zhang swore, he could hear all sorts of gasps coming from the surroundings!

"You!" Although he did not understand what flicked his leg, but his intuition told him that it was Yuwen Tong who did this!

Yuwen Tong looked back at him with a puzzled expression, "What? "I can see that you aren't able to stand steadily. What's there to be angry about if I help you?"

How pretentious, Ling Zhang fumed with rage, but there was no proof, he lowered his voice and grinded his teeth: "Quickly put me down!"

Yuwen Tong straightforwardly put him down.

"Zhang Er, you can't be rude to Master." Ling Xingzhong reprimanded.

"No worries, Ling childe is just joking, Lord Ling, don't take it seriously." Yuwen Tong helped Ling Zhang.

Ling Zhang didn't want to accept his kindness, so he said to Ling Xingzhong: "Grandfather, I'm covered with Feng Chen, I'll go change my clothes first."

"Hurry up and go." Ling Zhaowen hurriedly said before he opened his mouth.

Ling Zhang gratefully looked at Second Uncle and then brought Ling Maomao back to his own courtyard.

Ling Xingzhong apologized awkwardly to Yuwen Tong, "I'm really sorry, Zhang Er has always been a steady man, today he must be tired from sitting on the carriage."

"I understand, there's no need for Lord Ling to be so courteous. Why don't we find a place to sit first?" Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Xingzhong quickly went along the stairs: "Right, right, Sir, please."

Before leaving with Ling Xingzhong, Yuwen Tong looked at Ling Zhang's leaving figure, and a hint of a smile flashed deep in his eyes.

Ling Zhaowen did not follow them, with the excuse that he was going to instruct the servants to prepare dinner, but he had already entered Ling Zhang's courtyard.

"Zhang Er, what's going on today? Why did Yuwen Tong run to the medicinal field? "You guys …" Once Ling Zhaowen entered the room, he could not help but ask the questions in his heart.

At the end, Ling Zhang hurriedly said, "We're nothing!"

After saying that, he felt that he had overreacted. Feeling a little vexed, he opened his mouth again and had already calmed down. "Today, something happened. He just happened to appear."

He recounted the matter of Patrol detaining the medicine farmer, and how Yuwen Tong encountered the messenger who rushed over to help him.

"How preposterous!" Ling Zhaowen was extremely angry, "Zhang Chong was just looking at you going to the medicinal field to find an excuse to trick him into entering the State Guard's encampment, so he wanted to make a move on you.

"At that time, I originally wanted to stall for time for people to come back to Tan Yang to call you guys, or else we would rob them, I never thought that Yuwen Tong would suddenly appear, and shock the people of Patrol." Ling Zhang said.

Ling Zhaowen said: "This is indeed all thanks to him."

Then he said, "Just now, he …"

"He was just joking. Second Uncle, don't take it to heart." Ling Zhang said.

Ling Zhaowen nodded, and said, "From the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be the type of person to be ungrateful and look down upon others with his dog eyes."

Ling Zhang's eyes flashed, "Who knows?

Ling Zhaowen patted Ling Zhang's shoulder, "No matter what, let's keep looking. If he is really that kind of person, Second Uncle will help you cancel this marriage no matter what."

What if it wasn't that kind of person? Could it be that Second Uncle just wanted him and Yuwen Tong to get married?

"Second Uncle, it doesn't matter if he's a person like that, or a family like Yuwen Clan. We can't afford to do that, or …"

"Nonsense, you're good wherever you are, so why can't you climb higher? Don't belittle yourself!" Ling Zhaowen said sternly.

Although Ling Zhang was moved by his words, he didn't mind belittling himself at this time, because he didn't really want to get ahead of himself.

"Second Uncle, Yuwen Tong, he …"

"Eldest Young Master, old master asks you to quickly go after changing your clothes."

Ling Zhang had not finished speaking, but his words were cut off.

"The Old Master has taken a liking to Yuwen Tong." Ling Zhaowen said something that nearly made Ling Zhang's soul fly out of his body.

"Didn't he just come in this morning? Why did grandfather find Yuwen Tong pleasing to the eye so quickly?" Ling Zhang did not understand!

"This marriage was delayed until you became an adult before it was annulled. The Old Master originally wanted to help with this marriage, but Yuwen Tong is worthy of being Da Yue's number one Grand Marshal of the Army and Horse, he has his own merits to attract the Old Man's attention." Ling Zhaowen said.

What he didn't say was that if he hadn't known about what happened in Ling Zhang's dreams, he would have been very satisfied with Yuwen Tong right now.

When Ling Zhang thought about how Yuwen Tong had teased him several times today, he felt that this person was not at all steady.

"You should change. I'll go over first." Ling Zhaowen said, and at the same time called out to Ling Maomao, "Mao Mao, let's go back."

Ling Maomao replied as he obediently followed his father.

After Ling Zhang washed himself, he changed his clothes. As he pondered on how to make Yuwen Tong take the initiative to ask his grandfather to give up the marriage, he walked towards antechamber.

Before he even reached the antechamber, he heard his grandfather's hearty laughter. It had been a long time since he had seen his grandfather, who was laughing heartily like this.

His footsteps paused, and Ling Zhang couldn't bear to go over and interrupt his grandfather's happy laughter. He had crawled up from the pile of evil spirits, all for the sake of letting his family members live happily and happily.

Who knew what Dao Yuwentong had said.

"Zhang Er is here, quickly come in." Ling Xingzhong's happy voice came from inside.

Ling Zhang walked in again, "Grandfather." Then, he said to Yuwen Tong indifferently, "Master."

"Calling me master seems unfamiliar. Based on the relationship between our two families, Zhang Di should address me as big brother." Yuwen Tong said.

Zhang Di? Brother? Ling Zhang's face froze.

Ling Xingzhong saw that Ling Zhang did not make a sound, and frowned: "Zhang Er, what are you daydreaming for?"

"Grandfather, I was scared by you, so I don't dare to call you that." Ling Zhang secretly gritted his teeth.

"Zhang Di is too reserved. A good man should be more straightforward, there's nothing to be afraid of." Yuwen Tong said.

Zhang Di, Zhang Di, you call it addiction?! Ling Zhang glared at Yuwen Tong.

"Cough, Zhang Er?" Ling Xingzhong said.

Ling Zhang looked at his grandfather's rigid face, and felt inexplicably wronged in his heart. Forget it, forget it.

"Big brother." Ling Zhang shouted, gritting his teeth.

Yuwen Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said, "Since you called me Big Brother, then your future matters will be my problem. If Big Brother has a day, he will protect you."

Ling Zhang looked at him in shock. When Yuwen Tong said this, he meant it as a promise, not a joke, "You …"

Why? Ling Zhang was really confused, why did Yuwen Tong give him this promise?

Ling Zhang was truly confused.

"Zhang Er, thank the lord." Ling Xingzhong saw that his eldest grandson was distracted and frowned, not understanding what was going on with Ling Zhang.

"It's alright, Zhang Di should be tired." Yuwen Tong said, his eyes still looking at Ling Zhang.

Ling Zhang lowered his eyes, "Thank you big brother."

It didn't matter if Yuwen Tong was sincere or not, as Yuwen Tong himself had said, he only needed to see what he had done.

So if he wasn't in a hurry, it was best not to ruin his grandfather's mood.

After entering Ling Zhaowen and Fu Caiwei, he appeared.

Yuwen Tong was no stranger to Fu Caiwei, he had already met him once in the morning, and knew that the Ling Family was not full of people, the family structure was simple, and there were no rules binding large families. Fu Caiwei, the Second Aunt, was also an important relative to Ling Zhang.

"Family banquet, I hope sire doesn't mind." Ling Zhaowen said.

"Second Uncle Ling is too courteous, the family banquet is just the right choice. All of the cooks in the border army make these kinds of family meals, but I don't feel used to having a rich and powerful family." Yuwen Tong said.

As long as Yuwen Tong thought about it, it would be very difficult to find someone who wasn't flattered. Ling Zhaowen first called him Second Uncle Ling, and then heard what Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang thought about the Yuwen Tong who had an astonishingly sharp aura during the day in the forest, and then looked at the Yuwen Tong who had become peaceful and close with his grandfather and Second Uncle.

He finally understood why his grandfather would be taken down by Yuwen Tong so quickly. With this change in attitude, he didn't have the ability to do so.

After just a few sentences, they had already started talking about the border trials. Even Ling Maomao and Fu Caiwei had been listening in on it, but upon seeing this scene, the food in Ling Zhang's mouth became tasteless.

Yuwen Tong's gaze swept past him and scooped a meat ball into his bowl.

At that time, everyone else had yet to react, their attention was still on what Yuwen Tong had said. Ling Zhang had only reacted after looking at the meat in the bowl for a long time, and suddenly turned to look at Yuwen Tong.

How did Yuwen Tong know that he liked to eat this?

This meatball was personally made by the Second Aunt himself, it had always been the most suitable for his taste, and was the only one at the table that could be eaten when he was distracted.

Yuwen Tong saw that he was looking at his, so he looked at him with an inquiring gaze: Is it not enough?

Ling Zhang immediately averted his gaze and looked at the meatballs in his bowl. He did not know whether to eat it or not.

"What's wrong with Zhang Er, why aren't you eating?" In the end, it was Fu Caiwei who found Ling Zhang staring blankly at the meat balls in his bowl, and asked.

Just one sentence was enough to draw the attention of everyone at the table. Ling Zhang immediately pretended that he was fine and said, "I was also deep in thought listening to it."

"Hahaha." Ling Xingzhong laughed, "What Master said about the border trial, is that we are all looking forward to. As men, it is truly a pity that we did not go onto the battlefield to help protect the border."

As long as you seek fortune for the citizens, you will have done your part. I have heard my grandfather mention that before you became a Minister of Rites, you did many deeds to benefit the citizens while they were not part of the Minister of Rites. " Yuwen Tong said.

Is that so? Ling Zhang had never heard of this before, so he couldn't help but look at his grandfather.
