Chapter 661: Meeting
Mr. Gu himself also has a daughter-in-law, and after thinking about his calm attitude of accepting tea from his daughter-in-law, he felt that King Qin should be stable.
"Lord Wang, you must be steady, you must be steady!"
Mr. Gu decided to teach King Qin how to be a qualified family.
"Ningzhou City, you must be going back, it looks more formal, but it is not appropriate to make a big show, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince should be in the southwest at this time, and the Princess should be in the capital. As for the house, it has already been tied, and the people who serve it are ready-made. ”
Mr. Gu first patiently replied to King Qin's question before he said earnestly:
"But, Lord Wang, you must be a little more majestic at that time, don't say too much, don't get too excited, just show your demeanor of going into battle to kill the enemy! Besides, aren't all daughters-in-law anxious to please their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, and you don't need to please them!"
King Qin has always trusted Mr. Gu, but he doesn't like to hear Mr. Gu say this at this time:
"I want to see Shao Tang's daughter-in-law, and I don't want to go into battle to kill the enemy! Shao Tang has been rough since he was a child, my dereliction of duty as a father, he can now be with his daughter-in-law and Meimei, I am very happy, even if I please them, why not?"
Mr. Gu decided to shut up, what else could he say to this master who had lost his majesty?
The next day, King Qin got up early in the morning, tidied up his appearance more ceremoniously than usual, and then took a few cronies to Ningzhou City to greet his son and daughter-in-law.
Mr. Gu wanted to say something, but he couldn't help it-all juniors came to see the elders, how could there be such elders who couldn't wait to run out to greet them?
So the people in Ningzhou City were fortunate to see the heroic posture of King Le Ma standing at the gate of the city and looking into the distance.
The King of Qin is an absolute protector for the people of Ningzhou, but the King of Qin has been living in the military camp of Yanhuipo, and most people still only hear his name and have not seen him.
King Qin finally appeared once, and immediately attracted everyone to run from the city to the outside of the city to pay respects, and after a while, the originally empty city gate gathered a crowd of black presses, squeezing King Qin's side.
King Qin was a little anxious, how could he pick up his son when he was surrounded like this?
But the king of Qin has always had a good demeanor, and no one ordered anyone to drive him away directly, so he only ordered his cronies to ask the people if they had any grievances, or if they had something to say to him.
The guards around him quickly went, and soon returned:
"No, there is no grievance and nothing to do, I just came to pay tribute to your demeanor!"
The guard almost burst out laughing.
King Qin is over forty years old, but he is still heroic, a talent, and indeed very stylish.
King Qin's old face couldn't help but turn red, and he sighed to Mr. Gu:
Think about it more than 20 years ago, when I returned to the capital from the northwest, it was a young man's pride, fresh clothes and angry horses, and his demeanor was world-...... Let's let everyone disperse!"
Mr. Gu smiled with his hands:
"This ...... Subordinates can't be the master. It's just a few glances, listening to the tone of the prince, I am not afraid of people looking at it, the people of Ningzhou City are not blessed to look at the demeanor of the prince more than 20 years ago, and now I can take a look, and it is good to think about it!"
The guard saw that King Qin was not angry, and Mr. Gu was also smiling, estimating that King Qin didn't care about being watched by the people, so he tentatively persuaded:
"Lord Wang, there are too many people here, there are few people in our side, and we can't persuade them to leave, you see......"
"That's it, it's just a few glances, and this king is not afraid!"
King Qin generously relieved, and his gaze gradually sank.
He mounted his horse and looked back at the blackened crowd.
He could read the curiosity and reverence in the eyes of those people, which he valued by the people he guarded, and who had been baptized by it countless times in his past glory years.
But in such a gaze, there will never be the gentle gaze of the Jiangnan woman when he returned to Beijing.
She's gone, he's still living alone.
King Qin turned his head and blinked his phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Xiao Shaotang, to suppress the sudden tears, and the fine lines in the corners of his eyes were suddenly full of vicissitudes.
King Qin looked at the official road that stretched out at the gate of Ningzhou City, where dust gradually flew up.
He raised his hand to sweep through the empty air around him, as if she were beside him.
Lan Jun, I'll just be by your side, our son is here, let's wait for him to come, okay?
In Bai Chenghuan's imagination, she and Xiao Shaotang both came to the northwest secretly, and they were fugitives, and they probably had to go to the barracks by themselves.
So when she saw the black and oppressive figure at the city gate, she was completely stunned-
"Xiao Shaotang, look! Are we being discovered?!"
Xiao Shaotang amusedly comforted his daughter-in-law who seemed to be a thief and was arrested, and slowed down his horse to look over.
There were crowds of people in the distance, but Xiao Shaotang still saw his father at a glance.
"That's Father, that's Father!"
Xiao Shaotang turned around and said to Bai Chenghuan, but he couldn't help but have a sour nose - since he left Ningzhou and rushed to the capital, he hadn't seen his father for nearly a year.
On weekdays, he is thousands of miles away, busy, and he has not been with King Qin for a long time, and he has not felt any longing and admiration.
But at this moment, seeing King Qin standing outside the city gate like this, waiting for him like a majestic stone sculpture, the father-son relationship that existed in the blood gradually boiled.
And for those who surrounded King Qin, Xiao Shaotang was not too surprised.
Facing the scorching wind of the northwest summer, he walked forward and said to Bai Chenghuan:
"In the past, I often heard Mr. Yuan say that whenever my father appeared on the street, he would be watched, and I had never seen the grand scene at that time, but today you and I are fortunate to witness it. ”
Bai Chenghuan's nervousness in the past few days finally reached its peak, and the hand holding Ma Jian gradually tightened.
"So many people...... Father is not afraid, will we be discovered?"
"My father has been bright and upright all his life, since he can do this, he must not be afraid, you see, my father can go out of the city to meet you, which means that he is extremely welcome to you in his heart!"
Xiao Shaotang explained patiently, while comforting her by the way.
"Is he welcoming me?"
Bai Chenghuan muttered to herself, still not daring to believe it - she had heard that the junior went out ten miles to greet his parents, and this was the first time she had seen a father come out to greet the junior like this!
The tension of the past few days on the road suddenly dissipated - the fact that he was able to greet them like this shows that he was also happy to meet them, right?
King Qin had already seen the people and horses coming from afar, and he was about to rush out as soon as his legs clamped the belly of the horse, but he was stopped by Mr. Gu.
"Lord Wang, you steady, steady! You are an elder, too accustomed to juniors will break their blessings!"
The king of Qin had no choice but to restrain the horse stiff alive, and waited in place with excitement.
Finally, the group of men and horses arrived in front of them, and the people on the horses dismounted one after another and strode in front of King Qin.
"Good boy, you're finally here!"
Without waiting for Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan to call out the words "father", King Qin dismounted first, stepped forward and held Xiao Shaotang's hand.
The ordinary people of Ningzhou City have only heard of the prince of Qin, but they have not seen it with their own eyes, and at this time, seeing that the king of Qin is so excited about a junior, there are all kinds of speculations in their hearts, but they also do not think about the prince of Qin, because everyone knows that the prince of Qin was sent to the southwest by the emperor.
It's just that they all muttered in their hearts, this is some relative of King Qin, who actually looks so similar to King Qin!
The father and son looked at each other hand in hand, and Xiao Shaotang saw that there were so many people crowded around King Qin, and he understood that the father still couldn't shout at this time after all.
He didn't say much, he knelt down and kowtowed in an orderly manner, and then stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Chenghuan who was following him, and smiled at King Qin:
"Lord Wang, this is my wife, this is the girl I wanted to find when I left Ningzhou. ”
Bai Chenghuan was nervous on the road, but when he saw the real person at this time, those nervousness disappeared. I just glanced at King Qin with some curiosity, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart, their father and son actually looked so similar!
However, amazed and amazed, Bai Chenghuan still stepped forward very obediently and saluted King Qin.
It was this gift that made King Qin almost can't help but redden.
When his son was still in Lan Jun's womb, they also talked at night in the west window, guessing whether their child was male or female.
He also said that if it is a daughter, what if it is a son.
Now, if Lan Jun is still here, he will definitely be able to drink a sip of his daughter-in-law's mother-in-law tea today.
After a moment of sadness, the excited King Qin immediately became nervous when he met the big black and white eyes, and tried his best to show a smile that he thought was kind, and smiled kindly at Bai Chenghuan:
"It's hard for you to follow him so far...... Good, good!"
He originally wanted to say a few words to express his love, but the words were a little incoherent.
Mr. Gu frowned when he looked at it from the side, just like King Qin, forget it, the majesty of this Weng will definitely not stand up!
He tugged at the corner of King Qin's robe behind him and reminded him quietly:
"Childe and young grandmother came from afar, this is not the place to talk, prince, let's go back and talk?"
King Qin suddenly woke up to the fact that there were many people here, and it was indeed not the place to speak.
Although the people are simple, who can guarantee that the people around them are all people?
"Good boy, let's go back!"
King Qin took the lead in turning over his horse and bowed to the people around him:
"Xiao came to pick up my nephew today, I disturbed you, we will go back to the city immediately, please forgive me!"
The onlookers understood what it meant, and immediately flattered to make a way, and the eyes that looked at King Qin became different.
The heroic middle-aged man in front of him was obviously His Royal Highness the Venerable King of Qin of Great Qi and the god of war who guarded the safety of their side, but he was so polite to them and spoke so humbly!
They are not angry to be driven away by their presumptuous onlookers today, but at this moment it is said that it has disturbed them, what kind of magnanimity is needed!
Some people were excited and shouted:
"The prince must not say that! The prince of Qin guards the people of Ningzhou, we admire it in our hearts, and I take the liberty to come today, but the prince does not care about us, I will wait to see the prince in this life, and I will have no regrets for the rest of my life!
Such sincere words immediately resonated, and the people shouted:
"Congratulations to the prince back to the city!"
Some people were even excited to kneel down and kowtow, and just about to bend their knees, they were stopped by King Qin's guards.
King Qin also leaned over slightly on the horse and saluted the people in return:
"Xiao has been praised by his father and elders, and he has nothing to repay, and he will do his best to protect the safety of his family and country!"
After saying that, he straightened up and led the horse forward.
Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan followed behind King Qin, and they were also bathed in such glory.
The horse galloped, and Bai Cheng welcomed the wind and remembered his father in the capital and his father in Yuzhou.
As military generals, they served the country loyally, fought horses all their lives, and even shrouded in horse leather at the end, and all they could get was the support and admiration of the people.
And in this world, it is precisely because of such people that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the king can sit back and relax.
And she, born in a family of military generals, died at the hands of the emperor, and after being reborn, her father was a horse career, so that now she is married, and her husband and father-in-law are holding swords to guard the world.
Thinking about the incredible power you have, isn't this a kind of providence?
If this is where she ends up in this life, she feels very satisfied.
King Qin's mansion in Ningzhou is still the same house he lived in when he wore a guilty body before.
The house looks a little dilapidated from the outside, but it is spacious and tidy inside.
Bai Chenghuan glanced at it slightly, and felt that although this house was not a high-rise mansion, it also had a sense of warmth.
She didn't know that in order to welcome her, the curtains and curtains here had all been replaced with soft colors.
After entering the house, King Qin gradually recovered from his excitement.
Slightly raised some gestures of being a father-in-law, sat upright, and received Bai Chenghuan's salute, and accepted the tea she offered.
Then he gently ordered someone to take out the meeting gift he had prepared a long time ago, and directly opened it and handed it to Bai Chenghuan:
"When we met for the first time, I don't know what you like, this pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets was given to me by the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, and now I give you and Shaotang, I wish you two and Meimei, I will rest assured. ”
After Bai Chenghuan took the pair of bracelets, King Qin took out another emerald green delicate jade plaque and solemnly handed it to her:
This was Shaotang's mother's favorite belongings when she was still alive. I think if she is still alive now, she is willing to give this to you, so that you can keep it and leave it to your children in the future, which can be regarded as a piece of your mother's heart. ”
In the end, King Qin's voice seemed to be choked.
Since it was the legacy of the late Princess Qin, Bai Chenghuan did not refuse, respectfully took it, and kowtowed again to thank King Qin.
After Weng and daughter-in-law met, when Bai Chenghuan retired with Xiao Shaotang, King Qin called them again.
"Bring this bottle of wound medicine, I heard that you were injured a few days ago in order to save Shaotang, and you were wronged. ”
Bai Chenghuan felt infinitely warm in an accident.
Looking at what we see today, this person who has gone through half a life of ups and downs has always had a bright and soft heart, which is so precious for a military general.
She turned back and thanked her earnestly:
"Thank you, father. ”
