Chapter 22 The Wen Family in Jizhou
Seeing this well-trained more than 100 heavy riders, Jing Wen frowned.
Chen Yanke next to him was overjoyed, and explained to Jing Wen: "Jing Shaoxia, this heavy rider is your own person, please rest assured." ”
After Chen Yanke finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward, and said loudly: "Miss is in the carriage, Hong Tongling is seriously injured, you follow the carriage and escort Miss back to the city." ”
The leader nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Black armor Xuanqi, escort Miss with me." ”
Then the heavy cavalry scattered left and right, making way for a road, and Chen Yanke drove the carriage through the middle and drove towards Jizhou City.
Heavy riders followed.
A hundred meters outside the city of Jizhou, the heavy armor Xuanqi no longer advanced, stopped outside the city, only seven or eight horses, and continued to follow the carriage to the city.
The soldiers guarding the city, seeing the heavy riding behind the carriage, did not stop it, and directly let Jingwen and his party enter the city.
A group of people entered Jizhou City from the south gate.
This is the first time Jingwen has come to such a prosperous city.
In the open spaces on both sides of the street, there are many small vendors with large umbrellas. The road stretches east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, where the streets are constantly crowded with pedestrians.
On both sides of the street, liquor stores and shop flags are flying.
There are those who carry burdens and hurry, there are those who drive ox carts to deliver goods, there are those who drive donkeys to pull wagons, and there are those who stop to enjoy the scenery of the inner city.
Centered on the tall castle tower, there are tea houses, wine shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the sun is faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles, dotted with pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous Jizhou city in front of you.
Jingwen walked casually on the bustling streets, sometimes looking around, and he was curious about all this when he entered a large city for the first time in so many years.
The endless flow of cars, horses and pedestrians, and a dazzling variety of commodities all set off the prosperity of Jizhou City.
On the east side of the street, there are singers playing the melancholy and tactful guqin, the sandalwood is fluttering, the sound of the piano is beautiful, and the beams are winding, making people stop and stop.
"Jing Shaoxia, how about it, Jicheng is prosperous. Chen Yanke glanced at the land of wind and flowers in the south of the city out of the corner of his eye, and looked at Jingwendao with a smile.
He obviously saw Jingwen's curiosity, and a hint of banter arose in his heart.
"It's really good. Jingwen felt a bit like a bun, and he was afraid of being discovered by this old man, so he had to say lightly.
Chen Yanke laughed when he saw his magic.
Through this time of getting along and making small talk.
Chen Yanke has already seen that the young man in front of him is not a murderer, and he is very easy to get along with.
So he occasionally dared to make some painless jokes with Jingwen.
Jingwen also knew that Chen Yanke deliberately teased himself, and he was a little helpless.
Chen Yanke, whose full name is Chen Qian, just hangs a cigarette pouch around his waist all the year round, so he has the nickname of Chen Yanke.
The Wen family is located in the north of the city of Jizhou.
Not long after the group walked forward, they arrived at Wenfu.
The carriage stopped in front of the Wen Mansion and everyone arrived safely.
Several heavy knights carried Commander Hong to heal his wounds.
The maid also helped Miss Wen out of the carriage.
After Miss Wen got out of the car, she gave a salute to Jingwen.
An old butler, followed by a few subordinates, hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss, you're finally back, but you're worried about the master. He is waiting for you in the hall. Old Qian, the master has ordered, please come with me. The old man hurriedly spoke.
"Well, you lead the way. Chen Yanke nodded.
After speaking, he looked at Jing Wen and said: "Jing Shaoxia, thanks to you this time, we have turned evil into good fortune, you can also go to the hall with us, let the Wen family repay you well." ”
Jingwen was a little hesitant, he didn't know the Wen family, others talked about their own family, and he didn't want to join in the fun.
"Jing Shaoxia, please go with us, let Mu Qing do the friendship of the landlord. Miss Wen, Wen Muqing said softly.
Jingwen thought about it, if he went to inquire about the news of the Zhou family alone, it would be better to ask the Wen family directly, which could save a lot of time.
After making up his mind, Jingwen no longer hesitated and agreed.
The gates of the Wen family are all gold nails and vermilion lacquer, the walls of the house are all bricks and stones, the carved dragon and phoenix fly away, covered with glazed tiles, and the colored sill of the vermilion column.
Entering the main gate of the Wen family, I saw a big hall, and the left and right horizontal doors outside the hall were very heroic.
Jingwen followed them and soon came to the hall.
"Mu Qing, Qian Lao, you can be counted as back. A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a burly figure quickly walked out.
This person is dressed in a yellow satin robe, which can't hide his outstanding heroic posture, his three-dimensional facial features are like knife carvings, sharp and angular, and his eyes are sharp and profound.
"Father, my daughter has said hello to you. Wen Muqing put his left hand on his knee, his right hand hung down, and his right leg was half-kneeling, pausing slightly.
"Blessed old man. The maid also hurriedly bowed.
Qian Lao just arched his hand.
"Mu Qing, are you hurt?" The middle-aged man stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"Father, rest assured, this time thanks to Qian Lao and this young man, otherwise I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. Wen Muqing looked at Jing Wendao.
Listened to my daughter's answer.
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Not long ago, I heard that the black armor Xuanqi came to report that there was a young man returning with you, it should be this young man, thank you Shaoxia, a little help." ”
Jingwen smiled and nodded.
Although the middle-aged man listened to his daughter, it was thanks to Qian Lao and this young man.
However, when he saw that Jingwen was young, he thought that Jingwen had only helped a little, and he mainly relied on Chen Yanke this way, and did not pay special attention to Jingwen.
Then the middle-aged man turned to Chen Yanke and said loudly: "Thank you Qian Lao for helping." I wonder if this young man is Qian Lao's nephew or apprentice?"
"Wen Xiong, you can't talk nonsense, how dare I be Jing Shaoxia's master, what you say scares me to death.
Although I also made some efforts, this trip is all thanks to Jing Shaoxia. Qian Lao was frightened by Wen Xiong's words. He looked at Jingwen with a smile and hurriedly explained.
Although Chen Yanke and Jingwen have walked all the way, they know that Jingwen has a more easy-going personality, so he should not turn his face.
However, Wen Xiong said that he was the head of Jingwen, and he was a little rude, and Chen Yanke didn't want to offend Jingwen.
Listen to Chen Yanke's hurried and solemn explanation. Even, Chen Yanke's attitude towards Jingwen was a little respectful.
Wen Xiong was a little surprised in his heart.
When he saw his daughter and Chen Yanke, they all praised Jingwen.
Wen Xiong had some bold guesses, he put away his previous casual attitude, and paid attention to Jingwen in his heart.
At this time, Jingwen, although a little ragged, had a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew, a straight nose, and full of aura between his eyebrows, which was very delicate.
Wen Xiong looked at Jingwen again, and his eyes became different.
"I don't know the name of the young man, who is it?" Wen Xiong said kindly.
"I'm from Jizhou, but I used to live in a remote countryside. Jingwen replied.
"It's definitely a great place for a great person. Wen Xiong laughed loudly.
Jingwen thought of his own town, and then thought of the Western Ancient Sect.
Suddenly there was some melancholy.
"By the way, I came to Jizhou City this time to find a distant relative, they are also from Jizhou City, I don't know if you can help me inquire about it. ”
"As long as it's from Jizhou City, I'll help you find it, Shaoxia, but it's okay. Wen Xiong replied heartily.
Suddenly hearing Jingwen say that he was here to find relatives, Chen Yanke and Wen Muqing suddenly became curious.
"I only know that my distant relative's surname is Zhou, I don't know if there is a Zhou family in Jizhou City?"
