Chapter 358: Twenty Years Back to Hometown
The prince and his entourage only stayed in the Bamboo Forest Villa for five days, and they had to return to the capital on the sixth day. Before leaving, my grandfather saw the prince coming and going in a hurry, so he asked curiously:
"Lord, what is the urgent matter in the court?"
"I didn't want to say it, but since Brother Ge asked, let's reveal some. Recently, the Hu people in the north have frequently harassed the border, and the imperial court has received many urgent documents from the border gates. Although in the past few years, the Hu people would cross the border to make some moves at every turn, but they were all petty fights, and since the beginning of last year, in the past year and a half, they have intensified, and some are ready to move. The reason why I came a few days late was because the saint sent me to the palace to discuss the matter. ”
Speaking of this, the prince looked at Guan Zhongping, who came to see him off, and asked:
"Does Zhongping have an idea?"
The meaning of the prince is obvious, for a military general like Guan Zhongping, if he wants to go further in his career, he can only rely on accumulating military merits.
"May I ask you, Lord Wang, how far has the situation at the border developed?"
"The ministers of the DPRK and China have always thought that there will be no war this year. The imperial court is making preparations. ”
"In this case, the last general should stay here first, waiting for the next change in the border, if there is really a war, just a call from the prince and the court, the last general will definitely go to the soup and the fire, at any cost."
The prince listened to Guan Zhongping's words and looked at him with some doubts. In the mind of the prince, Guan Zhongping is the kind of hot-blooded person who can't listen to the word war. According to Guan Zhongping's impression in the prince's mind, when he heard the border change, Guan Zhongping should have immediately asked to go to the border gate. Unexpectedly, Guan Zhongping had to stay here and wait for the next news. This can't help but make the prince wonder.
"Okay, you just stay here first, after Brother Ge and his wife leave in a few days, you have to be more careful, don't be taken advantage of."
"Please rest assured, as long as Zhongping is here, the villa will be safe."
After explaining Guan Zhongping, the prince asked Yao Shuangcheng again.
"How long do Brother Yao's father and son plan to stay here?"
"After seeing off Brother Ge, we'll set off for home."
The reason why Yao Wenlin came with him this time was because he had other things to do. It's just that because the prince is there, there has been no action.
After the group saw off the princess and princess, they turned around and came to the living room of the small building. Yao Shuangcheng asked his grandfather:
"When are Brother Ge going to leave?"
"It's the end of July, and it's not too late to go after the rice harvest and the August Festival, when the weather is cool."
"Brother Ge, don't hide it, I came this time, and I have one more thing to discuss with you."
"Brother Yao, why should you be polite to me, if you have something to say, just say it."
"My brother wants to be a companion with Brother Ge in a hundred years."
Grandpa, Ran'er and the others understood as soon as they heard it, no wonder Yao Wenlin also came with him this time. Grandpa smiled and said:
"I'm sorry, since it can't affect Wei'er and Lord Lingyin, brother, I also hope that my brother can come to accompany me in the future."
"Then thank you Brother Ge, and Ran'er Lian'er."
"Grandpa Yao, don't be polite to us, if it weren't for Grandpa Yao, we wouldn't have met our mother so soon."
"Yes, Brother Yao, we will be a family in the future, so don't talk about the two families anymore. Since Brother Yao is here, he simply chooses the position, and it just so happens that Wenlin's nephew is also there, so as not to trouble him in the future. ”
Yao Wenlin's original intention of coming with him is also this, the two of them have discussed it at home in advance, if the Ge family agrees, then they will guard the location chosen by Yao Wenlin and the Ge family, and when they are buried in the future, there will be no mistakes.
With Yao Shuangcheng here, there is no need for others to worry about the location of the tomb, and soon under the gaze of his grandfather, Yao Wenlin, as well as Ran'er and Qinglian, he chose a place not far from Niang and Lingyin County Lord, and it is also one of the nine points of the Nine Palaces Diagram. The tombs of Yao Shuangcheng and his grandfather, the two live next to each other. The location of the tomb was determined, and Yao Shuangcheng's mind was over. After another day, Yao Wenlin drove the carriage, and the two returned to Cannes.
My grandparents were planning to leave for Cannes on August 16. On August 15, my mother and Aunt Ling reappeared and spent a group member festival with my grandparents and grandmother Ran'er Qinglian. During this period, my mother heard that my grandparents would come to Cannes every day, so she muttered for a while, and then said to my grandparents:
"Dad, mother, Wei'er also wants to go back and see."
Of course, my grandparents will not object, but I am worried about whether there will be an accident or whether it will affect my mother's body cohesion. Qinglian saw that her grandparents were hesitating and knew what they were worried about, so she said:
"Let my mother hide in the jade pendant, and my sister and I will go together, won't it?"
"If that's the case, Dad, Mother, I also want to go with Sister Wei'er to have a look."
"Okay, anyway, now there are Zhang Dazhu and Ge Zhuang here, as well as the guards of the palace, and it is not a big problem for Ran'er and Lian'er to be there."
Grandpa finally made a decision, and the matter was settled. Because the Ran'er sisters also had to follow, the group was postponed for a day. On the sixteenth day, Ran'er first brought Zhang Dazhu and Ge Zhuang to instruct:
"Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ge, Lian'er and I are going to accompany my grandparents back to Lincannes, and it is estimated that it will take about two months to go back and forth, and the two uncles will have to worry more about things at home. Still like some time ago, Uncle Zhang is in charge of things in the field, as well as ponds, chickens and ducks, etc. Uncle Ge is in charge of everything in the house, including the ancestral hall. As for the protection, I'll ask you to take care of it later. ”
Zhang Dazhu and Ge Zhuang both asked Ran'er to rest assured that there would be no trouble.
"Uncle Zhang, this year's lotus root and fish are estimated to produce a lot of fish, so you must prepare in advance, don't mess up when the time comes. As in previous years, let Uncle Wenlin pull the lotus root first, and then sell the rest locally. ”
"Miss Ran'er rest assured, when the winter wheat is planted, I will start arranging manpower to dig the lotus root, and as for selling fish, if Brother Ge is free, he will go out for me to find a home."
"Okay, it's been almost three years since I came to the villa, and I have hardly gone out for a walk, so this matter is on Ge Zhuang."
"After we leave, if there is something, the two uncles will try to discuss it, as the saying goes, one person is short-minded."
After instructing Zhang Dazhu and Ge Zhuang, Ran'er and Qinglian came to the barracks again and found Guan Zhongping and told them that they were going to Linkang City.
"Master Guan, after we leave, the safety of the family will be handed over to Lord Guan, as for the six martial artists of the martial arts hall, I have also ordered it, and I will obey Lord Guan's dispatch."
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, I think it's better for me to bring one of my subordinates to accompany you to Linkang City. There will be nothing to do at home, but I'm worried that after I get to Linkang City, it will be the territory of the Xie family, in case Xie Yu has any moves, it will be more convenient to have us. ”
Ran'er really didn't think of this layer, mainly because there has been no action on the Xie Mansion side in the past few years, which makes Ran'er almost forget about the Xie family. Ran Er thought about it and said to Guan Zhongping:
"What Master Guan said is good, but I was negligent. Just do as Lord Guan wants, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Ran Er knew that there was no need to give more orders, Guan Zhongping would definitely be able to arrange it.
After a qiē was ready, early the next morning, after breakfast, grandparents and Ran'er Qinglian took a carriage, Guan Zhongping and a subordinate named Wang Jun, dressed in civilian clothes, rode behind the carriage of Ran'er and a few people, and marched towards Linkang City.
