Mama Tian looked dazed.

Qing Mama said: "It's almost to Jinyang City?" ”

"Really?" Mama Tian didn't feel sleepy, opened her eyes, sat up and lifted the curtain, isn't it Jinyang City in front of her, familiar, for them, it's really too familiar.

The carriage walked on the official road, leaving behind a string of "rolling! Rolling! Rolling! ".

So-yeon jumped up and looked out the window curiously.

Yu woke up and stretched his waist, "Look! It's been almost thirty years, and it really hasn't changed, the apple forest in the south of the city is still there, I heard that it was the Tang family in Jinyang in the early years, and later I heard that the Tang family was defeated. ”

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and then prosperous families have risen and fallen.

The Jiang family is like this, a hundred years ago in the period of Qi Taizu, the Jiang family was also one of the largest families in the Jin Dynasty, but because the ancestors had beautiful concubines, they caused disasters and fell for a hundred years. It wasn't until Jiang Shuncheng came out that the Jiang family prospered again.

Su Yan only recently learned from the mouths of Mama Tian and the Yu clan that the Jinyang Jiang clan is divided into two branches, one in Dongtang Township in the north of Jinyang City, and the other in Xiling Township. Originally in Dongtang Township, more than 20 years ago, Jiang Shuncheng returned to his hometown, and deliberately wanted to divide one, for this reason, he gave 10,000 taels of silver to the Jiang clan patriarch of Dongtang Township. At that time, 10,000 taels of silver was a lot of money for them.

After the Xiling Jiang clan was separated, Jiang Shuncheng prepared 800 acres of fertile land and villas in Xiling Township to settle the clansmen.

The Xiling Jiang clan is the descendants of Jiang Zhiyuan a hundred years ago, and the number is not large, including women and children, there are only 120 people. More than 20 years have passed, and the Xiling Jiang clan has lived a richer life than the Dongtang Jiang clan. Sun Zixing and Ding Wang are said to have nearly 400 people now.

Just ten years ago, Jiang Shuncheng took tens of thousands of taels of silver and ordered Jiang Shunxin and others to buy fields around Xiling Township. Settle the clansmen.

One of the guards shouted: "Who's ahead?" ”

I saw that both sides of the road were full of men, women and children, all dressed in spirit, brightly dressed, and some people were waving flags, which said "Welcome Wenzhong to return to his hometown to visit relatives", and the young men and women on the side held mountain flowers picked from the mountains, or pear blossoms, or rhododendrons, and moon flowers, smiling and looking forward to it.

A man at the head clasped his fists and said: "In Xiajiang Shunxin, he is Wen Zhonghou's younger brother." ”

Jiang Shuncheng shouted: "Stop!" ”

The carriage came to an abrupt halt.

Jiang Chuanliang helped him get out of the car. Jiang Shunxin saw his brother, whom he hadn't seen for many years. Tears welled up in his eyes. Obviously he is a younger brother, but in comparison, he is like an older brother. "Brother...... You're finally back. After receiving the letter from home, I sent someone to read it several times every day in the past few days. A few days ago, there was a dart master who came back from the imperial city, saying that he met you on the way, and guessed that you would arrive today, so he brought his people to wait. ”

Everyone sighed for a while, especially the young children, always thinking that Jiang Xiangye, who was proud of their clan, was an old man with white hair, and there were gray hairs, but there were a few of them, take a closer look. can find more gray hair, it turns out that it is innumerable, born white, weak, not angry and arrogant, very important ministers.

Jiang Shuncheng hugged his fists: "I've made everyone wait for a long time." In February, there were two happy events in the house. The six sons shall be married, and the eldest son of the second room shall also be married. No, there are also two times in the March Mansion, it is Shu Kun's second son who marries the princess, and the young daughter is out of the cabinet......"

Jiang Shunxin wiped his tears and said with a touched face: "The eldest brother didn't even eat his grandson's wedding banquet, but came to eat my eldest grandson's wedding wine, which made my younger brother grateful." ”

"I promised you since the morning, and I won't let you down." Jiang Shuncheng stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Shunxin's back, "Don't cry, let the juniors see what it has become?" He turned back to everyone and smiled, "Okay, let's go back to each other!" ”

Some juniors knelt down and saluted, some called "uncle", and some called "uncle", all of them were called.

Jiang Shuncheng asked them to get up, laughed and joked.

Jiang Shunxin asked: "Is the eldest brother going back to Xiling Township or going back to the city?" Five years ago, we had a four-hall courtyard in the city. The insiders have ordered their subordinates to clean up and wait for the eldest brother to move in. ”

Jiang Shuncheng was thinking.

Yu Shi said: "Let's go back to the city first, wait for a few days, and then it's not too late to go back to the township." ”

Jiang Shunxin responded with a smile, waved his body, and moved in a sedan chair, got on the sedan chair first, and led everyone to the city.

Su Yan looked at Jinyang City curiously, but saw a stone plaque the size of a door panel hanging on the city gate, which was embedded in the city wall, and the word "Jinyang" was written on it.

Mama Tian smiled and said, "County Lord, the word 'Jinyang' was written by the ancestor of the Jiang family. ”

Su Yeon's heart sank, "Who?" The ancestor who married Pan's beautiful concubine? ”

Mama Tian nodded.

At that time, he was the only one who was famous in Jinyang.

Now, Jiang Shunxin has also become a model in the Jiang clan, but whenever there is a family to educate their children and grandchildren, they will take Jiang Shuncheng to talk about things, saying how he studied hard when he was a child, and how he glorified his ancestors later, and even the naughty trivial things of his childhood were also told as a good story since childhood. The children and descendants of the clan can say several things, some are true, and some are made up by the elders, with only one purpose, to encourage their children to improve.

Jinyang City under the rising sun is draped in a gorgeous glow, and the team surrounded by the Xiling Jiang clan is particularly eye-catching. As early as after Jiang Shuncheng left, Jiang Shunxin received a letter from home, knowing that he had returned to his hometown and province, and it spread all over the township for a while, and almost the people of Jinyang City knew the news of Jiang Shuncheng's return to his hometown.

Especially in the past few days, the Jiang family sent down the mountain every day to inquire, and yesterday they got the exact news, and they led the clansmen to wait at the intersection early in the morning.

Crossing the bustling street, there are many shops on both sides, wine flags are displayed, some shops have not yet opened, there are early shopkeepers with sleepy eyes to remove the wooden planks on the face of the door, see a line of jubilant people, surrounded by a carriage, the guards who follow the carriage are dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, riding a high-headed horse, looking at the rich or expensive.

After crossing two streets and turning into an alley, I didn't go far before I saw a mansion with a plaque of "Jiang House" hanging on it.

Jiang Shunxin's wife, Li, waited in front of the gate early, leading the maid's mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law to stand with a smile on her face. Because they didn't know where Jiang Shuncheng would live, the eldest daughter-in-law stayed at home in Xiling Township, so they went to the city to wait.

Jiang Shunxin got off the sedan chair and greeted: "Set off firecrackers!" ”

For a moment, the crackling sound was endless.

He approached the carriage with his second son, "Big brother, it's here!" ”

Jiang Chuanliang lifted the curtain of the carriage, Jiang Shuncheng walked out of the carriage and glanced at it, "Yes, this courtyard is also quiet." ”

Jiang Shunxin said with a smile: "I bought it five years ago, and occasionally my daughters-in-law will bring their grandchildren and granddaughters to live for a few days." ”

Bai Zhi ran all the way, because she was close to Jinyang, she had already changed into the female official uniform rewarded by the emperor, and in the eyes of the Jiang family, she looked envious, but she didn't know her identity, so she didn't dare to speak rashly, only to see her approaching the second carriage, and bowed and said: "Old lady, county lord, you can get off." ”

Mama Qing opened the curtain, and Mama Tian hugged Yu down.

After Yu Shi stood firm, he exhaled, "This old bone is about to be shaken apart. Scanning the surroundings, he looked a little unfamiliar, "Back then, our Yu family also lived in the south of Jinyang City. ”

A woman in a purple gown greeted her, bowed, called "Big Aunt", and supported Yu, "This is a mansion in the south of the city." It was the fallen Tang family who made it, and Weng's father bought it with money, and it was also renovated and two new courtyards were built, which were specially for the eldest uncle and aunt. ”

Bai Zhi helped Su Yan and smiled.

Su Yan was veiled, and her clothes were pink like the glow of the sun, which was a style and material that no one had ever seen, and the young women were dumbfounded, and the young men only felt that their eyes were shining, and they had never seen a woman dressed as a fairy, although she was veiled, she could not hide her natural beauty.

Some people began to talk in a low voice.

Mama Tian was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so she hurriedly said loudly: "This is the pearl of my family's old lord and old lady, the lord of Anxi County who was given the title by the emperor today, and the princess of the princess of the palace on her left shoulder, and the eldest lady of the scholarly generation." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they had already heard that Jiang Shuncheng had a daughter over forty years old, and he heard that he looked like a fairy, and he was also quite famous in the imperial city, and now he looks at it, it is really the case.

Those girls in the Jiang clan who are like flowers and jades were actually robbed of the limelight by her, and compared with her, it is really a difference between cloud and mud.

Mama Tian introduced Su Yan, and pointed to Jiang Chuanliang and said: "This is the second son of Wen Zhong's son, the son of the heirloom, and a famous talent in the imperial city. ”

Jiang Chuan was annoyed in his conscience, he had no reputation in the imperial city, and he actually said that he was a genius, but he couldn't argue with it, no one would beat anyone who praised him, even if it was an old slave who praised him.

Mama Tian pointed at Zhang Changxing and said, "Do you remember the eldest lady who went to the imperial city more than 20 years ago?" He is the eldest son of the eldest aunt's wife, surnamed Zhang, his name is Shangchang and Xiaxing, his father is the governor of Western Hebei, and he is also a second-class official. Now I'm studying with the old man to learn skills. ”

Someone whispered that it was a real honor.

The person who looks like a fairy is actually Jiang Shuncheng's daughter, because she heard that she is a young lady of the scholarly generation, she does not dare to criticize, and her generation and background are rare nobles.

Jiang Chuanliang spoke to Zhang Changxing in a low voice, pointed at Jiang Shun and said, "Did you see that?" That's your grandfather. ”

Zhang Changxing had a straight face, "My mother grew up in Wenzhong Mansion, I only know that you are my cousin, but I don't recognize them." ”

Jiang Chuanliang smiled.

The relationship has also been established since childhood, for Jiang Shunxin's family, Zhang Changxing has never seen it, how can he have feelings, he only feels very strange.

Following Su Yan, he entered a hall with a plaque of "Scholarly Door", chaise longues had been placed on both sides, and two rows of desks and embroidered pestles were gradually placed behind him.

Jiang Shuncheng and his wife were hugged by everyone and sat in the first seat, and Su Yan sat down closest to Yu's family. Opposite sat a pale-haired old woman, then Jiang Shunxin and his wife, and a few well-dressed men sat down, as if they had said yes in the morning, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a room full of people was seated.
