All the way, it was already early winter when Yang Xianrong arrived in Pingyang, and it was Liu Ling who was waiting outside the gate of Pingyang. What Yang Xianrong saw in the car was a pretty woman wrapped in a pink cloak, standing there on tiptoe, although she couldn't see her expression clearly, she could feel that she must be anxious. When the carriage got closer, Yang Xianrong saw it, Liu Ling didn't change much, and her face was still the smile she remembered.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Liu Ling greeted him, and as soon as he opened the curtain of the carriage, he said, "It's coming, I'm in a hurry." ”

Yang Xianrong put his hand on Liu Ling's hand and got out of the carriage with his strength. The two immediately embraced, and Yang Xianrong felt Liu Ling's ears red from cold, and said angrily: "What are you doing on such a cold day?" Just wait for me at home. ”

"How can that work?" Liu Ling said and took off the cloak on his body and wrapped it around Yang Xianrong's body, and said, "You are a nobleman, my sister-in-law, if I don't take care of you, I will be blamed when Brother Yao comes back." ”

"You're getting more and more annoying." Yang Xianrong glanced at Liu Ling.

Liu Ling smiled, pulled Yang Xianrong to sit in his carriage together, and said: "I will send you directly to Brother Yao's mansion, have a good rest today, and I will take you to see my fourth brother tomorrow." Liu Ling saw that Yang Xianrong's expression stiffened for a moment, and immediately understood her worries, and hurriedly patted her hand, and said: "You don't have to worry, you also know my fourth brother, he is not so serious, and he is also looking forward to your coming, after all, Brother Yao has no one around him for so many years, and he is not at ease as a brother." ”

Yang Xianrong nodded, now she can be regarded as officially leaving everything she is familiar with and devoting herself to a completely unfamiliar environment, even if she knows that the people here have no ill will towards her, she is still nervous, but fortunately, Liu Ling can accompany her.

"Sima Chi ......" Yang Xianrong wanted to ask the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty what the situation was now, but she felt a little abrupt, she chose Liu Yao to enter the Huns' house by default, but she still thought about the emperor of the previous dynasty, and it seemed that she should not be a little right.

"Well, eat well, sleep well, and be free." Liu Ling said with a big grin: "My father used to be a hostage in Luoyang, and the emperor of the Jin Dynasty did not treat him lightly, my fourth brother is grateful for the kindness of the Jin Dynasty, so he is also very good to Sima Chi, and does not restrict his access." But Sima Chi is also fun, my fourth brother called him, he went into the palace to talk to my brother, if he didn't call him, he would stay in the house all day long to drink and have fun, the door did not go out, the second door did not step, like a big girl of the Jin people. ”

He was the emperor before, and he was already disgraced when he was captured, no matter how big his heart was, no matter how greedy he was, but he was a man, he always had a good face, and he was so down, could it be that he still walked on the street for people to point and laugh at? Pingyang City used to be the place of the Jin Dynasty, and the people here were also under the rule of the Sima clan, but the Sima clan did not protect them, nor did they govern them well, but under the governance of the Huns, they lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were much happier.

Liu Ling noticed that Yang Xianrong was a little restrained, and knew that she was a little uneasy when she had just arrived here, so he didn't ask her what was wrong, but just lifted the curtain on the car and introduced her to the snacks and distinctive shops on the street one by one.

"See that over there? At that time, the largest restaurant in Pingyang City, there were wines from all over the world, I liked the plum wine in it the most, sweet and sour is not very good, I asked someone to buy some in my fourth brother's house yesterday, and we will taste it when we will eat. Liu Ling was very excited, and suddenly pointed to another shop, and said: "It's a bookstore, there are no serious books in it, but they are all very interesting, if you want to see which day I will take you to shop." And in front of it, turn inside," Liu Ling said pointedly: "There is a restaurant there, and the barbecued meat is particularly delicious, so we can also go." ”

Yang Xianrong looked at it one by one in the direction of Liu Ling's finger, it was not more prosperous than Luoyang City, the layout of the house was not regular, it looked messy and disorderly, there were various stalls on both sides of the road, a bit like the former West Market of Luoyang City, but the things sold here were more worthless gadgets. But compared to Luoyang City, there are a lot of people here, everyone has a shallow smile on their faces, if you see someone you know, you will salute each other, and say a few words, such a scene is quite a bit of Luoyang's appearance before, lively and calm.

"The people of Binh Duong are living well." Yang Xianrong said.

"Isn't that?" Liu Ling was a little proud, she had also walked outside when she was still in Luoyang a few years ago, Luoyang had already declined at that time, the streets were empty, and occasionally there were a few scrawny corpses on the side of the road that smelled, and it was no longer the Luoyang City they were in when they were children. She looked back at Yang Xianrong, only to see that her face was pale and she couldn't see joy and anger, so she said: "The Han Dynasty destroyed the Great Jin, you will definitely not be comfortable in your heart, but if you look outside, isn't what the people want to live and work in peace and contentment?" Whoever can make them live a good life, they will support whomever they want, obviously, Dahan is doing much better than Dajin, isn't it? ”

Yang Xianrong had already seen it, the fall of the Jin Dynasty was inevitable, she just felt a little ironic, back then, everyone in the world was scolding Jia Nanfeng for being cruel, she also had a bad feeling for that woman, and even when she was young, she hated her because Jia Nanfeng was not good to Sima Shu, and she also secretly scolded her. But in fact, in the years when she was in power, the Jin Dynasty was the most glorious time, the political situation was stable, and the people were rich. After that, the auxiliary kings came and went, but no one did as well as her, and let the Jin Dynasty fall into danger step by step.

"You know what?" Yang Xianrong said: "When I started to intervene in the court, I became cold-blooded, and I was worried that I would become a person like Jia Nanfeng, and I would do anything for power, but until now, I suddenly reacted, I can't become like her at all, I don't have the ability to govern a world." Yang Xianrong smiled and said: "You are right, this world should not look at who is governing at all, it is a man or a woman, a Han or a Huns, as long as the people live a good life, it is the chosen one." ”

Pingyang City is not big, the so-called palace is also a small courtyard, there are not many people in the house, there are a few male servants in the front yard who are sprinkling and sweeping, seeing that someone is coming, he looked at Yang Xianrong curiously and hurriedly saluted Liu Lingxing. Liu Ling pulled Yang Xianrong and continued to walk inside, and through a small door, he saw two seven or eight-year-old boys standing in the courtyard, both shirtless and naked, gesturing with fists and feet, and looking good.

Yang Xianrong recognized Sima Lin at a glance, after all, when they separated, Sima Lin had grown up, so presumably the other boy was Liu Jian, Yang Xianrong looked carefully, this child looked like his mother when he was a child, and now he is more like Liu Yao, especially that charm, which is exactly the same as when Yang Xianrong first saw Liu Yao when he was a child.

The two boys heard the movement and looked at them one after another, and after seeing Liu Ling, the two of them called "mother" and "little aunt" at the same time, and then looked at the sheep on the side, and both of them were cramped again.

Liu Ling smiled, pulled one with one hand, and asked, "Do you still know her?" ”

Liu Lin shook his head, but Liu Jian nodded, and shouted a little shyly: "A-Niang." ”

Yang Xianrong was instantly moved by this "mother" and her eyes were red, she hadn't heard this title for a long, long time, who would have thought that many years later, the person who called her "mother" again was not Nian'er, but Liu Jian. Yang Xianrong walked quickly to Liu Jian's side, took him in his arms, and asked, "Jian'er still remembers her mother?" ”

Liu Jian was stiff, since he was older, no one had hugged him like this, he was still a somewhat strange woman, he didn't remember her, but there was a portrait of her in his father's study, and his father often told him about his mother's parents, sometimes it was his mother's affairs, but more often it was this stepmother, because his stepmother had taken him for a long time. Just today, when my aunt sent my younger brother over, she specially instructed him that when he saw the woman in the painting, he must take the initiative to call her mother, because she would be very scared when she first arrived here, and we should reassure her.

Yang Xianrong let go of Liu Jian, touched his face, looked at his smooth body again, looked at Liu Lin again, and asked in surprise: "Isn't this cold?" We don't use it when we wear it so thick. ”

"It's not cold." Liu Lin replied: "We practice kung fu and sweat, my uncles said that they were like this when they were young, we want to be big heroes like our uncles, not afraid of the cold." ”

Liu Ling patted his son's head with a smile and said, "You can bear it." ”

After that, let the two little ones continue to practice, and she pulled the sheep into the house, where the stove had been raised, which was completely different from the cold outside. Yang Xianrong took off the cloak that Liu Ling had given her, and said, "Now it seems that I know why the army of the Jin Dynasty is not the opponent of the Han army at all. ”

Liu Ling smiled and asked, "Liu Jian and Liu Lin have changed?" ”

"Liu Lin?" Yang Xianfang asked sullenly, she didn't know the fact that Sima Lin had changed his surname.

Liu Ling nodded: "If this surname is not changed, it can't be done, in the end, it is in Pingyang, what do people think of him going out with the national surname of the Jin Dynasty?" However, when he is older, I will tell him the truth, and it is up to him to choose. ”

"What do you choose?" Yang Xianrong shook his head: "When he is older, he has no choice." ”

As soon as Chang'an is broken, where in this world will there be the Jin Dynasty?

Liu Ling shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can't lie to him, I'm not worried that he won't accept it, but ......" She paused: "That's it, let's talk about it later." ”

"Yes." Only then did Yang Xianrong remember to answer the question that Liu Ling had just raised, and said, "These two boys have changed, they are both big children. After that, he looked outside the house, and in the courtyard, the two children were still fighting vigorously, and the next generation had grown up.
