Out of Shanhaiguan, the scenery began to change significantly.
In the wilderness, among the fields, on the banks of small rivers, although there are still many places overgrown with wild grass, and many places are full of old age, there are no traces left by the war.
On the official road, there are still a lot of retired soldiers from various departments, but when Xu Changqing went out of Shanhaiguan, Li Shizhong gave another 500 war horses, so that the team of more than 500 people already has more than 1,300 war horses, and more than two war horses per person.
In addition, the ladies can also ride horses, so they can completely avoid taking the official road.
Xu Changqing originally wanted to go to the famous scenic spot of 'A Piece of Stone' to take a look, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
There are some things that don't need to be too deliberate.
It's already a whole new world, so why bother yourself?
After Funing, when I arrived in Yongping Mansion, the smell of fireworks gradually increased.
However, the withdrawal of the army made the common people very vigilant and always kept a distance from the army.
Only when passing by a few bazaars can you encounter real fireworks.
took a few girls to visit a few small markets, and the girls' moods began to become brighter, and Li Youwei's mood gradually improved.
At this time, she also realized the deep meaning of her old father Li Shizhong, and she~, has become the sustenance of the entire Li family.
Even though she didn't like this feeling, she understood that she had no choice......
In this way, after walking comfortably for almost ten days, Xu Changqing and his party arrived at Xujiazhuang on the outskirts of Santunying.
At this time, Xu Changqing's great achievements had already spread all over the world, and Xujiazhuang naturally learned of Xu Changqing's world-beating achievements, which was a complete sensation.
Not only did all the members of Xujiazhuang come out, but the villagers from the surrounding ten miles and eight towns came, and even Santun Camp had many people come to see the excitement.
Just to see the true face of Xu Changqing, who is famous all over the world and bravely crowns the three armies.
"Brother Evergreen, it's Brother Evergreen!"
"Haha, I know that Changqing, a stinky boy, is a natural general, and he deserves to be the seed of the general!"
"Brother Changqing, I'm an iron egg, I also want to follow you to fight Tartar!"
"It's worthy of Xu Ye, it's really a dragon spirit and a fierce tiger!"
"Master Xu, what a good man!"
"Master Xu, you are the pride of our Jizhen people......"
“……”
There were too many crowds, stretching for miles, and there was no end in sight, and when I saw Xu Changqing coming over on a tall horse, I suddenly boiled.
Xu Changqing actually didn't have any concept of Santun Camp, including Xujiazhuang, but at this time, looking at the excited crowd, especially the familiarity in the blood, Xu Changqing quickly adapted to it, and frequently waved to everyone.
"Young master, you're finally back, Madame has been waiting for you for a long time."
At this time, Yang Zhongliang, the chief housekeeper of the Xu family, hurriedly greeted him, and his old face was already smiling.
He is Xu Changqing's mother, a member of the Yang clan, and he has watched Xu Changqing grow up since he was a child.
Not to mention the profound heritage of the Xu family, for the Yang family, this is simply the green smoke on the ancestral grave.
How could Yang Zhongliang not be excited?
It is even more indescribable and honorable.
"Yo, Uncle Liang, why did you come here in person? It's really a pain in the little nephew. ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and bowed deeply to Yang Zhongliang.
This old man who looks honest and has a face full of wind and frost ravines is definitely the first hero of the Xu family!
Back then, after Xu Changqing's father Xu Huchen died in battle, it was precisely because of his support at any cost that Xu Changqing's mother Yang gradually stabilized the overall situation and preserved the Xu family's family business.
And over the years, the reason why the Xu family has developed to this scale and become a strong party is that he has also contributed a lot, and he is naturally an important candidate that Xu Changqing needs to take care of.
Looking at Xu Changqing's gift, Yang Zhongliang was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Young master, this, this can't be done." You're going to torment my old man. ”
Xu Changqing laughed: "Uncle Liang, you can't stand the gift of your little nephew, how many people can bear it?" Tonight, don't say anything, if we don't have a good drink, this matter won't be over! ”
Yang Zhongliang was stunned for a moment.
The previous young master would never dare to make such a joke with him.
But when he thought about it, Yang Zhongliang also came back to his senses, how could the current young master be comparable to before?
The current young master, who is the first general of the world-shaking and brave three armies, has already been polished on the battlefield.
After a group of greetings, several of the Xu family's hard-working old housekeepers greeted Xu Changqing one after another, and Xu Changqing also came to a woman in silk clothes who had been looking forward to it for a long time not far away, and her temperament was slightly cold, and she had obviously passed through the well-dressed woman today.
As soon as she saw Xu Changqing looking over, the woman's eyes were red, and tears were already rolling, it was Xu Changqing's mother Yang!
"Plop!"
Xu Changqing lifted the official robe in front of him, knelt on the ground, knocked his head a few times, and the instinct from the depths of his consciousness had already made his eyes sour: "Mother, the unfilial son Changqing is back!" ”
"My son!"
Yang finally couldn't help it, crying out with a 'wow', and rushed forward desperately, hugging Xu Changqing to death, and not letting go, as if she let go slightly, her precious son, the only sustenance in her life, was to disappear.
Seeing the mother and mother hugging and crying, many people around couldn't help but wipe their eyes.
That's what life is.
is like the famous saying of the sages: "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, how many people have come back to fight in ancient times?" ”
This kind of thing, once a person goes out, it is very likely that it will be a farewell to heaven and man!
Not far away, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, and the daughters in the carriage, although they didn't get out of the carriage, they were already full of tears.
After venting for a long time, Xu Changqing also came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly wiped away his tears, helped Yang up with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, today is a good thing, we can't cry anymore." By the way, mother, have you seen that in the carriage, my son also brought back several daughters-in-law with you. ”
The Yang family also came back to their senses at this time, naturally knowing a lot of things about Xu Changqing in Liaodi, including Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, Xian'er, including Mei Yan and Peony Daughters, but they gave Xu Changqing a white look angrily: "You bastard, you didn't bully others, right?" ”
"Hey, hey."
"Of course not. Mother, this is not the place to talk, why don't we go home first, and I can introduce you to a few daughters-in-law? ”
Xu Changqing said cleverly.
Although Yang's face was pretending to be fierce, the smile between his eyebrows and eyes could no longer be hidden, he took a sip of Xu Changqing, and hurriedly whispered: "Stinky boy, you can't care if you find a few daughters-in-law for your mother, but you can't care about the first snow!" ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly looked at a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl not far away, who was looking at this side, very delicate, but obviously with a cold temperament.
When the girl looked at Xu Changqing, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she wanted to be as fierce as she used to be, and asked Xu Changqing to get out, but after a while, she was defeated, and she hung her head shyly, not daring to face Xu Changqing again.
This girl is Xu Changqing's 'sister' and Yang's adopted daughter Chu Xue.
However, Chuxue is not called 'Xu Chuxue', but 'Yang Chuxue', which is actually Xu Changqing's child daughter-in-law.
The Yang family has always wanted a daughter before, but unfortunately, Xu Changqing's father Xu Huchen died early, and even the body was not transported back, and it was impossible for the Yang family to remarry, so he adopted the daughter of a large family from the capital and grew up with Xu Changqing.
I don't know what happened to the eight-character offense, Chu Xue and Xu Changqing have never dealt with each other, but the Yang family has always let it go.
Perhaps, elders like the Yang family thought that Chu Xue's temperament would be able to control Xu Changqing in the future, so that Xu Changqing would not be a loser.
But now, there are many things that the Yang family can't control.
At this time, seeing Chu Xue blushing and lowering her head, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel a little indescribable in her heart.
No wonder someone later said: "Poverty limits your imagination, and you should never imagine the life of the rich." ”
This kind of family, even if it is just a dilapidated family, the benefits are far from what ordinary people can imagine.
……
Xu Changqing's return to his hometown is not only a big deal for the Xu family and Xujiazhuang, but also a big deal for many villagers in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships.
Therefore, in the past few days, it is certain that the Xu family will have a flowing water banquet.
As the famous saying of the overlord of Western Chu: "If you are rich and noble, you should be like a brocade at night!" ”
You are developed, but you don't give some benefits to the villagers, so do you still have a conscience? Conscience let the dog eat?
Although this is a bit of bandit logic, it is an ancient Chinese national condition, and Xu Changqing doesn't seem to care about this bit of silver at this time.
To a large extent, it is also a good opportunity to expand your reputation and put down roots in the township.
The Yang family was originally going to set up a hundred tables of flowing water for three days in a row.
But Xu Changqing is not short of this bit of silver at this time, mainly because the flowing water seats in the township are cheap, less than one or two are already very good, plus wine, it is just a little bit in the first two days, so he simply opened three hundred tables directly for ten days!
The Yang family was a little reluctant, but soon figured it out, the current Xu family is not short of this bit of silver, as long as it can bring the reputation of Xu Changqing and the Xu family, this silver will definitely not be lost.
In the main hall of the Xu family, Xu Changqing also began to introduce Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and the daughters of the Yang family.
Next to it, Chu Xue, who was already a little unsightly, turned even whiter for a while.
This little leather monkey that she has always looked down on, now, not only has grown into a man, but has also become a heaven and earth existence, even this kind of wealthy daughter is married, and she is no longer in front of him, not only does she no longer have any superiority, but she can't catch up with him......
The Yang family was originally full of affection for Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, after all, they were much taller than the Xu family's daughter.
At this time, I saw Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and the three daughters of Xian'er, all of whom were more beautiful than Huajiao, each more beautiful than the other, competing for beauty, and couldn't close their mouths with a smile for a while.
And Li Youwei's three daughters must be in the best shape when they meet their future mother-in-law for the first time.
Soon, the entire hall was filled with the laughter of Yingying Yanyan.
Only the first snow, for a while, a little alone.
At this time, Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei had already finished giving tea to the Yang family, and Xu Changqing smiled: "Stinky girl, what are you doing stupidly?" Why don't you come over for a tea ceremony? ”
"Huh?"
Chu Xue was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did she react, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she was busy looking at Yang.
Yang couldn't help but be even happier, "Chuxue, your brother asked you to come over for tea, then come over." ”
"Yes, mother."
Chu Xue got up shyly, not daring to face Xu Changqing, nor to face Li Youwei's three daughters, Yingying came over to give the Yang family tea.
Next to her, Li Youwei's three daughters' expressions also showed some subtle changes.
Who would have thought that Xu Changqing, this guy, would actually raise such a delicate beauty at home!
However, they soon became discouraged.
No way.
This is a patriarchal society!
Even if they are big women, they can't stop this kind of thing at all, let alone mention, this is obviously the preparation of the future mother-in-law.
After the journey was tiring, after the tea, a maid brought sweet pastries, so that the girls could rest first, get acquainted with it, and wait for the next dinner.
Xu Changqing accompanied the Yang family to the study.
It's been so long, and the two have countless things to say.
