The wind is blowing, the sky is dark, it's terrible...

~~~

"Brother Hengjiu, congratulations on your triumphant return!"

"Brother Hengjiu, I haven't seen you for many days, and your demeanor is even more prosperous."

"Haha, Brother Hengjiu, the last time we met, was three years ago, right?"

"Brother Heng Jiu......"

With the arrival of Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui and his party, a group of bigwigs who had been waiting here for a long time instantly surrounded them.

Hong Chengchou, who was riding a sturdy black horse, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, smiling and greeting everyone one by one, but in his eyes, tears had already flashed uncontrollably.

In fact, Hong Chengchou arrived in Tongzhou at noon yesterday, and Wu Sangui came earlier, the day before yesterday, but for the sake of this process, it is natural to give Jingli time to prepare.

Even if Hong Chengchou had already thought about it a lot during this time, he expected that he would definitely encounter this kind of scene after entering Beijing, and he was prepared, however, when this moment came, thousands of prosperity bloomed in an instant, and Hong Chengchou's city government was really a little uncontrollable for a while.

Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family.

After reading books for so many years and mixing with officialdom for so many years, what is it for? Isn't it just for this moment?!!!!

Cool!

It's so cool!

"Hongdu is mighty!"

"Hong Du, you are the hero of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Hongdu, I'm kowtowing to you......"

As Hong Chengchou finished greeting with a group of important ministers and nobles, not far away, the representatives of the people who had been waiting for a long time finally spoke out.

Soon, there was a dry old man in the crowd, who looked like a toiling public, supported by his son and grandson, with a bowl of wine, trembling and coming here, "Hongdu, please drink this bowl of wine!" Thank you to the whole family of the old Han Dynasty! ”

Listening to the old man's familiar Liaodong accent, Hong Chengchou couldn't control it anymore, tears came out of his eyes, took the wine bowl, and nodded to the old man: "Uncle, thank you!" ”

As he spoke, Hong Chengchou put the wine bowl to his mouth, raised his neck, and drank the bowl of spirits directly.

"Good!"

"Hongdu is mighty!"

"Hongdu is mighty!!"

Soon, the surroundings have turned into a sea of joy.

Hong Chengchou was in tears, waving to everyone frequently, only to feel that he had never been so happy in this life as he was at this time, and he had reached the highest highlight of his life.

And although Xu Changqing, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu and others were not far from Hong Chengchou, at this time, Xu Changqing and others had no chance to speak at all.

"Obediently, big husband, when it is! When Lao Tzu returns to Datong, he has to do the same. ”

Beside him, Wang Pu suddenly muttered quietly.

Xu Changqing also came back to his senses and looked at Lao Cao, Yang Guozhu and the others, and sure enough, everyone was almost the same, and their eyes were full of envy that could not be concealed.

The corners of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but smile.

Formalism is indeed a waste of money and labor, but I have to say that if this kind of thing is used well, it is definitely a sharp weapon!

Daming, it's not that there are no talents, it's a pity that there are too many talents and talents, and these people are not used in the right place at all.

……

The welcome ceremony outside the Guangqu Gate has been carried out for half an hour, and the scene has been set up, and a group of people are waiting for this to be like the stars holding the moon, holding Hong Chengchou into the city.

Xu Changqing also knew at this time that in the welcome building in Chongwen Gate, the imperial court had prepared a grand reception banquet for Hong Chengchou.

However, this banquet is estimated to be in the evening, and Hong Chengchou should enter the palace immediately to face the saint.

The ceremonies outside the city may be the official guide, but after entering the city, there are still hundreds of people waiting on the side of the road, just to see Hong Chengchou's true face, which is even more fanatical than those fans in later generations who see stars.

And Xu Changqing didn't enjoy this atmosphere when he first entered Beijing.

Xu Changqing quickly came back to his senses.

The ass decides the head.

In the final analysis, his identity as Xu Changqing is still not enough, and he is not a literati, so he naturally has to be dealt with in a low-key manner.

The team of people Ma Haohao came to the welcome building, just as Xu Changqing had guessed before, the holy decree was already waiting here, Hong Chengchou simply bathed and changed clothes, and then went directly into the palace to face the saint.

Xu Changqing and the others were fine at this time, and they came to the exquisite courtyards to rest in twos and threes, where they could drink some wine and eat some side dishes.

Those bigwigs are the same.

You must know that they are still in the court this morning, and they must be more tired than Xu Changqing.

And through the slightly cryptic chat in the crowd just now, Xu Changqing also analyzed a thing, if it is a formal procedure, tonight's dinner should be the official venue of the imperial court, but the bottom behind this welcome building is very deep, and the facilities are better, so everyone is more willing to come here.

Every man has his own circle.

Not long after, Xu Changqing came to a small courtyard with Lao Cao, Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Li Fuming and others.

As for Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and the like, even if they bought the head from Xu Changqing and could get away with it, they didn't really make any merits, and the court might appease them later, but they didn't want to come to the capital, this scene has already been lost.

Came to sit down in this exquisite courtyard, looking at the imposing Cao Bianjiao, Xu Changqing wanted to avoid it, and hurriedly smiled and poured a glass of wine for Lao Cao: "Uncle Cao, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss it very much." Let's go first? ”

However, Xu Changqing drank with a smile, but Lao Cao didn't mean to move the wine glass, he glanced at Xu Changqing, and got up to leave.

Seeing Lao Cao's domineering appearance, next to him, Wang Pu couldn't stop laughing, and couldn't hide his schadenfreude.

Although the two beauties are good, this consequence is by no means bearable by ordinary people.

Xu Changqing didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Pu, and walked quickly with Lao Cao.

When he came to the back garden of the small courtyard, Lao Cao glared at Xu Changqing with hatred and steel, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you a little rabbit cub usually quite clever?" Yes? Why are you so impulsive when you arrive in Kyori? Do you know that Lao Tzu almost scared you to death! Who do you expect to save you? Yes? and the Li family and the Wu family are about to become, what do you let them think? ”

Although Lao Cao was aggressive, and the spit stars were about to be sprayed on Xu Changqing's face, Xu Changqing was not angry, and he kept laughing and admitting his mistakes, only feeling warm in his heart.

Even though Lao Cao's political vision is not very good, and he still does not understand the deep meaning of his 'self-defilement', this kind of concern is by no means a hypocrisy.

If there is still a person in this world who can let Xu Changqing give him his back, it is undoubtedly the veteran ruffian in front of him.

scolded Xu Changqing and squirted, Lao Cao also lost a lot of anger, and said a little weakly: "You little rabbit cub has hard wings now, and Lao Tzu can't control it, but Lao Tzu has to warn you, in the future, you have to think twice about what you do!" This officialdom is more dangerous than the battlefield! ”

Looking at Lao Cao's heart-wrenching words, Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and gave Lao Cao a thumbs up: "Uncle Cao, what you said is too right. In this matter, the little nephew must be distracted and strive for no next time. ”

"Do you want to go back to another time?"

"No, no, Uncle Cao, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."

"Okay, don't fucking pretend to be pitiful with Lao Tzu, it's later, don't make any mistakes at the banquet."

"Uncle Cao, just put your heart in your stomach, I promise, just eat, drink, and watch, and never say anything."

……

After dissipating Lao Cao's anger, Xu Changqing also relaxed a lot, just wanted to take a closer look at this exquisite garden to see what he could learn from, and then went to Shandong, and did the same himself.

At this time, Wang Pu suddenly hurriedly chased after him, sweat on his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Brother, this is really a ghost." Someone from the Dingguo Mansion has come and wants you to go over and see him. ”

Xu Changqing couldn't help frowning.

Really.

Dingguo Gong Xu Yunzhen is here today, sure enough, those who come are not good, and those who are good are not there!

"Big brother, it's okay, at the feet of this heavenly son, can our grandfather still eat me?"

Xu Changqing smiled and hugged Wang Pu's shoulder, "Big brother, I'll come when I go." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Pu wanted to say something, but Xu Changqing had already left quickly.

Wang Pu came back to his senses after a while, and hurriedly went over to greet Lao Cao to discuss.

Although this guy is full of problems, when it comes to standing in line, he is still unambiguous, which is also his biggest advantage.

Xu Changqing came to the front yard, and there were already servants from the Dingguo Mansion waiting here.

These servants didn't dare to take Xu Changqing seriously, and the first housekeeper in his forties, clean and calm, said with a smile: "Young Master Changqing, my grandfather has admired your name for a long time, but unfortunately he has been busy with affairs, and he didn't have the opportunity to see you until today, you see?" ”

Xu Changqing smiled when he heard the title of the housekeeper: "Okay, lead the way." ”

"Okay."

Out of this small courtyard, a few corridors that went around and around, the housekeeper led Xu Changqing to a deeper, more secluded, and elegant courtyard.

Under the green vines inside, there is a delicate stone table, and a middle-aged man in a purple robe is drinking tea slowly and methodically, it is Xu Yunzhen, the prince of Dingguo of this generation!

Behind him, there was a familiar young man in white standing respectfully aside, it was the 'fourth master' Xu Shengyuan, who had a relationship with Xu Changqing.

Seeing Xu Changqing coming, Xu Yunzhen's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak in a hurry, just looked at Xu Changqing with a faint smile.

Next to Xu Changqing, the housekeeper was already sweating a little, and hurriedly whispered: "Young Master Changqing, hurry, hurry up and salute." This is our grandfather. ”

Xu Changqing smiled, did not kneel on the ground, only clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "Humble Xu Changqing, I have seen Grandpa Guo." ”

Xu Yunzhen's originally calm complexion has changed!

What do you mean?

This kid who has split up his family, he didn't give a big gift when he saw him?

Xu Shengyuan also looked at Xu Changqing with some shock, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, Xu Changqing's strong majesty yesterday was still shrouding him.

I secretly said in my heart: 'This kid is also awesome, what is this trying to do?' ’

The housekeeper's old face was pale, and he didn't know how to deal with himself.

Xu Yunzhen also came back to his senses at this time, and his displeasure was already on his face, but after all, he was the Duke of Dingguo, and he still had some city governments, and said with a smile of three points of coldness: "General Xu, you seem to be a little young and vigorous." It's not a good thing that young people are too sharp! ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "What does Grandpa Guo mean?" But is there anything inappropriate about the lowly office? ”

“……”

Xu Yunzhen was directly choked.

This little bastard is really a bun from the countryside, and he doesn't even understand his most basic etiquette, so he is busy making a look at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was about to cry, so he hurriedly came to Xu Changqing's side, and hurriedly whispered: "Young Master Changqing, this is our grandfather, and he is also the head of our Xu family." You, you are a family, you have to kneel and bow upright......"

"Kneeling?"

Xu Changqing fell into thought.

Seeing that Xu Changqing seemed to be on the road, Xu Yunzhen and Xu Shengyuan both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this is a dirt bun and doesn't understand the rules at all.

However, just when Xu Yunzhen was already waiting for Xu Changqing to kneel down again, he used his majesty to suppress Xu Changqing first.

Xu Changqing suddenly hugged his fist again, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is above, please accept the worship of the younger brother!" ”

"Big, big brother?"

At this time, Xu Shengyuan finally couldn't help it, and looked at Xu Changqing as if he was looking at an alien.

This dirt bun actually shouted ......'big brother' just now?

Who is this shouting?

Xu Yunzhen was also confused, and her face was already gloomy and about to drip water.

He just wanted to speak, but Xu Changqing was already looking at him with a smile and said, "Big brother, you are from the Yunzi generation, right?" Although my younger brother's name is Changqing, I am also a Yunzi generation. The main reason is that when I was a child, I was a little weak and sickly, and my father was afraid that I would not live long, so he gave me this name. Otherwise, I should be called Xu Yunqing. ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Xu Yunzhen, Xu Shengyuan, housekeeper, speechless.
