On May 17, the twentieth year of Emperor Jianwen of Southern Chu, on this day, the people of Southern Chu and Kyoto were all crazy, all put down the work they were doing, and poured into the streets, waiting on both sides of the road early, for a time there were crowds of people, thousands of empty alleys, and the emperor who had lived in the palace for a long time also led the prince and a group of ministers to wait outside the city gate early, just because Jiang Ao, the general of Southern Chu, returned to the court on this day and arrived outside the capital!

The sound of the iron hooves of the tall horses sounded in unison......

Step on! Step on! Step on!

The voice slowly amplified, like a landslide thundering, and the Southern Chu Emperor who was standing at the front outside the city gate wearing a bright yellow dragon robe slowly bloomed with a smile on his face, and he had been thinking about it for many years, but the forty-fifth emperor looked old, but in the end, he was in a high position and enjoyed the admiration of everyone, and his majesty was fully displayed.

I saw a burly middle-aged man riding a big horse in the distance, wearing copper-colored armor, a sword on his right waist, his head held high, his eyes were blazing, and he was full of murderous spirit, with a neat and uniform, equally majestic group of people and horses seemed to come with a strong aura.

Walking not far away, they all turned over and dismounted, clasped their hands into fists, and knelt on one foot. The loud voice came from the mountains: "The last general will see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

I saw the middle-aged man at the head of the team, although he was tired, he could see how handsome he was when he was young, as old as the emperor, but he was like a man in his early thirties, not angry but mighty.

Emperor Jianwen immediately walked forward quickly, helped up the middle-aged man at the head, and said at the same time: "Jiang Aiqing, please hurry up, you are my great hero of Nanchu." Then he looked ahead and said, "Everyone, please get up, okay, this is a good man in our Nanchu." He smiled and said to Jiang Ao: "Jiang Aiqing, you have successfully defeated Beifeng this time, you have made a great contribution, and I will reward you well after returning to the palace." ”

Jiang Ao looked humble and said respectfully: "It is the emperor who blesses me with the peace of Southern Chu, and I will not dare to do this work." ”

The emperor seemed to anticipate his temperament, and said with a smile: "You, you."

At this time, the prince walked up at a very timely time and said, "Father, the general must be very tired all the way, so it is better to go back to the palace first, and then have a good time with the general at the palace banquet." ”

The emperor suddenly came to his senses, and said to the prince: "The prince is still thoughtful," and then looked at Jiang Ao and said: "Aiqing, go back to the palace with me, and we will drink together as before." ”

Jiang Ao's lips moved, as if he had something to say, but finally fell silent again.

But a bright voice sounded behind him: "Your Majesty, the last general and his father have not returned home for two years, and I miss my mother and sisters very much, so I implore the emperor's brigadier general and father to return home to visit first, and also wash off the dust, and go to the palace banquet in good spirits at night." "It's a childish voice, but it's very beautiful.

Jiang Ao turned around and reprimanded in a low voice: "Shut up, how can you talk here!" Then he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, and said: "The last general has no way to teach his daughter, and I ask the emperor not to blame." ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at the person who spoke, but he could also guess that this was Jiang Lige, the eldest daughter of the general, only to see that this woman was dressed in a white robe, her face was immature and beautiful, and there was a hardness between her eyebrows that did not lose to a man.

There have long been rumors in the capital: The Jiang family has a female name and song, and she doesn't like red makeup and loves arms.

The teahouse often talks about it, and what it says is: Jiang Lige went to the border with his father at the age of six, went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and became a general of Zhengwupin at the age of thirteen, known as General Lige. It is said that General Lige is excellent in martial arts, there are few people in Southern Chu who can stand out, govern the army strictly, and he is even more brave on the battlefield and does not lose to men, now two years have passed, I don't know how much he will rise, if the general of Zhenbei is famous, then General Lige is the young general of Zhenbei.

Emperor Jianwen seemed to helplessly help Jiang Ao up, and sighed: "Jiang Aiqing, it's just that the child misses his mother, why scold the child, it's all to blame, I haven't seen you for two years, I miss Aiqing too much." Then Aiqing should go back to see her family first, nourish her spirits, and the state banquet must be to have a good time with Aiqing. ”

Jiang Ao stood up at this time and said movingly: "Thank you for the emperor's understanding." ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at Jiang Lige, and then said: "This is Lige, stand up and let Uncle Huang see, they are all so big, heroic, and they don't lose to men." Jiang Lige stood up.

Jiang Ao's eyes said lovingly: "It's indeed a little girl, but it's just a stubborn temperament." Although it seems to be scolding, the pride in his tone cannot be hidden.

Emperor Jianwen seemed to sigh: "Only Jiang Aiqing can raise such a good daughter, and women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows." ”

Jiang Ao sighed and said, "Where will the last general raise his daughter, it's just a training person in the military camp." ”

Emperor Jianwen said: "Why should Aiqing be modest? You and Suqin's children are naturally superb. Let's go, let's go back to the city! ”

After finishing speaking, they got into the chariot, and the group entered the city in a mighty way, and the people's cries came and went: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Emperor Jian'an was very happy to look at the groups of people kneeling in front of him, this is his people, living and working in peace and contentment, loving him very much, he is even better than his father.

The people ran around and cheered after saluting: "The general is back, and the god of war of Southern Chu is back!" ”

There are such rumors in the world: Jiang Ao in the south and Fenglin in the north. It is said that there is a god of war general Jiang Ao in Southern Chu, and there is a regent Fenglin in Beifeng, both of whom are like guardian gods. Maybe the rumors are wrong, but General Jiang Ao is probably like this in the hearts of the people of Southern Chu.

In the team, Jiang Lige's face was straight, but his lips moved slightly, and when he listened closely, he only heard Jiang Lige say to Lu Yuanyuan, who was in parallel: "Cheap Yuan, you say, why is my father so famous?" None of our good-looking sisters looked at us. ”

Lu Yuanyuan is the son of Lu Jianye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, since he was a child, he learned the art of war under his father's stick, and left Lu Shangshu to go to the border five years ago.

Lu Yuanyuan rolled his eyes seriously and said, "My good-looking sister looks at you, is it useful to see you?" and cannot be married. ”

Jiang Lige: "That handsome brother will always look at me, after all, this general is embarrassed to spend ...... moon in the moon."

didn't wait for Jiang Lige to finish his narcissism, Lu Yuanyuan took it: "Sinking fish and geese, graceful, handsome and chic, peerless beauty, and there is no one." I said cheap mud, do you want a face? As far as you look like a man or a woman, who looks at you? ”

Jiang Lige: "It's good that General Ben is also a figure of the year in Southern Chu, okay?" ”

Lu Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Cheap mud, just your name as a female evil god and a female devil, who dares to marry you in this world, I am afraid that my husband will be weak." It's better for the master to marry you, anyway, you don't want anyone, and the master just didn't marry. ”

Jiang Lige thought about the way Lu Yuanyuan was usually pressed to the ground by her, doubted himself for a moment, and said, "Let's beat General Ben first!" ”

Lu Yuanyuan: ......

Suddenly, the team stopped, it turned out to be a fork in the road, one went to the palace, the other led to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and there was another greeting, and when Jiang Lige was waiting for him to go crazy, the two teams finally separated.

Saying goodbye all the way, Lu Yuanyuan had already branched back to the Lu Mansion with them, and finally arrived at the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

Looking at the old and young waiting at the door, Jiang Ao and Jiang Lige's eyes turned red, Jiang Ao took Jiang Lige to the sixty-year-old Jiang Taijun, knelt down, and choked up: "A-Niang, my son is not filial, he can't serve the left and right, and A-Niang is always worried about her son." ”

Mrs. Jiang also cried uncontrollably, and said: "A-Niang knows, A-Niang understands......"

Mrs. Chen burst into tears, but she still held Mrs. Jiang steadily, seeing that the old man was crying uncontrollably, she held back the sadness in her heart and comforted: "A-Niang, let Fujun and Ge'er go into the mansion, let's go in and talk." ”

Mrs. Chen Suqin is the daughter of Chen Zhongzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and has been close to General Zhenbei for nearly 20 years. gave birth to three children to the general of Zhenbei, the eldest daughter Jiang Lige is just over fifteen years old this year, the second daughter Jiang Zijin will be twelve years old in two months, and the youngest son Jiang Qingchen, who is only eight years old this year, the couple has been getting together less and leaving more, but the relationship is very good, Jiang Ao did not accept concubines and the like. Back then, she was still the first beauty in the capital, and the people who proposed to the Chen family were about to break through the threshold. Mrs. Chen chose to be with Jiang Ao, who was just a small five-rank general at the time.

Jiang Lao Taijun remembered at this time, and even said: "Okay, good ......" Jiang Ao hurriedly got up and moved forward, the couple supported Jiang Lao Taijun left and right, and a group of people entered the house with red eyes.
