Chapter 19: Reunion

At the beginning of May, the weather in the south began to become a little humid and hot, Jiang Shanyi, who was accustomed to the northern climate, always felt that the air was wet, and Jiang Shanyi, who was a little obese, paced back and forth impatiently, and the sweat on his forehead could not be wiped off.

At this time, it was noon, the gray bricks on the city wall were hot in the red sun, the doors and windows in the tower on the tall city wall were open, and fortunately, some breeze blew through the city tower, which made Jiang Shanyi feel a little cool, otherwise Jiang Shanyi, who was already sweating, would have to take off his clothes and wait here shirtless.

Received news from Tao Kan in advance that Jiang Ge did not cross the river in Jianping, but followed Tao Fan, the ninth son of Tao Kan, down the river through Nanjun of Yidu County to Panhuan in Wuchang County for a few days. Jiang Ge and Tao Fan get along well, as a native of Jingzhou, Tao Fan is very good at a landlord's friendship, led Jiang Ge in the naval camp for a walk, Tao Kan's third son Tao Zhan, the fifth son Tao Xia heard that Jiang Ge's experience of returning to the south wanted to test martial arts, but Tao Zhan Tao Xia did not last until twenty rounds were defeated by Jiang Ge, and then the four lieutenants of the navy who had great achievements were defeated in Jiang Singer whether they were fists and feet or weapons, and finally Tao Fan was a brother after drinking a meal. Since then, Jiang Ge is known in the Wuchang Navy as the first fierce man in single combat power.

Later, Tao Kan met Jiang Ge in person and asked about the details and experiences of the experience and several enemies along the way, and Jiang Ge answered in detail one by one without hiding half a point. After listening to the complete experience dictated by the parties, even the battle-hardened Tao Kan gave a thumbs up and praised Jiang Ge fiercely. Tao Kan loves talents, and proposes that Jiang Ge be appointed as a captain in the infantry army under his command, leading a standard of 500 soldiers. For Jiang Ge, who had just returned to the south, everything was undecided in his heart, and he didn't think about whether to join the army, so he euphemistically said that he needed to meet his father and the elders in the clan before he dared to reply to General Tao. Tao Kan Aicai said that the position was reserved for Jiang Ge, and he went home to discuss it, and if he intended to join the army, he would come to Wuchang County to find Tao generously. Later, Tao Fan took Jiang Ge to play near Wuchang City for a few days, Fu Bo basically recovered, and after Bai Yu of the Bai family was also unhindered, Jiang Ge and Fu Bo set foot on the road back to Wuling, while Bai Yu went to Jinling alone.

Jiang Shan on the city tower was a little impetuous and couldn't wait, according to the news, Jiang Ge and Fu Bo would arrive in Linyuan City today, but they didn't know the specific time. So early in the morning, Jiang Shanyi waited in the tower on the city wall of the east gate of Linyuan City, and kept looking at the pedestrians, cars and horses coming and going on the official road in the east, for fear of missing something.

As the days went west, the servants around Jiang Shanyi were so sleepy that they wanted to sleep directly on the ground, but Jiang Shanyi still walked back and forth without showing a trace of fatigue.

Since the year before last Chinese New Year's Eve Jiang Shanyi spent time with Jiang Ge in Chang'an, he has not met, he was coerced by the king of the East China Sea, and almost died when he fled eastward, and at the same time the Central Plains sank, leaving Chang'an alone in the north, and his only son was trapped in Chang'an City at that time, and he didn't have time to escape. The siege of Chang'an City for more than half a year has reached the point of cannibalism and hunger, and the hard-working child was forced to go to the city to guard for three days and three nights, and finally was seriously injured and went down to the city, the Bai family did not know what means to rescue Jiang Ge during the war, and then recuperated for half a year, and the injury just embarked on the thousand-mile journey back to the south. Both journeys are basically hovering on the edge of life and death. As soon as he thought of being chased and killed by the Huns and assassinated by the Qiang people one after another, Jiang Shanyi was extremely irritable in his heart, and his anger burned, and he wanted to slaughter all the Hu people, but in a blink of an eye, he became miserable and guilty, and his motherless child suffered a lot of undeserved suffering. This father really didn't do his duty. After learning that Jiang Ge was safely on the navy's warship, the boulder in Jiang Shanyi's heart was slightly lowered. In the past few days that Jiang Ge has been resting in Wuchang, Jiang Shanyi's heart has been crawling like countless ants crawling over every day, and his heart is uncomfortable. I couldn't wait to fly over immediately, and under Jiang Shanzhong's persuasion, I didn't take anyone to meet him on the road, but just sent more than 20 servants to wait in the Wuli Realm that entered the boundary of Wuling County, and once I picked up someone, I quickly came back to deliver the message.

Just when Jiang Shanyi was anxiously waiting, two fast horses galloped from a distance, and the servant had a Jiang letter flag on his body, and he could see from a distance that it was the messenger of the Jiang family. It's just that the ride next to it is really not very clear. Jiang Shanyi didn't think much about it, and hurriedly got off the city tower and stood at the gate of the city waiting for the arrival of the messenger.

In the blink of an eye, a horse next to the messenger accelerated forward, leaving the messenger behind, and when he reached the gate of the city, the man on the horse grabbed the red horse under his crotch and slowed down, and then jumped lightly and fell to the ground. A sturdy young man half a head taller than Jiang Shanyi, dressed in cyan clothes, combed in a neat bun, with a strand of black hair hanging straight on his chest on each sideburn, his skin is a little dark but very healthy, his facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, and he looks handsome and resolute. The handsome young man had tears in his eyes at this time, but he showed his white and neat teeth, and he smiled very happily.

Jiang Shanyi looked at it carefully for a long time before he said in a trembling voice: "But my song? ”

"Yes, father."

"Is it really my song?"

"Really."

Jiang Shanyi quickly walked forward in front of Jiang Ge, his hands trembling and holding on Jiang Ge's arms, still staring intently at the sunny and handsome young man in front of him, and the old tears could no longer stop coming out of his eyes.

Jiang Shanyi's voice trembled and said, "Ge'er has grown up, and when she grows up, she is taller than her father, and her body is strong." ”

"Hehe" Jiang Ge just smiled stupidly, letting Jiang Shanyi touch his body and look left and right.

Jiang Shanyi touched his eyes that were almost covered by tears, and said softly: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, let's go, go home." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Ge snorted and was dragged by Jiang Shanyi towards the city.

The passers-by gathered at the gate of the city reacted that it was the young master of the Jiang family who had returned, and the pedestrians along the road passed ten to the hundred, and they all hugged their fists and said hello to Jiang Shanyi, Jiang Ge and his son. I heard many people praise the young master for his handsomeness and might, his majestic weapon, and his young hero. Jiang Shanyi was extremely satisfied in his heart, but he just took Jiang Ge's hand and refused to let go, but just signaled to everyone with one hand.

Linyuan City belongs to the medium city, there are 20,000 households living in the city, the planning is very neat, there are five bluestone streets in the north and south, the two main streets that run through the east and west, the north and south can be paralleled by four cars, the street side wine shop is neat and tidy, and the people come and go well and are not lively. In particular, the central intersection at the intersection of the north and south main streets is a place where every inch of land and wealthy businessmen gather. Five-storey restaurants and teahouses abound. The county guard yamen is in the north of the city, the Jiang family has a house in the south of the city, the large and small courtyards just form a square residence, the main house courtyard opens a door in the north and south, the north is close to the South Second Street, the south gate is near the South Third Street, the west is adjacent to the West Third Street, and the east is adjacent to the West Second Street.

The people of Linyuan City know that this mansion has been there quietly for generations, and there are servants to clean it every day, and it will be overhauled and repaired every few years. Because it is the Jiang family's industry, that piece is called Jiang's Fang, which was empty before, and since a few years ago, some Jiang clansmen have lived in it one after another. Jiang's Fang gradually became lively.

However, the ancestral land of the Jiang family is not in Linyuan City, but in Wuyang County in the middle of Wuling County, located in the Wuyi Mountains of the lofty mountains, and the southwest is the steep and dangerous Xuefeng Mountain, which is said to be the place where the ancestor of the Jiang family was born in Yandi, and Wuyang County has believed in Emperor Yan from ancient times to the present, and the Jiang family is the descendants of the authentic Emperor Yan that have been handed down for thousands of years. Therefore, the Yandi Temple in the entire Wuling County has built countless temples for the orthodox shrine. And because the Jiang clan and the Kuikui clan, Lianshan clan, and Lieshan clan of the Yandi side line have taken the Wuling area as their ancestral land since ancient times, and the Wuling area of all dynasties has been governed by the Jiang family. All the officials appointed by the Taishou were appointed by the Jiang family.

To this day, the descendants of Emperor Yan basically use the surname Jiang, and there are still many clansmen in Wuling County who insist on using the surname of the side branch. For example, the current county order of Wuyang County is called Kui Kuiyan, and most of the surnames in Wuyang County are Kui Kui. The county order of Qianling County is called Lianshanru, and most of Qianling County is also surnamed Lianshan. The county order of Lingyuan County is called Lieshanxiong, and most of the same Lingyuan County is surnamed Lieshan. As the seat of the county, Linyuan City is basically surnamed Jiang, and the current county code is Jiang Shanyi's brother Jiang Shanzhong.

The four surnames of the Jiang family seem to have become their respective roles since ancient times, the Jiang family has entered the world, and the remaining three surnames guard the ancestral land, while the Kui family was born tall and strong, one size bigger than ordinary people, with infinite strength, rough skin and thick meat, and a straightforward and honest personality. The Lianshan clan is good at fighting, strong in force, and usually has a very hot personality, and Qianling is the most powerful in private fighting, but it is also a competitive point to the end, and there will basically be no deaths in the clan. The Lieshan clan often lives in the mountains, has a smart body, is extremely powerful in hunting, and has many marksmen. The Lieshan clan has a gentle personality, never hunts the cubs and the mother, is kind and easy-going, and wise and resourceful. The Jiang family is actually the most characterless, but one is in a state of accession to the WTO, and has cultivated a secular ability in the red dust, in fact, the head of the family is not surnamed Jiang, but surnamed Shennong, and only uses the surname Jiang for the convenience of activities in the world.

Many family secrets are actually passed on by the head of the family by word of mouth after the future head of the family has performed the crown ceremony in the Yandi Temple. However, on the way back to Jiang's Fang along the street from the East Gate, Jiang Shanyi told Jiang Ge in detail one by one. I really feel sorry for Jiang Ge, Jiang Shanyi also hopes that Jiang Ge will understand the true essence of the family as soon as possible, so that he can have a plan in his heart, otherwise it will be difficult to protect himself in this world, let alone anything else.

Jiang Shanyi whispered and talked about the tirade all the way, and Jiang Ge carefully remembered it in his heart. After Jiang Shanyi's explanation, Jiang Ge realized that those who died for himself in the Shadow Guard were actually clansmen who were related to his own blood.

Speaking of his surname, Jiang Ge asked Jiang Shanyi curiously, Jiang Shanyi is named Shennong Shanyi in the Shennong clan genealogy, Shanyi is a kind of bird in the Wuling Mountains, good at hiding, that is, people who have lived in Wuling for generations may not be able to see it once in their lives. It just so happened that when Jiang Shanyi was born, Jiang Ge's grandmother saw one, so it should actually be called Jiang Shanyi, and later changed to Jiang Shanyi after the crown, which is easy to understand and convenient to take care of all aspects of things.

And Jiang Ge's name in the genealogy is Shennong Minghuang, as for why it is called this name, Jiang Shanyi's originally very happy mood suddenly became a little depressed, it turned out that Jiang Ge's mother died because of dystocia, and the name was given by Jiang Ge's mother when she was dying, saying that it was because she was pregnant with a dragon, and her ordinary body couldn't bear it, and vaguely heard the child in her belly chanting in the sky, and there seemed to be a phoenix singing outside the nine heavens. So he took such a name that means dragon chanting and phoenix singing, but the name is suspected of transgression in the world, Jiang Shanyi felt that the dragon chanting and phoenix singing was the sound of the heavens, and it must be as exciting as a song. So in the end, he took the down-to-earth name of Jiang Ge.

Jiang Ge didn't care about the origin of the name after hearing it, but his mother died because of his difficult birth, and his heart was inevitably sad. In my memory, there is only a portrait in Jiang Shanyi's study, and the woman in the portrait is not as amazing as the ladies in those albums, and even a little ordinary, but she is slender, with delicate facial features, and a gentle and kind face. There are not many outstanding places, but Jiang Ge has liked to watch it alone since he was a child, and he never gets tired of watching it, and the more he looks at it, the better it looks. Jiang Shanyi never said anything about Jiang Ge's mother, only said that he was from the Central Plains, surnamed Xiao, a small family, and later was saved by Jiang Shanyi, but unfortunately other relatives died in the famine. Jiang Shanyi asked him to take care of his daily life, and later Jiang Ge was born.

Jiang Ge also asked Fu Bo, and Fu Bo's answer was the same, there was no difference. So Jiang Ge didn't ask about it again.

It takes about a quarter of an hour to walk from the east gate of Linyuan City to Jiang's Fang, most of the way is Jiang Shanyi said, Jiang Ge listened, occasionally Jiang Ge would ask, Jiang Shanyi would answer. Unconsciously, Jiang Ge and Jiang Shanyi and many servants walked to the gate of Jiang's mansion, and there were already small servants who returned to the house in advance to spread the news, at this time, a long red carpet was laid under the three-level bluestone steps at the gate of Jiang's mansion, and the red carpet was spread from the roadside to the lobby, and there were three braziers burning with charcoal on the red carpet, one at the gate, one at the front hall, and one at the door of the main hall of the lobby. Standing in front of the enshrinement stage, there is a man and a girl on both sides of the red carpet, holding a cyan wicker, holding a white jade porcelain bottle, before Jiang Ge is ready to incense, he uses wicker to dip in water and sprinkle it on Jiang Ge's body three times, and then Jiang Ge asked three incense sticks on the long case to light and insert them in the furnace, after doing all this, Jiang Ge went to the back hall to bathe and change clothes, and his own domestic servants used peach wood to pick up the clothes worn by Jiang Ge and threw them into the brazier at the door of the main hall. Then the servant slaughtered a majestic rooster with golden feathers outside the house, filled the chicken blood with a porcelain bowl, Jiang Shanyi handed the chicken blood that was still warm to Jiang Ge, Jiang Ge drank it in one breath without hesitation, and then the servant handed a bowl of clear morning dew for Jiang Ge to rinse his mouth, and wiped it with a silk scarf, and then lit a million firecrackers outside the house, resounding in the sky.

Everyone in Jiang's mansion felt a deep joy in the deafening sound of firecrackers, and they all looked at the movement outside the mansion, and the statue of Emperor Yan enshrined behind everyone seemed to flash a trace of golden light and rushed into the back of Jiang Ge's head, Jiang Ge just felt a little itchy in the back of his head, reached out and grabbed it, and then stood quietly beside Jiang Shanyi and listened to the sound of joyful firecrackers.

-------------------------

The long case in the void was dotted on a picture of mountains and rivers, and the person who painted suddenly stopped the movement of his slender jade hand, gently put away his pen, and put his hands on his abdomen, as if waiting quietly for something.

The young golden dragon, which was still in the black clouds of the Central Plains, suddenly appeared in a blue pool in the mountains and mountains of the southwest, sometimes diving, sometimes cruising on the water at will.

Suddenly, a bright light rose from the mountains and rivers in the Wuling Mountains, and then divided into two, two into four, four into infinity, and finally turned into a golden point of light that covered the sky and swayed in the territory of Wuling County, the young golden dragon in the blue pool looked at the dots of golden light falling on the water surface and did not sink, greedy for fun and joy to keep devouring one by one, after the little dragon devoured hundreds of golden light, a loud dragon chant suddenly resounded through the world in the blue pool, the originally small golden dragon jumped out of the water, tread on the water surface and walked, the golden dragon flashed on the golden dragon, It has more than doubled in size, and all the yellow scales on his body have fallen off, and the dragon scales that shone with a faint golden light are shining.

Wuling County, which was sprinkled with countless golden lights, was originally a little gray on the picture scroll, but at this time, it became a little beautiful and vibrant. The green hills on the scroll turn verdant, the rivers come alive, and flocks of white-feathered birds hovering and flying overhead.

Just after the little dragon metamorphosed and let out that high-pitched dragon groan, dozens of dragons of different sizes and colors scattered all over the whole picture scroll stopped to look southwest, some were eyeing tigers, some were vigilant, some were angry, and some were furious.

Seeing this, the painter who stood quietly on the side smiled playfully, then waved his wide sleeves and continued to draw carefully with a pen.

The dwarfest and faintest star seemed to be a little brighter again.

The position seems to be a little higher.
