Chapter 288: Return (No Surprise)
Outside the cemetery of the second elder Ximenda, Ximen Qing dismounted early, and a few followed Wu Song and others, naturally followed closely and entered the cemetery. Ximenqing's face was sad, and his eyes were tearful. Seeing the second child's tombstone, his feet were weak and he almost fell. Wu Song hurriedly stepped forward to help him with Ju An, so as to avoid falling.
"Children are not filial."
When he walked to the grave, Ximenqing looked at the loess in front of the grave, remembered the past, and the two elders of Ximenda loved him, and he was sad from the heart, and cried bitterly on the ground.
The son wants to raise but does not wait. Although he came through time, the second elder's love for himself has not diminished by half. Now Ximen Qing has returned to his hometown, but he and the second elder have been separated forever, even if he has great ability, it is difficult to see each other again.
When he cried, Ju An and Wu Song also knelt on the ground, accompanied by the crying, and this pain lasted for half an hour before it stopped.
This is still someone who keeps consoling, and now Ximenqing is also a glorious lintel, and if the second elder of Ximenda underground knows, he will also be pleased.
Wu Song helped Ximen Qinghou and said: "Brother, the deceased is gone and cannot return, you have to mourn and take care of yourself." ”
This dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety, before Ximen Qing was sent by the official, the second elder happened to pass away, according to the past practice, Ximen Qing should have kept filial piety for three years, and then he had his wife Dai Xiao, plus he came back from time to time to worship, which saved some literati tongues. But even so, it was spit on by many people.
After the worship, Ximenqing and others stayed here for a long time before leaving.
Ximenqing returned to his hometown this time, he didn't want to be too ostentatious, although he belonged to the hometown of brocade, but if he was too high-profile, it would inevitably be discussed by others, but alas, he is not an ordinary hero in the market now, but a military general of the imperial court, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion, and he is also quite a figure in Dongping Mansion. Don't mention that I have a friendship with him before, even those who don't have a friendship have to come up and have a stammer.
After worshipping the second elder, before entering the county, there were people waiting on the official road outside the city, and it turned out that after knowing that Ximen Qing was going to return to his hometown, his relatives and friends in the county were old, so he went out of the city early to greet him.
Ximenqing didn't have a big deal, and by virtue of his official status, he played official with everyone, or what he handled, no matter whether he was old or young, rich or low, and the friendship was deep, all of them treated each other with courtesy. In particular, the few friends he made with him were even more affectionate, and for a while, these people all felt full of brilliance.
After learning that Ximen Qing was suffering in front of the grave just now. Everyone praises each other, the Ximen officials are really filial piety and righteousness, no wonder many people on the rivers and lakes call him the reincarnation of Meng Weijun, in their own eyes, the Ximen officials are stronger than the sages, I don't know how many times stronger.
When Ximenqing and his party walked outside the county gate, there were already hundreds of people behind him, which had already sent a lot away.
"Big official, there is a messenger from the county government in front of you." Wu Song, who opened the road in front, hit the horse to sue.
Ximen Qing raised his eyes to see, it was none other than his subordinates when he was the head of Yanggu County that day. At the same time, there is also a scribe dressed as a literati.
This guy sang a big song to Ximenqing and said: "Big official, the county minister is invited." ”
According to the past practice, although Ximenqing's official position is not small, after all, he belongs to the ranks of martial artists, and he is extremely noble compared to the village husbands and peddlers in the market, but in the eyes of civil officials, he still belongs to the despised profession.
The magistrate of the county, this time he sent someone to invite him in a high-profile manner, I am afraid that it is not for his own soldiers and horses, but for the sake of Cai Jing and Taishi Cai behind him.
Ximen Qing arched his hand and said: "This official knows, and he will go to the county government later." ”
The convoy traveled to Yanggu County, and there was a surge of people, and almost all the fathers and elders of the county came to see him, after all, he was a rare official in Yanggu County.
In this era when the township party is extremely heavy, Yanggu County has such a big official as Ximenqing, and the fathers and villagers of the county are also honored. Besides, if there is self-interest, if one of these people wants to run for a future, or if something bad happens, I am afraid that they will have to take a walk here in Ximenqing.
Originally, there were only two sticks of incense away, but Ximen Qing was stunned and walked for more than half an hour before he arrived at his door.
Hui Niang took Chunmei and other female relatives out to greet her, the beauty was still the same, and Ximen Qing didn't know what it was like in her heart.
"Hui Niang."
"Official ......" saw Ximenqing, Huiniang had tears in the corners of her eyes, she really loved Ximen.
Ximenqing patted her soft and said, "Now that I'm going home to my hometown, why is the lady crying?" ”
Hui Niang was teased in public, her face was slightly red, and she said: "I cried with joy, and I couldn't help myself." ”
Ximenqing nodded, and looked at Chunmei, this little girl, who has not seen her for this time, looks more and more attractive.
After the ceremony, Ximen Qing invited everyone to drink at home, the current Ximen Mansion is not as big as before, after these years of repair, it is several times larger than the previous one. It is more than enough to entertain his brothers to follow, as well as the old folks who come to the door to say goodbye.
A time home, Ximen Qing's home, like a city.
For two days in a row, Ximen either went to visit the county magistrate, or drank with his old friends, after all, he belonged to the rich and returned to his hometown.
It wasn't until the third day after returning home that Ximen Qing had no time to spare, and he was alone with his wife and Chunmei girl.
"Lady, do you want to be a husband?"
In the courtyard, Ximenqing hugged Huiniang and said softly.
Although he is also an old husband and wife, in broad daylight, listening to the love words, he still can't help but have a red neck.
"Instead of coaxing me here, Xianggong should go and see Sister Chunmei."
"What's wrong with her?"
"Xianggong also asked, officials for business, don't go home all year round, it's easy to come back, for a few days in a row, but only drink with old friends, and don't stop at night, every time I get drunk, it's strange that Chunmei is not angry." Although Huiniang complained about Chunmei, Ximen heard that she also had resentment in her heart.
Regarding their grievances, Ximenqing can understand that in this situation, if it is placed in his previous life, even if he does not divorce, he is afraid that his head will be green.
Tightening the beauty in her arms, Ximenqing pressed her earlobe and said, "The lady only said Chunmei, don't you have any resentment in your heart?" The husband also knows that he owes you a lot, and today he is here, so he will make up for it for the husband. ”
"How do you want to compensate for it?"
"Hehe, of course it's more interesting than thrush."
Hui Niang is a person who knows the history books, where does she not know what Ximen Qing is talking about, her little face turned red instantly, she struggled to get up, took a sip of Ximen Qing and said: "The official is so serious, he has been talking for a long time, and he is still ......."
"Or what?"
"It's better to cheapen yourself." Hui Niang naturally couldn't say this, so she took a sip and turned around to find Chunmei.
