Chapter 274: The melon is ripe
Chai Shao's old ox car walked very slowly, before he had time to enter the city, Chen Fuliang's team had already snatched his front, Chai Shao recognized Chen Fuliang at a glance, and quickly lowered his head, but Chen Fuliang said that he didn't expect that the poor coachman next to him who was covered with snowflakes was the rich boy who brought the big team of family members and beautiful maids to show off his power in front of him more than two years ago, and led his entourage to cross Chai Shao and go straight to Daxing City, leaving Chai Shao to stand in the wind and snow for a long time, with thousands of thoughts.
Of course, Chen Yingliang, who is like an arrow, can't know what Chai Shao is thinking at the moment, in order to go home as much as possible to see the third uncle and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli who have not seen him for more than two years, Chen Fuliang didn't even bother to go to the Mingde Gate, the main gate of Daxing City, and directly entered the city from the Chunming Gate in the east, and then divided the soldiers into two roads in the metropolis, Chen Yingliang led Wei Chi Jingde and other personal soldiers to Yiyang Fang to see the third uncle, and settled the entourage - Gao Shilian's family background is average, but he can't live in Chen Fuliang's three hundred followers. The eldest grandson Wuji went all the way to Longzhengfang to report the good news to his uncle Gao Shilian and his mother, and also asked them to prepare for Chen Fuliang.
I haven't been back to my home in Yiyangfang for more than two years, and when I returned to my house, Chen Yingliang really had a very strange feeling, and his own door was also very interesting, and he even came to ask Chen Yingliang if he came to meet General Chen of the Right Military Guard? He also said that General Chen was just going to come back in the next few days, but he hadn't returned home yet, and if he wanted to see General Chen, he had to line up to make an appointment, which made Chen Yingliang himself laugh, and finally Chen Laosan heard Chen Fuliang's voice rushing over, so he led Chen Yingliang into the gate.
Hurriedly settled most of the entourage, led Wei Chi Jingde and a few capable entourage, Chen Fuliang of course hit the horse and went straight to Longzhengfang, it was also a coincidence, when passing through Zhuque Street, Chen Yingliang happened to meet the former counterinsurgency comrade-in-arms Daxing Ling Han Shimo, and then Han Shimo hurriedly dismounted and saluted Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang didn't even get off the horse, and said directly: "Han Taizun, don't be so polite, I came back from leave to do private affairs, so I don't need to be so polite." I still have something to do, I'll go see you tomorrow, and by the way, help me tell Grandpa Wei, just say I'll kowtow to him tomorrow. ”
After that, Chen Yingliang hit the horse and left, Han Shimo asked Chen Yingliang in confusion why he was so anxious? Chen Yingliang shouted loudly on Suzaku Street, "See my daughter-in-law!" Go and see my daughter-in-law who I haven't seen for more than two years! If you don't see me again, you have to put it back again! Han Taizun, do you think I'm in a hurry? ”
Laughter erupted on the crowded Suzaku Street, and Han Shimo also laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's in a hurry, go quickly, the guard stays there, I'll bring you a message." Then Han Shimo hurriedly entered the imperial city and reported to Wei Xuan without mentioning it.
Rushed into the Longzheng Fang, and then rushed all the way to the Gao Shilian door where countless stories had happened, the Gao Shilian Mansion that received the news was already wide open, and the whole family guarded Chen Yingliang in front of the door to greet Chen Yingliang, Chen Fuliang, who was anxious to see his wife, did not hold the war horse as soon as the door, and jumped off the horse directly, and almost fell down, and then knelt down on one knee to Gao Shilian, and said loudly: "Senior Chen Yingliang, meet Uncle Gao." Oh no, I should have met my uncle! ”
"They are already important ministers of the imperial court, why don't you pay attention to your image identity?" Gao Shilian was angry and funny, hurriedly picked up Chen Yingliang, and led Chen Yingliang to his mother and sister Gao, urging: "Quick, give your grandmother and mother-in-law a gift." ”
"Chen Yingliang has seen his grandmother and mother-in-law." Chen Yingliang hurriedly saluted again, and then before he could get up, he looked up left and right, and quickly asked, "What about Wuji?" Why didn't you see her? ”
Chen Fuliang's anxious appearance made Gao's mother and Gao's laugh directly, and then Gao's mother let Chen Yingliang get up as a grandmother, and explained: "The little girl heard that you came back to pick her up, so she hid in the room in shame, and no one called out, and she will talk about it later." Quick, stand still, let's see what you look like now. ”
Hurriedly stood in a chic posture for his wife's relatives to appreciate, looking at Chen Yingliang, who was obviously much stronger and taller, Gao Shilian's family was full of emotion, and they didn't expect to say anything, when they were engaged, they were just a nephew and son-in-law who worked idle from Wupin, and after just over two years, he had become one of the few powerful ministers in the Great Sui court. It can't just be said to be luck, it should be said that it is a blessing.
Proud of his outstanding gaze, Gao Shilian hurriedly introduced Chen Yingliang into his home, and a banquet for Chen Yingliang had already been set up in the lobby, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who had not eaten lunch, had already chewed according to the case, after Gao Shilian opened his mouth to complain, the eldest grandson Wuji also unceremoniously pushed the charge to Chen Yingliang, and said: "I am used to following my brother, during the war, whenever you have a little time, you have to eat quickly, no one knows when the next battle will be fought, and you have to eat quickly if you have time." Besides, we were in a hurry and didn't even eat lunch. ”
Shaking his head and sighing that his nephew had been taken bad by his nephew and son-in-law, Gao Shilian hurriedly ordered someone to urge the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli to come out and want to see Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang couldn't wait to propose that he invite his fiancée, Gao Shilian's family agreed with a smile, and the maid led Chen Yingliang into the back hall and led Chen Yingliang directly to the door of the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli's boudoir, and then the maid didn't need Chen Yingliang's hints or instructions, she had already left with a smile.
Standing in front of the door of his future wife, Chen Yingliang first took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, and then reached out to push the door, but the door opened, Chen Yingliang walked inside, but saw a graceful girl sitting in front of the dresser, in a daze in front of the bronze mirror, Chen Yingliang smiled slightly, and then said gently: "Innocent, I'm back." ”
Hearing Chen Yingliang's voice, the girl's body shook, and then she slowly got up, turned back slowly, revealing a shy face that was shy and shy in the moon, dignified and beautiful, looking at Chen Yingliang silently, Chen Yingliang also looked at her silently, husband and wife were silent, and they were silent for a long time. After a long time, Chen Yingliang said softly again: "Wuji, I'm back." ”
"Husband......, Brother Yingliang." The girl spoke, two clusters of red glow covered her white and tender cheeks, and said softly: "Brother Yingliang, the road is hard, are you okay?" ”
Chen Yingliang didn't answer, but slowly walked to the girl, untied the sachet he hung around his neck, handed it to the girl, and said with a smile: "With the amulet you asked for me, can I be okay?" ”
took the faded sachet and rubbed the white tender little hand gently, the girl's face was even more shy, Chen Yingliang did not hesitate, opened his arms to hug the girl, lowered his head to the girl's already hot cheeks, shamelessly kissed the girl's red and tender cherry lips, the red cloud on the girl's face quickly spread to the root of the neck, a pair of young pink arms, but involuntarily hugged Chen Yingliang tightly, for a long time.
Missing is like old wine, the longer the time, the more mellow and intoxicating, more than two years of waiting, more than two years of fermentation and brewing, at this moment, Chen Yingliang and the eldest grandson are both intoxicated.
…………
Originally planned to visit Wei Xuan and others the next day, who would have thought that Gao Shilian's house had not even sat on the buttocks, Wei Xuan, Pang Yu, Hu Si Wanshan and Wei Fusi and other officials in the Eastern Capital had already come to the old Gao family to ask for the guilt, and together they severely condemned Chen Yingliang's shameful behavior of only caring about his daughter-in-law and disrespecting the elders, Pang Yu even scolded Chen Yingliang for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and unloading the mill to kill the donkey, and the daughter-in-law had not yet hugged the bed, she had already thrown herself over the wall as a matchmaker, and then joined hands to severely punish Chen Yingliang with the wine of the old Gao family, Chen Yingliang, who had a poor amount of alcohol, was drunk on the spot, and finally it was not until the subordinates of the old Gao family carried Chen Yingliang out of the lobby to rest, and Wei Xuan and the others, who were smiling, felt a little relieved.
After lying drunk in Gao Shilian's house all night, when he woke up the next day, the sun was three in the morning, and Chen Yingliang was very pleasantly surprised to find that the famous virtuous and virtuous fiancée's eldest grandson Xiao Luoli had already been waiting by his side, and he had prepared the sobering soup, and then enjoyed the decanting soup fed by his lovely fiancée with a spoonful of it, Chen Yingliang realized that this was actually the real moment of happiness.
While freshening up and changing clothes, Chen Yingliang remembered to inquire about the weather of Wei Xuan and others, and learned that Wei Xuan and others had left yesterday evening, and should still be working in the imperial city at this moment, Chen Yingliang did not rush to see them again, but said to the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli: "Wuji, I plan to go to Datongfang, where I used to live, to meet a friend, are you okay with me?" ”
"It's not convenient ......, right?" The eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli, combed Chen Yingliang's hair, and said a little shyly: "People haven't officially married you yet, why are you embarrassed to show up with you?" ”
"It's a very important friend, and I'm taking you with me to show my respect for him." Chen Yingliang explained, and told his fiancée about himself and Fang Xuanling again, explaining that Fang Xuanling helped him when he was down, and the reasonable eldest grandson Xiao Luoli nodded shyly and promised to visit Fang Xuanling and his wife with Chen Yingliang.
Here is also by the way to explain Fang Xuanling's situation, after Chen Yingliang and Emperor Yang of Sui left Daxing in the ninth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui never returned to Daye City, and Fang Xuanling, the palace servant, has become a completely empty ornament, I don't think it's interesting, Fang Xuanling simply resigned from this eight-grade official position again, returned home to concentrate on reading and charging, and has been living in Datongfang, Chen Yingliang is because he intermittently maintained correspondence with Fang Xuanling, knowing these situations, so he returned to Daxing the next day, Chen Yingliang couldn't wait to meet Fang Xuanling, asked Fang Xuanling to honor his agreement with him, and tried to kidnap Du Ruhui by the way.
After explaining the situation to Gao Shilian's family, putting on a carriage and loading his fiancée, Chen Fuliang went straight to Datongfang again, all the way to Datongfang, and then directly to the door of Defang's house. Seeing these familiar scenes, Chen Yingliang's nose turned a little sour, and it took a while for him to cry out, "Brother Qiao Song, do you remember me?" ”
Washing diapers in his hands that were red from the cold and turned his head, when he saw Chen Yingliang's familiar face, Fang Xuanling stayed for half a minute, Chen Yingliang didn't rush to speak, just smiled at Fang Xuanling, and finally came back to his senses, Fang Xuanling even forgot to throw down the diaper, and rushed directly to Chen Yingliang with the diaper, and hugged Chen Yingliang fiercely with his hand, and the diaper that was still dripping with water suddenly sprinkled Chen Yingliang's face, of course Chen Yingliang wouldn't mind such a trivial matter, but in turn hugged Fang Xuanling and laughed loudly together.
Hearing her husband's lazy laughter, his wife Lu immediately rushed out of the room with a broom to supervise the work, but after seeing Chen Yingliang, Lu immediately threw away the broom and happily asked when Chen Yingliang would come back? Chen Yingliang explained, while introducing his fiancée, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, to Fang Xuanling and his wife, and then the Lu family naturally couldn't wait to invite the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli into the room, and pulled the eldest grandson Xiaoluoli aside to ask for warmth, praise and praise, and by the way, instilled some feudal toxins such as not allowing men to marry concubines and partial houses, which indirectly harmed the unsympathetic Xiao Chen Shimei Chen Yingliang, but also gave Fang Xuanling and Chen Yingliang time and space to talk alone.
Once a friend who fell in love sat down through the brazier, Fang Xuanling and Chen Yingliang were a little relatively speechless for a while, and after a long time, Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "Brother Xian, the foolish brother really admires you, two years ago when you returned to Daxing for the first time, it has already surprised me enough, I am frightened enough, who would have thought that you would return to Daxing for the second time, but it made me eat more, even more unbelievable." It really responded to the poem that the virtuous brother read at the beginning, **************, he turned into a dragon when he encountered a storm. ”
"Brother Qiao Song, you already know about the little brother?" Chen Yinghao asked curiously.
"The virtuous brother has done such a great deed, how can there be anyone in the world who does not know?" Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "The foolish brother is idle at home, and he has been paying attention to the palace gate copy (Di Bao) when he has nothing to do, knowing that the virtuous brother has won a hundred battles in the Central Plains, and has never been defeated, and has been awarded the deputy envoy of the twelve counties, and also knows that the virtuous brother led the army of King Qin, and was named the commander of King Qin, and led the army of tens of thousands of King Qin to break the Turkic army of 250,000, and captured the Turkic thief chieftain from the beginning. Compared with the virtuous brother now, the foolish brother is really ashamed of himself. ”
"Brother is humble, if there was no letter of recommendation from my brother at the beginning, what would be the younger brother now?" Chen Yingliang smiled and said, "Brother, the younger brother came to visit you today, in addition to expressing gratitude, the other thing is to find you to fulfill the agreement." Does my brother remember? On the first night before I left for the army in Liaodong, you once brought wine to my house to see me off, what kind of agreement did I make with you at that time? ”
"Brother Xian, do you still remember the agreement at that banquet two years ago?" Fang Xuanling asked in surprise.
"Never forgot about it." Chen Yingliang Yan said: "The younger brother was young and ridiculous at the time, and he said wildly, saying that on the day when the younger brother opened the mansion and built the government, he must invite your brother to my shogunate to show your strength, show your ambitions, and swear with my brother to high-five, and now, the little brother has achieved this goal by luck, and it is time to ask the brother to fulfill your promise." ”
"Brother Xian, your subordinates are already like rain and fierce generals like clouds, do you still need a person like Brother Fool who is shallow in learning?" Fang Xuanling asked with a wry smile.
"Brother, you are the real hidden dragon in the abyss." Chen Yingliang held Fang Xuanling's hand and said in a deep voice: "The elder brother is only able to learn, and he is ten times better than the younger brother, but he is not lucky, and he always lacks the opportunity to soar into the sky." In the past, the little brother was humble and humble, and the little shogunate could not tolerate the elder brother of your big Buddha, so he has not spoken, and now the little brother has succeeded by luck, and he has been awarded the title of the three important ministers of the independent army, which can just give the elder brother a chance to show your strengths, and the younger brother is presumptuous, and also asks the elder brother to keep his promise, and give advice to the younger brother under the account, and always give guidance to the younger brother. ”
Fang Xuanling solemnly stared at Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang was stern, and after a while, Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Okay, since you don't think the foolish brother is shallow and knowledgeable, then the foolish brother can't be untrustworthy, and the foolish brother is willing to serve the younger brother." ”
Although this is just a ripe answer, Chen Yingliang was still overjoyed after hearing that Fang Xuanling, the sage of the ages, was willing to be a cow and a horse for himself, and immediately left his seat to salute Fang Xuanling, and said from the bottom of his heart: "The little brother has the help of his brother, it is really like a tiger with wings, swimming in water, and worry-free in this life." ”
"Brother Xian, it's too reputational, and it's too respectful." Fang Xuanling hurriedly returned the salute and bowed his hand to Chen Yingliang and said: "Brother Xian, from now on, you are the proprietor of the foolish brother, although the foolish brother is not talented, he is also willing to do his best to serve the virtuous brother as a saddle horse." ”
Chen Yingliang nodded and didn't speak, but just hugged Fang Xuanling's hands with both hands and shook them again and again, thinking a lot, as if he had returned to that summer night more than two years ago, how he carefully signed a contract with Fang Xuanling, high-fived as an oath, that scene, that words, as if it was last night.
Finally received Fang Xuanling under the account, and after sighing, Chen Yingliang just wanted to ask about Du Ruhui's current situation, but he didn't expect that an entourage suddenly ran outside the door, and said to Chen Yingliang: "General Qiyu, there is a woman, who claims to be surnamed Chai Mingqian, and when she arrives at your Yiyang Fang door and kneels and begs, she cries and begs to see you immediately, saying that there are 100,000 urgent things to present to you. Your housekeeper Chen Sanbo said, that woman is your former wife, let us report to you immediately, please decide. ”
"Chai Qian? What did she do in front of my house? Chen Yingliang was stunned at first, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at his current fiancée, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli also turned back to look at Chen Yingliang, looking at each other, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli's face was flushed with two balls of red, and she quickly twisted her pretty face away, pretending not to hear.
"Could it be that something happened to the Cheshire family?" Fang Xuanling's heart sank, and he hurriedly said to Chen Yingliang: "Brother Xian, you should go back immediately to take a look, something may have happened." Brother Xian, you probably don't know that Chai Shao's family has now sold all the industrial mansions and lived in Changpingfang, which is poorer than Datongfang, and is as depressed as you were two years ago, Chai Girl is also a high-minded and arrogant person, if it weren't for a hundred thousand urgent and difficult things, she would never act like this. ”
Chen Yingliang nodded, and immediately got up and said to the eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli: "Wuji, it may be something big, the Duke of Cheshire and my family used to be world friends, I can't see death without help." ”
"I'll go with you." The eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli, said gently: "I'll go with you to see Sister Chai, we are all girls, so it's easier to speak." ”
At the same time that Chen Yingliang nodded, Lu immediately grabbed the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, attached it to Xiao Luoli's ear and continued to inject poison, reminding Xiao Luoli to pay attention to Chen Fuliang, and not give him and Chai Qian a chance to resurge, men don't have a good thing. Over there, Fang Xuanling also took the opportunity to be lazy and said, "Brother Xian, I'll go with you." Lady, there was an accident with the virtuous brother, and I was also involved in the conflict between the virtuous brother and the Chai family, and I couldn't ignore it - so, the rest of the diapers will be hard for you. Chen Yingliang just wanted to ask about Du Ruhui's current situation, but he didn't think that an entourage suddenly came outside the door, and said to Chen Yingliang: "General Qiyu, there is a woman, who claims to be surnamed Chai Mingqian, and when she arrives at your Yiyangfang door, she kneels and begs, crying and begging to see you immediately, saying that there are 100,000 urgent things to present to you.

"Chai Qian? What did she do in front of my house? Chen Yingliang was stunned at first, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at his current fiancée, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, and the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli also turned back to look at Chen Yingliang, looking at each other, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli's face was flushed with two balls of red, and she quickly twisted her pretty face away, pretending not to hear.

Chen Yingliang nodded, and immediately got up and said to the eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli: "Wuji, it may be something big, the Duke of Cheshire and my family used to be world friends, I can't see death without help." ”
"I'll go with you." The eldest grandson, Xiao Luoli, said gently: "I'll go with you to see Sister Chai, we are all girls, so it's easier to speak." ”
