Chapter 100: Visitors from Luoyang
It was almost the middle of winter, Xu Ji finally packed his bags and prepared to return to Yingyin, he went to meet Xun Yu first, this best friend is really hard work, and the troublesome things from behind him are more or less blocked by Xun Yu for him. Xu Ji was not naΓ―ve enough to think that he would not react to the tossing of Yingchuan in Chenliu, and the things he tossed in Yingchuan back then were by no means so easy to forget.
Fortunately, Xu Ji was not ready to make a noise this time, he was just preparing to see his parents, and he was really making some waves in Yingchuan now, not to mention that he was also a guy who was remembered in Yingchuan Xu Ji has never forgotten. Liang Xi quickly settled the situation after taking over Jiwu's affairs, and Zhang Miao naturally did not do anything after Xu Ji handed over the things as evidence, but with this, Xu Ji was also more convinced that Zhang Miao was bound to do something to himself, so he would be so tolerant of himself for several months, and it was winter, it was indeed not the season to send troops, that is, Xu Ji still had a period of time to buffer, not surprisingly, Xu Ji had to face another war that had been predicted for a long time after spring ploughing next year.
But this is the next year's matter after all, Xu Ji is really not interested in delaying his mood for this, and Xu Ji also understands that whether this incident happens or not is no longer something he can decide, and no matter what, he and Zhang Miao must have such a dispute, which is unavoidable.
Of course, Xu Ji turned around Yingchuan and didn't forget to bring Xun You, as for Guo Jia, he was busy with Xiangyi's affairs and couldn't get away for a while, and Guo Jia's parents were no longer there, so it didn't seem to matter if he couldn't return to Yingyin. Of course, Guo Jia didn't care, but he still asked someone to bring back some gifts, after all, there was still an uncle. Guo Jia, who has raised him for many years, still remembers it in his heart after all.
Within a few days, Xu Ji and his party returned to Yingyin. At this time, it was a year ago, and Yingyin was lit up and down. Xu Ji was accompanied only by Dian Wei, and Lejin's family also arrived in Yu County a few days ago, and Lejin stayed in Yu County to accompany his family to signal that he did not accompany him. And although Huang Jun also came to Yingchuan, he went with Xun Yu to visit Xun Yu, so Xu Ji and everyone were separated in Yingyin, and he decided to see Xun Yu again when he returned to his own Wu, this matter is not in a hurry, and now his return to Yingyin is not a big deal even if it is known, and positive means cannot be used, after all, Xu Ji is an official. And Xu Ji didn't care about the embarrassment on his face, so Xu Ji was relaxed this time.
As the so-called hometown timidity, although accompanied by Dian Wei, but the closer to his hometown, Xu Ji inevitably still has some complicated feelings, he left home at the age of five, and now more than eleven years, and only came back twice in the middle but failed to stay at home for a long time, the last time was three years ago with Sima Hui when he returned to Yingchuan. And Dian Wei is naturally quite curious about Xu Ji's hometown, what kind of water and soil can raise such an incomprehensible guy in his own family.
"Junqing. Do you know that the last time I came back, the tree here was only about the same height as me, and now it is able to shade one side. Xu Ji looked at a big tree at the entrance of the village and said with emotion.
Dian Wei turned his head to look, and saw that the locust tree was already quite luxuriant, and the sky was blocked under the branches and leaves. Dian Wei suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't it just like the lord has already shielded the people of Chen Liu? Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled helplessly and did not speak again. Instead, he lifted his steps and walked in, although Dian Wei's words were a bit suspicious, but they dispelled his nervousness.
But now there are not many people in the village who can recognize Xu Ji. It's almost time to get to Xu Ji's house, and no one has recognized him yet, but this is exactly what Xu Ji wants. Originally, I wanted to be quieter, so I decided not to bring too many people. Now it can be regarded as a wish.
Seeing the familiar room in front of him, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and he couldn't help but have pantothenic acid in his eyes. Xu Ji almost forgot that after he came to this world, these two relatives who loved him with all their heart. He cried out, "Father, mother, the child has returned." β
After shouting these words, Xu Ji's eyes were already red, he pushed open the chai door, and saw that the scene in the courtyard was the same as when he left home, it seemed that nothing had changed, and the only thing that had changed was that he was now a teenager, and his parents were getting old. Finally, Xu Ji walked to the edge of the stove where he used to sit in his childhood, and stood quietly. Dian Wei behind him also followed step by step, he didn't speak, obviously afraid that the noise would ruin Xu Ji's memories.
Just when Xu Ji was stunned, a woman in a cloth jacket heard the voice, Xu Ji raised his head, looked at the woman and smiled: "Mother, the child is back." After saying that, he knelt on the ground and made a big bow to the woman, Dian Wei naturally knelt on the ground, this is the mother of his own father-in-law, Dian Wei couldn't find a reason to be disrespectful, and after hearing the movement, a sturdy man also came out of the house, and when he saw Xu Ji kneeling on the ground, he asked the woman: "Who is this?" Why? The woman stepped forward and pulled the man and pointed at Xu Ji and said, "You don't have long eyes, you can't even recognize your own son?" The man was stunned, Xu Ji also looked up at the man and said, "The child Xu Ji visits his father." After saying this, the man in front of him suddenly smiled, pulled Xu Ji up and said, "Didn't you go back to Jiangxia to study two years ago?" Now that your studies are over? How did you come back thousands of miles away? β
Xu Ji looked carefully, his father's originally straight body was now a little rickety, and the hair on his temples had turned gray, he couldn't help but feel sad, remembering that he was now a postal superintendent, under the jurisdiction of two counties, and his parents were still poor, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about his unfilial piety, and for his father's question, Xu Ji still replied respectfully: "A few months ago, I finished my studies and turned to Yingyin, but it happened that the yellow scarf, the child recruited a group of righteous people to go to the Changshe to help fight, fortunately, he finally defeated the thief, I wanted to return to my hometown to visit the two, but unexpectedly, the emperor ordered to rush to Wancheng and had to give up again, and then Wancheng did something and the child went to Luoyang with the two generals of the emperor Song and Zhu Jun. For the crime of unfilial piety of the child, the father and mother are also asked to punish him. Saying that, Xu Ji knelt down again, he should have been with his parents all these years, but he had to be busy with other affairs because of various things. Now Xu Ji can't wait to be able to repay all of his brains.
Xu Yuanhu said with a pleased smile on his face: "I finally didn't go to school in vain, and now I finally have some achievements." Come on. A dignified man, how can he be such a daughter? Get up. Get me up. After that, he looked at Dian Wei, who was kneeling behind Xu Ji, and said, "Ji'er, who is this man?" β
Xu Ji saw Dian Wei at this time, so he stood up and explained according to his father's intentions: "This is my subordinate who followed Dian Wei, and the child was in danger before, but thanks to his help, he was able to get out of danger." After that, he turned his head and said to Dian Wei: "Come, Junqing, you also get up, these two are my parents, and not only my safety will be entrusted to you in the future." And my family. Hearing this, Dian Wei saluted respectfully and said: "This is Dian Wei's duty." β
Seriously, Xu Yuanhu is very satisfied with his son, I heard the villagers in the same village say that Yingchuan has a great boy, and he burned 50,000 yellow scarves in Changshe, it is said that it is also Xu Xing, at that time Xu Yuanhu was still thinking about how good the young man would be if he was his son, but that person was really his son who rarely returned home. And Xu's eyes when he looked at Xu Ji were even more loving, Xu Ji was bitter in her eyes, and he left home alone at a young age to study in Yingyin. Later, because of the teacher, he had to go to Jiangxia, and he only went home twice in more than ten years, so it can be said that Xu Ji has lacked a lot of love from his family since he was a child, and Xu Ji felt guilty because he was not able to take care of his parents. Xu also blamed himself for not being able to give Xu Ji a better environment, but fortunately, now that the family is reunited, everything is not important.
So Xu Ji and Dian Wei lived at home. These days, Xu Ji has completely put aside his official status, and he accompanies his mother to talk to him when he has nothing to do. He got up early to practice boxing with Dian Wei, and now his father has stopped hunting and has changed careers to become a blacksmith. Xu Ji will also help his father toss, although he is scolded by his father every time he is driven out, but these days are the most relaxed and happy times for Xu Ji in the past few months.
And he didn't know that he was about to usher in an "old man" who didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
This matter had to start with Xu Ji getting Chen Liudu's transfer. When Zhu Jun first performed his work for Xu Ji, he saw that there was a girl in addition to the Han Emperor, or rather, she was already a girl at this time. If Xu Ji saw it, she would definitely be surprised why she was here, and she was very concerned about the "Xu Ji" in this recital.
"Father, have you seen this recital?" The girl's words to Emperor Han indicate that she was clearly a princess.
Emperor Han beckoned to the girl, she walked to her father, Emperor Han held the girl in his arms and said, "What, Yin Ning is also interested in these?" The tone was full of pampering. The girl frowned when she heard this, and said: "These boring things, Yi Ning doesn't like them, but I heard that there is a young man who has been praised by General Zhu, so he is a little disdainful, what ability does a young boy have to defeat 50,000 yellow scarves?" β
When Emperor Han heard this, he smiled and said: "Good daughter, you are wrong, this time Zhu Jun, this old guy almost broke in Changshe, if it weren't for this young man's fire, Zhu Jun is afraid that he would not have the face to give me this twist." β
"Father, does this guy really have such a skill? So why didn't you hear about it before? The girl pouted and asked, Emperor Han scratched her little nose dotingly and said, "This kid is from a poor family, where does he get his reputation?" This kid can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and now he is really famous all over the world, but that's fine, I also want to see how big a wave this kid can make. With that, the girl let go, picked up the recital on the desk and read it. The girl asked tentatively: "What is my father going to do with this boy who has hit a big luck?" Emperor Han picked up the piece in his hand, and the sentence reflected in his eyes was only a few words like this, "or he can be the pillar of the Han family", he said: "Since Zhu Jun has asked for an official position for him, I will promise him, and I also want to see if this kid can have the ability that Zhu Jun said." β
The girl in the carriage frowned and thought of all this, but she was cursing something in her mouth, listening carefully, it seemed to be "Dengzi, this princess sees where you can hide, this princess will never return to Luoyang if you don't catch you this time", and the coachman outside the car turned to the car and asked: "Princess, oh, no, miss, is it really okay to sneak away like this?" Emperor... How can the master let the young lady go so easily? Although the driver was disguised, his voice clearly revealed that it was a woman.
The girl poked her head out and said hatefully: "It's all in Yingyin, what's the use of talking about this?" You've said it all the way, don't say it again. Miss Ben won't be called Yining if she doesn't find that bastard boy to settle the account! With that, he returned to the carriage. The driver of the car couldn't help but be a little frightened. Others may not know what this little girl in this car is capable of, but she does. This is the most beloved little princess of the Han Emperor today, and no one dared to make her unhappy since she was a child. Otherwise, I don't know when I will disappear inexplicably, and since this person can come to Yingyin in person, it is estimated that the person who provoked her will be in great trouble.
As for what kind of psychology the girl came with, even she herself can't tell, she was angry with him after saving his life, and it must be a lie to say that she doesn't remember, but since then she has often recalled this average-looking teenager. is even more because he is angry about what he has done, not to mention that this disciple once despised himself, and the girl resolutely slipped out of Luoyang and came to Yingchuan under such complex and unspeakable emotions. As for his father. The girl also knew that her "good father" didn't love her so much now, all he cared about was whether he could sit firmly on his throne, and her heart, her father no longer cared. And there is another reason for this exodus, that is, her father, who was once obedient, wants to force her to marry a stranger she has never met, and the first thing she thought of was Xu Ji, who made her angry and cry back then.
The girl is naturally not a fool, and she knows that she came to that bastard boy alone and doesn't say anything else, and she doesn't know the way in the first place. And if Xu Ji knew that he came to him, he would definitely avoid it, and the girl would not let him succeed. And the girl also knows that her identity cannot be exposed for the time being, and if people know it, she will immediately "escort" herself to Luoyang, and then she will inevitably be grounded and waiting to get married. This is an outcome that a young girl would never want to accept.
The outline of Ying Yin could already be seen in front of her, and the girl's eyes were blurred, and she thought about the first time she saw that bastard boy. Maybe this is the so-called bad fate, I've only heard it in stories. But I didn't expect to meet such a nemesis. However, the girl may not have thought that Xu Ji was her nemesis, so she was probably the same to Xu Ji.
this day. Xu Ji got up early in the morning, wearing only a white Confucian shirt and a jacket made of tiger skin, Dian Wei was already practicing boxing in the courtyard, Xu Ji smiled: "Junqing got up early." Dian Wei heard Xu Ji's voice, then he stopped and turned back to salute and said, "The lord is also early, why don't you rest more?" Xu Ji looked at the thin layer of sweat on Dian Wei's forehead and said with a smile: "Junqing gets up early, I, as the lord, naturally can't fall behind, let's go with me, the snow of yesterday is just right to walk today." β
Hearing this, Dian Wei also picked up the jacket that hung in the courtyard and put it on, and Xu Ji had already walked out of the courtyard first. The snow is at the beginning of the day, it is wrapped in silver, Xu Ji is rarely very interested, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, because Xu Ji's grandfather died early, indicating that there is still an ancestor worship today, but Xu Yuanhu asked him not to participate on the grounds that Xu Ji did not understand, of course, Xu Ji knew that this was not good at expressing his father wanted to rest more, after all, he would have to rush back to Chen Liu after the year, and there were many things waiting for him to deal with.
The two walked to a dirt slope, Xu Ji stood on a high place and looked out, turned back to Dian Wei and said, "Junqing, do you say that this snow indicates that the coming year will be a good year?" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "This Junqing doesn't know, but I often hear people say that Ruixue is a good year, or I don't know if it's true." β
Suddenly the wind rose, Xu Ji turned his head to look, only to see some snowflakes were raised by the wind, Xu Ji stretched out his hand and then hovered in the air, the original high interest suddenly declined, Dian Wei saw such a strange and said: "Why did the lord show this sad color?" β
Xu Ji looked at him and muttered: "The snowflakes are like palms that are difficult to cover their eyes, and the wind is like a knife and constantly worried." Junqing, do you know what is emotional? Dian Wei frowned and shook his head, obviously not knowing what this sentence meant. Xu Ji shook his head and sighed, and was about to turn his head back when he saw a figure appear not far away.
This is a girl, Xu Ji can see at a glance, she seems to be walking towards her side with great difficulty, Xu Ji waved away the snow particles with his hand and looked at this figure carefully, although he didn't know who it was, but he had a faint sense of familiarity.
Xu Ji suddenly remembered someone, and his face turned pale in an instant, and he turned back to Dian Wei and said, "Junqing, that's a woman, right?" Am I not dazzled? Dian Wei looked at Xu Ji and replied with a panicked face: "It is indeed a woman, why is the lord's face so pale?" β
Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "After all, I haven't dodged yet, it seems that I can't escape this time." Seeing Dian Wei's confused face, Xu Ji sighed and said, "Wait, if Junqing is curious, when the woman comes closer, everything will be known." β
Although he was very puzzled as to why Xu Ji was so panicked, Dian Wei had a faint sense of danger, and this feeling did not come from Xu Ji in front of him, but the woman who was still staggering forward in the snow, this is a kind of martial artist's directness, Dian Wei believes that this is not his illusion.
The woman in front of him brought him a feeling that it would be very troublesome, just like the little mink he fed when he was young, although it was clever and cute, but it was a troublesome mess, and this woman was like that.
Xu Ji frowned, and Dian Wei couldn't help but sigh softly, he seemed to understand why Xu Ji was like this.
For the woman lifted up her head and spoke. (To be continued......)
