That's a great trick!

Duanmu Xian suddenly felt that Mu Yan looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Duanmu Xian has always been blindly believing in his little granddaughter, and his little granddaughter will never speak without purpose.

The expressions of the other ministers in the Jinluan Palace were subtle, and many people even thought that the new emperor should not have woken up, right?

The fourth girl of Duanmu had a dream at night, saying that there would be an earth dragon turning over, and the new emperor didn't ask Qin Tianjian to believe it? Moreover, he also mobilized the public to make the household department prepare for disaster relief, which is child's play.

I wanted to think about it, but I didn't dare to be this bird, to say that the fourth girl of Duanmu was not.

Just imagine, in front of everyone's eyes, can the words spoken in the Jinluan Hall be concealed from Cen Yin?!

Duanmuxian knew that the situation was serious, and immediately sorted out the key points, so he asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, does Huaizhou need to send someone over to preside over the overall situation?" ”

Speaking of Huaizhou, other ministers were also diverted. If there is really a earth dragon turning over, and it happens in Huaizhou, I am afraid that there will be some trouble, and it is likely to cause a wave of unpredictable turmoil in Huaizhou.

"This matter will be discussed by the cabinet first." Mu Yan said.

He and Cen Yin had already discussed, but they couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and wanted to see if the cabinet had any good proposals.

Duanmu Xian frowned slightly, and You Junji and several other pavilion elders also frowned.

In this Manchu Dynasty, there is no shortage of talents, however, Huaizhou is different from other states in Dasheng, and it is not possible for ordinary people to suppress Huaizhou.

In just a few breaths, they already had several candidates in their minds, but they felt that it was inappropriate.

To put it mildly, it is easy to send someone to replace Xiao Tian to guard Jinzhou, but it is a big problem to choose a suitable person to control Huaizhou.

Duanmu Xian and several other pavilion elders all felt that their heads were aching faintly.

The other ministers in the palace were also in an uproar, discussing the topic one after another, speculating about who the emperor would send to Huaizhou in the end.

In the midst of the noise and shouting, I heard Mu Yan in front of him say again: "In order to avoid panic among the people, the matter of the earth dragon turning the sky upside down should also be announced to the world." ”

The Jinluan Hall suddenly fell silent again.

“……”

“……”

“……”

The faces of the ministers were speechless, and many of the ministers looked at the new emperor without saying anything.

Obviously, the new emperor really believes that there will be a earth dragon in the south, but what if there is a "what if"?

Probably only Duanmuxian felt that Mu Yan was reasonable, and he was the first to react and took the lead in responding.

So, on the same day, the imperial court issued an official document, saying that the four girls of Duanmu had the apocalypse, and there would be a dragon in the area from the south to Huaizhou this month, so that the people would not go to the south and Huaizhou in the near future.

This official document was posted near several gates in the capital, which attracted many people to watch, and the people were suspicious and uncertain.

"Will there really be an earth dragon turning over?" A thin, middle-aged woman said uncertainly.

The other woman in blue beside her immediately accosted her: "Who knows! This sounds too mysterious! When I was younger, I had dreams of falling into the water, but I never saw me drowned, did I? ”

"Who are you, can you compare with the fourth girl of Duanmu?" An old woman in the back said angrily.

"That's it!" Another gray-clothed old man said matter-of-factly, "I also went to pray for rain at the Temple of Heaven last time, but I saw it with my own eyes, as soon as the fourth girl of Duanmu went to pray for rain, God immediately moved, thunder moved, and then it rained." ”

"Yes, that's right. I went too! The fourth girl of Duanmu was born with a phoenix fate, and what she said must be true. ”

“……”

Those people, you and I are talking word by word.

After all, Nanjing and Huaizhou are far away from the capital, thousands of miles away, except for those businessmen who hesitate to go to the south and abroad recently, most of the people in the capital just look at the excitement, and then guess whether the matter of Dilong's turning over will be true.

Comparatively speaking, having a general returning triumphantly is more attractive to them.

Soon someone shifted the topic to Xiao Tian: "Have you heard about it?" Jinzhou has been pacified, and the general soldier Xiao who has made great contributions is about to return to Beijing from Jinzhou in triumph. ”

"I've heard it, I've heard it!"

"I also heard that Mr. Xiao is young, not yet twenty! That's really a young talent, just like the reincarnation of the champion Hou! ”

"It's been a long time since the capital has been so lively, and the last time was when King Jian came back triumphantly."

"God bless me Dasheng, give me blessings again and again!"

"That is, the emperor is the purple microstar in the sky, and naturally there will be blessings to help, so that I will be prosperous and peaceful!"

“……”

The more the people talked, the more lively they became, and their simple faces were full of energy.

In the next few days, the affairs of Xiao Tian and Jinzhou were discussed in the capital, and some storytellers made up some anecdotes about the new emperor and Xiao Tian in the teahouse.

In this lively atmosphere, Xiao Tian led a team of two or three hundred people to arrive in the capital.

Duanmu Fei had already learned from Mu Yan when Xiao Tian would arrive in Beijing, and on this day, she rarely got up early and hurriedly went out.

Today, the Chu family wrapped up and down the entire Yunbin Restaurant near the South City Gate, just to welcome Xiao Tian back to Beijing. Duanmufei simply didn't book the location of other restaurants, and ran to rub a seat with Mrs. Chu.

She thought she had arrived early enough, but as a result, Mrs. Chu was even earlier than her, and she had already sat down on the second floor of Yunbin Restaurant.

Mrs. Chu wore a lilac-colored gourd vase pattern gown today, combed her silver hair into a bun, wore a pair of bamboo-style jasper hairpins, and sat by the window with a smile.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and she looks radiant today, with a warm smile in her eyes, and a kind and kind expression.

She was surrounded by seven or eight Chu family daughters, even the Chu family, Zhang Lan's mother and daughter, and several Chu family daughters who were married in the capital. The ladies were talking and laughing around Mrs. Chu like the stars and the moon, which was very lively and the atmosphere was warm and happy.

"Scarlet, come and sit down." Mrs. Chu beckoned to Duanmu Fei and beckoned her to sit down beside her.

Regarding the appearance of Duanmufei, the Chu family on the side was actually a little surprised, the people present today are all relatives of the Chu family, and Duanmufei is probably the only exception.

Mrs. Chu's concubines and daughters-in-law secretly exchanged glances, and their expressions were a little more dignified.

Duanmu Fei is the future queen, and her arrival represents the emperor's attitude, the emperor's respect for Xiao Tian, and the emperor's innocence of Xiao Tian's past.

In any case, this is a good thing for the Chu family.

Mrs. Chu didn't pay attention to their careful thoughts, she took Duanmufei's hand with a smile on her face, and said happily: "Xiaotian, this kid is really angry, and he finally lived up to the emperor's weight and pacified Jinzhou." ”

"yes." Chu Shi echoed with a smile on the side, "The tiger father has no dogs, and Xiaotian is as capable as a big brother!" ”

Mrs. Chu's concubines and daughters-in-law also nodded on the side, praising Xiao Tian in turn, and all kinds of praise were not repeated, and they were full of joy.

The atmosphere is getting more and more lively.

"Grandmother, I've seen my third brother play with a knife, it's amazing!" The ten-year-old Chu Ba girl said with great interest, "The third brother's kung fu is so powerful, those Jinzhou mountain bandits are naturally not his opponents. ”

"Eighth sister, what you said is wrong, fighting a war does not depend on one person's kung fu or not, but on the ability to lead the troops in battle! Otherwise, how could there be the word Confucian! Seven-year-old Chu Qigongzi retorted with a smile.

"......" Miss Chu was gagged by her younger brother, feeling that her younger brother had become more and more uncute since he entered the clan study, which made her deeply know what it means to be a "seven or eight-year-old dog".

It's better to be the third brother, who will teach her to kick the shuttlecock, and will help her climb trees to pick up paper kites, throw pots, pound pills and so on, and play amazingly!

"Why hasn't the third brother come yet...... Chu Ba girl stretched her neck and looked in the direction of the south city gate, her eyes shining.

Watching a few juniors bickering, the smile on Mrs. Chu's face deepened. When she is older, she likes the juniors to be so lively.

Chu smiled and said, "Mother, when Xiaotian comes back this time, it's time to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." ”

"yes. It's time for the kid to go home, too. Mrs. Chu smiled gently, and deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

The joy is beyond words.

Duanmu Fei listened silently on the side, smiling crookedly, his pupils shining brightly.

The scene in front of her made her feel familiar and distant, reminding her of the time when she was in the Chu family in the past.

The Chu family is very good, and the Duanmu family is also very good.

Now that she is Duanmufei, God has given her the opportunity to live a new life, so she should no longer envy what Chu Qingci embraces.

Now she has an older sister, a grandfather, a big brother and sister-in-law, and a little nephew...... Moreover, she also has Ah Yan.

Thinking of Mu Yan, Duanmufei's smile became even sweeter.

She already has a lot, and it is enough to be able to silently watch and guard the Chu family's grandparents and younger brother like now.

Heaven has been good enough for her, she can't be greedy.

The Buddha said: Everything has cause and effect, plant good cause to get good results, inaction is promising, doing is inaction, going with the flow is not forced.

Heaven has given her a chance to be reborn, it has been good enough for her, she can't be greedy anymore.

Duanmu pursed his lips and smiled, his clear eyes were like a clear spring, transparent and bright.

At this time, there was a commotion in the lobby on the first floor.

A boy of four or five years old was leaning his neck against the window, crying out in a milky voice: "Great-grandmother, come and see!" The third uncle is here! ”

"The third uncle is so majestic!"

On the streets, there was a commotion of people, and those people who were waiting to see the excitement also looked in the direction of the south city gate, shouting one after another:

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"Mr. Xiao, they're here!"

"The one who leads is Chief Xiao Bing, right?"

"Definitely! Sure enough, it's a talent. ”

“……”

The people were talking in a gossiping voice, and the whole south street was boiling like boiling hot water.

As soon as Mrs. Chu heard that Xiao Tian was coming, she couldn't wait to stand up with the support of the Chu family, "Let's go down and have a look." ”

The other ladies of the Chu family also didn't care about talking, and got up one after another.

Duanmu Fei also went down the stairs with him.

In the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, there are all the sons and daughters of the Chu family and their cousins.

A group of young people gathered together, and there was endless things to say, which seemed to be full of life.

At this moment, their eyes were all looking at the south city gate, their eyes focused and shining.

Today's weather is clear, and the golden sunlight is softly sprinkled, coating everything around it with a soft halo.

Xiao Tianze, who was dressed in a blue robe, walked at the forefront, without armor or a sword, if he hadn't returned with his troops at this moment, I am afraid that no one would have guessed that he was the Jinzhou general soldier who quelled the Jinju rebellion before the weak crown.

Just like when Duanmu Fei first saw Xiao Tian in the horse market, he smiled casually, smiling kindly and harmlessly, as if whether he was the owner of Taichu Village, or the chief soldier of Jinzhou, or a member of the imperial court, he was still him, and these external identities and names had not left any traces on him.

He's good like this.

Duanmu Fei stared at Xiao Tian deeply.

Behind Xiao Tian was a group of cavalry and the elite of the firecracker battalion, and there was also a prisoner cart in the team, and in the prisoner cart was a young man wearing shackles and prison clothes.

This team is so powerful that it is the center of attention of everyone on the street.

The people on the side of the road were even more excited, pointing at Xiao Tian and Yang Xuyao in the prisoner car, admiring the former and spitting on the latter.

However, Duanmu Fei's eyes only saw Xiao Tian alone.

Her brother has returned safely, and her brother has returned home!

If the father and mother had a spirit in heaven, they would have rested!

Duanmu stared at Xiao Tian without blinking, his eyes were slightly moist, the corners of his lips were higher and higher, and he had a feeling in his heart: Xiao Tian returned this time, and he really "went home".

Mrs. Chu also looked at Xiao Tian intently, her voice was slightly hoarse, as if she was muttering to herself: "This child is thin and dark...... Spirit. ”

Chu Shi took Mrs. Chu's arm and comforted him on the side: "Mother, Xiaotian is back anyway, you can make up for him again, don't be afraid that he won't be fat!" ”

"It's okay to have black spots, boys, black spots are spirit! Look at our little sky, that's called heroic! ”

As he spoke, there was another commotion in the street outside.

I don't know who started it, but a big red peony flower was thrown towards Xiao Tian from the crowd.

Xiao Tianna is not an ordinary person, how could he be successfully attacked, he put the peony flower on his fingertips without looking at it.

This action was extremely chic, and the people on both sides of the street burst into warm applause and cheers.

As a result, more and more people had the courage to throw things at Xiao Tian, not only flowers, but also handkerchiefs, silk flowers, sachets, fans, etc., all kinds of gadgets fell towards Xiao Tian like scattered flowers by the goddess.

However, no matter how many people lost them, these things were thrown on Xiao Tian's horse at most, but they never touched Xiao Tian for half a point.

There is also a bit of "ten thousand flowers in the bush, the leaves do not stick to the body" taste.

Duanmu Fei was full of interest, and he was a little eager to try, and he wanted to try to throw flowers over.

Not only Duanmu Fei thought so, but so did Miss Chuba, and the little girl said a little suffocatingly: "Oh, why didn't I wear a silk flower!" ”

Oh, yes. Duanmu nodded approvingly.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both smiled, smiling like flowers.

Chu simply ordered Xiao Er in the restaurant to hurry up and get some flowers.

At this time, an old woman in her fifties with a rust-colored gown smiled at Mrs. Chu and said, "Sister-in-law, I see that Xiaotian looks good like this, the little girl's family must like it, you have to choose a daughter-in-law for him." He should have been a father at his age. ”

At first glance, the old woman's tone seemed to be mentioned because she felt something about this situation, but after careful tasting, her words seemed to have a bit of inquiring.

"......" was as shrewd as the Chu family, and immediately heard the meaning of the third aunt's words, and raised his eyebrows.

Since the fifth day of the fourth month, the old lady Chu showed Xiao Tian's life experience in the Jinluan Palace, this matter spread in the capital's mansions on the same day, and some mansions knew that Xiao Tian was the grandson of the Chu family, so they moved their minds.

These people are all human spirits, and they know that if Xiao Tian does not have the Chu family, no matter how brilliant his military exploits are, it is useless to use him or abandon him, and it is a matter of the emperor's words; But with the Chu family as Xiao Tian's support, it is another matter entirely, it is certain that Xiao Tian should not be unloaded and killed by the emperor, and his future is not a problem.

Xiao Tian has a family background and military exploits, and he should be the pride of the sky, but he has been lost for more than ten years, mixed with recklessness, and even been a mountain bandit leader, this identity is somewhat embarrassing, so those mansions are "reluctant" to concubines, and they all use concubines or partial branches to inquire about family affairs.

The Chu family naturally saw that those mansions were playing wishful thinking, and secretly sneered: their Chu family never married the royal family, otherwise the men of the Chu family would be worthy of being princesses. These people want to use concubines to marry Xiao Tian, who do they look down on! Are you kidding!!

Of course, Mrs. Chu also understood what the concubine was listening to, and she also knew the plans of those mansions.

She stroked her sleeves elegantly, but she didn't say a word, and her gentle and loving eyes still looked at Xiao Tian on the street outside.

Seeing that Mrs. Chu didn't speak, Mrs. Chu Santai felt as if there was a feather scratching in her heart: What does she mean by this sister-in-law? Xiao Tian always wants to marry a daughter-in-law, she is so penetrating, other families can also consider it, right?

Knowing his mother Mo Ruonu, Chu keenly saw something from Mrs. Chu's expression, and her heart moved: Could it be Xiaotian's marriage, and her mother already has a candidate?

Chu Shi grabbed the handkerchief and smiled at Mrs. Chu playfully: "Mother, although I have only seen this child a few times, I can see it, this child's vision is extremely high, and he is afraid that he will not look down on this ordinary girl's family, right?" ”

"......" The corners of Mrs. Chu's eyes twitched, and she couldn't tell if Chu was joking or deliberately saying it to herself. Xiao Tian's vision is extremely high, isn't her niece hinting that Xiao Tian doesn't look down on those girls?

Mrs. Chu's eyes narrowed with a smile, and she nodded: "Xiaotian, this kid is assertive. ”

She said unclearly, but Chu Shi seemed to hear a little taste, and said secretly: Or, it's not that my mother has a candidate, but which girl Xiaotian has fallen in love with? Looking at the mother's appearance, she should be extremely satisfied with that girl.

Chu Shi was also a little curious about the identity of that girl in his heart, but unfortunately the current occasion was really inappropriate, so he could only press it first.

Mrs. Chu was very disappointed, but she felt that Mrs. Chu had said something and didn't say it, and she wanted to test a few more words, but was interrupted by an excited "third uncle".

Xiao Tian happened to ride a horse in front of Yunbin Restaurant, and the juniors of the Chu family had long forgotten the dignified Sven on weekdays, and they all shouted "Third Brother", "Third Brother", "Third Uncle" in their voices, and some people even threw the flowers brought by Xiao Tian at Xiao Tian, and it rained again on the street.

Xiao Tian heard the movement of the restaurant, so he turned his head to look this way, he shook the peony flower in his hand, smiled, and was full of spirit.

Looking at her smiling grandson, Mrs. Chu's heart instantly settled.

Although she had long known that her grandson was coming back, and although she had long known that her grandson was safe and sound, there was always a trace of apprehension in the depths of her heart, worried that her grandson would not want to return to the Chu family, and now her heart was settled.

In fact, Xiao Tian denied that his ancestors returned to his ancestors, and it didn't matter whether he was surnamed Chu or not, the key was in his heart, how he looked at the Chu family, and whether he was willing to treat the Chu family as his home.

Mrs. Chu finally had an answer.

Her grandson is really "back".

Mrs. Chu's eyes were slightly red, and she smiled, relieved and happy.

On the street, Xiao Tian rode away in the rain of flowers, and the prisoner car and a group of soldiers behind him also faded away with him and disappeared at the end of the street......

On this day, Xiao Tian is a well-deserved protagonist.

He entered Beijing with a great record to restore his life, and stepped on the Jinluan Hall for the first time in the scorching eyes of civil and military officials, with a look neither humble nor arrogant, and people couldn't help but feel that he was worthy of being the descendant of the century-old hairpin family.

The new emperor rewarded the meritorious deeds on the spot, not only exempted Yuan Tai Chuzhai and others from all charges and never held them accountable, but also named Xiao Tian as the Marquis of Changxing, concurrently served as the chief soldier of Jinzhou, and took charge of Jinzhou's military affairs, and went to Jinzhou to take office a month later.

Other people in the original Taichuzhai also drafted a charter with the Ministry of War to reward meritorious deeds.

On this day, the Chu family was overjoyed.

After Xiao Tian left the palace, he was taken back to the Xuanguo Mansion by several sons of the Chu family, and the Chu family held a lively dust-washing banquet for Xiao Tian.

Mu Yan also deliberately put the celebration banquet of the imperial court three days later, he went to pick up Duanmu Fei first, and the two happily went to Chu's house for the banquet.

When Duanmu Fei and Mu Yan arrived, the Chu family was lively, and a housekeeper came to greet the two respectfully, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the fourth girl of Duanmu, the ancestral hall has opened at home today, and the third young master wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors." ”

My younger brother is finally willing to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors! Duanmu Fei's eyes widened slightly.

Mu Yan raised his long eyebrows, smiled and waved his hand to the housekeeper, "It's important to get down to business, you don't have to go to the old lady Chu." ”

The housekeeper responded with a smile, and led the two to the main hall of the front yard to sit down, they did not dare to snub the two distinguished guests, poured tea and water, and talked with them.

"......" Duanmu Fei was a little absent-minded, and even forgot to drink tea.

She was very surprised, her younger brother always smiled and smiled on weekdays, but in fact, he was stubborn and defensive, he was still very stubborn before he left Beijing last year, and he always felt that they were mistaken, and he always felt that he was not the Chu family.

It seems that this trip to Jinju, the younger brother's gain is not only to quell the Jinju Rebellion, but also to stay away from the capital in the past few months, but also to give him time and space to think calmly.

In addition to being surprised, Duanmu Fei was more happy.

Her brother is back!

Not only Duanmu Fei, but even the old lady Chu and his wife who were in the Chu ancestral hall at the moment were actually quite surprised.

Today, Xiao Tian returned triumphantly, seeing that he was in a good mood, Mrs. Chu tentatively mentioned the matter of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, at that time, Mrs. Chu still felt that Mrs. Chu was too anxious, and the couple did not expect Xiao Tian to agree.

Last year, before Xiao Tian left the capital, in fact, the old lady Chu had also mentioned this matter, and that time Xiao Tian refused without saying a word.

This time, he actually agreed!

Old lady Chu was afraid that Xiao Tian would regret it when he woke up, so he hurriedly ordered someone to open the ancestral hall.

Anyway, in order to wash Xiao Tian's dust today, the elders of the Chu clan are also there, and it is just right for the clan elders to testify and revise the family tree.

Xiao Tianzheng knelt in front of the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, looking up at the countless tablets in front of him.

The Chu family is a two-hundred-year-old hairpin family, with a long history, standing tall in the change of dynasties several times through wind and rain, from the previous dynasty to the current dynasty, the children of the clan do not know how many Jinshi and Confucianism, on the altar of the table, those tablets are stacked up layer upon layer like terraces.

Xiao Tian had never seen so many tablets at one time in his life, and he was still a little confused.

Do the people in the capital think so much about doing things?

————

If it weren't for the second child who made trouble when he was hired, Xian would not have acquiesced that he was here to make trouble again, and for the second child, thinking that Xian was shielding him if he didn't see him, he thought that he did it.

It was Yang who caused the trouble when he was hired, and now he goes to Duanmu's house to "beg" the imperial doctor, which is also hinted at by Yang, in order to create the current situation.

The plot is going down layer by layer, and there is really no delay......

Of course, Yang's intentions were more than that.
