Zhang Yue sat in the carriage, remembering all the scenes of coming to Zunhua with his uncle eight years ago, and now he was finally able to go home to see his father and younger brothers, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Xiaotong in the car was very excited, and for a while he lifted the curtain to chat with Jin Cheng, and for a while pointed to the scenery outside the car and pulled Zhang Yue to ask questions.

Jin Cheng and the three of them walked for a total of nine days, and finally arrived in the capital, Jin Cheng drove the carriage to the door of the house left in his sister's letter.

Zhang Yue got out of the car and looked up, the house in front of him was not big, it was just an ordinary house in the capital, but it was more than twice as big as the house in Xingji's hometown.

Jin Cheng tied up the carriage. Seeing an old man in gray sweeping the leaves at the door, he stepped forward and said, "Brother, is this Zhang Luan's house?" ”

The gray-clothed old man looked up at them, "Yes, this is Master Zhang's house, are you?" ”

Jin Cheng said, "Under Jin Cheng, Zhang Luan's brother-in-law, please report that Jin Cheng is back with Yue'er." ”

Jin Cheng's voice was loud, and as soon as he shouted at the door, he could hear it clearly in the courtyard, and he heard a woman inside shouting loudly, "Is it Ah Cheng and Yue'er who have arrived?" ”

As she spoke, a middle-aged woman, with an obvious figure, walked out quickly in a royal blue dress.

When Zhang Yue saw it, it was her mother-in-law Jin, she saw that Jin's face had obviously aged a lot, her heart was sour, she rushed forward and hugged her mother-in-law,

"Mother, Yue'er is back. Yue'er misses you so much! ”

"My Yue'er! Mother misses you too! Mother and daughter hugged each other.

At this moment, three more people came out of the courtyard, the first one was over forty years old, with a round face and big eyes, a beard on his forehead, and a scholarly appearance, it was Zhang Yue's father Zhang Luan, and the tall one behind him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man, handsome. The short one was a seven- or eight-year-old boy with big eyes staring curiously at Zhang Yue and Jin.

When Zhang Luan saw his daughter, he was also a little excited, and shouted, "Yue'er! ”

Zhang Yue looked up and saw that his father's temples were already a little white, and he choked up in his mouth,

"Daddy!"

The two teenagers shouted in unison,

"Big sister!"

Zhang Yue saw that these must be two younger brothers, and they were already so old, and he was even more excited.

Jin Cheng was also moved by the side, and hurriedly persuaded him,

"Sister, let the children into the house first!"

Jin took Zhang Yue's hand, and everyone entered the house and sat down.

Jin looked at Zhang Yue carefully, sighed, and said, "Ah Cheng, sister wants to thank you, Yue'er is obviously living a good life with you, otherwise how could she be so good now." ”

Jin Cheng hurriedly said beside him, "Sister, Yue'er is a good child, she has brought me and Qiao Niang great joy over the years, and it is right for us to be good to her as a husband and wife." When she went home this time, Qiao Niang was extremely reluctant. ”

Jin wiped his tears and hurriedly said, "Yes, in the past few years, you have worked hard with Qiao Niang." ”

"Sister, being able to take care of Yue'er for a few years is also a blessing for our husband and wife!"

Jin suddenly remembered something, wiped away his tears, and asked, "Ah Cheng, over the years, thanks to your continuous sending of silver to my sister, our days will get better and better." My sister has always wanted to ask you, where did you get all this silver when you were a fast catcher? ”

Zhang Yue's heart became nervous, and he peeked at his uncle. Jin Cheng explained unhurriedly, "Sister, what are you talking about, you are my own sister, my mother died early, when I was young, you had the grace of nurturing me, and I should honor your silver all these years." You can rest assured, these silver are all the official rewards I received from solving the case by the thief, and the money comes cleanly. ”

Jin nodded and said, "Of course my sister believes in you, Ah Cheng is the most capable." ”

Zhang Yue saw that her mother believed her uncle's words, dispelled her doubts, and was relieved.

Zhang Luan sat on the top seat, his heart had calmed down at this time, pointed to the two teenagers, and said to Zhang Yue, "Yue'er, this is your eldest brother Heling, the year you left, he was only five years old, and now he is thirteen years old, and he has just been admitted to Tongsheng, that is your little brother Yanling, who is eight years old this year, studying in a private school." You two have come and met the eldest sister. ”

The second teenager hurried over and gave Zhang Yue a salute,

"Heling (Trillium) has seen the eldest sister."

Zhang Yue walked over, hugged his two younger brothers, and gestured in his hands, "Heling, when my sister left, you were so tall, and now you are all manly, and so is Trillium, when my sister left, you were still in swaddling clothes." ”

Seeing that their sister was so beautiful and kind, Heling and Yanling liked it very much, and surrounded their sister and kept talking. Zhang Luan and Jin watched from the side, although the three sisters and brothers had not seen each other for many years, they were still close and very happy.

Xiaotong watched the family reunion from the sidelines, and was also moved to wipe only tears.

Seeing that Zhang Yue had brought a strange little girl, Jin hurriedly asked, "Yue'er, who is this girl?" ”

Zhang Yue thought that he hadn't introduced Xiaotong, and hurriedly took Xiaotong's hand, "Daddy, mother, this is Xiaotong." As he spoke, he secretly gave his uncle a look.

Jin Cheng hurriedly explained beside him, "Oh, sister and brother-in-law, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of Yue'er, so I specially bought a maid Xiaotong to take care of her, and the two of them are like sisters." When I came back this time, I would follow me and continue to take care of Yue'er. ”

Xiao Tong knelt down, kowtowed to Zhang Luan Jin, and shouted, "Xiao Tong see the master, the lady, the two little masters." ”

Jin said softly in his nose, "Get up, look clever, our Zhang family has arrived in the capital, the house is big, and we have to hire people." You can stay and continue to serve the young lady. ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Yes." Jin immediately stopped talking to Xiaotong and continued to chat with Jin Cheng and Zhang Yue, and then the Zhang family warmly entertained Jin Cheng for dinner, and Jin asked Zhang Yue about Zhang Yue's life at his uncle's house at the dinner. Fortunately, Jin Cheng and Zhang Yue had already prepared before, and the two answered tacitly.

In the early morning of the second day, Jin Cheng said goodbye and returned to Zunhua, and Zhang Yue was naturally reluctant to say goodbye.

In this way, Zhang Yue settled down at home, chatted with his mother every day, and helped his mother do some housework with Xiaotong. Slowly, I learned about the situation at home.

It turned out that over the years, the silver taels mailed to the family in the name of my uncle, my mother and relatives used it to buy land, and then sublet it out, and the annual rent received was a lot, and the situation at home was much better than before, and the younger brothers were also older, and my mother also hired two servants to help with housework.

Zhang Yue's eldest uncle Zhang Qi had a very good official fortune in the capital, and some time ago, he recommended Zhang Luan to be a student of Guozijian, and Zhang Luan sold all the real estate, and the family went to the capital to buy a house and live a new life.

After the Zhang family arrived in Beijing, they naturally often went to Zhang Qi's house to walk around, Zhang Qi asked many times about his favorite niece Zhang Yue, and the husband and wife discussed privately, and many things in the capital in the future will rely on Zhang Qi, since people like the eldest daughter so much, it is better to call the eldest daughter back, and through Zhang Qi to the daughter to climb a high family, to add help to the future of the two sons.

After Zhang Yue learned about the cause and effect, she was a little disappointed in her parents, she thought that her parents missed their daughter, so she wrote to her to come back, it turned out that all this was more for her two younger brothers. What is your future path? Do you want to marry according to your parents' arrangement? Zhang Yue didn't have a clue yet, and after discussing with Xiaotong and the others, he thought that he would only have to meet Li Dongyang first before making plans.
