Chapter 6 The old man is reunited, and the son returns home

"Childe, you're back, and the monarch has been waiting at the post house for a long time." As soon as Chen Xiang returned to the door of the post house from outside, Lu Zhu hurriedly greeted him, and it seemed that he should have been waiting at the door for a long time. Chen Xiang hurriedly entered the post house, and when he came to the living room, he found that the monarch had been pacing back and forth in the living room, looking very anxious, and when he saw Chen Xiang coming in, he couldn't wait to catch up and hold Chen Xiang's hand, and said excitedly: "Ji Gongzi, you are back, after I took the medicine you gave a few days ago, I was really refreshed and energetic. But today, the king felt weak and dizzy, so he came to see if Ji Gongzi's medicine had been refined. After hearing this, Chen Xiang slowly took out the medicine box from his arms, and the monarch's eyes immediately lit up when he saw this, and he couldn't wait to grab the medicine box and swallow it immediately, Chen Xiang waved his hand and said: "The king can't be in a hurry, this medicine is too strong, and it must be slowly adjusted with alcohol, otherwise it will be life-threatening." Chen Xiang mixed the medicine thoroughly, and said while feeding the medicine: "King, this medicine is not perfect enough, it can only help the king to recuperate, and it cannot completely cure the king's illness. The monarch hurriedly said: "No way, the state affairs are busy, the state affairs are busy, the state affairs are busy, hahaha." ”

After the medicine was completed, the monarch regained his vigor, thanked Chen Xiang and left satisfied. Seeing the monarch leaving, Lu Zhu came in with a bowl of sour plum soup, "Childe is tired all the way, the weather is hot, hurry up and drink a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat." Chen Xiang smiled: "Thank you Luzhu." As he spoke, he took the sour plum soup and drank it all. Seeing that Chen Xiang had finished drinking, Luzhu hurriedly took the bowl and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe the soup oozing from the corner of Chen Xiang's mouth.

On this day, Chen Xiang was reading in the study, and suddenly heard Lu Zhu come in and report: "Son, someone from the palace asks you to enter the palace quickly." Chen Xiang asked, "Do you know what's going on, so urgent?" Lu Zhu shook his head and said nothing, and hurriedly arranged for Chen Xiang to bathe and change clothes, and after he was dressed neatly, he led Chen Xiang out to see the messenger, who stood outside the door like an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw Chen Xiang come out, he hurriedly pulled Chen Xiang into the carriage regardless of etiquette.

When I came to the palace, I saw a man sitting next to the monarch, although he looked a little old, but he exuded a heroic spirit.

"Brother Ji Kang, why don't you remember your brother after not seeing him for a few years?" The old man laughed. Chen Xiang heard a familiar voice and blurted out excitedly: "Brother Chong'er, is it you?" "Yes, this old man is Chong'er, but now he is no longer the down-and-out son who is swaying around, but the king of the Jin Kingdom who has just succeeded to the throne. Chong'er smiled and beckoned Chen Xiang to go up, Chen Xiang rushed up, held Chong'er's hand tightly, and couldn't speak excitedly, Chong'er also looked at each other speechlessly, just hugged Chen Xiang tightly. After a long time, Chong'er turned around and said to Zheng Guojun: "Brother Ji Kang is my best friend, and he has been a guest in your Zheng Kingdom for a long time. Zheng Guojun hurriedly replied: "That's excellent." ”

Chong'er affectionately pulled Chen Xiang off the throne, and just walked outside the main hall, he suddenly turned his head and said to Zheng Guojun: "The king's reputation for hospitality spreads far and wide, and Ji Gongzi has been a guest in your country for many years, and he will leave for China with me tomorrow. Zheng Guojun said yes again and again, Chen Xiang and Chong'er returned to the post house, as soon as they arrived at the post house, they saw that Luzhu was already waiting outside the door, Chong'er smiled when he saw Luzhu: "I haven't seen you for many years, Luzhu girl is much more beautiful again." Lu Zhu was overjoyed, looked at it, seemed familiar, and saw that the son was so affectionate with him, so he asked, "Aren't you a heavy-eared son?" Chen Xiang and Chong'er laughed, and Lu Zhu hurriedly ushered them indoors. Chen Xiang and Chong'er haven't seen each other for many years, and they have a thousand words, and the two have been chatting until the sun is waning and the eyebrows on the moon are not yet happy, until Chong'er's personal guard reminds him that it is time to go back.

Chong'er had just left the inn, Chen Xiang was tired after a busy day, and was about to untie his clothes, when he suddenly heard that Jia Ding reported that Zheng Guojun was visiting, and Chen Xiang had to redress his clothes and go out to meet guests. When he came to the living room, Zheng Guojun came forward and said with a smile: "Ji Gongzi is going back tomorrow, this king thinks of the friendship between us over the years, and I think I am very reluctant, but Gongzi wants to return to China to fulfill his filial piety, even if this king is reluctant, he does not dare to stop this righteousness." It's just that the son is gone, how is the king's illness good. Chen Xiang smiled slightly, ordered someone to take a large medicine box, handed it to the monarch, and said: "The king's medicine, this son has already prepared, presumably the king will be cured after taking these ten pills." The monarch was overjoyed and hurriedly wanted to reach out to take it, but Chen Xiang raised the medicine box slightly, and said with a smile: "My son has worked hard for these ten pills, and the king wants to reward me well." The monarch hurriedly said: "That's natural, today I have promised me in the main hall that I will be the king of the Jin Kingdom, and tomorrow I will give you a great gift." Chen Xiang said: "Thank you King, but I still want to exchange these ten pills for the Wind Bead I gave to the King back then, I don't know what the King wants?" The monarch hurriedly replied: "It was originally the child's thing, and now the prince has returned to China, and he will return it as the original." Chen Xiang laughed.

The next day, Chen Xiang and Chong'er set off in the same car, Zheng Guojun and all the ministers went out of the city to see each other, the scene was grand and grand, Xinzheng City was empty of thousands of people, people rushed out, scrambling to see the style of the legendary Jin monarch.

The army marched all the way, and soon came to the city of Huacheng, and the monarch of Huaguo had already led hundreds of officials to greet the prime minister outside the city after receiving the news. I saw a gorgeous car slowly coming, and a person walked down from the car, seeing that it was Ji Kang who had been absent for many years, the old monarch suddenly burst into tears, rushed forward and hugged Chen Xiang tightly, whimpering for a long time, at this time Chong'er also got off the car, Chen Xiang hurriedly introduced: "Father, this is the king of the Jin Kingdom." When the old monarch heard this, he immediately held back his tears, hurriedly bowed his hand, and hurriedly held on, and hurriedly said: "The monarch doesn't have to be polite, I and Ji Kang's son are like brothers, and I should salute the monarch." The old monarch was very happy, and immediately ordered people to go back to the palace to have a big feast, and the group came to the palace, and sat down with the guests of honor, and then drank heartily, and talked very happily, and the old monarch was even more excited, and choked up several times during the banquet, and laughed out loud several times, because the son who he thought about day and night finally came back safe and sound.
