Chapter 113: Arrival
The ancestral home of the Yan family is in Changyi County.
Changyi belongs to Laizhou, and is close to Dengzhou, and is adjacent to Laizhou Bay in the west.
In the past, when Dachu had not yet implemented the policy of banning the sea, the two states of Denglai were the main trade routes for small countries such as Goryeo and Japan.
The Great Chu had sent the governor of Denglai to train sailors in Laizhou Bay to combat the increasingly rampant pirates and the small states with ambitions that coveted the Great Chu.
At the beginning of Shen, Hua Jin and his entourage entered Changyi County.
This is a place with completely different customs from Texas, Huajin lifted the curtain, you can feel that although it is also a cold winter, the climate is not as dry as Texas.
Yan Shaoning came alive again, lifted the curtain and pointed to Hua Chen in the distance, "Little nephew, we're going home." ”
Hua Chen looked out along Yan Shaoning's hand, looking at the buildings as quaint as Texas, but it made him feel that there was a sense of vicissitudes that had gone through the changes of the times.
Yan Shaoning saw the family sent by the mansion to pick them up, Steward Liu from the outer courtyard of the Yan Mansion.
"Uncle Liu." Yan Shaoning poked his head out of the window and shouted.
Hua Jin heard the voice and followed Yan Shaoning's gaze to see a kind middle-aged man.
When this Steward Liu saw Yan Shaoning's person, he immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he saw him covering the wound on his arm, his face instantly became solemn again, "Master, your injury ......"
Although the young Yan Shaoning was called the master, which made Hua Jin sound a little awkward, she could still see that the steward's care for the little uncle was not only the servant's respect for the master, but also the care of relatives.
Hua Jin looked at Chen's mother, who was also sitting in the carriage and was married from the Yan Mansion.
How many loyal servants can there be, the family style of the Yan family must not be bad.
Yan Shaoning jumped out of the carriage, Steward Liu had already taken a step forward and dismounted to catch up with him, "Old man......" He took Yan Shaoning's arm and looked at it carefully, "Is the injury serious?" ”
Yan Shaoning shook his head indifferently, "What is this injury?" ”
Steward Liu sighed, "Master, don't sneak out next time." Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Dame should be in a hurry! ”
Yan Shaoning smiled and nodded, and Manager Liu looked helpless.
Hua Jin thought that there should have been several conversations between the master and servant.
At this time, she looked at Yan Shaoning's face exposed to the sun, and she could only smile helplessly, her little uncle was really a rebellious version of a hot-blooded teenager.
Steward Liu stepped forward to salute Hua Chen and Hua Jin, and then led the convoy to Yan's mansion.
Although Changyi is only a county, the silk town in the north, when the sea was opened, almost every family here was engaged in maritime silk trade, which was considered a rich and noble county.
Although the sea ban is now in place, the heritage here is still there.
Therefore, when the carriage turned into Baihua Lane, where large households live in Changyi, the ancient mansion communities are much more magnificent than Taiping Lane, where Zhangfu is located.
Because of the leadership of Steward Liu, the concierge quickly opened the east corner gate, and a group of carriages and horses entered the Yan Mansion from the corner gate, and stopped in front of the hanging flower gate of the second courtyard through the outer courtyard.
"It's Zhangfu's carriage that has arrived!" The mother-in-law guarding the second gate said with a smile.
"It's the princess." Hearing the familiar voice, Mother Chen, who was timid in her hometown, suddenly had an irrepressible look of excitement on her face, "You entered the Yan Mansion with me back then." ”
She lifted the curtain, but she didn't forget Hua Hui and Hua Jin in the car, "Second aunt, fifth girl, let the old slave help you get out of the car." ”
Hua Jin smiled and pointed to Bai Tao and Zhi Tao, "With the two of them, Mother Chen won't take care of me and my sister, go and catch up with old friends!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the princess say again: "Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai have come to pick up the young master and the girl in person, and they will be at the second gate soon." ”
Hearing this, Zhi Tao cleverly jumped out of the carriage, and then let go of the pedal, letting Bai Tao get out of the carriage first. The two helped Chen's mother again, and finally Hua Hui and Hua Jin.
As soon as Hua Jin's feet fell to the ground, he heard an old voice trembling slightly: "But my brother Chen and Jin'er ......."
Hua Jin, Hua Chen, and Hua Hui looked at the voice at the same time, and saw a kind old woman with a pale face looking at them with tears in her eyes, as if she had stood here and looked at them for a long time, and there was a sadness that wanted to be pierced.
Just when she saw them, she quickly smiled hopefully, as if they were her sun, the sun that could drive away that sad ray.
Hua Huidou's big tears rolled out all of a sudden, "Grandmother, Hui'er is also here." ”
"It's all here." Old Madam Yan bowed her head, "Okay...... Okay......" She couldn't control her emotions anymore, and stepped forward with difficulty to hold the three of them in her arms, "How many years have grandmothers been looking forward to you!" Her tears flowed uncontrollably, and her slightly thin body trembled even more.
Hua Chen and Hua Jin nestled in her arms, and they also had mixed feelings for a while.
They can understand Mrs. Yan, who lost her daughter, and they have more emotional sustenance in addition to their concern.
They are also willing to give this kind grandmother an emotional home.
At this time, Hua Chen and Hua Jin also unconsciously circled her tightly with their arms.
"Mother, you are still sick, why are you crying when you stand outside in the cold?" A young woman said words of comfort, but in the end they turned into sobs.
Yan Shaoning stomped his feet with a sigh, "Mother, sister-in-law, it's a good thing that they are here, why are you all crying?" ”
Immediately after that, a girl's voice reassured, "Grandmother, mother, stop crying. It's good to be reunited! ”
Mrs. Yan finally stopped sobbing and let go of the jaw that was holding their arms tightly, "It's a good thing. ”
The girl stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe away her tears for Mrs. Yan, "Grandmother, don't hurt yourself again." ”
Hua Jin looked at the girl who looked a few years older than herself, and saw that she was wearing a crimson soft wool brocade cloak, describing herself as dignified and beautiful, with a graceful posture, and she was an outstanding lady.
It should be Yan Yuke, the daughter of the Yan family in Chen's mother's mouth.
And standing next to Mrs. Yan is a beautiful woman who is delicate and soft, slightly rounded, but her face is as white and clear as a pearl, it should be her aunt Jiang.
Seeing Hua Jin coming over, she covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and smiled warmly, "Look at me, the light is crying here." ”
At this time, Hua Hui took Hua Jin and Hua Chen to take a step back slightly and saluted Mrs. Yan and the Jiang family.
Aunt Jiang stepped forward and grabbed Hua Hui and Hua Jin's hands, and pointed to the girl just now, "This is Ke'er." ”
Yan Yuke bowed down, "Cousin Hui'er, cousin Huachen, cousin Jin'er." ”
It wasn't until Yan Yuke moved out of the way that Hua Jin saw clearly that there were still two teenagers standing in front of the Hanging Flower Gate at this time.
Among them, who is shorter and has a somewhat similar face to Yan Shaoning, is naturally his cousin Yan Yuxi.
But who is the strange boy who is standing there with a straight posture, a calm face full of calmness, and a heroic spirit that people can't ignore?
