The tea cool ancient road in May, the shade of the trees is arrayed, full of vitality, and there is really some coolness.

Xiang Chaohai sat in the pavilion with a calm expression, while the second lady Xiang who was standing next to her looked eager, and kept looking towards the end of the ancient road.

Xiang Shaofei stood upright at the intersection like a javelin.

"Don't be in a hurry, say that it will arrive today, and it will definitely arrive today, just wait patiently. Xiang Chaohai said to the second lady calmly.

The second lady said: "I haven't seen him in real person, and the concubine is still nervous in her body and mind, and she can't be as calm as her husband." ”

Xiang Chaohai shook his head and said, "The letter said that he had a broken arm, and he would meet later, so don't mention it." ”

"Yes, husband. ”

About another tea time, the figure of the convoy finally appeared in the distance, the second lady Xiang clenched her fists, clenched the handkerchief in her hand hard, nervous, Xiang Chaohai reached out to hold the second lady's hand, rarely showed a trace of tenderness, looked at her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

The second lady nodded.

After a while, when the carriage approached, the coachman grabbed the reins, jumped off the carriage, bowed to Xiang Shaofei, and asked, "May I ask the little general, but you are here to greet the little general Xiang Qi?"

Xiang Shaofei said: "Yes, where are the others?"

Before Xiang Shaofei could speak, he heard someone call him "big brother", and when he looked up, he saw that it was the second brother Xiang Qi who got down from the carriage.

Xiang Shaofei's temperament and personality are quite fatherly, he is not smiling on weekdays, old-fashioned and serious, among his family peers, except for his younger sister Xiang Qiuluo, who is studying art in Lishan, he is not afraid of him, other younger brothers and sisters, including Xiang Qi, are somewhat in awe of him.

Xiang Shaofei stared at his younger brother for a while, his face trembled slightly imperceptibly, and then said, "Go and see my father and Erniang." ”

Xiang Qi nodded and walked to the pavilion, Second Mrs. Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and grabbed her son's right arm and left sleeve, and cried loudly.

Xiang Qi's tears also fell suddenly. With a tearful smile, he said, "Mother." I am back. ”

Second Mrs. Xiang nodded and cried for a while, Xiang Chaohai looked at the mother and son and didn't say anything. But Xiang Shaofei saw his cuffs trembling when he saw his father raise his hand.

"Today your father and eldest brother know that you are back. I'm all here to pick you up, and Qiuluo will come back from Lishan tomorrow. Second Mrs. Xiang wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and kept her eyes fixed on her son's face. I found that my son was much more mature than before.

Xiang Qi patted his mother lightly, and then walked up to his father. knelt on the ground and saluted: "Meet my father, Father Lao will come to greet him personally." The son was ashamed. ”

Xiang Qi's words surprised everyone present, such a style of action. Is it the same person as the rough and stiff General Xiang who twisted when he saw his father?

Xiang Chaohai was relieved: "Get up, you should have suffered a lot these days, right?"

Xiang Qi said: "There are hardships and gains. ”

Xiang Chaohai nodded. Said: "It's good to have it, go back." ”

Xiang Qi stepped aside, went to support his mother, and then the family went home.

The news of Xiang Qi's return to Chang'an soon spread throughout the city, after all, he was too famous in the battle with Chen Daoliu, and was later rumored to be dead, which angered Xiang Chaohai, and General Xiang almost took Xiang's army to Liang State.

Now that Xiang Qi has come back from the dead and returned to Chang'an, how can people not be shocked, it was from Chen Rentu's hands that escaped for his life.

After Xiang Qi returned to the General's Mansion, Yang Qice and Yang Lingyao finally persuaded their mother to rush from the Prime Minister's Mansion. After talking about Jiang Zhong, Xiang Qi expressed his determination to go to Liang to help Jiang Zhong, Yang Qice saw that this sworn brother had matured to this point, he was happy and emotional, so he told Xiang Qi about the conversation with Jiang Zhong in Zhu Pavilion that day, Xiang Qi heard it, and his ambition was even higher, and he immediately said: "Although I only have one arm left, I will do my best to assist the second brother." ”

Yang Qice said: "The second brother has the world in mind, and the plot is very big, this matter must be done step by step, if I expected, next year's big competition, once the second brother repeats the courage in the holy temple, he will completely disclose his identity as the seventh prince of Jiang Guo, before that, Xiaoqi, you have to pave the way for him with me in Chang'an." ”

Xiang Qi thought for a while and said, "Boss Yang, what you mean, tell the prime minister and father." ”

Yang Qice said: "There are still everyone. ”

"Fang everyone?"

"Yes, these days, I have been in contact with Mr. Li Ruoyu, a close disciple of the Fang family, and asked him for advice on Wendao. ”

"It's still Boss Yang who thinks thoughtfully. ”

"After Zhu Ge's talk, the covenant is completed, of course, things have to be done step by step, and now that I know that you are back, I really believe that God has already arranged this sentence, I think, the joke we said together when we were children, now it is going to come true. ”

Xiang Qi's eyes shone brightly, and he said: "When we were children, the two of us kept persuading the second brother to take the heir, saying that we would assist him, but at that time, we didn't even know what it was. ”

Yang Qice also laughed and said, "Now the second brother is not taking the heir, but the world." ”

Xiang Qi nodded heavily.

Just when Yang Xiang and the two were discussing Jiang Zhong's world, Jiang Zhong was actually discussing with Fan Baotong how to make the third floor of Guanguan Building less like a green building, Jiang Zhong provided all the advanced experience of future generations, some of which were too shocking and naturally discarded, and the essence left behind was enough to open Fan Baotong's eyes.

"The scope of the beauty pageant is not only Luzhou or Liangguo, but the entire human race, the same, this beauty pageant, not only for Guan Guan Lou to choose the top brand of Oiran, but more importantly, to spread the name of 'Guan Guan Lou'. ”

Fan Baotong wrote it down carefully.

Time flies, rain in June, fire in July, in August, Guan Guanlou's beauty pageant came to an end, this beauty pageant selected a total of seventeen talented and beautiful young women from ten countries, among which Liu Ruyi, Jiang Caiping, Mo Luohong are the most amazing, and each is good at winning, the three of them in addition to the rich material reward of Fan Fu, but also each got a poem from Jiang Zhong privately.

After the end of the huge beauty pageant in Guan Guan Lou, it was finally officially opened, on the first day of opening, it was naturally free for all, in addition to wine and food, there were also "Peony Pavilion" performed by the twelve officials of Fan Mansion on stage and another "Heroes Meeting Jiang Ganzhong Strategy" rehearsed by Jiang Zhongxin, which happened to be a women's play and a man's play.

The opening of Guan Guan Lou certainly gave countless men in the ten countries room for reverie, and they were secretly grateful to Jiang Zhong and Fan Baotong, but at the same time, they also encountered criticism from the world's gentlemen.

Especially to Jiang Zhong.

As the recipient of the Holy Temple's handbook, as the blue-eyed genius of the Fang family, as the jealous opponent of Chen Tong, and as the gentleman of the princess of the demon clan, how can you go to open the Qinglou? Even if the literary courage is explosive, you should stick to the literati style, work hard to read the books of the sages, and do everything possible to recast the literary courage, instead of falling into this degenerate and mingling with a group of opera geisha.

Jiang Zhong's approach is a subversive impact on the aesthetics of the world's scholars.

In any case, on the eighth day of the eighth month of August in the year 5126 of the Julian calendar, Jiang Zhong officially became the chief treasurer of Guanguan Building.

A series of popular dramas of the human race has officially begun. (To be continued.) )
