The carriage slowly drove into the Shendu from the east gate of the northern city, and dozens of horsemen and guards were distributed around, moving forward in an orderly manner with the carriage.

Mr. Qian, surnamed Sun, at the gate of the city, put down the small flag that was about to step forward to block the convoy, and scolded with a glaring eye: "Something that is not long-sighted, who dares to stop it?" What a raw egg! ”

Seeing the carriage go away, he said, "You foolish goods, if it weren't for your sister to let me take a good look at you." I have to be whipped today, I can tell you, the people who usually come and go in and out of the east gate of this north city are some high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and most of them are big people just now! Wipe the bright spots of your eyes in the future! ”

"Brother-in-law, why didn't you make it clear to me earlier! I'm on duty on the first day today, and if you get whipped, you won't be better! Just wait to go back to sleep in the study! Xiaoqi replied with a slight complaint.

At this time, in the Shouqing Hall in the backyard of the Houdun Mansion in Beicheng, Houdunfang, Beicheng, the old Fengjun Zhang was restless in the house, waving his hand and saying to the few big girls standing on the left and right: "You guys, don't shake in front of my eyes." Hurry up and go to the main gate to scan and listen, is my brother Qiu almost here now! ”

In Shouqing Hall, the old lady Zhang and Mrs. Jin were talking.

On the other side, the main gate of the Hou Mansion in Pingbei is wide open, and the people of the Hou Mansion are lined up on both sides, bustling and crowded, ready to welcome the little master who has not returned for ten years to return to the house, which looks extremely lively!

The Zhang family had already instructed that her good grandson must return home from the main entrance. First, the eldest grandson of the dignified Pingbei Hou Mansion returned home, such a big thing, it must be all the scenes, don't let her Qiu Ge'er feel lonely!

The second is to let the people in the house see the real Buddha, don't collide, if anyone is missing the rules, she is also indispensable for the means of rectification!

As the carriage marched, Xu Muqiu's mood was no longer calm, and the memory of his family stayed at the age of five, which was really cowardly.

"I don't know how my family gets along in this life?"

Thanks to the fact that the original body has been away from home for ten years, everything can be said to have started from scratch after Xu Muqiu returned home, and there is no need to hide it too much!

At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped, and Zhu Xiang said with a little excitement: "Young Master, it's here!" It's time to Pingbei Hou's Mansion! ”

Xu Muqiu gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and replied: "I think it's time to get home, Zhuxiang will trouble you to settle Yinglian later!" ”

Outside the Pingbei Hou Mansion, everyone looked at the carriage slowly coming, the originally slightly noisy voice stopped abruptly, and all kinds of people had different expressions, some were happy, some were dignified, some were flattering, and some were indifferent. ”

When the carriage stopped, without waiting for the people of the Hou Mansion to put the upper horse stone, Zhu Xiang jumped out of the carriage first, turned around and opened the door curtain of the carriage for Xu Muqiu, raised the little brain that looked not very smart, and shouted loudly: "Respectfully invite the grandson to return home!" ”

As Zhuxiang's voice rose and fell, Xu Muqiu came out in response. He stepped out of the carriage and stood still. Raise your eyes and look up, the Pingbei Hou Mansion is magnificent, the three beast head gates stand majestically, there are five rows of five columns of floating nails on the door, a pair of granite lions are placed next to the door, one male and one female, in front of the door is a group of symmetrically arranged soldiers, on which is inserted the halberd decorated with red tassels, eight on the left and right. In front of the soldiers, there was a team of Rui Jiading, all of whom were veterans who had been on the battlefield with Pingbei Hou, and they looked not angry but arrogant!

At this moment, the main gate of the Hou Mansion is wide open, there is a plaque on the door, and the plaque is written in the big book "Pingbei Hou Mansion" six big characters, and everyone in front of the door all mentions the spirit, and secretly looks at the little master who has not been seen for many years.

At this time, the crowd suddenly made a noise, and a mother-in-law shouted: "Mother! There are such good-looking people in the world! It caused a burst of laughter from the girls and mother-in-law around her, in fact, this is not to blame the mother-in-law, but she is not very educated, and she can't think of a better sentence to describe it, "Mother!" "It sounds vulgar, but it's better than real!

If you were a lady who had read poetry and books and saw Xu Muqiu, she would definitely say: "Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world." ”

Just when everyone was laughing, Xu Ping, the chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, walked towards Xu Muqiu towards everyone, as if he was saying something next to Xu Muqiu, followed by Zhuxiang and Yinglian.

Hearing the laughter of everyone below, Xu Ping was afraid of causing the little master to be unhappy, so he hurriedly scolded: A bunch of lazy people with no rules, so presumptuous in front of the son, didn't you let me go back to my wife, please serve the family law! ”

After hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened, and they hurriedly knelt down to Xu Muqiu, and said in unison: "The villain is vulgar and innocent, and I ask the son to forgive me!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Muqiu was stunned, thinking to himself Is this the Gongmen Hou Mansion?

After a while, he raised his virtual hand and said, "It's okay, some little things, no need to worry, get up!" Many of you are old people in the house, and you need to work together for my Hou Mansion in the future, so this false gift will be waived! ”

He turned his head to the chief housekeeper Xu Ping and said: "It's Shen Shi at this moment, if there is nothing else to do, let them go to eat, I will go to meet my grandmother and mother!" With that, he walked straight to the door of the Hou Mansion.

After Xu Muqiu left, everyone dared to get up, and the chief housekeeper Xu Ping looked at them and said: "Gongzi has practiced with the master for many years, his heart is peaceful, and he treats people kindly, it seems that your life will be much better in the future." But don't be too reckless and forget the rules! You know what Madame does! With that, he hurried towards the direction where Xu Muqiu left.

When everyone heard that, their hearts were first loose, and then they were tight, I don't know what it feels like? It turned out that since Xu Muqiu left home to practice, as time passed, his mother Jin's worries about her son were better than day by day.

And Xu's father gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively in Xinna's two concubines during this year, and Jin's heart became more and more unpleasant, and Xu's father was a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel on the fifth day.

Xu's father was so disturbed that he asked for an order to become a guerrilla general in Yangzhou Mansion for more than three years. Kim always felt that it was his karma that had not disappeared that led to the discord between husband and wife and the suffering of parents and children, so he began to eat fasting and chanting Buddha all day long in order to seek peace of mind; The housekeeper is becoming more and more strict, and everyone in the house is afraid.

Xu Ping, the big housekeeper here, prepared a sedan chair for Xu Muqiu, and he took the sedan chair to the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

Xu Muqiu looked out of the sedan chair, only to see that the layout of the Hou Mansion was regular, and the pavilions were staggered, probably because the Pingbei Hou Mansion was established with military merits, and the overall environment looked majestic and magnificent, and the nobility was brilliant, but there was no extravagance at all, and everything was in order.

Listening to Zhuxiang's introduction, Fuzhong Wujin is roughly divided into east, middle and west three roads, each with three courtyards, grandmother Zhang lives in the east courtyard, mother Jin lives in the west courtyard, and now they go to the Shouqing Hall on the middle road, Zhang, Jin and others are waiting for him there.

According to Zhu Xiang, there is a big garden in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, called Runqiu Garden, the ancient trees in the garden are towering, the strange stones are numerous, the mountains and rivers are around, the pavilions and pavilions are pavilions, the corridor turns around, and the scenery is extremely beautiful! She often runs there to play!

The sedan chair shook slightly, and then quietly landed. The servant outside the sedan chair said softly: "Young master, we have arrived!" ”

Before Xu Muqiu could get out of the sedan chair, there was a crying shout outside: "My hard-working son!" You're back! ”

Xu Muqiu heard this, where can he still sit still? Hurriedly stepped down from the sedan chair, and met a group of women walking quickly. The first two were already in tears, and they muttered, "O my miserable child! ”

Before Xu Muqiu could take a closer look, one of the women with frosted sideburns had already hugged Xu Muqiu and said, "My son! It's back! How did a small person who left home grow so tall? Let Mother take a good look at you!. ”

Before the words fell, the silver-haired woman who arrived later snatched Xu Muqiu in her arms and hugged her beside her. With a slightly dry and wrinkled hand, he kept stroking Xu Muqiu's face, with tears in his eyes, and said softly: "My poor Brother Qiu, I used to be the best with my grandmother, and I often thought about the law, and deceived the candy man in my grandmother's hands to eat, and in the blink of an eye, I became an adult!" Grandmother is trying to slap you! ”

This silver-haired woman is Xu Muqiu's grandmother Zhang, and beside her is Xu Muqiu's mother, Jin.

At this time, the Jin family was standing to the side helplessly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the two grandparents and grandchildren beside him, his expression was very tangled and slightly complaining, as if he wanted to snatch his son back from the arms of the old lady Zhang! But she chose to follow her heart at the moment, and did not take action, just muttered on the side: "That's my son!" Domineering old lady! ”

Xu Muqiu was deeply touched when he saw this scene, and after the death of his relatives in his previous life, he understood what loneliness is! Walking alone on the long road of life, behind the self-reliance and strength is helpless loneliness.

At this moment, the heart that was originally slightly resistant quietly opened, and the last trace of alienation from the world disappeared. The master and his family in this life made him feel the temperature of family affection again! He decided to embrace the world, embrace this amiable and lovely family, and give them tenderness!

Xu Muqiu couldn't help but burst into tears when he thought about it, and the Zhang family and the Jin family also cried when they saw Xu Muqiu so emotional!

After a long time, Xu Muqiu gathered his mind and comforted his grandmother and mother: "It's all because the children are crying, making jokes, and making grandmothers and mothers sad, it's really not right!" The child walked all the way, and the lunch was just hastily solved, and he wanted to save his appetite and wait until the family had a big meal, and he wanted to come to his grandmother and mother, who must have prepared a good meal for the child! ”

When Zhang and Jin heard this, where were they hungry to the baby's heart, they hurriedly took Xu Muqiu's hand and walked to the hall, and instructed the maid: "Ruyi, hurry up and tell the small kitchen to prepare for the banquet!" ”

He turned his head to Xu Muqiu and said, "Brother Qiu, don't worry, I'll let you eat delicious food immediately, you are so thin, you have to make up for it." ”
