Chapter 249: Going Home
After sending the god of the stove, the atmosphere of the New Year in Bianjing City becomes more and more intense, and the crackling sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time.
At this time, the heat wave of the people in the city buying New Year's goods has not subsided, and the wide streets are full of traffic, and the Taiping cars pulled by more than a dozen horses are shuttling back and forth between the streets and alleys.
After five days of driving, the Wei family's convoy, which had just entered the city from the West Gate, was now struggling to move between the bustling pedestrians and the endless stream of cars and horses.
Several of Wei Chen's servants in Yuzhou looked left and right all the way, and all opened their mouths in surprise.
They are all natives of Yuzhou, and the prosperity of Yuzhou has shocked them, and the world of flowers in Bianjing City in front of them makes them feel that their eyes are not enough.
Wei Chen lifted the curtain and looked at the crowds on the street, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I haven't seen it for nearly three years, Bianjing is still the brilliant giant city that crowns the world, and the prosperous picture of such a peaceful and prosperous era can't catch up with Yuzhou City.
The closer he got to home, the more Wei Chen became like an arrow, seeing that the road ahead was blocked and difficult to walk, he no longer kept a low profile at the moment, and ordered someone to hang out his title card, so as to clear a way to facilitate the passage of his own convoy.
Bianjing was originally a place where dignitaries gathered, and now it is the time when foreign officials enter Beijing for pilgrimage, and it is not unusual to meet a prefect or the like on the way.
However, when Wei Chen and his entourage hung out the title plate, the cars, horses, and pedestrians on the street all took the initiative to get out of the way and respectfully avoided the road.
Just because I saw the content on the title.
"God bless the five-year solution!"
"God bless the six-year Huiyuan!"
"God bless the champion for six years!"
"Six dollars and first!"
"Hand-picked Hanlin!"
"Doctor of the Imperial Council!"
"Extended Books!"
"Zhan Shizhongyun!"
"Yuzhou Zhizhou!"
There are so many officials from the two lists, Jinshi and No. 1 in Bianjing City that they may be able to hit one with a brick.
However, officials who are qualified to play the titles of Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and Champion are rare even in Bianjing.
After all, there are only twenty-four Xie Yuan in three years, and there is only one Huiyuan and Champion in three years.
As for collecting all three titles, there is even one more official with "six yuan and first", needless to say that Bianjing, even in the entire Great Zhou, there is only one.
For a while, all the cars and horses on the street stopped to the side, the road was crowded with pedestrians, and the watchers along the street also poked out their heads.
The legend of the six yuan and the first, the myth of the incarnation of Wenqu, the meritorious service of building the reserve and the policy, and the sensation of the statement of the first table......
Wei Chen left too many deeds in Bianjing, even though nearly three years have passed, the officials and gentlemen of Bianjing have never forgotten him.
And what really established Weichen's status in the minds of the people of Bianjing was the method of pox planting that he promoted.
In the past two years, the effect of the pox method has been verified in Yuzhou, and it has gradually spread from Yuzhou to all parts of the Great Zhou, and Bianjing, as the center of the Great Zhou, will naturally be no exception.
Countless people are protected from acne because they have been vaccinated, and the infant mortality rate has been greatly reduced.
This alone is enough for the people to be grateful to Weichen and bow down. ….
So, as soon as they saw Wei Chen hang out the title card, the people rushed to tell each other the news of Wei Chen's return to Beijing, vying to see the demeanor of Liuyuanlang.
Everywhere the Wei family's convoy passed, both officials and gentlemen and ordinary people waved and applauded.
Wei Chen immediately asked the coachman to stop the carriage, lifted the curtain and leaned out, smiled and made a gesture to the onlookers, and then sat back down.
The surging enthusiasm of the people of Bianjing made everyone in the Weijia convoy deeply shocked.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan, a staff member who followed Wei Chen into Beijing, was stunned and said, "No wonder Dong Weng is so low-key along the way, if he really swaggers and hangs out the title card to hurry, I'm afraid that he won't be able to reach Bianjing in a month!"
"Dong Weng was demoted from Beijing for nearly three years
years, but there is still such a prestige in Beijing, and my generation of scholars can do this level as an official, and I really have no regrets about dying!"
Another staff member, Wei Shuping, was also quite emotional when he saw this, and recommended him to Wang Wenqing, the secretary of Dali Temple in Weichen, who was one of the six departments and nine secretaries of the court, and had a number of important ministers in the center of the court, but Wang Wenqing was among the people, but he was afraid that he did not have such a high reputation as Wei Chen.
Thanks to the active avoidance of pedestrians on the road, the Weijia convoy finally passed through the most congested section of the street, and although the road ahead was still busy, it was finally able to pass unimpeded.
The convoy passed through the streets and alleys, and when it was about to reach the state bridge, several people in the team rushed to the Xuande Gate of the imperial city to report for Weichen.
According to the rules, Wei Chen should go on this trip in person, but the heavenly family is not unkind, after all, Wei Chen has worked hard outside for several years, and Zhao Zhen will still give this face.
[At present, it is the most complete and best sound for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it is an artifact that supports offline reading.
In the afternoon, the convoy slowly drove into Jiying Lane, and in the attention of the neighbors, Wei Chen finally saw the long-lost gate of the house.
At the door of Wei Mansion, there was a tall and thin young man wearing a small round hat, and there was a woman with a bun behind him, who was the Wei Ruyi family who had not seen Wei Chen for a long time.
Wei Ruyi is a little more fortunate than three years ago, but the bottom is there, and with a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, she looks like a lady of a big family.
Seeing Wei Chen lift the curtain and get out of the carriage, Wei Ruyi's face was full of happy smiles, and he stepped forward to greet him, and said excitedly: "Brother Chen, you are back, and the family is looking forward to you!"
Wei Ruyi's gaze never left Wei Chen, holding Wei Chen's hands tightly, looking up and down, left and right, for fear that Wei Chen would lose a few taels of meat.
"My nephew is ashamed, and Aunt Lao is worried."
Feeling Wei Ruyi's concern for himself, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and at the same time he felt a little ashamed.
Since he stepped into the official career, he has been entangled in mundane affairs, and he has never found a chance to go back to Youyang to see Wei Ruyi and them, so he can only contact them through letters.
When he returned to Beijing this time, Wei Chen was going to marry Erlan, such a major event must not be missing the Wei Ruyi family who raised Wei Chen.
Therefore, Wei Chen wrote to his family in advance and told him that he must invite Wei Ruyi's family from Youyang.
After exchanging a few words with Wei Ruyi, Wei Chen looked behind her and couldn't help asking, "Where is my uncle?"
"I asked him to go to the banquet." Wei Ruyi smiled and said, "You finally came back, of course you have to celebrate and celebrate."
"Don't be so troublesome, call my uncle back, let's just eat a bite at home." Wei Chen said.
But I couldn't resist Wei Ruyi's insistence, so I had to let her go, which was also my aunt's and uncle's intentions for me.
Wei Chen looked at the tall and thin young man beside Wei Ruyi again, and couldn't help but smile with a smile: "It's only been a few years since I saw him, and our family Ah Xu has grown into a young man!"
This young man is naturally Zhang Xu, although he has grown a lot over the years, and his appearance has grown, but the silhouette still has the shadow of the past, so Wei Chen recognized it at a glance.
Zhang Xu was still a little restrained when he saw Wei Chen, but when he heard Wei Chen's words, his expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and he stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Wei Chen's arm and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, I thought Brother Chen wouldn't recognize me!"
"As an elder brother, how can you not recognize your younger brother?"
Wei Chen laughed, and then said, "Auntie, Ah Xu, it's windy outside, let's go home and talk!"
Saying that, Wei Chen held Wei Ruyi with one hand, pulled Zhang Xu with the other, and strode into the house from the middle door side by side.
