Chapter 362: All encounters are reunions after a long absence
The sudden news caught Xia Jingyun off guard.
This one is the prospective daughter-in-law and the old man, and the other is a good brother, they all come from afar, who will they pick up!
As for the arrogant character who wants to save face in Baiyunbian, he has made such a great contribution, if he doesn't pick him up in person and let him vent his strength, he may have to coax him well.
At this moment, Gongsun Jing whispered: "Childe, you forgot, Miss Su's letter said that Ling Zun and Ling Tang are in the team!" And Old Lady Yun is also in the team! ”
Get!
Brother Lexian, I'm sorry.
Xia Jingyun immediately led everyone to hurriedly walk down the city wall, and while sending Gongsun Jing to let Feng Xiuyun enter the palace to report to Concubine De, he went back to the house to make some preparations and rushed out of the city.
Although Su Lao Xianggong and the others also made great contributions, they were not military achievements, so the imperial court did not prepare for a big battle to welcome Jiang Yuhu as before, but only arranged a few officials of sufficient weight to greet them in advance to show respect.
Of course, Xia Jingyun is also among them, and he is the one who welcomes him.
With his status, of course, there is no need to wait in advance, but the rest of the people are different.
The biological father of the Queen Mother, the old husband of Su, plus the parents of the Marquis of Jianning, and the wife of the Marquis of Jianning
I'm a mother!
If you don't toss a little grandeur, I'm sorry for the black gauze hat on my head, and I'm sorry for my belief that I want to seek progress!
So, ten miles away from the south city, the lights were colorful, the red carpet was paved, and the pavilion by the road went straight from the official road to the pavilion next to the road.
In the pavilion, the field has already been cleared, red cloth curtains are hung on three sides to block the wind, there are seats in the middle, melons, fruits, snacks and tea are readily available, and the prominent ones are two words: there is a heart.
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and Xia Jingyun rushed to the pavilion with his people.
Seeing Xia Jingyun coming, these officials got up together, "I've seen Lord Xiahou!" ”
Seeing that they were scrambling but not looking pretentious and flustered, Xia Jingyun was also secretly surprised in his heart, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and he smiled and helped him, "You have worked hard today." ”
"This is the responsibility of the lower officials, and the Hou Ye's words have tormented me."
"Surabaya Yunmeng Erzhou, is the foundation of His Majesty's foundation, great merit, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's mother in order to avoid suspicion, not to let the Xingshi move the public, this time when the hundred officials greeted in person!"
"Yes, Xiaguan and the others still feel that such a battle is slack! I hope that Lord Hou will forgive his sins! ”
Above the officialdom, it is like this, the hierarchy of power is the basis of all communication, and in the face of Xia Jingyun, who is young enough to be his son, everyone is humble.
Moreover, because of his fame and brilliant achievements, and in this humility, there is a little more sincere awe.
Xia Jingyun smiled, didn't say much, glanced at Zhou Zai, nodded and said, "You have a heart." ”
When everyone got this word, their hearts were settled.
"Childe, here!"
Chen Fugui reminded in a low voice, and not far away, a huge convoy slowly emerged.
And the people in the convoy naturally saw the battle ahead, and even saw Xia Jingyun who was surrounded by everyone to greet him.
Su Yanyan and Qin Li were in the same carriage, and as soon as they opened the curtain and looked, an entourage came running next to the carriage, "Miss, Miss Qin, the old minister said, let you not get out of the carriage yet." ”
It was the second daughter who was full of love and excitedly wanted to run to the arms of her lover for a moment, and all kinds of bizarre thoughts flashed in her mind, such as "Do you want to beat the mandarin duck", "Are you afraid that the two of us will compete for the first place], "Do you want us to take a posture, can't the daughter's family be too active], [Or he himself wants to take the lead] and other bizarre thoughts, and then I realized that this is to let the two daughters-in-law not steal the limelight from their parents.
Just when the two girls sighed at the critical moment, the family had an old man and a treasure, and the convoy slowly came to the pavilion.
The entourage had already adjusted the order of the vehicles without a trace in the orders of Old Minister Su, and on the first two carriages, the Xia family was sitting "justly".
Xia Mingxiong, Xia Hengzhi, Xia Zhang, Xia Li, and Xia Ningzhen, who was still bright and bright, but much more noble than before, stood in front of Xia Jingyun again after more than a year.
This time, it was obvious that there was a slight nervousness on their faces.
Along the way, they already knew that standing opposite them at the moment was the second champion of the Great Xia Dynasty, the third brother of the Empress Dowager, the youngest central minister of the Great Xia Dynasty, the founding of the Ninghou of the country, the leader of the Surabaya Prefecture, and the head of the household department, the top magnate with a great reputation.
"The child has seen his father, his mother, his uncle, his aunt. Ning Zhen seems to have become beautiful again! ”
Seeing Xia Jingyun saluting them respectfully, and then laughing and teasing Xia Ningzhen, just like in the past, the faces of the five people finally showed a restrained smile.
Luckily, fortunately, he is still our son/nephew/second brother.
The two brothers, Xia Hengzhi and Xia Mingxiong, looked at him with satisfaction, put his shoulder, and couldn't help nodding, "It's done well, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, my Xia family has you, and it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor!" ”
"My son will be compared to his father!"
Xia Ning really looked at his second brother with a little curiosity and admiration, his physique was better than before, his expression was more calm than before, and he was still so handsome and good-looking, looking at it, this young girl who was destined to attract countless powerful children to pursue frantically in the next Zhongjing City quietly blushed.
Xia Li looked at his son's current demeanor, not only proud of his achievements, but also instantly thought that he must have gone through a lot of unimaginable tribulations for ordinary people to do these things, and couldn't help but redden, and tears began to roll in the eyes of this weak and gentle woman.
"Eh, why are you still crying!"
Xia Jingyun was a little hurried for a while, Xia Hengzhi turned his head and pretended to be angry: "On this big day, what are you crying like!" ”
Xia Zhang's played a round game, "Your mother is probably afraid that you haven't seen you for a long time, and you will break up with her, so let's cry first to make you familiar with it, right, girl?" ”
The corners of Xia Jingyun's mouth twitched, "Aunt is still so good at talking!" ”
He immediately bowed his hand to the five people, "The child will go to greet the rest of the people first, and the father, mother, uncle, aunt and Ning Zhen will enter the pavilion to rest for a while." ”
Naturally, there were officials behind him who were busy taking over the job, and led a few people into the pavilion cordially and flatteringly.
Looking at the appearance of the senior official who didn't even look at himself at the moment at the moment, several people had a more vivid and distinct understanding of Xia Jingyun's power now.
After experiencing enough things, the old people have a wealth of experience, like the invisible wind of the years, and the tacit understanding of many thorny situations has quietly turned into nature.
Seeing Xia Jingyun meeting his relatives, Old Man Yun and Su Shidao, who followed him, got out of the carriage and waited aside in advance.
"The students meet the two teachers."
"Haha, hurry up!"
Old Man Yun smiled and stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at him with satisfaction, and when the words came to his mouth, he felt that the language was a little pale, so he had to nod his head, "Not bad, not bad, really good." ”
Su Shidao said with a smile: "On that day, I said goodbye to the state city, I just asked you to get the middle jinshi, I never thought that you could even win three yuan, and do such a feat, it is really embarrassing to be a teacher!" ”
Xia Jingyun hurriedly said: "Students still have many deficiencies in their knowledge, and they still need to learn more from teachers." ”
Su Shidao shook his head, "Don't be polite with us!" Not to mention your peerless poetic talent, as far as your teacher said, that essay on begging thieves is enough to prove that you have entered the avenue of poetry, where else are we worth teaching you! ”
Xia Jingyun smiled slightly when he saw this, "Isn't it the most desirable thing for every teacher to be blue?" ”
Su Shidao was stunned, and then stroked his palms and laughed, "A good blue is better than blue!" You can say that again! Well said! ”
Old Man Yun also smiled and said: "Look, what am I talking about, seeing Gao Yang, there will be good things!" ”
After speaking, he patted the back of Su Shidao, who was still talking, "There will be time for a while, don't get in the way here now, let's go to the pavilion for tea." ”
Su Shidao reacted immediately, winked at Xia Jingyun in a rare mischievous manner, and went to the pavilion with Old Man Yun.
The voices of the officials who received the two were trembling, this is the father of the Queen Mother who listened to the government!
If you want to be able to tie the knot, Qingyun Avenue is ahead, if you offend, you will be idle if you want to destroy your family.
This half-heaven and half-hell situation is really exciting.
Xia Jingyun turned his head to look at a carriage below.
The curtain swayed gently with the wind, like ripples on the heart lake, blown by the wind of the meeting.
The curtain of the car was opened, the barrier was no longer there, as if the distance separated by the situation disappeared in an instant, and two delicate faces that captivated the country and the city appeared in front of Xia Jingyun, and his face was also reflected in the watery eyes on the other side.
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Long time no see, welcome back." ”
One is cold and elegant, the other is beautiful and smart, driven by worries and thoughts day and night, and threw himself into Xia Jingyun's arms.
In the car window not far away, Mr. Su lowered the curtain with a pout, looking unhappy.
But in addition to being unhappy, I have to admit that the current Xia Jingyun has the qualifications to hug left and right.
Forget it, who makes the granddaughter like it!
Thinking of this, Old Minister Su silently stepped out of the carriage in advance and coughed lightly.
Su Yanyan hurriedly let go of his hand shyly, Qin Li was not afraid, but he was quietly dragged by Su Yanyan hatefully, so he had no choice but to let go.
Xia Jingyun was very thick-skinned, and walked towards the old minister Su without changing his face, and bowed solemnly, "The old minister!" ”
Of course, Old Minister Su is not the kind of person who will be influenced by any emotion, he smiled and stretched out his hand to help him up, and said softly: "When Su Jiawu said goodbye that day, I never thought that Gao Yang would go straight to Qingyun, but at this moment it is like the sky!" ”
Xia Jingyun said modestly: "Fortunately, thanks to the great help of Old Minister Su and all of you, otherwise the younger generation would not be fortunate today." ”
Old Minister Su looked at the pavilion on the side and the officials who stood with their hands down and looked respectful, and sighed lightly: "The old man thought that it would take ten or even twenty years for you to get to this point, and I was worried about whether the world could afford to wait so long, but I didn't expect a drastic change to change all this." ”
"If there are great changes today, although the power is in our hands, although the court has been cleansed a little, but the government is still in danger of corruption, there is still war in the Quartet, and the people are also in urgent need of upside down.
Old Minister Su turned his head, looked at Xia Jingyun's serious face, and nodded slowly, "The old man's old bones, let's boil them all for this big summer!" ”
"Junior, for all the people of the world, thank you to the old minister!"
"Okay, it's all my own family, in front of the old man, you don't have to be so upright."
Old Minister Su said very meaningfully, and then snorted towards the carriage behind, and said with a somewhat mocking smile: "Your Shangguan is still behind, don't be lazy." ”
In the carriage behind him, Li Tianfeng also walked down.
Looking at Xia Jingyun, the arrogance in his heart completely dissipated, and only happiness was left at this moment.
If he had a bad idea at the beginning and chose to wait and see, or simply raise the flag and stand on his own, I am afraid that his fate now will be similar to that of Lu Rusong.
Therefore, even though his ranking in the center is higher than Xia Jingyun's now, in the face of this young man who is ostensibly at the tail of the center crane, he does not have any arrogance, and even bows with a bit of humility.
Xia Jingyun smiled and greeted him, but didn't say much.
It's not that he has any opinions about Li Tianfeng, but this leading figure under the command of Concubine De when his strength was weak, this kind of thing of grace naturally has to be left to Concubine De to do it personally.
Although he knew and believed that his sister would not think like that, he himself had to be cautious.
After saluting everyone, Xia Jingyun went to the pavilion with everyone to sit for a while.
The officials who came to greet him personally brewed hot tea, drank one of them, and ate some melons and fruits snacks, which was considered to be a little tired, and then planned to get up and leave separately.
At this moment, a carriage arrived under the escort of the guards, Qin Li's eyes lit up, and he saw that in the carriage, the old master of the Qin family walked down with the support of the head of the Qin family.
The officials hurriedly bowed, "I've seen Lu Guogong." ”
The old master of Qin smiled and waved his hand, and then walked into the pavilion.
He first saluted Old Man Yun, and then, the eyes of the two old men who had been drenched in Zhongjing for decades quietly met together.
Old Master Qin smiled and said, "Master Su, I didn't expect you to be really alive!" ”
Old Minister Su smiled, "If I really leave, how can I say goodbye to Brother Qin?" ”
Fortunately, neither of them is a person who cares about proportion, and they don't have any big grudges, they just want to fight for their granddaughter, and in the case of thanking the Su family, the old master of the Qin family just clicked a move and stopped.
Then, everyone exchanged a few more greetings, and after the old master of Qin greeted everyone, especially Xia Jingyun's parents, he really got up and left.
Xia Jingyun personally helped the old man Yun, and before the old man got into the car, he glanced at the direction of the capital, sighed softly, and walked into the carriage.
Xia Jingyun didn't say much when he saw this, rode his horse to keep up with the team, and then slowly left.
The carriage led the team slowly, and the people in the carriage lifted the curtains, looking at the gradually dense flow of people around them, and the gradually enriching buildings, looking for memories of the past or adding new knowledge.
When the procession came to the gate of the city, the faces of all the people changed in unison.
Then, almost invariably, they dismounted and got out of the car.
Because, in the middle of the city gate, there is a long red carpet;
On the red carpet, there is a huge phoenix;
In front of the phoenix, there was a delicate phoenix.
"Wait for the ministers to meet the Queen Mother!"
At this time, Old Minister Su led everyone and bowed to Concubine De.
Concubine De stepped forward, stretched out her hand to support her, and said softly: "There are many affairs in the city, and it is inconvenient for the mourning family to go out of the city to welcome them. ”
Of course, everyone understood Concubine De's worries, and hurriedly agreed politely, except for Old Minister Su, there was some flattered gratitude in their hearts.
Now the situation is far from stable, if the Queen Mother leaves the city, if she does it again, it will be completely lost because of the small loss.
After the greetings, everyone got out of the way in amusement, leaving the room to the father and daughter.
Old Man Yun looked at his daughter, and he didn't have the scenery of her at the moment, but he seemed to see those days and nights when she held an almost unrealistic dream alone, and if she made a mistake, she would never recover, and she was frightened.
Concubine De looked at her father, who seemed to be a little older than before, and stepped forward slowly, the corners of her forcibly curled mouth, and her quietly reddened eyes, as if she was silently saying, [Father, my daughter did it. 】
Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, a thousand words turned into tears, slid from the corners of their eyes over their cheeks, fell to the ground, and disappeared into the dust.
Old Man Yun took the lead in taking a deep breath, and a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, "Okay, they are all the queen mothers, why are you crying." ”
Hearing this, Concubine De's tears suddenly had a tendency to burst the embankment.
In this world, there is only such a person left, and she can still be that carefree little girl for once.
However, in the end, it is a convincing role that can sit in the six palaces, listen to the government and listen to the government, and after only a moment of excitement, Concubine De restrained her emotions, and said politely to everyone again, returned to the phoenix, and led everyone into the city.
At the same time, in the east of the city, among the ten-mile long pavilion.
Su Yuanshang looked at Baiyunbian helplessly, "Let's go!" If you don't go to lunch, you'll miss it. ”
Bai Yunbian stood up and snorted coldly, "I thought that he Xia Gaoyang was a gentleman who was upright and generous, but I didn't expect that he was also a jealous and capable person, Uncle Su Shi, did you say that he was jealous of my talent?" ”
Su Yuanshang wiped his mouth, trying not to let himself laugh out loud, "I think it's possible, well, it's a misunderstanding." ”
"Misunderstanding a fart!"
Old Master Zhao felt that he had become more and more vulgar after staying with this dog in Baiyunbian for a long time recently, and said coldly: "My cousin didn't come here to greet you, what do you have to be angry about?" Can't people have their own business? Do you have to come here to pick you up? How? The whole world has to revolve around you? ”
Bai Yunbian stretched out his hand and pointed at the old owner of Zhao, and turned his head to look at Su Yuanshang, "You see, the people who are jealous of me are like this." ”
The old owner of Zhao broke the defense, looked for knives everywhere, and ran away after Baiyun finished loading.
Su Yuanshang finally couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh.
Xia Yunfei on the side was also smiling, while Ye Hongluan was holding his forehead helplessly, without looking, without seeing at all.
As for the officials who were ordered to come to greet them, they were stunned and fascinated at the same time when they looked at this strange painting style.
Under Su Yuanshang's mediation, everyone finally set off again and slowly went to the city.
When they reached the city gate, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a familiar figure rushed out of the city.
Xia Jingyun reined in the front of the team, then skillfully dismounted, threw the reins to the guards behind him, and smiled and bowed to everyone, "Everyone, come one step late, I hope you will forgive me!" ”
Everyone smiled and waved their hands, only Bai Yunbian snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.
Xia Jingyun stepped forward and bowed to the old owner of Zhao first, "After a farewell year, the old owner's demeanor is even more than in the past!" ”
Looking at Xia Jingyun's appearance like a spring breeze, the old owner of Zhao felt that the restless anger in his body had subsided, and said with a smile: "A year later, you have established such a meritorious service, worthy of being a hero in the world, congratulations!" ”
"Fortunately, thanks to the help of the old owner and many talents, otherwise the younger generation would not be in such a situation."
Xia Jingyun said modestly, and then whispered: "Because I don't know the intention of the old owner, the reward on that day did not discuss the great achievements of the old owner, and we will discuss it after returning home." ”
Old Master Zhao smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay." ”
Immediately, Xia Jingyun looked at Su Yuanshang again, "Mr. Su has worked this trip!" ”
Su Yuanshang returned the salute, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" ”
Xia Jingyun smiled a little ridiculously and said: "Mr. Su has had a good rest for the past two days, I'm afraid there will be no such idle days in the future!" ”
Su Yuanshang is such a talent, even in the era when Emperor Chongning was in power, such a meritorious service will definitely be reactivated, not to mention that now Concubine De is in power.
And Su Yuanshang himself obviously expected this, and nodded his head, "Thank you Queen Mother, Your Majesty, thank you Gao Yang." ”
Then Xia Jingyun walked to Baiyunbian and Ye Hongluan, looking at the two of them standing together, he guessed the situation in his heart, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Le Xian, you have to hug the beauty!" ”
Bai Yunbian turned his head to look at Ye Hongluan, "Look, whatever I said, he only congratulated this"
Ye Hongluan's phoenix eyes widened, he reached out and twisted his waist hard, gritted his teeth and whispered: "You divide the occasion!" ”
Xia Jingyun naturally knew about Baiyunbian's temper, and it was impossible to be angry, so he immediately gave his hand, "Congratulations to Brother Le Xian for his great achievements this time, without the help of Brother Le Xian, how could it be so smooth in Zhongjing!" ”
"I don't know until now, it's too late!"
Bai Yunbian snorted arrogantly and twisted his head to the side.
Ye Hongluan was so angry that she stomped her feet, Xia Jingyun smiled and waved her hand, "Don't get in the way, blame me for today's events." ”
Coaxed two sentences to Baiyunbian without success, Xia Jingyun didn't care about him for the time being, but came to Xia Yunfei and looked at him with a smile, "Big brother." ”
Xia Yunfei was happy, opened his arms, the two brothers hugged each other, and then smiled together.
Outside the city of Surabaya Prefecture that day, the two once said that they met at the peak, but now only a year has passed, and they have fulfilled their wishes.
"Okay, everyone is tired from the journey, let's go into the city to rest first!"
Xia Jingyun greeted and led everyone into the city.
The destination of this trip was not Jiang Anhou's Mansion, but Xia Jingyun's newly built mansion that he had never lived in.
With Xia Jingyun's current status rising, this already spacious mansion has also been further expanded and is being built as soon as possible, but the part that was built before is fully habitable.
"It's because you didn't come, my housewarming banquet has been postponed for several days, just waiting for you!"
Standing in front of the mansion, Xia Jingyun said to everyone with a smile.
Everyone looked at this brand-new mansion, and they were very interested in Xia Jingyun's attention, and walked in with a few polite words.
And when the people sitting in the main hall saw their coming, they all got up in unison.
Su Yuanshang and Su Xianggong were surprised, Su Laoxiang and Zhao Laozhuang reunited with old friends, Ye Hongluan and Su Yanyan and Qin Li said goodbye to the three friends in distress, Su Qin's maid reunited with the young lady, Bai Yunbian tried to scream in front of everyone, etc., so lively.
And the Xia family had seen Xia Jingyun before, and at this moment, they saw Xia Yunfei again, and they all greeted him.
Xia Zhang looked at his son, stretched out his hand to support his face, and looked distressed, "It's dark, it's thin, it's hard to fight, right?" Are you hurt? ”
Xia Yunfei was still silent, grinning, "It's okay, Childe is very good to us." ”
"How is that possible! How can it not be hard to be a soldier and fight! ”
Xia Zhang said and spoke, and tears fell down with the snapping.
Xia Jingyun whispered on the side: "Auntie, are you also afraid that the eldest brother will break up with you?" ”
Xia Zhang's expression was stunned, and his teardropping face was full of embarrassment.
There was a delay in the morning, and it was even late.
