The next day, after a day's rest, the group continued to march towards Luoyang City in high spirits.

Today, Jiang Qi is still at the forefront, as if yesterday's events have nothing to do with him. He hadn't mentioned anything since he went back yesterday, but only he knew that there was a figure that had remained deep in his heart.

Although Jiang Qi is still walking lightly on the way home, he doesn't know that his name has spread throughout the entire Jingshi last night. And what made him famous was not the two small poems mentioned yesterday, but his sister Jiang Lin'er said the song 'Hu no one' in a conversation with Cai Yan.

Of course, Jiang Qi's name spread all over Luoyang, and his credit is undoubtedly Cai Yan. Cai Yan, who returned to Luoyang that night, told his father Cai Yong about the 'Hu Wuren' he had just heard about with joy.

When Cai Yan told her father with color, she didn't notice it, but she had actually subtly remembered Jiang Qi in her heart.

After listening to Hu Wuren in Cai Yan's mouth, this poem with a strong national atmosphere, Cai Yong said three 'great talents', which shows his high evaluation of Jiang Qi.

Who is Cai Yong? The Great Confucian, Doctor. As soon as he passed on, Jiang Qi, who was unknown, suddenly jumped into the ranks of talents.

It's just that Jiang Qi didn't know all this, and after half a day of traveling, they finally arrived at the towering Luoyang City that afternoon.

Luoyang City, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. The circumference is about thirty kilometers. There are 12 gates, three on the east and west, two on the north and four on the south. The main streets in the city are crisscrossed by 24 sections, ranging from 40 to 80 steps wide, all of which run in parallel. Gongqing Shangshu and others take the middle road, and the general pedestrians take the left and right roads.

There are two palaces in the north and south of Luoyang City, and there is a compound road in the middle. Nangong was built in Qin, the Eastern Han Dynasty was the place where the government was discussed, the plane was rectangular, and the central axis was arranged with five halls of non-existence, Chongde, Zhongde, long live the thousand autumns, and Pingshuo.

The North Palace was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty when Emperor Ming, larger than the South Palace, is the place where the emperor's concubines live, the Deyang Hall in the North Palace is magnificent in scale, can accommodate 10,000 people.

In addition to the north and south palaces, the northeast corner of Luoyang has Taicang and arsenal. There is Jin City in the northwest of Nangong, Nanshi in the southern suburbs, and Ma City in the eastern suburbs. In the south of the city, there are also buildings such as Mingtang, Biyong, Lingtai, and Taixue.

It's just that today in front of the magnificent building, Jiang Qi and the others just looked down from afar, and the group did not enter but walked around the city, until they reached a mountain town twenty miles southwest.

The town that Jiang Qi and his entourage arrived at is actually similar to a village, saying that it is a small town, and there are mainly hundreds of families living here. These households are clustered around a wide avenue connected by a dock fort, forming a variety of street markets, much like small towns.

The dock fort that is surrounded by is about three zhang high, the circumference is about two kilometers and it is rectangular, and there are Tibetan military towers, arrow towers, lookouts, arrow battlements, etc. in the city, like a shrunken city tower. Downstairs, two zhang high, more than a zhang wide single open city gate side by side with a rejection of horses, at this moment there are private soldiers equipped with leather armor and swords to guard, domineering very much.

The domineering spirit of Wubao and the fierceness of the guards are undoubtedly inseparable from the corruption and thieves of the imperial court in the past few decades. Nowadays, all rich and powerful families have built Wubao self-supporting private soldiers to protect their families.

It can also be said in a sense that the prevalence of the Dock Fort was also a symbol of the weakness of the Empire.

Walking to the foot of Wubao, looking at the big 'Jiang' on the head of Wubao City, and sighed, Jiang Qi and the others did not feel cynical, but a little kind.

"Fourth brother, this, this, even your 、、, is too big!" Zhang Fei said in surprise with his big mouth that could be put into duck eggs.

"It's almost time to catch up with our county," Xia Houlan said with emotion.

"It turns out that the senior brother is really a rich second generation、、、" This is what Tong Fei said.

"In the future, when you have money, Yun will also build a 、、、," Zhao Yun said with envy and jealousy.

"It seems that we will all have to take refuge in the fourth brother in the future、、、 hahaha," Guan Yu also said lively.

"Maybe it's just a dream、、, maybe it won't be long before we're out of it?" Looking at the elated appearance of the brothers, Jiang Qi didn't have much of a mood.

Especially after seeing this tall Wubao, Jiang Qi has experienced the struggle in this high gate and deep mansion. If he could, Jiang Qi would prefer to take his mother and sister to live in another place. Even if there are no luxurious mansions and cloud-like slaves, at least there is no need to look at other people's faces.

Standing under the tall dock fort, before a few people could sigh, a group of sabre-rattling guards greeted them.

At this moment, the reason why Wubao has such a big pomp is that he doesn't pay attention to it just by looking at the momentum of a few of them and the weapons they carry with them.

When the guards surrounded several people, a strong man in his forties in the leader asked, "Who is here, and why did you trespass here!?" ”

Someone came to talk, and without waiting for Jiang Qi to answer, Jiang Da, who was driving the carriage behind him, had already run up with a limp of three or two steps. I saw that he didn't say much, he punched the person in the chest, and at the same time shouted excitedly: "Second brother, I don't recognize my brother、、、、"

"You, you're 、、、 big brother!" The person who came took a punch and almost caught fire, but when he heard Jiang Da's words, he was stunned. After looking at it for a while, he immediately burst into tears with excitement, hugged Jiang Da, and cried bitterly.

This time, the two men who hugged their heads and cried were about to confuse the two sides of the tension. Just when they were confused with each other, Jiang's mother and daughter Jiang Lin'er, who were full of emotion, stepped out of the carriage.

Looking at the two men who hugged their heads and cried, Jiang's mother felt a lot. After more than ten years, it has been a sea of vicissitudes, and after half a ring, he said with a smile: "It's been more than ten years, and when I left, Li Ke was still a reckless teenager, and now it's okay."

Coincidentally, it turned out that the person who just stopped the convoy was the younger brother of the housekeeper Jiang Da 'Jiang Li', who has been strong since he was a child, except for his brother Jiang Da, who has few opponents, and is currently the manager of the Jiang family's guard battalion.

Although the guard battalion is now under the management of Jiang Hai, Jiang Qi's uncle and Jiang Mufang's younger brother. But there are many big and small things in the clan, and the usual training falls into the hands of Jiang Li, a loyal general. Jiang Li also lived up to the master's expectations, and the whole team looked good, but his eyesight was not very good today, and he almost made a joke.

Hearing what the master said, Jiang Da remembered what to do, quickly put away his mood, dragged his brother over and said, "Force, I haven't seen the eldest lady, the son and the little lady soon!" ”

"Jiang Li has seen the eldest lady, the son, and the little lady. I just didn't know that the eldest lady was disturbed by the car, and I wanted to atone for my sins. Jiang Li was startled at first, and then knelt down on one knee and saluted and said.

"It's your duty, father and mother." Jiang Mu asked weakly.

"The lord and the old lady are all in the castle, and Li immediately leads the way for the eldest lady、、、、" I didn't expect the eldest lady who had been married for a long time to be so polite, Jiang Li felt for a moment in his heart, and immediately leaned over and said.

"The eldest lady is back home, and you won't let go of the 、、、 yet"

After seeing the ceremony, Jiang Li, who was slightly excited, shouted excitedly towards the door of Wubao. Of course, the reason why Jiang Li was so excited was not only because of the brotherly encounter, but also because he remembered in his heart that the eldest lady was kind to them back then.

With the guide, the group entered smoothly through the gate, and naturally greeted them along the way. Even many old servants recognized Jiang Fang, who had been married for a long time, and brought their children to greet him.

That scene was directly moved by Jiang Fang, Jiang Da, who had been away from home for more than ten years, and the maid Xiaocui was crying. Seeing that the three of them were in deep love, Jiang Lin'er and Jiang Da's three children were also wiping their tears.

The people present did not react, but now I am afraid that only the heartless Jiang Qi is still riding around to observe the structure of Wubao.

Compared with the enthusiasm of the clansmen, Jiang Qi felt more at this moment the enormity of Wubao in his heart, and in his eyes, there were probably no less than five hundred courtyards along the walled gate to the innermost main building.

Goodbye all kinds of subordinates, guards are not less than five hundred, if you add the number of clansmen, it should not be less than three thousand, and this is only a branch of the surname Jiang in Luoyang, if you add Tianshui County, it will be even more exaggerated, since then Jiang Qi can't help but sigh that he underestimated his family before.

In the greeting, Jiang Qi and his entourage soon came to the main house in the middle of Wubao. The whole main house becomes a high-platform building, carved beams and painted buildings, eaves and arches, magnificent as a palace, the gate of vermilion lacquer, but also gives people a feeling of Zhumen wine and meat smell, originally in Handan Jiang Qi thought that the royal palace was luxurious enough, but now see this, especially win three points.

Naturally, those who can live in this main house are undoubtedly the descendants of the Jiang family.

Now that the Jiang Mansion has heard that the eldest lady is back, the door has already been opened, and the water is splashed on the ground, and the pomp is very grand.

Jiang Qi and his party had just dismounted and got out of the car, only to see that surrounded by a large group of servants and maids, two gorgeously dressed and graceful old men had already walked out quickly, and these two old men were Jiang Qun, the current head of the Jiang family, and his wife Gao.

As soon as Jiang Fang saw the two old men going out, her red eyes once again couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart and shed tears. Immediately, I saw her three or two steps to meet the old mother, who was close to the age of sixties, but was very energetic, and suddenly threw herself into her arms and cried like a child.

And when he saw his daughter's thin body and haggard face, Gao also cried. Among them, there is the joy of getting together, and there is also the telling of longing.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qi, who dismounted, also hurriedly pulled his sister to kneel on both knees and bowed. The old man on the side, who was also very excited, saw them kneeling on the ground, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, pulled up the Jiang Qi brothers and sisters, and asked kindly, "But 、、、 grandson?"

Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin'er replied at the same time: "Grandson Jiang Qi and Jiang Boxiao have seen their grandfather" "Granddaughter Jiang Lin'er has seen her grandfather,"

"Okay, it's good to go home, they've all grown up, and it's just a pair of Lin'er, and Fang'er will be blessed in the future." Jiang Qun smiled and pulled a pair of Bi'er and said. But after saying that, he immediately felt that there was a problem there, and this thought seemed to be that the two grandchildren had just signed up with the surname Jiang, and he couldn't help but look at the eldest daughter who was still crying suspiciously.

This is the Qi'er and Lin'er mentioned in Fang'er's letter before. Well, well, they're all grown up! Come and let my grandmother take a look、、、、" Hearing the greeting of Jiang Qi's brothers and sisters, Gao also took his daughter's hand and came over, and was overjoyed to see the two grandsons who had never met.

"Grandson Jiang Qi and Jiang Boxiao have seen their grandmother" and "Granddaughter Jiang Lin'er has seen their grandmother", just got up and saw their grandmother with a kind face, and hurriedly saluted and greeted.

"Good, good grandson, you look good. Especially Lin'er looks exactly like Fang'er when she was a child. Gao pulled up his two beautiful grandsons with joy on his face and praised them, but he also found out that there was something wrong with them, and he also looked at his daughter with the same expression as her husband Jiang Qun. muttered: "Jiang Qi、、、 Jiang Lin? ”

Returning to the house with questions, it is inevitable that the family will sigh and care after not seeing the family for many years. It's just that Jiang Qun and his wife Gao are most concerned about the surnames of their two grandchildren now. In the past, when the family letter I received, and when the youngest daughter came back, it only stated that a pair of children were born, named Qi and Lin, but now the surname Jiang is what's going on.

Seeing the doubts of her parents, after rejecting all her subordinates, Jiang Fang took a pair of children Jiang Qi and Jiang Lin to kneel down and said: "It's a daughter who is not good, she didn't listen to her father and mother to marry the Wang family before, and she didn't dare to tell the truth to her father and mother over the years." In fact, it was 、、、、、、 fifteen years ago", as the words began, Jiang Fang gradually told what he had experienced over the years.

Listening to what his daughter said, Jiang Qun, who was upright at that time, almost didn't break the table, and Gao was even more angry and scolded the Wang family for being ruthless and unjust. At the same time, thinking about her daughter's experience, she couldn't help but cry with her daughter.

After a long time, Jiang Fang, who had collected her mood, said to her parents: "Now that my son has grown up, my daughter has no worries in her heart, and I want to go back to my hometown today mainly to see if my parents are okay, and we will leave after reading 、、、"

"Where are you going! Do you want to go back to Handan? As soon as she heard her daughter's words, Gao didn't agree at first, she didn't want her daughter to suffer outside anymore.

"Since ancient times, I have married my husband and my son. Fang'er is already very satisfied with having Qi'er now、、、" Jiang Fang said while holding her son's hand.

"Mother rest assured, Qi swears that she will never let you suffer again、、、、 Jiang Qi, who has always been indifferent, hurriedly supported her mother and swore an oath.

"Fang'er, what nonsense are you talking about, what kind of marriage and husband, as long as there is a father in your place, don't go. This will always be your home、、、、" Jiang Qun, who had not spoken, put away his anger at the Wang family, got up and helped his daughter up.

"But father, aren't you afraid of Qi'er!?"

"Yes, what is it、、、 unknown person? Hum. Do you think my Jiang family will be so ignorant? ”

"But the people gossip? My daughters have been married for more than ten years、、、" Jiang Fang said worriedly.

"So what, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jiang family, since Qi'er and Lin'er have been surnamed Jiang since childhood, then they are naturally the sons-in-law of my Jiang family. Whoever dares to talk nonsense will let him come to my head of the family, from today on, Qi'er will be the eldest grandson of my Jiang family! ”

"What! The eldest grandson、、、, father, you can't help it, you still have three sons-in-law!" As soon as he heard the eldest grandson, Jiang Fang exclaimed at that time. She knew very well what this eldest grandson meant in the family.

"Fang'er! Whatever your father says、、, make up for you! Seeing that his daughter disagreed, Gao hurriedly persuaded him.

Now seeing that her parents are saying this, Jiang Fang is not easy to refuse, and hurriedly said to her son: "I haven't thanked my grandfather and grandmother!" ”

Seeing that his grandfather and mother did not have any pretentious words, Jiang Qi was moved in his heart. His inexplicable eyes, which had been indifferent, turned red all of a sudden, and there was some bright fluorescent light in his eye sockets.

Abandoned by his family since he was a child, he finally found a harbor of rest at this moment. Immediately, Jiang Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Grandson Jiang Qi thanked his grandfather, grandmother,", and at this moment, after removing the word 'outside', Jiang Qi officially broke away from the Wang family and entered the Jiang family in Luoyang.

"Okay、、、, from now on, my Jiang family will have a pair of Lin'er! Hahaha、、、 the Jiang family will rely on you in the future! ”

Listening to his grandfather's hearty laughter, Jiang Qi swore in his heart at this moment: 'Qi is willing to contribute to the prosperity of the family、、、
