Chapter 50: Returning Home

A conflict at Tongcheng Post Station allowed Cheng Yuguan, Cheng Lang, and Li Mian to resolve the conflict a few days ago, let go of the mustard in their hearts, and the three of them set off early the next morning, and they became talking and laughing again.

"Childe, let's go."

Not far from the post station, on a small hill, the inkstone was shivering with a shiver, and he reached out to pull the son.

Wang Qin watched the huge team at the gate of the post station go all the way, knowing that he couldn't even see his back, so he turned his head to look at Xiyan.

Finding that his face was still frightened, Wang Qin couldn't help but reprimand, "It's just a wait-and-see from afar, you're so scared." ”

Xi Yan was reprimanded by his son-in-law.

In the past, Childe has always been gentle, never getting angry easily, and never losing his temper with others. Now, Childe seems to have changed in a short period of time. I don't know the reason for this, but I just patiently explained.

"Childe, after all, you and Liu Zeming are plotting to harm Miss Cheng. Now that Liu Zeming is in prison, I heard that he will not only be beaten but also exiled. Now that you have Cheng Gongzi's forgiveness, the big thing is small, don't come forward rashly, and when the matter calms down, you still have to take the imperial examination and get ahead. ”

In the past, when I saw that the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family were kind, I thought they were from ordinary people. After this time, Xi Yan completely understood what it meant to be a nobleman.

Whether it is life or death is a matter of a noble person's words.

Although his son-in-law is extraordinary and has few talents, he has no foundation after all, and he has made mistakes. Now that the nobles are forgiving, don't rush to the nobles, An An will take his own path well, and talk about it later.

Washing the inkstone and talking bitterly, I didn't know which sentence provoked my son-in-law, Wang Qin's face suddenly turned blue.

"What's the use of being famous? What is the use of the imperial examination and the first? Yu Zhi County was born as a second-class jinshi, and now it is not the fourth prince who has been degraded to a white body with a word, and there is no day to turn over in this life? We, the civilians, in front of their nobles, are like game puppets, playing with you for a while when we are good, and leaving when we are not in the mood! ”

Wang Qin's voice was hoarse, and his face was bruised, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Xi Yan looked and listened, and didn't know how to react for a while, but subconsciously said in his mouth, "You are born to be noble, what does it have to do with us?" We just need to do our duty, isn't it good to live our own lives? If the son is the first, the wish of the old lady for a lifetime will be fulfilled, I don't know how happy it is! ”

Wang Qin didn't listen to it at all, he only thought about the three people who appeared briefly at the door of the post station just now.

On weekdays, the arrogant master Yicheng smiled and stammered, leading the horses to the four princes, but the four princes didn't even look at them.

Cheng Lang and Cheng Yuguan too, they didn't take the courtesy of the post guards in their eyes, as if they couldn't see them in their eyes, they talked to themselves, and then set off.

Wang Qin watched a few people leave so easily, as if he had no nostalgia for the matter of Tongcheng, and an inexplicable fire was burning in his heart.

originally thought that Cheng Lang asked them to come to the door to admit their mistakes, and Miss Cheng would lose her temper with them after she came back, either to accuse or to forgive.

Unexpectedly, they didn't stay at all, and they didn't intend to give themselves a result, so they just left.

It seems that in the past two years, they have climbed mountains and watched waters, and they have just passed the time on outings and hunting, without any friendship.

Xi Yan didn't know that his son-in-law had drilled the tip of the horns, and was first brought into the world of flowers by Liu Zeming, a swinger, and later framed him with power, thinking that the world was in hand. As a result, he was instantly pierced through the cowhide and became a prisoner.

A simple teenager in a small town, his biggest trouble in the past was nothing more than studies and unrequited love.

Suddenly, he was caught up in right and wrong.

His sense of confusion, disparity, loss, and shame all came to his heart, causing Wang Qin, who was gentle and smiling in the past, to become acrimonious and angry.

His world of faith collapsed, but Cheng Lang and Cheng Yuguan acted as if nothing had happened, and they were not painful.

This made him have a nameless fire in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only show one or two to the little guy in front of him.

Seeing the green tendons on the neck of the child's excitement burst, the inkstone suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and when Wang Qin looked at the back of the person in the distance, he hit the back of his son's head hard, knocking Wang Qin unconscious at once.

Wang Qin fainted without noticing, and it was easy to wash the sturdy body of the inkstone to carry the son who had lost a lot of weight these days.

On the hill, I saw Xiyan running down the mountain quickly, while muttering non-stop, "Childe was like that just now, he must have been evil, I must hurry up and tell Mrs. and let Mrs. find a master to exorcise evil spirits for Son!" ”

Wang Qin's entanglement, collapse and encounter, Cheng Yuguan naturally didn't know.

Rushing to the road is already something that she is used to in this industry. Therefore, nothing happened all the way and I arrived in the capital smoothly.

Standing at the foot of the capital and seeing the familiar city gate again, Cheng Yuguan felt a sense of being suddenly separated from the world.

The previous life has long been blurred, Chengjia Village is her hometown, and in the future, the capital will be her second home.

As for Tongcheng, it was like a short-lived escape dream that made her hide for two years, and now she is back again to face reality.

"Your Highness! Miss! Three sons! ”

The chief butler of the Cheng family's ancestral land, Lu Jinliang, wearing a round-necked brocade robe with dark patterns of flowers, appeared in front of everyone, the corners of his eyes drooped, and he was born with a gentle face.

Li Mian and Cheng Yuguan dismounted together.

"Uncle Liang, why are you here? Since you are from your hometown, my mother is also here? ”

Cheng Lang was a little excited to see the housekeeper who grew up watching him grow up, and more importantly, the housekeeper is his mother's right-hand man, and if the housekeeper comes, then the mother should also come.

When Lu Jinliang saw the long-lost third son, the smile on his face overflowed even more, "The master has to be reused by His Majesty now, and the lady naturally wants to come to the capital from her hometown and take care of the backyard for the master." Just arrived, and the yard of you and the eldest lady was cleaned up, and the old slave came to pick you up and take you home to see if you liked it. ”

When Cheng Lang heard this, he couldn't wait to go home, he looked back at Li Mian and his little sister, "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of you all the way, thank you another day." Now that my mother is waiting at home, we will stay with Her Highness soon, little sister, let's go quickly! ”

Getting along all the way, Cheng Lang has always been respectful of the four princes who are cold and silent, and now that he has arrived in the capital, he is naturally even more impatient.

Cheng Yuguan listened, but his heart was full of curiosity.

She had long heard Li Mian say that her uncle had received the Gyeonggi Defense. But the leader of the Jinwuwei Forbidden Army is just a third grade, and he is not conspicuous at all in the capital. You must know that just in the capital, there are still the leaders of the four gates of the second grade and the general of the Yulin Army of the first grade. is the title on the uncle, although it is a virtual knight, it is also a product.

But judging from the fact that the eldest aunt is also in Beijing and almost the whole family has moved to the capital, the position of the eldest uncle may be more important than she thought.

"Fourth brother, let's go back first."

Cheng Yuguan said goodbye to Li Mian.

The corners of Lu Jinliang's smiling eyes jumped, it seems that the relationship between the eldest lady and the four princes is not the face of the queen as they thought before, but the nominal exchange, but more intimate than he and his wife thought before.

Li Mian nodded and looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Come to the palace to see the queen mother in two days, she misses you very much." ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "That's nature." ”

The two said a few words, and Li Mian led the team away.

Seeing the four princes walk away, Lu Jinliang hurriedly recruited the people he brought to take over Cheng Lang, Cheng Yuguan and his party.

Seeing that the person in front of him stretched out his hand towards him, Xiao Wu and Liuyun both looked at Cheng Yuguan.

Tongcheng is rich and comfortable, so although it is remote, most of the guys in the shop also want to stay in Tongcheng, only Xiao Wu and Liuyun and Cheng Yuguan return to the capital.

Cheng Lei was also relieved to see that Xiao Wu took the initiative to return to Beijing.

The two of them, one is the little maid who is new to Cheng Yuguan's side, and the other is the former Xiao Xuan, who is still the housekeeper of Cheng's Mansion for the first time.

Cheng Yuguan nodded, and Liuyun and Xiao Wu handed over the baggage to Cheng's subordinates, and only brought some close-fitting ones to follow behind Cheng Yuguan.

Lu Jinliang, as the housekeeper of Cheng Mansion, is old and sophisticated, and knows everything that happens, but his face has not changed, and he only flatters the two masters to go home.

"Mother! —”

As soon as he got home, Cheng Lang didn't even have time to look at the gate of his new home, so he went straight around the Shadow Wall Stone and went to the main hall.

Mrs. Cheng has always been in the main hall during the day, handling affairs in the house or entertaining guests, so Cheng Lang ran to the lobby when she entered the door.

Lu Jinliang smiled and looked at the third son as if he was a child, and called his mother when he went home, while leading Cheng Yuguan to the house.

The new mansion of the Cheng family, with a few big characters on the general's mansion, is quite extraordinary. The high platform and columns are majestic.

"Our Marquis Cheng is also a first-class title, and this mansion is given by His Majesty."

Cheng Yu was clear.

Further inside, Lu Jinliang pointed to the shadow wall at the entrance, "This is still the stone that Miss transported back in Yangzhou, Mrs. likes it, and it is specially placed at the gate." ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "Madame likes it." ”

The two of them went inside, and General Cheng's Mansion was very different from Cheng Hou's Mansion.

Chenghou Mansion is exquisite, green trees and flowers, one step at a time. Pavilions and pavilions, ring each other.

General Cheng's mansion is comfortable and atmospheric.

The green trees in the mansion are all tall and straight poplars and plane trees, etc., and there is no twisting plum and peach tree in the Hou Mansion. The corridor is not a rich appearance depicted by gold paint, but a green corridor with a vermilion roof, generous and neat.

"This is a general's mansion of the former dynasty, and the lady saw that it was neat and tidy, and after a simple repair, she moved in. You know, Madame has always disliked the enchanting and charming, and such a comfortable person is right for our Cheng family's temperament. And your yard, in the northeast corner of the backyard, where it's high in the middle of the house, and there's a trotting slope, where you can go for a walk if you have nothing to do. ”

"The eldest aunt has a heart."

Cheng Yuguan nodded.

Lu Jinliang was not surprised that Cheng Yuguan did not change his words, obviously, he had already known it.

While the two were talking, they came to the main hall.

Cheng Lang was standing beside his mother and talking, and Mrs. Cheng listened silently with a smile on her lips.

Cheng Yuguan approached, and the two of them looked up together.

The same thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and broad lips, as if a new mold came out. Obviously, Cheng Lang looks very similar to his mother.

But Cheng Lang has a hint of simplicity in his temperament, and he looks like a handsome young man.

Mrs. Cheng's face has a hint of heroism, and she is an atmospheric beauty.

Seeing Cheng Yuguan coming in, both of them had a smile in their eyes.

"Little sister, come here!"

Cheng Lang greeted Cheng Yuguan, and when Cheng Yuguan approached, Cheng Lang looked at his mother proudly.

"Look, has my little sister been out of luck in the past two years? The eyebrows and eyes are clearer, and the bridge of the nose is more straight, if I don't look at it every day, I would think that I have changed a person. ”

Cheng Lang's tone was proud, as if Cheng Yuguan had opened for a long time, and it was his credit.

Mrs. Cheng glanced at her son, "Yuguan has grown well, but in the past two years, it has just lost baby fat, what does it have to do with you?" ”

After saying the third son, Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Yuguan and stretched out her hand, Cheng Yuguan stepped forward, took Mrs. Cheng's hand, and smiled on her face.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Yuguan carefully, and then nodded, "Okay, it seems that in the past two years, you have not treated yourself badly." My son is a born heartless man, and in the past two years, you have taken him with me, and I thought you were going to worry about being haggard. OK! ”

"Mother!"

Cheng Lang was dissatisfied.

Mrs. Cheng was not used to it, "What are you like, don't you count it in your heart?" How much has my mother worried about you since you were a child? Finally, in the past two years, I have become cleaner, and I look a lot younger. ”

Cheng Lang was angry, but he couldn't refute it.

Mrs. Cheng extinguished her son's anger and looked at Cheng Yuguan again, "It's good for you to come back." The stinky boy must have made you a lot of trouble in the past two years, and in the future, you will hand it over to the eldest aunt, and you will live your own idle life. ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "If you say so, I don't care." The past two years have been tiring, and now it's time to relax. ”

"Little sister!"

Hearing Cheng Yuguan say the same, Cheng Lang shouted dissatisfiedly again.

Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Yuguan glanced at each other and smiled.

Liuyun and Xiao Wu saw that the two were so harmonious, and they also glanced at each other, and their hearts relaxed a lot.

A home is a forbidden place for the housewife. Even if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law intervene, it also depends on the thoughts of the housewife.

Her own lady is an independent and strong inside, and the two collide, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Fortunately, at present, Mrs. Cheng is a reasonable and amiable person, and in the Cheng family in the future, they will not be sad to follow Miss.

Tired all the way, without saying a few words, Mrs. Cheng asked both of them to rest first.

Cheng Yuguan took Liuyun into the backyard, and Xiao Wu stayed at the door to do chores first.

There are three tall houses in a row, as well as the deep and corridor companion rooms on both sides, Liuyun is more satisfied in his heart, and it is much more spacious than in Tongcheng.

A grandmother came to greet her with a team of maids.

"The slave and maid Ma Po were pointed out by the lady to do chores for the young lady. These few, begonias, kumquats, ginkgo, and red plums are waiting for you. ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded, "Okay, there is only one Liuyun by my side, and you will all listen to her assignment in the future." I have always loved purity, you only do your duty to do your own thing, if you are not sure, go and ask Liuyun. ”

Liuyun held his breath at this time, held his chin, held his breath, walked out from behind the young lady, looked at the few in front of him, and saluted each other.

"Alright, I'm tired, let's go rest for a while. Liuyun, you handed over a few handovers with Ma Pozi in the yard. ”

Ma Pozi watched the eldest lady neatly order down and entered the main house. When he waited for others, he could only look at the flowing clouds.

Although he is an "old man", he has to listen to the newcomers.
