They waited on the shore for about two or three minutes, and then the boat came to the shore, the plank bridge was erected, and the people on board began to gather on the deck.

Xia He was on the deck, heard a commotion from below, screamed, and glanced over, because she was born in the state capital, although her status is low, but she has always stayed in a big family's house, it is the first time to come to the county government, see that everyone is very enthusiastic, are waiting to see Lord Shen.

When everyone saw the people on the deck, they exclaimed: "Which little sister is it?" Is it Lord Shen's wife? What do you see the dress? ”

"Is it Lin Piao? Is that Lin Piao? ”

The people who had seen Lin Piao hurriedly retorted: "Don't be blind, that's not Lin Piao!" I guess it's the little sister, maybe someone they know. ”

I can't say why I can't say why.

Lin Piao and Shen Hong walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck, listening to the bursts of exclamations and admiration below, it was a tingling scalp, and the last time this kind of terrifying experience was the last time.

Shen Hong's entrance examination was already very serious when he was in the middle of the examination, and he felt that it had become more serious now.

Fortunately, there was someone to escort him this time, and there were attendants by his side, otherwise Lin Piao was really afraid that he would be squeezed into pieces of paper.

Chapter 196

Everyone got off the boat one after another, and the county magistrate watched them walk down below, and his mood was excited, knowing that in addition to the dean of Ludong Academy, Shen Hong and Li Lingyue, who appeared now, were the biggest officials he had ever seen.

It's still a Jingguan!

If this is done well, the reception is good, everything is done well, and it is favored by one or two eyes, then it will not be a smooth progress in the future.

He hurriedly caught up with him and walked quickly to the shore: "Lord Shen! Lee-sama! It's been a long journey! Quick, quick, come down and take a rest, the upper room is ready, please don't dislike us The small place is simple. ”

Ergou has seen a lot of this kind of scene, and he doesn't need to turn his brain, and the speed at which he opens his mouth is like a conditioned reflex: "Where is it, the water and soil in the hometown are the most nourishing people, and this is the best place." ”

There was a burst of laughter from the county magistrate, as if Ergou had said something funny, and several people quickly entered a state of talking and laughing.

Shen Hong saw that the carriage was covered with new brocade, and he glanced at it and said, "There is no need for a carriage, the water and soil in my hometown have not been seen for many years, so let's take a walk on the road." ”

Before, although they were also extremely luxurious when they were in Yuzhou, they already had the second aunt and the second pillar in it, whether it was to welcome the superior or the family, there should be a scene, and the affection that should be given must be given, but Shen Honghe has no affection for this county order now, and he does not eat him.

Seeing him say this, the county magistrate looked at him, and when he saw that his expression was gentle, he did not look like he was dissatisfied, and he did not dare to persuade him more, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's good to take a walk, it's good to take a walk, but there are too many people around here, so as not to crowd the adults, I will ask someone to drive them away." ”

Shen Hong looked at him: "So I asked them to stand on both sides of the street, and leave a road in the middle that can be walked, but there is no need to drive it, the road is everyone's, and others can't walk without me leaving." ”

The county magistrate smiled and nodded repeatedly, and ordered people to go down and open the way, and let the people from the government advise everyone to stand on both sides and not crowd in the middle.

Lin Piao looked at the posture of this county order on the side, and felt a little worse than Yu Niang's father, although Yu Niang's father was also quite a bastard, but after all, he was a literary critic, his heart was relatively soft, and he also cherished the people very much, if it was Yu Niang's father who saw this kind of scene, he probably wanted to chant a poem, and tearfully sighed about the love of the people, making the scene very warm, rather than trying to drive everyone away.

The county magistrate led the way and said with a smile: "I have prepared some simple meals in the house, and I have invited the two adults and the sons and their wives to go together. ”

Shen Hong said indifferently: "The food in my hometown, every vegetable and every meal is a local taste, which is naturally different from the outside. ”

Ergou waved his hand: "I have to go home first, my family is waiting for me, I have to meet my parents first." ”

The county magistrate heard him say this: "My lord has gone back suddenly, and the family may not be prepared, although the gathering is happy, but it is hard work, and the lower officials will immediately go and invite the parents of the adults to come over, wouldn't it be better to reunite in the house." ”

Ergou nodded: "That's fine." ”

Let his father and mother come over for dinner, save trouble, it is estimated that his father and mother will also be happy, and they will feel that there is light on their faces.

The county magistrate hurriedly ordered someone to do this.

Lin Piao discussed with his second aunt, Uncle Qiu, in the back: "Let's eat first, and then go to Tongxi Building to have a look, since we left here, we haven't seen our Tongxi Building again." ”

The two nodded again and again, and Uncle Qiu looked at Hua Rusui again: "Rusui, let's go to Tongxi Building, you see if you want to rest at home, or go out for a walk with us." ”

"Naturally, we should also take a look at the place where Dazhuang lived in the past."

Uncle Qiu nodded: "That's just a good place to walk around, look around, although it is a small place, but it also has a unique scenery." ”

Hua Rusui nodded.

Xiaoyue is going to go to Taobao Pavilion to see, Juan'er wants to go home first, she first eats the first meal with everyone and falls behind, and then goes home to see her father, everyone has planned the route and the following plan, they walk all the way to see, looking at these very familiar and seemingly unfamiliar street scenes.

Lin Piao couldn't help but say to Xiao Yuejuan'er and Da Zhuang beside him: "I still remember staying in the countryside for a long time at the beginning, as soon as I entered the county government, I entered the city, and I felt fresh when I saw everything, even the eaves felt very high." ”

Now when I come back from Shangjing, I feel that the eaves here are very low, and the buildings along the street always seem to be a little cramped, which is not as wide and atmospheric as Shangjing, and sure enough, everything is contrasted.

Looking at the people who followed them along the street to see the lively people, but in the past few years, there were many young people who were unfamiliar faces, and they were no longer familiar people, and occasionally there were a few familiar faces.

Lin Piao saw familiar faces, and waved to them with a smile, although it was not intimate before, but after a long absence, a wave of his hand already represented everything.

I know you, I remember you, I haven't forgotten.

That's enough.

Shen Hong occasionally looked sideways, and looked at Lin Piao behind him, and saw that he was smiling happily and walking briskly, and felt that this trip had a lot of meaning.

He has no relatives in his family, the tomb is just cold loess, and filial piety is the cornerstone of etiquette and righteousness, but when these people become loess, everything is meaningless in Shen Hong's eyes, and the tears of crying stone tablets cannot be exchanged for relatives, but at least the journey is not meaningless.

Piao'er is very happy.

All the way to the mansion, the main gate opened, and the county magistrate greeted them all the way in.

"Be careful of your step, it's a little damp this autumn, and the slate is always a little slippery."

Before arriving in the living room, I saw the second dog father and the second dog lady standing outside in anticipation, holding their hands nervously, looking anxious, seeing them appear, quickly locked the figure of the second dog in the crowd, and was excited, and shocked, looking at the second dog almost a little afraid to recognize.

Ergou stepped forward quickly: "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and he is only coming back now." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy outside, it's normal that you can't come back." The second dog lady looked at him in a dumbfounded state, and looked up and down again: "God, why do you look so handsome!" ”

The second dog lady slapped her thigh: "He is more handsome than your father when he was young and handsome!" Shangjing is really a good place to raise people. ”

The second dog father also nodded again and again: "Okay, it's good to come back, it's very good." ”

"Inside, please, sit down and talk slowly." The county magistrate looked at Shen Hong: "Lord Shen, please talk to your family inside." ”

As soon as Lin Piao heard this, he became vigilant, and had a bad feeling, what kind of family member is Shen Hong?

I stepped into the threshold, and sure enough, I saw two familiar people.

looked at the two old people who had matured a lot, Shen Hong's cousin, Shen Yuan and Shen Bo.

"Lord Shen's two cousins are also a talent now, teaching and educating people, being a teacher in Qingfeng Academy, spreading the way of sages, it is really the origin of family learning."

The county order specially invited them to accompany them, and they thought that they had done a good job, whether it was to reminisce or show themselves, at this time it was in place to have old friends and relatives by their side.

The county magistrate thought so, but he saw that Lord Shen and Lord Li's expressions were not very warm, no different from before entering the door, and there was still a faint smile on his face.

"Long time no see."

Let's just say hello, and there will be no other words to follow.

The county commander suddenly felt that things were a little bad, and looked at Lin Piao and the others behind him.

Seeing that their expressions did not change much, and even their smiles did not change any longer, they were very salty and not light, and suddenly there was a sense of danger that they had slapped their own sycophants on the horse's hooves.

"Haha, Lord Shen, please sit down, Master Li, Master Li, please sit down, ladies and gentlemen, just eat as you like."

Lin Piao sat down next to Shen Hong, glanced at Shen Yuan and Shen Bo, and then at the county commander's embarrassed expression, this was also too embarrassing, although everyone didn't have any big hatred, but the relationship was really not good.

The county magistrate glanced at the seats, because he wanted to accompany the guests, Shen Yuan and Shen Bo were arranged on both sides, and now that others were going to sit behind them, he smiled and said: "Two Mr. Shen, the guests are the biggest, let's go backwards, how about giving up the seats to the guests, this is the reason for hospitality." ”

Shen Yuan and Shen Bo's faces changed slightly, and they sat without moving: "Where do you want us to sit?" ”

The prefectural order can't just say that they should sit at the end.

Lin Piao didn't want to pull this skin, but it was impossible to let Da Zhuang and Hua Rusui sit on their lower positions, Da Zhuang could not take the imperial examination, the situation was the most passive, if he came back and was pressed by Shen Yuan and Shen Bo, wouldn't it be that he had been mixed up in the past few years, but when it came to it, he gave them a chance to open their mouths, and I don't know if these two people were waiting with some bad water, so he said: "It is reasonable to open another table for the woman and her brother to sit on, so quickly put it away and serve it again." ”

When the county magistrate heard him say this, he replied in a loud voice, saying that he had not thought through everything, and called for someone to carry the table, and immediately set up another table, and first served pastries, and then brought other dishes.

Lin Piao gave up his place to Da Zhuang and took Hua Rusui and Xiao Yuejuan'er to the table next to him.

Everyone sat down like this, and neither side was full, but no one was in the lower position of Shen Yuan and Shen Bo.

When the county magistrate saw this situation, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he felt that he was about to mess things up.

Shen Hong didn't care, he didn't have any opinion of Shen Yuan and Shen Bo, although there were some entanglements in their family in the early years, they had already split up, and now they have nothing to do with each other.

Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Hong and Ergou, he was the eldest son of the Great Shen family, thinking that he should show a little attitude, so he took the initiative to greet him: "Shen Hong, now you are fine in Beijing, and you are still used to being away from home for many years." ”

Shen Hong said lightly: "Because it is not hard to have family members by your side, after getting acquainted with the place, there is no difference between it and your hometown." ”

Shen Yuan nodded, no one opened a new topic for a while, Ergou chatted happily with his father and mother on the side, especially his mother, reached out and touched Ergou's collar, and looked up and down: "Your clothes are so good to touch, our son is also a good person now." ”

As they spoke, they thanked Shen Hong for taking care of Ergou outside, Xie Linpiao several times and three times, Xie Er's aunt, and Uncle Xie Qiu, who thanked them all over again, knowing that their son was outside, and now although he is out, he must have relied on these elders before, eating and dressing is not a trivial matter, no one is helping in Beijing, and a person does not know what he wants to live, how can he have today's spiritual appearance.

The second dog father and mother were too lazy to deal with Shen Yuan and Shen Bo, they had lived in the county government for so few years, although everyone came from the same village, but Shen Yuan and Shen Hong had never interacted with them, even when they met, they didn't say a word to their aunt and uncle, they walked over after a glance, looking like they were amazing, the two of them didn't give them face, and they didn't have to give them face.

While everyone was talking, they didn't take the initiative to deal with Shen Yuan and Shen Bo, and left them aside.

Lin Piao saw the situation at their table on the side, and couldn't understand why these two people were so cheeky, and they were embarrassed to accompany them when they invited them to accompany them, and they didn't want to think about how stiff their relationship was before, and it was only right to think that there was no such thing.

Shen Yuan and Shen Bo exchanged a look, their eyes were a little helpless and dissatisfied, Shen Hong is now coming back from the outside, his attitude is really cold, although he used to be such a character, but he used to be young, and now he is not young, and he has been trained outside, it is impossible not to understand the world of people, and to treat them like this, obviously not giving them face.

He is now developed, but he has no reason to put on such a show, relying on his status to humiliate people.

The faces of the two also turned cold, after all, they are scholars, they have their own backbone.

At first, they were happy about Shen Hong's return, and when the county magistrate came to the door, they also felt that their faces were bright, but now that they think about it, they just wish that they hadn't come here and suffered this snub.

Lin Piaocai didn't care what they were thinking, he was the most fed, and when he was full, he had to go out for a walk, he couldn't do it without some strength, he had a bad appetite after dangling on the boat for a long time, and this time he stepped on the ground, felt that his stomach was empty, he lowered his head and made two bowls of rice, and began to wipe his mouth when he was full of food and drink.

Wiping her mouth, the maid came up to serve her mouth and drink tea, this meal was over, Lin Piao was too lazy to care about what Shen Yuan and Shen Bo wanted to do, seeing that they were still chatting, he said: "Let's have a good meal, so we will go out first." ”

Shen Hong looked up and nodded: "Be careful on the road, I'll let the attendants follow you." ”

"Then you eat slowly." Lin Piao led the people out, knowing that Juan'er's heart was about to drift home, so he said: "Juan'er, don't delay, hurry home, they should pack up some of the things that have been unloaded, you go and get the things, and make them happy." ”

Juan'er nodded, couldn't suppress the smile on her face, she hadn't seen her father and mother for a long time, although there have been correspondence over the years, but where is the letter comparable to seeing a real person, Juan'er said happily: "My father and mother told me in the letter that I have added a sister to the family in the past two years, and I have bought a lot of things for my sister." ”

Juan'er knew that there were other children above her, but because she was weak and did not feed, so when she arrived, because of her poor health, her father and mother had always been worried about her, and she was sometimes very worried about her father and mother at home, afraid that they would think too much about themselves, and later wrote that she was pregnant with a child and gave birth to a younger sister, and she was also very happy in her heart, thinking that there was a sister to accompany her father, and she would not call them too lonely and difficult.

She was afraid that her little sister would not be in good health, so she specially grabbed some medicine to nourish her body in Shangjing, which were all prepared, and when the time came, she would use it to stew chicken, eat it every seven days, and keep it to replenish her vitality.

Juan'er went happily, Lin Piao looked at Xiao Yue on the side, Xiao Yue smiled a little, she was happy for Juan'er, but she had no home to go back to.

I have to say that she also has a family, but should she go back shy for the sake of family reunion?

Xiao Yue felt very bored, even if she went back, even if the family was happily reunited, they said some good things to themselves, it was not for themselves, it was for money, and now that they are rich and prosperous, they can give them a lot of things, and their attitude towards themselves will change.

But what is the point of this change in attitude, she really feels disdainful, it is better to accompany her sister-in-law to walk around the streets, and everyone happily talk a few words together.

Everyone walked all the way, there were attendants to escort, Lin Piao was familiar with the way, deliberately avoided the place where there was a lot of people, walked in the small alley, even if they met people coming and going, they would not be watched for a while, they were all the aborigines here, so they took Hua Rusui to look around, and introduced the things around to Hua Rusui, or to talk about things related to the two pillars.

Hua Rusui followed them and looked around, and felt that it was quite magical, such a small place, Da Zhuang was a person who could not take the imperial examination, and the rest of the family was either studying or practicing martial arts, only he was in business.
