Today's Qingzhou is a well-known and wealthy county in Great Xia. Not only rice is abundant, but also specialty canned fruits and camellia oil are also available.

Although the sun is scorching, there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going on the street. There are also many carts along the street selling late-ripening watermelons. Today's watermelons are not a rare thing in Qingzhou.

Revisiting the old place, the feeling will be different every time. Jiang Yuqing asked Bai Xiaoshi: "What do you think of Qingzhou now compared to before?" ”

Bai Xiaoshi said: "The world is upside down, in the past Qingzhou, the streets were small and narrow, but now the streets have widened a lot, not to mention, there are small buildings on both sides."

There were hardly any beggars to be seen on the streets, and the people were all neatly dressed, with smiles on their faces and different mental outlooks. ”

I accidentally walked to He'an Hall. The old doctor with a poisonous mouth back then is no longer there, and now the doctor in this shop has been replaced by his apprentice.

Although he hadn't seen him for many years, he still recognized Jiang Yuqing at a glance. Because of the unique red lotus mark on her forehead.

The doctor sitting in the hall was ecstatic, and immediately leaned over to salute Jiang Yuqing, calling him uncle.

Jiang Yuqing accepted his salute and said, I just stopped by to take a look, and I will leave in a while, don't worry about me.

The disciple nodded yes, and went to be busy without mentioning it. Jiang Yuqing looked around the store, rummaged through the medicine cabinet, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded with satisfaction. After greeting the disciple, he went out.

Seeing that there were still sellers of chilled fruits on the street, Jiang Yuqing bought two bowls, one bowl for himself to eat, and one bowl for Bai Xiaoshi's exclusive bowl.

Ice is made of saltpeter, and the fruit is a real variety of fruits, cut into small pieces, and made of sugar water, which is cool and sweet. Take a bite and half of the heat can go down.

Business at the stall was very good, and the owners were an extremely young couple. The woman, in particular, looked quite familiar.

The woman looked at her carefully, recognized her first, was surprised and happy, but she was afraid that there were many people here, so she only came to her table and asked softly, "But the Qingbao of the third master Jiang's family?" ”

Jiang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who she was: "You are Granny Yang's granddaughter, Yang Xiaoyue?"

Yang Xiaoyue nodded, almost squinting with a smile: "It's me." Saying that, he called out to her busy husband: "Xianggong, look who is back." ”

Jiang Yuqing looked at it, yo, this is also an acquaintance, Qi Xiaopang of the Qi family, the guy who is obviously fatter than her, but always laughs at her chubby girl.

At the beginning, he always called her a chubby girl, Jiang Yuqing called him squint, and the two hurt each other a lot. After the battle, after a while, I got together again and dug up the insects. Now I think about it full of memories.

Unexpectedly, he actually married Yang Xiaoyue. Childhood sweetheart, knowing the roots, it's not bad.

Qi Xiaopang also recognized Jiang Yuqing, and said with a smile: "We were still talking a few days ago that your two elder brothers got married, and you should almost come back."

I didn't expect to see you at the stall today. You haven't been in the house yet, have you? ”

Jiang Yuqing shook his head and said, "No, I just entered Qingzhou City, and I'll go back in a while." ”

The couple wanted to talk to Jiang Yuqing more, but there was always an endless stream of guests at the stall, and they really couldn't have too much time.

Jiang Yuqing and Bai Xiaoshi left the stall after eating, and they didn't dare to give money, for fear of being sprayed.

She said to Bai Xiaoshi: "Every time I go back to Qingzhou, even if I don't do anything, just walk on the street, on the road, and hear the familiar local sound, I will feel very cordial and reassured, why do you say this?" ”

Bai Xiaoshi thought for a while and said, "Kiss or not, kiss the soil." Probably this is the hometown? ”

"You're right!"

Jiang Yuqing rode Bai Xiaoshi and walked back all the way.

At this time, the paddy fields on both sides of the village road have been planted with second-crop rice.

As far as the eye can see, the emerald green seedlings are like a green carpet, stretching between the mountains. The quiet and harmonious village in the distance is exceptionally beautiful.

The water is murmuring in the ditch at the edge of the field, and occasionally, the old farmer can be seen laying soil on the ridge with a hoe on his back, and his cattle grazing leisurely on the side.

The old farmer looked up and met her. The old farmer was instantly excited: "Good baby, are you back?" "It's Old Man Jiang.

Jiang Yuqing was also surprised, and hurriedly jumped off the back of the deer: "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

The ditch is a little wide, the old man Jiang is old, Jiang Yuqing is afraid that he will walk too quickly and fall into the ditch, so he hurriedly jumped over and took his hoe to help him up: "The sun is so big, why don't you go home, what should you do if you have heat stroke?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm in good health, and I can kill a tiger."

But you doll, what are you looking at on the road with such a big sun? Hurry up and get home early. Your grandmother took chilled watermelon, and it was very sweet. “

Jiang Yuqing carried a hoe, led the sturdy buffalo, accompanied the old man Jiang, and the two of them walked home slowly.

Jiang Yuqing praised his cow as he walked: "Grandpa, this cow is really good, big, strong, oily and slippery." When did you buy it? ”

The old man said, "I bought it in the first half of last year." Didn't our old scalper disappear a few years ago? I'm so old.

Tell me, how can we do it without cattle at home?

So in the first half of last year, when I was driving the cattle market, I bought this buffalo again. It's called Big Black, how about it? Not bad! ”

Jiang Yuqing nodded and agreed: "Well, it's really good, it's big enough, and it looks like it's strong and strong enough." ”

The old man was even happier, and said proudly: "It's still my granddaughter who has vision, unlike your grandmother, the older she gets, the more confused she becomes."

If you don't let me raise cattle, my old man will be rare in his life. ”

On the way, I met familiar villagers, and greeted her with a smile, "Yo, Qingbao is back!" ”

"This girl is good-looking when she is young, and the more she grows up, the better she looks."

"Qingbao, remember to come to my mother-in-law's house to play later, I have a lot of delicious food in the house!" Etcetera.

Here, she is not the future crown princess who is high above, nor is she the unreachable protector of the county.

She is just the eternal cute and loving Qingbao with a warm smile in the hearts of the elders, the child of Xijindu.

This is the hometown, which is what the wanderers have always pursued, and the meaning of returning to the roots.

Seeing her come back, the family was overjoyed.

Lao Hu was especially happy, holding her face and saying, "My good baby is really getting better and better, and she has the ability." In the future, the royal family will marry you, but it will really make a lot of money. ”

Jiang Yuqingle echoed her milk: "I think so too." ”

This time, the two children in the family got married together, and her eldest aunt Lin also came back with two daughters-in-law, younger son and eldest grandson. ”

The eldest brother Jiang Yujiang is still in Fuzhou, but he has been transferred to another county. The second brother also took a rare long vacation this time, accompanied his wife and wife back to attend the wedding of his younger brothers.

His wife Feng Shi and Jiang Yuqing met for the first time.

This second sister-in-law is completely different from the roughness of Feng Zhan, her skin is fair, and her appearance is very dignified and beautiful.

And because he was raised in his grandfather's house in Suzhou since he was a child, he has more of the gentleness and grace of a Jiangnan woman in his bones.

Standing with his own tanned black paint, bear-like second brother, it is completely a live version of Beauty and the Beast.

Her eldest aunt complained that her second brother said that a flower was inserted in cow dung. Her grandmother said that a good peony flower made the cow chew it. There was not a word of kindness at all.

Jiang Yuqing is quite a pair of them.

One tall and one petite, one dark and one white, mighty and rigid and gentle and graceful just complement each other, just like a Taiji diagram, how harmonious.

The second aunt Zhu's made capers and pork foamed rice noodles taste as good as ever. Jiang Yuqing snorted and picked up half of it, and suddenly there was a big cicada chrysalis in the bowl.

The thing was covered in mud, and a few legs were still moving and dying.

Jiang Yuqing was stunned and picked it up with chopsticks, raised his head, and saw two little cubs with mud on their hands, looking at her with a drooling smile: "I know the fragrance, give it to my aunt!" ”

Jiang Yuqing: "...... my good nephew, it's really filial to your aunt."

She felt it was necessary to show these two little cubs what was sinister in the world.

So he put the bowl down, one in each hand, and carried them out of the yard to plan, and they went to the outside of the yard to plan, and they had been planing for a whole afternoon.

It wasn't until the two little cubs were crying and promising never to put anything in the bowl again.

Unfortunately, the half bowl of rice noodles with monkeys was finally discovered by the Zhu family.

Then the two little cubs were beaten by the elders of the family in turn with thin bamboo sticks.

From then on, in these two young hearts, Daddy is the Great Demon King, and Auntie is a more terrifying existence than Daddy, and she must not be provoked.

As the brothers got married one after another, the family became more and more prosperous.

The original three-entry yard was a little insufficient.

Old man Jiang was in charge, and the year before last, he demolished the old house and expanded it twice.

Now the fourth brother and the fifth brother's new house is located on the side of the new courtyard.

Jiang Yuqing went to visit the new house of the two elder brothers, although it is not as exquisite as the Chinese Mansion in Beijing, it is enough to see in Qingzhou.

The tenth day of August.

The sedan chairs of the two brides arrived in Qingzhou County and lived in the Jiang family's mansion in the county.

On the twelfth day, the twins will be married from here and carried back to the house of Xijindu's hometown for a wedding ceremony.

August 11.

The bride goes to the bridegroom's house to shop for the dowry. The twin sisters, each with a dowry of sixty-six lifts, were carried into the Jiang family in Xijindu, which aroused the envy of the villagers.

The last time I saw this pomp was when Jiang Yuhu got married.

As for Jiang Yujiang, the eldest in line, the marriage was held in the Guogong Mansion in the capital, and Jiang Yuhe, who was the second, was married in Fuzhou, they were not able to see it with their own eyes, but they heard that it was extremely lively.

After these two, among the men of the Jiang family's generation, there are only the sixth Jiang Yuming and the seventh Jiang Yuchuan left, and it is estimated that it will be soon.

Jiang Yuming's marriage may be done in his hometown, but Jiang Yuchuan's brothers and sisters will definitely not do it in his hometown.

Especially Jiang Yuqing, who is already a sure royal daughter-in-law and the next mother of the country.

Two days ago, when she put the marriage decree of the crown princess on the altar table, the offering candles lit on the stage directly exploded two sparks, which shows how much the ancestors like it.

August 12 auspicious day. Qingzhou Jiang Guogong Mansion married, the middle door was wide open, and the house was full of friends.

The brothers of the Jiang family, marrying the Shuangshu of the Li family, are even more regarded as beautiful talks.

At the wedding, Jiang Yuqing accompanied the two aunts and sisters-in-law and received the guests who came to congratulate them, meticulously.

The Li family, who came to see her off, were also relieved to see her appear at the wedding, and at the same time felt honored and honored.

The world-famous protector of the county, the crown princess, the future mother of a country. What an honor it was for her to be able to attend her sister's wedding.

In the evening, Jiang Yuqing personally went out to escort the two couples, and drove away a large number of people who intended to make trouble in the corner of the cave room.

Satisfied, he returned to his room, and was about to fall asleep, when the communication jade talisman hanging from his waist protruded.
