All the way to the mountains and rivers, fortunately it was a horse-drawn carriage, twice the speed of the ox cart, and it arrived at Nancang County after two days.

As soon as the special car of the Governor's Mansion arrived in front of the county gate, he was about to leave and go back, but Ye Qing couldn't keep it, and gave thirty taels of silver as a thank you, and the coachman smiled politely.

They know each other well that if they can drive this kind of special car, they must be cronies, and they also serve as spies, and they must report to the governor when they go back.

According to common sense, a session of Xie Yuan does not have to be like this, but everything is afraid of accumulating a lot, no matter how wise it is, as long as it does not exceed the physical body, it will be affected by others, and it is the same if the three of them become tigers in this world.

Waving goodbye to the car, as soon as he entered the city gate, he was stopped by two tolerances, and he smiled happily: "Congratulations Ye Jieyuan, you can give the face of Nancang County, the prefect has a special order, let the villain guard at the city gate, and when I see that you are going to be invited to the mansion, there will be a banquet ready to come up at any time." ”

Ye Qing smiled bitterly, he had to go to the meeting, he had guessed that there would be such a situation, but this time he was returning to his hometown, but he couldn't help but cooperate, this is human nature.

deliberately brought the brother and sister of Zhou Feng and Zhou Ling in, and introduced that it was the state to catch fast - the prefect casually ordered a small table to be used in the side hall.

This delay was one day, and at the banquet, he was half-drunk by a group of officials, big and small, and he still used the wine made by the Ye family.

"I heard that Xie Yuan's mansion has just repelled a group of thieves, and the mansion attaches great importance to this matter, and will definitely urge the implementation of this reward to your mansion......"

"This is the latest bamboo leaf green brew, Xie Yuan has really missed it in the last two months, come on, come on, have a drink......"

The traverser felt that he had dug a pit and trapped himself once, but fortunately he retained a trace of clarity, insisted on staying and staying, and his footsteps floated out of the house.

The brother and sister had been ordered, abandoned the extra luggage, and waited with the remaining carriage, and a small group of ten cavalry, led by an acquaintance - the young captain of the patrol battalion who had set up a guard last time, came up with a smile: "Congratulations to Xie Yuan......"

"Stop your congratulations, I accept it, don't talk nonsense. Ye Qing shook his dizzy head, a little confused: "What are you doing here?"

When it came to the task and responsibility, the fire chief looked serious: "I was sent by the prefect to protect the safety of Duke Xie Yuangong all the way back to his hometown."

"Good. Ye Qing nodded to show understanding, staggered into the ox cart, and waved his hand: "Go immediately"

The fire chief was infected, and subconsciously responded: "Obey"

The team set off, clustered in front of the back, Zhou Feng sat in the driving position in front of the carriage, squinted his eyes, and waved his whip: "Drive-"

The night breeze slowly greeted, and the team galloped out of the city.

In the fluttering curtains, Ye Qing's head rested on Zhou Ling's legs, allowing her to massage her head, shoulders and neck, and after being comfortable for a while, she became conscious, and couldn't help but admire: "This is what your teacher taught, it's really good......

"It's not. Zhou Ling's hand kept moving, looked down at him and said: "This is my family handiwork, I haven't tried it before, and I'm not familiar with it, so it's not good." ”

"Oh, then I'll be your first object?" Ye Qing smiled, knowing that she couldn't lie, so she could only explain it with talent, and felt that it was necessary to encourage: "Then I'll give you a good review."

It took some effort to swallow the word "pro", this is not the earth, and the word "pro" cannot be said casually.

Zhou Ling sighed and did not answer, and the massage movements were smoother, making Ye Qing's eyes squint comfortably.

After a moment, she remembered something, leaned over half of her body, and leaned on the side of Ye Qing's face: "My brother asked me to wait for you to wake up and report one thing, the housekeeper of the prefect's house during the banquet asked us intentionally or unintentionally, and my brother replied that it was on the order of the governor to protect Xie Yuan's return to his hometown." ”

Her voice was very low, and when she was halfway through speaking, Ye Qing opened her eyes, and her divine light was faint.

Sobered up in his heart: "No wonder there is this cavalry protection as soon as it comes out, this can be regarded as borrowing the power of the governor...... Originally, the dignified governor was too far away from the below, but now he has borrowed the power of the prefect...... Very good, when you arrive in Pingshou County, you have to visit the county order, and you can also borrow a layer, so that the layers are enlarged, and when you return home to arrange it, you can settle many things......"

Looking at her thin jade cheeks, she nodded after listening to the report: "You guys are doing a good job, really good." ”

Zhou Ling smiled slightly, got up and stretched out his hand to put it in his arms, and continued to massage, between the white and powerful ten fingers, Su Hexiang was faint.

Ye Qing smelled the fragrant aroma, mixed with the virgin fragrance, a mild cooling feeling penetrated deeply into the scalp, and the body and mind were a little soft.

"Medicated bath?"

When I arrived at the county seat, I really went to see Lu Ming, the county magistrate, and there was another team of van soldiers accompanying him, which was delayed for a while, and at dusk the next day, he rushed to the boundary of Yejiazhuang

At this time, the sky was already dusk, shrouded in a gray sky, and before it passed, I saw more than a dozen watermelon lanterns dotted at the intersection, and more than a dozen people saw Ye Qing, so they "snapped" to form two rows, and knelt down on one knee: "Welcome Young Master Qing back to his home." ”

Ye Qing came down to take a look, and when he saw that it was someone he knew, he couldn't help but smile: "Ye Jie, why are you here, it's okay to do this salute, hurry up." ”

Ye Jie is also a member of the Ye clan, which is a bit far away, but he is the leader of Ye's hometown patrol, but at this time, he saw Ye Jie saluting meticulously: "At this time and that time, please go over now-we are the first batch, and there are two groups of people who go out to greet us."

After a pause, he said: "It's going to rain, we can see it in the morning, but Xie Yuangong is blessed after all, it didn't rain, and he finally came back before the rain."

Ye Qing glanced at the clansmen who greeted him, looked at the sky again, and smiled: "It will be cooler if it rains, but it is true that you can't let everyone get wet."

Ye Jie responded and led the way in front.

In fact, this is ten miles to welcome people, but ten miles is five thousand meters, the brigade of carriages and horses only traveled for a while, and when they arrived at Wuli Road, they saw the second batch, most of which were people with heads and faces in the Ye clan, among them there was Ye Zifan, seeing Ye Zifan, Ye Qing couldn't sit still, and hurriedly took a step forward and saluted: "How dare my nephew greet my uncle, it really broke me"

Ye Zifan glanced at it, and said with a smile: "You are promoted and come back, or Xie Yuan, this is a major event of my Ye clan in the past three hundred years, and it is also acceptable to greet it, which is also the meaning of the patriarch...... There is still a patriarch at the door to greet you, you better hurry over, it's not early. ”

Ye Qing said: "Uncle greets, how dare you take the car again, let alone grandfather greet, grandson can only be regarded as a snack if he walks over." ”

As he spoke, he stepped on the road, and when he saw this, everyone got off their horses and got out of the car to follow.

Before he arrived at the gate, he saw the lights dim, Ye Qing glanced at it from a distance, and saw that the gate was wide open, and the thousands of people on the left and right were all clansmen, and they had children, and from a distance, they saw that the lights of the building inside were bright, and then they saw that the patriarch Ye Mengqiu was in front.

As soon as the team appeared on the road, everyone was stunned, seeing the cavalry leading the horses, the box soldiers holding signs, the left and right mighty, really official.

Ye Mengqiu woke up quickly: "Welcome salute"

Bang Bang –

The red paper clothes were scattered, the gongs and drums were noisy, and it was a festive atmosphere in an instant.

Ye Mengqiu looked back at this time, the walls had been cleaned and repaired, and there were still some red and black traces, and he couldn't help sighing: "After this battle in the family, everyone needs such good news in their hearts, but my Ye Mansion has been in the past three hundred years, and finally Xie Yuan has come out, this is indeed a great honor......

I couldn't help but smile when I thought about it.

Ye Qing approached, and he smiled when he glanced at it - compared to the farewell team when he went, there was a slight change in the crowd this time, obviously Lu Shangjing and Qianqian were standing in the middle, and even Jiang Zinan had restored the original position of the righteous daughter, which meant the right to speak.

"From the county banquet, I heard only a few words of analysis, it should be the remuneration for the contribution of these people, and the more factor is to please me, the new family core. ”

When Ye Qing arrived within 100 meters, he walked a few steps quickly, rushed to Ye Mengqiu in the middle of the crowd, and bowed: "My grandson has gained something from this trip, and he will not disgrace the family." ”

Ye Mengqiu hurriedly stepped forward, holding Ye Qing tightly with both hands, and was happy at this time, with tears in his eyes: "Good grandson, you have glorified your ancestors to the clan......

After the ceremony, he carefully greeted several uncles, whether it was good or bad before, he was polite at this time, and all shadows were invisible.

Looking at it again, even Cao Hufan was there, Ye Qing swept his eyes, and saw Cao Baijing from a distance, only to see her wearing a silk light shirt and a cyan skirt, with a beautiful posture and curling Tingting.

I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and saluted to Cao Hu Fan, Cao Hu Fan hurriedly held on: "Okay, the virtuous nephew is the Qilin son of the Ye family, he has to be lifted in one fell swoop, he is only sixteen years old, and he has not yet been in this dynasty for three hundred years."

At this time, he no longer had the slightest resentment towards Lu Shangjing, this time he rescued the Ye family, but those family members were wonderful to die, and they were wonderful to die, which made the Ye family and Ye Qing inherit a lot of favors

The important people have all seen it, and they will go in together, and it will be Qianqian's turn.

"Childe ......" Qianqian ran the fastest, endured the desire to throw herself into Ye Qing's arms, and tears glistened when she raised her head, which made people heartbreaking.

At this time, the heavy raindrops of beans fell with the night wind, Ye Qing sighed, comforted a few words, nodded to Jiang Zinan who followed closely, and glanced at Lu Shangjing, at this time, it was inconvenient to speak, so he led everyone inside.

The banquet is in the hall, and there are fifty seats on the left and right, which are the seats of people with status in the clan.

As for others, there are seats in the shed outside, and the flowing water seats can seat a thousand people, divided into three batches, and today even the slaves have a seat.

Ye Qing arrived in a crowd and wanted to be the chairman, but Ye Qing immediately insisted: "Grandfather is here, how dare you take the main seat?"

After some resignations, Ye Mengqiu still sat in the main seat, and Ye Qing was in the second seat, which already showed Ye Qing's status.

At this time, the people who were qualified to go to the banquet were already seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and even the fire chief and Zhou Feng who were sent had arranged seats.

Sitting down together, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Mengqiu, waiting for him to speak.

The hall is so quiet that you can hear a falling pin.

Ye Mengqiu looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "My Ye family started with the imperial examination, if it weren't for the fact that among the descendants of the past generations, there were constantly people who gained fame, and our clan would have already declined. ”

Everyone said yes, and this is indeed the truth.

Ye Mengqiu's eyes fell on Ye Qing, and he said happily: "It's just that my Ye clan has never been out of Xie Yuan, and I don't want to get my wish today, but it is really the protection of my ancestors." ”

As he spoke, he personally poured a glass of wine, left the table and walked towards Ye Qing, sighing: "I hope you can go to the next level and make my Ye clan a jinshi"

Ye Qing knelt to receive the wine and drank it all.

Suddenly, the audience applauded, and the sound shook the whole hall for a long time.
