Chapter 97: Relatives and Friends Arrive
A month after Qiantai arrived in Jixian County, Qiantai's mother arrived.
The march was in the evening from the official road to Jixian Town, Qiantai personally went out of the city to arrange people, and welcomed his mother into the Hou Mansion. That night, Hou Fuzhong held a reception dinner.
In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, the relatives in the hesitant army were very tired, so the dinner arranged by Qiantai was just a small family banquet in the Hou Mansion, and there were not too many extravagant rules.
At the banquet, only subordinates Liu Boxi, Qin Tieshu, and Lu Juan were recruited to accompany them.
In the backyard, the maid invited the old woman Yanyue Jieyu who had just lived, and around the small family banquet eight treasure table, all the people stood up to welcome the old woman to take a seat.
Under the traction of the maid, Yanyue Xiunu was wearing a silk palace robe, wearing a phoenix hairpin, a middle-aged height, and a green silk bun tied behind her back. This year has passed the halfway point, but the face is still white and wrinkled, and he looks at the child Qiantai with a happy smile, which is very graceful and loving.
For Qiantai, this is perhaps the most beautiful woman in his world.
At the round table, Qiantai walked to his mother's side first, and the filial piety of his thoughts poured out from the heart, and he muttered to his mother: "Mother, the child is not filial and you are worried." Please also take a seat. So saying, he took his mother's hand and sat down at the top
Yanyue Jieyu's teary eyes trembled: "My son." He followed Qiantai and sat down, but his eyes were carefully looking at Qiantai. The expression and voice made everyone present feel sad to hear, and the maids around couldn't help wiping their tears, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world.
Walking to the upper seat, Qianming on the side also stood up and looked at the two excitedly, and said to Qiantai: "Brother Huang!"
On the seat, in addition to Yanyue Jieyu, there are also twenty princes Qianming, sitting on the right side of Yanyue Jieyu. It happened to be double open on the left and right, the mother was seated in the middle, Qiantai and Qianming were seated on the left and right, and Liu Boxi, Lu Juan, and Qin Tieshu sat at the bottom.
These people were the only ones at the small banquet, and the temple celebrations and military soldiers who came to escort them were not forgotten. These people were arranged by Qiantai to rest first, and then feast and thank you tomorrow.
At the family banquet, Qiantai introduced Liu Boxi and the others, and everyone talked about some gossip in the dining room, and Qiantai also talked a little about the good situation of Jixian County with his mother.
After the banquet, the subordinates took the initiative to retire, and Qianming was also instructed to talk in detail tomorrow. Qiantai sent the old woman to her lodging and her mother to sleep.
The feast was withdrawn, and the maids quickly cleaned up the backyard. Some of these maids were recruited from the county and some were gifted by Montenegro. There are also Jin Dingli who pretended to be guards, and officials who came in and out, and these people let the Hou Mansion come to the Hou Mansion in January and slowly get on the right track.
At the residence, her mother Yanyue pulled Qiantai all the way to keep talking, talking about what she had seen and heard along the way, and constantly instructed Qiantai to be careful in Jixian County and not to be careless.
Followed by a few maids, respectfully followed Qiantai and Yanyue to the residence.
When Yanyue Xiunu and the other maids opened the door and entered, Fang regretted and said to Qiantai: "Wu'er, I'm sorry for you, I lost that girl and was picked up by her family, and I don't know if you will have the opportunity to marry her in the future." ”
"Mother, I've heard about it. The fact that Changsun Wujian was able to be picked up by General Changsun Sheng shows that her family has not forgotten her. As early as the beginning, I said that I had promised her to send her home, and now that there is this result, everyone is happy. ”
He also said: "As for marrying him as a wife?" Qiantai said: "And today is a big chaos, and the great cause of the child has not been accomplished, how can he marry." ”
"Alas, okay, since you don't have the heart to marry someone else, it's good to let that girl go back as soon as possible, and we can't mistake someone. Yanyue Jieyu heard Qiantai say this, so she had to nod helplessly, and walked into the house lonely. Yanyue Jieyu obviously felt a little sad and helpless for Qiantai to shirk his reluctance to marry a wife. can know that Qiantai has been assertive since he was a child, and he can't persuade him.
Qiantai wanted to follow into the house, but Yanyue Jieyu turned around and cared for Qiantai and said, "Wu'er should go back and rest as soon as possible, you are busy enough today." I'm tired of my mother, so I have to rest early. ”
Hearing this, Qiantai couldn't stop going in, and after a pause, Fang Xiaoxiao bowed to his mother again, and said, "Then mother rest as soon as possible." ”
Qiantai left the door, and the maid also sent Qiantai away as a blessing and closed the door.
However, just as Qiantai walked away from the house, he heard Yanyue Jieyu's voice from inside the house: "Wu'er, if you have the opportunity, you can inquire more about the news of the innocent girl, and see if she is doing well when she goes home. Poor girl. ”
"Yes, Mother. I'll send someone to the eldest grandson's house to inquire. Qiantai turned around and said, "Mother rest earlier." ”
The eldest grandson is innocent, is the daughter of Sun Sheng, the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson who was rescued in Xia Ye when Qiantai was seven years old. Since she was a child, she was smart and cute, and she followed Yanyue Jieyu's side, and her appearance and temperament were all kinds of good and beautiful, and she was born to be a world-famous beauty who was not inferior to Yinling, Yuyao, and Qiong Yao.
Originally, Yanyue Jieyu has been raising her eldest grandson Wuji, but later as Qiantai and Wujian grew up, Yanyue had the heart to let Qiantai marry the girl Wujian as the imperial concubine.
But for the eldest grandson Wujian and Qiantai themselves, there is no friendship between men and women.
Qiantai is a god of eternity, where does he have the heart to pursue the love of men and women, maybe Qiantai's heart of red dust has been refined by a deep cultivation as early as in his previous life.
As for the eldest grandson Wuji, due to the difference in the identity of the two in the palace before, he has always regarded Qiantai as the prince, and in some other feelings, he is familiar with the family relationship that he has seen for a long time.
People have a fate but no love for red dust, and the eldest grandson was picked up by the eldest grandson in Julu County.
Changsun Sheng is a brave cavalry guerrilla general in the north, and a general sent by the imperial court to garrison Daijun, the land of demons, in the north of Youzhou. As long as Qiantai can occupy Youzhou, maybe the two will meet again one day in the future.
Qiantai left, returned to his residence, and was alone in the study thinking about the affairs of the eldest grandson Wuji.
After a while, just as Qiantai began to meditate and cultivate, absorbing the power of faith and the people's luck that were gathered around his void and invisible to ordinary people, someone from outside suddenly came to report.
The guard bowed to Qiantai through the door, saying, "Miss Gongsun of Montenegro heard that the old woman had arrived, so she went down the mountain and came to the house to visit the old man. ”
When Qiantai heard this, he thought that it was not early at this time, and he didn't want this woman to disturb her mother anymore. But Qiantai saw the lonely figure of his mother when he entered the door again, and the longing for his eldest grandson, maybe let this woman who can guess her mind go to talk to her mother, so that her mother can relieve her sadness and loneliness.
Qiantai nodded in agreement, and allowed the guards to directly allow her to visit the old woman when they met Miss Changsun in the future.
Qiantai's order was also out of trust in the pure heart of the eldest grandson, Wufang. There is also a clear understanding in my heart that according to my mother's kind and soft character, I will not be disgusted with this girl arranged by myself.
Moreover, in Qiantai's heart, let this woman slowly understand that her character is not so perfect through her mother, and she is not interested in her children's private affairs, maybe this woman will slowly give up her entanglement, and by the way, she will get rid of this little red dust peach blossom catastrophe that she has not seen in her eyes. The most important thing is that maybe I can't help myself temporarily relieve the loneliness of the elderly.
Early in the morning, Qiantai was planning to deal with the temple blessings and military soldiers who came with him, and these people needed Qiantai to personally bring people to express condolences and thanks, and to take advantage of this to arrange for these people to serve in the county. The twenty princes got up early in the morning at Qiantai's residence and met Qiantai.
In Qiantai's study, Qiantai stood in the room with a smile and watched Qianming walk in.
Ming entered the room and saw Qiantai standing, hurriedly walked to the desk, and said, "Qianming, I have seen the Nineteenth Emperor Brother." ”
"Twenty brother, it's okay to rest last night, why do you get up so early, you have to take care of your body, we brothers still have to work hard in this northland. Qiantai walked out of the desk and helped Qianming with both hands.
"I had a good rest last night, thank you for your concern. Qianming said again.
Qiantai was a little helpless in the face of the strict Qianming, shook his head and instructed: "My own brother, here is my brother, don't be so polite, let my brother see it, what difference does it make if my brother doesn't see him for many days." ”
"Yes, Imperial Brother. Hearing this, Qian Ming stood up straight, and his thick and rigorous expression was very funny.
But I saw that Qianming looked similar to Qiantai's handsome face, but his body was stronger. Due to the perennial practice of boxing, the chest is wider, the arms are thick and stretched out above the waist, and the hands are even thicker and more powerful. He was a very handsome aristocratic young man.
At this time, Qianming's self-discipline and restrained attitude made people laugh, but who knew that the twenty princes were also very smart since childhood.
Qian Ming did this, that is well aware of the difference in identity, and he was born in the palace and has his own attitude towards this detail.
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen you for many days, I wanted my brothers to be close and close, but I can't take you. Qiantai pointed at the old brother in front of him and said with a smile.
After speaking, Qiantai smiled and looked at what Qianming was doing.
Qian Ming took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Qiantai. Said: "Brother Huang, this is the letter that the Eighteenth Emperor Sister asked me to give you, which is full of the events that have happened in the capital in the past few months since we left the capital, including the affairs of my father, the Nine Emperor Brothers, and so on. Imperial brother, please take a closer look. ”
Qiantai knotted the envelope, and wrote the handwriting of 'Nineteenth and Twenty Brothers' Yuyao. The envelope has been opened, it should be that Qianming has already seen it.
On the letter, Yu Yao told the secrets of the capital in detail, including that after the death of her father, the queen and the eunuch Cao Jingxing joined forces to promote the Nine Emperor Brothers as the new emperor. The officials of the new dynasty in the capital were replaced, and most of the government was controlled by the Cao family headed by Yuan, Lu, Mo and other families. There is also the new queen is the Qiong Yao holy daughter of Taiyizong, and most of the royal family has now moved south to Yizhou, and the nine emperor brothers are often sick and cannot go to the early dynasty, in short, the situation in the court should be very weak, and the court is uneven.
Besides, it is said that the old Shangshu Li Tongzhi is now at home and repairing books behind closed doors. Concubine Xiang and Liu Jieyu in the palace have now moved out of the palace and live in Princess Yuyao's mansion, so the two of them don't have to worry.
But Qiantai and Qianming are not ideal in their hearts. Yu Yao is alone in Shangjing City, and Qiantai and Qianming in the north will have to rely on themselves to fight independently in the future.
Then Qiantai discussed things with Qianming, and Qiantai also told Qianming some things about his life in Jixian County.
In the later words, Qiantai had the intention to send Lu Ju to Shi Lang of Zhuo County to supervise the cultivation of the land and represent Houfu. Borrowing the land to try to gradually take over Zhuo County.
The arrival of Qianming this time also brought some scholars from the 'Tongwen Pavilion' in the capital and the disciples of Qiantai in the Jingzhao Mansion before, with these people, Qiantai can assign these people to various places to supervise the implementation of land excavation. And Lu Juan was originally born in the 'Tongwen Pavilion', and his talent and prestige are also very suitable.
And Lu Juan led the scholars to the county government to take over government affairs, and even the official Qiantai thought about becoming a farmer. Now, most of the land that can continue to be cultivated in Zhuo County has been searched, and if this batch of land can be excavated, this is a major policy, and it is a matter that is beneficial to Qiantai both in public and private.
The two of them said something in the study about the things they had come all the way to, and then Qianming went back to prepare.
After talking about Qianming, Qiantai saw those temple blessings and military pawns who came with him, because the city god is now the guest master of Qiantai of the Hou Mansion, so these temple blessings and military pawns are still obeying Qiantai's orders. On the shrine of faith, the scriptures secretly handed down in the Chenghuang Temple also introduce the mysterious relationship between Qiantai and Yama, which makes Jixian Hou Qiantai also wear a kind of divine mansion color among these believers.
During this period, Qianming asked Qiantai what he would do with these more than 1,000 people in Chenghuang. He asked: "Brother Huang, there are 1,000 soldiers and hundreds of temple blessings who escorted me this time, these people have worked hard all the way, but they are people from the City God, how should Brother Huang arrange these people?"
Qiantai said: "These people are kind-hearted, but as you said, their origins are not appropriate, and they are indeed not directly dispatched by us. It is a blessing for a few people to be here, but it is easy for thousands of people to be indistinguishable. He also said: "I will borrow the name of Chenghuang and let all the soldiers go to Zhuo County, and those temples will be used in the county." ”
Two days later, Lu Juan, who had put down the matter, followed Qiantai's arrangement and took the clerks and a group of scholars from Jixian County to Zhuo County by boat. Now the fortifications to which the land is going are imminent, so Qianming and the others are also going to Zhuojun Mansion City very quickly.
And there are also a thousand soldiers of the City God Temple, who are used to support Lu Juan and others to rely on Zhuo County.
