Chapter 209: A Grand Event
During the conversation, Jiang Xinming felt that it was too troublesome to talk through the window, so she took the pretty little maid called Ling'er and sat on Huang Qi's carriage.
There were only four of them left in the carriage.
Huang Qi introduced Huang Zhen to Jiang Xinming, and the two politely greeted each other, and then looked away.
Huang Zhen was obviously more interested in that Ling'er, those extraordinarily smart big eyes looked different in his eyes, and Ling'er also looked at his bare head curiously.
"Brother Huang, your carriage is really stable, if my carriage is half as good as yours, you don't have to waste so much time on the road. ”
Jiang Xinming looked at the scenery flowing rapidly outside the car window and exclaimed in a low voice.
It turned out that the reason why they walked so slowly on the road before was because she and Ling'er were weak in physique, and they couldn't stand the violent bumps, so they could only move slowly.
The book of the Array Dao Sutra in Huang Qi's hand had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a Confucian classic, and he smiled: "If you like it, I have the design of this car here, and you can find someone to build one." ”
"Brother Huang is so good. Jiang Xinming withdrew her gaze from the outside, showed a smile, and said coquettishly: "If Ling'er hadn't told me that there was a carriage pulled by a big ox outside that was running fast and looking particularly fun, I might have missed Brother Huang." ”
She was curious about the big scalper who pulled the carriage faster than the horse, so she leaned out to look, but immediately recognized this Huang Qi's exclusive carriage.
Although Jiang Xinming is developing very well, she is only fourteen years old after all, so her words are mostly childlike.
While the two were chatting casually, there were more pedestrians and vehicles on the official road, but they had already arrived in Lianshan City.
I saw that at the city gate in front, there were two teams of elite soldiers standing to maintain order, and pedestrians and merchants lined up in a long line to extend into the distance, and they had to go through the strict interrogation of several Ming arresters when entering and leaving the city.
Looking at the long and distant queue in front of her, Jiang Xinming frowned and said, "It's been checked for so many days, why haven't we finished checking yet, how long do we have to wait before we can enter the city." ”
These Ming Catchers are ruthless, and with her Jiang family's status in Lianshan City, she can't get special treatment at all, so she still has to honestly line up to enter the city and accept interrogation.
At this time, she saw the carriage under the seat directly past the long line and walked towards the city gate, she was shocked, and just wanted to remind Huang Qi, but saw that after the few Ming Catchers saw the carriage from afar, they directly evacuated the crowd at the city gate, making way for a wide road for them to drive in.
"Well... It's amazing. Jiang Xinming couldn't help but open her mouth slightly after seeing this scene, looking at Huang Qi next to her with an indifferent face.
When she left Lianshan City a few days ago, she saw with her own eyes that two innate martial artists from Qingyang Palace wanted special treatment by relying on their sect and strength, but they were directly beaten to the ground by the people of the Six Gates on the charge of obstructing official business and tied up in the dungeon.
The two innate martial artists from the Immortal Sect are already great names in Jiang Xinming's eyes, even if they are their eldest brothers, they have to greet each other with a smile, but now it seems that they can't even compare to a coachman who drives for Huang Qi.
Jiang Xinming looked at Huang Qi's eyes, which flashed with a glimmer of crystal.
Originally, Huang Qi's plan was to enter Lianshan City to replenish supplies a little, and then go on the road again after lunch, but now he couldn't accept Jiang Xinming's strong invitation, so he drove directly to Jiangfu.
The two knife-wielding guards stained Huang Qi's light, and they didn't need to line up outside the city, so they entered the city early, but at this moment, they had already rushed back to Jiangfu and brought back the news of Huang Qi's door.
When he arrived at Jiangfu, as soon as Huang Qi got out of the carriage, he saw a heroic young man walking out of the gate, and he hugged his fists and said with a smile from a distance: "Rare guests come to the door, rare guests come to the door." ”
Huang Qi returned the salute with a smile: "I've seen Brother Jiang, I haven't seen him for two years, and Brother Jiang's demeanor is better than in the past." ”
This heroic young man is the "Surabaya Sword" Jiang Liuchuan, but since Huang Qi met him, he has only met him a few times in the first two years, and there is basically no intersection after that, only occasionally contact him by letter to maintain the "friendship" between them.
Jiang Liuchuan was about to be polite again, but he saw Huang Zhen who was coming out of the carriage, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Presumably this is the little boy, right? ”
Huang Zhen grabbed his bald head and looked at his eldest brother Huang Qi blankly, with an inquiring look in his eyes, is this really me?
He was disgusted that he couldn't stand being bald and ugly, so he took revenge in the Daxiong Treasure Hall in a fit of anger......
Huang Qi looked at Huang Zhen and smiled silently, it was obvious that Jiang Liuchuan had learned from the guards what he had seen at the gate of the city, so he was so deliberately flattering.
The Surabaya Sword is young and can have such a great reputation in the Yunzhou martial arts, and he can't do it with a broken sword in his hand.
"Big brother. Jiang Xinming walked out of the carriage and said coquettishly: "Brother Huang has come from afar, are you going to let him stand outside the door and blow the wind? ”
Seeing that his sister said this, Jiang Liuchuan pushed the boat along the river and said no, and several people walked into the gate of Jiangfu with a smile.
On this river and lake, fame and profit are often linked to each other, so the Jiang Mansion is far more luxurious and luxurious than ordinary rich and noble families, Huang Qi's eyes swept around the mansion, and he knew that Jiang Liuchuan had developed the Jiang family very well in the past two years.
Because Huang Qi and the others came in a hurry, the luncheon had just begun to be prepared, Jiang Liuchuan asked the servant to take Huang Zhen to wander around, he and Huang Qi sat in the courtyard and chatted, and Jiang Xinming did the maid's job, adding tea and pouring water for the two of them.
"Leaving in the afternoon?" Jiang Liuchuan looked at Huang Qi in surprise.
He also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to build a good relationship with Huang Qi, but he didn't expect Huang Qi to be in such a hurry.
Huang Qi nodded slightly and said: "Well, I have been staying in Yunzhou for a long time, and I really don't worry about my father, since the matter is over, it is better to go back early." ”
"It's really a piece of filial piety. Jiang Liuchuan praised, and then something suddenly came to mind in his mind, and he changed his words: "But if you leave today, you will miss a grand event in Lianshan City in two days." ”
Seeing that he had something to say, Huang Qi couldn't help but be interested, raised his eyebrows and said, "Please also ask Brother Jiang to explain." ”
Seeing that he had successfully aroused Huang Qi's interest, Jiang Liuchuan couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and said to Jiang Xinming next to him: "Xinming, you go and see how the luncheon is prepared." ”
Jiang Xinming obediently said goodbye to Huang Qi and left the courtyard, leaving only Huang Qi and Jiang Liuchuan.
Seeing that Jiang Liuchuan was even going to break up his sister, Huang Qi suddenly became more interested.
