Chapter 321 Back to Chang'an
"Have you heard that? King Yong is going back to Chang'an."
"Who is King Yong?"
In October, the streets are noisy and the restaurants are also noisy. I suddenly heard the news that King Yong returned to Chang'an. Many people were still confused. The gentry, famous scholars, literati and elegant guests invited friends to gather in the restaurant, exchanging the messages that spread today.
"The news that came out of the government office today is not clear about who he is."
The person who was asked was shaking the paper fan and frowned. In the last cicadas in autumn, someone at the next table also talked about this. Seeing that no one around knew about it, he couldn't help but smile and amplify the sound.
"......My cousin's second brother, his wife's neighbor, was working in the yamen. When the news came out today, I learned from him that King Yong, oh, but he has a great background. Have you heard of Geng Qing?"
Someone knew about it, so he nodded and continued: "I know, but the Geng Mansion in Guangdefang? If so, it is indeed famous. I heard that it was still a student of Yu Cong, the son-in-law of the previous dynasty, but now he has become the King of Yong of Liang. It is really unpredictable."
There were also dissatisfied voices in the remaining seats on the second floor:
"Look at your tone of sorrow, why can't the people from the previous dynasty be officials of the current dynasty?"
"Hey, this person has also attacked Chang'an and been an official in the pseudo-King Qi State. Why don't you say that?"
“……Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to live in.”
There was arguing in the city, outside the restaurant, and the streets near the government office, in the afternoon, the crowds of people gradually divided the streets, and the streets of the staff crossed the water, fire sticks, and carriages drove past people. Geng Dachun, who was inquiring about the news, held a chicken leg in his mouth, and his excited navel was exposed. He took a few people back to Guangdefang to inform King Yong of his itinerary.
The sky light slanted across the floating white clouds.
After a team that had been marching for half a month passed Tongguan, the cavalry moving forward sent fast cavalry to Chang'an from time to time to inform the government office of the government. After all, the team was a king's carriage and there was a majesty.
At this time, the convoy and the horse team had entered Ba Bridge. Geng Qing woke up from the shaking of the carriage in a daze. He was quiet around him. After passing Tongguan, the three girls had been driven to the carriage behind him. The jealous woman really couldn't afford to offend her. She was kind to one person, and the other came over, and the other came at the same time.
Before passing Tongguan, almost every night, Wang, Liu and Zhang showed their own abilities and served in different ways. Tang Feng was open, and even Geng Qing had completely experienced what he had never seen in later generations.
"If I hadn't practiced some physical fitness skills with Jiuyu in Luoyang, I'd probably not be able to get through Tongguan."
"Sure enough, there are only exhausted cows, and there are no broken land. I also went back and forth to plow three acres of land one night, and I couldn't stand it or I couldn't stand it."
In fact, the main thing is that the road is really boring. There are thousands of cavalrymen walking with them in the convoy, and they are also the king's carriage. No one dares to block the road or cause some trouble to relieve their boredom.
Apart from taking out the carriage and talking to Jiuyu, Li Siyuan, and Yang Huaixiong, he could only stay with the three girls. When the firewood meets the fire, it will burn when it is flirted, and it will be out of control. What a stack of arhats, three holes surround the dragon, and three tongues compete for fragrance... I played all the things I should play with. After a few days, Geng Qing walked a little lightly, his eyes slightly blue.
It took only two days to get to Baqiao to get better and regain a lot of vitality.
"There are more than 20 women in the family... I've been drought for nearly two years... I can't imagine what a scene it would be at night after I went back."
Geng Qing didn't want to put on a green hat early, so he asked Jiuyu to help him to nearby villages and towns, and the small county to find some nourishing medicines to recover quickly.
‘No wonder the emperor has few long-lived people...how can he stand it?’
As the car body was shaking, Geng Qing thought, while following the luck method taught by Jiuyu before, he passed by for a long time, and the carriage gradually stopped.
Soon, Shi Jingtang's voice sounded outside.
"King Yong, we are in front of Baqiao, and there are many Chang'an officials."
While speaking, Yang Huaixiong and Xia Luqi also rode over, holding long troops waiting in front of each other. Geng Qing lifted the curtain and shook his legs slowly. When he saw Li Cunxiao approaching, he quickly stabilized his lower body, nodded seriously, and then looked forward with his hands behind his back.
The flags were flying, and the stone bridge was turbulent in front of the Ba River. Officials of all sizes of Chang'an stood in square arrays in official robes.
When slaughtering right and wrong, Wang Feiying was also in the crowd. Looking at the Wang Yan pulling the five horses, he sighed a little. As the leading governor bowed down, the two of them shouted: "Greetings to King Yong!" and bowed down.
The sound came like a tsunami.
Geng Qing asked the chariot to get closer. He stood on the chariot, nodded to everyone, and raised his sleeves.
"Everyone get up. I have been grateful for your wish to greet you. I will not go to the government office for a banquet. I have been traveling for several days and feel tired. Go back to the mansion to meet my family first. I will come to the mansion to pay my respects tomorrow."
The words were simple and clear, without any politeness, the officials of Chang'an thanked each other again, then retreated to both sides, bowed and waited for the king to cross the bridge first, and then they returned to the city with the back of the convoy.
Zhuque Street has been cleaned. The people who learned that King Yong had entered the city had been on the street early, or nearby restaurants and teahouses, staring at the huge royal chariot with cavalry guarding over, filling the spacious street with a full view.
Among the crowd excitedly watching the fun, some older people pointed and talked about Geng Qing's past with a proud look.
"I knew this guy for a long time. I dared to pull a group of border troops in Longyou to attack Chang'an, and I could not violate the people at all. At that time, I knew that he was absolutely extraordinary."
"It's a pity that it's no longer the Tang Dynasty... Otherwise, there would be some names added to the Lingyan Pavilion in the future."
In a rather regretful tone, the king had slowly passed. In front of the former imperial city gate, the cavalry turned to the gate of the Mingchun and returned to the military camp outside the city. The officials in the city returned to the government office.
Dachun and others who were waiting on the road leading to Guangdefang saw the convoy coming here and smashed the firecrackers in their hands. While leading the way, they kept waving to Li Cunxiao and Yang Huaixiong who were riding in front of them.
The servant who reported the news had rushed to the door of the mansion as if the fire was on. The group of women and children who were waiting in the house immediately tidied up their dresses, jewelry, and their faces were covered with rouge. Their eyes were filled with spring, and the old lady rushed to the gate to wait.
Soon, the sound of firecrackers came over. When the team turned around and the crowded women at the door were excitedly stepping under their skirts. As the eldest wife of the family, Qiao Niang was also forcibly calming down at this moment. She held Bai Yunxiang next to her with one hand, and both women's hands were tightly held together.
"father!"
Geng Nian, who came out of Yingying, was brave enough to run to the middle of the road and shouted crisply at the approaching convoy.
The king stopped.
Geng Qing lifted the curtain and walked out. When he saw the little man on the road waving at him with a smile, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and went over to pick him up.
"It's much heavier and it's also taller!"
When Geng Qing held his head to his son, Wang Jinqiu at the door led Feng Mei and shouted slowly: "Zhuzi." On this side, Geng Qing looked at the old woman with white hair, slowly put Geng Nian on the ground and walked to the stone steps.
In nearly two years, my mother's appearance has changed.
"mother!"
Geng Qing shouted with a loud voice and knelt down in front of countless people's eyes.
