Chapter three hundred and forty-ninth welcome old friends
The golden morning sun shone through the quaint pavilion. Geng Qing looked at the carriage driving in the smoke and dust, and took the guards to fill the wine on the stone table one by one.
Immediately, I walked to the side of the pavilion and watched the three carriages getting closer and closer, and the escorted Shenrui cavalry. Soon the shaft of the car stopped, and as the curtains stroking, figures got out of the car.
Seeing Geng Qing waiting on the road outside the pavilion, the young man who came down first hurriedly trotted up, his cheeks with a thin calluse were looking, and he bowed respectfully.
"The boy pays homage to the father."
Opposite, Geng Qing's faint voice came.
"Wrong, say it again."
On the other side, Geng Nian was stunned for a moment, but he was quick to react. He knelt down on one knee and bowed and said aloud: "Geng Nian, the head of the army, paid homage to King Yong, and he specially responded to King Yong!"
"Um!"
At this time, Geng Qing nodded, grabbed his son's shoulders and helped him up, patted the mud on his robe, "I have a strong body, so, can I brave this time to go south?"
"Kill seven enemies and injured three, never fearing war!"
Hearing Zhongzheng's answer, Geng Qing looked at his son's increasingly resolute face, and there was a smile on his face. He encouraged him, and his eyes passed by Geng Nian, looking at the smiling Jiuyu, raised his hand, and bowed in front of everyone.
"Qing thanks for bringing Nianran back safely."
Jiuyu, who came over there, pushed his hand back, "You and my brothers said this... Besides, Nian'er was also what I saw growing up. If you say thank you, it will hurt your relationship. However, the one who made great contributions this time is not me, but an old acquaintance."
As he said that, the eunuch turned his head and looked behind. Geng Qing blinked in confusion. Following his gaze, he saw a familiar figure walking with Zhao Biao and others next to a carriage behind him.
He still has a strong and tall figure, a simple and simple scholar's robe, but there are many white marks on his temples, but his eyes are like divine light, which is particularly bright in the morning sun.
"Brother Huaimian?!"
When Geng Qing saw the other person, he showed surprise on his face. He hadn't seen him for ten years. Sometimes when he thought of such a person, he probably felt that he might never have hoped to see him again in his life, so he naturally felt indescribable excitement.
The father and daughter who came over, the little girl held her father's hand, curiously looking at the man in the beautiful robe over there showing such an expression. When she raised her little face and looked at her father in confusion, the father, who had always been majestic, looked like this.
Qin Huaimian naturally didn't know what was thinking in his daughter's little head at this moment. Before he let go of his little hand and walked quickly, the two of them stopped almost only two steps, and slowly arched their hands with their lips tightly pursed.
"Ji Chang, don't be fine... Well, your beard has been so long."
"Haha, you have a lot more gray hair."
Many people probably guessed how old friends who hadn't seen each other for a decade would greet each other. Unexpectedly, they would reveal each other's shortcomings as soon as they met, which was ridiculous.
"My father is not old, hum!" The little girl hugged her arms, and her pink little face looked quite angry.
"Shuang'er must not be rude. This is your father's close friend. You must call him uncle." Qin Huaimian patted his daughter's head lightly, smiled lovingly, and introduced to Geng Qing: "Ji Chang, this is my little girl, and her name is Wushuang."
Qin Wushuang...
Geng Qing's mouth twitched. As expected, after traveling to the world for a long time, he was so chivalrous in his name to his daughter. However, this is a private matter and he could not say it on his lips. He praised his name for himself and looked pretty, so he invited Qin Huaimian back to Chang'an.
"After calculating carefully, it must be eleven years since we met. No matter what, you will follow me to the mansion today!"
Ha ha.
Qin Huaimian was also free and easy.
"Since I'm here, I never thought of running away in a hurry." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves with great pleasure and spread his hands forward: "Ji Chang first ask!"
Geng Qing held the wrist with his outstretched hand, and pulled the reluctant little girl with his other hand, and walked to the king's carriage on the side of the road together.
"There is no order, you and I will walk together!"
"Then Qin is not polite."
Two big and small steps on the special carriage, leading the convoy behind them, the cavalry raised their flags and turned around to Chang'an. Along the way, the Shenrui Army cavalry led the way, vendors and pedestrians avoided each other. Looking at the few kings who were traveling, they stood on both sides and bowed, waiting for the team to pass.
After entering the city, the noise of the market aroused the little girl's curiosity. She opened the curtain and kept looking at the street scenes that were heading back. Qin Huaimian also looked at the bustling crowds outside, mixed with many Western Hu merchants. The familiar Huyin came into his ears, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"I haven't been back for a long time. Chang'an, which had experienced several difficulties, did not expect that it is now more prosperous than before. It can be seen that Ji Chang has put in a lot of effort over the years."
"It's all a harsh thing. I can't even make a fortune in Chang'an after you haven't seen these years. It can be seen that those emperors may never have seen what their country looks like in their entire lives."
There was no one else in the car, and Geng Qing was not so regular. He leaned against the wall of the car crookedly and lazily poured wine and handed it to the scholar.
"Actually, I envy you, traveling around the mountains and rivers, walking up the land of Jiuzhou, enjoying different customs and cultures, eating all over the world, and seeing different beauties and scenery in the world."
If you feel it, when you come to the end, Qin Huaimian knew that this old friend had been wrong. He smiled and shook his head, and joked: "You have so many wives in your family who are not busy enough?" Then he talked about the places you have walked in over the years and the style you have experienced.
When Geng Qing asked why his wife didn't come, the scholar also told the story of his deceased wife calmly. The two of them chatted all the way. The little girl beside her pecked her head and lie on the cushion and fell asleep in a daze.
Dachun's voice sounded outside: "I'm here!"
Qin Huaimian opened the curtain and took a look. It was still a familiar street, but the mansion gate was expanded many times, which were brilliant and grand, and had a strong and majestic momentum.
Outside the mansion, Wang Jinqiu, Su Qiaoniang, Bai Yunxiang and a group of women in the backyard lined up in several rows with their children. A bunch of them stood there, which scared the scholars to get out of the car. He looked at Geng Qing with an incredible expression.
"So many born?"
"It's okay tonight." Geng Qing spread his hands, got out of the carriage, pulled Geng Nian from the carriage behind, and pushed it to his mother, Qiaoniang and Bai Yunxiang, "Take it, beating and scolding Haosheng. After the beating, go and wash it, then quickly go to the room to read a book, and only after it gets dark allowed to come out for meals!"
He actually said this to Geng Nian, and he arranged the matter directly to avoid being conspired by Qiaoniang and Bai Yunxiang.
Bai Yunxiang looked at Geng Nian with a dark face, but after all, she was mother and son. She felt distressed. After cursing for a few words, she couldn't help crying, which made Geng Nian feel so furious that she didn't know what to do. After a while, the old lady suddenly rang a crutch and drove the girls back home. The old woman recognized the strong scholar beside her son, and went over to talk, and Qin Huaimian quickly took her daughter to greet her.
"You scholar, you have been away for so long. Now that you come back to Chang'an, don't run around. Look, you have all girls. You can settle down in the future. After a few years, you will tell her about marriage."
The scholar stood there awkwardly.
"Yes... what the old lady said is..."
"Mom, you go back to the mansion first." Geng Qing winked at Qiao's mother, but she was still a crutch from her mother. The old lady stared at her fiercely: "Don't think that my mother is confused when she is old. What are the winks? Be careful, go to your father's spiritual position to sue you and ask him to talk to you tonight."
"Mom, let's go in."
Qiao Niang looked at her husband's defeat, sniffed the corner of her lips, and held back the smile and helped the old woman to go back slowly. After a while, Geng Qing then corrected her expression, "Brother Huaimian, now you can see that although I am King Yong, how can I have a status at home?"
