Chapter 253 Welcome the craze, adoptive father

Huang Laifu was very famous in Wuzhai Fort. After the news of his promotion to governor was returned, no one was proud of the whole castle, and everyone had a light on their faces.

Their original small place was originally just a poor place where birds could not shit. Now they first walked out of the general Huang Laifu, and now they walked out of the big figure in the governor of the two towns. These are all the Feng Shui of Wuzhai Fort.

For a time, there were many people in the Wuzhai Fort, especially in the Huang Mansion. Gu Yunniang, who was the first-class lady of the imperial decree, was naturally busy attracting Luo. Everyone was thinking about how to greet Huang Laifu after he came back.

Yesterday, after the news that Huang Laifu was about to return to the fort, the entire Wuzhai Fort City was in full swing. Everyone was beating drums and drums and preparing to greet the castle city. Even the farms along the way were decorated with lights and ready to welcome them.

After Huang Laifu's carriage and horse ceremonial war entered Wuzhai Fort, especially after crossing the Qinglian River, the news spread like the wind: "Governor Huang is back with victory!"

For a moment, the sides of the official road were filled with more and more welcome people, and the sound of firecrackers also exploded everywhere.

The closer the castle city, the more crowded the road was, the more crowded it was. The people held incense, candles, or pigs, sheep, wine and rice, and welcomed each other on both sides of the road. A sound was heard: "Congratulations to the elders for returning in triumphant!"

"Congratulations to you, sir!"

The military-civilian relationship in Wuzhaibao was extremely harmonious. Seeing the staff who came to Wuzhaibao for the first time was surprised and placed elsewhere. Every time the army came, the people were afraid of avoiding it. How could they be like Wuzhaibao?

In this case, all the soldiers who went out to the war were full of energy. Their waists were straight and their faces were full of pride, and they just rode their horses past the crowd.

Huang Laifu rode on the horse, smiling, and he bowed from time to time: "Thank you for your love for your fellow villagers!"

“…thank you, thank you!”

At the west gate of Wuzhaibao City, it was even more uninterrupted. The welcome crowds of people and drums filled the surroundings of the city gate. The policemen who had just recently established Wuzhaibao City struggled to maintain order next to the street.

When Huang Laifu appeared in front of everyone's eyes, drums and music were immediately sounded, and the deafening sound of firecrackers exploded.

The welcome crowds were mainly guarding Su Dong'an from Wuzhai Fort. In addition, there were also a group of local old officers from Wuzhai Fort and some representatives of local hometown elders. As for Huang Laifu's family, they had already been dressed up in front of the Governor's Mansion.

Because their descendants followed Huang Laifu in the past few years, their families were also given gifts after their contributions, so many old officers had various gifts and honors.

For example, Jiang Yongsheng, the father of Jiang Dazhong, has been promoted to the second-rank deputy general because Jiang Dazhong followed Huang Laifu to fight and made contributions. According to the Daming merit system, both second-rank and third-rank generals can be awarded the title of second-rank generals.

So now Jiang Yongsheng, the father of Jiang Dazhong, is also enjoying the honor of the second-rank, and that is, Jiang Dazhong's grandmother, mother, and wife, are also awarded the title of wife.

These people followed Huang Laifu, enjoying the benefits brought by Huang Laifu every time he was promoted, and also combining their own interests with the Huang family more and more closely.

Among the welcome crowd were Huang Laifu's eldest brother-in-law Xu Xueshi, second brother-in-law Li Yingchun, Gu Yunniang's eldest brother Gu Shiyin and others. They all came this time under the name of paying homage to the new governor.

Huang Laifu's every rise in his life also has the taste of a sensation of a chicken or a dog ascending to these relatives.

Seeing Huang Laifu reaching the city gate, everyone hurriedly came up and bowed in unison: "Welcome to the Governor to return with honor!"

At the same time, those bands played harder.

When he returned to his hometown, Huang Laifu was also in a happy mood. He rode on his horse and looked around, feeling a little moved. After a while, he smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll welcome you!"

He exchanged a few greetings with everyone, then led his troops into the fort, and everyone hurriedly followed him.

It was a public place at this time, and even Huang Laifu's brother-in-law, Gu Yunniang's elder brother Gu Shiyin and others were not allowed to give pretentious private gifts. Their grades were far inferior to some old officers in Wuzhai Fort, and many of them were far behind the crowds that were greeted.

Gu Shiyin finally seized an opportunity and talked to his son Gu Dadao. Seeing that his son was much more heroic, Gu Shiyin was both happy and annoyed. The news of his son's meritorious service had been spread to Kelanzhou. In addition to being promoted to outdoors due to his merits, he also added the title of 1,000 yuan.

Gu Dadao is now considered a fifth-rank title, and he was rewarded for his merits. His mother and wife can be awarded as pleasant, which is considered to be a gift for his Gu family. Moreover, he will follow his uncle Huang Laifu in the future, and his future will be limitless, and a bright future is right in front of him.

It was satisfying to have a son. What annoyed him was that this kid was 25 years old this year and was still not impatient or slow about his lifelong affairs. How could this be done? There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and it is better to have no descendants.

Gu Shiyin had already decided that this time his son came back, and he had to do the marriage for him first. He could not delay his son's lifelong affairs.

...

The flag plaque was opened by the way, and Huang Laifu led his iron-armored army into the fort city. The flags were as dark as dark clouds. Thousands of war horses were marching neatly on the streets of Wuzhai Fort, and countless iron hooves hit the solid concrete streets, with neat roar.

The streets were filled with crowds of people who were welcomed by the road. The sound of firecrackers was deafening along the way. Compared to outside the fort, the crowds in the streets in the city were naturally more dense, with a lot of people.

Amid the cheers, all the soldiers who set out to fight were raised their heads and chests. Most of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition were locals from Wuzhaibao, veritable soldiers of Wuzhaibao. Now they returned home in glory and returned with honor, both themselves and their families were full of pride.

Compared to a few years ago, Wuzhai Fort was much more prosperous, and there were many more merchants and people from other places on the streets. Seeing the soldiers in the Eastern Expedition so powerful and the local military-civilian relations were so harmonious, they were all filled with emotion.

After the news of Huang Laifu as governor came, the original general's mansion was greatly expanded and replaced with the plaque of the governor's mansion. At the same time, the improvement of the Wuzhaibao official office was also underway day and night. The day before Huang Laifu returned, the Wuzhaibao Governor's yamen had been announced to be completed.

After construction, the Governor's Office showed even more majestic and grandeur, with a dark horse-mounted stone in front of the door.

At this time, in front of the gate, Gu Yunniang led a group of family members in the mansion, and had already been in full dress. Gu Yunniang was wearing a first-class imperial uniform and a phoenix crown and a red robe, full of luxurious temperament, and her pretty eyes just looked at the street from time to time.

In short, Gu Yunniang is twenty-six years old this year and has a much calmer temperament. Behind her are Huang Laifu and a child in the concubine's room, and in addition, they are all members of the Huang family.

Among Huang Laifu's people are some sisters, some nephews, nieces, etc. Among Gu Yunniang's people are some brothers, sisters-in-law and others from the Gu family. There are also some people from Huang Laifu's concubine family, such as Qu Liangwan and others.

Everyone stood behind Gu Yunniang, smiling and talking in a low voice.

Even around the Huang Mansion, there were crowds of people watching. Everyone pointed and whispered.

In addition, Huang Laifu's adoptive father, Liu Jingchun, commander of Xiwei, the former town of Gu Lanzhou, also stood beside Gu Yunniang with a smile on his face.

Liu Jingchun is now retired, and his nephew Liu Rongcheng took over his position. At this time, Liu Rongcheng was also standing in the crowd, looking around with a nervous expression.

Standing beside Gu Yunniang, although Liu Jingchun had a smile on his face, he was in a state of great trouble. When he formed a relationship with Huang Laifu back then, he was just a consideration of the interests of both parties. Now, as Huang Laifu's status gradually rises, his position has far surpassed him. Will he still care about this relationship?

No matter what, Huang Laifu is now in power, and Liu Jingchun really hopes that Huang Laifu can take care of his nephew Liu Rongcheng in his past relationships.

The family has been rewarding each other again and again, where has the master been there? The cheers have been getting closer and closer, and Gu Yunniang and others have all expressed excitement on their faces. Huang Laifu has been on the battle for another two years, and the girls have long missed them.

Finally, Huang Laifu's chariot and horse ceremonial guards came to his eyes. The flag-plaque ceremonial guards were blurred by everyone's eyes, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Butler Yang shouted suddenly: "Play music!"

Immediately, drums and music were heard, and firecrackers exploded.

Amid the noise, Huang Laifu got off the horse with a smile on his face. Although he had a dusty smell on his body, he was in great spirits and his waist was straight.

When Huang Laifu came to the front, Gu Yunniang led everyone to bow down: "I'm waiting to welcome the master back home!"

Huang Laifu smiled and helped Gu Yunniang up and said, "Madam, don't be too polite, please get up!"

He looked at Gu Yunniang, and although he saw that she was pretty, she was obviously much more haggard. It was because she was exhausted by a woman who managed such a large house.

He sighed, "After two years of separation, you have lost weight. In the past two years, Mrs. Lao, you have been doing housework and are ashamed of your husband."

Gu Yunniang's eyes turned red and she said, "You are out of the battle and I am at home. This is my duty. I dare not talk about hard work!"

She called her son Huang Dalang and said, "Boy, come and see your father!"

Huang Dalang is eight years old this year, with a tiger-headed and swallow-chilling chin, which is quite like a father. He led his younger brothers to kowtow to Huang Laifu: "I have met my father! My father is on the expedition, and I have worked hard all the way!"

Huang Laifu was quite pleased and said, "Okay, okay, it's rare for you to be filial, get up!"

Huang Dalang and others stood up and stood behind Gu Yunniang and others. People said that they had a wife and son, their father made meritorious service, and their legitimate son had a family of honor. Now Huang Dalang is the title of commander of the Jinyiwei, and when he becomes an adult, he can take office.

At this time, Huang Laifu saw Liu Jingchun also beside him, and he bowed and said, "It turns out that his adoptive father is here, how dare he work for his adoptive father to come out to greet him in person?"

When Liu Jingchun saw Huang Laifu talking like this, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Laifu, you have returned from the expedition and received the reward from the court again. This is a great thing. How can you not come out to greet your father? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Although the Ming Dynasty courts have honors, and their rituals are all rituals. However, if there are relatives, they can also perform private rituals according to their power. Therefore, Huang Laifu and Liu Jingchun can perform private rituals, and Liu Jingchun does not have to kowtow to Huang Laifu.

Huang Laifu and Liu Jingchun chatted with him for a few words. Liu Jingchun called his nephew Liu Rongcheng to come out to pay homage to Huang Laifu. When he saw Huang Laifu, a famous figure in the world, Liu Rongcheng was very nervous, but he was speechless.

Seeing this situation, Liu Jingchun shook his head helplessly. Huang Laifu also frowned.

At this time, the eldest sister Huang Zirou stood up and smiled, "My brother has been promoted again this time. Look, Yun Niang has become a first-class lady of imperial edicts. I wonder how many women he envys. Brother, I heard that the emperor is doting on you. When will you help your brother-in-law say a few good words and help your sister get an imperial edict!"

Seeing this situation, everyone laughed. Fortunately, Huang Laifu's sister Huang Xiurou had already gotten married, otherwise she would be the first to jump out and speak. The eldest brother-in-law Xu Xueshi whispered to blame the eldest sister for how she could speak like this. The eldest sister just laughed indifferently.

Huang Laifu shook his head helplessly, and surrounded by everyone, he rushed into the Governor's Mansion.
