Chapter 503 Old Friends

Ximen Kai returned to Kaifeng with his family. Outside Kaifeng City, he looked up at the tall city gate and had mixed feelings.

Outside the city gate is Ximen Qi, an old member of the Ximen family. The old Ximen house has been handed over, but the Ximen family still has a century-old legacy in Beijing.Just handing over a gifted residence, to them, is more like handing over the honor of the family, but it does not affect the foundation of their Ximen family in Beijing.Of course, these foundations are only financial. The Ximen family's personal connections in the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple are really the biggest foundation of the Ximen family. In just ten years, they have long since disappeared.

"Uncle." Ximen Qi saluted Ximen. He was the son of Ximen Zai, a scholar. Later, when Ximen Zai took Ximen Kai away, he left Ximen Qi in charge. After the tragedy of the Ximen clan, the vitality of the Ximen family was severely damaged, so Ximen Zai left Ximen Qi in charge. Qi doesn't have to do anything, just keep the family business.Ximen Qi has been very supportive in Beijing these years.

"Brother Qi, thank you for your hard work!" Ximen Kai was very familiar with Ximen Qi. When he was in Beijing, Ximen Qi was also helping Ximen manage some private property in Beijing, which was completely different from the old man's system.

"Fortunately, when the master left Beijing, he instructed the villain to contact the Qiao family if anything happened. In recent years, there has been nothing major." Ximen Qi was a little embarrassed.

The Ximen family collapsed all of a sudden. What is the benefit of the Ximen family operating in Beijing for a hundred years? When the major families divide their profits, they naturally have to carve out the best one.Waiting for the Ximen family to completely withdraw from the court, it will not be easy to keep this family business.Ximen was no longer the owner who was willing to sacrifice his life and wealth. Some of the partnership properties were all handed over to the big families in the capital, and what was left behind was not something that would be coveted by first-class families.But just because the first-class people don't care, doesn't mean that the second- and third-class people don't care. Ximen Zai knows these things, and asking the Qiao family for help is Ximen Zai's last step.He didn't know if the Qiao family would help. Anyway, what he said was that he would rather give it to the Qiao family than take advantage of the carrion beasts.

Ximen Qi is also a son of the Ximen family and is full of pride for the Ximen family.Even if he was asked to bow to those people, he would not do it.Of course, what he didn't expect was that the master would ask him to ask for help from the Qiao family, but soon he was relieved.After all, there is still a princess in the Qiao family. With the blessing of the royal aura, Ximen Qi will ask the Qiao family for help.He was very touched that the princess was a nice person and she had finally spent these years smoothly.

Ximenkai nodded, feeling that his second uncle was obviously more like an old man than his father in judging the situation.Thinking of the old man and his parents, Ximen Kai felt pain again. Sometimes, he didn't know how he should face this matter.He has actually found out what his grandfather did over the years. Even if he knows that Qingqing is not the one who talks nonsense, this is his grandfather and he must find out by himself.

Fortunately, Ximen Zhi is a man with a desire for power. Even if he leaves the capital, the old housekeeper of Ximen's old house is still Ximen Zhi's confidant.Otherwise, Ximen Qi and his son would not have just taken care of Ximen Zai's private property.Waiting for the news to come from the old lady and the others, the old butler's spirit also collapsed. There were some things that had no evidence for a long time, but the old butler was the best witness, because Ximen Zhi couldn't do everything by himself, and the old butler was The parties involved.Knowing the truth, what can Ximen Kai say?Everyone is dead, what more can be said.He couldn't even say that the Ximen family members were innocent, because Qingqing had given him the number of dead at that time. This was the Sun family's revenge.Weren’t the Sun family and Liu family innocent at the beginning?
So in the first three years of Ximen's life, he kept filial piety in his hometown and rebuilt Ximen Village. He did not agree with his second uncle's advice to let Ximen Village be abandoned.After all, too many people have died, and the grievances of these people will turn the village into a ghost village.Ximen Kai found someone to do something for him, flattened Ximen Village, and started all over again.It is now called Yancun.Halfway up the mountain facing the village, Ximenkai also built a large temple and invited eminent monks to sit in battle.And he himself worked as a local head catcher after his filial piety was over. He never thought at that time that he could return to the capital. What he thought was that he would make that place prosperous again.

Ten years seemed like a lifetime had passed for him.The new Yancun is now the most prosperous and prosperous place there, and the forgetful people seem to have forgotten the tragedy.The Ximen family seems to have a new big family.When they arrived at the Ximen family's mansion, a very neat mansion in the west city, Ximen Qi had already cleaned up. Ximen Kai did not take a rest immediately, but looked at his wife, "Don't clean up now, let's go to Qiao's house to visit first."

"Don't send a greeting card?" Ximen's young lady Xiao was married to Ximen Zai in her hometown. She was a junior official, but her parents had good tutors. She has also shown her good tutoring in these years. More importantly, She was born in a particularly harmonious family, with loving parents and a simple family. She carries a warmth that Ximenkai and the others don't have.Over the years, Ximenkai felt that his second uncle had chosen the right person for him, and he felt really happy.Even if he doesn't have a son, he doesn't think there's any problem. He has two beautiful and optimistic daughters.

"No need for the Qiao family. Their house is just like ours. They never close the door." Ximen laughed. From being a catcher to being the head catcher, he was just like the Qiao family. They never closed the door and allowed those in need to do whatever they wanted. Push away and smile at everyone who asks for help.He studied deliberately at the time, but gradually, he almost forgot that these were the Qiao family's traditions.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened, but she didn't ask any questions. She called her daughter, took out the gift she had prepared long ago, and got into the car driven by Ximen.

"Mom, Kaifeng is so big!" The eldest daughter Ximen Cheng opened the car curtain and stared with her big beautiful eyes.

"Of course, this is the capital." The second daughter Ximen Jue also squeezed over and said calmly.

"Okay, sit tight." Ximenkai couldn't help but smile when he saw his daughter. Now he finally knew why Qiao Dayong acted like that when he mentioned his daughter. After he had his daughter, he turned out to be like a fool.With a light flick of the whip, the donkey cart started slowly. They went to Beijing in a horse-drawn carriage, but they just changed to a donkey cart.

This is also their habit in their hometown. Every time he takes his wife and daughter with him, he likes to drive the donkey cart slowly down the street like this.At the earliest, he couldn't help but think about how Qingqing was sitting in Xiao Yue's car, leaning on Xiao Yue's shoulder. Thinking about it, he felt very happy.But this association disappeared after he had his second baby, because after that guy turned into a two-legged beast, as soon as he got in the car, he would climb on his back and stretch out his arms. His little head was chattering, making him unable to think of anything.
