My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 191 Ding’an is home
King Xia is the third son of the Su family. He didn't even enter the house when he passed by the house last time. He was in a hurry to fight with Wei. Now he quietly returned to the city and was about to enter the house. Not to mention the relatives of the Su family, even the maids of all sizes in the house. They were all excited. Some of them with beautiful looks even secretly applied some powder on themselves. If King Xia fell in love with them, they would reach the sky in one step.

The steward of the family, Shou Bo, is one of the stewards of the Su Mansion and is also the eldest one.

He stood in front of a group of maids and servants. As the steward of the house and someone who had watched Su Chen grow up, he raised his snow-white head with an expression as expected on his face. He bowed to the young maids and servants behind him quite excitedly. The voice said:
"I knew that the Third Young Master was not an ordinary person. You don't know that when the Third Young Master was born, the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance, and a large number of magpies stood on the eaves and branches and kept chirping. Later, when the Third Young Master was born, he crawled on the ground at the age of six months. He grew up very quickly. He was able to speak clearly at the age of one, and he could speak well at the age of five and could recite poems... Fang Xueshi of Yunqi County once said that the third young master will definitely have talents in the world in the future... He also made an appointment with our Su Mansion. Baby kiss.

However, he got a serious illness when he was seven years old. From that time on, the Third Young Master rarely showed his intelligence in front of others, which disappointed many people. But I know, this is hiding clumsiness... Only those who do great things... can hide their clumsiness. Look, the third young master has become a king! "

Thirteen hugged the sword unhappily: "You listen to him, you might as well listen to me. I have been with the king for many years, went to a brothel together, and fought together..."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of the head by the old steward.

There was chatter here, and in front of the mansion, Su Congfang looked at the lanterns hung high, the red silk draped, and the red everywhere. He took a breath, rubbed his hands, and asked his old wife in a low voice.

"It would be great if Changsheng comes back and prepares a big banquet for him. It's so thick and elaborate, and everyone is waiting here. How cold it is."

"You should be a good lord, you don't have to worry about my son." Xiao Wei paused the crutch in her hand, "I not only have to welcome Changsheng home, but I also have to welcome the generals under Changsheng's command to give my son a good face. , You, the Marquis, really don’t understand anything, and the longer you live, the more you go back."

The eldest brother Su Yong was also greeted at the gate of the mansion. The scar on his face was still there, but it did not affect his status as the heir apparent in the Hou Mansion. He was also anxiously looking at the street ahead, keeping a relaxed tone and smiling. Said: "Last time I saw my third brother outside the city, we didn't even talk to each other. How come I have to sleep well tonight!"

Beside him, his wife Su Huan held her infant son in her arms, with a peaceful smile on her pure face.

She had always taken good care of her brother-in-law, and never said anything bad or gave him an unfavorable look because of his bad reputation in the city.

Now, what's left in my heart is more gratitude for saving Su Yong.

On the other side was Su Lie. He didn't think as much as his elder brother thought. He just walked back and forth to ask a few questions to the young man who came back from inquiring. His wife Huahong really winked at him, which made Su Lie glare at him.

"I care about you brother, what's next to you!"

Hua Hongzhen, who was wearing makeup, snorted and turned her body sideways.

At this time, another spying boy picked up a lantern and ran back quickly. As he ran, he shouted happily: "He's back! The king is back!"

As he spoke, the sound of footsteps and carriages and horses came from the street behind him. In a moment, three teams held torches, and the roaring sound shook the armor leaves. A strange and tall carriage He was escorted in the middle and came slowly. There were several generals accompanying him on the left and right sides of the carriage. Xun Yu and Le Jin in the city were also among them. The county captain Chen Luoping, the prefect Sun Shuwu, and the former generals Zhang You and Xu Qinghu could only act as foils. , but as the first generals to surrender, they can be regarded as old ministers in the Xia King's line. They are riding on horseback with their backs straight.

"stop!"

Wu Zixun rode ahead. When the carriage was level with the palace gate, he reined in his horse, raised his hand, and shouted.

The five hundred soldiers suddenly stopped their steps, turned around and faced the people in front of the Su Mansion, and then with a loud clang, they separated to the left and right, revealing a path.

The curtain of the cart was opened, and a tall figure wearing a white velvet collar and a golden-edged mountain mantle came out, dragging a white cloak. Standing on the carriage, he saw the two elders in front of the door. His lips, which had a short beard, showed a different look than usual. smile.

Su Chen waved his hand for the soldiers to help him, jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward and bowed heavily to his father and mother: "Dad, mother, my child has made us worried."

After saying this, in addition to Su Congfang and his wife, and brothers Su Yong and Su Lie, even the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law and a group of relatives all bowed to Su Chen.

"Meet the king!"

"My family doesn't need to be too polite."

After Su Chen finished speaking, the generals in the queue, as well as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Sun Shuwu and other scribes also dismounted their horses one by one and stood in line behind Su Chen.

These people are all fierce and powerful. The old couple have seen some of them, some have never seen them before. After Su Yong came back from Yanjing, he heard him talk about the fierce generals under Su Chen's command like clouds, masters like forests, and the soldiers are even more ferocious. horrible.

The old couple had never seen how to fight, but the generals standing in front of them made people dare not look into each other's eyes.

At this time, Fang Xuejun also got out of the car, ran to Su Chen's side, and helped Xiao Wei. Also coming down with her was Yang Yuhuan, who was wearing a red dress and a gold hairpin. When she came out of the car, the people in the Su Mansion immediately made the people in the Su Mansion smile slightly. He was stunned. Firstly, he had never seen this woman before. Secondly, he came out of the car with Su Chen. Her identity must be extraordinary.

"Changsheng, Mr. Xue, and that girl, let's go home for dinner together!" Xiao Wei swept the willow branches for her son. She greeted Mr. Xue and Yang Yuhuan generously, and asked Su Congfang to greet all the subordinates of her son. Will.

Su Chen smiled and held his mother's hand. He also looked at his eldest brother and his second brother who were looking at each other with smiles, and said, "Let's go back to the house together!" Then, the guard who was looking at the crowd ordered: "Thirteen, take someone with you. Clean up the lonely south wing!"

When Su Chen called his name, Thirteen was so excited that tears almost came out. He squeezed out of the crowd and turned back to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian, are you still in the same room as before?" Dian Wei looked at him silently. , showed a rare smile, patted his shoulder twice, and then strode to follow Su Chen.

Then came Li Xuanba. He looked at the red silk and lanterns hanging around him, and he seemed to have returned to the side courtyard in Taiyuan. When he celebrated his 16th birthday, his second brother also celebrated it for him in this way.

"Wow, look at the man who went in with the hammer. He's almost as tall as General Dian!"

"Ouch, those hammers are bigger than my head... if they hit someone, wouldn't their bones be shattered to pieces?"

"So he is the general... Third Young Master... ah... Your Majesty, you are so powerful. How can you recruit so many powerful generals?"

In the eyes of all the maids and servants, Xia Houyuan, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Zhang Yi, Zhang He, Li Jue and other generals walked into the front yard under the enthusiastic guidance of Su Congfang.

From time to time he greets the names of generals he knows, and sometimes he is polite to generals he has never seen before and asks them their names.

"This old general, I don't know your name yet." When she saw Zhao Yun, she felt that his appearance was similar to hers. Su Congfang couldn't help but feel a little cordial and held her hand towards him.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, cupped his hands towards Su Congfang, and said simply: "I'm Zhao Yun." He said nothing more.

All around, Zhang He, Li Jue and others laughed and were about to speak. When they saw Zhao Yun looking back at them, they immediately shut up and pretended to be chatting without incident.

Back in the front yard, Su Chen sat at one table with his parents, brothers, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu. The military generals sat at three tables, and Yang Yuhuan, Li Wangqiu, Fang Xuejun, Su Huan, and Hua Hongzhen sat at the same table.

The rest were all relatives of the Su family, and Su Ting was among them, surrounded by his parents who kept asking after him and checking his injuries.

Then he came over and kowtowed to Su Chen to thank him, but Xiao Wei persuaded him to go back.

Shou Bo, the steward, hurriedly asked the kitchen to serve the food. For a while, the maids were holding dinner plates, passing by the light of red lanterns, serving food and wine for the banquet in the courtyard.

The banquet was filled with people drinking and drinking, and the atmosphere became lively. However, the banquet did not last long. After all, everyone had traveled a long distance, first from Yanjing to Wei. After several months of this, everyone was tired.

After eating and drinking, Guo Jia and Xun Yu led them to the south wing of the Hou Mansion. Apart from Dong Zhuo's adopted daughter and her mother, there were only one or two servants. A dozen generals found a room at random. After taking off his armor, he washed up casually, then lay down on the soft bedding and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Chen talked with her mother and two brothers for a while. When asked who the woman in the red dress was, Su Chen smiled and said, "I call her aunt. You don't have to think too much."

"You have become a prince, and mother can't stop you from whatever you want to do. But although that girl is good-looking, she looks older than you, so she is not a good match. You should hurry up and let Mr. Xue pass. After all, We have been engaged in marriage since we were young, and we were childhood sweethearts with you, so the two families know each other well."

"That's right, you see that the eldest brother is already holding the baby, so you should hold on tighter." After Su Yong came back, although he was as gentle and gentle as before, his personality became much more cheerful. He could say whatever he wanted and no longer hid it. Tucked.

Su Chen put down his chopsticks and laughed: "Second brother hasn't even given birth yet, and you're urging me to wake him up? But don't worry, I will definitely give birth to more babies than you, haha!"

Xiao Wei saw Su Lie's face darken, she quickly laughed, and gently patted Su Chen on the shoulder who was joking: "I call you Prince Xia in front of others, why are you still so out of shape! Forget it, mother, go back and rest. After a long journey, Changsheng will go back and rest. I will talk to your two brothers tomorrow."

"Originally, I wanted to find my third brother and sleep together, but it seems that it's not possible. However, mother is right, go and rest quickly. The three of us brothers can talk to each other tomorrow."

Su Chen nodded and said goodbye to his eldest brother and second brother.After a long journey, no matter how strong your body is, you will still be tired. Seeing Su Chen get up and leave, Thirteen quickly grabbed the lantern from a boy who was leading the way and walked in front to help light the way.

"Young master, I've heard it all here. You really defeated Wei Guo and took so much food, gold and silver. When things came into the city, I also followed the prince to see the people in the city. They all crowded over, and they all said that the young master fought well, which made us Yan people look good, and also avenged the people who were killed in Fenzhou."

"Even though it looks impressive, people will die in war."

Su Chen walked into the south wing with Dian Wei and Li Xuanba who was yawning again and again. The sound of snoring in the courtyard was so deafening that it felt like the window frames were trembling slightly.

"Thirteen, take Dian Wei and this Li Xuanba to the room."

Su Chen gave the order, then turned and walked to the ancestral hall. The soldiers had already moved the memorial tablets in the car and placed them on them. He went in and burned a stick of incense.

"The New Year is almost here, why not bring all the generals back to reunite with Your Majesty and have a good New Year."

Immediately a group of emperors agreed.
