Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 224 Returning on a Snowy Night

The early morning wind was brisk, and a horse was galloping freely. The young man on the horse was strong and strong. He took off his bow and arrows while running. Seven arrows were already loaded in the rapid-fire quiver. Standing up, the horse under his crotch seemed to be connected with his mind, and it slowed down slightly in an instant. The young man opened his bow and drew an arrow, but he could hear the sound of crashing and crashing, and in a moment he shot out seven arrows at once.

After shooting the arrows, the young man put away his bow and arrows, took the reins, and the horse roared and turned around. The follower who was walking a hundred paces away got off his horse and ran a few quick steps to the prey. He was suddenly speechless.

I saw seven feather arrows shooting out like the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, trapping the fat rabbit in the formation. Wu Haining made a "tsk" sound, reached out and grabbed the rabbit's ears, shook it at Li Weijian from a distance, and shouted: "My master has mastered his magic skills!"

A group of more than 20 horses stopped. Buktu glanced at it and praised: "Master Li's amazing skill! He only trapped the prey without damaging the skin. I have lived for more than thirty years and I have only seen Zhuo Suotu's Bagan, the eagle shooter, has this magical skill!"

Li Weijian, who came back from the roundabout, laughed and said, "I'm not honest. If you want to make fun of me, I will make fun of you. Who did you learn this skill of flattering?"

Buktu said cheerfully: "When you are in your hometown, do as the Romans do."

Li Weijian reined in his horse and took a look, and saw that the rabbit in Wu Haining's hand was indeed plump, so he ordered: "Stew it in the evening, peel off the skin, and tan it for me later."

Turning to look at Bu Ketu, the two rode together and said: "The war in Qinghai has subsided, and the food and grass allocated by the court will arrive soon. After this winter, it's time for Old Bu to put down his weapons and recuperate."

Bu Ketu nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is that I have made the deer department accustomed to raising deer, but I am not familiar with raising cattle and sheep."

Li Weijian tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "After arresting so many herdsmen, are you afraid that you can't raise cattle and sheep?" Bu Ketu was speechless, and Li Weijian said again: "I will return to the capital in the near future. How about the wool business?" Son, take care of it when you get back. Lao Bu will hurry up and breed the long-haired sheep. The other sheep can only eat meat and spin felt, but the wool of this long-haired sheep can be used to make woolen cloth."

Buktu said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir, the lower officials will definitely take care of this matter."

As they were talking, suddenly a horse came from a distance, but it was Wu Zhong who was beside Li Weijian. When he reined in his horse, Li Weijian asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master, the prince has summoned me to tell you that I will return to Xining as soon as possible."

King Zhongyong summoned him, but Li Weijian did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly said goodbye to Buketu, led Wu Haining, Wu Zhong, a dozen forbidden troops and 20 guards sent by Buketu, and hurriedly set off for Xining.

After arriving in Xining two days later, I heard the Tangma Express just after entering the city, saying that the Balni Kingdom invaded the border, and the general Yue Zhongqi was so angry that he launched an army to attack and destroyed his country in half a month. Now a deputy general was sent to escort the king, queen, and prime minister all the way to the capital.

Li Weijian was immediately stunned and thought to himself, good guy, General Yue is so fierce. No wonder he is a descendant of Yue Fei. He destroyed a country with only three thousand soldiers and horses!

I'm afraid that Yue Zhongqi is venting his dissatisfaction. After all, he didn't catch up with the battle with Junggar. Hearing that Junggar defeated Qinghai, he asked himself to go north to sweep the southern border. Unfortunately, the saint and the chief minister were not allowed, so he could only count the numbers in Uzang. Yak play. If you finally bump into someone who can't open your eyes, why don't you beat him to death?

When he arrived at the government office, Li Weijian got off his horse and just entered the gate. The eunuch Chen Fu came up to him with a smile: "Why are you here, Mr. Li? The prince is impatient after waiting for two days and is about to send someone from our family to rush him." .”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "How is your prince doing these days?"

The two of them walked side by side, and Chen Fu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Li, the prince no longer needs crutches these days. He has been lying here for too long, and it is not easy to move around now."

A piece of rotten flesh was dug out of his right leg, and after lying there for several months, the muscles atrophied. It would be great if King Zhongyong could stop being lame.

The two of them chatted for a few words, then entered together and saw King Zhongyong standing with his hands behind his back, staring at the map hanging on the wall.

Chen Fu whispered: "Your Majesty, Master Li is here."

"Yeah." King Zhongyong responded, but still stared at the map. After a long while, he turned around and said, "What a pity."

What's a pity? It's a pity that he was injured accidentally, otherwise none of Junggar's big and small strategies would be able to escape back this time. Last month, Wu Yi's army pursued to Sangluohai and had a fierce battle with Zhuigar Dace Ling, killing more than 6,000 enemies. Dace Ling immediately retreated. General Zhang Yu stopped when he saw that he was ready. He followed the earlier instructions of King Zhongyong and stopped in front of the Sangluo Sea and no longer pursued.

Afterwards, the veteran general Feng Tang felt very sad. He ordered Wuyi Town to pursue the pursuit again, but where was the Junggar people anywhere?

Looking back at the situation, Dace Ling's remnant troops were trapped and lacked horses. Wu Yi Zhen only had to follow them to lose at least half of their troops in the vast sea. No matter what, Junggar suffered such a severe blow and it will not be able to recover within a few years. A few years later, Dashun strengthened his troops and became more powerful, and the destruction of Junggar was just a matter of time!

King Zhongyong had recovered a few months ago, and the saint repeatedly issued orders urging him to return to the capital, but King Zhongyong refused to leave. Why? The opportunity to destroy Junggar in this battle has appeared, but it is a pity that Dashun did not seize it. King Zhongyong was extremely unwilling.

King Zhongyong pondered for a moment and said to the outside: "Bring the things up."

The Imperial Guards outside responded, and within a moment they came in carrying a large Sky-Speeding Monkey.

Li Weijian glanced at it and said, "Is this the thing that hurt the prince?"

King Zhongyong nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is." He stepped forward, touched his hand and said, "The tail is nine inches long, made of solid wood. The medicine barrel is more than two feet long, three inches in diameter, and is made entirely of thin copper. It can shoot hundreds of feet, and it will not be affected by the east wind created by resurrection.”

Li Weijian frowned. The more he looked at this thing, the more it looked like the Congreve rocket used by the British. Is it just that the Congreve rocket is now available?

Then King Zhongyong said again: "The captives told me that this thing was made by the craftsmen of the Rakshasa Kingdom...it just appeared last year. After resurrection, do you know what I am worried about?"

Li Weijian was so happy that he immediately said: "But the Military Academy leaked Dongfeng?"

"Exactly!" King Zhongyong was furious. If he hadn't been injured by this senseless thing, maybe this battle would have severely damaged Junggar even if it couldn't destroy it. Not to mention that such an opportunity was wasted now. King Zhongyong almost lost his life. "I will stay in Xining this winter. I will return to the capital as soon as possible after resurrecting. I will take my handwritten letter with me. I will investigate this matter strictly and dig out the thief who leaked the military plane. He will be executed in Lingchi!"

"Yes, I will present the letter to the saint."

King Zhongyong looked at Li Weijian and felt very convinced that Li Fusheng was a lucky general. As soon as he came to Qinghai, he hit Xiaoce Ling with more than 2,000 Dongfeng bombs and was defeated. Later, he died on the edge of the vast sea. He turned around and used maggots to save his life.

With both civil and military skills, and at such a young age, he seems to be a good match for his daughter Meng Qing... Well, when King Zhongyong thought of marrying his daughter, his face suddenly turned ferocious, and he even looked at Li Weijian with displeasure.

He quickly withdrew his thoughts and thought for a moment, then King Zhongyong said:

"Go down and rest. You won't be here for the next two days."

Li Weijian stepped back in response. He was thoughtful, so how could he not know that King Zhongyong suddenly became cold? In his heart, Monk Zhang Er was confused and couldn't figure out which part of the song the prince was singing, so he had no choice but to go to the city to rest.

After two days, Li Weijian packed up everything and said goodbye to King Zhongyong. Then Li Weijian set out to return to the capital. At this time, the Double Ninth Festival has passed, and it is already late autumn in the pass.

............................................................

But by October, the provincial villa in Rongguo Mansion had been completed. On this day, Master Jia Zheng ordered Baoyu to accompany him, and they walked around the garden together.

A group of Qing Dynasty guests were clamoring for their foreheads, and Baoyu's brilliant idea aroused the praises of all the Qing Dynasty guests. Although Jia Zheng didn't show it on his face, his son couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart when he received such praise.

After half a day of wandering and returning to the study, Jia Zheng saw that Baoyu had also followed him, and he shouted: "Aren't you going yet? Isn't it enough to wander around? I don't want to wander around for half a day, and the old lady will be hanging. Come in quickly, my pain will be in vain." It hurts!”

When Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly stepped back and ran away as soon as he could get out the door. In the blink of an eye, he was stopped by a group of boys. They only said that Second Master Bao had won a fortune in front of the master, so he had to share some of the profits. Immediately without waiting for Baoyu's answer, one picked up the sachet and the other grabbed the fan pendant. Then they lifted Baoyu and went to the second gate of Jia Mu's courtyard before putting them down and dispersed.

The maid Yuanyang hurriedly led Baoyu inside, and said as she walked: "Second Master Bao is finally here. The old lady learned that Master Bao was ordered by him, but she was worried for a long time. It's not Bao's mistake. Now that the second master is here, I’m afraid I’ll have to send my mother-in-law to check in the garden again.”

Baoyu was very proud and said with a smile: "Can you still eat me?"

Stepping into the inner room, Jia's mother hurriedly asked, Baoyu smiled and said: "I didn't make things difficult, but praised her a few times." Seeing Daiyu accompanying the old lady at this moment, Baoyu showed off and seemed to raise the question just now. , looking quite proud.

He also saw that although Daiyu echoed a few words of praise, but she didn't care at all on her face, Baoyu suddenly felt angry.

Hearing this, Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and hugged Baoyu for a while. She thought about Baoyu wandering around for a long time, and then hurriedly called the maid to clean Baoyu.

After Baoyu had scrubbed it, Xiren brought the tea cup. Seeing that there was nothing left on Baoyu, he smiled and said, "Did you take off the shameless thing again?"

Baoyu held the tea cup and said, "I've been wandering around for half a day, and there are many people who are on tenterhooks, so I left them alone, and there is no shortage of them." After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly saw Daiyu carrying a sachet with him, and Baoyu was heartbroken. As soon as he moved, he quickly dropped the tea cup and came over.

He smiled and said, "Sister Lin, why don't you give this sachet to me? It's really not good-looking for me to be empty."

Daiyu leaned back slightly and said calmly: "Brother Bao, what you said makes no sense. If someone else took your belongings, why would you come to me to get it repaired? And these personal belongings are not given away casually. Bao If second brother wants it, just ask Xiren to embroider one for you later."

Baoyu refused to give up. He took off the sachet and said cheerfully, "I want this."

"Eh?" Daiyu was anxious and reached out to grab it, but Baoyu dodged it.

There were only two maids around at the moment, and they couldn't talk to each other. Mother Jia was still looking at them with a smile and said nothing. If Aunt Wei was here, she could still say a few words, but now she can't hope for it.

Although Daiyu was rebellious at heart and did not indulge in extraneous things, she always followed the etiquette and laws when traveling. She and Li Weijian had already been in love, how could she let Baoyu take the sachet for nothing?

Because his mind changed, he suddenly came up with a plan and said with a smile: "If Brother Bao really wants it, I have a better one here."

Baoyu was immediately overjoyed, came over and asked, "But is it for me?"

Daiyu opened her mouth to speak, but Baoyu was listening attentively. Suddenly, Daiyu reached out and grabbed the sachet, and then her expression changed: "No. If you want the sachet, it would be better to ask Sister Bao, and Sister Bao will definitely agree."

Daiyu stood up and smiled with Jia Mu: "Grandma, I'm feeling sleepy right now, so I'll go back first."

Jia Mu nodded in agreement, and Daiyu immediately led the two maids away, looking at Baoyu with astonishment. Jia Mu didn't care, she just said that the two little ones were playing naughty.

Without Daiyu's sachet, Baoyu's mood waned, but he chatted briefly with Jia Mu for a while, then stood up and turned to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's place was very lively at this time. It turned out that the twelve young actors Jia Qiang had purchased, taught and acted first-class were here. Mrs. Wang discussed with Aunt Xue and her two sisters and asked Aunt Xue to move to the small courtyard in the northeast and live with Xue Pan.

The vacant Lixiangyuan was reserved for young actors to perform and rehearse. Mrs. Wang greeted Baoyu briefly, but Baochai happened to be there at the same time, so she ordered the two of them to go aside and play mischief, while she ordered Prime Minister Jia Qiang to take care of daily expenses, money, etc., as well as all the materials and accounts needed by everyone.

Just after sending Jia Qiang away, there was another call from Lin Zhixiao's family: "The interview hired ten little nuns and little Taoist nuns, and even a newly made 20-cent monk's robe. There is a hairdresser who is practicing. She is from Suzhou, and her ancestors also came from a family of scholars and officials. Because this girl was sick since she was a child, many substitutes were bought, but none worked. In the end, this girl entered Buddhism herself and got better. So she took her hair to practice. , is only eighteen years old this year, and his legal name is Miaoyu.

Now that both parents are dead, there are only two old ladies and a little girl around to serve him. He is also very proficient in writing and calligraphy, and there is no need to study scriptures. His appearance is also very good. Because I heard that there were Guanyin relics and Beiye relics in the capital, I followed the master up here last year and now I live in Muni Courtyard outside Ximen. Her master performed the innate divine numbers extremely well and passed away last winter. Miaoyu originally wanted to support her soul and return to her hometown, but her master's last words before her death were that her food, clothing, and daily life were not suitable for her to return to her hometown, and she should live here quietly, which would naturally lead to your consequences. That’s why she didn’t return to her hometown..."

Mrs. Wang didn't wait for her reply before she said, "In that case, why don't we pick her up?"

Lin Zhixiao's family member replied: "Invite her. She said, 'The Duke Hou Men's Mansion will use his power to overwhelm others, and I won't go there again.'"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Since she is an official lady, she is naturally proud, so why not just invite her in the next post."

Lin Zhixiao's family agreed to go out and ordered Qi Xianggong to write an invitation to Miaoyu and leave it to send someone to prepare a car and sedan to pick her up the next day.

After that, servants kept coming and going. Some people asked Sister Feng to open the warehouse to get gauze and silk, and some said they wanted to use gold and silver utensils. There were all kinds of chaos.

Baochai saw it and said to Baoyu, "Let's not get in the way here and go find Tan girl."

The two came out of Mrs. Wang's place. Baoyu suddenly remembered just now and blurted out: "Today I went to the garden to ask for my forehead. When Mingyan saw that I was praised by the master, a swarm of bees seemed to snatch away all the things I wore. Sister Bao But if you have a sachet and a purse, why not give one to me as well."

Baochai tilted her head slightly and said with a smile, "Why don't you go to see Sister Lin?"

Baoyu said sarcastically: "I want it, but Sister Lin won't give it to me."

Sister Bao thought for a while and said, "I don't have anything suitable at the moment. Come to my place to pick it up in two days."

Baoyu was immediately overjoyed. She smiled and cupped her hands and said, "Thank you very much, Sister Bao. I also said that Sister Bao is as stingy as Sister Lin."

Baochai's face seemed to be smiling, but in fact there was no smile at all. I thought to myself, it was strange, how could it be that Daiyu was separated from Baoyu when she came back after a year? Then I thought again, that's fine. Now that Li Weijian has no hope, he just wants to spend more time on Baoyu's side.

The two of them came out of the courtyard, and in a blink of an eye they arrived in front of Baoxia, where De Tanchun and Xichun were. Afterwards, they and Tanchun were playing naughty together.

............................................................

West of Beijing, Tieksuan Temple. In the living room, the orbs gently knocked on the wooden fish, but the thumping sound could not hide the curses of the two women.

"...If you become a monk, you might as well get tonsured so that we don't have to endure hardships together."

Another mother-in-law also said: "Yes, I sincerely invite you to come back. Now that you have recognized your godfather, won't you enjoy endless blessings when you go back? I don't know what to think, but I just want to eat and pray here."

Baozhu wears a monk's hat, but has never been ordained. He just frowns and closes his eyes and concentrates on knocking the wooden fish. In front of his eyes, the scene of Ruizhu's death flashed from time to time.

How can she go back? How dare you go back? Ruizhu is learning from the past. How can she still be alive when she goes back? If I had to stay here for the rest of my life, I would at least be able to survive.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and a woman asked, "Who is it again?"

When there was no answer from the outside, another woman said: "The abbot must have come here again to urge the scented oil. He is urging me, just like a ghost asking for my life."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, suddenly a sharp knife came out from his back, and a dark figure covered the woman's mouth and pushed her inside.

Just as the other woman was about to scream, she heard a crashing sound, and an arrow shot towards her, coming straight out from the back of the woman's head. The woman fell to the ground exhausted without saying a word.

Baozhu opened his eyes and was about to scream.

The man in black unhurriedly pulled out the knife, kicked the dead woman down, and stabbed the dead woman without saying a word.

Baozhu only said that my life was over, and hurriedly frowned and closed his eyes, but he heard a jingling sound, and then shouts. When he opened his eyes, he saw two men in black had fallen dead, and there were several more embroidered people in the room. Yifanzi.

One of them leaned over to breathe, took off the black cloth covering his face, shook his head at a short and stocky man and said, "Mr. doctor, the thief committed suicide by taking poison, leaving no one alive."

Wu Qian, the doctor of the Shenxing Division, frowned, then looked at the orb, raised his hand and pointed: "Take this girl away."

"Yes."

When two people came up, the orb didn't dare to resist, and let it block its mouth and nose, then picked it up and left. Fanzimen came and went even faster, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. After everyone left, the two corpses on the ground slowly got up.

The two men looked at each other, then picked up the candlestick and threw it towards the bed, and a fire broke out in an instant. He also searched for kerosene from outside and sprinkled it everywhere, and a raging fire suddenly broke out in the side courtyard of Tiejuan Temple. By the time everyone in the Jia family realized that the water had gone out, it was already too late to put out the fire.

Fortunately, there was heavy snow falling outside at this time, and someone demolished the neighboring house in the side courtyard, which prevented the fire from spreading.

Even so, the flames soaring into the sky could be seen from miles away.

It was getting late at this time. Li Weijian caught a glimpse of the fire and immediately reined in his horse and stopped. Wu Zhong was sent to investigate on Pegasus, and after a while he came back and said, "Sir, it's said that the Tiequan Temple was flooded and people were burned to death."

Next to him, Wu Haining shook off the snowflakes on his head and said: "Master, the snow is really heavy and I can't see the road clearly. Even if I rush to the capital, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed. I thought it would be better to find a place to spend the night. , we will return to the capital early tomorrow morning when the snow has stopped."

Li Weijian said: "That's what I thought, but the iron threshold temple is flooded, so I'm afraid I can't borrow it." There is Shuiyue Temple nearby, but you have to go past the iron threshold temple and follow the path out again. A few miles away, if I had known this, I would have gone to Xiangshan Villa to stay for a night.

At this time, Wu Haining said: "Sir, not far ahead is Bali Village. Not only are there farmers, but there is also a Monument where you can stay."

Li Weijian nodded immediately: "Okay, let's talk to the brothers and we will rest when we arrive at Balizhuang."

Wu Haining shouted, and more than a dozen escorting imperial guards and twenty guards sent by Buktu responded one after another. A group of more than forty riders marched for another three miles in the wind and snow before arriving at Balizhuang.

It just so happened that the snowstorm not only prevented Li Weijian, but also prevented two prefects from Shaanxi from returning to Beijing to report on their duties. Balizhuang was not big to begin with, and it was not considered a post station, so it took Li Weijian and others a lot of effort to free up some yards.

The imperial guards and guards under him can make do, but how could Li Weijian, a dignified second-class uncle, be willing to crowd into a mud house with a bunch of rough guys? So he turned around to look for Muni Courtyard and negotiated with the abbot. When the abbot heard that it was the second-class uncle Li Weijian who came, he immediately showed his hospitality and hurriedly vacated a small courtyard.

Li Weijian only took Wu Haining and Wu Zhong to the small courtyard. The abbot hurriedly brought hot water and vegetarian meals. Li Weijian used them and ordered Wu Haining to donate 500 kilograms of sesame oil.

The abbot's flattery was beyond words. Li Weijian didn't want to let his personal feelings go to waste. Instead of doing this, he might as well give up more money.

As soon as Wu Haining stepped forward, Wu Zhong took the foot-washing water and went out to pour it. It was already dark, and Wu Zhong vaguely glimpsed a head protruding from the wall. He was born in a martial arts training family, and after fighting with Li Weijian, he finally realized that no matter how superb his martial arts skills were, they were of little use on the battlefield.

Apart from anything else, the overwhelming east wind rockets coming at them would make it impossible even for gods to escape!

But later, he and the soldiers outside the pass quelled the rebellion of various ministries. Wu Zhong showed off his majesty and was invincible wherever he went with his big gun, which made Buktu and others jealous. At this moment, Wu Zhong had just withdrawn from the battlefield. The vigilance he had cultivated on the battlefield had not yet let go. Because of his conditioned reflex, he shouted: "Who?"

He raised his hand and poured a basin of foot-washing water over.

slam-la-

"Hey!" A female voice exclaimed, her head dropped, followed by a pop.

Wu Zhong was dumbfounded, wondering if he had scared the little nun next door?

Just as he was about to turn around, a man suddenly walked out from the next door. He saw the situation in the courtyard and asked a few questions. When he reached the wall, he said angrily: "You are such an unreasonable person, why do you splash water on people?"

Wu Zhong is smart in actions and slow in speech. How can he be the opponent of that woman? After a few sentences, he lost his words and just let the woman scold him.

Li Weijian heard the noise in the room, put on his shoes and came out to observe. He heard that the woman's voice sounded familiar, and he looked around through the light from the window, and vaguely recognized that she was indeed an acquaintance.

Because Li Weijian smiled and said: "Master Miaoyu, please forgive me, my entourage has just been withdrawn from the battlefield, and he has a sensitive mind. I'm afraid I just regarded Master's maid as a thief. It's our fault after all, Miaoyu Master, how much money do you have to pay for soups, medicines, clothes?"

His words were extremely despicable. He called him Master Tai and mentioned a maid. He clearly meant that the Miaoyu Monk was neither a monk nor a secular person. How could a serious bhikshuni be accompanied by a maid to serve him?

Miaoyu was so angry that her pretty face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice: "Everyone knows that Mr. Li has a lot of money, but I don't want Mr. Li's money. I just ask you to keep your eyes open in the future, so as not to pour dirty water on 'good people'" On the body."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "It's not like the good or bad is written on the face. 'It's hard to paint the bones of a tiger but it's hard to paint a tiger's skin, and it's hard to know a person's face but not his heart'. Could it be that Master Tai can tell who is a good person and a bad person at a glance?"

Miaoyu snorted coldly, grabbed the maid and walked back. When he came to the door of the room, he couldn't help but stop and turn around and said: "It's hard for me to distinguish between others, but Mr. Li is definitely not a good person!"

After that, he entered the house and slammed the door.

Wu Zhong said from the side: "Sir, I know this person? How can you say that I am not a good person? I clearly..."

Li Weijian immediately stopped talking and said, "Stop talking, I don't want to be a good person. How tiring is it to be a good person?"

"But--"

Li Weijian lectured: "Who said that a good official must be a good person?"

Wu Zhong suddenly became speechless and couldn't turn his head around. In his heart, since he was a good official, he was naturally a good person.

When he came to his senses, Li Weijian had already returned to the house. Wu Zhong shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to think about it if he couldn't understand it. Now he is living with the master and enjoying the hot food and drinking hot food. It is no worse than staying in the palace. He can't spend any money every month. This is even better than what the master said, because the master loves it. Whatever happens, he doesn't bother to care about it.

Li Weijian drove for twenty days straight, and his body was very tired. He immediately took off his clothes and covered himself with blankets. He had no feelings for the Buddha Yuan Jade in his heart, so he naturally didn't care about the verbal exchange just now, because he fell asleep in a short while. Little did he know that Miaoyu had been worried for a long time. Although she was a noble person, she also knew that the powerful could not be offended easily because of family affairs.

None of the Jinling weaving families dared to offend him and had no choice but to send him to the temple, let alone a popular young man like Li Weijian.

I was on tenterhooks for a long time. One moment I dreamed that Li Weijian's gangsters broke in and kidnapped him; the next moment I dreamed that he was driven out of this place, and from then on he was wandering around with no fixed abode.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes, the sun was already high in the sky. Miaoyu hurriedly looked for the maid to check, but was told that Uncle Li had left early in the morning and didn't take what happened last night to heart at all.

Miaoyu breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then felt extremely unhappy. For her, the greatest humiliation in the world is ignorance. She has always been sought after by others, and the Jinling Zhen family has gone to great lengths for her. How has she ever been ignored like this?

The more Miaoyu thought about it, the angrier she became, but this time she managed to remember Li Weijian, and she secretly resented him for the rest of the day, so she didn't mention it.

............................................................

Since Balizhuang has this name, it is naturally only eight miles away from the capital. Li Weijian set out early in the morning. The heavy snow had stopped and the clouds had dispersed. He was able to distinguish the road while walking slowly.

By the time we got closer to the capital, it was already around Chenshi. As a rule, when a general returns in triumph, if he wins a great victory, the emperor will come out of the city to greet him in person, take off his shirt, and then go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices. If the general wins a battle, he will also send cabinet ministers and officials from the Ministry of Rites to greet him from a distance.

However, although Li Weijian won the battle and was awarded the title of second-class uncle, he only had the title of counselor and could not be regarded as a general. Naturally, no one came out to greet him.

This suited Li Weijian's wishes perfectly. He had been away from home for a year, and now he was almost ready to return. How could he bother to bother with the officials of the Ministry of Rites? Because Wu Haining was sent to take the documents and report to the inner government, he hurried back to his home.

As a result, just after crossing Ma Shiqiao, they bumped into Wu Haiping and others.

Wu Haiping was overjoyed when he saw that his brother and his master were safe and sound, with all their hair and tail intact. He came up and said: "Welcome to the master to return home... I don't know, but since I got the letter last month, my aunt has calculated the time and sent me to wait outside the city every day these days. I can't come back until noon." , I didn’t expect it to be too early, but this is a small sin.”

Li Weijian laughed loudly and said: "What's wrong with you? Haiping, I heard that you are blessed with a son. I'm so happy and congratulated."

Wu Haiping suddenly smiled so hard that his back teeth showed, and he bowed his head repeatedly: "Thank you for your blessing."

Since Wu Haiping got married to Qianxue, there has been no news. The young couple had been arguing about this matter for a long time. Qian Xue even wiped her tears behind her back, saying that she was not satisfied and even considered giving Wu Haiping a concubine.

Fortunately, I got pregnant in the first month, and at the end of August, I got a big fat boy. The clouds all over the sky have just dispersed.

Without further ado, a group of servants shouted and honked gongs to clear the way, and more than fifty people gathered around Li Weijian to go to Li Mansion. That's right, Li Weijian was granted the title of second-class uncle, and his family's house was no longer a mansion, but a mansion.

After arriving in front of his house for a while, Li Weijian saw two more stone lions in front of the door. The red lacquer door had been repainted, and the three-bay facade had also been enlarged.

The gate caught a glimpse of Li Weijian and his entourage from a distance, and immediately sent someone to report inside. Li Weijian got off his horse, walked vigorously, passed through the gate and entered, and saw all the warblers and swallows in front of the Yi Gate.

When they met Li Weijian, Fu Qiufang took the lead and bowed to him Yingying.

"I am waiting to welcome you back to your home!"

Li Weijian laughed loudly, stepped forward to pick up Fu Qiufang, looked at each of them one by one, and said with a smile: "My family, let's go inside and talk."

Fu Qiufang couldn't help but feel her heart pounding as she smelled the familiar scent. After so many years, my father seemed to have grown up again. After going through battles on the battlefield, he truly became a man who stood upright.

Second-class uncle! That day, all his brother's thoughts were just planning to remarry Yuan Wai Lang. How lucky was he to be able to find his beloved by chance?

The manly scent on his face was intoxicating. Fu Qiufang immediately lowered her eyebrows and allowed Li Weijian to grab her with one hand, pull this one with the other, pinch that, and strode inside.
