Chapter 43 Entering the city
As the son of the Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of the world's money and grain, Pan Yu is a hot spot even in the upper circle of Jinling. He naturally listened to flattery too much, and never suffered such humiliation from others.
"Come on! Give me a stinky brat's mouth!" Just as Pan Yu greeted his subordinates, he heard a voice that he absolutely unexpectedly did.
"Oh, where did I think I came from the wild dog? It turned out to be the beloved son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Come on, let me see if I have changed in the past six months?" Zhao Ling'er came from behind the crowd and came to Qingyan's side.
"Fu, Princess Fu Yao!"
Pan Yu was already dumbfounded at this moment, thinking that in the six months since Princess Fuyao left Beijing, the young men of all sizes of Jinling City finally lived a few good days. Even His Highness Pei Prince smiled a lot more than before, but he didn't expect that he would actually catch up with this little devil today.
Zhao Ling'er suddenly had a pretty face, "Pan Yu, you are so brave! As far as I know, you are still not an official, and now you see that I am not off the horse and salute. What should I be guilty of?"
This delicate shout woke Pan Yu up, and then he quickly turned over and dismounted and made a deep-rooted series.
Before Pan Yu could apologize, Zhao Linger's voice came again, "Everyone in Jinling knows that this princess is open-minded, so she doesn't care about you, but you actually want to take care of the princess's mouth. Tell me what to do with it."
Pan Yu raised his head and asked in confusion: "I dare to ask the princess, what does this brother mean..."
!!!
Looking at Zhao Linger's playful smile, Pan Yu's pupils contracted sharply.
The world is vast, with three kingdoms in the north and south. Although many geniuses have appeared in the past few decades, only one person may have made his name spread throughout the earth for a long time, and King Zhao Xuance side by side!
But since he disappeared with his princess and his legitimate son that year, these three people have never appeared in front of the world. I thought they had died long ago, but Pan Yu did not expect that the person in front of him was the legitimate son of the king who was shoulder to shoulder!
"What, you didn't hear what this princess said?"
He quickly wiped a cold sweat with his trembling hands, and Pan Yu bowed again, "I dare not! I dare not! I will report to His Highness Pei first." After that, regardless of whether Zhao Ling'er agreed or not, he quickly turned over and turned back.
Although Qingyan is not an official, he is Zhao Xuance's son after all. If he made a big mistake today, I think the old subordinates who stood shoulder to shoulder would never let him go.
Thinking of this, Pan Yu's slap in the horse was a little faster.
At this moment, the people who were a little closer to hear the conversation between the two, and they were a little less ageless, and some older people were shocked on the spot by Zhao Linger's words "brother".
Besides, Huang Quan, who was appointed as the General of the General of the Little Staff, happened to inspect Chaoyang Gate this day. Before his butt was warm, he was shocked by the riots under the city gate. When he walked to the city gate, he and a marquis beside him also heard Zhao Ling'er's words.
The Jung Jun asked in disbelief: "Master, Master, I heard it right just now, right? Why don't you pinch me?" Before the Jung Jung Jun finished speaking, Huang Quan kicked him to the ground.
Huang Quan suppressed the waves in his heart and cursed: "Where are so many nonsense? Let's take a look before talking." After that, he walked to a corner with the Junmao.
At this time, Qingyan was a little helpless, "Ling'er, although they will know sooner or later, there is no need to say it out before even entering the city gate."
"This is your negligence, brother. Although the other party is King Pei, if you give up this path as the father and son today, it will definitely make many people feel disappointed." Zhao Ling'er leaned beside Qingyan and explained in a low voice.
Qingyan knew that the reason was reasonable, so he looked at the place where King Pei. At this time, Pan Yu had returned to the team of cavalry. Although he couldn't see clearly, he also vaguely saw Pan Yu explaining something beside him. Then, the pair of cavalry turned their horses and gradually disappeared from sight.
"I didn't expect that Prince Pei, who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, would give in like this. It's really strange." Zhao Ling'er muttered in a low voice.
Seeing that trouble was far away from him, Qingyan nodded to Bai Yi and signaled to enter the city.
When the group walked across the suspension bridge, Qingyan saw someone blocking the way and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that he hadn't entered the city yet, but the troubles were one after another.
The person who blocked the way was Huang Quan. After bowing to Bai Yi, he did not speak, but stared at Bai Yi's face with his eyes.
Bai Yi saw that his friends who had been like this for many years, and knew his thoughts, and he was slightly slight.
Huang Quan's tiger body, who had seen Bai Yi's movements, shook, and then turned around and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the orders!"
Although the thirty soldiers of Xuanwu Camp under the city gate were unclear, they also quickly lined up in front of Huangquan to wait for the order.
"Everyone is separated from both sides of the city gate and welcomes the prince to return to the capital side by side!"
A sound of armor friction sounded quickly, and the soldiers quickly divided into two rows in front of the city gate and stood in a row. Huang Quan then came to the city gate, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand, and staring at Qingyan.
Although Bai Yi knew that Huang Quan's behavior might be criticized, he did not stop him. "Your Highness, it's getting late, so let's not let the lady wait in a hurry."
Qingyan nodded, then slapped his horse forward, and when he came to Huangquan, he clasped his fists and smiled.
Looking at the group of people who were gradually moving away, the Jung-jun came to Huangquan again, and his tone was very excited, "Sir, it's almost twenty years, and I finally found the royal palace."
"Nineteen years, a full nineteen years."
The older people around were also excited to look at the young back, and forgot to enter the city for a moment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When he truly saw the prosperity of Jinling City, Qingyan had already thrown everything in front of the city gate out of the sky.
Under the horse, there are eight carriages to run side by side, the shops lined up by the street, pavilions and towers with carved beams and painted buildings, and the gorgeous scenery on the Qinhuai River. These are all things that Fan Ning Cheng cannot compare with.
Seeing Qingyan looking around like a naughty boy, Zhao Ling'er and Bai Yi looked at each other and smiled without disturbing each other, allowing them to appreciate the prosperity of Jinling.
In addition to urgent reports, Jinling City explicitly prohibited the horse from riding, so Qingyan and his group could only walk slowly, which also gave Qingyan a good opportunity to carefully appreciate it.
After half an hour of travel, Qingyan saw that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around him, but the walls of the mansions in the houses were getting higher and higher, so he realized that he should be about to get home.
Turning into a slightly wide alley, Bai Yi led a group of people to stop in front of a mansion. At this time, the mansion opened the ritual door, and the two guards in front of the door stood straight like pine trees.
When Qingyan got off the horse and looked at the mansion, she saw that the yard behind the door was full of people. At present, she was an old woman with a hunchbacked figure and a bright head. Although she was old, her eyes were not weak at all. She let go of the hand of the maid beside her and walked over slowly.
"Grandma, why did you come out in person?" Zhao Ling'er was the first to step into the mansion and helped the old man up.
When Qingyan heard Zhao Linger's name to the old man, she was sure that she was one of the few relatives left in the world. She then had a plastic surgery and crossed the high threshold.
After reaching the front of the grandmother three steps, Qingyan solemnly knelt down on the ground: "The unworthy descendant Qingyan, pay tribute to his grandmother."
The lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and went up to help Qingyan up, "Good grandson, you have suffered all these years."
Holding the old lady's hands, Qingyan was also extremely moved, "Grandmother, don't you think my grandson is living well? In fact, it's not hard at all. He has no worries about food and clothing over the years. There is also an independent small courtyard in Fanning, and his life is so comfortable and tight."
When the grandmother heard this joking statement, she knew that Qingyan was afraid of being sad, and she felt even more relieved and looked kind: "The grandson is right, living is the greatest gift to her grandmother."
"Grandma, Ling'er knows that you are very happy now, but we all have been running a lot of roads and are very tired. Why don't we sit down and chat?" Zhao Ling'er supported the grandmother's arm and blinked at Qingyan.
After everyone sat down in the main hall, Bai Yi stood outside the door and said, "Madam, I am lucky to be unfair to my fate. Since the prince has returned home safely, I will retire."
"Okay, okay, Bai Yi, it's worthless that you and Ce'er are in the same fraternity. I know that you have other things to deal with, and I will reward you heavily in the future."
Bai Yi bowed his hand and slowly retreated.
After the maids served the tea, the lady said sadly: "Good grandson, if your parents were here at the moment, how great would it be, alas..."
Because she was afraid that the lady would be too sad, Qingyan quickly continued, "Grandma, Qingyan and Ling'er will find them one day, and I hope grandma will take care of her health."
Unexpectedly, the lady smiled and asked, "Good grandson, since you care about your old body, how could you be so cruel to not return to Jinling half a year ago?" Then she looked at Zhao Ling'er, "And you, girl, after you know that your brother was in Taohua Valley, she left the prince's house and left. Can you brother and sister know how I survived the grandmother in the past six months?"
Without waiting for Qingyan to explain, Zhao Ling'er had already come behind the lady and pinched her shoulders and said softly: "Good grandmother, didn't Ling'er want to see her brother earlier? Besides, you are in good health. Half a year is nothing. Anyway, my grandmother will definitely live a hundred years. Maybe she will be able to hold her great-grandson in a few years. You said yes?"
The lady smiled and shook her head, obviously spoiling Zhao Ling'er.
"Grandmother, Qingyan delayed his return to Jinling for half a year, so that he wanted to accompany his grandfather and his old man. Because when he returned to Jinling, he would not know when he would go to visit his grandfather and uncle again. I hope grandmother, don't blame him."
The atmosphere was originally a joyful atmosphere, but when Qingyan mentioned Qin Mu, the grandmother changed the subject, "Son, you want to be filial to this kind of heart, grandmother, I don't know that these two people from the Qin family have not had a good face to us in the past few years since your parents disappeared, just like they lost their daughter and my Zhao family did not lose their son."
Then he sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that the Qin surnamed Qin found you, Lao Shi would have stepped on him and robbed people from Peach Blossom Valley, how could he have to let him talk to Bai Yi? Haha, as long as the Qin surnamed Qin surnamed no one is not annoying. Of course, your mother Xijun and grandmother were very satisfied and could be a perfect daughter-in-law."
The grandmother's words made Qingyan smile awkwardly, thinking that the Qin and Zhao families really disliked each other over the years. They thought that what their uncle said was cruel enough, but they didn't expect that their grandmother was even crueler than him.
"Although I don't like him, I can also know the intentions of the two of them. I have learned a lot in the past six months." The lady has returned to her kind appearance.
Seeing that the grandmother changed the subject, Qingyan quickly continued, "Yes, that's right, grandmother, what you said is not bad. Qingyan has been practicing hard every day in the past six months, and has learned one move and half of his grandfather's move."
"No one in Qin Mu's body can make his old body proud, but this skill of playing swords is reasonable."
Playing with swords?
Qingyan thought to himself that if his grandfather heard this sentence, it would be considered merciful if he didn't lift the roof.
Just when the Grandma asked about Qingyan’s experience over the years, an unexpected and reasonable voice came over.
Bai Yi appeared quietly in front of the door.
