Chapter 499: Coming Home

Early the next morning, the team set off south, and Erhei and his newlywed wife Yan'er were among them...... Yesterday, Long Yao was gagged and tied to worship in the church, and she was untied after being sent to the cave room. But until dawn, there was not the slightest movement in the cave room, which disappointed Wang Xian and the others, who braved the cold to listen to the roots of the wall outside.

However, when the newcomer said goodbye to Gao Tang in the morning, Long Yao had calmed down a lot, hugged his mother and cried, and held his father's hand, silently shedding tears for a long time...... When she saw Zhu Meigui again, she called expressionlessly: "Brother, you take care of your father." ”

"Sister, don't worry." Zhu Meigui said with a smile: "The money left by my brother-in-law is enough to invite several old mothers." The brother-in-law waited for a little more relaxation, and then sent a car to pick up his father and mother to Beijing to recuperate. ”

Long Yao didn't speak again, kowtowed to her father and mother, and got on the horse led by Erhei. Zhu Meigui sent them all the way out of the city before 'saying goodbye'. When Wang Xian and the others walked away, Zhu Meigui knelt on the ground with weak legs, pounded his chest hard, and clubbed the ground with his head, and there was a howl like an injured beast in his throat......

"Wang Xian Wang Xian, what a Wang Xian! The hatred of taking his wife, the hatred of killing himself! You're really like a feathered phoenix that's not as good as a chicken! Zhu Meigui roared bloody: "The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, one day, I will pay it back tenfold!" ”

Although his identity as the prince of the world has been abolished, he is still the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu, and he has suffered such a great shame, how can he not hate Wang Xian in his heart? It's just that he judged the situation and knew that he couldn't turn his face with this guy...... His father and son are now fugitives, and there is only one way to die if they offend Wang Xian, and they will have to count on the prince to restore Chongzuo in the future, a villain like Wang Xian must not be offended!

Even if Wang Xian can't help much, he can easily mess them up. In three or four years, anything can happen, and it is the right thing to do......

Zhu Meigui finished venting, and no longer returned to the city, first, he had no face to see Long Changshi again, and secondly, Wang Xian's toss, he was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he went straight to the east, and his father Zhu Jixi was hiding in the palace of the king of Kaifeng Zhou......

When Zhu Meigui left, a few people turned out of the bushes on the side of the road, and it was Wang Xian and Xianyun and others who left first.

Xianyun asked Wang Xian with some unhappiness: "Why don't you let me kill him?" ”

"You think I don't want to kill him?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said, "But the last time I killed that stand-in, the little black man was not very happy, if I use this real thing again this time...... Rub, the Zhu family is a dragon species, no matter what, we ordinary people can't touch it! ”

"What are you afraid of, I'll make sure it's clean." Xianyun hugged the sword in his arms and said, "Let him die without proof." ”

"But as soon as we left on the front foot, he hung on the back foot, can Taisun not doubt me? It's worse than killing him with open fire. Wang Xianda shook his head and said, "Okay, just treat him as a fart and let him go." ”

"It's always a concern." Wu Wei was also worried.

"I'm afraid of a ball." Wang Xian rolled his eyes and said, "As the saying goes, a phoenix with lost hair is not as good as a chicken. As the saying goes, kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife......"

"......" Wu Wei suddenly understood, nodded and said: "I know what to do, how do you look at the Dongting water bandits?" ”

"Forget it, let's talk about it in two years," Wang Xian shook his head and sighed: "Taisun asked me to protect their safety, and I really found the right person." ”

"My lord, you really don't need to offend him......" Erhei and Long Yao were not present, and Wu Wei had nothing to scruple about: "There are so many women, and Erhei is not going to become a monk without Miss Long, so if you can't offend Zhu Meigui for him, it will be good for the prince and grandson to spread to the ears of the prince and grandson in the future." ”

"It's nothing to pass on to the crown prince and grandson, the old monk said let me keep my true colors...... I think about it, my true colors are nothing more than the little gangster on the street of Fuyang, the little official in the county government, ruthless and righteous, and nothing else. Wang Xian said slowly: "I think the old monk meant, is to let me do it from my heart, Erhei is closer than my own brother, I see that he abuses himself for a woman, so he feels uncomfortable, so I can only help him get it." ”

"But, isn't this method too simple and crude?" Wu Wei smiled bitterly.

"Hey, I'm in a hurry." Wang Xian turned over and said: "I still rushed back to Beijing to watch the lantern with the lady, so I had to cut through the mess quickly." ”

"You messy ......" Wu Wei sighed helplessly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "It's wonderful." made Long Yao completely disappointed in Zhu Meigui and saved her face. It is estimated that after a while, she will reconcile with Erhei. ”

"Of course, if she really doesn't want to marry Erhei, she will bite her tongue and kill herself." Wang Xian smiled coldly and said, "It's okay so far, there will be in the future!" "I secretly muttered in my heart, 'Slut is hypocritical......

"It's just, is this dragon girl a good match for Erhei?" Wu Wei asked worriedly.

"Whether the grapes are sweet or sour, who knows before tasting them?" Wang Xian spread his hands irresponsibly and said: "He wants to eat, I picked it for him, as for whether it is sweet or sour, I don't care, it's as simple as that." But don't worry too much, no matter how scheming this woman is, becoming close to her husband is also a glory and a loss, she is not the kind of woman who doesn't know what to do. Saying that, he beat the horse and said, "Okay, don't worry about salty radishes, let's go!" ”

"It's just, what are you talking about?" Xianyun glanced at Wu Wei, and also beat his horse and said, "You are still a single person." ”

"I, I'm ......" Wu Wei frustrated his horse and caught up with Wang Xiandao: "Aren't you a bachelor?" ”

"My grandfather has already found a woman for me," Xianyun glanced at him and said proudly: "Just wait for the completion of the Xuanwu Palace, and the marriage will be held for me." ”

"I haven't heard you say it......" Wu Wei said.

"You never asked." Xianyun Road.

"Okay......" Wu Wei shut up, he forgot an iron law...... If you talk to Xianyun for more than three sentences, you will inevitably be suffocated to internal injuries......

Then the team quickly went south, stayed overnight along the way, changed horses for eighty miles, and finally rushed back to the capital on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. At this time, the capital is still a jubilant festive atmosphere. In other dynasties, the New Year may be over as soon as the fifteenth day is out, but in the Ming Dynasty, from the eighth day of the first month to the seventeenth night of the first month, it is the Shangyuan Lantern Carnival that lasts for ten days!

It is said that the ancient officials were all statutory holidays, the Han Dynasty was a five-day holiday, the Sui and Tang dynasties were changed to a ten-day holiday, and every New Year, the winter solstice will rest for seven more days, in addition, the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, and the emperor's birthday, the birthday of the Buddha, the birthday of Lao Tzu, and the birthday of Confucius are also holidays. In the Song Dynasty, there were still dozens of days of vacation in a year, and in the Yuan Dynasty, there were only ten days left, and in this Dynasty, Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, a model worker through the ages, believed that people should devote their limited lives to unlimited causes...... What business? Of course, it is the eternal emperor of his old Zhu family. Therefore, rest is a waste of life, which in turn affects his achievement of the imperial industry, so Zhu Yuanzhang reduced the statutory holiday to an unprecedented level - three days!

These three days are the New Year, the winter solstice, and the emperor's birthday. In addition, all of them have to go to work, and they are not allowed to be absent from work. Officials are also people, go to work all day and don't let them rest, no one can stand it, and when Zhu Di became the emperor, he finally showed great mercy and increased the holiday for officials. In order to highlight the prosperity and health of the world, singing and dancing, and ordered the eighth to seventeenth day of the first month of the first month as the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the monarchs and ministers and the people enjoyed together.

When Wang Xian and the others returned to Beijing, it was the last day of the Shangyuan Carnival, and it was also the craziest day...... Although it was still daytime, they felt a strong festive atmosphere, and saw that on both sides of the avenue, all kinds of dragon lanterns, deer lanterns, moon lanterns, grape lanterns, and gardenia lanterns were hung...... Although it is not lit, it is already dazzling. Under the lamp, there are people who revel during the day, stepping on stilts, dancing lions, rowing boats, playing tricks, and setting off firecrackers...... Gongs and drums are noisy, and the city is full of joy!

Infected by the festive atmosphere, although everyone has been running long distances for many days, one by one they are very excited, Wang Xianyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's all gone, come back to report after the New Year." Everyone cheered, and those whose homes were in the capital dispersed in a hurry, and those whose families were not in the capital also took over to play, leaving only Zhou Yong, Xianyun, and Wu Wei, escorting Wang Xian back to the house.

Originally, it was said that the Qin sent to return to Beijing to hand over the decree, but now it is a statutory holiday, not only does the yamen not work, but even the emperor rests, so he has to wait a few days before entering the palace...... said that if it weren't for the rest of the past few days, he wouldn't have rushed to the capital to rush to the capital...... Don't you just want to spend time with your daughter-in-law......

As soon as the doorman saw Wang Xian coming back on horseback, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he confirmed that he was not dazzled, he hurriedly opened the main door, ran in and shouted: "Second young grandmother, second young grandmother, the big official is back!" Now the lord of the house is Wang Xingye, so he should naturally be called Wang Xian's second young master, but Wang Xian is the pillar of this family, and it is not appropriate for the subordinates to call him the young master, so he is called a 'big official'.

When Wang Xian heard this title, he felt a little weird, grandma's, Lao Tzu is a pure and good person, how can he have a title with Ximenqing. He really has no self-knowledge, except that he is not as greedy for flowers as Ximenqing, he is abducted and deceived, which is no worse than Ximen's officials......

Wang Xian entered the sedan hall, and as soon as he threw the big dan to the family, and asked the maid to pat the dust on his body with a duster, he saw a green shadow hurriedly coming, which one is it not Lin Qing'er? The second young grandmother, who has always been dignified, never imagined that her husband would return at this time, and was very surprised, regardless of the young grandmother's reserve, ran out like a little girl, and when she saw that it was really the person who was looking forward to it, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and the tired bird threw herself into his arms like a forest, turning thousands of lovesickness into a murmur:

"Official, I'm not dreaming!"
