(Thanks to onlysgc for the tip, thank you!) ）

The woman who got off the carriage was dressed plainly and elegantly, but she had a graceful and noble temperament. Although her hair is full of silver threads, her face is fair and ruddy, and it seems that she is only about forty, especially when the silver threads match her plain and elegant clothes and her graceful temperament, which complements each other even better. With her getting off the carriage, there was also a twenty-eight year old, with a gorgeous dress, like a rose under the moon, beautiful but with thorns.

After the woman got out of the carriage, she looked at Li Jing with interest, who didn't know how to speak, and chuckled: "Are you the Li family Sanlang, Cui'e's child?" ”

The tall girl on the side replied: "That's right, this is Li Jing Li Jiyu, who has just been crowned this year, previously joined the Dengzhou United Army, and later became Cui Yunqing of the Cui family in Qingzhou and Guanzhong Yujia Yu Xuan as protégés, at first the head and general of the Dengzhou Unity Army, and now he has been transferred to the general of Shamen Town. ‘

"It looks like a jade, full of energy, and really a talent." The graceful lady nodded appreciatively at Li Jing.

Li Jing stood aside, but he was a little confused. These people rode in a luxurious carriage, surrounded by Kong Wu's guards, and they were all richly dressed and had extraordinary temperaments, and at a glance, they knew that Lu Dao was not the former relatives and friends of the Li family. And listening to them explain their situation clearly before and after as soon as they spoke, they must have come prepared. But the word Cui'e that the noble lady said made Li Jing a little confused. The word Cui'e is the name of Li Jing's mother, Han. This name is rarely known, and the people of Wang Li Village usually call it Li Han, or Xiucai Niang San Lang Niang, etc., but no one will ever be called Cui'e. Li Jing only learned her mother's name by chance, but how did this noble lady know the Tao now?

After turning around in his heart, Li Jing stepped forward with some hesitation and bowed, "Dare to ask the old lady if she is a member of the Han family?" The lady was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled. didn't answer, just waved his hand: "I haven't met again for more than 30 years, I can't wait to see you again, Li Sanlang, lead the way." ”

Li Jing didn't care about asking at this time, so he turned around and led the way, and by the way, he also invited the young man on the other side to enter the village together. Although the noble lady did not say her identity, Li Jing had secretly guessed that this noble lady was likely to be her mother's relatives based on the information revealed in her words. Piecing together the age and the identity of the other party, Li Jing has already guessed that this noble lady is likely to be the little lady of the Han family who accompanied her when her mother was still in the Han family.

The group quickly entered the village, looking at the high stage set up in the village, the long flowing water banquet, and many officials and squires dressed in green and green, and many collars came to celebrate Li's mother's birthday, and the noble lady's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

At this time, Li Jing's mother had just been taken out of the house by Lin Wei and other women and sons-in-law, and sat in the middle of the temporarily erected shed, and began to prepare to accept everyone's birthday greetings. The noble lady was still more than ten steps away, and she had already seen Mother Li.

"Cui'e! After 30 years, you are also full of children, blessed and beautiful. The lady's words were so full of anger that they suddenly shocked the whole audience like thunder. Mother Li, who was sitting in peace, heard someone call her name, so she immediately stood up in a panic and looked up carefully. But I saw my son Li Jing with a few gorgeously dressed people there, one of them was full of silver threads, and his face was vaguely familiar.

"Yes, yes" Han's mouth kept moving, but he couldn't say a complete word.

The noble lady approached, tears were already in her eyes, and she grabbed Li Jing's mother's hand and said, "Cui'e, I am Cuiying, I have been absent for more than 30 years, I didn't expect to see you again in this life." ”

Li Jing's mother also took Han Cuiying's hand and cried: "Seventh sister, it's really you." ”

It turned out that this noble lady was really Han Qiniang, the daughter of the head of the Han family, named Cuiying, who accompanied Li Jing's mother to study with her when she was not married. At the beginning, Han's father died in Li Jing's grandfather for more than ten years, and the Li family moved from Qingzhou to Wendeng for more than ten years, but they have not forgotten the children and daughters they had made in their early years. After her daughter reached the age of marriage, she took the initiative to find Wendeng Li's family, and then married her daughter to Wendeng. Because the Li family was already in the middle of the road at that time, the family did not have much wealth, so they were in a hurry to get married. Han didn't come before he left to say goodbye to Han Qiniang, and after less than half a year, Qiniang also married to the Lanling Xiao family.

The Xiao family, like the Han family, belonged to the top high families of the late Tang Dynasty, although they could not be compared with the top high families such as the five surnames of Shandong and the four surnames of Guanzhong, but they were also called the seventh highest family of scholars in the late Tang Dynasty, and their reputation was higher than that of the Han family. In the Tang Dynasty, there were 10 people who worshipped the Xiao family, and Han Qiniang married Xiao Yue, and there were eight people before and after, and the people of the time called "Eight Leaves Chuanfang".

After more than 30 years, Han married the Xiao family, and later moved to Yangzhou with her husband. At the beginning, she also wrote back to the Xiao family to ask about Li Jing's mother's contact, but Han's father moved out of Qingzhou to work as an official in other places shortly after his daughter married out, and soon after he died in a foreign country, the Han family's family did not know the whereabouts of Li Jing's mother.

The two long-lost sisters were crying, and it took a long time for their emotions to settle down. Han Qiniang said: "After more than 30 years, I didn't expect to meet again." Then she said that she lost her husband seven years ago, and she had three sons and three daughters, and the other children had already started a family, but the twenty-eighth daughter named Yulou was still by her side. Because she has lived in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, Han Qiniang misses her hometown family a little, and she took the servants of Yulou to the north along the canal by boat three months ago. At home in Qingzhou, I overheard someone say that the newly appointed Jiedu Marching Sima Cui Yunqing had a protégé who was accepted in Dengzhou, and he was actually the son of a side branch who married out of the Han family in the early years. After some inquiry, she confirmed that this woman from the side branch of the Han family was a good sister in her boudoir when she was not married.

Friends and neighbors who sat in the room to worship their birthdays also sighed when they listened. Li Jing's mother asked Li Jing to come over and kowtow to Han Qiniang. Han Qiniang was kind, and called her daughter Xiao Yulou to meet Li Jing, so that the two of them were called cousins. Then he pulled the young noble son who had never spoken: "Eighth sister, San Lang, this is the youngest son of my eldest brother, the seventh in the family, Mingzhi, the word Zixuan, everyone can call him Qilang." Han Qiniang pulled Han Zhi and asked him to salute Li Jing, and asked him to call Li Jing his cousin. That Han Zhi and Li Jing met according to the courtesy, and they were very polite. It's just that in this politeness, Li Jing looked at the distance that was a little distant.

Although Zhilu Dao's identity as Han Zhi is not small, he is the descendant of the head of the Han family in Qingzhou, but the other party is a little cold, and he doesn't want to have a hot face but a cold butt, so he only said a few words to him that are not salty or light. However, the tall cousin Xiao Yulou is very familiar, and took the initiative to post it and chatted with Li Jing for a long time, and then a pair of eyes immediately saw Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang and Wang Yueying, although there are many guests today, but there are not many female guests, most of them are Wang Li Village's mother-in-law, doing chores on the side, only Wang Yueying accompanied Li Huier and Yu Youniang, the three of them are inevitably a little outstanding in terms of clothing and temperament, Xiao Yulou immediately ran to take the initiative to talk.

Li Jing's mother and Han Qiniang reunited after a long absence, and the two had thousands of words to say, but as soon as Xiao Yulou left, only Li Jing and Han Zhi were left, and now they were a little embarrassed. Li Jing was trying to find a few words about the scene, and then find someone to deal with, but Han Zhi, who was listening, suddenly spoke: "Brother Ji Yu was promoted to the general of Shamen Town, congratulations." The old lady is also from my Qingzhou Han family, and Brother Ji Yu is also a relative of the Han family. Originally, the clan had never known about the news of my aunt, but this time I accidentally learned that Brother Ji Yu's mother was also my Qingzhou Han family at Cui Sima's banquet a few days ago, and then my father sent many people to Dengzhou to inquire about it, and then confirmed the matter. ”

Listening to these explanations, Li Jing didn't care too much. Regardless of whether the Han family has deliberately not contacted the Li family over the years, or whether they have really lost contact, it is a thing of the past anyway. Han Zhi said again: "Originally, my father was going to come, but there were a lot of miscellaneous items in the clan, and my aunt came, so my father asked my younger brother to do it on my behalf." My aunt has a big birthday, my cousin is promoted, and my father is coming to the door, my father asked me to bring a little care, and I hope that my cousin and aunt will accept it, which can be regarded as making up for the failure to take care of the family over the years. As he spoke, Han Zhi handed over a gift slip. Li Jing took it and unfolded it, but it was gold, silver, beads, and jade jewelry, as well as silk and satin, adding up to ten carts. This gift list is very heavy, and Li Jing estimated that there were thousands of them. If the Han family gave such a valuable gift just because Li's mother was a member of the Han family, Li Jing would not believe it, most likely it may be related to the identity of Li Jing and his two teachers. Thinking of this, Li Jing did not refuse, and accepted it very simply.

Seeing that Li Jing didn't say a word and directly accepted the gift list, Han Zhi was a little surprised, but immediately took a flying money from his arms.

"This is the flying money that can be taken at any time by the Han family Hesheng Yuan Cabinet Workshop, and the ticket is worth three thousand yuan!"

Li Jing is really a little puzzled now, he just gave a generous gift worth 1,000 yuan, and he will give another 3,000 yuan right away? The Han family's handwriting is also too big, if it is just to pull a relationship, it seems that there is no need for such a heavy bleeding, can it be said that the Han family really has something to find themselves?

"What does Qilang mean by this, there is no merit and no luck, this money brother does not dare to accept it." Before he figured out the reason for the matter, Li Jing really didn't dare to accept the money. Seeing this, Han Zhi hurriedly pulled Li Jing to the side of the quiet place, and whispered: "Although my Han family is called Shandong Gaomen, it is not as noble as the five surnames of Shandong Wang, Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng, nor can it be compared to the powerful people surnamed Guanzhong Wei, Pei, Liu, and Xue, and even less rich than the four surnames of Jiangnan, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people in the clan who have become officials, and even fewer people have held high positions, and it is not easy to be in the clan. ”

As soon as he heard Han Zhi's complaints, Li Jing felt a little bit in his heart, it seems that the Han family came to the door, and it was really not just a simple matter of recognizing relatives and celebrating his birthday.
