The Qi family was not considered a first-class family in Fengjing, but at least they had a second-grade member, and the grade of the carriage was still very impressive.
Jiang Sheng sat on a soft brocade cushion with his arms resting on the small square table. Out of politeness, he did not touch anything on the table, but he thought there should be a lot of pastries and tea.
"This carriage is so comfortable." She commented, "It's even more comfortable than Brother Fufeng's carriage."
Xu Mo laughed.
This is natural. The Wang family, one of the best in Anshui County, can only be seen everywhere in Fengjing, grabbing a lot of them.
If Wang Fufeng is healthy and becomes a Jinshi from a boy student, it may be possible to revitalize the family.
But God just can't see anything too perfect.
Thinking of that handsome young man who was weak and weak, Xu Mo sighed in his heart and decided to write his third letter since arriving in Fengjing.
The letter mentioned the recent imperial examination fraud case, his own changes in mind, and the different growth of the brothers and sisters.
After a new stamp is stamped, it will be handed over to a familiar businessman to take back to Anshui County with a small reward.
After more than half a month, the young man who has finished handling the affairs at the Wang family's mansion in Anshui County will use his eyes to see all the people in Fengjing and the ups and downs of the officialdom.
At the end, he held the letter to his chest and showed an envious smile that finally responded to his longing.
Soon we arrived at Erjin Courtyard.
Although other people's carriages were comfortable, they did not belong to him after all. Jiang Sheng could only take a few small and cautious touches, and followed Xu Mo out of the carriage.
Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan jumped down one after another, and Jiang Si returned the carriage to Qi's house.
"Where's Jiang San? Didn't he come back a long time ago?" Jiang Sheng poked his head curiously.
Xu Mo was equally puzzled.
Chang Yan pursed his lips and said calmly, "I asked him to do something."
As long as you don't get lost.
Jiang Sheng knew that Fifth Brother was mysterious, and also knew that Fifth Brother was very clever. There were some things that Fifth Brother would say if he wanted to, but not if he didn't want to.
Anyway, everyone knows that Fifth Brother will not hurt them.
The little fat girl picked up her skirt and rushed into the small courtyard, shouting for another bowl of dumplings.
Xu Mo walked a little later and looked at his fifth brother meaningfully, "Xiao Wu has grown up and started to hide things from his brothers."
I remember that at the beginning, I had a long banquet and Qian warned Xu Mo not to hold back and not to deceive in the name of protection.
The result was his own turn.
Facing the eldest brother's questioning, even though Chang Yan had hundreds of tricks, he also felt guilty.
Unfortunately, he really couldn't talk about it, so he could only glance at the small medicine box at the door and smile shyly, "Brother, this is just this time, never again."
Xu Mo snorted, said nothing, threw up his sleeves and entered the hospital.
This is the default.
Chang Yan stood at the door, shaking his head with a helpless smile, and was about to lower the door bolt.
Suddenly there was the sound of a carriage outside.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. If it hadn't been for the knife-catching incident, all the people in Fengjing would have gathered at home to celebrate.
Even the important ministers who have gone to the Jinluan Palace should be home now.
Who could drive by Erjin Xiaoyuan on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Could it be that the second brother who traveled abroad has returned.
Guessing is guessing, seeing is believing.
Chang Yan turned his head and saw a gray carriage that was about to fall apart, a horse that was so skinny and tired that it was hobbling, and three people sitting crookedly on top of each other and unable to open their eyes.
The two on the left and right are brothers from the Gao family. Who is the second brother in the middle if he is not their beloved second brother?
The door bolt in his hand fell on his foot, and he didn't even notice it hit his toe.
As Gao Wanle stopped the carriage, Chang Yan turned his head and uttered the loudest voice in his life, "Second brother is back."
"Plop."
"thump."
"Bang."
Three sounds came.
Jiang Sheng was the first to rush in. The hem of his new clothes was wet. He might have knocked over the bowl.
Wen Zhiyun followed closely behind. There was light yellow powder on his chest. He must have knocked over the golden sore medicine in the medicine box.
Xu Mo was the calmest, but he also walked hastily, and large pieces of thick ink could be vaguely seen on his sleeves.
After a quick calculation, Zheng Laoer has been away for nearly two months, and no news has been sent back.
Although he often travels abroad, although he boasts of rich experience, and although he is accompanied by the Gao brothers, in the hearts of his family, he is only a fourteen-year-old boy.
Years ago, Jiang Sheng always stood on tiptoe in anticipation, hearing the sound of the carriage and rushing over again and again, only to return disappointed.
On New Year's Eve, Xu Mo secretly wondered whether he should go to Henan County in person to look for the person.
Even Wen Zhiyun timidly asked several times, "Second brother, won't something happen outside?"
Now, with Chang Yan's voice, everyone's hearts dropped to their stomachs.
Jiang Sheng was the most cheerful and lively person, holding up the hem of his skirt and shouting, "Second brother, this bad guy, let him come back early to celebrate the New Year. He insisted on being stuck on the first day of the new year and didn't even eat the thirty dumplings..."
The rest of the words were left unsaid.
After seeing the three dusty figures on the messy carriage, the little girl stood there stunned.
It's not like Zheng Ruqian has never traveled far away. Everyone is mentally prepared that he will lose weight and suffer some hardships when he comes back.
But who would have thought that the plump young man with a broad face and big mouth would be so thin that there was only a handful of bones left.
His cheeks were deeply sunken, his broad chin turned sharp, his eye sockets were extremely sunken, and his lips were pale and covered with layers of dead skin. He was no more willing to give up than Wang Fufeng who had given up on himself.
But Wang Fufeng has always been sick and weak, but Zheng Ruqian is lively, fair and round.
What had happened to her second brother during the two months he was away from home?
Jiang Sheng's eyes were red, her nose was sore, and countless soreness and numbness extended from her throat, leaving her speechless.
Zheng Ruqian opened his eyes and saw the sister he missed so much. He grinned and said, "Little Jiang Sheng, thirty is the year, and the first year is also the year. The second brother has kept his promise. The second brother is back to celebrate the New Year with you."
Even if the cost is that he has to eat solid food for three days in a row, even if he has to stay awake, even if he is exhausted, even if he is so thin that his body is covered with bones.
But he's back.
Zheng Ruqian's face was full of pride. He slowly straightened up and wanted to jump off the carriage and give his brothers and sisters a hug, but the moment he stepped on the ground, his vision went dark and he fell down.
"elder brother!"
Jiang Sheng's held-back tears were finally released. She shouted sharply into the sky and rushed forward with all her strength.
at the same time.
At the Jiang family's joyful reunion banquet, Jiang Chengyuan stood up suddenly, and the shrill "brother" seemed to still echo in his ears.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Chenghuan heard the movement and looked over strangely.
Jiang Chengyuan picked his ears.
It was strange that his sister's voice had always been gentle and soft, but the cry of "brother" just now made his soul tremble, and he wished he could give her his heart, liver, and lungs.
But if you listen carefully, there is nothing.
"It's okay, maybe I'm hallucinating." Jiang Chengyuan explained, his eyes fell on Jiang Chenghuan's new jewelry, and he felt proud again, "The new hairstyle my brother gave you, it looks good."
"It's beautiful, it's very beautiful." Jiang Chenghuan smiled coquettishly, "My brother gave me the most beautiful gift."
Jiang Chengyuan smiled with satisfaction and took out another ingot of gold from his arms, "This is your annual money. Our little Chenghuan, please be happy and safe every year."
