who?
When Kaimata saw the figure outside the yard, he frowned and murmured.
When the grandmother heard what the eldest son said, she was a little confused and couldn't help but look back at the eldest son. When she saw the eldest son looking straight at the yard, thinking of something, the grandmother quickly stood up and turned to look out the door.
Subsequently.
Even though she was old and couldn't see the three figures clearly under the moonlight, how could her grandmother, who had watched her grandson grow up since childhood, fail to notice that one of the figures was extremely familiar.
"Yan'er~?"
Grandma's eyes were red and she shouted excitedly and tremblingly.
As if she was afraid that her eyes would be dimmed at this moment, her grandmother's tone was so cautious.
In the dark little courtyard, I heard my grandmother's voice, and in my grandmother's eyes, I saw that familiar figure walking quickly.
"Yan'er!!!"
I have been thinking about it day and night, hoping, thinking, and worrying year after year. Now my grandmother can no longer suppress her excitement. She holds her old and inconvenient body and walks excitedly toward the door step by step.
Yan'er?
Seeing this happening in the house, my busy little aunt also hurriedly walked towards the door, feeling very nervous.
Later, when my aunt came to the door, she saw in the small courtyard that the young man who left Linzi City Gate five years ago was back again, kneeling in front of the old woman just like he had been five years ago.
"Yan'er!!!"
Relying on the dim candlelight and a little moonlight, my aunt carefully looked at the young man's outline.
Over the past five years, the familiar young man's appearance in his memory has become much more mature than before. His clear eyes have become determined, and his immature face has been replaced by maturity. However, none of this has changed the young man's face. .
Five years away.
The boy is still the same boy as before, but compared to the stubborn figure who left the city gate five years ago, the boy kneeling on the ground now has a sense of his own years.
Fengqing pays homage to the general!
The words that my mother had said again and again five years ago came to mind again. This time, my aunt couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
My aunt five years ago didn't understand the weight of those words, but now, when this young man returns, he appears in front of her again.
What appeared in my aunt's heart was Lord Wu Lie of the Qin State, and even more... a high lord of the Qin State, a great master.
Qin State, made by Daliang! ! !
Thinking of this title, and with the thoughts that came to mind, my aunt looked at the young man in cloth again. For a moment, her whole body became uneasy. She quickly looked at her husband, Kimata, beside her, and found that Kimata was also at this moment. His face was uneasy, and his eyes were full of hesitation and hesitation as he looked over.
Both husband and wife knew clearly that Daliang Zao was a rare high-ranking official in the Qin State. No one dared to disrespect him, let alone the Qin State, even if he looked at the entire world.
But now, the little nephew has truly become a great man of the Qin State. As elders, should they kneel down to worship or not?
Just as the couple was hesitating.
"Yan, meet grandma!"
Bai Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his grandmother.
The kindness of shelter and protection in the past has not returned for five years. The guilt and longing in Bai Yan's heart made Bai Yan kowtow and shed tears.
Since he was a child, his grandmother has protected him everywhere. Five years ago, Bai Yan had no ability and could only let his grandmother live here and wait for his return. This incident is an experience that Bai Yan will never let go of for the rest of his life. .
"Silly boy! Get up!"
Grandma said, with a smile on her face and stepped forward to help Bai Yan. However, she wanted to laugh and didn't want to see her grandson cry, but she couldn't help but cry as she spoke.
Grandma's eyes were already full of tears, and her wrinkled old face was full of age. When a line of tears fell, Bai Yan, who looked up, saw it and felt a sting in his heart.
"Yan'er is unfilial!"
Bai Yan sobbed violently, and with a tear-filled face, he kowtowed to his grandmother again.
This scene.
The two daughters, Zhao Qiu and Master Xu, couldn't help but have red eyes, and the tips of their noses felt a little sore looking at the scene of the reunion between ancestors and grandchildren.
There are so many good and evil things in the world, and so many emotions in the world's suffering.
Compared with the turmoil in the world, only by seeing too many intrigues and experiencing the dangers of the world can we appreciate the preciousness of the sincere relationship between ancestors and grandchildren.
"Get up, Yan'er, let grandma take a good look! Have you lost weight~!"
The grandmother took the sleeve of the coarse cloth, wiped her eyes, and quickly helped her grandson stand up.
When she saw the tears on her little grandson's face when he raised his head, the grandmother felt heartbroken. Just like she did when she was a child, she raised her calloused hands, gently wiped away his tears, and then comforted Bai Yan's head.
Seeing Bai Yan, who had never cried no matter how wronged he was when he was a child, or how he was ridiculed by others, with his face full of tears at this moment, my grandmother felt indescribable distress in her heart.
Grandma has never been out of Qi State in her life, not even to places outside Linzi.
But my grandmother knew better than anyone else that after her little grandson left Qi alone, the journey to Qin was not easy, and his life in Qin was not easy either.
No one in the world asked about Bai Yan and Bai's affairs, and talked much about Bai's luck. Only the grandmother heard the words and knew clearly that this was a favor repaid by her grandson to Bai.
Just like growing up, the lonely child in the village, no matter how downcast or laughed at, never owed anything to outsiders and never caused trouble in the family.
"Look, I haven't seen you in a few years, and you are so much taller than your grandmother!"
The grandmother looked at her grandson up and down with a look of relief, and her tone of voice was like that of a child, when a child she hadn't seen for a long time arrived, she would always look at the boy's height at first sight.
Whenever she gets a little taller, my grandmother seems to be happier than the teenager, and her smile is more gratifying than anyone else.
"I heard that Yan'er has been granted the title of Lord? Is it Lord Wu Lie?"
Grandma looked at Bai Yan and asked with excitement and disbelief.
"Um!"
Bai Yan nodded and looked at his grandmother's exaggerated appearance. He raised his hand and rubbed the tears from his eyes with his palms, looking at his grandmother with pride.
"My grandson is now Lord Wu Lie! In the Qin State, there is a fiefdom! Where is Luoyin! Everyone in the fiefdom has to pay taxes to Yan'er. Yan'er just does nothing, and his annual tax revenue is more than that of all officials. , many, many more! The prime minister and clan members of the Qin State are not as good as Yan'er."
Bai Yan said with a smile.
I want to tell my grandmother that I will no longer have to worry about food and drink, or clothing to keep out the cold in winter. In Luoyin, there are mansions, servants, and maids.
When talking about the fiefdom of Luoyin, Bai Yan felt more proud than ever at this moment. Even when he received the fiefdom reward in front of the Bai family and the envious looks from countless Qin officials, Bai Yan had never felt this way before. With excitement in my heart, I wished I could take my grandmother to the fiefdom of Luoyin immediately to enjoy the blessings.
After all, the person in front of him is his grandmother who has taken care of him and loved him since he was a child.
"Hi~ So awesome!! Doesn't that mean those people will envy my grandson?"
When grandma heard Bai Yan's words, she laughed so hard that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and her tone was filled with wonder.
Then, my grandmother seemed to have thought of something, and she looked like she had gained the upper hand.
"The prince is back! Humph! Now that Yan'er has returned to the village, the old woman wants to see who else dares to laugh at my grandson again!!! Fortunately, those old men were still alive and stepped into the loess. Next time I go back, scare them and see if they can smile as happily as before!"
Grandma's old face was full of complaints and she said.
It seems that now that her grandson is successful and famous, grandma becomes very unhappy when she thinks of the grievances her grandson has suffered since childhood, and she can finally feel proud.
Go back to the village and see if those people who laughed at the little grandson still dare to raise their heads?
Who of the women, children and old people in the village can laugh when they see their grandson in the future?
"Um!"
Grandma's words made Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh.
However, looking at his grandmother's appearance, Bai Yan knew that his grandmother was kinder than anyone else and treated the people outside. It was because of his grandmother's sincere teachings that Bai Yan could always keep his true intentions.
Scared, that's really just scared.
Grandma didn't really want those old men to be buried in the soil.
"When I go back this time, Yan'er won't let anyone make fun of grandma again!"
Bai Yan looked at his grandmother and said softly, also making a secret vow in his heart.
"good!"
The grandmother looked at her grandson with a longing look on her face. She kept grabbing Bai Yan's hand with two calloused hands and looked at her to make sure he was fine. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let Yan'er into the house.
At this time, the grandmother noticed the two women who came with her grandson.
Looking at it, even my grandmother was shocked.
"This is?"
The grandmother couldn't help but look at the two girls. After taking a look, she turned around and asked Bai Yan.
"Yan'er, meet my uncle and aunt!"
Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted his eldest uncle Komata and his aunt. Looking at the two elders who looked obviously embarrassed, Bai Yan felt helpless, but he also knew that after five years of not seeing each other, for his eldest uncle and aunt, Their own changes made them feel a little strange.
After all, the most important official that my uncle and aunt had ever come into contact with in their lives was the chief official who patrolled the city in Linzi City.
Now that he suddenly became a great hero of the Qin State and appeared in front of his uncle and aunt, it was normal for him to have difficulty adapting for a while. Bai Yan was very happy at the moment. Fortunately, he did not wear the official uniform of the Qin State and returned with his Jue Bian.
The outfit I am wearing now makes it easier for my uncle and aunt to accept it.
"Hey!!"
Kasama smiled and nodded to Bai Yan. Looking at Bai Yan, who was used to saluting, Kasama seemed a little at a loss and his smile was very stiff.
Looking at his uncle and aunt who were at a loss, Bai Yan heard the grandmother's question beside him, then turned his head, looked at his grandmother, and introduced Master Xu and Zhao Qiu to his grandmother.
For Master Xu.
Just like when Bai Yan told Master Xu that he would never tell anyone about Master Xu's identity as a poison master, now, even if his grandmother asked, Bai Yan said that Master Xu was a doctor with very superb medical skills.
Under the gaze of Master Xu, Bai Yan told his grandmother in detail that when General Bai Yu of the Qin State was poisoned, the Xianyang imperial doctor and his family were unable to do anything. The Bai family exhausted all their connections and could not cure the poison. In the end, it was all up to Master Xu. , detoxified Bai Yu on his own and saved Bai Yu's life.
Now when Master Xu goes to the Bai family, the Bai family will respect Master Xu as a distinguished guest. He is also Bai Yu's savior and a nobleman of the Bai family.
"Hi~! So powerful!"
"Doctor!!!"
Kaimata looked at his little nephew and was trying to get used to it, when he suddenly heard his little nephew's words and looked surprised.
He and his wife looked at each other, and both of them looked lost. They didn't expect that the woman with a pretty face and charming expression in front of them could be so powerful.
Later, what surprised the Matama couple even more was that Bai Yan said that in Yanmen, all the cavalry soldiers and border cavalry soldiers respected Master Xu very much.
Kaimata took a breath, feeling secretly shocked.
All along, while selling millet cakes in Linzi City, Jima had heard countless people talk about the cavalry and the side cavalry, and these two Qin armies were recognized by countless people as the most courageous army in the north.
There is no difference in the world.
But now, this Miss Xu Master is actually respected by all the brave soldiers. How can this not surprise Kaimata? After all, this Miss Xu is a woman.
"Master Xu, meet the old lady!"
Master Xu listened to Bai Yan's compliments, his pretty face flushed red in the dim night. In the end, even Master Xu couldn't stand Bai Yan's compliments. After Bai Yan finished speaking, he was worried that Bai Yan would continue to speak, so he quickly looked embarrassed Intentionally, he saluted his grandmother.
"Okay, okay!!!"
Grandma looked at Master Xu with a smile and nodded with a smile on her face.
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu and saw Master Xu's embarrassed look, so he stopped talking. However, when introducing Zhao Qiu, Bai Yan just said the word "Shen" when he was interrupted by Zhao Qiu.
"Zhao Qiu, meet the old lady!"
Zhao Qiu saluted his grandmother with a well-behaved look on his face.
Under Bai Yan's surprised gaze, Zhao Qiu's usual enchanting and charming look was no longer there. His whole person was uncharacteristically dignified, no matter what he said or did, he was very dignified.
Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu's appearance at this time, with a puzzled look on his face. Why did he feel that Zhao Qiu seemed to be a different person tonight.
What's even more unimaginable is that Zhao Qiu actually took the initiative to tell his grandmother's real name in front of her.
"Okay, okay, come in the house, come in the house quickly!!"
With a smile on her face, the grandmother turned around and asked her daughter-in-law to take the two girls into the house.
Bai Yan seemed to realize that his grandmother had something to say, so he didn't rush into the house.
Watching the second daughter and her daughter-in-law enter the house obediently, the grandmother turned her head, looked at her little grandson, and spoke in a very soft tone.
"Yan'er! No matter how many women are around me in the future, I must never let Yan'er down. Without Yan'er's care in the past few years, my old bones, old woman, would have been buried in the loess, and I wouldn't be able to wait for Yan'er to come back today! This Yan'er must remember this kindness! No matter how many women appear around him in the future, no matter ten, twenty, or fifty years, Yan'er must remember that Yan'er will be his wife for life! "
Grandma whispered, but her tone did not blame Bai Yan.
As someone who has lived there, my grandmother knows better than anyone else how many women will admire and care about her little grandson's fame, power, and status, and how many nobles will try their best to have a relationship with Bai Yan. .
In the future, more and more young and beautiful women will appear in front of Bai Yan.
Grandma knew how difficult it was to stick to one's heart, but she didn't dare to say that Yan'er was the best woman in the world.
But as for her grandson's first wife, in the eyes of her grandmother, she, an old woman, only recognized Yan'er, and she would not recognize any other woman, no matter who she was.
It was like this before, and it will be like this in the future. Even if one day she is buried in the loess and under the underworld, her old woman's soul will only recognize Tian Feiyan as her grandson-in-law.
Such persistence is not due to Tian Feiyan's care in the past few years, but because of her grandmother who once worked as a maid in Lu Bo's mansion. She has seen the world become cold and desolate, and she has seen the disaster coming and they have to fly away.
Back then, Tian Feiyan was born into a noble family, but he did not abandon Bai Yan's humble background. This was her grandson-in-law in the eyes of her grandmother.
In my grandmother's heart, there is Yan'er. Even if she is buried in the loess one day and is no longer alive, she still has to worry about whether her grandson will be cold, hungry, or frozen. If she is down and out, there will be someone by her side.
"Grandma, don't worry! Yan'er knows!"
Bai Yan looked at his grandmother's appearance, listened to his grandmother's instructions, and said seriously.
Bai Yan then informed his grandmother that he had married Yan'er in Xianyang to reassure her.
Inside the wooden house.
Zhao Qiu and Master Xu, who used to live in mansions, came to such a simple house for the first time. They looked around at the messy surroundings and found that there were piles of debris everywhere, especially a wooden bed. , are all too old to be ridiculous.
"sit!"
Auntie quickly asked Zhao Qiu and Master Xu to sit down, and then came inside from outside the house. Under the candlelight, Auntie finally saw the appearance of these two girls clearly.
If she was a little surprised when she saw Master Xu, then when she saw Zhao Qiu, even though she was a woman, her aunt couldn't help but be shocked by Zhao Qiu's beauty, what a beautiful woman.
Compared with the Tian Feiyan of the Tianfu whom I had seen in the past, Tian Feiyan's beauty made people feel ashamed, and they dared not touch her because of their stunning appearance. However, the Zhao Qiu they saw now was touching, even if she was silent, that Her pretty face and beautiful eyes are enough to enchant people's hearts.
Even this woman, my aunt, was full of emotion.
"mother!"
Watching my mother and nephew enter the house, my aunt quickly took something to sit on.
"Yan'er, when will you go home?"
At this time, the aunt also brought water and signaled to Zhao Qiu and Master Xu not to be polite. Then she watched her husband take the millet cakes to the two girls and turned to ask about the little nephew.
Seeing her little nephew wearing ordinary clothes, her aunt kept giving up the idea of Qin's great creation and regarded Bai Yan as her little nephew from five years ago, so she dared to speak.
More importantly, the aunt also felt that her nephew's behavior was still the same as five years ago, treating her as an elder and not giving birth to a child. This undoubtedly made her feel relieved.
Otherwise, when I think of the words coined by Daliang of Qin, my aunt would not dare to speak even if my nephew is wearing ordinary coarse clothes.
"Eat slowly, I know I like corn cakes, so I'll save them for you!"
Grandma looked at Bai Yan with a loving look on her face, and said with a smile on her face as she saw Bai Yan picking up the millet cakes and gobbling them down.
Turning his head to look at Master Xu and Zhao Qiu, when he saw Zhao Qiu's appearance clearly under the candlelight, not only a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of his aunt, but also his grandmother.
But thinking back to the past, I heard that in Pingyang, Qin State, the Bai family had a talented woman who was both beautiful and famous. She was a famous beauty in the Qin State, and her grandson borrowed the name of the Bai family. Thinking about it, he knew that he would definitely have contact with that woman, and Now, I see the woman who came with her grandson, so beautiful and moving.
And this woman is not actually the Bai woman! ! !
Grandma didn't know whether to be happy or helpless for a moment.
Fortunately, the grandson has already married Yan'er, otherwise grandma would be really worried that Yan'er is young and not as considerate as other women, and she is worried that Yan'er will only be bullied.
"It's delicious! Grandma's hash browns are still delicious~!..."
Bai Yan nodded to his grandmother. When he heard his aunt's question, his smile gradually faded. Fortunately, he still smiled and looked at his aunt.
"Wait until Yaner loses Tianjia's two legs and two hands, and then go back to see his parents, brother, and sister-in-law!"
Bai Yan said while chewing the fragrant millet cake.
Although he spoke softly and even though he smiled, the hatred in Bai Yan's tone could be clearly felt by his grandmother, uncle and aunt, not to mention Zhao Qiu and Master Xu.
But at this time, even the grandmother sighed, shook her head helplessly, and did not persuade her grandson.
Grandma knows the relationship between the two grandsons better than anyone else. Now that the eldest grandson’s leg was broken, he luckily saved his life, but because of this, he can only become a useless person in the future. If the little grandson doesn’t avenge this grudge, maybe the little grandson in this life will Neither will forgive themselves.
Inside the wooden house.
When Jima and his wife heard Bai Yan's words, they were a little worried. After all, the couple heard that the person who hurt Shou'er was a powerful person in Qi State, and his status was very high in Qi State.
"Shou'er, and my little sister, they miss you Yan'er! Yan'er has been coming to Zi every now and then to report to the government that he is looking for you! They will definitely be happy when they see Yan'er!"
The aunt looked at Bai Yan and said softly, and as soon as she finished speaking, Kaimata, who was sitting next to her, also nodded.
"Yes! When Yan'er goes back, your parents may not believe it when they see you!"
At this time, Kaimata also echoed, and then smiled and told Bai Yan the current situation in Bai Yan's family, including the fact that Bai Yan was his uncle.
aside.
Zhao Qiu and Master Xu both listened quietly to Kima's words. Whenever the two girls saw the gaze cast by Bai Yan's grandmother, they would instinctively dodge and their ears would turn red.
Not only Master Xu was like this, but Zhao Qiu was also like this. However, when their enthusiastic grandmother asked about their affairs, the two daughters told the truth without any concealment.
When Bai Yan listened to his uncle's words, his mother's appearance appeared in his mind, as well as his brother whom he had not seen for many years. His eyes were full of longing. He learned that his father had come to Linzi alone from Shuicun again and again to ask for news from the government. , thinking of what my father looks like...
Bai Yan was full of guilt, but Bai Yan knew that Bai Yan could not return to Shui Village yet.
Bai Yan suppressed his thoughts, and under the eyes of his uncle and aunt, he whispered what happened to his cousin Boyu, and told his aunt that now his cousin Boyu had married the daughter of the Zhongli family, and the Zhongli family was A prominent family in Zhongwu City.
Seeing the excitement on his uncle's and aunt's faces, Bai Yan looked at his grandmother.
Bai Yan wanted to surprise his grandmother about his uncle, so he didn't talk about it for now.
Looking at Master Xu talking with his grandmother, Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu.
Looking at the beautiful face with tear-marked eyes, Zhao Qiu, who used to be arrogant, was holding millet cakes in his two slender hands and eating them silently with his thin lips. Bai Yan's eyes were full of surprise. It was the first time he saw such an arrogant person. Zhao Qiu actually ate millet cakes.
Sensing Bai Yan's gaze, Zhao Qiu turned his head and looked at Bai Yan. Then his beautiful eyes felt unnatural, and he turned back to look at his grandmother, seemingly not seeing Bai Yan's eyes.
"By the way, uncle! In the next few days, I will take my grandmother and aunt away from Linzi City and return to the village to live for a while!"
Bai Yan thought of something, turned to look at his excited uncle, and gave instructions.
"Back to the village?"
When Kimata heard Bai Yan's words, his excited face was full of doubts, but since it was Bai Yan who spoke, Kimata naturally wouldn't refuse.
Next time, Bai Yan will be wearing Qin official uniform.
My daughter-in-law has been undergoing examinations in the past two days and is waiting for the results to come out. If the condition is not good, she may have to be hospitalized for a few days. If she is too young, she may not be able to give birth. I have been really busy with the knife these past few days. Sorry!
