After sending off the Kitchen God, the New Year atmosphere in Bianjing became more intense, and the crackling of firecrackers could be heard from time to time.
At this time, the heat wave for people in the city to buy new year's goods has not yet subsided. The broad streets are busy with traffic, and peace carts pulled by more than a dozen horses are shuttled back and forth in the streets and alleys.
After five days of driving, the Wei family's convoy, which had just entered the city from the west gate, was now moving with difficulty among the bustling pedestrians and the endless flow of carriages and horses.
Several servants that Wei Chen had hired in Yuzhou looked left and right as they walked, their mouths wide open in surprise.
They were all natives of Yuzhou. The current prosperity of Yuzhou has shocked them, and the colorful world in Bianjing City in front of them makes them feel that their eyes are not enough.
Wei Chen opened the car curtain and looked at the crowds of people on the street, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After nearly three years of absence, Bianjing is still the splendid city that ranks first in the world. Even the city of Yuzhou cannot match the prosperity of the peaceful and prosperous times.
As he got closer to home, Wei Chen became more and more determined to return home. Seeing that the road ahead was blocked and difficult to travel, he stopped keeping a low profile and ordered someone to hang out his title plate to clear a road for his own fleet to pass.
Bianjing was originally a place where dignitaries gathered, and now it was the time when foreign officials came to Beijing for pilgrimage. It was not unusual at all to meet a high-ranking official like the prefect of the state on the road.
However, when Wei Chen and his entourage hung out their title signs, the cars, horses and pedestrians on the street took the initiative to get out of the way and respectfully stayed aside.
Just because I saw the content on the title plate.
"God bless five years of liberation!"
"God bless you for six years!"
"God bless the champion in six years!"
"Six dollars passed!"
"Hand-picked Hanlin!"
"Mr. Chaoyi!"
"Extended book!"
"Zhan Shizhongyun!"
"Yuzhou knows the state!"
There are so many officials in the city of Bianjing who are born in the two rankings and have Jinshi status. If you drop a brick, you might be able to hit one.
However, officials who are qualified to play the titles of Jieyuan, Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan are rare even in Bianjing.
After all, there are only twenty-four Jieyuan in three years, and only one Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan are produced every three years.
As for collecting all three titles, there is even one more official with the title of "Six Yuan". Needless to say, there is only one official in Bianjing and even in the entire Zhou Dynasty.
For a time, all the cars and horses on the street were parked aside. Both sides of the road were crowded with pedestrians, and heads were poked out of the watchtowers along the street.
The legend of Liu Yuan's achievement, the myth of Wenqu's birth, the meritorious service of establishing a prince and making decisions, the sensation of Chen Qingyi...
Wei Chen left too many deeds in Bianjing City. Even though nearly three years have passed, the officials and gentry in Bianjing have never forgotten him.
What really established Wei Chen's status in the hearts of the people in Bianjing was the vaccination method he promoted.
Two years later, the effectiveness of the vaccination method has been verified in Yuzhou, and it has gradually spread from Yuzhou to other parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Bianjing, as the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is no exception.
Thousands of people have been protected from acne because of vaccination, and the mortality rate of infants and young children has also been greatly reduced.
This alone is enough for the people to be grateful and worship Wei Chen. ….
So, as soon as Wei Chen hung up his title card, the people rushed to tell the news about Wei Chen's return to the capital, and rushed to see Liu Yuanlang's style.
Wherever the Wei family's motorcade passed, officials, gentry and ordinary people all waved and applauded.
Wei Chen immediately asked the coachman to stop the carriage, opened the curtain and leaned out, smiled and bowed to the onlookers, and then sat back down.
The surging enthusiasm of the people of Bianjing deeply shocked everyone in the Wei family's motorcade.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan, the staff member who came to Beijing with Wei Chen, said in a daze: "No wonder Dong Weng was so low-key along the way. If he really arrogantly showed off his title and rushed on the road, he might not be able to reach Bianjing in a month!"
"Dong Weng was demoted from the capital for nearly three years.
Years ago, he still had such a high reputation in Beijing. For scholars of our generation to be able to serve as officials and reach the level of Dong Weng, we really have no regrets in dying! "
Another staff member, Wei Shuping, was quite emotional when he saw this, and recommended him to Wei Chen's Dali Temple Minister Wang Wenqing. Such a high reputation.
Thanks to the active avoidance of pedestrians on the road, the Wei family's motorcade finally passed through the most congested section of the street. Although the road ahead was still busy, it was finally able to pass without obstruction.
The motorcade passed through the streets and alleys, and when it was approaching Zhouqiao, several people from the team separated and rushed to Xuande Gate in the Imperial City to report for Wei Chen.
According to the rules, Wei Chen should make this trip in person, but the Tian family is not unkind. After all, Wei Chen has worked hard outside for several years, so Zhao Zhen will still give him this face.

In the afternoon, the motorcade slowly drove into Jiying Lane. Under the attention of the neighbors, Wei Chen finally saw the long-lost gate of the house.
At the door of the Wei Mansion, stood a tall and thin young man wearing a small round hat, and behind him was a woman with a bun. It was Wei Ruyi's family whom Wei Chen had not seen for a long time.
Wei Ruyi is a little fatter than she was three years ago, but with her foundation there and a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, she looks like a lady from a wealthy family.
Seeing Wei Chen lift the curtain and step out of the carriage, Wei Ruyi's face was filled with a joyful smile. She stepped forward to greet him and said excitedly: "Brother Chen, you are finally back. The whole family is looking forward to you!"
Wei Ruyi's eyes never left Wei Chen. She held Wei Chen's hands tightly and looked up and down, fearing that Wei Chen was missing a few ounces of meat.
"I'm sorry, nephew, I miss you so much."
Feeling Wei Ruyi's concern for him, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel warm and a little guilty in his heart.
Since he entered the official career, he has been busy with secular affairs and has never found a chance to return to Youyang to see Wei Ruyi and the others. He can only communicate through letters.
When Wei Chen returns to Beijing this time, he is going to marry Er Lan. Such a big event cannot be done without the Wei Ruyi family who raised Wei Chen.
Therefore, Wei Chen wrote a letter to his family in advance, urging him to invite Wei Ruyi and his family over from Youyang.
After exchanging pleasantries with Wei Ruyi, Wei Chen looked behind her and asked, "Where is my uncle?"
"I asked him to go hold a banquet." Wei Ruyi said with a smile: "You finally come back, of course you have to celebrate well."
"No need to go to such trouble, just ask my uncle to come back. We can just have a bite at home." Wei Chen said.
But he couldn't resist Wei Ruyi's persistence, so he had to let her go. This was also what his aunt and uncle wanted for him.
Wei Chen looked at the tall and thin boy next to Wei Ruyi and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, and our A Xu has grown into a big boy!"
This young man was naturally Zhang Xu. Although he had grown a lot in size and appearance over the years, his outline was still the same as before, so Wei Chen recognized him at a glance.
Zhang Xu was a little cautious when he saw Wei Chen at first, but when he heard Wei Chen's words, he immediately relaxed a lot. He stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Wei Chen's arm and said, "We haven't seen each other for so long, I thought Brother Chen wouldn't recognize me. Woolen cloth!"
"How can an elder brother not recognize his own younger brother?"
Wei Chen laughed and said immediately: "Aunt, A Xu, it's windy outside. Come on, let's go home and talk!"
With that said, Wei Chen supported Wei Ruyi with one hand and held Zhang Xu with the other, and strode into the home from the middle door side by side. .
