208 First Sight
Xiling City is located at the westernmost point of the vast territory of Dasheng Dynasty.
To the south of the northwest territory, there are grasslands and flying sand.
The old lady of the Yuan family, the surname Su, is full of warm and rouxing in the water town of Jiangnan. In Xiling City, it represents an inviolable majesty.
The Su family of Pingxi Hou was originally from a grassroots. The ancestors were a hero from the green forest and once occupied the mountains and became king.
At the beginning of the Dasheng Kaiguo, he followed Taizu through the pass and seized land. Like the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, he was a family that had been a general for generations.
Today, Su Shixun, the Hou of Pingxi, is the brother of the old lady Jun Yi's mother.
Upon receiving the news, the old man led his children and grandchildren to the city gate to greet him early in the morning.
He was the only sister of the old lady, who rarely met after she married into Shengjing City in her early years.
There is no way. The reason why the Pingxi Marquis Mansion stands in Xiling is because Xiling City is a barrier leading from the Western Regions to the Shengchao.
The Su family has the function of defending the country. Although they are rich and prosperous, they cannot leave the city easily and must always guard the Western Regions with ambitions.
So the old man only has the opportunity to go to Shengjing City when the emperor summoned him.
Only then could he go to Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to meet his sister, nephew and juniors.
Ten years have passed since the last time I parted.
The old man heard that his sister was in poor health and was worried about how to find a way to go to Beijing, otherwise he would be afraid that he would never have the chance to reunite his siblings in his lifetime.
But at this time, he received a letter from Shengjingcheng, saying that the old lady, the general, and the Wulang family were already on the way to Xiling.
The Queen of Pingxi was so excited that she had been excited for a long time.
Finally, at dusk, a huge group of carriages from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion were welcomed at the city gate.
He quickly jumped off his horse, still very agile, "Sister!"
When the carriage stopped, Cui Ling lifted the curtain and saw a majestic and upright and energetic old general, he came over with great excitement.
The old lady patted her hand gently, "It's my uncle."
She replied with tears in her face. "Axun, it's me, I'm back!"
With Cui Ling's support, he slowly got off the carriage.
After many years, the siblings met each other and saw that they were much older, with silver silk and chicken skin and hair. I couldn't help but think of the time I spent together day and night when I was young, and I couldn't help but cry and hugged each other.
The general quickly smiled and advised, "Mother, isn't this a great joy to meet your uncle? Why do you cry?"
A middle-aged man behind Pingxi Hou also said, "Father, what do you have to say to your aunt and go home? Just like this at the city gate... people come and go, are you not afraid of others laughing?"
The old man pulled out and glared at the man fiercely, "I was happy to see my sister, so I wanted to cry. Why? You kid still want to take care of you?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but shrink back and waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no. How dare I care about you? You can do whatever you want."
Cui Ling felt that the way Pingxi Hou and his son got along was exactly the same as the general treating Goro.
She couldn't help but feel funny and couldn't help but chuckle out loud.
When the Hou Pingxi looked at him, he couldn't help but be happy when he saw Cui Ling, "This little girl is beautiful, just like she walks out of a painting."
He hurriedly asked the old lady, "Is this the eldest sister?"
The old lady held Cui Ling's hand and shook her head with a smile, "The eldest sister just got married on September 16th and married a mistress from the Lian family. Where can she come?"
She turned her head and looked at Cui Ling gently, "This is my Goro's wife. Look, I have given birth to two children, and you still call her a little girl."
Cui Ling quickly bowed and said with a blushing face, "Please my uncle."
Well, she shouldn't be laughing in front of others. Although she smiled lightly, she couldn't stand it. It was really impolite.
Although the Marquis of Pingxi didn't have many opportunities to meet his sister, the two often communicated.
When the old lady said this, he smiled so much that the girl was the daughter of the Cui family of Anning Bo Mansion. Before the battle in the northwest, she asked for Goro to marry.
He was worried that such a forced melon would not be sweet, but now he saw Goro and his wife standing on the left and right, and they were loving and harmonious, and they were also relieved.
After introducing each other to the ceremony, the Marquis of Pingxi took his sister and his party back to the mansion in a mighty manner.
In the carriage, the old lady asked, "What did you think of just now and you were so happy?"
She knew Cui Ling very well, and she laughed so hard that this child was not a person who had no rules and no sense of proportion. If there was nothing really funny, she would not have been so rude in front of relatives she had met for the first time.
Cui Ling felt a little embarrassed, her face turned slightly red, "I just looked like my father taught Goro a lesson when she saw her uncle scolding her uncle, and even her tone was exactly the same. Thinking of the past when she was in the northwest, she couldn't help but laugh."
She held the old lady's arm, "Grandma, I really didn't mean it."
The old lady hurriedly comforted her, "Pingxi Hou Mansion is far away in Xiling. The people here are rough and not the same as Shengjing City, so they are unwilling to pay attention to the red tape rules. Don't worry, the people of the Su family will not laugh at you."
She asked curiously again, "What happened in the northwest? Is your father still teaching Goro a lesson from time to time? Let's hear it."
Cui Ling said everything about how Goro deliberately wanted to please the general and did not hesitate to destroy his image and act coquettishly to attract attention.
She covered her mouth and smiled, "When my father and Goro were together, wasn't it the same when I was with my uncle and my eldest uncle?"
They were all very awe-inspiring, but they still wanted to get my father's attention.
But I finally looked so tough. As long as my father continued to criticize him harshly, he would immediately become depressed.
The so-called nephew is like an uncle, and it is indeed well-known.
The old lady smiled when she heard this, "Your uncle loves the child just like your father. He just likes you, but he is stupid and can't speak."
She paused and took the opportunity to remind the affairs of the Pingxi Hou Mansion again, "My aunt has disappeared long ago, and your uncle has not renewed her marriage, so now the Hou is your aunt in charge. She is a cheerful person. You don't have to be restrained."
Su Zheduan, the son of the Marquis of Pingxi, married the Rong family, the daughter of the former Xiling City Order Yin, and was born and raised by the girl Xiling, who was a heroic person.
Cui Ling said, "Oh, then the cousin Su Yan you mentioned was born by my eldest aunt?"
The old lady nodded and smiled, "That's it. Yan'er is younger than you, about the same age as Yue'er, and like her mother, she is a generous girl. If you are bored, you can be a companion with her."
She lifted the curtain and looked at the car, and her eyes were pounding, "Why do I agree to let Shi Xiaosi, the troublemaker, follow me?"
Cui Ling opened her mouth and realized, "Oh, it turns out that my grandmother wants to match..."
She said, "Their family went back to Xiling to visit relatives, and Shi Xiaosi gathered together to have fun and insisted on following him."
Just forget it, the old lady even agreed with a smile.
It turns out that it is because of this reason.
Before the old lady could finish her words, she smiled and said "shush".
She said, "I just think Shi Xiaosi is good. Yan'er married to Shengjing City and has our family and takes care of her. But I don't know what your uncle and aunt think, so let's not mention it for now."
Cui Ling nodded quickly. "Yes, like our Yier. I can't bear to let her marry far away in the future."
She suddenly remembered something and frowned and said, "I don't know that Sister Dan is living a good life in Rouran."
The old lady missed Dan Jieer very much, but her attitude was very optimistic. "Roran submitted a letter of surrender to Sheng Chao, took the initiative to seek peace, and concluded a century-old peace agreement. Now they are resting and cannot afford to offend Sheng Chao."
She laughed, "Dan Jie'er is a marriage renowned as a princess, which represents the decency of Sheng Chao. The Ji family will be disrespectful to her unless they are stupid. Besides, Ji is a real man, and he asked for his own wife. I believe he can protect her well."
Last time, Ji Du came to Shengchao to marry a noble daughter on the order of Queen Mother Ji, and happened to have a change of dynasty, so he never succeeded.
He lived in Muyang's mansion because of some minor injuries, and he didn't know why he met Sister Dan.
Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he was granted the title of Danjieer Rong and Princess, and granted marriage to Ji Du.
After the wedding was held at the beginning of this year, he followed Ji Du back to Rouran.
Cui Ling has been to the northwest and knows that the living conditions there are hard to match with Shengjing City. In addition, although Rouran seeks peace, the new and old hatreds cannot be destroyed in one or two days.
So, she was once very afraid that Sister Dan would suffer a loss when she went to Rouran.
Shi Xiujin also went to the emperor's place to cry a few times. He relied on his childhood with the emperor and even threw a splash in the Huangji Palace.
But Ji Du really invited the marriage for this matter, and Sister Dan nodded.
The girl was determined to marry, and even if Shi Xiaosi cried and broke the small tiles in front of the Huangji Palace, it would be useless.
In the end, he could not help but send the girl to get married.
He had just returned from Rouran, and I heard that Goro and the others were going to Xiling.
Shi Xiaosi, who was as idle as a monkey, was not willing to miss such an opportunity, so he had to follow him.
However, Shi Xiaosi was not entirely beneficial. With him along the way, he naturally laughed and said a lot more.
After entering the Pingxi Marquis Mansion, the ladies and ladies of each room were already greeted at the second gate.
The old lady had only seen the prince's wife Rong and Su Yan who had entered Beijing, so she allowed them to introduce all the wives and ladies from other rooms.
After seeing each other's rituals, Rong led them to the living courtyard.
I took a shower and changed my shirt first, and when I was cleaned up, the woman took her to the flower hall for a banquet.
The people of Xiling are open-minded and do not care about trivial matters.
So the men and women in the family gathered together, and were not separated by screens. They just wanted to facilitate drinking. Men and women were at a table, and young wives and ladies sat at a table.
Cui Ling and Wulang were all following Pingxi Hou to sit on the main table because they came from afar, and there was no difference between men and women.
The Marquis of Pingxi was particularly happy and raised the boss, a big cup filled with wine, and said to everyone, "Come on, my sister, nephew, grandson and his family came from Shengjing City from afar. This is the happiest thing for me in the past ten years. The children and grandchildren of the Su family poured the wine in the bowl for me, and then to pay tribute to me!"
He raised his head and drank a bowl of wine in one go, laughing loudly, "Drink!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
