441 Schadenfreude

Qinghe Hou left Xianyang and returned to Nanyang to visit relatives!

The city gate just opened early this morning. Under the escort of the Imperial Guard of Weiwei, Wang Li, the son of Wang Ben of Tongwuhou, and Bai Zhen, the grandson of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, personally accompanied him. Chen Xu led hundreds of people away from the southern gate of Xianyang, crossed the Weihe Bridge and headed straight for Nanyang.

Chen Pingyingbu Sun Shujiong and the stewards of the Hou Mansion were sent to the outside of the city. When they heard the news, they also came to see him off. Fan Caiying, the female shopkeeper of the Huaxia Money House, Xu Fu, the Imperial Doctor Chief, Zai Hong, the Ministry of Works, Meng Yun, and a large number of people came spontaneously, among which the most were the group of disciples of the Hundred Schools, all of which were deeply grateful because Chen Xu stopped Li Si from burning books.

Seeing that Chen Xu's team had already gone far away, the people who saw him back to the city in groups of three or three.

Xu Fu got on the carriage and walked back, but met Meng Yi, who was riding a group of guards out of the city, so he could only get out of the car and greet him quickly.

"Doctor Xu, has the Marquis of Qinghe left?" Meng Yi looked at the crowd dispersing one after another and asked with a slightly ugly face.

"Yes, the Marquis of Qinghe has left. Could it be that Lord Meng is here to see him off?" Xu Fu asked in confusion.

"Hmph, the Marquis of Qinghe asked me to marry my daughter yesterday, but today I did not say goodbye. I heard that I would go home to get married, so where did I put my face on!" Meng Yi's face was very angry.

Xu Fu held his beard and looked at Meng Yi with a strange expression.

Meng Yi was a little furrowed all over when he was seen, and he stared at him and said, "Why is Doctor Xu looking at me like this?"

"Mr. Meng, Fu and Hou Qinghe have known each other for a long time. They know the nature of Hou Qinghe. According to Fu's understanding of Hou Qinghe, he will never ask you for marriage!" Xu Fu said lightly.

"Why did Doctor Xu say this? Do you think yesterday's incident was fabricated by me?" Meng Yi was furious.

"Hehe, why should Lord Meng be so artificial? I know the most about this. Fu still has something to do, so I won't disturb him!" Xu Fu saw Meng Yi angry, so he was too lazy to talk to him and was about to get in the car and leave.

"Doctor Xu stayed there. If you don't say it clearly today, how could I let you go!" Meng Yi rode a horse and stopped Xu Fu's carriage.

Xu Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Meng, may you really let Fu say it out? Once it is heard by Qinghe Hou, I am afraid that there will be a lot of embarrassment when we meet in the future!"

"Why is there any embarrassment? Humph, it's embarrassing that he doesn't marry a little girl!" Meng Yi said with a few twitches.

Seeing that Meng Yi was still unwilling to admit it and did not let him go, Xu Fu directly pointed out the topic and said: "Mr. Meng, you fabricated Qinghe Hou to propose marriage to you in person yesterday. Don't say that I don't believe this, and the civil and military officials in the court didn't believe it very much. Although the adult's daughter is smart, beautiful and famous in Xianyang, the last time the emperor gave the marriage, the fifth princess could not make Qinghe Hou moved. Don't say that you are only thirteen-year-old daughter. Qinghe Hou is not an ordinary person like us. How can you not tell the difference between the daughter of the Tian family and the daughter of Shangqing? Therefore, Qinghe Hou was just in the game and didn't remember it for a while!"

Meng Yi:...

After a half-minute silence, Meng Yi let the road go away dejectedly and sighed, "Doctor Xu asked for advice, it was me who took the liberty."

Xu Fu's eyes lit up and said, "So Lord Meng is indeed lying?"

Meng Yi twitched a few times and said, "The emperor wants to marry a daughter and he has to pay me a daughter, but what can I do to refuse?"

Xu Fu understood immediately and suddenly realized, and said, "So that's it!"

After saying that, Xu Fu quickly bowed and smiled and said, "Then congratulate Lord Meng. In a few months, when Qinghe Marquis returns to Xianyang, Lord Meng and Qinghe Marquis will become father-in-law and son-in-law. At that time, Fu will definitely come to the door to send gifts and congratulate him!"

"I thanked Doctor Xu in advance!" Meng Yi returned the gift with a little discouraged look.

"Your Majesty has no choice but to give a marriage to the point of controversy in Xianyang, so there must be a perfect result. Last time the fifth princess fell ill in Qinghe Garden, Fu was also forced to do it, but as a minister, we have to do it!" Xu Fu shook his head and said.

"It was the arrangement of His Majesty when the palace master fell ill last time?" Meng Yi's eyes widened.

Xu Fu nodded: "Yes! In order to make the princess and the marquis of Qinghe, you can fall in love with each other over time, and let Fu think of a way, so I asked the princess to pretend to be sick so that she could stay in Qinghe Garden. Unexpectedly, the princess actually wore a spring skirt in the cold sky, and she fell ill, which scared Fu in a cold sweat. But the situation was still the same later. The fifth princess stayed in Qinghe Garden for three days, but nothing happened to both of them. The scheming that time was wasted, which made me still feel guilty! "

"I don't know what kind of person the woman Qinghehou wants to marry when he goes back is, so he doesn't even look down on the women of the Tian family. If he comes back, he finds that he is not as beautiful as a little girl and has a gentle temperament than a princess, I must play him hard in the court!" Meng Yi said gritting his teeth.

"Mr. Meng, don't think too much. Miss Shui has seen her. She is well-educated, rational, beautiful, intelligent, gentle and virtuous. She is indeed a first-class woman in the world. She is also a disciple of Liezi, and she is very skilled in martial arts. Fu is afraid that the fifth princess and the adult's daughter will be bullied in the future. For the sake of her daughter's future and happiness, Fu should advise her to prepare a thick dowry as soon as possible!" Xu Fuxing said gloatingly.

Meng Yi:...

...

Che Zi and horses Xiao Xiao, escorted by the three hundred armored guards, Chen Xu leisurely followed the Wuguanchi Road to visit relatives. The huge team was neither anxious nor slow, and walked for a few hours a day, playing while walking, which was completely like traveling.

Now in February, it is the time for spring to bloom.

Wuguan Chi Road is located in Funiu Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains and peaks. The snow on the mountain melts, clear springs and streams flow, flying springs and waterfalls flow in the valley, tigers roaring, apes sing, birds sing in the deep stream, and there is a pleasant spring scenery.

Walking along the winding road, you can occasionally see some farm villages and grain fields, hidden in the depths of the mountains, one or two peach trees and a few apricot flowers, and the beauty is still in full bloom.

It is rare to go out for a long trip on weekdays, and it is so springy, so Chen Xu is not in a hurry. He stops and stops when he encounters a beautiful scenery, and sometimes he will set up a POSE, asking the accompanying personnel to gesture a box with his hands and say a click before he is willing to change the place.

Everyone was confused about the Marquis' inexplicable strange behavior, but as the Marquis' most loyal follower, it must be that the Marquis's doing whatever they say. So whenever Chen Xu stood in a place where the scenery felt beautiful, he immediately surrounded him and kept clattering in his mouth. Later, it became as if Chen Xu had walked, and there were also a little maid behind him placing the box and following him clattering along the way. So Chen Xu was very happy and gave them a lot of delicious food.

In addition to the servants and servants who were happy when they went out, of course, the most excited people were Bai Zhen and Wang Li. They rode their horses all the way to chase each other and shout loudly, and laughed loudly, holding bows and arrows everywhere to cause trouble for wild animals. Once they were hunted, they would come to Chen Xu with great enthusiasm, such as roasted deer, beef in the sauce, beef in the flower pheasant, lotus leaf roasted fish, garlic-flavored hare... Anyway, the Marquis could make all kinds of delicious food in different ways, so they often saw picnic sites left by the side of the road along the way. The post house used to replenish grain and horse materials along the way was also frustrated by such a large group of people. However, every time the Marquis left, they would leave them a few delicious delicacies, which would make the postmen in the post house taste for several days.

From Xianyang to Wancheng, Wuguan Road is almost a straight line in Funiu Mountain, less than a thousand miles away. He traveled all the way through Shangluo, Danfeng, Shangnan, and Xixia counties. These places are small mountain counties in remote and remote areas. The situation seems to be similar to that in Chi County. The local county magistrate, chief officials and merchants heard that Qinghehou passed by, and they all went out of the city to welcome and stay. Therefore, it took more than ten days for a group of people to stop and walk out of Funiu Mountain to reach Zhongxiang County.

And when we arrived here, there was a plain in front of us, and continued to the south was the land of Jingchu.

"We're finally going home!"

Chen Xu sat in the carriage and looked at the large area of ​​farmland along the way. At this time, the wheat seedlings were more than two feet high, green and green, and undulating with the wind. Many farmers were weeding in the fields. Seeing the passing teams and the flags of Qinghe Hou who were flew in the wind, many people knelt directly on the side of the road to cheer.

Although Chen Xu was not from Nanyang before traveling through time, when he arrived here, he actually felt extremely familiar with blood connection, as if this was the hometown he had lived in for a long time.

"Mr. Marquis, should you go directly to Qinghe Town or Wancheng?" Bai Zhen asked along the way.

"Since I'm back, I still have to go to Wancheng to have a look. The county magistrate Jiang Beiting is familiar with me, so it's not polite to pass by if I don't go and see it!" Chen Xu thought for a while and said.

"Yes, Marquis, I'll make arrangements now!" Bai Zhen nodded and ran forward, arranging the imperial guards to Wancheng with the token in hand to pass the news to prepare for the welcome.

Zhongxiang is less than 150 miles away from Wancheng, and there are flat roads along the way. The closer you get to Wancheng, the denser the population is. The fields are everywhere, and the roads are everywhere, and the villages along the way are told that it was Qinghe Hou and returned to their hometown, and countless people ran around and cheered.

Chen Xu's reputation is now at the peak of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he is also a native of Nanyang. Now he has become the hot marquis of the Great Qin Dynasty. Therefore, the entire Nanyang people are proud of the Qinghe Marquis. The people and officials passing by are all lined up on the roadside to welcome him. Therefore, the road is even slower, and they have been walking more than 100 miles for nearly three hours.

Wancheng was even more lively. After being circulated by the imperial guards, dozens of officials, including the county magistrate Jiangbeiting, the county magistrate Gao Yong, and the later appointed county magistrate and the censor who had served, all went out to welcome him ten miles away. The people of Wancheng even drove a car to welcome him twenty miles away. The merchants gathered in Wancheng became even more crazy. Thousands of people gathered together and took a car to Zhenping County thirty miles away.
