Chapter 9 Returning to Hometown with Glory

After entering Qiuyang County, the group arrived in Qingchuan soon. This was not because the officials deliberately took this path, but because Qingchuan was indeed a shortcut to Qiuyang County.

Qingchuan is the place where Chen Chen was born. Early this morning, the Qingchuan officials had already crossed the roads on both sides, waiting for the arrival of the people.

When the group arrived, the people were jubilant and drums kept ringing, and among these people, there were many neighbors who watched Chen Chen grow up.

Although he passed by Qingchuan, Chen Chen felt a little emotional. Compared with ordinary people, he had a complete memory at birth. He lived a leisurely life for more than ten years and recalled many memories. The streets and alleys are everywhere. Traces of walking.

If it were in the past, he would have stopped and chatted with others. However, now he is in a military career, and has a heavy responsibility and shoulders a heavy burden. He can only ride on a horse and nod to his neighbors. But just that, he has already sent a crowd. The people who met Chen Chen were very proud.

Murong Yao was also very touched. On this mountain, her parents were killed by bandits, and she was rescued by Chen Chen. It was just because of time that she could not go to the cemetery to worship her parents.

After passing Qingchuan, after a few days of journey, we finally arrived in Qiuyang County.

Outside Qiuyang County, the county magistrate Zhou Tai and many officials had long been standing outside the county town. Naturally, there were tens of thousands of people on both sides of the avenue.

Such a situation reminds people of the sudden capture of the Lone Wolf Valley after Chen Chen became the chief lieutenant, and then swept the Shuilong Village. At that time, Zhou Tai went out of the city to greet him twice, and the young man was famous for a while.

Now, Zhou Tai is greeted by officials again, and his face is a little more radiant and excited. He values ​​the Shen family very much, especially Chen Xuyuan has repeatedly promoted him.

Chen Xuyuan was naturally also in the team. After being promoted to the county magistrate counselor at the beginning of this year, he officially took over as the county magistrate and became a senior official who was second only to the county magistrate among civil servants. The Shen family was The status of the county town is also more solid.

As Chen Chen's uncle, he knew the secret orders he received. He naturally has been worried about the past six months, and now he finally feels at ease.

Generals such as Guan Duwei Li Jian, who had a deep friendship with Shen Chen back then, were all full of energy.

In contrast, the Daduwei Nian Feihu and the Yuduwei Kuang Shu were a little more emotional.

As subordinates of the Xiahou Army, they made things difficult for Chen Chen. Although their relationship eased after the Battle of Qiandao Village, it was somewhat embarrassing to see each other again.

After many calls, a group of people appeared on the road in a mighty manner. Zhou Tai did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led all the officials forward, rushed to the front of the team, and first met with Minister Zhang and other officials.

Then the group entered the city and headed straight to Chen Mansion, and Chen Xuyuan had already sent someone back to report.

As early as halfway, Chen Chen told Mr. Zhang that Empress Dowager Wen would go to his home, and Mr. Zhang would not object. Moreover, after Empress Dowager Wen arrived in Zhongtu, she ran all the way and went to her adopted son. It is reasonable to stay in the house for a few days.

Besides, if you want to get to Bazhou Imperial City from Qiuyang County, the distance is not close, so you don’t care about these few days.

Outside the mansion of Chen Mansion, grandpa Chen Dinghai, mother Chen Qiuyue, Chen Xuyuan's wife and his group of servants had been waiting outside the mansion outside the mansion.

Chen Dinghai, who is over 60 years old, still has a thin face, but his face is rosy and his eyes are bright. Although he is no longer an official, his authority remains. His grandson, who has been repeatedly scolded, now has such achievements, which makes him feel very happy. pride.

In fact, the Shen family is today because of Chen Chen's efforts. He rescued Chen Xuyuan with the help of Mr. Fan, and then pushed down the magistrate of An, from the county town to the county town. In his lifetime, he could see him. The Shen family's family is already full of emotion. At the beginning of this year, Chen Xuyuan's newly married wife gave birth to Lin'er and added a new child to the Shen family, which also made him extremely happy. Now the good news of his grandson has come. , it naturally made him more excited.

Chen Qiuyue, who is in her early thirties, looks like an eighteen woman, has a beautiful appearance and a beautiful temperament, and is even more luxurious and delicate. She has a half joy and half sorrow in her face. She is happy that she doesn't have to worry about her son anymore, but she is worried that she has not seen her with her own eyes. When my son came back, he still couldn't let it go.

In addition to the Shen family, Chen Jing also arrived at the Chen Mansion early. His niece Murong Yao followed Chen Chen to the border. After half a year of vagueness, he often missed him. Now that he has news, he has come to meet him.

In addition to my family, there are some relatives of the Shen family. The Shen family has settled in Qingchuan for 300 years. Although the population is not strong, it is considered to be a scattered branch.

In fact, there are many young and handsome people among the relatives of the Shen family. However, in the past, the Shen family was only in Qingchuan, and there were only a few official positions in Qingchuan City, so even if Chen Dinghai is in power, it is not easy to help. Errands.

Therefore, it is often the holidays, and relatives come to visit, but never ask for help. Until a few years ago, Chen Xuyuan took the position of county magistrate counselor, and Chen Chen defeated the water thief and became famous. His relatives were all over the country. Then came to rely on it.

In fact, it is understandable to find a job for your own family. Of course, it does not mean to be nepotist. If you are not tactful and have insufficient abilities, you will never make arrangements. Those who are capable and have upright personality will be the same. We tried our best to arrange some positions to benefit the people, and the power of the Shen family has also been greatly enhanced.

When Chen Chen and his group finally appeared in sight, Empress Dowager Wen got off the carriage, and Chen Dinghai led the whole family to pay homage to Mr. Zhang and Empress Dowager Wen.

After all, Chen Dinghai was a county magistrate, and the etiquette was comprehensive. When Empress Dowager Wen saw Chen Qiuyue, she couldn't help but whisper: "How could there be such a person..."

Chen Chen knew that what she was talking about was Concubine Lian, but he didn't expect that his mother really looked like Concubine Lian.

Zhang Xiaoxiang said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has been working hard all the way, thank you for your hard work, it's not too early, so I will say goodbye first and come to visit you tomorrow."

"I have a hard time seeing you off all the way." Empress Dowager Wen nodded and said.

Zhang Xiaoxiang said to the Qinglan State official who was accompanying him: "There were originally other museums in the county, but they were a little far from the Shen Mansion, so I specially invited the people from several large houses around the Shen Mansion to stay in another museum for a while. The place is used to entertain you, please don’t mind.”

"Mr. Zhang is so thoughtful, I am deeply grateful." Empress Dowager Wen praised.

So Zhang Xiaoxiang and others left first. After all, he was just a minister of the Ministry of Personnel and did not have the status of discussing state affairs with the Empress Dowager, so he would not stay.

Other officials from Qinglan Country moved into the surrounding residential houses one by one. In fact, these residential houses are quite spacious. In addition, it is spring now, and the wind is gentle, so it is easy to live.

More importantly, the officials accompanying him arrived in the Middle Land for the first time from his mother's womb. In the past, when they were in the city, they looked out of the mountains and wilderness, and at night, they were filled with the sound of wolf howling beasts.

But here, looking around, the mountains are a long distance from Juncheng, and there is a river passing by outside the city, and the scenery is very different from that in the barbarian mountains.

"The child is back." Chen Chen walked to his family, bowed deeply, and said.

Chen Dinghai smiled with his beard and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet, while Chen Qiuyue could no longer stop her longing. She had tears in her eyes. She pressed her son's shoulders and looked up and down carefully to see if she had any feelings. Injured.

Murong Yao also walked to her uncle and greeted her.

Xiao Die stood aside, tilting her little head and rolling her eyes. She had long wanted to come to the Shen family. Now the time is right, so she must be liked by Chen Qiuyue.

At this time, Chen Chen formally introduced his family to Queen Mother Wen. Queen Mother Wen took Chen Qiuyue's hand affectionately and sighed: "Chen'er looks like Prince Ding, so I wonder if her mother will look like me." Sister Lian Fei, I don’t want to be told that my sister and Lian Fei really have a nine-point similarity. If Lian Fei is still alive, you two stand together like this, I’m afraid that no one can tell the difference, and I think it’s the cousin who is born together. Woolen cloth."

Chen Qiuyue was born smart. Although she didn't know who Lian Fei was in this sentence, she could guess some of it from the words, and said modestly: "The Queen Mother is too rewarded, and she is a mediocre person, so how dare she be compared with the concubines of your country. ”

Empress Dowager Wen smiled and said, "My sister is too humble. I think her sister is born noble and not like a commoner. Speaking of which, since I am Chen'er's adopted mother, you are her biological mother, so you don't have to be so polite. Call me Sister Sheng. That's good."

"I'm afraid this is not polite..." Chen Qiuyue hesitated a little.

Chen Chen said, "Mom, mother is so kind, you don't have to stick to it anymore. She will not suffer any loss when she calls out to her sister."

Queen Mother Wen smiled and said, "Chen'er said it very well. Is it because it is an enemy country, and my sister still has some thoughts?"

Chen Qiuyue had no choice but to call her sister. Empress Dowager Wen was overjoyed and took her to the insider of the mansion.

Chen Xuyuan could understand and said in a sensation: "I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Wen was so gentle and had no airs at all. When I heard that she was going to live in the mansion for a few days, I still screamed, I didn't know what to do. What about serving.”

Chen Chen smiled and said, "Uncle is too worried, how could Chen'er throw away the big problems at home? If the empress dowager is not easy to serve, I will definitely think of thousands of reasons not to let her get started."

"Shh, wouldn't it be troublesome if the Empress Dowager hears you?" Chen Dinghai couldn't help but glar at him, saying that this grandson didn't know how to behave.

Chen Chen smiled and showed a bit of naughty appearance when he was young. Only in front of his family could he completely let go of his guard. If he was outside, it would be impossible to say such a thing as being caught by someone.

At this time, Chen Dinghai suddenly saw Xiao Die behind him and said suspiciously: "This lady is..."
