Chapter five hundred and sixty eight: Homecoming
morning.
Outside the north gate of Beishan Fort, the team stopped. A personal soldier came to Wu Nian's carriage and bent down and said, "General. Beishan Fort has arrived."
Inside the carriage, Wu Nian said "hmm", lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and then helped Liu Xiang, who was holding her son, get off the carriage.
Wu Nian looked up at Beishan Fort in front of him.
It is not the dilapidated Beishan Fort, but the Beishan Fort with a strong wall. Standing on the earth, it seems to be a mountain.
A flag with the word "Wu" hung on the city gate, flying in the wind.
Wu, Chen, Wang Ruyan, Xiaohong, Zhang Zhen, Li Ya and others also got off the carriage and stood with Wu Nian and looked at Beishan Fort.
Although it was not long since I left here, it seemed like a long time had passed. The women showed a trance on their faces.
"Dad. I'll go home to have a look first." Li Ya was very lively and couldn't wait. She said to Wu Nian, then pinched the corner of her skirt, stepped on her slender legs, and ran to the city gate.
"Miss. Wait for us." Several little maids hurriedly chased after him.
"Uncle. I'll go and have a look." Zhang Zhen was worried about his cousin's safety, so he quickly said and chased after him.
"What a childhood sweetheart. Let me see, when will I give their marriage?" Wang Ruyan hugged her daughter Wu Wuyang and chuckled.
Chen and Wu looked at each other, and smiles were everywhere between their eyebrows.
"The marriage can be decided first. But when you get married, you have to wait until Ya'er is sixteen years old before you talk about it." The head of Wu Nian's family decided on this matter.
Although one is a nephew and the other is raising a daughter, the palms and backs of hands are all flesh.
But it is not good for girls to get married too early.
Let my nephew stay alone first.
Wu and Chen were a little confused. Isn’t it normal for this thirteen-year-old girl to get married? But since it was Wu Nian’s intention, they could only obey.
Wu Nian noticed that someone was greeting the city gate, and it was difficult to talk to the family and leave others alone.
He is not a domineering person.
I will not despise my fellow villagers just because I am now in charge of a mansion.
Surrounded by personal soldiers, Wu Nian made great strides towards the city gate.
"General." At the gate of the city, twenty or thirty people lined up in two rows and bent down to Wu Nian to salute.
"Everyone is not a gift." Wu Nian raised his hands and helped everyone. Then he glanced at everyone's faces one by one.
The person in charge is very familiar with him, Li Changyang, the current head of Beishan Fort.
The rest are familiar faces, some people are familiar with each other, but they can't name them anymore. They should be among the first military households in Beishan Fort, with a relatively large seniority.
As he pacified Yingqing Prefecture, many of the people in Beishan Fort who had migrated from other places had migrated away.
The Mangya Mountain City not far away has also been abandoned.
That mountain city was originally a fortress, without land, and could not support the population. It was just a special creation under special conditions.
The current Beishan Fort has a population of more than 5,000. Half of them are the original Beishan Fort military households.
"Yes." Everyone, led by Li Changyong, straightened their bodies.
Wu Nian smiled and said to two very familiar old men, "Uncle Zhang, Prince. How have you been doing these days?"
Uncle Zhang is called Zhang Chaoyong. He is in his forties this year, but he looks over fifty years old, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face. He is the same generation as Wu’s father.
The prince's name is Wang Youjun. He is over seventy years old this year. His head of silver hair is as old as snow. He is still using crutches, but his ears and ears are relatively sensitive.
The two had a good relationship with Wu's father. Even though Wu Nian was in charge of the family later and the Wu family was ruined, the two remained harmonious with the Wu family.
The same is true for the rest of familiar faces, all of whom are harmonious with the Wu family or have no evil relationships with Wu.
Zhang Chaoyong and Wang Youjun were both surprised and happy when they heard Wu Nian calling them.
Although they did not get into evil with Wu Nian before, they were just as good as a gambler and drunkard.
Unexpectedly, the drunkard and gambling ghost of those days passed the small flag, the general flag, the Baihu and other big figures of Beishan Fort, became a general, and was intimidated by Liaodong and known as the tiger in Liaodong?
Because they are close to the Wu family, they have received certain care from Wu Nian in their daily lives. Now, let alone the days are so nourishing.
But it's human favor.
If you don’t move around, you will have to be alienated.
Now that Wu Nian is in a high position and they are a little nervous in front of Wu Nian. After hearing Wu Nian's call, they were surprised and their original feelings came back.
"Little New Year. I'm lucky. I'm living a good life and I've become a little fatter." Wang Youjun rushed to answer, raised his head, his face full of glory, and the wrinkles on his face stretched a lot, looking younger.
"Yes. Xiao Nian. I'll thank you for your blessings. We've lived a good life." Zhang Chaoyong also smiled and nodded, looking at the honesty.
The two of them opened their mouths. The other elders surrounded them and spoke in a slight manner.
"Young New Year. You also know the days before. The small flag, the general flag, and the hundreds of households exploited the villagers. Every household was miserable. Now we are following you. Our days are so much better."
"Little New Year. This is all blessing for you. I have always known that I have always known that you will have a promising future. When you were born, your father dreamed of your grandfather. You are your treasure."
"Yes. Xiaonian. You are your treasure. The ancestors bless you. They will be very happy if you come back to worship your ancestors this time."
Wu Nian is not a person who likes to listen to flattery. But there is no way. These villagers are ignorant and will not say anything else, they can only say these good things.
And he felt that was not bad either.
This is the traditional Han people.
It is about success and return home in glory.
Even heroes like Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Xiang Yu of Western Chu are not immune to the vulgarity.
Wu Nian was very patient and talked to them, making people laugh. Everyone was also honored to rush to talk to Wu Nian.
Half an hour passed in this conversation.
Liu Xiang held her son with a look of pride. Our family was despised by others in the past. Now my brother is really glorious.
Wu Nian felt something was wrong, so he continued to talk. He looked up at the sky and said to the elders: "Uncle, uncle, master. It's almost noon. I'll prepare wine and food in the mansion, let's have a meal together. You guys and my personal soldiers first enter the fort."
"good."
Everyone smiled and agreed. It was second to those who were not allowed to eat, and they could have a meal with General Sui Han and could brag about their whole life.
Wu Nian nodded, smiled and asked his personal soldiers to take everyone and his family to the Wu Mansion. Then he glanced at Li Changyong and went to the former General Supplementary Han.
