Everyone is deeply afraid of the unknown, and everyone is the same when facing this case of the Yin family.
If you remain undecided, you will feel uneasy!
In the end, Qi Yu agreed with Yin Jun's point of view and put the marriage aside for the time being, waiting to talk about it later when the clouds cleared up.
Yes, the case cannot always hang around. Sooner or later it will be closed. On this point, the two of them have the same view.
After chatting for a while, Yin Jun stood up and left.
Before leaving, he specifically turned around and said, "I said, I gave you a gift today, and I didn't even ask to stay for a casual meal."
Qi Yu pointed to the kitchen and said with a smile: "The leftovers from lunch are still warm in there, do you want to eat them?"
"Then, let's forget it."
"..."
After Yin Jun left, Qi Yu wrote another letter home overnight, informing his family that he was about to return to his hometown, and of course, he also wanted to report that he was safe.
The messenger can move faster than himself and can deliver the message in advance.
Costly?
Qi Yu is willing!
He just wanted everyone in his family to know about it and be happy.
…
Three days passed by in a flash, and finally the day came to board the ship.
Just as the sun was rising, Qi Yu picked up the luggage basket and went to the dock, and then boarded the passenger ship smoothly.
start sailing!
The passenger ship goes south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is quite fast in terms of speed.
Qi Yu had already planned his return route. He would first go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, then change to another boat and sail up the Yangtze River. When he reached the border with the provincial capital, he would then take the overland route to his home.
The sun rises and sets, and time passes day by day.
Qi Yu moved forward according to the plan, and there were no mistakes along the way.
very smooth.
On this day, we finally approached Yongchuan Mansion. Qi Yu made a special stop at the inn, changed into his formal Jinshi uniform, and then rented a van and continued on the road.
Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade clothes at night.
Is vanity at work?
Maybe!
Qi Dalang is also an ordinary person, and he is still far from the profound state of being indifferent to fame and wealth!
Ta-ta-ta...
As the carriage gradually moved forward, Yongchuan Fucheng gradually became clearer in the field of vision.
Qi Yuliao looked at his hometown with emotion in his heart.
This time around, it can be said that everything is completely different.
The biggest thing is mood.
I recall that when I went to Beijing to take the exam a few years ago, it was the middle of winter. I endured the severe cold and went all the way north, and the pressure before the exam made me breathless.
Now it is time to return home after winning the gold medal, and the season has turned from dry to prosperous to midsummer. The joy after being admitted makes me wake up laughing in my sleep.
Fucheng has arrived.
Just as he was about to enter the city, he suddenly saw a gatekeeper coming over. He said, "May I ask, sir, if you are Master Qi Yuqi?"
"Exactly, what's the matter?" Qi Yu nodded and said.
The clerk hurriedly saluted and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mr. Qi on being admitted to the Three Tripods, and picking the third flower in the Golden Palace!"
oh?
It seems that the imperial report has already arrived. Otherwise, how could this little official know such details?
Of course, I am currently wearing a Jinshi uniform, so anyone would have guessed 70% to 80%.
Qi Yu got out of the car, held up his hand, and said kindly: "Thank you for your words, little brother. You can use this little money to drink tea."
But the clerk hurriedly withdrew his hand, as if he didn't dare to ask for it, and said hurriedly: "Master Qi, this is a shameful villain. Ahem, I have been ordered by Master Yu to wait for you here."
"oh?"
Qi Yu was startled, he was on leave to return home, how did Mr. Yu know?
The clerk explained that it was his aunt Zhou who spread the news, so Mr. Yu had heard about it.
As for why he stopped him, the clerk also told the reason.
It turned out that Yu Hai had told him that if he saw him, he must get off the bus at the city gate, then ride on a five-flowered horse and parade through the streets into the city under the official guard of honor, so that the people could admire his face.
Oh I got it.
After explaining the reason, the clerk ran to report it.
Qi Yu started to think about it on the spot.
Why is Mr. Yu so polite?
Haha, I figured it out.
Doesn't this horse-riding parade also promote his outstanding cultural and educational achievements? You know, Yongchuan Mansion has not produced a Jinshi for ten years, and now it suddenly cultivates a third-level scholar, how can the chief official not show off?
Also, Dingjia's Tanhua will definitely be a Beijing official, and if a local official can get a connection with a Beijing official, it can be said to have many benefits. This is what is often said, "There is someone above us."
Qi Yu thought for a while and decided that it would be better to obey orders than to be respectful.
About one stick of incense has passed.
Suddenly, a guard of honor was approaching from the city, and Mr. Yu took the lead and walked at the front of the team.
Qi Yu hurriedly took a few steps forward to show respect.
Mr. Yu still looks very shrewd. At this time, he seems to be a little more friendly than before: "Brother Shaocheng, are you okay? Brother Yu has learned about your return home.
I have been waiting for you day and night, and today I finally have you back."
Brother?
Why has the name changed?
Haha, isn’t this too obvious?
Qi Yu smiled and said, "My lord, I'm thinking of you. I'm fine lately."
Lord Yu saw that it was getting late, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he arranged the ceremony and urged Qi Yu to enter the city.
Get going!
Along the way, gongs and drums were beaten, and the people on both sides cheered, making the atmosphere as festive as the New Year.
"Master Qi is very talented..."
"Master Qi has won glory for us as Yongchuan people..."
"..."
Qi Yu rides a tall horse, wears Jinshi uniform, and holds a locust tree wat in his hand, showing his unparalleled elegance.
He walked up and down, sometimes saluting the village elders, sometimes greeting the women and children, without any arrogance like leaping behind the dragon gate.
Master Yu also took the opportunity to show off his presence, and his staff were generous with their praises, constantly following the trend along the way, almost stealing the limelight from the protagonist.
According to Qi Yu's intention, he should go home directly after entering the city, but Master Yu didn't think so. He suggested that at least he should circle around the city and then go home.
Forget it, let’s just follow Master Yu’s advice.
After going around in a circle, we finally turned back on the road home.
Home is getting closer and closer in the field of vision, and it is gradually becoming clearer.
ah!
My loved ones whom I miss day and night!
Finally meet you!
In front of the front door of his house, there was a large group of people gathered.
Looking closer, I saw the lady wiping her tears with joy, the mother looking proud and happy, the daughter Xiaotong dancing happily with her hands in her hands, but the son Qi Xiao looking stunned and dumbfounded.
There it is.
In addition to family members, there are also relatives who are with us.
There were father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, uncle's family, second aunt and cousin, as well as sister and brother-in-law. They all came over after hearing the news.
All the relatives looked watchful, they were crying and laughing, showing their true feelings, which made Qi Yu feel a sudden warmth in his heart.
Home is so warm and sweet.
This feeling cannot be exchanged for any amount of high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Qi Yu tried his best to put on a smile, but he still couldn't help but shed a few tears.
"Ms. sir!"
Liu Quan could no longer remain reserved, she lifted up her skirt and trotted over.
"Madam, please run slowly!"
Qi Yu hurriedly dismounted, then opened his arms and gave the person he loved the most an affectionate bear hug.
Then, the couple stood there, staring at each other, but didn't know what to say.
