As expected, Qin Liang received an urgent report from Hu Zhi within two days. Shi Bao had abandoned his army in Qiao County, Yuzhou and had fled. Hu Zhizheng sent someone to issue a military order to transfer the Xuzhou army back to its base.
At this time, the team escorting Sima Zhao also arrived in Luoyang, and Sima Zhao was sent directly to Tingwei Prison. The Wang family also came to Luoyang together; but Wang's husband Guo Huai naturally would not leave his post without permission.
Go together.
Wang Ling and other members of the Wang family have not arrived in Luoyang yet, but they are probably arriving soon.
The third uncle, Wang Jinhu, is the current owner of the Wang family's residence, and he is also slightly senior. Therefore, the person who receives the Wang family is Wang Jinhu. Qin Liang, who lives in the Wang family's residence, is only considered a relative at the banquet, but Qin Liang
He often lives in the Wang family's mansion and seems to be closer to him.
No singer or dancer was invited to perform at the family banquet. After all, Mrs. Xue's memorial tablet had not yet been evacuated from the front hall courtyard, and her filial son, who was several years old, was still in mourning.
Although Wang Ling, Wang Guang, Wang Mingshan and many others have not arrived yet, there are still more than a dozen people at the family banquet to welcome the Wang family. In addition to Wang Jinhu, Qin Liang, Linghu Yu, there are also several female relatives, including Zhuge
Shu.
Wang Ling is not here, and my maternal aunt Wang is the highest-ranking elder, so everyone allows her to take the seat.
Seeing Wang's waist twisting slightly as she walked up to the top, Qin Liang could easily imagine her long legs under her dark clothes. Every time he saw his aunt in a crowded place, his feelings were always a bit complicated.
As soon as everyone sat down, grandma turned her head and looked at Qin Liang with a smile, and said to him: "I clearly said woods, not bamboo forests. There are not many bamboo forests in Taiyuan County."
Qin Liang didn't recover for a moment, but he quickly understood what Wang meant.
A few years ago, Cao Shuang conquered Shu, and Qin Liang also arrived in Chang'an. He met Wang for the first time. When chatting, Wang mentioned the house in her hometown in Qixian County, probably because she wanted to walk through a forest. She sometimes dreamed of it.
I can still dream about it.
More than a month ago, at the beginning of the army, Wang Ling and Qin Liang had sent letters everywhere, including the edict of the Queen Mother Guo, and invited the relevant princes to attack Sima Yi together. Regardless of whether it worked or not, there was no harm in trying it! Qin Liang also knew
Guo Huai was not very reliable, but he also wrote a letter to him; his maternal aunt Wang would probably be interested in the Wang family, so Qin Liang naturally also wrote a letter specifically.
There was some nostalgia in the letter, and it mentioned the forest that Wang mentioned. But Qin Liang's mind was not on it at the time, so he mistakenly thought that the forest was a bamboo forest.
At this moment, Qin Liang naturally remembered that there are more bamboo forests in the south and are also common in Luoyang at this time, but they should be less planted in Taiyuan.
He suddenly said: "Yes, I remembered it wrong."
With a smile, Wang looked at Qin Liang and nodded gently in response.
Grandma is Wang Ling's youngest sister. She looks little changed from three or four years ago. Qin Liang doesn't know her exact age, but she must be over forty now. There are no wrinkles on her face, and her face shape is relatively small.
She was round, with unobvious cheekbones, a small mouth, and a delicate chin. She must have been a beauty when she was young. Qin Liang still vaguely remembered what she looked like under her clothes, but when he thought of her identity, Qin Liang's mind became confused.
Wang's eyes are deep and the meaning in her smile is much richer than that of the young girl, as if many memories have been accumulated.
Qin Liang, who is young, understands Wang's state of mind. He has been born in two lifetimes, and his mental age is indeed much older. This is indeed the case for people. The longer they live, the more memories will be deposited in their hearts. If you don't pay attention to adjustment,
In life, it's easy to live in the past.
Qin Liang and Wang smiled knowingly, but the other relatives next to them were confused.
Wang then gave a general explanation to everyone and found the topic.
Qin Liang also said at the right time: "I have never been to the Wang family's old house, but my grandma said it very carefully, and it seems that I have been there. I remember that my grandma said that in the summer, there were mottled stones on the stone road.
Sunlight."
Wang smiled and said, "Zhong Ming has a very good memory."
The Wang family paid special attention to Qin Liang. Linghuyu and Wang Jinhu might have guessed the reason, and it was because of Guo Huai.
Xiahou Xuan had already sent a letter to Luoyang, explaining that at that time he and Xiahou Ba wanted to attack Sima Yi, but Guo Huai was wavering and stalling for time. Not only Ling Huyu and Wang Jinhu knew about this, but their second uncle Wang Feixiao had not left yet.
At the critical moment, Guo Huai, a relative, was unreliable. This reminded him of his in-law relationship. He asked Wang to follow the team to Luoyang. This was probably his intention.
Everyone knows it, and we just don’t want to reveal it. Because Wang is a woman, it is really difficult for her to influence Guo Huai’s decision, and the Wang family’s relatives can’t blame her.
Wang Jinhu also followed the topic and smiled: "Do you remember the sawing marks on the stone slab at the door of the hall?"
Linghuyu muttered: "Take it out again!"
Mrs. Wang glanced at Linghuyu and said, "Why don't I remember?" She then looked at Linghuyu's wife, Mrs. Zhang, "We had agreed before that when he got married, we would give him the stone slab.
Wife watches."
Mrs. Zhang asked Linghu Yu, "How come I haven't heard my husband talk about it?"
Wang Jinhu said: "Cousin, he is embarrassed, haha."
Wang said: "Gongmei (Wang Jinhu) was beaten, and he yelled that he was not as good as Linghuyu, an outsider who could bear grudges."
Several people laughed immediately, and other female relatives also laughed and smiled.
Linghuyu looked embarrassed, but in fact he might not care very much. After all, it was all a childhood thing of the Year of the Monkey.
At this time, Linghuyu said: "Yes, my aunt was still in Qi County, Taiyuan at that time, and she was not very young."
Wang glanced sideways at Qin Liang, then nodded to Linghuyu and said, "Although I am your elder, I am about the same age as your brothers."
Linghuyu suddenly said: "My aunt also said something like this! Once, my grandma only had one persimmon left and gave it to me. My aunt was not happy and said I was an outsider!"
When Qin Liang heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look up, as if he could vaguely imagine what his grandmother looked like before she left the cabinet.
Wang seemed to be paying attention to Qin Liang all the time. At this time, she looked sideways and said, "Zhong Ming, don't believe him. Why would I care about a persimmon?"
Linghuyu laughed "haha", and then sighed with emotion: "I remember it very clearly, it seems that it has not been long ago. But we are already in our forties."
Mrs. Bai also joined in the discussion and said: "When I met your second uncle in Qingzhou, he was already fifty. If he heard what you said, he might say that it is great to be in your forties."
Linghuyu showed a weird smile, nodded and said with a smile: "Madam, what you said makes sense!"
When Wang Ling was in his fifties, he could still get Mrs. Bai pregnant. He would probably feel that those were really good years. But now that Wang Ling is in his seventies, he has not been around women for many years and is probably no longer good. How can he
Comparable to forty or fifty years old?
Everyone drank and ate while talking about the past. Although we are all relatives, we grew up in different places. The most resonant thing is probably to talk about the old things we experienced together.
The hospitable Wang Jinhu kept toasting to his relatives, but Qin Liang suspected that he wanted to drink for himself.
After everyone drank, the hall became more and more lively, and the conversation became more and more animated. But the most neglected was not the lower-status concubines, but Wang Ling's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhuge Shu. The women may feel that now
Zhuge Shu is still the eldest daughter-in-law. It may not be certain when Wang Ling and Wang Guang come back in a few days.
Only Qin Liang would take the initiative to say a few words to Zhuge Shu from time to time.
Just like other banquets, people kept leaving and coming back during the banquet. Wang Jinhu and Linghuyu drank too much and had to go to the toilet from time to time. Some people would look at the scenery in the courtyard to get some fresh air.
Linghuyu went to the toilet at the banquet and called Qin Liang out of habit. The relationship between the uncle and nephew was better than before. In addition to the experience of fighting side by side, Qin Liang asked him not to blame Bi Shuang. He should be very
Appreciate.
Qin Liang discovered that Linghuyu was actually a person who was quite afraid of death. When Cao Shuang fell down before, he was so worried that he looked anxious and fearful, which was evident.
The uncle and nephew came out of the toilet, scooped water from the water tank outside the door and washed their hands. As soon as they walked to the corridor, they met Mr. Wang.
After the three of them had greeted each other, Wang said generously: "Gongzhi will go back to the hall first and drink with your cousin. He will be unhappy if he doesn't drink enough."
Linghuyu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Okay."
He should feel that when Wang came to Qin Liang, he must be talking about Guo Huai.
But after Linghu Yu left, the Wang family did not mention Guo Huai, and only said: "The Wang family is fortunate to have Zhong Ming to help us. When I heard the news, I was so happy that I cried twice. Zhong Ming is so kind to us."
.Thank God, the Wang family has finally overcome this hurdle!"
Qin Liang said hurriedly: "My servant and the Wang family are one in life and death. If the Wang family is gone, I won't be able to survive. How can there be any grudges?"
Wang said softly: "But I am very grateful to Zhongming in my heart. When I was still in the attic of Chang'an Governor's Mansion, I thought to myself that no matter what you ask me to do to repay your gratitude, I will do it willingly."
Qin Liang was stunned on the spot. Wang raised his head, looked up at his face silently, and then said: "But I can't do much as a woman."
Not surprisingly, Qin Liang followed Wang's words and thought of that kind of thing. The look of Wang's eyes closed at that time vaguely emerged in front of his eyes.
At first, Qin Liang insulted the Wang family because he was angry with Guo Huai, but now what Qin Liang cares about is not Guo Huai, but Lingjun. Although Lingjun doesn't care about him finding a woman, the relationship between the Wang family and the Wang family is also unclear.
It was too strange. So Qin Liang felt that it was not appropriate to continue to entangle with the Wang family.
At this moment, Wang blushed and whispered: "Where did Zhong Ming go? It won't be good if others see it later."
Only then did Qin Liang realize that the robe was a little strange. He took a deep breath and tidied it up awkwardly.
Wang glanced at him with a complicated expression and said, "Please don't think too much. I won't be able to stay in Luoyang for long before I have to go back to Chang'an."
When Qin Liang heard this, he didn't know whether she meant to let him have wild thoughts or the other way around. He could only say casually and politely: "It's rare for grandma to come back. I can stay here for a few more days."
Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "After the parents are gone, the natal family is no longer the woman's home. How can she live there for too long?"
