Chapter two hundred and eighty third sunny day after rain
The rain has stopped, and the eldest brother Qin Sheng finally arrived in Luoyang. The group of people still took the south road, taking Xuanyang Gate to enter the city; returning to Beijing from Huainan, it is indeed closer to Yingshui Rushui. Qin Liang
He personally took people to greet him at the city gate.
Qin Sheng collected several people in Lujiang County and brought them to Luoyang. One of them Qin Liang also knew, Tao Wen, the magistrate of Lu'an County, was said to be a descendant of Tao Qian. This magistrate was originally a subordinate of Qin Liang.
Qin Liang didn't know how he got together with his eldest brother.
The group returned to General Wei's Mansion in the northeast of Luoyang. The sister-in-law got off the carriage and immediately grabbed Qin Liang's arm excitedly and looked him up and down.
At the city gate before, Qin Liang always felt that something was missing. Then he finally realized that he had not said a few words to his sister-in-law. There were probably too many people at the city gate, so Zhang was a little embarrassed, so he behaved relatively calmly.
At this moment her face was red with emotion.
Mrs. Zhang looked at him carefully as if she didn't recognize Qin Liang anymore and said: "Erlang, I don't know what everyone said. I will tell you slowly later that you are too powerful! I thought our Qin family was doomed this time."
It’s hard to escape, I really didn’t expect it!”
When she said this, she had tears in her eyes and almost cried.
Qin Liang said hurriedly: "It's my fault to worry my sister-in-law, but there was really nothing I could do about it at the time."
Zhang choked up and said: "It's good to get over it. Zhong Ming is really capable! We can win this way."
Qin Liang smiled and comforted: "There should be no such scary situations in the future."
In fact, my sister-in-law is quite beautiful and not too old. Qin Liang still couldn't get used to the sudden physical contact, so he looked at his eldest brother awkwardly.
The eldest brother said: "Your sister-in-law is just like this. Zhongming doesn't need to see her outside."
Mrs. Zhang finally realized what she was doing, and finally let go of Qin Liang, saying, "What are you looking for? How tall was Zhong Ming when I married into the Qin family?"
Qin Liang said: "Your Majesty has prepared a small banquet. Let's go over first and sit down to talk."
The three adults, plus the two nephews, walked all the way along the corridor. Zhang asked again: "I heard that Zhongming gave Brother Ru'a the official position of General of the Middle Base. Does that mean he becomes a general?"
When the eldest brother heard this, he also said: "I have only served as a county captain in Pingyuan County. I didn't have many people under my command. Now I am in charge of more than 20,000 troops. Will it ruin Zhongming's important affairs?"
"More than 20,000 troops?" Zhang's eyes widened.
Qin Liang looked back and said softly: "How old and capable was Cao Xun in the past? Didn't General Wu Wei do a good job? I believe in the talents of my eldest brother."
In this kind of position, the most important thing is that one of you has the military power. In specific matters, you also need the help of assistant officers and generals. The eldest brother is literate and practiced martial arts. He is not a stupid person. He gradually understands how to handle military affairs. Qin Liang even felt that,
The eldest brother may do a better job as a general than Wang Guang, although Wang Guang comes from a wealthy family and is indeed well-informed.
Qin Liang said: "Deng Yang has a big mansion in Luoyang. I kept it for my eldest brother. He can go and have a look in the afternoon. If he doesn't like it, we can find another one. Cao Shuang's confidants were killed several times. First, he
It was occupied by the Sima family, and now the Sima family is gone, leaving a lot of houses and land."
He thought for a while and then said: "The land near Luoyang, except for the public farmland, everyone is watching, and not much can be divided. However, in Hanoi County on the other side of the river, the Sima family's manor is a large area. I will ask for some from my eldest brother in a while.
Manor. Anyway, if we don’t want anything, it will soon be annexed by another family. Sister-in-law, don’t worry, it won’t be less land than our two manors in Pingyuan County.”
The eldest brother sighed: "When my mother was dying, she told me to take good care of Zhongming, but now it's the other way around. Whether in Lujiang County or Luoyang, Zhongming had already prepared everything, including official position and residence, as soon as I arrived.
Residence, manor."
Qin Liang said: "We are all family members, no matter who takes care of others. I am not a child."
The eldest brother nodded and said, "Fortunately, I have married Zhongming Zhangluo, and my mother's wish has been fulfilled."
Zhang said: "My beard has grown out, Erlang is indeed an adult."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is right. If you have a hairless mouth, you will not be able to do things well. You need some beard." He continued, "It's just a simple family dinner. My uncle Wang Gongyuan and his wife will also come to the banquet later.
.The Wang family can all drink. The eldest brother will accompany him to drink a few more drinks. You know that my drinking capacity is not very good."
Mrs. Zhang smiled disapprovingly and said, "Don't worry, Erlang. When Brother Ru was the county captain, none of us could drink him. But the Wang family still looks down on us a little, and they didn't even ask us to come with them when they left."
The eldest brother immediately said: "It's not like we can't find the way, so why do we have to go together? We must not let others listen to this kind of talk. The Wang family treats us well."
Zhang said: "I have heard that the victory over the Sima family depends entirely on our family Zhongming. Zhongming is also worthy of the Wang family."
The group entered the gatehouse of the inner house. Mrs. Zhang suddenly stood on the spot, looking at the scenery in front of her with wide eyes. The two nephews also made a sound of exclamation. The younger one ran and jumped happily until he was caught by the elder brother.
Take a drink.
Not far away is an open hall on a high platform, where today's family banquet will be held. As far as the eye can see, there are pools, streams, wooden and stone arch bridges, rockery and vegetation, pavilions and attics, and antique houses are even more scattered.
Zhang glanced at Qin Liang and said, "The mansion in Luoyang is pretty good. It's really not something you can see in Pingyuan County."
Qin Liang said: "This used to be the general's palace, and Cao Zhaobo spent a lot of money on craftsmen."
Your Majesty and your maid also came out to welcome you. She bowed deeply and bowed to you. After your eldest brother and sister-in-law returned the courtesy to her, your two nephews also came forward and bowed to you and called you aunt. Mrs. Zhang immediately grabbed your Majesty affectionately.
They held hands and came together. Brother Qin Liang talked about the affairs of Lujiang County.
After Qin Sheng left Lu'an, the seal was given to Lujiang Captain Lao Kun. Yangzhou was still completely under the control of the Wang family.
The two families came to the platform hall. It was sunny after the rain. They were at a high place and had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. The roof of this kind of high platform is supported by pillars. The surroundings are open, the sight is wide, and the breeze blows.
People have a feeling of wanting to recite poems and compose poems. This kind of building is very unique, and Qin Liang has never seen it in the ancient cities of later generations.
Qin Liang thought about it, and after a while he would bring back some of Cao Shuang's former singers and dancers, so that they could eat, watch the scenery, and watch dancing and singing here. It would probably feel good.
After a while, the maid reported that Wang Gongyuan and his wife had also arrived. So Qin Liang and Ling Jun went downstairs and went to the front hall to greet them.
Zhuge Shu, who looked serious, smiled immediately when he saw Qin Liang and Ling Jun. The situation of her father-in-law's continued marriage was also a bit strange. The bride's relationship with Wang Guang seemed to be average, and she was almost divorced. Instead, she married her stepdaughter and son-in-law.
