Time flies, May is approaching midsummer, and there have been clouds and occasional drizzle for several days, suppressing the rising temperature. It was on such a day that the wedding convoy arrived in Luoyang, which lasted more than three months.
This is not only a matter of concern to Gai Jun, but also a major event for the Gai family in Dunhuang. My father and brother arrived at his home early.
There were more than twenty carriages loaded with goods, eight fine horses from the Western Regions, dozens of elite knights, nearly a hundred slaves, and a total of more than one hundred and fifty people. The Gaisi motorcade came in such a mighty manner that it attracted attention even under the emperor's feet.
Gai Yin jumped off his horse, first saluted Gai Hong and Gai Hui, and then said to Gai Jun: "Uncle from the small clan, I have no shortage of goods. Fortunately, I have lived up to my destiny."
"It's been a hard journey. Are you injured?" Gai Jun pressed Gai Yin's shoulders and asked. Not to mention the belongings he brought, the eight fine horses from the Western Regions alone were worth tens of millions. This was an extremely enviable figure.
, it is worth a greedy person risking his life for it.
Gai Yin smiled and said: "A few minor injuries, it doesn't matter."
It was definitely not as easy as what he said, but Gai Jun stopped asking. Some things were boring to say. His eyes turned to the two knights behind Gai Yin. He had noticed these two people early on.
The faces are all eight feet away. What is the concept of a man who is more than 1.8 meters in ancient times? He is about the same height as the modern two meters, just like standing out from the crowd. Gai Jun has the thinking of modern people, he has paid attention to nutritional intake since he was a child, and he only grew to seven feet.
Seven inches, he regretted this for a long time.
"Uncle Xiao Clan, they are my sworn brothers..."
As Gai Yin spoke, he called the two of them to his side. Three eight-foot tall men stood side by side, giving people endless visual impact.
Gai Jun cupped his fists at the two of them and then asked, "Who is Bao Wencai?"
The younger one among them replied: "I have met Mr. Gai."
Bao has a weak crown, his hair is simply tied up, and he has a rough appearance with clear outlines. His shoulders are particularly thick and slightly protruding. To exaggerate, he looks like an American football player wearing protective equipment.
"Then this is..." Gai Jun looked at the other person. He was in his early twenties, with a face as thick as a jujube, and a dignified appearance. His eyes were relatively thin due to his broad forehead, but his grace was not reduced at all, and his aura was still there.
Take it out.
"This is a new brother I met on the road. He is from Hedong. His surname is Guan Mingyu and his courtesy name is Yunchang..."
Gai Jun didn't understand a word of what was said next, and Guan Yu's name kept echoing in his mind.
Wu Sheng——
Emperor——
Buddha--
Is he the brother of my nephew? Then I am his uncle?
Gai Jun quickly came to his senses. Historically, Guan Yu was famous for "treating his soldiers well and being proud of the scholar-bureaucrats." He must have been oppressed by a wealthy family when he was young. He must not be rude to be one of them.
"You two are Bo Si's brothers, so you are not outsiders to me..."
"Brother..."
A sweet sound like an oriole coming out of the valley resounded in his ears. It was so familiar yet unfamiliar, which made Gai Jun startled. Following the sound, a pretty and tall girl came slowly on horseback, looking at him with tears in her eyes and a smile.
Hold him.
"Xiao He'er..." Gai Jun took two steps forward, blinked in disbelief, and turned to look at Gai Yin. Gai Yin dodged and did not dare to look at him, looking like he was a thief.
"Okay, Bo Si! Do you dare to deceive me with Xiao He'er? Just wait..."
Gai Liao got off his horse and plunged into his arms.
Maybe Gai Liao hugged her too hard, Gai Jun felt softness on his chest, his hands were hanging in the air helplessly, and he said awkwardly: "After three years of separation, my sister has grown up, and she no longer drags her behind me.
Snot-nosed kid!”
"I didn't have a snot! Brother... I miss you so much! I miss you every day and every night... wu wu..."
"Brother, I miss you too! I thought it would be a few more months before I see you, but you gave me a big surprise!" Listening to what A-mei said, the embarrassment in Gai Jun's heart instantly evaporated.
"She is my most beloved sister! She is a treasure worth protecting with my life!" Thinking of this, his eyes were wet, and he put his hands on his sister's back and hugged her tightly.
When Er Cong's father and brother saw his brother and sister hugging each other and crying, they did not want to disturb them and ordered the convoy to enter the house in an orderly manner. Gai Yin took his wife A Bai's hand and walked in while introducing her to the two newly acquainted brothers of the opposite sex.
Gai Liao cried for a while, then suddenly started to squirm: "Brother... don't cry, everyone is watching."
Were you the one who cried first? Gai Jun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He took out a clean towel and said, "Look at you, you're almost crying like a little cat."
Gai Liao wrinkled his nose and said angrily: "You are the little cat..."
I was so excited just now that I didn't take a closer look. When I wiped away the tears on A-mei's face, a beautiful face like a peach blossom with dew immediately appeared.
Gai Jun compared her height and said: "How tall were you when I left? Now you are seven feet tall? You will soon catch up with your sister-in-law." In an era when the average height of men is seven feet, a woman can be this tall.
, very rare. It seems that he is also responsible for it. He made all A-mei’s recipes.
Gai Liao asked: "Is sister-in-law taller than me?"
"Yeah. She's an inch taller than you."
Gai Liao put on a childish and seductive look and asked, "Is she as beautiful as me?"
"What do children know?" Gai Jun gave her a shudder without politeness.
Gai Liao covered his head with his hands and grinned, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth: "I'm not a child anymore."
Gai Jun smiled and sighed: "Yes! My sister is fourteen years old this year...it's almost time to get married! Do you have a sweetheart yet?"
Gai Liao blushed and shouted, "Brother, what are you talking about!"
Gai Jun took her hand and walked home, jokingly saying, "My sister is so beautiful, are you afraid that all the people asking for marriage will step down on the threshold of the house?"
Gai Liao lowered his head and complained: "It's been getting more and more since last year. It's really annoying."
"You don't even like me?"
Gai Liao sighed in a pretentious manner: "Who made my brother a great hero? Compared to this, all of them are mediocre."
"You..." Gai Jun stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead.
"It is." Gai Liao looked around the courtyard and said, "This garden is not small. It was given to you by "Yuan Benzhu, a model in the world"?"
Gai Jun nodded lightly and heard Gai Liao continue: "When you marry, you should marry someone like Yuan Benchu and my brother."
Gai Jun smiled and said: "Is it shameful or not?"
"Why don't you worship Wu, Wu? Yes, it was given by Wuliang teacher." Gai Liao clasped his hands together and bowed: "My father intends to choose Yan Shibo's second son as my son-in-law. Brother... you have to help me...
…”
"Not satisfied?" Yan Zhong is very knowledgeable, so his son shouldn't be too bad? Could it be that he is the father of a tiger and the son of a dog?
Gai Liao curled his lips and said, "It's just an appearance, not as good as brother's case."
"Okay, I'll go back for you. Although I'm sorry to Yan Shibo, my sister doesn't want to marry, and no one can force her." Gai Jun nodded. His current reputation is enough to speak for himself in the family. Otherwise, even if he is the eldest son,
, and has no right to speak. The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers have been like this since ancient times.
Gai Liao smiled sweetly, his little tiger teeth looming: "Thank you, brother! I know that brother loves me the most."
"Silly girl, I only have a sister like you. If I don't care for you, who will I care for?"
