My country, you can pinch it

The Shang family's chariots and horses, which were considered light and easy, now pulled nearly ten more carriages forward, forming a mighty formation, which attracted the crowds along the road.

Fang Jinling was too busy thinking about it before, so he didn't take a good look at this car. Although the body has been reduced and the horses have been changed from one-wheel drive to two-wheel drive, the things inside are very comprehensive.

There was a small chest of drawers in the corner of the carriage. When it was opened, there were small things that Fang Jinling could use, as well as some snacks. Looking closely, they were all his favorite things these days. He squeezed one out of it. The raisins were put into his mouth, and the sweet taste made him curl his mouth involuntarily.

On the bottom layer of the chest of drawers, there are a few books, all of which are story books and miscellaneous notes, which are not tiring to read, and can be used to pass the time on the road.

The space is limited, but there is no stove, and the northwest road is difficult to walk. I am afraid that it will fall over when it is bumpy, and the hand stove is in his arms.

The four sides of the small table are wrapped with soft cushions, nailed to the bottom of the carriage, not afraid of knocking, and there is a comfortable quilt folded behind, which can be used as a soft back, and can also be spread out as a quilt cover, in short, it is very comprehensive and careful.

As Fang Jinling watched, his fingers brushed over everything, with mixed feelings in his heart. What appeared in front of his eyes was Liu Ke's smile, and his eyes looking at him from afar, sending him away.

For some reason, it was clearly not in front of my eyes, but those eyes became very clear. Fang Jinling warned himself not to think about the affection contained in them, but his thoughts were uncontrollable, and he returned to Yongliang involuntarily...

Suddenly the carriage stopped, and then the carriage door opened, and Qian Duojin came in.

Fang Jinling came back to his senses, and asked in surprise, "Third brother-in-law?"

"Hey, I've wanted to try this carriage for a long time. I was too embarrassed to come up when King Gang Ning saw him off. Now that we're out of town, Lingling, don't you mind my brother-in-law taking a ride?"

Although Qian Duojin asked, he had already got inside, and then he sat down on the other side of the small table, stretched his legs, and said, "Comfort!"

Fang Jinling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Of course I don't mind, as long as my brother-in-law doesn't feel crowded."

Qian Duojin didn't take it seriously, he looked around, clicked his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness Ning is really willing to dismantle such a big and good car." When the carriage moved again, he felt a little strange, "It's quite comfortable to say, why don't you feel your butt bumping?"

"There are springs installed below, and there is a buffer force."

"No wonder!" Qian Duojin didn't care what the spring was, just said, "The average person really can't think of this, your sister also said that we are careless, and the king of Ning always takes care of everything and never forgets to worry about your bumping on the road. Look at it You take care of Zhou Zhou face-to-face, those of us who are sisters and husbands are really ashamed!"

Qian Duojin was embarrassed by Wei Xuexue's driving into the car at first, and felt that they were thinking about it. After looking at the furnishings in the car one by one, and feeling the difference in comfort level, he suddenly felt that they were not wrong. I have a big heart.

He and Wei Xue have been married for several years, and they are devoted to each other, which is not comparable to King Ning's dedication!

If it didn't mean that, he dared to swear that he would never be a father for the rest of his life!

Fang Jinling twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and then said softly, "It's my mother, who is not as careful as him."

"That's right!" Qian Duojin patted the young couple, then looked at Fang Jinling in surprise, "You also feel something is wrong?"

Fang Jinling nodded, he is not a fool, how could he not feel that he was treated with heart and soul?

Unless you're playing dumb.

Qian Duojin swallowed, and asked cautiously: "You won't also..."

Fang Jinling shook his head, then shook his face, showing sadness, "I don't know either."

This, this... Qian Duojin gasped for a moment, "Lingling, you must stop thinking about it, let's stop here!"

Fang Jinling glanced at him quietly when he heard the words, "Actually, I didn't think much about it, and I controlled myself not to think about it, but when brother-in-law came, we chatted on it, and I had to think about it if I didn't want to."

The corner of Qian Duojin's mouth twitched: "..." Is this still his fault?

Fang Jinling asked, "Did the sisters see it?"

Qian Duojin nodded sadly, "We're not blind for such an eye-catching carriage, besides seeing off today, King Ning's eyes... Lingling, I won't describe it, but I didn't feel so reluctant to send your sister to the war Yes, really!"

"That girl..."

"My aunt is someone who has been here, so I must have found out. I just wanted to tell you in person, but I was afraid that it would make you think wildly, so let me come to find out." Qian Duojin finished speaking, full of bitter tears, " It seems that I am also self-defeating... It's over, I will be beaten to death by your sister."

Seeing Qian Duojin's worried look, Fang Jinling couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you come or not, some things can't be avoided."

"Then, what are you going to do?"

Fang Jinling wondered: "What else can I do? Brother-in-law, he is in Yongliang, and he can't leave easily. I will go to Shamenguan, and I won't see him in a short time. This kind of thing should gradually fade away." , Fang Jinling paused, feeling a little uncomfortable suddenly in his heart, which made his brows slightly frowned, but he still finished speaking, "King Ning and I are not without measure, since there is no explanation, then there is nothing wrong, Don't worry."

For the sake of credibility, he smiled slightly, looking very calm, Qian Duojin looked at him carefully, calmed down a little, and said that although the little cousin is only fifteen, but his mind is exquisite and clear, he will not do anything stupid thing.

Don't say that King Ning is a man who shocks the world, even for that status, he has to stay far away.

"It's fine if you can think about it, then I'll go back."

"Don't go, since this car is safe, stay here." Fang Jinling invited.

Qian Duojin was a little moved, but King Ning always felt uncomfortable with Fang Jinling's affection.Besides, there were eight women waiting for him outside.

Then I heard Fang Jinling say: "A person tends to think wildly, my brother-in-law can sit with me, and I can relieve my boredom." He took out a stack of dried fruit and snacks from the chest of drawers.

The four words of random thinking instantly nailed Qian Duojin in place.

There were [-] guards from the Jianfeng Battalion, and after walking for seven or eight days, a city finally appeared in front of them.I saw the thick and heavy city walls connecting high slopes on both sides, and on the slopes stood the winding Great Wall, and soldiers stood guard on the female wall.

Through the curtain Fang Jinling raised, Qian Duojin said, "We've finally arrived in Shacheng."

Shacheng is the last city before Shamen Pass, and it is also the place where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and their families live. It can be said that all the people are soldiers, and the Xilinghou Mansion is located inside.

"Brother-in-law, how many people are there in Shacheng?"

"Less than 20, of which [-] are soldiers, and the rest are either family members or local clan people, as well as caravans like me, or... exiled people."

So many people are far away from the hinterland, which is a huge business opportunity, not to mention the Huns in the north. Although the two often fight and are hostile to each other, they sometimes have business exchanges, and cattle and sheep are exchanged for tea and salt to meet the needs of survival.

Qian Duojin's caravan was one of them. Of course, with the presence of the Marquis of Xiling, no one dared to think about Qian's business.

And the Marquis of Xiling, who has a [-] Shang family army, naturally speaks for himself in this Shacheng.

It didn't take long for the convoy to stop.

"Young Master, Third Uncle, the Xiling Marquis Mansion has arrived." A voice from the sky came from outside the car.

"Let's go, Lingling, go see grandfather." After Qian Duojin finished speaking, he got out of the carriage first and got off the carriage, while Fang Jinling took a deep breath and followed him out.

No matter how calm Fang Jinling was, the legendary hero and general who had shocked the Northwest and had been in the army all his life, he would be nervous when he was about to meet him.

Will Xiling Hou Shangwei like his grandson who can't bear shoulders, can't lift his hands, can't be too light or too heavy, and gets sick at every turn?

"Ling'er."

After he got out of the car, Shang Qingrong looked for him, her eyes were full of anticipation, she was completely at a loss, and her face was filled with timidity of being close to home.

Compared with Fang Jinling, who obviously ignored the objections of his father and brother and insisted on marrying far away in the capital, and finally ended up separating from Li Li. Shang Qingrong who came back with his son in disgrace was even more difficult to deal with, so he could only call his son to relieve this anxious suffering.

"Mother, I'm here." Fang Jinling held Shang Qingrong's hand, smiled, and silently supported her, "Ling'er will accompany you to plead guilty to your grandfather."

Shang Qingrong nodded heavily, his eyes slowly turning red.

Seeing it, Shang Chuqing felt sore in her heart, and sighed softly, "Auntie, go in, Grandfather doesn't care about that, he just wants to see you soon and the family reunion."

Shang Qingrong tried her best to show a smile, but the choke in her throat was about to come out, so she didn't dare to speak, she held Fang Jinling's hand tightly, and looked at the door that hadn't changed for more than ten years.

Then she paused.

Shang Xiaoshuang and Shang Xiaowu looked at the person standing at the door who didn't know when, and asked in surprise, "Grandfather, why did you come out?"

At that moment, time seemed to stand still at this moment, Fang Jinling felt that the hand holding him was getting tighter and trembling, and he saw that Shang Qingrong was trembling all over.

Shang Qingrong's wide-open eyes watched Xilinghou gradually turn red, his teeth were clenched, and he tried hard to control his emotions, as if he could not help but collapse if he relaxed a bit.

Behind Xilinghou was a six or seven-year-old girl, with white hair all over his head, even though he still looked energetic, but at the age of seventy, his face was already covered with wrinkles, and the traces of years-long wind and sand made him feel a little better. He looked more and more vicissitudes.

He stood at the door and stared at Shang Qingrong, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to call out, but the voice was stuck in his throat but he couldn't come out.

Shang Yangyang was wondering why the great-grandfather in front did not leave, so he took a few steps forward, tilted his head to look at Marquis Xiling, and was surprised to find that tears were shining in his eyes... Shang Yangyang suddenly opened his eyes wide, He asked with concern: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, the guard who had been with him for many years saw Shang Qingrong from the crowd, and couldn't help shouting with red eyes: "Master Hou, it's Miss, Miss is really back!" And he has become an old man.

The Marquis of Xiling nodded lightly, took a deep breath, and called out to Shang Qingrong: "Rongrong..." He opened his arms, holding back the tears from welling up in his eyes, "Girl, come... to daddy... ..."

"Father..." Shang Qingrong's voice was hoarse, and then he couldn't hold it anymore, crying, "Father—" she suddenly ran to the gate, threw herself into Xilinghou's arms, and hugged him tightly. Live father, wailing loudly.

So many years of longing, guilt, longing, grievance... were all intertwined, and today, they all vented out of her father's arms. It was only at this time that she truly felt that she had finally returned to her father's side.

The same is true for Marquis Xiling, his hands trembling while holding his daughter, he kept patting Shang Qingrong's back lightly, just like comforting him when he was a child. Not coming out, he who bleeds and does not shed tears, finally let tears flow down his cheeks.

Shang Yangyang was shocked.

Shang Chuqing waved to her daughter, "Yangyang, come here."

When Shang Yangyang saw his mother, he rushed over and was hugged by Shang Chuqing.

"Mother, Yangyang misses you." She put her arms around her mother's neck affectionately, rubbing her little face against it.

"Mother misses you too." Shang Chuqing said hoarsely.

Shang Yangyang held Shang Chuqing's face in doubt, "Why are you crying too?" He gently wiped away his mother's tears with his small hands.

Shang Chuqing showed a gratified smile, crying while laughing.

Then Shang Yangyang turned around and was surprised to find that not only Shang Chuqing, but also everyone else was the same.

"Second aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, fifth aunt, sixth aunt, seventh aunt, why are you all crying?" Finally, she looked at her father, "Father, what's wrong with everyone?"

Chen Du exhaled heavily, took his daughter from his wife's hand, put it on his shoulder and said, "If you don't see your parents for a month, will you cry?"

Shang Yangyang replied: "Don't cry, you guys have been away for a long time, I am used to it."

"What about the whole year?"

"Yangyang, be obedient and don't cry."

"You really don't want to cry?"

Shang Yangyang played with Chen Du's hair, then said sullenly, "I'm crying secretly."

This answer made people even more uncomfortable, Chen Du paused, and said, "Your little aunt left great grandfather before you were born."

After hearing this, Shang Yangyang looked sympathetically at Shang Qingrong who was crying so hard that he couldn't control himself, and said, "Then I will cry for a long time."

"We Yangyang are becoming more and more sensible." Qian Duojin raised his head, as if he wanted to hold back his tears, "I didn't want to lose my composure, but when Yangyang said this, I couldn't..."

Wei Xue also turned her face away, and said in a muffled voice, "I just can't see this, it pokes people's hearts."

Qian Duojin patted her on the shoulder to express his comfort.

Shang Xiyun looked away, wanted to take a moment, then saw the person coming, was stunned, then raised his hand to wipe his eyes, "You are here too."

A handsome man came, dressed differently from others, like a literati, he handed over a plain handkerchief and said: "Don't rub it with your hands, it will hurt your eyes."

Shang Xiyun took it over, "Okay." She wiped her face again, smiled through tears, "I know, I'm back."

Zhiyi is Gao Xueli's character, he stroked Shang Xiyun's hair, and said softly, "Just be safe."

The two looked at each other, then smiled together.

Shang Xiyun looked back at Wu Bing who was still sad, then looked around and asked, "Where is the fourth brother-in-law?"

"Hong Yun is about to give birth. He has been at the racecourse for the past few days and can't come back."

Shang Xiyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What an idiot."

The twins were on the one-legged Shang Luoyu, and the three sisters sniffed together, looking unbearable to watch, and called back, "Lingling..."

They were about to comfort Fang Jinling, but they saw him biting his lip, with red eyes and nostrils moving, silently walking forward, step by step up the steps.

But at this moment, Shang Qingrong was crying uncontrollably, clutching Xilinghou's sleeve, and slowly slid his body to the ground, "Father, my daughter is not filial, my daughter is really unfilial..."

"It's all over, just come back..." Xilinghou immediately went to pull Shang Qingrong, "Get up, girl, get up."

"No..." Shang Qingrong let go of Xilinghou, knelt up straight with tears streaming down his face, and then kowtowed deeply, "Daughter is sorry for you, and brother, for being so selfish and self-willed. She should have no face to go back, but she still wanted to be under Huan's knees, so... she had the audacity to ask to go home, hoping that father would take her in."

Someone behind him knelt down silently, Shang Qingrong said: "Ling'er, together with your mother, let's kowtow three times to your grandfather."

At that moment, Nanny Lin, Qingye and Fuxiang, and all the servants who stayed in the capital with Shang Qingrong for 15 years and returned to their hometown, all knelt down and wept bitterly.

This time, the Marquis of Xiling didn't stop him. He watched his daughter and grandson kowtow to him three times. When the mother and son stood up for the third time, they couldn't bear to take a step forward, "Hurry up!" stand up!"

He looked at Shang Qingrong, then patted Fang Jinling's shoulder and said, "After today, no one should leave, this is your home! It's cold outside, come in."
