Mr. and Mrs. He were surrounded in the middle of the crowd, like stars looming over the moon.
Everyone praises them very much.
He Chunhua is even more cheerful, talking and laughing freely, without any stage fright or discomfort?
He Lingchuan took a sip of wine: "This is really dad's highlight moment. You can see his face is red."
He Chunhua had just arrived at Luming Garden. He didn't even take a sip of wine before his face turned red. This was of course because he was so excited and excited.
"Finally proud." He Yue also exhaled a long breath, full of emotion, "Our family has been waiting for this moment for twenty years."
Twenty years ago, the entire He family was beheaded, and only He Chunhua wandered the border like a wild dog, witnessing the desolation of the world. Twenty years later, He Chunhua returned to Shihuan with his whole family, and the wealthy and aristocratic families around him gathered around to express their condolences and compliments.
From the quagmire to the clouds, reaching the sky in one step, how could he not be satisfied with his ambition?
This made him confirm once again that his plan, his planning, and his sacrifice were all worth it.
At this time, three young men walked up not far away. In the middle was a young man in white, and the two behind them looked like followers.
The young man in white clasped his fist at He Lingchuan: "But the He family brothers?"
He Lingchuan chuckled: "Who is your Excellency?" This guy's steps are a bit slow, and he is not a practicing practitioner.
"My surname is He, and my father lives in Yushitai."
The attendant on the side quickly introduced: "This is He Su, the third son of Mr. He, the censor doctor. He has a courtesy name Feiyang."
The He family brothers all had a look of astonishment on their faces.
The rank of the imperial censor is not high, but he is in charge of impeachment and picketing. He can participate in this and that at every turn, and is deeply respected by all officials.
Both sides exchanged a few polite words, and He Su smiled and said, "I heard that Sister Xiu'er was brought back to Shi Huan by Mr. He from the south?"
Good guy, there was a trick in his words from the very beginning. He Yue said calmly: "Miss Zhu recognizes my mother as her adopted mother. In the past ten days, we have been traveling by land and water. Except for encountering the rebel army that retreated from Woling Pass, everything has failed.
very smooth."
"Wolingguan?" He Su's attention was indeed attracted by the word "thief army", "You also encountered the thief army?"
The last two words were spoken loudly, attracting nearby guests. Two of them said:
"I heard that Master He led his troops to defeat the rebels in the south."
"Not only that, but we also saved many villagers."
"It turns out that Mr. He defeated two of the generals under Hong Thief and persuaded one to surrender!"
After a while, many people gathered around the He brothers. Everyone wanted to ask for details. He Yue told what he could, and everyone was amazed.
He Lingchuan looked at him coldly and found that this boy was talking freely and looked as good as his father.
He Su was a little unhappy when he was left hanging by the side. He coughed twice and raised his voice: "Sister Xiu'er has returned to the Zhu family. This is a great thing. Unfortunately, countless people have been looking for her over the years, but they can't find her.
Brother He, can you explain to us where Sister Xiuer was abducted and how did you find her?"
He Yue Zao has an idea:
"Ms. Zhu was stolen to the south, and there was a flood in Hong Xiang. Even the traffickers and other girls were knocked into the water, and they were not sure whether they were alive or dead. She was lucky and was rescued from the water by the sister-in-law of Tiangong Temple, and she was placed in the temple thereafter.
But she was hit on the head by driftwood and couldn't remember the past clearly, so she couldn't remember that she was a child of the Zhu family."
When the Hes and his wife sent Zhu Xiuer back, they made an arrangement with Zhu Xiyan to replace the fact that she was sold to a remote country to give birth to children for a mud-legged man.
The children of the Zhu family should not have such a humiliating experience, and Zhu Xiuer herself should not have a tragic past.
He Su was not willing to give up: "Then how did Lord He discover her?"
"The Tiangong Temple was looted by a small group of rebels, and the sisters-in-law in the temple were also tied up. We happened to pass by and killed them. Perhaps the battle scene was too bloody, but by mistake, the excitement
Recalling Miss Zhu's past memories." He Yue spread his hands, "Is this God's will?"
Anyway, if you are telling lies with your eyes open, can others verify it?
Several noble ladies cooperated and sighed repeatedly: "Master Zhu's precious granddaughter was lost and found after seven years. This must be God's mercy."
He Su smiled and said: "I disappeared, lost my memory, and was found again in the end. After hearing this, Sister Xiuer's experience sounds very familiar. There is a person who was like this! Do you still remember it?"
This topic successfully drew everyone's attention back: "Who?"
"Hey, when He said it, I seemed to have some impression."
"Well, the age is not very similar. Zhu Xiuer was already over ten years old when she was abducted, and the child was only five years old when she disappeared."
There are actually similar cases? He Lingchuan frowned secretly and looked confused: "Who are you talking about?"
A well-known plump lady quietly put a hand on his shoulder, covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't know, Mr. He, they are talking about Songyang Mansion..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiang followed others and Zhu Xiuer appeared in front of him, slightly tilting his head: "It's so lively here, what are you guys talking about?"
When the protagonist arrived, everyone could stop gossiping in front of him. They all said, "Let's chat randomly. The He family brothers are telling us about their deeds against the rebels."
Zhu Xiuer smiled and said: "Master He is resourceful and the He family brothers are brave and strong. I have seen it with my own eyes."
At this time, the singing voice started again: "The general of chariots and cavalry - Ke Jihai has arrived!"
There was a commotion at the scene, and the guests were whispering to each other. He Lingchuan listened and listened, but the key point was only one sentence: "Why is he here?"
Don't tell others, the name "Ke Jihai" is equally familiar to the He brothers.
Immediately after Zhu Xiyan and Zhu Xiuer came in, the whole audience stood up.
He Lingchuan finally met this legendary general.
This man was dressed in a brocade robe, six feet tall, and had an ordinary appearance. He did not seem to meet the criteria of "a dragon or a phoenix among men" except for his piercing eyes.
He Lingchuan happened to look at him and felt that this man's gaze was like a tiger's, and his first words were intimidating.
It was the two generals Wu Di and Ke Jihai who led the army to successfully quell the rebellion at Woling Pass, leading to the death of Hong Xiangqiang, the leader of the bandits, and the defeat of the rest of the army, thereby protecting Shihuan City under their feet. This was a great achievement.
Da Sima rebelled and forced the palace into Xiaoxishan. It was Ke Jihai who rushed back to King Qin in time and ordered Da Sima to retreat to Wuzhou.
Saving the emperor's chariot is also a great achievement.
If there is one person who is in the limelight both inside and outside the royal court, who is She Ke Jihai?
But what everyone was wondering was, why did Ke Jihai appear in Shihuan City when he was supposed to be encircling Da Sima in Wuzhou?
As soon as Ke Jihai arrived, all the guests had arrived. After Zhu Xiyan made a speech, he announced the start of the dust bath.
When all the guests saw Zhu Xiuer standing beside him and smiling sweetly throughout the whole process, they knew that Lao Zhu's love for this granddaughter had not been diminished by time, and they would take this opportunity to push his granddaughter back into the upper class.
Delicious delicacies are served to the table like water.
The biggest gimmick of hosting a banquet at Luming Garden is not that it is hosted by a famous chef, but that it is hand-made by the royal chef. It is said that the three chefs here are specially sent by the palace, and each has his or her own specialty.
The He family was used to eating big fish and meat in Blackwater City, and Mrs. Ying and He Yue both wanted to be amazed when they moved here.
It turns out that what else can be done with dishes? The dishes here are not too detailed, and every dish here is small but exquisite.
Mrs. Ying secretly lamented that all the previous meals were in vain.
He Lingchuan had eaten all over the country in his previous life, and he was not as impressed as the other country bumpkins in the He family at this time, but there were two dishes here that really won his heart. First, a hot eel dish, using only finger-thick eels to kill alive, and then
Deep-fry it in the pan and then add the sauce. Repeat this process three or five times before it becomes really crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside. It melts in your mouth, which shows the skill.
The other dish is Chicken Fiber Mushroom and Pigeon Soup. This kind of fungus is outstanding among fungi in terms of taste and price. Luming Garden also produces it, but it is the middle of winter and there is no fresh product, so we can only use dried Chicken Finger.
The flavor of the soup did not diminish afterward, and even the smell of pigeon was gone. Just one sip would make you lose your eyebrows.
He Lingchuan Gu has finished drinking a bottle of it, and he really wanted to drink more, but unfortunately there was no more.
He waited for a long time to see if there was palace jade liquor here, but he was a little disappointed. It seemed that King Yuan still didn't know how to pull off big stunts.
After the pigeon soup came out, the guests all went to toast the General Chariot and Cavalry, and the focus of the audience shifted from He Chunhua to Ke Jihai.
After all, the new general manager of Xiazhou only rescued the orphan girl of the courtier's family, while Ke Jihai protected the country for the monarch.
It is self-evident which one has greater merit and which one has a higher status.
Although the limelight was taken away by Ke Jihai, He Chunhua did not show any displeasure. Instead, he grabbed the wine glass and went to toast Ke Jihai.
Zhu Xiyan introduced him, and Ke Jihai's eyes lit up when he heard He Chunhua's name: "By the way, you still killed Sun Fuping, the traitorous manager of Xiazhou!"
He came to attend the Zhu family's banquet just out of courtesy. As a general with hundreds of thousands of troops, he had no interest in the orphan girl returning home, but he paid attention to the battles related to the national economy.
He Chunhua smiled bitterly: "It seems like that."
Zhu Xiyan said from the side: "General Ke doesn't know something. The remnants of the rebel army that were defeated by you and General Wu escaped from Woling Pass and went south along the river. They wanted to join forces again and regain their strength, but they were defeated by Lord He's army!"
"
Ke Jihai became even more interested: "Oh? Which remnants of the rebels are they from?"
"Wu Shaoyi, Lu Yao, Pei Xinyong." Zhu Xiyan said with a smile, "Lu Yao died and Pei Xinyong was defeated, but Wu Shaoyi was recruited by Lord He and joined the army together with his subordinates."
"The most important thing is that Mr. He only has 300 elites, but the three rebels combined have more than 6,000 people!"
"Okay, okay! In extraordinary times, a general comes from heaven!" Ke Jihai stood up and pulled up a chair, "Come, Mr. He, sit down, please tell me the process of defeating the thief."
The news that He Chunhua killed Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu had already spread in the capital. If it was a bit accidental, the victory of the supporting army he led to defeat the Wolingguan rebels was a real victory. These two impressive records show that
Together, Ke Jihai also looked at this official who grew up in the border with admiration.
After all, although the Yuan Kingdom is large, good generals are hard to find.
