"How far are we from Yuyang County now?" Xu Da asked.
Shitou estimated the team's current speed.
The convoy is not as fast as the horse, and those who go to inquire ride on the horse and go first. It only takes half a day to come and go.
The convoy will encounter various situations on the road, and if there is a slight delay, the speed will slow down.
The Xu family followed the convoy and it would take two days to reach Yuyang County.
So Shitou Baobu replied: "It will take two days."
Xu Da then asked him to go back first, and the whole family would discuss it before telling Gongsun Hao how to go.
In fact, there was no need to discuss it. Their family had suddenly come to the house to recognize their relatives. In order to avoid the other party suspecting that they and others were involved in Qiu Feng, it was better to go with the motorcade.
But you have to write a letter, so it seems more polite to say it in advance.
Thinking of this, Xu Da asked Xu Erniang to contribute her pen, ink, and paper, and wrote a brief letter to Gongsun Hao. Please ask him to send someone to deliver the letter to his cousin first, so as not to suddenly come to the door and scare people.
.
Of course, it's not a big deal, but if the other party doesn't recognize them as relatives, the trouble will be big.
However, Gongsun Hao, the so-called direct descendant of the clan, sent someone to deliver the message. For the sake of my family's sake, the success rate of the family recognition can be increased by 50%.
Xu Da's little abacus was crackling. Gongsun Hao had traveled all over the country for so many years. He had never seen anyone, and he immediately knew what Xu Da had in mind.
For Xu Yue's sake, Gongsun Hao decided to sell it to Xu Da to save face.
After all, this family doesn't seem to be in the pool. Maybe when they become prosperous, he will still beg for help one day.
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and said nothing.
"This slave trader is quite interesting!"
After returning to his team, Xu Da gave Gongsun Hao this evaluation.
Wang had never heard Xu Da say such a thing to anyone before. Seeing that he had a good impression of Gongsun Hao, she sneered and said: "I think you two are of the same mind!"
Gongsun Hao was having lunch, and two beautiful maids knelt on either side of him to serve him carefully, taking care of every detail and being considerate and gentle.
His hands would almost subconsciously fall on the two maids' faces, waists, buttocks and other hidden places from time to time.
As if sensing something, he suddenly turned toward the Xu family's carriage. Wang turned away indifferently, as if looking at him any longer would pollute her eyes.
Xu Da scratched his head in embarrassment, looked away from the two beautiful maids, and vaguely waved his hand towards Gongsun Hao, rejecting the other party's invitation to have lunch with him.
The expression on Wang's face softened a little, and she warned: "Xu Da, I can't control what other people do, but if you dare to disrespect women like the men here, get out of here!"
Xu Da shook his head honestly, "Don't dare, don't dare..."
The villain in my heart is screaming up to the sky. If you tell me to go away, I will go away. How shameless!
The three Xu Yue brothers and sisters looked on and couldn't help but shake their heads. It was only my mother who could control her father's little thoughts.
However, one's nature cannot be changed easily. My father used to be a top dandy in the world of cultivation. It was probably commonplace for him to entertain cats and dogs, gamble and engage in prostitution.
Now Leng Buding wants him to get rid of this bad habit, and it's going to take some time.
After the lunch break, the team continued to move forward.
It has been cloudy for days, but now the sun is out, the road is dry and easy to travel, and the speed is twice as fast as the previous few days.
It was originally estimated that it would take two days to enter Yuyang County, but in fact, the group entered the county in the evening of the second day.
When we arrived here, we were in the Gongsun clan's own territory.
Especially in the two counties of Yuyang and Youbeiping, the county governors are all members of the Gongsun family.
After Gongsun Hao retired from the army, he has been responsible for the family's industrial management and also built a house in Yuyang County.
It was getting late when they entered the city, so Xu Yue and his party followed Gongsun Hao to his private house to rest for a while.
Early the next morning, Gongsun Hao sent Shitou to take Xu Yue's family to Wubao, Gongsun Ao's house outside the city, to fulfill his original promise and send them to the doorstep of his relatives.
As for himself, he couldn't spare any time.
As soon as he settled in the city, my uncle sent someone to invite him over. He was busy with the entertainment and couldn't leave.
The two parties said goodbye at the gate of the city. Gongsun Hao pointed to an old man beside him and said generously:
"This is Uncle Fu. He has been in Yuyang County for decades and takes care of everything for me. There is nothing he can't do."
"Xu Yue, Doctor Xu, if anything happens to you in the future, just come to my house to see Uncle Fu!"
Father Xu and his daughter nodded towards Uncle Fu and gave them a friendly smile.
The other party also bowed his hand and returned the gesture, which was polite and generous.
Gongsun Hao hugged his fists heavily: "We are destined to meet again!"
After that, he got on his horse, took a group of guards and several large carts of gifts, and left the city for a banquet at a villa in the countryside.
Everyone watched them walk away, and then looked away.
Uncle Fu and Shitou stayed. He handed a letter to Xu Da, saying that it was a letter of guarantee written by Gongsun Hao for them. They should give it to Gongsun Yu in Wubao, and he would treat their relatives well.
After the explanation, Uncle Fu prepared two more carts of gifts, one for Sun Yan, the current protagonist of Wu Bao, and one for Gongsun Yu. They were considered gifts from the elders to the younger ones.
This preparation was not considered inconsiderate, it simply gave Xu Yue's family a lot of face.
Even the Wang family, who had no good impression of Gongsun Hao, had some changes and felt that apart from his feudal thoughts, he really had no choice in his behavior.
So, with the two carts of gifts prepared by Gongsun Hao, Xu Yue's family, Wang Dayou and his daughter, led by Uncle Fu and Shitou, nervously embarked on the road to recognize their relatives.
...
The sky is refreshing, and in the castle-like Wubao, fertile farmland is spread out, and busy tenants are actively preparing for spring plowing.
At noon, while Gongsun Xu and her husband, dressed in a simple train, were sitting on a bullock cart to inspect the spring plowing of the farmland, they suddenly received a letter from Yuyang County.
Gongsun Xu was illiterate, so she gave the letter to her husband Gongsun Yu, who was over fifty years old, to read. Unexpectedly, when he saw it, he showed an incredible look of surprise.
"Madam, do you have any relatives in your family?" Gongsun Yu asked in shock, holding the letter and stroking the long beard on his chin.
Gongsun Xu shook her head. Her father died fifteen years ago, and she was the only daughter in the family. She only had one distant relative in Yanzhou, and she hadn't had any contact with her for more than ten years now. I'm afraid they are all gone.
After all, does she have any relatives?
Gongsun Yu read out the content of the letter: "Cousin, I am Xu Da from Shanyang County, Yanzhou, your nephew. I will bring my family to visit you in two days... This, this is
A letter from your nephew."
Gongsun Xu's subconscious reaction was that this was a bit outrageous, but after living alone in Youzhou for so many years, she couldn't help but feel a little excited when she remembered that she did still have relatives in Yanzhou, and now he wanted to visit her.
While they were excited, they suddenly saw several strange carriages driving on the road outside Uburg. The couple was shocked!
