The news of Zhang Yanling's return to Beijing had already been delivered to the Protector's Mansion in the capital. Not only the Zhang family's wives and concubines, but also the princes and princes in Beijing also received the news and rushed outside Nancheng to welcome him.
When Zhang Yanling and his entourage arrived at the gate of the city, there was a huge crowd of people waiting there. Everyone was looking forward to it. When Zhang Yanling arrived on horseback, got off his horse and strode over, Xu Wanyi, Tan Ruqing and other wives and concubines were already at the gate of the city.
Tears filled my eyes and I was so excited that I couldn't speak.
"You are all here, don't you need to take care of the family affairs? Don't you need to do the medicine shop and Wild Dog Ridge matters?" Zhang Yanling asked with a smile.
The girls were stunned and rolled their eyes at Zhang Yanling. This man actually said such things after meeting him.
Xu Wanyi put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "You still know how to come back? Don't you need to take care of the people at home? Have you forgotten that there are wives, children and children at home?"
All the wives and concubines nodded and said, "That's right, do you still know to come back?"
Xu Wanyi continued to say angrily: "I heard that you are enjoying yourself in Nanyang, and you don't want to miss Shu anymore, right?"
Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Lun and other people were waiting around. After all, they couldn't overwhelm the guests. Naturally, the family members of the Protector's Mansion had to meet and talk first, and the others had to wait for them to meet and talk before they came forward to see each other. But they didn't expect that the Protector's family members would meet and talk first.
When the couple met, they pinched each other. They were shocked at first, and then became overjoyed.
"Brother Yanling, how dare you turn your back on the guests? If I were homeless for more than a year, I would not be able to apologize and blame myself when we met, and dare to talk too much? Now I will suffer a lot." Zhang Lun said with a smile.
"Isn't that right? People who have sex with women overseas have already been known about it, so they will have to suffer even more. I heard that I hooked up with some red-haired ghost girls. Trillium brother has a really good appetite, and red-haired ghosts have a smell.
Damn it, he doesn't mind it either." Zhu Lin said in a low voice.
Zhang Lun said with a smile: "If you lead the army to fight for a year and a half, you won't mind it. You can't smell meat for such a long time. When you see a sow, you think it has double eyelids and you are picky.
Do you want to choose?"
Zhu Lin chuckled and said, "That's true. I wonder if Brother Yanling will be stripped off by the princess and her concubines tonight, hung up and beaten, in order to relieve his anger."
Zhang Lun squinted and said, "It seems that brother Zhu Lin has been beaten by his wives and concubines, so he has quite a lot of experience, haha."
Zhu Lin was waiting to defend himself when he heard someone scolding him: "You two bastards, do you think my father and I are dead? Be careful of sores on your mouth and boils on your tongue."
Only then did Zhang Lun and Zhu Lin realize that Xu Guangzuo and his son were standing next to them. Xu Guangzuo glared angrily and was about to curse, so they quickly shut up.
Over there, Zhang Yanling had given up. She bowed to Xu Wanyi and others and said in a deep voice: "Dear relatives, you have worked hard. My husband has been away for too long this time. I can't help you. I have made you suffer and suffer.
, worried
I'm afraid. I apologize to you for my husband, and I sincerely apologize. In fact, I don't want to come back as soon as possible. Why should I be happy and not miss Shu? There is a bloody storm outside, how can it be better to be at home and by your side? In short, I am doing it for my husband."
After just a few words, Xu Wanyi, Tan Ruqing and others had tears in their eyes. From the moment they met Zhang Yanling, they all saw that Zhang Yanling had suffered a lot. Zhang Yanling was originally fair and handsome, but now she is thin
He is also dark. The skin on his face is rough, dark and mottled, giving him a weather-beaten look.
This is completely different from the way he looked at home, where he was pampered and pampered at home. With his sunken cheeks and dark face, he looked like he was seriously ill. Fortunately, his eyes were shining and his energy was not bad at all, otherwise he would really have thought he was
Got seriously ill.
Although everyone at home often complained that Zhang Yanling was heartless and did not come back for a long time, in fact, the wives and concubines were more worried about his health and his safety. Zhang Yanling went to fight, but he went to fight.
Why did he give up his comfortable life and run away to fight for his life? Not to serve the country with loyalty, not only for the Ming Dynasty, but also for everyone, including the Zhang family of course.
Therefore, although I sometimes complain, I still care more. Today he is back, so how can I really blame him.
Xu Wanyi and the other girls returned the gift with tears in their eyes, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Your safe return is our wish. We have nothing else to ask for."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Thank you very much. Let's talk about it when we go home. I'm going to meet Duke Dingguo and Duke Ying. They can't be left hanging. You get in the car and wait a moment. I'll go home with you immediately."
The wives and concubines nodded in agreement and boarded the carriage to wait. Zhang Yanling walked towards Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Lun and others. Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Lun, Xu Yande, Zhu Lin, several regimental camp princes and some officials came forward to greet them.
Zhang Yanling cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Huo, so many people have come, and I am quite proud of myself. I have met my father-in-law, I have met the British Duke, I have met the two young princes, and I have met all the princes. Thank you very much."
Everyone cupped their hands and smiled and said: "You are so polite, Lord Protector. Lord Protector has returned triumphantly from overseas battles. We are here to greet him. Congratulations to Lord Protector on his triumphant return."
Zhang Yanling smiled and thanked everyone, and after saying some polite words to everyone, she was pulled aside by Xu Guangzuo and Xu Yande.
Zhang Lun, Zhu Lin and others knew that their son-in-law had something to say, so they also stepped aside and waited.
"Father-in-law, how are you? How many bowls of rice do you eat at each meal? Are your teeth, legs and feet okay?" Zhang Yanling smiled and said to Xu Guangzuo with her hands raised.
Xu Guangzuo waved his hand and said: "I'm very kind, you don't have to worry about me, but we have something to ask you."
Zhang Yanling said: "Father-in-law, please give me some advice."
Xu Guangzuo frowned and said, "Have you met the emperor?"
Zhang Yanling said: "Yes. When I came, the emperor arrived at Jiujiang Prefecture, so I stopped by to see him. The emperor wanted to lead his troops to attack Nanchang Prefecture, so I returned to Beijing first. I heard that the emperor had already captured Nanchang Prefecture.
Zhu Chenhao was captured alive and the rebellion has been put down, very good, very good."
Xu Guangzuo frowned and said, "I'm not asking you this. Did you have a bad time with the emperor? Did you shame the emperor? And forced the emperor to beat Jiang Bin?"
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "My father-in-law is really well-informed. You already know about this matter. It's amazing."
Xu Yande said from the side: "Brother-in-law, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. This matter spread throughout the capital a few days ago. Hey, what can you tell us about you? Why do you get into trouble as soon as you come back? Why do you have trouble with the emperor?
Didn't you? Don't you know that someone in the imperial court has handed over papers to impeach you because you didn't come back to quell the rebellion as ordered? It's a good thing that the emperor still speaks for you..."
Xu Guangzuo glared at Xu Yande and signaled him not to go too far. Although Zhang Yanling was his brother-in-law, he was not someone he could criticize easily now.
"Yanling, Yande is also worried about you. Don't blame him for his bad mouth. However, you really don't have to fall out with the emperor over Jiang Bin. In this way, it is easy for others to take advantage of you. We are also worried about you." Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice.
.
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Father-in-law, brother-in-law, you don't have to worry. I have a sense of responsibility for this matter. It's not a big deal. Don't listen to the wind or rain. I'm just rushing back to the capital. As for Jiang Bin, he
I asked for it. I was going to make trouble for him."
Xu Guangzuo frowned and said: "Yanling, I have to remind you that the more merit you have, the more you have to keep your tail between your legs. This is my experience. Our family of relatives must be of the same mind as the emperor. You must
You must be careful not to go too far. What I say may not sound good to you, but throughout the ages, many people have made great achievements, but their endings have not been good. Therefore, you must be careful not to overdo it and don't let others take advantage of it."
Zhang Yanling looked at Xu Guangzuo's sincere and worried eyes. He wanted to make fun of him, but he swallowed his words. Xu Guangzuo was really thinking about himself now, and she didn't have to argue with him about this.
"My son-in-law has learned a lesson. Thank you, father-in-law. My son-in-law will pay attention to his propriety." Zhang Yanling bowed.
Xu Yande said from the side: "Brother-in-law, that's right. The emperor has returned to the capital later, you go and explain. Don't leave any grudges. Some people are just waiting for the opportunity to cause harm. Don't give them the chance. That bitch Jiang Bin
It’s indeed hateful, but there’s no reason to offend the emperor because of that guy. Right?”
Zhang Yanling said: "Thank you brother, I understand."
Only then did Xu Guangzuo and his son smile on their faces. Xu Guangzuo patted Zhang Yanling on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yanling, you really lived up to expectations. We also know about the overseas operations. With such a small number of troops, we reached the seaports of South Asia and annihilated them."
The folang
The main fleet of the machine country, this is amazing. After we learned about it, we were all very happy and admired. Everyone is very happy to give our honorable relatives a face. You can go back to your hometown for a reunion. I will invite you to honor me in a few days.
, banquet and celebration. Hahaha.”
Zhang Yanling cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
When Zhang Lun and Zhu Lin saw that they had finished speaking, they also came over. Zhang Lun naturally praised him and expressed joy from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention Zhu Lin, he already admired Zhang Yanling with all his heart.
After joking for a while, Zhang Lun said: "Let's not be an eyesore. My family has been reunited for a long time and is waiting for the reunion. Yanling, let's get together later. A few banquets are inevitable. I'll make a reservation first and take the photo at Dingguo Gong.
Don't let me go later. During this period, have a good rest and don't worry about other things. We have everything."
Zhang Yanling laughed and agreed. Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Lun and others said goodbye and got on their horses to leave. Zhu Lin took the time to approach Zhang Yanling and whispered in Zhang Yanling's ear: "Brother Yanling, thank you for venting your anger on me. Jiang Bin was beaten by you.
After a meal, I was very relieved. This guy played dirty tricks and defeated my regiment. As soon as I heard that he was beaten with a royal stick, I knew that it was you who took out my anger. Good brother, there is nothing to say."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said, "It's a trivial matter. What else can my brother say?"
Zhu Lin smiled and said: "That's right, there's no need to say anything. I've kept it all in my mind. By the way, Yang Ting and that guy are cheating on you behind your back. When you come back, you just need to tell me how to get him."
I will be the first to stand up for you."
Zhang Yanling was stunned and thought: It turns out that the one who got the discount was Yang Tinghe. This guy is really very sinister.
"Let's talk about it later. I have to go back to my hometown first. I haven't been home for more than a year. They are all impatient." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Zhu Lin blinked and smiled and said: "I understand, I understand. You have to take it easy. Do you want me to order someone to send you some big tonics? I'm afraid you will be busy these two days."
