Space-time SWAT

Looking at the majestic walls of the imperial capital, the long city gates and the bustling crowd of horses and horses, and listening to those noisy voices, Su Dongchen felt a little moved.

Thousands of miles away from home, after more than ten years, the wanderer finally came back.But, home is no longer home.

Su Dongchen leaned on the big welcoming pillow, leaning his head against the wall of the carriage, his face was slightly tired.

The butler Li Quan acted swiftly and resolutely. Instead of letting the convoy line up with the queue at the gate of the city, he went to find the gate official and told him the identity of his owner.Although the city gate official was a small official with the size of a sesame mung bean, he had heard the Shangguan mention it many times that the son of Duke Anguo who had returned to Beijing by order was a big hit in the emperor's heart, and he must not be offended.He immediately ran forward, bowed his hands in front of Su Dongchen's carriage, and gave his official name.

Su Dongchen said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

The city gate official was flattered immediately, and bowed to thank them again and again, and then led them into the city gate himself, without checking the goods in the car at all, let alone collecting taxes.

Li Quan stayed behind, skillfully and secretly slipped a gift to the city gate officer, thanking him for his knowledge, and also gave him a tax declaration form, paying 1000 taels of silver according to the value of the items on it.In this way, there will be no future troubles.

When he finished his work and came out, the convoy in front had split into two groups.

Fu Minghan's family members and servants took [-] carriages, dozens of carriages carrying goods, and more than ten carriages of the wounded. They turned to Qilin Street under the escort of [-] soldiers. Fu Minghan led the way. Go directly to a five-entry mansion belonging to the dowry of Su Dongchen's deceased wife, Xiao Li.During their stay in Beijing, Fu Minghan and his family lived there, and a large amount of belongings of the soldiers and Su Dongchen were temporarily placed there.The remaining twenty or so carriages were parked there, with a hundred soldiers and eight guards on horseback, waiting for Li Quan to come over after finishing his work, and then proceeded along the straight Qinglong Avenue.

Although this team has shrunk by half, it is still eye-catching. Countless honorable officials have sent people to guard the gate of the city every day, just to inquire about the news of the son of Anguo Gong who is in the heart of the emperor. Now that he has arrived in the capital, he will Run back to report the letter.

Su Dongchen ignored the commotion outside at all, and only called his two sons to his carriage, looked at their appearance, nodded with a smile, and said: "After returning to the mansion, I will visit your grandfather and step-grandmother. Dear uncles and aunts, you should keep any emotions in your heart. According to the etiquette law, there is a difference between descendants and concubines. To the elders, you must be respectful and treat each other with courtesy everywhere. Don't let people criticize you and affect your reputation. As for what I did and said in front of them, you should act as if you didn’t see or hear it, and don’t speak up. Of course, if a younger brother or sister is rude, you can seriously teach them as elders. This is also a proper etiquette. .The measure is up to you to decide.”

"Yes." Su Yumeng and Su Yuzhong nodded at the same time, with smiles on their faces.

Today I am going to Beijing to return home. The clothes Zeng Mama prepared for the two young masters are exquisitely crafted and completely new. The accessories on the waist and the hair crown on the head are also inlaid with gems and jade. It looks like the demeanor of an aristocratic son.

Su Dongchen also changed into a royal blue embroidered unicorn-pattern robe that Zeng's mother specially prepared, with a belt of the same color Buddha head fairy flower around his waist, and black embroidered python-pattern satin shoes, and the tiger-striped jade crown on his head is especially precious , Carved from extremely rare Hetian black jade, it is priceless, and more importantly, this hair crown and the black jade white tiger pendant hanging on his waist are rewards from the emperor, and they are worn to make him look so beautiful when he returns home. A good stepmother dare not be presumptuous.

Since they were attacked in the mountainous area of ​​Jingzhou, they walked slowly on the road for ten days. When the seriously injured recovered and no longer had any fear of their lives, they speeded up and took another twelve days to reach the capital.With these 22 days, Fu Minghan basically healed Su Dongchen's injury with acupuncture, decoction and external wound medicine. Several experienced and loyal mothers in charge showed their skills and made various delicious and nourishing soups , Su Dongchen was eating and drinking non-stop from the time he opened his eyes to the time he closed them. His body, which had been severely injured, gradually recovered, and his spirit became stronger.At this moment, only he himself knows that there is still some weakness in his body, but no one can see it on the outside.

The convoy traveled to Xungui District near the imperial city and turned into Anxin Street.At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, only Anguo Gongfu and Xinguo Gongfu were the most regulated on this street, so the two mansions were used as the street name. Later, there were Yongchang Houfu and two Earl's Mansions, but neither of them could be compared with the two Guogong Mansions. By contrast, the street name has never changed.

In the middle of this street is the An Guo Gong Mansion, which occupies a vast area and is solemnly regulated. The plaque on the main entrance "Designation of An Guo Gong Mansion" was written by the founding emperor himself, which is extremely noble.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Taizu proclaimed the Eight Dukes and the Twelve Marquises, followed him to revolt, fought north and south, fought bloody battles, saved his life, and sacrificed his lives for him. Twenty founding fathers.These twenty princes "hereditary without replacement, attached to the imperial tomb, and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao", and gave the iron coupons of the alchemy, and the holy family was extremely prosperous.

The Anguo Duke's Mansion ranked fourth among the Eight Dukes at the beginning of the founding of the country. After 300 years of inheritance, it has now risen to the second place. It is also possible to say that it is the first.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is shining brightly, the middle door of Duke Anguo's mansion is wide open, and all the young masters and ladies and a large number of servants are waiting outside.

The mighty convoy stopped slowly, and Su Dongchen's carriage was facing the gate.

Dozens of servants all knelt down and said in unison: "Welcome the son back home."

Su Dongchen came out, stepped on the footstool and got out of the car lightly, glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "Get up."

The servants got up, and several young masters and young ladies stepped forward to salute, and shouted unevenly: "Brother."

Su Dongchen glanced at them and nodded slightly, "Well, we are a family of flesh and blood, so there is no need to be polite."

He has been in the army for many years, fought bloody battles, and accumulated meritorious service to become a third-rank general. He has held a heavy army for several years, and has accumulated a lot of power. The sons and daughters of the father-in-law's wife did not dare to talk nonsense in front of him.

Su Dongchen didn't say much, and looked back at his two sons getting out of the car, walked to his side, and said gently: "These are my two sons, Su Yumeng and Su Yuzhong, how many uncles and aunts have you met up there?"

"Yes." The two teenagers took a step forward and bowed their hands in salute, "Nephew greets all uncles and aunts."

"Excuse me, excuse me." Su Nanchen, the third master of the Duke's Mansion, stepped forward to hold the hands of the two nephews with a smile, looked at them for a moment, and said with a smile, "Brother is so lucky to have such two outstanding unicorns."

He is a concubine, and his biological mother is the first wife's first maid. After the first wife became pregnant, he arranged for him to serve An Guogong. Later, the first wife gave birth to three children and allowed her to have children.She was lucky and gave birth to a son, and she has been loyal to the first wife since then, so the first wife is very good to this bastard.After the first wife passed away, the step-wife wanted to kill even the son-in-law, and even disliked him in every possible way, making his life very difficult. If it wasn't for the protection of the old lady, he would not be able to live today.During those unbearable days, he and his first wife's elder brother, second sister, and third sister depended on each other for life, and their relationship was very good. At this time, seeing his elder brother who had not seen him for more than ten years returned home, he was very excited.

Su Dongchen saw that his eye circles were red, almost filled with tears, and was also a little moved. He stepped forward and pulled him over, hugged him tightly, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I heard that you have a daughter, how old is it?"

"Two years old." Su Nanchen was very happy, "Your brother and sister are pregnant again, and the due date is next spring."

His marriage was the concubine's concubine of the Fuguo Duke's mansion that the old lady had arranged before her death, and the Hu family could not destroy it, so they could only marry them after observing the filial piety.After the two got married, they sang in harmony and were very affectionate.

Su Dongchen looked at the second younger brother and sister who were bowing shyly, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, the younger brother and sister are twins, so take care of yourself and don't be too polite."

Then he turned around and smiled at Su Xichen and Su Beichen, the two younger brothers from his stepmother, and patted their shoulders, "Third brother, fourth brother, eldest brother has been away for many years, and I haven't seen you, and I often miss you." This time the eldest brother will not leave when he comes back, and we brothers can get closer in the future."
