Chapter 3283: Finale【16】
Chapter 3283 Finale【16】
Gu Jinli hurriedly called Erlang: "Let's go into the palace with Supervisor Zhong and the others first. You sulky guy can wait until you're done."
Erlang became even more angry: "Mom, you are unreasonable. How could you stop sulking in the middle of your sulking?"
“Isn’t that enough?” Gu Jinli fooled him: “Er Lang, you are the first person in history who can stop sulking. You are very powerful.”
“Huh, mother is treating Erlang like a baby again.” But he already knew the seriousness, so he could only follow Zhong Naijian and the others.
Before leaving the house, they met Widow Xiao and her group. When she saw Gu Jinli from a distance, she shouted: "Sanlang's wife, the streets are deserted outside. Let's set off at this time. We won't be blocked in the middle of the road and can't reach Shengjing Tower, right?" !”
Shengjing Building is at the intersection of the main streets, with the best location. After going up to the sixth floor, you can overlook most of the scenery of the four cities, eight streets and twelve lanes.
This building belongs to the royal family, but the Qin family can go up there.
"Don't worry, aunt. If you can get there, there will be imperial guards to help clear the way." Gu Jinli looked at Widow Xiao running towards her in a hurry, and his eyes lit up: "Auntie looks really good when she is dressed like this."
Although the Xiao family are naughty, the whole family is good-looking, and after the widow Xiao was raised in the capital for two years, she became more and more beautiful and charming.
Hahahahaha, Widow Xiao smiled beautifully and said: "I am one year older than Jiulang, so I have to dress up well, lest he be teased."
"Uncle won't, your relationship with him is extraordinary." Gu Jinli waved to Big Wolf and Erlang, and after sending them out, he asked Widow Xiao: "Aunt, have you had breakfast? Go to the conservatory to eat something first. Well, the victorious army won’t enter the city until after the time has passed, it’s still early.”
"If you don't eat here, if you don't eat here, we're going to Shengjinglou. The imperial chef is in charge there. If you don't eat, you'll be in big trouble!" The speaker was Ji Zhenniang, who also came here with her whole family, and even gave the little boy a hand. Xie Ruisai went to keep company with the big wolf and the two wolves... They were both sons of meritorious officials and could accompany the emperor to the ancestral temple to worship.
After shouting, she pretended to be a lady again, smiled without showing her teeth, and whispered softly: "I want to take Zhuzhu to taste it. After all, daughters must be pampered~"
Hearing her sarcastic tone, Gu Jinli wanted to punch her: "Have you been choked by someone's neck? Speak politely and don't act pretentious. I will only take Zhuzhu with Mrs. Xie and not you."
"Gu Xiaoyu!" Ji Zhenniang was very angry, but she couldn't defeat Gu Jinli and had to obey.
Zhuzhu couldn't help laughing at the sight, and coaxed her: "Mom is beautiful. She has been given the gift of a lady since she was a child. My father has always valued my mother and will not be dissatisfied. Don't worry, mother."
Ji Zhenniang was happy when she heard this: "My Zhuzhu can still talk, unlike some people..." She glanced at Gu Jinli from the end of her eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Jinli chuckled: "Who does it look like? Are you talking about Aunt Lei? She will also come to the city today. She also said that she misses you and wants to stay alone with you for a few nights to reminisce about the past."
Ah, Ji Zhenniang screamed in fright, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "Gu Xiaoyu, I was wrong, you have to save me, I don't want to live with Aunt Lei!"
Gu Jinli: "Then you should be honest and sensible, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will be obedient and will never cause trouble for you." Ji Zhenniang nodded hurriedly, and Zhu Chai was shaken.
Gu Jinli was satisfied, but said: "Then let's go to Shengjing Building for breakfast... This man should live his whole life and try something good when he has the opportunity."
“My nephew-in-law is right, hurry up and get ready, let’s go to Shengjing Tower.” Widow Xiao greeted everyone and took the car together to Shengjing Tower.
Just after three quarters past nine o'clock, there was already a lot of excitement outside, with the banging of joyful drums, the sound of people calling for friends, and the shouts of the soldiers and horses from the five cities.
There are various lanterns hanging on the roadside. As the light and shadow rotate, there are waves of subtle fragrance coming from the plum blossoms placed nearby.
There was a naughty child who wanted to pick flowers to play with, but was stopped by an adult at home: "These are flowers to welcome the triumphant army. You cannot pick them. You will be fined!"
The little doll was not old enough to love money, but he immediately retracted his hand: "I won't pick the flowers that welcome heroes, I won't pick them!"
Dang, Dang, Dang!
“Everyone move forward, don’t stand still in the blockade!” The soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division beat gongs and shouted to disperse the crowded crowd.
"This is too lively." Widow Xiao was afraid that something would happen if there were too many people.
Fortunately, the further you go towards the main street, the less crowded it is, because five cities’ troops have built a shield wall to separate the crowd layer by layer. After walking for half an hour, Gu Jinli and his carriage arrived at Shengjing Downstairs.
Qu Naijian, who is in charge of Shengjing Tower, hurriedly brought the palace servants to greet her: "I'm here to pay my respects to the Duke of Qin and all of you ladies. The second floor has been vacated. Please go upstairs."
He also said: "Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Luo are all here."
“Second Aunt/Second Aunt/Sister Xiaoyu!” Sisters Xiaoyue, Xiaozhang and Shang Yuanyuan waved to Gu Jinli from the second floor after seeing her.
Gu Jinli smiled: "I'll go up right now, but you two, don't get too close to the window!"
He took Widow Xiao and the others upstairs.
There is a female official in the building who has arranged everything. After entering the private room, it is as convenient as entering your own home.
Shang Xiucai's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, saw her and said with a smile: "Finally we are here. Sister-in-law Gu and Third Po Gu have been talking about you, and they are afraid that you will be blocked in the middle of the road."
Thanks to the Gu family, she and Yuanyuan were able to enter Shengjing Tower to watch the ceremony.
Shang Xiucai finally figured out that he was now entering the court as an official, working in the Ministry of Rites, and selecting talents for the court. Because Enke was at the end of February, he had been very busy recently.
Gu Jinli smiled, and after talking to Mrs. Cui and the third grandma for a while, he went to tease Xie Jianing and Wu Liudong's daughter: "Xiao Zhizhi, you have this bulging belly, what kind of treasure is in it?"
“Sirourou!” Xiao Zhizhi couldn’t speak clearly, but he said it very proudly.
Hahahaha, Gu Jinli laughed happily.
Xie Jianing was also amused by her daughter, but she still felt a little regretful because Wu Liudong could not come back this time.
However, she can understand... Datianshu Prefecture and Wuzhou Mining Area both need soldiers and horses to protect them, and they cannot all come back.
“Sister Xiaoyu!” Xiaoxinghua also came and rushed towards Gu Jinli as soon as she went upstairs. Mrs. Xiao was jealous again.
Not long after, the family members of the generals including Han’s sister Yu, Meng Hong’s daughter-in-law, etc. also arrived one after another.
咚—
咚—
咚—
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the big cauldron bell in the imperial city rang, and Wei Xiao led hundreds of officials and the prince's children to begin the sacrifice.
Half an hour later, the sacrifice was over. Wei Xiao ignored Mr. Zheng's persuasion and insisted on taking Qiang Qiang directly to the gate of the capital to welcome Qin Sanlang in person.
Even though we had seen each other half a month ago, at this moment, my cousins still have red eyes when they see each other again.
Qin Sanlang knelt down and said, "Wei ministers, please pay homage to your majesty. Your majesty is safe and sound. Fortunately, we ministers did not disgrace their orders and repelled the bandits!"
"Okay!" Wei Xiao stepped forward, helped Qin Sanlang up, and hugged him: "With you here, David is not afraid of foreign enemies!"
The king and his ministers embraced each other at the city gate, which was so touching that it made people cry.
However, there are also many people who secretly think... Wei Xiao must be pretending. After all, throughout the ages, the emperor and the heroes in charge of the military have nothing to say sincerely, but they love to play the role of a king and his ministers.
This must be for everyone to see!
Nonsense, Wei Xiao is sincere this time... He has suffered a lot and suffered a lot. If he still doesn't understand who is really good to him; if there are still many suspicions, then he really doesn't deserve to be in the country.
