Chapter 718 Qin Sheng Returns
Hedong
Since the location and time of the tripartite peace talks were determined, the aristocratic families in Hedong have all started to move.
Fenyin is adjacent to Hancheng. When Lu Songli came to negotiate, the place of residence had already been decided to be Fenyin.
Hedong has a special geographical location and has been a place of conflict between the Han people in the Central Plains and nomadic peoples since ancient times.
The Xue family, one of the three major families in Hedong, is a powerful military family. Most of the family members have superb martial arts. They have been fighting on the front line to resist the nomadic peoples moving south and maintain the peace of Hedong.
Fenyin is the home of the Xue clan, so the Xue clan will be the main host of this reception, with the Pei and Liu clans serving as supporting members.
Pei Ruowang, the head of the Pei clan, was the first to speak, "The governor is coming, we have to do a good job of entertaining him."
Xue Yufeng, the head of the Xue clan, stressed, "Security must also be in place. The governor must not allow anything to happen in Hedong or Fenyin!"
Liu Hongwen, the head of the Liu clan, agreed with the two men. "So, before the governor arrives, we have to clean up our own territory."
"Old Xue, how about this? Let your Xue family take care of the security. Then we, the Pei and Liu families, will take care of the reception together."
When Pei Ruowang said this, Xue Yufeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the two old guys. Don't think that he doesn't know what the two are planning.
The three of them exchanged glances and competed secretly.
The three great families in Hedong have their own strengths among their descendants.
The Xue family was a valiant and brave one; the Pei family was a skilled dancer; the Liu family's children were even more accomplished in cultural attainments, having made many contributions to literature, poetry, and music. They were all handsome young men and beautiful young ladies.
The three great families had entered Pingzhou together. Now, both the Pei and Liu families had outstanding children emerging.
Pei Zheng and Pei Ji of the Pei family, and Liu Shaojun of the Liu family...
Pingzhou is a new power. Liu Shaojun is well versed in etiquette and has corrected many behaviors in Pingzhou that are not in line with etiquette. He is currently highly valued in the Pingzhou government office.
Only the Xue family is a little short of the mark, but it doesn't matter, because the Xue family and the Pei and Liu families are not on the same path.
Pingzhou, Changli
On this day, Lu Songli was reviewing official documents.
Guo Chong walked in with a cheerful face, "Governor, a friend has come from afar!"
"Who is it?" Lu Songli was a little curious. She rarely saw him so happy.
After a while, Lu Songli saw the friend Guo Chong mentioned, "Mr. Bai?"
When Bai Xingzhi saw Lü Songli, he bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Governor Lü."
Lu Songli: "Please stand up. Is the King of Jin doing well in Fusang?"
Bai Xingzhi said, "Thank you Governor Lu for your concern. The Prince of Jin is doing well in Fusang. Before leaving, the Prince of Jin asked me to send his regards to you."
Fusang is three or four times larger than the East China Sea. Now, the King of Jin has conquered Fusang with the supplies he brought from the East China Sea and the support of Pingzhou.
They adopted a strategy of pulling some down and stepping on others in Fuso to divide the indigenous people, and the indigenous people of Fuso were suppressed.
"Governor Lu, I came here to ask for a favor." King Jin decided to let him go after receiving some news.
However, neither Prince Jin nor Bai Xingzhi had expected that Pingzhou would develop so rapidly in just one or two years.
"Mr. Bai, please speak."
"It's like this..."
Jinxian Wharf
"We are back to Pingzhou!" On the boat, the soldiers of Jintai Army couldn't help cheering.
Qin Sheng found Xue Xu and said, "Mr. Xue, I'll leave the rest to you." He wanted to go back to see his wife and daughter.
Xue Xu waved his hand. He was already used to the Sixth Master leaving early.
Wei Kuang looked once, and then looked again. When he really saw Qin Sheng riding away, he couldn't help but say, "He's leaving now?" Isn't such a general a little unstable?
Xue Xu said quietly, "If you had a governor's wife who had just given birth to a daughter for you, and you hadn't seen them for three months, you would also want to go back early."
Wei Kuang choked. Doesn’t he want to have a governor’s wife?
Qin Sheng went directly to the provincial government office to see his wife.
When Lu Songli saw him, she was dazed for a moment. He was back?
Qin Sheng walked over and spun her around two or three times.
Lu Songli exclaimed and subconsciously hugged his neck.
When she was put down and looked at the dark-skinned man grinning in front of her, Lu Songli truly felt that he was really back!
"Did you bet it's worth it?" Qin Sheng asked.
"Yeah." All the urgent business has been dealt with.
"Shall we go?"
"good."
The two of them arrived outside the government office. Qin Sheng was the first to climb onto the horse and then extended his hand to her.
Lu Songli was puzzled, "Aren't we going home?"
"Let's not go back yet, let's go for a run outside the city." Going home is full of people...
Lu Songli thought about it and agreed, "Okay."
Lu Songli put her hand on it, and Qin Sheng pulled her, using the force to help her get on the horse, with her whole body held in his arms.
Then Qin Sheng pulled the reins, Zhuifeng raised his horse's hooves, neighed, and two of them rode out quickly.
Alice immediately rode up with her personal guards.
The two of them went for a crazy walk outside the city, with the guards following them not far away.
When the two returned home, they heard Qin Xuan crying loudly in the yard, and Qin's mother was coaxing her.
After Lu Songli came out of confinement, she was busy with work, and Qin Xuan was often taken care of by her mother.
Qin Xuan has two wet nurses to help take care of her, so Qin's mother just helps out, which is not tiring.
Hearing the little ancestor crying heart-wrenchingly, Lu Songli hurriedly took off his cloak, washed his hands, and took Qin Xuan to coax her.
As soon as Qin Xuan was in her arms, she grabbed her front with her small hands, and kept looking at her with her round, watery eyes. As if she was sure of something, she gradually stopped sobbing.
On the side, Qin's mother saw her youngest son, looked him up and down, and then said three words to him, "Are you back?"
After spending some time alone with his wife, Qin Sheng felt a little relieved from his homesickness and was in a good mood.
Hearing his mother talking to him, Qin Sheng quickly replied, "Yes——"
Three months later, Qin Sheng was very happy to see his mother. He was about to say a few more words to her, but Qin's mother did not give him a chance. She walked past him and went to his daughter-in-law and daughter.
Qin Sheng: I suddenly felt my status decline...
Mother Qin came to Lu Songli's side and looked at Qin Xuan with her. "This child is so smart. You came back a little late and she started yelling for help. Then soon she pouted and started crying. No matter how we comforted her, it didn't work."
Lu Songli smiled and replied, "Is that so? Then I will try to come back on time next time."
Mother Qin smiled and said, "That's fine. There's always work to do, so don't get too tired. Xiaoliu is back, let's have dinner together?"
"sure."
"Then I'll ask someone to cook a few more dishes." After saying this, Qin's mother left, leaving the space for the family of three.
Lu Songli asked Qin Sheng with a smile, "Do you want to hug her?"
Qin Sheng's eyes were filled with longing. "Is it okay?" he thought, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold her well. What if she dropped? She was so small...
"It's okay, I'll just watch from the side."
Not long after, Qin Xuan was in his arms.
Qin Sheng held his daughter in his arms, his whole body stiff, his hands and feet feeling out of control, as if he was holding a moving bag of explosives.
He looked at Lu Songli for help, and Lu Songli gave him a comforting look.
After changing the embrace and smelling the unfamiliar scent, Qin Xuan's mouth pursed and her eyes began to turn red.
Lu Songli comforted her and let her grab one of his index fingers first, "Xuan'er, this is your father, we don't have to be afraid." As he said that, he kissed her.
Qin Xuan felt her mother's voice and breath, and gradually she felt less uneasy.
Then Lu Songli helped Qin Sheng adjust his posture. Qin Sheng learned little by little, trying to make his embrace more comfortable.
