3, family affection
On the dock, the slaves of King Qian's Mansion had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as they saw the Cheng family's ship docked, they quickly greeted them.
"I've met the county magistrate, and I've met your highness." The domestic slave of King Qian's Mansion knelt down and saluted the father and daughter of the Cheng family and said, "The little ones, on the order of the prince, are here to pick up the gentleman and the gentleman."
Cheng Yuhang nod and said, "Okay, lead the way."
Cheng Yuanjia silently followed his father and followed the people of the royal palace to the front of a gorgeous carriage.
Before getting on the bus, Cheng Yuhang called the housekeeper of the Cheng family in the capital who came to greet him, asked him to settle the entourage, and hurriedly left by car with his daughter.
In the car, Cheng Yuhang smiled and said to his daughter, "Good daughter, the medicine you gave me yesterday really works. After drinking it, my rheumatism is obviously much better, and I can hardly notice the pain."
Cheng Yuanjia thought to herself, of course, it works. This is the powder I scraped from the elixir of the cultivation world. If it doesn't work, those alchemy guys can find an old tree with a crooked neck and hang it to death.
In those years, in addition to three longevity-reducing pills, there were also a lot of unknown elixirs from Qingfengmen. Later, when she had nothing to do, she slowly took them out and classified them. There were actually a lot of elixirs that were very useless for her. For example, some treat diseases, strengthen the body and so on. After reincarnation, as soon as she took back the universe nine-star ring, she immediately sorted out these messy medicine. Although it meant nothing to her at all, because these elixirs were not strong, they could be taken by mortals after diluting.
The universe nine-star ring is the leading magic weapon in the world of cultivation. The nine-star has its own world, and the large amount of storage is also rare. Therefore, all the possessions in the Xiuzhen period of Suling are in the nine-star ring. After taking the nine-star ring back from the depths of the yuan god, Yuanjia felt that she had the confidence and no longer needed to be afraid of anyone and things.
"As long as the father feels better, the daughter will feel at ease." Cheng Yuanjia tried her best to make herself look very relieved.
Cheng Yuhang looked at his daughter who was becoming more and more charming and said, "I really don't know which lucky person will be my son-in-law in the future. Don't marry a mediocre person with such an excellent daughter."
"Don't worry, if I'm not satisfied with the person chosen by the emperor, I won't get married." Cheng Yuanjia said stubbornly, "I will choose a satisfactory one by myself and let the emperor give me a marriage."
"Ha ha" Cheng Yuhang was amused by his daughter's childish remarks and said, "Silly girl, the emperor gave you marriage. If you want to resist the decree, you can resist the decree. However, you can pick it out in advance. As long as the emperor's decree has not been issued, there is room for turning back.
Cheng Yuanjia has thought about it for a long time. She came to find Zhou Qianyun's reincarnation. Even if she wants to marry, she can only marry him. It is impossible for others to become her husband. Even if the blood flows into a river, she resolutely defends her true love.
During the conversation between father and daughter, the Qianwang Mansion arrived.
Prince Qian and the princess had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. When they saw the father and daughter coming in, they didn't care about letting them salute. The princess hugged her granddaughter in her arms.
"My little boy, I want to kill my grandmother." The princess kissed her granddaughter on her forehead and said with pity, "Why didn't you come to see grandma for four years? She has grown so big and is as tall as her grandmother."
"I also want to visit my grandmother, but I have to walk for many days on the road, so I dare not go out alone." Cheng Yuanjia pretended to be aggrieved and said, "This time, I've been sitting on the boat for more than half a month. Up to now, I still feel that the ground is shaking."
"It must have been very hard on that road." The princess was distressed and said, "Come on, grandma has prepared a reception banquet for you. It's all your favorite dishes. The courtyard you live in has been cleaned up for a long time. You are not allowed to leave when you come to the capital this time. Just live with grandma until you leave the pavilion."
Prince Qian stood aside and looked at his granddaughter's giggle. He was stared at by the princess and said, "Sir, what are you still doing here? Call your son-in-law to join the table."
"Yes, yes, Yuhang, it's been hard all the way. Today, our son-in-law is going to have a good drink." Prince Qian looked at his son-in-law and said happily.
Cheng Yuhang knew that the old couple had special feelings for his daughter, and he was not unhappy because he was left alone. He immediately said, "Okay, I'm afraid that my father-in-law is invincible. Don't get me drunk."
Prince Qian said proudly, "Don't worry, I'll take it easy."
A sumptuous banquet had been set up in the back hall, and several boys and girls about the same age as Yuanjia were waiting at the door.
"Wanjia sister, you are here." When a teenager of the same age saw Yuanjia, his eyes lit up. He came forward and pulled her sleeve affectionately and said, "Do you still remember me? It's my cousin Qike."
"Are you Cousin Qi Ke?" Cheng Yuanjia looked up and down a few times and said, "Is that cousin Qike who likes to cry?"
The teenager smiled shyly and said, "Why do you always remember my embarrassing things, but you can't remember my kindness?"
"I'm sorry, the way you cried left me so deeply." Cheng Yuanjia looked happily at the cousin who had been with him for several months.
"Forget it, as long as you still remember me, I will be very satisfied." The teenager looked up to the sky and sighed, "Poor my Yushu Linfeng. Wei Qike, a super handsome man who competed Pan An and killed Song Yu, will always be just a crying bag in the eyes of Yuanjia's sister."
Cheng Yuanjia ignored this strange cousin, and several cousins on one side saluted one by one. The boys and girls who appear here are all direct grandchildren of Prince Qian, and they are not qualified to appear here.
Prince Qian and the princess gave birth to three sons and two daughters. One son and one daughter died early. When they grew up, there were also two sons and one daughter. Of course, the daughter is Cheng Yuanjia's mother, Wei Fangxuan, the princess of Yiyang. The two sons have their own. Now there are three grandchildren and two granddaughters.
Except for the two who were too young to come, the eldest son, the eldest son, the daughter and the second son, all attended the reception banquet. The eldest of the three children is Wei Qitong, who is 17 years old this year, the youngest is Wei Qike, who is 13 years old this year, and the other girl, Wei Min'er, is 14 years old this year. The real county magistrate is not like Cheng Yuanjia's county magistrate because of the emperor's special grace.
Because there are three people of similar age, the atmosphere on the table is harmonious. The two son-in-law toasting each other does not affect the children's play. The old princess just looked at her long-lost granddaughter and couldn't close her mouth.
"Brother Yuanjia, do you know that Brother Tong is going to get married this fall?" Wei Qike's big mouth could never stop the matter. He pointed to Wei Qitong and said, "The marriage was decided by Grandpa. Now it has been hired. Just wait for the specific date to be set and the bride into the door."
"Oh? Who is the bride? Cheng Yuanjia was very curious, said.
"She is the youngest daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Ceremonies. She is 16 years old this year. It is said that she is not bad-looking. She was originally the daughter of a concubine, but after Liu Shangshu's original wife died last year, her biological mother was helped by Liu Shangshu, so she was also the direct descendant." Wei Qike pointed and drew his feet.
Wei Qitong stared his cousin fiercely and said, "If you don't talk, no one will treat you as mute."
In the society they live in, the division of the legitimate son is extremely strict. The legitimate son can get a lot of privileges. He is also born from a father, and there is almost nothing from the concubine. If it hadn't been for Cheng Yuhang, even if he didn't have a legitimate son, even if Cheng Yuanjue was old, he could only live by doing business for the family and didn't inherit the family property at all. If you want to get a place in the officialdom, you have to work hard.
