I would also like to thank Captain Wu for his comprehensive arrangement. All the way, we sent sentries in advance to take care of things first, so that they would be safe and sound.
Looking at the city gate of Canghe County in front of her, Pei Xiu suddenly felt at ease, she was almost there, and after riding the carriage all the way, she was about to fall apart.
Mai was also sullen and pale, and she was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do.
Pei Xiu hugged her distressedly and comforted her, "It's almost there, darling."
She said aggrievedly: "Mother said that all the time, and she never came. I will never come to my hometown again. It's so far away."
Approaching the city gate, Pei Xiu saw someone she was familiar with, and she didn't bother to talk to her.
She opened the car window and called to a soldier guarding the gate, "Zhou Kang!"
This is the second son of Zhou Cheng's eldest brother. At that time, Young Master Shi arranged for him a job guarding the city gate for Zhou Cheng's sake.
I didn't expect to be doing this errand now.
Zhou Kang looked at his third aunt in surprise. The third uncle arrived a month ago. He said that the third aunt and several cousins were behind and would arrive soon.
He has been paying attention to the passing carriages these days, and he saw this group of men and horses and soldiers escorting them from a distance just now, so he guessed it might be his third aunt? But can't believe it.
Unexpectedly, it really is!
His third uncle really became a big official! There are so many officers and soldiers escorting the family when they travel.
He excitedly moved to the carriage, looked at the tired third aunt and said, "Third aunt, you are finally here, third uncle has been here for a month."
"Let's talk about it when we enter the city, don't delay other people's entry and exit."
Pei Xiu looked at Zhou Kang, who was still on duty, and felt relieved. The old man seemed to be out of danger for the time being.
Zhou Kang and their boss took leave and planned to follow his third aunt back to the village, and by the way, tell her about the situation at home.
The other guards at the city gate also knew that the third uncle in Zhou Kang's family was a high-ranking official. At this moment, when they saw his third aunt going out, they knew that it was not a false rumor, but a fact.
Their leader was very face-saving, smiling, and politely asked Zhou Kang to go back first, so as not to delay the family affairs.
Zhou Kang trotted beside the carriage until the carriage stopped not far from the city gate.
He excitedly looked at the three cousins who got off the bus first. After not seeing him for five years, Zhou Yong has grown into an upright young man.
The three brothers were dressed in regular clothes, but their bearing gave him a strong impact. The third uncle was really incredible.
"Second cousin!" The three brothers greeted him with a smile and nods.
Zhou Kang smiled at them bewildered, "Three cousins, are you tired from traveling all the way?"
"We're okay, my mother and Mai are probably exhausted." Zhou Yong said as he ran over to help her mother get off the carriage.
Zhou Kang also hurried over, "Aunt San, is this wheat? It's so cute."
He saw the little girl who came out from behind Pei Xiu, and said with a smile.
Mai Mai has a tired face, listless and not in the mood to pay attention to Zhou Kang in front of him, and hugs Zhou Yong's legs as soon as he gets off the carriage.
"Brother, give me a hug."
Zhou Yong picked her up distressedly, "Are you exhausted? We're almost there."
"You are all lying, and my mother kept saying that it's coming soon, it's coming soon." She flattened her mouth and accused them of grievances.
The three brothers were busy comforting her.
Gu Yan Pei Xiu turned her head and asked Zhou Kang, "How is your master, but you're awake?"
"Master was in a coma for several months, and he didn't wake up until the third day after the third uncle came back. Even the doctor said that it was a miracle that Master was able to wake up."
"Now all the rumors in the village have changed. It is said that the third uncle is the reincarnation of a lucky star. In the past few decades, he experienced calamities. Now that luck has returned, he can bring good fortune to his family."
"That's why I can wake up on the third day after my third uncle came back."
Although he is still weak now, his life is saved anyway, otherwise, if Master just goes like this, the third uncle should resign Ding You.
This serious consequence is something that their whole family cannot bear.
He thought that the master might have heard what they said subconsciously. If he died, the third uncle's official position would not be guaranteed, so he would be able to stand firm until the third uncle came back.
Pei Xiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Zhou Chengcai had just become a third-rank official. If Ding You resigned, three years later, he still didn't know what the situation would be like.
Although it's a little strange, it's great that the old man can wake up. The old man has worked hard all his life, and he has just enjoyed it.
Weakness is also normal. They also brought a lot of medicinal materials with them. When they go back, they can let the doctor see and use them.
"Fortunately, the old man is fine. Maybe he can get out of bed now?"
Zhou Kang shook his head, "No, I've been in a coma for four months, my father is getting old, and his muscles are atrophied so much that he can't get out of bed for the time being, so he can only use rice soup."
"It's good if you don't have to worry about your life, then stay in bed and take care of it first."
The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it. It's fine. It's been a long time since I finally enjoyed the blessing.
Zhou Yong suggested: "Mother, since the crisis has turned the corner, let's find a restaurant in the city to have something to eat first? With so many people going back, it is not easy to arrange meals in the village, so why not eat it?"
"Well, it's better to have less toss. This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the restaurant and sit down and talk."
Pei Xiu asked Zhou Kang and the three brothers to get into Zhou Shan's carriage. His carriage was spacious.
Going to the restaurant to sit and sit can also breathe a sigh of relief. After sitting in the carriage for two months, not to mention Mai couldn't stand it. She was almost suffocated, and she stayed in the small space of the carriage every day.
The four boys can still come out to ride with the guards from time to time, so they don't feel so stuffy, they just feel tired and haven't had a good rest~ They have generously built the largest restaurant in the county, Drunk Xianglou. It was all wrapped up, and Zhou Kang was stunned when he saw it.
Turning his head and looking at the large pile of soldiers and guards behind him, he also understood that it would be impossible not to wrap it up. There are so many people.
Fortunately, there was no business in the restaurant in the afternoon, and the shopkeeper was overjoyed to see so many people. It was rare for a large group of people to pass by in their small county.
Seeing the familiar Zhou Kang, the shopkeeper also inquired about him. Knowing that it was his third aunt returning to his hometown, he was overjoyed. Master Wednesday had been sending prey to their restaurant a few years ago.
Unexpectedly, Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.
Sitting in the restaurant, listening to the hawking from the street downstairs by the window, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Xiu asked Zhou Kang, "Is your family okay in the past few years?"
"Okay, everyone is very good. Since the third uncle became an official, the people in the village have respected their grandparents, and they all like our Zhou family. Zhou Yu, who returned home, also borrowed the light of the third uncle and found another one. The door is a good family."
"Oh? Who are you?"
"It's the yamen guard who was on duty with me. He was the first wife in the family who had a difficult childbirth. Both mother and child died. Later, the mother died. I fell in love with Zhou Yu."
