Chapter 110 Dahuang comes home!
Arriving at the Chunming Gate of Chang'an City again, after crossing the Longshou Canal, Yuchi Gong's army was stationed not far away, and it was also the closest to the city from here.
According to Ji Ming, the new residence is in Chongrenfang, not far from the Imperial City. Ji Song knows its location, just north of Dongshi and east of the Imperial City.
Chang'an, as an imperial capital, has its own rules, and naturally it is impossible to bring Ji's people in together, so Ji Lu was asked to stay outside the city to manage them.
On Ji Song's way back, Ji Mansion had already received the news, which Ji Song had specially sent someone to notify.
My mother must have known about his return. It was impossible for her to be unaware of such a big news.
Ji Song was right. At this time, Zheng Li, the chief steward of the Ji Mansion, was directing many servants to clean the courtyard. The door was open outside, and the ground was swept spotlessly.
In fact, Zheng Li got the news a little earlier. He was discovered by the tribesmen who were sent there as early as the city gate. However, they did not dare to come forward during the ceremony. Of course Ji Song didn't know.
Ji's mother knew that her son was coming back, so she ignored Zhang and Youning who were talking to her and went directly to make arrangements herself. She even went to the kitchen to cook Ji Song's favorite meals.
When Zhang saw it, he said, come on, don't go sending someone to notify Xie Lian, he took You Ning to help in the kitchen.
"Sister, you really gave birth to a good son. Look, it has only been so long before you have won such a big victory. I heard Uncle Xie say that not even the Ministry of War can get involved in this reward. Your Majesty is planning to give it to Brother Ensong personally. Where is my son!"
Mrs. Zhang said this to Ji's mother while picking vegetables, while Youning listened quietly. She couldn't get in the middle of these words.
"It doesn't matter whether he deserves credit or not, as long as he is safe. I shouldn't have let him go in the first place. His father has been gone for so many years. I have long since given up those hatreds. I just want to live a good life with Brother Song."
"When he gets older, I'll ask someone to arrange a marriage for him. I'll look forward to having grandchildren."
As Mother Ji talked, she began to long for the sweet dream of having her grandchildren around her knees. She saw that Mrs. Zhang's head was covered with black lines, and she began to dream while she was still talking.
"That is, for Brother Yisong's future, he must at least find someone who is a good match."
"What a good match, as long as the two of them live a good life!"
You Ning listened to her mother and aunt talking about Brother Song's marriage. Her movements froze, and she put the vegetables on the ground and said, "I'll go out and take a look!"
"Hey! What's wrong with you kid?"
Mrs. Zhang saw her daughter's appearance, said something, didn't care, and started to do her own thing.
Mother Ji looked at You Ning's leaving figure with a thoughtful expression, but didn't say anything for the time being.
Outside the gate of Ji Mansion, after Zheng Li arranged his affairs, he kept looking around in front of the door. Looking left and right, he couldn't see the owner coming back, and he suddenly felt anxious.
"Steward Zheng, please just calm down for a while! The master of the house has sent someone to bring back the news. They will be here in a moment. Why are you spinning around in such a hurry?" Ji Shan said to Zheng Li, who was really dizzy from Zheng Li's spinning around.
Ji Shan was the former Ji Dashan. After changing his name, he always said his name was Ji Shan when meeting people. He was also a member of the Ji clan, but one generation older than Ji Song.
"I"
"He's back, Butler Zheng. The master of the house is back. He's not far away, riding a horse. He'll be there soon!" Just when Zheng Li was about to say something, news came that the master of the house was about to arrive.
He didn't care about anything at this time, and said to everyone outside the door: "Everyone of you, cheer up for me. This is the first time the head of the family has come back here. If anyone dares to offend me, be careful of your skin. Did you hear me?"
"heard it!"
Well, the voice is loud and uniform, it seems that this period of training was not in vain.
After a while, Zheng Li heard a dog barking. He listened carefully for a while and then said to the boy next to him: "Go and get all the things that Rhubarb usually likes to eat. This time I heard that Rhubarb is Delivering letters to the army is a great service, so you must take good care of it!"
"I got it, Butler Zheng! Don't worry! They are all old men in Zhuangzi and know what to do!" Nodding, Zheng Li was just just a short time, the head of the family has made such great achievements, and his career is just around the corner! Thinking back to the time when I had no choice but to meet the head of the family, I would not have the glorious days I have now. Thinking about it, I feel like I am in a dream.
"Whoosh!"
A nimble yellow figure appeared in front of everyone, and a big dark yellow dog came to them with a snow-white rabbit in its mouth.
"Ouch! This is Dahuang coming back. Come on, take out everything Dahuang likes to eat. Why haven't you come out after being in there for so long? Where are you?"
Rhubarb didn't care what these two-legged creatures were going to do. It put the rabbit in its mouth on the ground. A servant wanted to step forward, but was scared away by Rhubarb's grinning roar.
"Don't go there, no one will touch Dahuang's things except the head of the family and his wife." Zheng Li quickly stopped him.
Dahuang saw that no one came forward, so he slowly started to wander around the gate, walked to the big tree in front of the door, raised his legs and peed.
Zheng Li took a look and thought, come on, this is Dahuang claiming sovereignty over the territory.
"Run away, the rabbit ran away!"
Just then a servant suddenly shouted.
"Hurry, catch it quickly." Before Zheng Li could finish his words, he saw a figure flashing in front of him. When he stopped, he saw the rabbit that had run away and was struggling in the big yellow's mouth.
It turned out that the rabbit was not dead at all, and Rhubarb bit it without force. It was not until Rhubarb put him down that he prepared to run away, but he was caught immediately.
Perhaps knowing that there was no possibility of escape, he stopped struggling and completely accepted his fate.
"Ha! It's quite lively!"
It turned out that Ji Song had just arrived when everyone was in a hurry, and everyone was attracted by the rhubarb, so they didn't notice him.
"Master, you are finally back. My wife heard that you were coming back and was cooking your favorite meal in the kitchen!" Zheng Li saw the master and hurried over, chattering for a while.
"Okay, okay, am I coming back?"
When Dahuang saw Ji Song, he immediately stepped forward and kept pushing his head on Ji Song's thigh, asking him to hurry up.
"You idiot, you're already home, why are you so anxious!"
Dahuang didn't care. Despite his constant urging, Ji Song was so annoyed that he couldn't help it. He handed Honglei to the guard, stepped over the burning brazier, and entered the gate with Dahuang.
"Okay, go ahead and do what you have to do, and don't bother me!"
Pushing Dahuang away, Ji Song headed to the backyard under the leadership of Zheng Li.
After all, this was his first time here, and the house was quite big. He didn't want to make a joke tomorrow about the head of the Ji family getting lost when he returned home for the first time.
Dahuang seemed to understand Ji Song's words. He smelled it on the ground for a while and then ran towards the backyard.
Ji Song then patted his forehead in annoyance. With rhubarb, why would anyone need to guide him? With rhubarb's sense of smell, he might have already asked about his mother's scent. He could find it just by looking for the smell.
Thinking of this, Ji Song stopped caring about Zheng Li and quickly chased Dahuang. He really missed his mother. He didn't know if he had lost weight or if he had eaten well and slept well!
