Huh?
"The child beside Jinghui is a student of the Golden Scale Academy, right? Which school is he from? "
Qiguan Rang waved his fan, his brows furrowed in displeasure.
Wanzhou was liberal, but that didn't mean that other people's boys could touch their daughters.
Most scholars in ancient times were short-sighted. It wasn't high, but it wasn't as good as a general's.
Qiguan Rang could recognize Qiguan Jinghui, but he couldn't tell who the boy beside her was.
Liyun glanced at him and said, "Master Sun's grandson is called Sun Lan."
He still remembered that Sun Lan was an introverted and shy boy, but now he was much more outgoing.
"Sun Zaidao's grandson? So it's him. "
When Jiang Pengji sent troops to Meng Zhan, Qiguan Rang was in charge of Chongzhou and assisted Sun Wen in governing Beizhou (Beijiang).
He often heard Sun Wen talk about his grandson, so he had an impression of him.
Liyun smiled and said, "The children have a good relationship."
The parents' generation had a good relationship, so they naturally hoped that the next generation would get along well.
If nothing unexpected happened, these children would be the cornerstone of the future. If they had a good relationship, it wouldn't be easy to have disagreements.
Qiguan Rang snorted coldly and didn't comment.
Liyun saw that he was unhappy, but he couldn't think of anything that had angered Qiguan Rang, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
"Jinghui, your father is looking over here."
Sun Lan saw Qiguan Rang looking over and waved his hands excitedly.
Changsheng glanced around and saw Liyun. She turned to the chubby girl in Shangguan Wan's arms and said, "Nuannuan, your father is over there."
The chubby girl was Liyun's eldest daughter. She was named Li Nuan, and her nickname was Nuannuan.
She lived up to her name. She was always smiling and would laugh at whoever teased her. Her smile was warm and clean, and she rarely cried.
Changsheng and the others liked her very much when they first saw her.
Nuannuan was at the age where she liked to babble. The first word she learned was "father."
Hearing the familiar pronunciation, she immediately turned to look at Changsheng. She smiled, revealing her red gums and two or three white teeth.
"Father … Father …"
Shangguan Wan tapped the tip of Nuannuan's nose with her finger and said, "Daddy will be able to see it when he comes back. The window isn't high, so it's not safe to approach it."
Changsheng's children were not tall, so they would be fine if they leaned against the window. However, it would be different if she carried Nuannuan close to the window.
Nuannuan did not know what Shangguan Wan was talking about. Instead, she opened her mouth and sucked on Shangguan Wan's fingertip.
The atmosphere in the private room was harmonious and relaxed, but the atmosphere outside was still high.
"Master …"
Jiang Pengji got off the horse and threw the reins to the soldiers. Feng Jin and Feng Zhen, who had been waiting for a long time, went forward to welcome her.
Cheng Yuan was also there, but his cheeks were thinner than before, and his chin was sharper.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Pengji raised her hands and helped them up.
"It's not hard at all. It's part of my duty to share my lord's burden."
It was not a place for them to chat and reminisce about the past. Jiang Pengji returned to the manor and sent people to disperse the people who had gathered together in an orderly manner.
Because they were tired from the long journey, Jiang Pengji considerately asked everyone to go back to the manor and rest for a while. The rest of the matters could be discussed the next day.
Han Yu and Xie Ze were both newly surrendered. It was reasonable to say that they had no property in Wanzhou.
However, Jiang Pengji had already sent people to bring their families to Wanzhou in advance. The manor and residences had already been prepared.
Xie Ze returned to the manor under the guidance of a servant. From afar, he saw his wife waiting at the gate with her servants. He was very excited.
He had been mentally prepared to die on the battlefield and be separated by life and death. He had never thought that there would be a day when they would be reunited again.
When a husband and wife met, they naturally had a lot to talk about.
Compared to the harmonious and sweet relationship between the husband and wife, the other couple was a little cold.
Han Yu and his wife were considered a young couple. They knew each other very well. He could tell at a glance whether his wife treated him sincerely or perfunctorily.
Her husband had just escaped from death. Even if she didn't welcome him warmly, she should at least ask about his well-being. However, his wife didn't even bother to put on a show.
Thinking about what Wei Ci had said earlier, Han Yu felt very upset.
"Does my wife resent your husband?" Han Yu asked softly.
Mrs. Han had a dignified demeanor. There was not a single flaw on her body. She was as perfect as an exquisite porcelain doll.
"I am more than happy that you have come back safely. Why would I resent you?" Mrs. Han smiled and turned around to order the servant girls. She asked the servants to prepare hot water and clean clothes for Han Yu. At the same time, she asked the concubines from the backyard to come out and serve Han Yu.
Han Yu didn't take any concubines after his marriage. However, he had two servant girls who served him before his marriage. Mrs. Han generously accepted them and even raised their status.
Not only did she treat the concubines well, but she also took good care of the sons of the concubines. They were so perfect that there was no fault to be found.
Seeing this, Han Yu could only sigh.
"My wife, why don't we have a talk?" Han Yu said.
Mrs. Han seemed to be surprised. She asked him in reply, "Talk about what?"
Han Yu choked and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
He could see that his wife was dissatisfied and even resentful. However, she denied it, so he couldn't force her.
"Nothing. Master Yuanjing is here now. As his disciple, I should pay him a visit."
Mrs. Han smiled. "If that's the case, I will help you prepare. It's rude to come empty-handed."
Han Yu could only stare at her.
When Mrs. Han was about to walk out of the door, he said, "Although the Duke of Lanting is a woman, she is also an outstanding person. She is no worse than the Duke of Xinzhao."
In Han Yu's eyes, Jiang Pengji was certainly no worse than Xu Pei, but she still had to say what she had to say.
"Langjun is the head of the family. I am just a woman from the backyard. Why are you telling me this?"
Mrs. Han maintained a perfect smile on her face, but she was unhappy in her heart.
First, she was sent to Wanzhou as a captive. Although he didn't neglect or offend her, it still bothered her and made her feel bad.
She thought that Han Yu would rather die than surrender. He might not imitate Cheng Xun, but he wouldn't surrender to Liu Xi easily.
She didn't expect that Han Yu would surrender to a new master so easily. Moreover, the new master was not close to the gentry but friendly to the poor.
Han Yu's surrender to Liu Xi became a joke among the gentry in Zhe County, which made her feel even more ashamed.
That feeling turned into resentment, but she buried it deep in her heart and didn't want to talk about it with others.
Han Yu really didn't have a good eye.
That day, every household was not peaceful.
Liyun went home, hugged his daughter and kissed his wife. He was so happy that he looked like a fool.
Before the banquet started, the gatekeeper outside the house announced that a guest had arrived.
"Who is it?"
The gatekeeper said, "The guest claims to be from the Xie family."
Liyun suddenly remembered who it was and heard a clang. His father, Xie Qian, was so shocked that he dropped his chopsticks on the table.
"The Xie family?" Xie Qian was surprised.
