Chapter 590 Are You Xiao Liu'er?
Although he couldn't hear what they said, when he saw Wan Sheng standing in front of Lang Chao's horse, he looked embarrassed, Jiang Ling knew that things might change.
Lang Chao took the exam in the same year as his father, ranked third in the first place in the palace examination. He once paraded with Uncle Guo and was incredible. Later, he joined the Right Yu Lin Guard and served under General Feng Xian'an. He was named General Dingyuan because he "sees through" the Khitan Shangshu who attempted to enter Kang'an City to spy on news last year.
But Jiang Ling knew that he thought that the Khitan businessman was actually dozens of refugees escaped from Suzhou. Jiang Ling also knew that Feng Xian'an, the general of the Right Yulin Guard, was actually Qin Tianye's minion. On the day his aunt entered Beijing, Lang Chao might have made things difficult for him.
My aunt went to Kang'an to visit relatives and friends, and there was nothing shameful about it. She didn't want the officers and soldiers to unbox the box and inspect it in front of everyone. One reason was that the car was mostly valuables, and she was afraid of damage and missing; the other was that she was not exposed to her wealth, so she would avoid causing trouble.
Since Lang Chao made things difficult, let him see it. Jiang Ling first reminded Jiang Cai and Jiang Ming to say a few words before he stepped forward and said loudly, "My nephew Jiang Ling, pay homage to General Lang."
Lang Chao immediately smiled, "Wansheng said it was Ling'er, your aunt from Yingzhou to visit relatives?"
"It's..." After Jiang Ling said two words, he wanted to say a few more words like his father, but he walked around his mouth for a few times, but he swallowed it back and decided to deal with it accordingly.
Lang Chao looked at the eight carriages that were dusty a few feet away, saying, "There is an order in the army that in order to ensure the safety of the capital, the convoys entering Beijing from other places must be investigated strictly. Not to mention Wan Sheng, even this general dared not turn a blind eye to let the convoy enter the city. Ling'er, look..."
When Wan Sheng heard Lang Chao say this, his brows frowned. However, when he was a senior, he could not refuse to listen to Lang Chao's orders.
Jiang Ling did not change his face and held his fists and said, "General Lang misunderstood. No matter who comes to Beijing, the luggage he brings should be checked according to the rules. Just because his aunt and cousin are women and the boxes and cages he brings are mostly women's belongings, my nephew asked General Lang to avoid the eyes and ears of the people so as not to embarrass them."
Lang Chao pretended to be enlightened, "So that's the case? That's it. When you check the carriages and horses in Yingzhou, you must be careful not to disturb the female family."
"Yes!" The team of officers and soldiers behind Lang Chao responded loudly, and rushed towards the convoy.
Wan Sheng was anxious, "General..."
Jiang Ling stopped Wan Sheng and prevented him from having a conflict with Lang Chao. Seeing this, the people brought by Jiang Ling took the initiative to open the car door or the tarp on the car, waiting for the officers and soldiers to check.
"Please get off the carriage with your wife and girl, and we will check the carriage." The officers and soldiers shouted to Mrs. Zheng on the carriage under the carriage.
None of the carriages that had just entered the city got out of the car and were investigated. Jiang Ling stepped forward and stopped the car with a calm face and said, "General Lang, there are female family members in the car. Kang'an City has no rules to let female members get out of the car for inspection."
Lang Chao didn't expect Jiang Ling to stop him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone coming on a horse. When he looked back, his brows frowned. When he looked back at Jiang Ling, his smile became much warmer, "Ling'er is right, women don't have to dismount. You..."
"Lang Chao, what are you doing here?" Before Lang Chao could finish speaking, Chai Yian had already pulled the reins and tied the horse, frowned and shouted.
In terms of official positions, Lang Chao was General Dingyuan of the fifth grade, and was one level higher than General Chai Yian, who was the fifth grade of General Ningyuan. In terms of age, Lang Chao was seven years older than Chai Yian. However, when Chai Yian called him a "boy", Lang Chao had to hold it in his heart and said with a fist, "General Chai, Lang was passing here and saw many cars and horses in the capital, so he stayed to help test it."
Chai Yian didn't take his tricks. He swung his whip and seemed careless but was actually very threatening, "Today, Master Nancheng's third gate is in charge, so you don't need your help."
Lang Chao dared not refuse to obey, so he clasped his fists and took the people away. Chai Yian then raised Qiao Jiangling's head with a whip and cursed, "You kid, your family has arrived at the gate of the city. Why don't you send someone to greet the fourth uncle?"
Seeing the visitor drinking away the general who was looking for trouble and having a friendly conversation with his nephew, Mrs. Zheng got out of the car with her three children and walked towards her.
Seeing this, Chai Yian also jumped off his horse.
Jiang Ling recommended to both parties, "Uncle Fourth, this is my aunt; Auntie, this is my father's best friend, Uncle Chai Fourth."
The surname is Chai? Isn’t that a relative of the royal family? Mrs. Zheng took the child to salute. Before she could say anything, Chai Yian smiled and bowed, "Mrs. Sister-in-law is exhausted all the way, so go back to the carriage to rest. Yian will let someone check the carriage and then send her sister-in-law into the city."
General Chai really gave her enough face. Mrs. Zheng returned the gift, "I have a job as a fourth brother."
Fourth brother Chai Yian's smile became more real and raised his hand and said, "Please get in the car with my sister-in-law."
After Mrs. Zheng brought the children into the car, Chai Yian ordered Wan Sheng to arrange for people to check the carriage and horses, and then sent them into the city gate.
After entering the city gate, the three little guys looked out from the car window and looked at the wide streets of Kang'an City, and burst into screams. Jiang Ling whispered to his aunt, "You were scared just now."
Mrs. Zheng waved her hand, "There are too many people and many troubles, what's this matter? Haven't we come in safely? Who is General Chai just now?"
"Uncle Chai Si is the fourth son of King Jiashun, and my adoptive father's best friend. He is now working in the Yulin Guard. The wife of General Wansheng, who guards Mingde Gate, was originally the eldest maid who serves my father." Jiang Ling introduced.
A general who can marry a maid from the Jiang family must have been poor. Mrs. Zheng nodded and wanted to ask what happened to the boy named Lang just now, but it was not the time to say this, so she started talking to her nephew.
As soon as the Zheng family carriage entered Jiafang, Mrs. Zheng heard her nephew murmur, "Aunt, there is a very beautiful little girl smiling at me by the side of the road."
Zheng Caiwei also said, "Mom, she is really beautiful. It turns out that the girl in Kang'an City is so beautiful..."
Beautiful? My sister is here? Before Jiang Ling could lift the curtain to look out, he heard Jiang Cai say, "Madam, young master, sixth girl and uncle Qiu are here."
Miss Jiang Liu? Mrs. Zheng picked up the curtain of the car. She was first shocked by the scars on Uncle Qiu's face, and then was shocked by Jiang Liu's beauty.
This is the girl from the exiled immortal Jiang Feng’s family? This is so beautiful!
Jiang Ling waved to his sister and said to her aunt, "Aunt, that's my sister Jiang Mulan, nickname Liuer."
Before Jiang Ling finished speaking, Mrs. Zheng had already jumped out of the carriage, took two steps in front of Uncle Qiu, and bowed to him with his fists, "I will pay homage to Mr. Qiu!"
The three children also jumped out of the carriage and saluted, "Greetings to Grandpa, the military advisor."
Seeing that they gave such a great gift to Uncle Qiu, Jiang Liu was slightly stunned and then moved.
Uncle Qiu quickly raised his hand, "Madam, please get up quickly, you have ruined me like this."
"You are so kind, I am worthy of this worship." After Mrs. Zheng finished speaking with Uncle Qiu, she bent down and pinched Jiang Liu's little face and smiled, "Are you Xiao Liuer? Your brother always mentions you in his heart. Aunt thought that you must be a good and well-behaved and cute child, but she didn't want you to be so beautiful!"
