Due to the rules, before entering other counties, the excess medicinal materials need to be transferred to the caravan cargo.Caravans and family visiting teams are different in nature, and there is no limit to the amount of goods, as long as the specified number of people can take care of them, it is their ability to bring as much as they can.

All the caravans are operating at full capacity, there are too many carriages, and there will always be some room left if they are squeezed together, which is just convenient for people like Wen Zhuocheng to do things.This is just a trivial matter, the three families in the caravan traveling together are willing to give this convenience to Ji's family. In the future, they will need to rely on Ji's prefect for many things, and they hope to establish a good relationship with Ji's family.

The two little guys have good adaptability. Except for a little discomfort and a minor illness during the first trip, the rest of the trip went smoothly.Children are full of energy, and the difficult long journey is no different from an outing in their eyes. After a long journey, people are thinner, but they are very energetic.

On the contrary, those accompanying servants reacted the most. They are all people who are useful in front of their masters. They have not experienced much hardship.

The servants are servants after all, there are not many things that require them to be busy when they are in the Wen family, and the Wen family is also a wealthy family, their food and clothing are more than that of ordinary people, if not worse.In the current situation, they have to work hard to overcome all kinds of discomfort. They are here to serve people, not to enjoy blessings, and they don't have so much time for them to rest.

Different from the nuns and servant girls sent by the Wen family, the servants of the Ji family are all young and middle-aged, and they have been exercising all the year round. They are very energetic when they look at them. It's not so easy to get along with, the robbers have to weigh it carefully before they rob.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and vice versa.At this moment, there are many restrictions on doing business and visiting relatives. Similarly, they have caught up with a good time.It has only been a few months since the truce. Due to various reasons, the princes of all counties are trying their best to eliminate bandits and road tyrants, especially the main roads, and soldiers are patrolling back and forth.The caravan was lucky, the journey went unimpeded, and they didn't even see the robbers.

Not only the caravan accompanied by Ji's family, but also most other teams.This is all thanks to the policies of the various counties. Otherwise, the war has just passed, and the various forces are intricate. If there is no ruthless rectification, there will not be too many bandits and bandits, and you must be careful when traveling.If one is not done well, it is not impossible to go out vertically and come back sideways. What is worse, the head is in a different place, and even the corpse cannot be found.

From this point of view alone, the division of the Jin Dynasty into five counties is not a mistake.

It was getting closer and closer to the capital city of Yingzhou. As the leader of the Ji family's trip, Qiu Cheng sent Zhifu back to Jifu to report the news when he was still about an hour away from the capital city of Yingzhou.Master Wen Er has a good relationship with his masters, and deserves the courtesy that masters greet him at the gate of the city.

Unfortunately, on this day, Ji Xuanhe was still working in the government office, and only Shao Yunchen could come forward in Ji's mansion.When he heard Zhifu's report, he was stunned for a while, and then he realized that the second uncle came in person, but he never thought of it.Shao Yunchen tidied up his appearance a bit, changed into more formal clothes, called Qiu Boduan's mother, transferred a few people from the mansion, and hurried to the north gate.

At this time of year, it's freezing cold outside, Mama Duan asked someone to prepare a few hand warmers, Shao Yunchen took it after thinking about it.He didn't ride a horse, he carried one by himself, and sat in the carriage with Qiu Boduan's mother, listening to the sound of hoofbeats, the emotions that had just surged slowly calmed down.

From the capital city to the prefecture city of Yingzhou, almost the entire Jin Dynasty has been crossed, which can be called a long distance. The second uncle can make such a trip, Xuanhe's intentions are finally not in vain.Shao Yunchen's thoughts were racing. Before the war, his uncle also took a trip to Xilin County in person. Some people thought about it. After all, it was a comfortable thing. Pan Mingjie didn't come this time, which was not beyond Shao Yunchen's expectations. On the contrary, Wen Zhuo Cheng's arrival greatly exceeded their husband and wife's expectations.

The distance between the two places is too far, and it will take at least several months to go back and forth. Not everyone has the ability to travel.Going out is not like doing things at home. You have to consider all aspects, and if something goes wrong, it may cause irreparable regrets.Traveling in ancient times was not easy. It didn't mean that you could just walk. If you don't have any financial means, you will suffer if you travel far.

Qiu Cheng calculated the time very accurately. Not long after Shao Yunchen arrived at the North City Gate, he saw a convoy appearing in his line of sight. It was a little far away and he couldn't see clearly.He reckoned that this convoy should be the convoy he was waiting for, and he signaled the carriage to go a little further, found a suitable position, and waited quietly.

Shao Yunchen's family was not the only ones waiting in front of the city gate for their family's return. The three families in the caravan had received the news. Like Shao Yunchen, each family occupied a place and was looking forward to it.

The sound of horseshoes rattling gradually approached, the bodyguard at the head of the convoy and the first carriage were close in sight, waiting for the people who were equal to me, the people who were related to me rushed up, and the excitement was beyond words.The risk of traveling is too high, and returning safely is the best reward for the family.

Shao Yunchen lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. The front of the convoy was full of caravan personnel. It wasn't until these carriages and horses entered the city that he saw Ji's family and Wen Zhuocheng and his party in the middle of the convoy.After waiting for the person he wanted to wait for, Shao Yunchen immediately stepped off the carriage and went to meet him.

Qiu Cheng received the message in advance and led Wen Zhuocheng and the others to leave the convoy. They all arrived in Yingzhou Prefecture, so there was no need to advance and retreat with the caravan. He had explained to the person in charge of the caravan earlier that when he saw them leave The team and the caravan personnel continued to move forward step by step without any delay.

Shao Yunchen came to Wen Zhuocheng's carriage, and said respectfully: "Second Uncle, today is not a day for the government office to rest. Xuanhe is still busy with government affairs in the government office. I am the only one to greet him. I hope Second Uncle will not mind."

After saying that, Shao Yunchen motioned Qiu Cheng to pass some hand warmers to the two nephews, and he took one himself and sent it to Wen Zhuocheng.

"We're all from our own family, so there's no need to be so particular about it. We haven't seen each other for ten years, but why are we becoming more polite." Wen Zhuocheng would be more polite if it were someone else. His own nephew, he never knew how to write the word polite. For his nephew, Jun Lang, he also loves his house and loves his crow, and treats him the same way he treats his nephew, "Let's go, you don't need that set of politeness to me, it's cold outside, don't get sick from the cold."

Shao Yunchen followed the good example, indeed, it was boring to stand foolishly by the official road of the city gate in the winter, so he followed Wen Zhuocheng's wishes, and the group set off again.

The third entrance courtyard of the Ji Mansion has never been used. It is said that it belongs to the category of the backyard and should not be reserved as a guest courtyard.The situation of Jifu is special, there is no mistress, so Shao Yunchen's arrangement is not too rude.

Originally, the front yard was enough to accommodate Wen Zhuocheng, grandpa and grandson, but the front yard was crowded with people, and it was difficult to have a quiet time living there, which disturbed the rest of the three, so Shao Yunchen simply moved them to the third yard. .There is a small kitchen there, and with a little tidying up, you can start a meal. If you want to eat something between meals, you don't have to bother the big kitchen. The second uncle and the others will definitely be more comfortable eating.

Wen Zhuocheng's father and grandson took a rest after washing up. They had already had their lunch on the way. What they need most now is a good rest.Shao Yunchen was not a dull person, after making all the arrangements, Wen Zhuocheng and the three were left to rest on their own, while he began to prepare for the reception banquet in the evening.

"Father, I heard that there are two little cousins ​​here, can my brother and I play with them?" The two brothers Ji Ningyou and I have been in Ji's house for nearly two months, and their sallow complexion and stature are no longer there. As thin as before, he already has some vivaciousness that he should have at his age.

"Well, I can see my little brothers at night, don't be crazy." Shao Yunchen has a lot of things to do right now, but he is not impatient, and he carefully answers the eldest son's doubts.

"Father, I also want to play with my little brother." Ji Ningran was not to be outdone, and clamored that he would also participate.When a child is young, he tends to be forgetful. Ji Ningran obviously adapted to life in his new home faster than Ji Ningyou.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you guys have enough fun tonight. Dad has something to do right now, so go play on your own." Shao Yunchen signaled Nanny Ping to take the two children down.

Ji Ningyou and Ji Ningran were a little reluctant, but they were very obedient. After saying goodbye to Shao Yunchen, they retreated politely.In the past two months, the two brothers have learned most of all kinds of routine etiquette. It's not that Shao Yunchen deliberately made things difficult for them, but that they will have to be put on the table soon.Disrespect is not a good thing for the two brothers. It is easy to be whispered behind the scenes and spread into the ears of the two brothers. It is not good for their growth. If they hear too much, there may be waves on the ground. This is not Ji Xuan and his wife. husband would like to see.

Ji Xuanhe got the news that his second uncle came to see him, so he dealt with the affairs of the day as soon as possible, and returned to the house on time when it was time to go to the office.In the dust-cleaning banquet in the evening, Ji's family did not invite outsiders, and the whole family ate a home-cooked meal carefully prepared by the chef, and it was enjoyable.

There are not many masters in the Ji family, Ji Xuan and his husband sit at the same table with Old Master Zhen and Wen Zhuocheng, Wen Zixin, Wen Ziwu, and the two brothers Ji Ningyou and Ji Ningran sit at another table, the four little guys, the oldest is only seven or eight years old , the youngest is only three years old, especially the two cousins, Wen Zi, Xin Wen and Zi Wu, who are usually accustomed to fine clothes and fine food, and their appetites are not very good. Seeing the two little cousins ​​eating happily, the two of them increased their appetites. All of a sudden the chopsticks were flying, you came and I went down after a bowl of rice, and shouted for another bowl from the nuns, the two nuns who were serving were so frightened that they talked nicely and persuaded them, and finally dismissed the two of them. The idea of ​​​​continuing bowls is replaced by a bowl of soup per person.

The bigger the rules, the more rigid they seem. The rules of the Wenfu are mostly inherited from the Wenfu before the separation of the family. During the meal, most of the time it is silent, and it is only the power of the elders to speak. Otherwise, they have no place to speak.Nanny He, who served Wen Zixin, and Nanny Hao, who served Wen Ziwu, stood behind their little master, silently observing the behavior of the Ji Mansion.

Obviously there are rules in the Ji Mansion, but they are not as strict as the big family, and they can't easily go beyond one step.Living in such a family, the masters can relax a lot. This is the condition for a family with few masters. Once there are more masters, there will be more rules, otherwise there will be no rules.The more people there are, the more difficult it is to control. There must be rules to keep a bowl of water level on the face of a big family.

The two of them knew in their hearts that the little master they were serving was not considered a favorite in the mansion, and it was thanks to the master's blessing that they were able to come out this time. They hoped that the two little masters could seize this opportunity, show more performance in front of the master, and strive to win the favor of the master. favor.Wen Zhuocheng has many grandchildren, he doesn't have so much energy and thoughtfulness, only one or two are more impressive, Wen Zi, Xin Wen Ziwu are not very favored in front of their parents, and they have the opportunity to dangle in front of Wen Zhuocheng Naturally, it was less, and it became a matter of course that he should not pay attention to it.

Wen Zhuocheng didn't have any prejudices, it's just that there was so much free time, and only so much affection, and the more people shared, the less each person could get.Except for the particularly dazzling grandchildren, he mostly treats the other grandchildren equally, occasionally calling them over to make fun of them, and nothing more.
