Chapter 521
An ancient said: Wealth and honor do not return home, such as walking at night in brocade.

But for Qin Dewei, this sentence is not entirely true. Does he still need to show off in Nanjing?

So if there is a chance to go back, it is simply to visit relatives and friends, there is no other meaning at all.

After all, that was the place where he first lived after time travel, and Qin Dewei still has a lot of affection.It has been a year and a half since Jiajing 13 years left Nanjing in October.

And at this time, Qin Dewei was more at ease to leave the capital.

One is that the imperial court should have no major affairs. Except for the emperor's son's birth at the end of the year, there will be no big excitement this year, so there is no need to worry about missing any good events.

The second is that the current situation in the court is temporarily stable, and it's okay to leave for a few months.

Back home, Qin Dewei told Xu Miaoxuan about his idea of ​​returning to Nanjing, and asked Xu Miaoxuan if he wanted to go back together.

Xu Miaoxuan replied: "After all, my husband is in the name of a business trip, so it is inconvenient to bring my family. I will serve my parents-in-law at home, so I will not go to Nanjing with my husband."

There are other women in Nanjing, Xu Miaoxuan doesn't want to follow her husband for various reasons.As the self-esteem of the main house, if you want to see her, it should be someone else who comes to the capital to visit her
Sure enough, as Xia Yan expected, after he recommended Qin Dewei to go to Nanjing as the imperial envoy, no one came out to fight, and no one objected.

The Nanjing temple disaster disturbed the ancestors, and it was not easy to delay this matter, so the imperial edict was issued immediately to let Qin Dewei go on the road as an envoy to Nanjing to pursue responsibility and sacrifice.

The Department of Pedestrians, who was in charge of mission affairs, quickly dispatched the entourage, and the Ministry of War also sent them to Kanhe, and then Qin Dewei set off in a hurry.

Qin Dewei has walked this waterway between the north and the south of Beijing three times, and this time he took an official boat for the first time, and there are water stations along the way to provide board and lodging.

It stands to reason that it should be easy for someone to manage food and housing, but in fact, it is more worry-free than the previous few times. The government along the way is really too enthusiastic.

Every time he stopped at a place, local officials would definitely show up to entertain him, and their attitude was very sincere, which made it difficult for Qin Dewei to refuse, because he was tired of his reputation.

Imagine going to Nanjing for official business as an envoy of the imperial court, not to mention traveling day and night, but also traveling non-stop.

So no matter how tired you were the night before, you must set off the next day without delay, otherwise you will be neglecting the king's affairs.

No matter where he stays every night, there will be a public banquet, which makes it difficult for Qin Dewei to have a good rest, but the next day he has to get up early and leave, which is simply miserable.

Qin Dewei, paralyzed in the cabin, began to miss the time when he "traveled freely".

Passing through Shandong, when I arrived in Huai'an, I met Wu Chengen and Shen Kun, and when I arrived in Yangzhou, I met Li Chunfang.

When these old people visited Qin Dewei, they all felt like they were in a trance.

Five years ago when they went to Nanjing to participate in the provincial examination, Qin Dewei was still a 13-year-old brat, and they still felt a little like elders.

At this point, I can't describe my mood other than hell.

On May 22, the imperial envoy Qin Dewei arrived at Longjiang Pass in Nanjing by boat.

On that day, although the weather started to get hot, there were crowds of spectators from the Jiang'an Pier all the way to Yifeng Gate.

Li Huan, Nanjing's garrison eunuch, Yongkang Hou Xuyuan, Nanjing's garrison minister, and Qin Jin, Minister of the Ministry of War, Nanjing Military Counselor, and Qin Jin, three unlucky men, stood in the front row by the river to welcome the court angel.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Qin Dewei watched the battle of "people, crowds, seas, gongs, drums and drums", and sighed slightly. There are gains and losses in life, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the sense of freedom temporarily.

After getting off the boat, he greeted each other with the three members of staff, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Dewei said: "I originally thought that Longjiang Pass is farther away from the city than Jiangdong Gate, so it's convenient to disembark here.

I never thought that it still disturbed so many elders, and I couldn't be more sorry. "

Qin Jin, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, replied: "The number one scholar is famous in the world and his name goes down in history. The whole city is proud of you. Now that he returns to his hometown, it is only natural for the people to come out to welcome him."

Behind the three officials, there are a group of officials, as well as relatives and friends.

After meeting the officials, Qin Dewei saw his uncle Qin Xiang.

At this time, Qin Xiang was no longer a yamen servant, and he was dressed in a embroidered official uniform, standing in the crowd like a rich man.

Qin Dewei bowed deeply to his uncle and made Qin Xiang, who had been used to it for a year, still deeply moved.

How did such a slutty nephew get the number one prize?
Afterwards, the three members invited Qin Dewei to board the car and enter the city. This time, he came here on official business, so Qin Dewei could not go home first, but first went to the disaster-stricken Taimiao for a symbolic visit.

Qin Dewei, who is eager to return to his heart, can't help it. This is because people can't help themselves in the officialdom.

He could only greet his uncle to get in the car together, and chat about family affairs on the way to Taimiao.

After entering Beicheng from Yifengmen, the land along the way is sparsely populated, mostly military camps, and the situation is good.But the further south you go, the denser the population, and more and more people are watching on both sides of the street.

Qin Dewei was sitting in the car, waving his hands from time to time to respond to the cheers from the folks, and chatting with his uncle.

Along the way, Qin Xiang was mainly talking, while Qin Dewei mainly listened.

Qin Xiang first talked about himself: "I quit my citizenship last year and gave up my yamen servant job to your aunt's nephew.

Remembering that I haven't planted any land in my life, I set up [-] acres of land outside Jubaomen, and plowed and watered it when I had nothing to do, which was really fun. "

Qin Dewei smiled and said, "It's good that uncle enjoys it."

Qin Xiang then talked about another major event: "Now that the main house of our Qin family has changed places, the original places, whether they are Qingxi House, Sanshan Street House, or the county government office, are not enough.

So on the riverside to the west of Wuding Bridge, I bought a big house for renovation. Your aunt, me, and Mrs. Gu are all living there now. "

Qin Dewei then commented: "The original house was too small, it's good to live together in a bigger one, so we can take care of each other."

In fact, in Qin Dewei's mind, only the small courtyard of Qingxi House is his real "former residence".

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "No one uses Qingxi House now?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Your good friend Wang Meiren has moved there, how can others use it?"

It's all love debts, and Qin Dewei couldn't talk about it with his elders, so he asked about his son again.

Qin Xiang said with great satisfaction: "You don't have to worry, little Kui'er, your body is very strong, if you are supported now, you can already stand up."

The third generation Dalang of the Qin family, whose name is Qin Guozuo, was nicknamed Kui'er because he happened to be born when his father was just winning the first prize.It is said that this son was born into a very rich and powerful man, the most famous child in Nanjing City.

After briefly talking about family matters, the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City of Nanjing is approaching, and Qin Dewei is going to the Taimiao, but his uncle can't follow him.

So Qin Dewei and his uncle got out of the car, and said to his uncle: "You go home first, and then go back after I finish my business for a while."

Qin Xiang nodded in agreement, turned and left.

 It takes time to plan the next stage of the plot, and it will be updated tomorrow or later depending on the situation.
