After leaving Donghua Gate, Gao Daquan led the horse over. Xu Ping turned over the horse and walked towards the south of the city with Gao Daquan.

At this time, the sun is about to set, and the city of Kaifeng is painted with a blurred fiery red. The crowded people on the street and the shops on both sides have a unique flavor in this blurred brilliance.

Xu Ping was as eager as an arrow, but was blocked by the crowd and could only walk slowly, becoming more and more eager.

After not returning for six years, there has been no change in Kaifeng City, but the scenery is still the same as those people. Even if it is a cover in the roadside shop, it is luxurious in its bones. Even if the pedestrians on the road look satisfied and leisurely even if they are old clothes.

This is a scenery that is only available in Kaifeng City. Even if other places are more prosperous, they no longer have this kind of demeanor.

However, in Xu Ping's eyes, the scenery seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. In the past six years, he had become accustomed to the remote land and built a rich land. Although Yongzhou was remote, Xu Ping was just a word there. Although Kaifeng was good, Xu Ping was just a small role here. Even though his official position was repeatedly promoted, he was still a small role.

To adapt to this kind of role change, it is probably not a matter of a day or a night. From taking over power to being cautious and cautious in acting, Xu Ping still has a lot to learn. Ding Wei and Hu Dan, whom he met on the road, reminded Xu Ping of the risks in the officialdom. In terms of talent and learning, Xu Ping is far inferior to Hu Dan. In terms of power and tricks, Ding Wei is also a master of his time, but now the two are forgotten in the corner of the world.

Get up early, go to work, get off work, and go home to enjoy family happiness. I hope this kind of life is in Kaifeng City.

Along Maxing Street, up Yu Street, and up to the bank of the Bian River, there were many government offices along the way, and Xu Ping's official uniform was not very conspicuous. After crossing the Zhou Bridge, officials were rare. People on the roadside couldn't help but point fingers.

"Isn't this the Dalang from Xu Guanren's family in Guanghuafang? Have you returned from Lingnan?"

Someone recognized Xu Ping and shouted loudly. Xu Ping really gave his neighbors a face to his high school, and many people remembered this young man at that time. Although Xu Ping was not at home in recent years, Xu Zheng had advanced to the next level a few years and was promoted to the ranks of the court officials. In this place where civilians live, they are the wealthy families that people talk about in their spare time.

When they recognized Xu Ping, there were people saying hello along the way, and some people tried to invite Xu Ping to their home for a drink.

Xu Ping had a smile on his face and kept bowing to the passers-by who were greeting him. Although he didn't know these people, he knew that these people were his neighbors and the ones who lived with them.

The Xu family was not close to the main road by the Bian River. They didn't walk far away and turned into the alley. There were more idle children following Xu Ping. They kept singing praises and congratulating the Xu family on Gaosheng's return home.

Turning into the alley in front of his house, the familiar feeling suddenly came to his face, and Xu Ping felt a feeling of tears. After leaving his hometown for several years, he still couldn't let go of this small courtyard after many major things.

Sun Qilang and Liu Xiaoyi, who came back early, stood at the entrance of the alley. When they saw Xu Ping and Gao Daquan, they ran up to salute. Liu Xiaoyi led Xu Ping's horse. Sun Qilang accompanied Gao Daquan to the Xu family's courtyard.

Xu Chang stood at the door, directing the two servants to carry a large hang of firecrackers and look over his feet. As soon as he saw Xu Ping and others turning into the alley, he hurriedly ordered the firecrackers to be lit.

The crackling sound of firecrackers mixed with people's noise, black smoke floated in the bright red glow, naughty children jumped and sang children's songs, and the Xu family was incredibly lively for a while.

The servant carried a basket full of copper coins. Xu Chang scattered a lot of copper coins, and the idle man and the children laughed and snatched it. Everything looked like Xu Ping was when he returned home from Donghuamen.

After passing through the chaotic crowd, Xu Ping entered his yard, took a breath, tidyed up his clothes, and walked towards the main room.

Xu Pingzheng and his wife sat in the middle, Lin Suniang stood aside, and a little girl of six or seven years old leaned against Zhang Sanniang's legs, looking at Xu Ping who was coming in from outside the door curiously.

Xu Ping quickly stepped forward and saluted Xu Zheng and his wife: "My parents are in good health. The child has been away for many years and cannot be filial in front of him. He is not the duty of a son, and he feels guilty!"

Xu Zheng said with a stern face: "Loyalty and filial piety are not both true. If you do things for the court with peace of mind, your parents will be at ease."

Zhang Sanniang couldn't help but shed tears and waved to Xu Ping: "Come here, let me see if you have changed in the past few years, have you gained weight or lost weight. Poor, I haven't seen each other for six years!"

Xu Ping stepped forward, Zhang Sanniang held Xu Ping's hand and looked up and down, while constantly wiping her tears.

The daughter Panpan in front of her grabbed Zhang Sanniang's hand tightly, and looked at Xu Ping with big eyes constantly curiously, pursing her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xu Ping looked at his daughter. When Panpan saw this strange man looking at him, he leaned against Zhang Sanniang.

Xu Ping had no choice but to turn his head to look at Lin Suniang who was standing aside, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Lin Suniang smiled with her lips pursed, looked at Xu Ping crookedly, and didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhang Sanniang holding Xu Ping again and not letting go, Xu Zheng coughed heavily: "The child is back from afar, how can you hold him like this? Now he is older, no longer when he was a child, he is a husband and father, not just your son!"

After hearing this, Zhang Sanniang wiped her tears, then let Xu Ping go, took his hand, and then pulled Panpan over, pointed at Xu Ping and said to Panpan: "This is your father, call her father quickly."

Panpan looked at Xu Ping, tilted his head, and his mouth was about to open several times without opening it. He didn't know what he remembered, and laughed "puffed" and got into Zhang Sanniang's arms.

Zhang Sanniang shook her head helplessly: "This girl is usually very cute and has a sweet mouth. Why do she feel shy when she sees her father!"

Panpan looked at Xu Ping, smiling so hard that his eyes turned into two crescent moons, but he just didn't speak.

Xu Ping took out a small doll carved by the object from his body and shook it in front of Panpan: "This is a gift my father brought to you from a very far place. Do you like it?"

Panpan nodded, but did not speak, and looked up at Zhang Sanniang.

Zhang Sanniang sighed. She was used to Panpan's habit. Her granddaughter had never said no to her when she grew up. She took the doll from Xu Ping and stuffed it into Panpan's hand. She said in her mouth: "Children are bound to recognize their children. They will naturally become ripe in a few days."

Lin Su Niang watched while watching, just covering her mouth and laughing.

Xu Ping had no choice but to look at his daughter, shook his head, saluted his parents, and retreated to Lin Su Niang.

Lin Suniang looked at Xu Ping beside her and smiled sweetly.

After six years of not seeing each other, Lin Su Niang finally lost the childishness of the little girl who was still leaving. Her body completely grew, her demeanor became much more elegant and luxurious, adding a lot of femininity.

This is his wife. Xu Ping has not been close to a woman for six years. Seeing her look, his heart was swaying.
