The ancient tea-cold road in May is filled with shade and full of vitality, and it really makes me feel a little cool.

Xiang Chaohai sat upright in the pavilion, with a calm expression on his face. Mrs. Xiang Er, who was standing next to her, looked anxious and kept looking at the end of the ancient road.

Xiang Shaofei stood upright at the intersection like a javelin.

"Don't worry, I said that today will come, and today will definitely come. Just wait patiently." Xiang Chaohai said to the second wife calmly.

The second wife said, "I haven't seen him, so I'm still nervous and can't be as calm as my husband."

Xiang Chaohai shook his head and said, "Qi'er's letter said he broke his arm. I'll meet later, don't mention this matter."

"Yes, husband."

After about another cup of tea, a figure of the convoy finally appeared in the distance. Mrs. Xiang Er clenched her fists and clenched the handkerchief in her hand hard. She was very nervous. Xiang Chaohai reached out to hold the second wife's hand, showing a rare look of gentleness on her face, staring at her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

The second lady nodded.

After a while the carriage approached, the coachman pulled the reins, jumped off the carriage, bowed to Xiang Shaofei, and asked, "Is it a young general, who is here to welcome the young general Xiang Qi?"

Xiang Shaofei said: "Yes, where are others?"

Before Xiang Shaofei finished speaking, he heard someone calling him "Big Brother". He looked up and saw that it was his second brother Xiang Qi getting off the carriage.

Xiang Shaofei's temper and personality are quite like a father. He is serious and honest. Among his peers in the family, except for Xiang Qiuluo, who is studying art in Lishan, who is not afraid of him, other younger brothers and sisters, including Xiang Qi, are somewhat respectful of him.

Xiang Shaofei stared at his younger brother for a while, his face trembled slightly without notice, and then said, "Go and see my father and second mother."

Xiang Qi nodded. When he walked towards the pavilion, Mrs. Xiang Er could no longer bear it. She stepped forward and grabbed her son's right arm and left sleeve, and burst into tears.

Xiang Qi's tears suddenly fell, and he smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "Mom, I'm back."

Mrs. Xiang Er nodded and cried for a while. Xiang Chaohai looked at the mother and son without saying anything, but Xiang Shaofei saw his father trembling with his cuffs when he raised his hand.

"Today your father and elder brother know that you are back, and they are all here to pick you up. Qiu Luo will come back from Lishan tomorrow." Mrs. Xiang Er wiped away her tears with her handkerchief and stared at her son's face. She found that her son was much more mature than before.

Xiang Qi patted his mother gently. Then he walked to his father, knelt on the ground, and saluted: "Welcome to my father, Father Lao, and I come to greet him in person, and my son is ashamed."

Xiang Qi's words surprised everyone present. Is this kind of behavior the same person as the rough-minded General Xiang who was restrained and disgusted when he saw his father?

Xiang Chaohai said with relief: "Get up, I must have suffered a lot these days, right?"

Xiang Qi said: "There are suffering and gains."

Xiang Chaohai nodded and said, "It's good if you have it. Go back."

Xiang Qi asked him to go aside and help his mother, and then the whole family went home.

The news that Xiang Qi returned to Chang'an soon spread throughout the city. After all, the battle between him and Chen Daolue was too famous, and later it was rumored to have died. Angry Xiang Chaohai, General Xiang almost brought the Xiang family army to Liang State.

Now that Xiang Qi has come back from the dead and returns to Chang'an, how can people not be surprised? He escaped from Chen Rentu's hands.

After Xiang Qi returned to the General's Mansion, Yang Qice and Yang Lingyao finally convinced their mother and rushed from the Prime Minister's Mansion. When the three of them met again, they inevitably had another burst of laughter and cry. When they talked about Jiang Zhong, Xiang Qi expressed his determination to go to Liang State to help Jiang Zhong. When Yang Qice saw that this sworn brother was mature, he was both happy and moved, so he told Xiang Qi about the conversation between Zhuge and Jiang Zhong that day. When Xiang Qi heard this, he was even more ambitious and immediately said: "Although I only have one arm left, I will do my best to assist my second brother."

Yang Qice said: "My second brother is in the world and has great plans. This matter must be done step by step. If I don't expect, next year's competition, once the second brother repeats his courage in the Holy Temple, he will completely disclose his identity as the Seventh Prince of Jiang Kingdom. Before that, Xiaoqi, you should pave the way for him in Chang'an with me."

Xiang Qi thought for a while and said, "Boss Yang, what do you mean is to tell the Prime Minister and his father."

Yang Qice said: "There are also everyone else."

"Master Fang?"

"Yes, these days, I have been interacting with Mr. Li Ruoyu, the closed disciple of Fang, and asked him about Wendao."

"It's still Boss Yang who thinks carefully."

"After the talk of Zhuge, the covenant was completed, and of course things had to be done step by step. Now that I know that Xiaoqi, you are back, I truly believe that God had arranged this sentence. I think the joke we told together when we were young is about to come true."

Xiang Qi's eyes shone brightly and he said, "When we were young, we kept persuading our second brother to fight for the throne, saying that we would assist him, but at that time we didn't even know what the throne was."

Yang Qice also laughed and said, "Now my second brother is not fighting for the throne, but to help the world."

The key head of the neck lift.

Just when Yang Xiang and the other two were discussing Jiang Zhong'an's world, Jiang Zhong actually discussed with Fan Baotong how to make the third floor of Guanguan Building not as much like a brothel. Jiang Zhong provided all the advanced experiences of his descendants, and some were too shocking and naturally abandoned. The essence left behind was enough to open Fan Baotong's eyes. At this time, the beauty pageant mentioned by Jiang Zhong was the experience of transforming from the talent show:

"The beauty pageant is not only Luzhou or Liangguo, but also the entire human race. Similarly, this beauty pageant is not just for the purpose of choosing the top names of the courtesans in Guanguanlou. More importantly, spread the name of "Guanguanlou".

Fan Baotong remembered it carefully.

Time flies, with rain falling in June and fire falling in July. In August, the beauty pageant in Guanguanlou came to an end. This time, the beauty pageant selected 17 young women with both talent and beauty from ten countries. Among them, Liu Rushi, Jiang Caiping, and Mo Luohong were the most amazing, and each was good at it. In addition to receiving generous material rewards from Fan's family, the three of them also received a poem privately given by Jiang Zhong.

After the massive beauty pageant of Guan Guanlou, it finally officially opened. On the first day of opening, it was naturally free for the whole audience. In addition to drinking and food, there were also "Peony Pavilion" performed by the twelve officials of Fan's house on stage and another "The Legend of Heroes and Jiang Gan's Strike" rehearsed by Jiang Zhongxin, which happened to be a woman's play and a man's play.

The opening of Guan Guanlou certainly gave countless men from the ten countries a room for imagination and secretly felt grateful to Jiang Zhong and Fan Baotong, but at the same time, it also encountered criticism from the scholars of the world.

Especially for Jiang Zhong.

As the recipient of the Holy Temple's letters, as a talented man with great eyes, as a rival to Chen Tong, as the princess of the demon clan, how can you open a brothel? Even if you are bold in writing, you should stick to the character of a literati, study the books of sages, and try every means to rebuild your literary courage, instead of falling into depravity and hang out with a group of actors and geisha.

Jiang Zhong's approach is a subversive impact on the aesthetics of the scholars all over the world.

In any case, on the eighth day of the eighth month of the Julian calendar, 5126, Jiang Zhong officially became the shopkeeper of Guanguanlou.
