Wei Zheng sat upright in the carriage, his face lit up by the bustling scene on the street outside, and he was filled with uncontrollable joy.
His wife Pei Lingxuan's hand beside him was always tightly holding Wei Zheng's arm, and the two figures were closely dependent on each other.
Pei Lingxuan was born into the Hedong Pei family. Although the Pei family was not considered the top prominent family in the Hedong area, it was well-known and was a small family in the area.
Your Majesty has previously vigorously rectified the aristocratic families. Except for a very small number of criminals who were severely punished according to law and sentenced to death, the Hedong Pei family as a whole did not suffer too serious damage.
Just following the will of His Majesty, the family was dispersed and its power gradually faded away.
Pei Lingxuan didn't care about this at all. Her closest relatives had passed away one after another, and the emotional bond between her and the Hedong Pei family had become extremely weak, almost like strangers.
Pei Lingxuan did not feel the slightest bit of turmoil in her heart regarding His Majesty's resolute move to eradicate the aristocratic families, nor did she have any objection.
In her simple and pure heart, she firmly holds the belief that "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog."
As long as it is something Wei Zheng wants to do, no matter whether the road ahead is full of thorns or a smooth one, she will follow him without hesitation and never leave him.
In her eyes, all other matters were like passing clouds and as light as a feather, not worth her trouble at all.
Wei Zheng was leisurely admiring the street view outside through the car window, his eyes full of comfort and satisfaction.
But inadvertently, his gaze suddenly froze and his eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.
He saw a familiar figure in the distance, which was deeply imprinted in his heart and made his heart tremble violently involuntarily.
"Stop the car! I want to get off!"
Wei Zheng shouted anxiously.
When Pei Lingxuan heard Wei Zheng's sudden words, her eyes were suddenly filled with confusion. She frowned slightly and asked softly, "What's wrong, husband?"
Wei Zheng quickly patted her hand gently to calm her down, and at the same time, his tone was filled with unconcealed excitement: "Madam, I saw someone I know, and I can't hold back my excitement. I can't wait to go down and meet him!"
Although Pei Lingxuan was filled with doubts and confusion, out of trust in her husband, she gently warned him, "It's crowded and noisy outside, my husband, please be careful!"
Wei Zheng looked solemn and nodded seriously to show that he understood.
The long convoy was moving slowly and orderly on the road. Once Wei Zheng's carriage stopped, it would inevitably cause obstacles to the team behind.
Therefore, Wei Zheng did not dare to delay for even a moment. As soon as the carriage stopped, he hurriedly walked down.
He walked with quick steps, his eyes filled with anxiety and expectation, and walked quickly towards the figure in his mind.
The people around saw that Wei Zheng was old, walked with a limp but looked hurried, and out of respect or pity they voluntarily gave way to him, their eyes full of concern.
Wei Zheng walked forward, nodding and thanking everyone who made way for him, muttering to himself, and only then did he squeeze out a passage through the crowd with great difficulty and slowly approach.
Not far ahead, a group of people were laughing and having a great time.
Every one of their backs and voices that reached Wei Zheng's ears and eyes made him feel extremely familiar and kind.
Especially the back view of the girl riding on her neck, which made his eyes fixed on her and he couldn't look away for a long time.
Wei Zheng did not make any noise to disturb them, but just followed the group silently, without making any sound.
Li Shimin held the lively and cute Li Jiming high up, and the little guy smiled brightly on his shoulder.
Li Mingda was like a well-behaved little lamb, quietly pulling at the corner of his clothes.
Everyone had smiles on their faces and followed him.
"Brothers! We have fought battles and conquered countless nations throughout our lives, and now, after enduring countless hardships, the world is at peace. It is time to enjoy the blessings of this peaceful and prosperous age."
Li Shimin's voice was filled with emotion after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.
"Tomorrow, I'll invite you to visit my nephew's place. I'm going to give you old folks a chance to broaden your horizons!"
When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he scratched his head in confusion.
He thought he had known Li Shimin for many years and knew him very well, but he had never heard that Li Shimin had a nephew in Xianyang.
If there really was such a close person here, given the deep friendship between them, why would Li Shimin keep it secret and never mention it?
Li Shimin glanced at Yuchi Jingde with a hint of pride and said excitedly, "Let me tell you, the treatment I receive from my nephew is beyond your imagination."
"The calligraphy and paintings my nephew gifted me are all rare treasures in the world. He gave me several boxes full of them. The value of those calligraphy and paintings is absolutely beyond measure by gold, silver and treasures."
"It's all his intention!"
"Not only that, he also gave me a suite. Do you know what a suite is?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.
When Li Jing heard about the two boxes of precious calligraphy and paintings, he was so shocked that his eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and his face was full of disbelief.
Li Shimin continued excitedly, "In that suite, all the wood used is the extremely precious golden nanmu. It is so luxurious that even gold can only be used as a common material to pad the table legs."
"And there's all that good wine, a whole cabinet full of it, so much so that I can't even count it."
"Compared to the wine in my suite, the Xiaobaigan we usually drink is just a cheap, village brew. It's not even worth mentioning!"
When everyone heard about such delicious wine, their eyes lit up.
Xiaobai Gan has already ranked first in their minds!
There is still good wine now?
