Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 541 The Old Servant in the Capital Warms Hearts

They spend most of their time in Qingyun City and have long been accustomed to life there.

I'll just deliver water to them from time to time; let them live like city people!

Besides, with Jiu Mengzi and Bai Qianchi there, and also Shiwu and Shiliu, safety is absolutely not a problem!

There are already enough women in Mashan Village. If two more are added, Chu Dazhuang will probably start cursing at himself.

My nephew's wife has a whole bunch of babies, but none of them are pregnant!

Chu Dazhuang's cane is no joke.

After living together harmoniously in Mashan Village for a few days, a message suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.

Zhou Heng is getting married in five days and has invited Chu Chen and his family to attend the wedding!

After receiving the message, Chu Chen took Li Qinglian and drove the red SUV towards the capital.

Behind the SUV, there were many glass ornaments, drinks, bedding, and the like.

According to Chu Chen, gifts are fine, but as for cash, we'll see!

Chu Chen attended the wedding as Zhou Heng's sworn brother, and Zhou Shixun probably wanted the civil and military officials to see him.

Zhou Heng's sworn brother, Chu Chen, was someone who could single-handedly storm the imperial palace.

Moreover, he made outstanding contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty.

The mere act of presenting gunpowder to the imperial court is enough to be recorded in history.

But even such a powerful figure traveled a great distance to attend Zhou Heng's wedding.

This is enough to prove how powerful the Zhou family is!

Chu Chen had no idea that Zhou Shixun invited him to the wedding just to show off.

He was simply going to deliver a gift.

"My lord, it has been a long time since we last traveled together!"

Hearing Li Qinglian's words, Chu Chen finally realized that it had been more than ten years since he and she had gone out together.

So he quickly reached out and touched her head, saying, "Yes, it's been over ten years since we last traveled together!"

"Over the years, I've been wandering around, and I owe you a lot!"

Chu Chen turned his head and looked at Li Qinglian with some affection, then said slowly.

I still remember the girl who thought I had come back to life and ran out screaming when I first transmigrated here.

Now, she's almost thirty!

Fortunately, I provided her with a comfortable life. Although I spent less time with her, how could I see the world clearly if I were always clinging to her?

Li Qinglian grabbed Chu Chen's hand and said, "Husband, what are you saying? If it weren't for you, I don't know which brothel I would have been sold to right now!"

"When my father sold me to you for two taels of silver, it was probably the best decision he ever made in his life."

Chu Chen's mouth twisted in disbelief after hearing this, thinking to himself, "If it weren't for your father selling you to me..."

Your dad's probably still holed up there drinking heavily.

So he quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, have you kept in touch with my brother all these years?"

"No, it's like it vanished!"

"My lord, I know you left him a few glass bottles back then. Perhaps he's doing well now!"

She knew? She actually knew?

That's interesting. So, she probably already knows that he's using cephalosporins!

Seeing Chu Chen's surprised expression, she said, "Husband, let's not talk about the past. Aren't we doing well now?"

"My mother and I are both women who have suffered a lot, but meeting you has made our lives worthwhile!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening. Li Qinglian was a smart woman; some things, once said aloud, had a different meaning.

"Alright, I'm going to drive now, Qinglian, hold on tight!"

After saying that, Chu Chen pulled his hand away from Li Qinglian's grasp, and then sped off on the official road.

"Yes, my husband, focus on driving. If you get tired, Qinglian will take over!"

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this, took out a cigarette, lit it, and opened the car window to let the wind blow in.

Li Qinglian stared blankly at Chu Chen's profile, her face filled with happiness.

The car sped along, and in Andu City, the two found an inn and stayed there for the night.

The next day, Li Qinglian drove them towards the capital.

Chu Chen sat in the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside the window. After ten years, this was his first time entering the capital.

I wonder what the situation is like in the capital.

Old Qin and those two girls, Xia Mu and Dong Xue, should be grown into young women by now.

Could it be that Lao Qin has already died of old age?

Although I feel like I haven't been away from them for long, in their eyes it has been ten years.

Old Qin was already in his forties then, and now he's over fifty.

In this era where people are generally young, many are buried in the earth in their fifties.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen became somewhat anxious.

Old Qin is a good person. There's still so much time left. Although the Chu family gang's young men in the capital will take care of their living problems.

But if the person is gone, wouldn't I have missed seeing Lao Qin one last time?

Chu Chen closed the window, and the wind outside rushed in, making him suddenly feel inexplicably irritable.

"What's wrong, my husband?"

"It's nothing. It's just that old Qin from Beijing. I've told you about him before. I wonder how he is doing!"

"After all, I haven't been to Beijing for ten years!"

After listening to Chu Chen's words of comfort, Li Qinglian increased the car's speed.

"Don't overthink it, husband. Those who stay by your side will all become rich and powerful. Look at Wang Defa, look at the people in Mashan Village. Your second uncle is almost sixty, and he's doing just fine!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening without saying anything.

As night fell, the car arrived at the city gate as promised!

Chu Chen was surprised to find that the people at the city gate no longer recognized him. Perhaps the soldiers who had been guarding the city had all retired and returned to their fields.

This trip has truly shown me how things have changed!

With the token in Chu Chen's hand as a blessing, the car successfully entered the capital city.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Chen instructed Li Qinglian to park the car steadily in front of the house.

As soon as Chu Chen got out of the car, he saw an elderly man with gray hair accompanied by two women, who were looking at him with tears in their eyes.

Suddenly, the old man and the two women knelt down in front of Chu Chen.

"This old servant greets the young master!"

"Young master, you've finally arrived! This old servant has been waiting for you for ten years!"

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stepped forward to help Lao Qin and the two women up.

"Get up, get up! Ten years! You have been able to faithfully guard this house. You have worked hard!"

"Young master, you are too kind. As long as this old servant lives, I will guard this house for you forever."

"This must be the mistress, please come in! Maid, quickly make the young master's bed and cook!"

After getting up, Lao Qin grabbed Chu Chen's hand and excitedly led him into the house.

Xia Mu and Dong Xue also had tears in their eyes: "Uncle Qin, is the young master's room cleaned every day? Please have a seat, young master and mistress, we'll go cook right away!"
