Chapter 437

After leaving this gazebo, Du Bailiang went to Anhong County again. The place where he was assigned, the place is no longer what it used to be. Without the flood, it has directly changed from an ominous place that everyone despises to a hot spot. The reason for this is naturally related to Dingbeihou Pingnanhou and him. They all went out from here in the first place.

The rebuilt street is a foot wider than before, and no matter how big a horse-drawn cart or a donkey cart can pass, many merchants in the county sell twisted dates, probably following the example of the Tang family, not to mention that the taste is getting more and more similar.

Du Bailiang bought some and ate them while walking, while Mr. Chen beside him advised silently: "Master Guo, pay attention to your image!"

Du Bailiang waved his hand, "It's okay, no one recognizes me anyway!"

As soon as the words fell, a slow, low and hoarse voice sounded behind the two, "Master?"

Du Bailiang turned his head in shock, only to see an old man over a year old standing hunched and leaning on a cane behind him, with two servants supporting him.

Du Bailiang stared at it for a long time before he widened his eyes and said, "Old Guo!"

The old man suddenly laughed, "The Duke has a good memory, and he still remembers to be an official."

Master Chen also rushed forward to say hello: "Guo Lichang, long time no see! You are still so healthy and healthy."

Lao Guo laughed, showing his few remaining teeth, shaking his head and waving his hands: "I am no longer the head of the village, Master Chen just call me Lao Guo."

Lao Guo pointed to the teahouse behind him and asked, "Go in and sit down?"

Du Bailiang stepped in directly.

The interior decoration of the tea house is good, full of Jiangnan style, elegant and quiet, completely different from the hustle and bustle outside.

A group of people went up to the second floor, Lao Guo explained: "This teahouse is now under the name of the old man, and it will be transferred to my little grandson in a while!"

Master Chen asked curiously: "Who is the head of the village now?"

Lao Guo smiled and said: "My eldest grandson, Prime Minister Liu stayed in Anhong County for a period of time after the Duke of the State left. During this period, many things happened. Most of the people left. If you die here, you will die here. Fortunately, those nobles looked down on me as the chief of the village and did not do anything to me. Because I have been in the village for many years and are familiar with everything here, they let our family stay and give them saddles and horses. run errands.

Later, when the emperor became successful, I resigned voluntarily, but the county magistrate knew about my past and did not agree. Instead, he let my son continue to serve as the head of the village. However, my eldest son is not in good health and is young. It's gone, and now my eldest grandson takes over the post of head of the village.

I also have a son, and the position of village chief was given to the first room, and the second room naturally shared more money, so I took advantage of the large-scale construction projects in the south of the Yangtze River, and I also spent all my money to buy a lot of properties. This teahouse was opened ten years ago, and now it is in Anhong County has also gained some reputation. "

Master Chen praised: "Not bad, not bad, you are right to do this."

When they were about to leave, Du Bailiang once let Guo Lichang get the limelight, so he quickly retreated, and they could go to Lingnan to join him, but they couldn't find Guo Lichang's person, they only waited for a cryptic letter, and then they corresponded again For a few years, it wasn't until Ning Chengyun was about to send troops that the contact was broken.

They are also very pleased to see that Guo Li is living a stable and prosperous life.

When Du Bailiang and Mr. Chen left Anhong County, they couldn't hold back Lao Guo's enthusiasm, so they took a lot of precious tea with them.

The ship continued to go north, and it was not until Du Bailiang in Shangzhou that he disembarked again, changed into a carriage and arrived in Xijing.

The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was neither to enter the palace nor to go home, but to take a detour to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, leaving Tangning's two nephews behind and leaving behind a lot of expensive tea and souvenirs bought along the way. Only then left gracefully.

Tangning ran out to pick up her nephew and asked, "Where's Duke Ding?"

Tang Chenxi replied: "Auntie, Duke Ding has already gone back. He brought these to you. Also, he asked his nephew to tell you that grandfather doesn't want to leave Lingnan. If you miss him, you can go back. Also, the mountain where Urumata was buried has collapsed, Guo Lichang's tea is good, let you cherish it."

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment before realizing that Du Bailiang was so awkward, she said to the two nephews, "Let's go, you guys come to Xijing once in a while, and you will live in the Dingbei Hou's Mansion, although Kaiyuanbo's Mansion is also It's big, but it's very deserted and not at all popular. It just so happens that my aunt is going to show Zimozi a girl recently, and she has to find a husband's house for Zixi. I'll take care of your affairs as well. Let me give it to your grandfather. Grandmother, father and mother wrote to say, they should not object."

Tangning babbled on and on, both of them were dumbfounded. When Tang Chenxi saw the triplets, she asked solemnly, "Cousin, cousin, is aunt so scary?"

"What?" The triplets raised their eyebrows in unison.

Tang Chenwang explained: "It's just to find a wife and husband for you! We just walked in, and even without taking a sip of water, my aunt is going to think about lifelong affairs for us!"

"Uncle and aunt didn't take care of my eldest cousin?" Qiu Zimo asked suspiciously.

Tang Chenxi is the eldest son of the third house of the Tang family and the heir to the Earl of Kaiyuan. She is eighteen or nineteen years old, and she is not married yet!Simply incredible!

Tang Chenxi didn't take it seriously, "All these years my grandfather was busy building ships, my grandmother was busy doing business, my father was busy brewing wine, and my mother was busy learning medical skills and pharmacology. They are almost obsessed. I don’t know how old I am now, but this time when our brothers are traveling far away, grandpa only asked us to study hard, pass the imperial examination, honor our ancestors, and never mention anything about getting married.”

The triplets were dumbfounded.

Qiu Ziyang enviously said: "It's better to be at my grandfather's house, I just hope it's like this, there's no one who can be carefree and comfortable in getting married!"

"Qiu Ziyang! Say it again!" Tangning's Hedong lion's roar was heard, and Qiu Ziyang was so frightened that he ran away immediately.

The others also turned their heads with concern. Seeing Tangning's serious face, they didn't dare to say anything.

Tang Ning walked up to the Tang family brothers and said lovingly, "Since your parents are so careless, then auntie will take care of you. Don't worry, I will write to Lingnan some other day to see what your parents and grandparents are doing." What do you mean?"

The two brothers really wanted to say no, but because of the majesty of the aunt, they dared not fart.

At this time, Du Bailiang's carriage also arrived at the gate of the palace. After reporting, he finally entered the imperial study room, and then he greeted the emperor and began to act like a demon, "Your majesty, I feel that I am old, and I can take care of myself when I come back this time." ?"

Ning Chengyun was overjoyed, "I think Ding Guogong is old and strong, how does it feel to travel all the way?"
