Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 18 Dad Finds You a Match

The imperial court shook, and the city of Chang'an shook.

The people were overjoyed and shouted long live the emperor.

Du Ruhui has also returned to Cai Guogong's mansion.

He is calling the servants of the mansion to move the mattress back.

There was a lot of commotion, and Du Ruhui had been away from home for a while, which quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.

"Sir, what did you bring back?"

Mrs. Du asked curiously.

She is more than 30 years old, but because she is well maintained, she only looks 27 or [-], with a tender and charming charm.

"Mattress, even if you say you don't understand."

Du Ruhui waved his hands and said.

In addition to mattresses, he also bought a lot of things and brought some gifts for his wife and children.

"Oh fine."

Madam Du didn't ask any more questions, and helped direct the servants to move things.

"Where's Miao Yan?"

Du Ruhui sat on the main seat in the hall and looked around.

Du He, Du Miaoyun, and Du Gou's three children were all there, but Du Miaoyan was missing.

"Father, sister is reading in the study."

Duho responded.

"I only know how to read every day, and I don't learn how to be a female celebrity. How will I get married in the future?"

Du Ruhui said helplessly.

"Father, during your absence in Chang'an City, [-] families sent their son's birthday horoscope to eldest sister."

Du Miaoyun stuck out her cute little tongue and whispered.

The eldest sister is the girl who is the least worried about marrying in Chang'an City, even if she doesn't know how to become a female celebrity.

Because the eldest sister is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City, and she is a master of both books and swords, and is famous among the younger generation in Chang'an City.

Don't talk about ordinary people, even the relatives of the emperor are trying to ask for a kiss.

"Then does your sister have a fancy?"

Du Ruhui suddenly became interested and asked.

"The girl took one look and was pushed back."

Mrs. Du came over and interjected.

The husband and wife were very worried about the eldest daughter's marriage.

"Girl, see if I don't speak well of her."

Du Ruhui couldn't sit still.

Get up and walk towards the study.

The eldest daughter is already, very old.

The wife married herself when she was 15 years old and gave birth to her the following year.

Repeatedly returning those who proposed marriages again and again, no one in Chang'an City would dare to propose marriages to the Du family in the future.

The study room, the door is not closed.

When Du Ruhui walked in, he saw his daughter reading a book.

"Father, you're back?!"

Du Miaoyan put down the book, got up and smiled.

"A heartless girl, I don't know how to welcome my father when he comes back."

Du Ru gave her daughter a dark look and complained.

"Father, don't blame me, it's because the servants didn't inform me."

"Come on, daddy, sit down, and my daughter will rub your back for you."

Du Miaoyan smiled sweetly and walked towards Du Ruhui.

Pull him back to where he was sitting just now, stand behind him and beat Du Ruhui's back.

"You girl."

Du Ruhui sat down and sighed.

Looking at the medical book on the desk that has just been flipped through, I feel warm in my heart.

The eldest daughter is good at everything, and knows how to feel sorry for her old father, but she is still not married at this age.

In her words, no one is worthy of her, she doesn't want to have children for anyone, and she doesn't want to be a husband and parent for someone.

"Father, it seems that your complexion has improved a lot. What happened during this trip to the south?"

Du Miaoyan asked slightly surprised.

The father's health is very poor, and his bones are beyond ordinary people's old age.

But when I met him just now, and when I was beating his back now, there was a slight difference.

"Something happened that greatly changed my father's perception"

Du Ruhui sighed.

Tell Du Miaoyan what he saw and heard in Wuling County.

In particular tea, mattresses, cement, and saltpeter are described for making ice.

"There is such a god in the world?!"

Du Miaoyan was shocked.

She knew about tea, but she didn't expect it to have such an effect after changing the process.

She can also understand saltpeter making ice, and can't help but sigh that there are no wonders in the world.

But she couldn't understand the mattresses and cement roads, and she didn't record them in the thousands of books she had read.

Suddenly, Du Miaoyan became curious about Fang Yuan who made all this.

"Before I met him, Dad didn't believe that there would be such a god-man in the world."

"But after seeing him, Dad realized that there is a sky beyond the sky, there are people beyond people, and there are all kinds of wonders in the world."

"Father thinks he is a good person and has a bright future. How about you get to know him?"

After listening to his daughter's evaluation, Du Ruhui suddenly had a thought in his mind.

Since he decided to train Fang Yuan, why not train a son-in-law by the way?
Although my daughter has high eyesight and looks down on the handsome talents of Chang'an City, Fang Yuan is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Father, don't be joking."

"My daughter doesn't want to marry, or become someone else's wife, but just wants to be a filial piety at her father's knee."

Du Miaoyan smiled, shook her head and said.

Although there are many strange people in the world, they may not be able to make my heart beat.

Moreover, her father's health is not good, and she might leave when she leaves. She doesn't want to marry.

"You girl, father doesn't need you to be filial!"

Du Ruhui was moved but speechless.

Having children and taking care of the elderly, there are two males in the family who can fulfill their filial piety.

When my daughter is old, she still hopes to marry a good family and live happily ever after.

Du Miaoyan didn't speak, just beat Du Ruhui's back hard enough.

"When you are alive, how can you say that you don't get married?"

"Father feels more and more that his health is not good, and he may have a few years to live."

"If dad leaves someday, with our Du family's situation, you won't be so free and willful."

Du Ruhui sighed.

His body he knows the situation.

The imperial physician also checked, so he had to rest and recuperate.

But when the new emperor came to the throne, there were so many affairs in the court, how could he rest?
"father!"

Du Miaoyan became a little sad.

She is very open about other aspects, even if she does not marry for life.

But in the face of her father's situation, she really thought about it, hoping to live a long life.

"Go, get to know each other, maybe he will be your wishful husband."

Du Ruhui persuaded.

I hope to see my daughter get married in my lifetime.

Even if the object is not Fang Yuan, I still hope that my daughter can have a good belonging.

After all, if I left, the Du family would not have the current status, and my daughter's courtship would drop by several levels.

"Well, I know Dad."

Du Miaoyan pondered for a long time before nodding.

Yes, we should get to know each other. How does Pu’er tea work?

Maybe I can find a cure for my father's body from the tea and improve my father's physique.

"As long as you know."

"But don't be in a hurry to start now."

"He will be promoted to governor in a few days, you can go after the transfer."

Du Ruhui couldn't see Du Miaoyan's expression, thinking that her daughter finally listened to him and was ready to find someone.

"You were promoted to governor in your early twenties?"

Du Miaoyan said in surprise.

Even with a monstrous background, the promotion is too fast, right?
"You have never seen the road in Wuling County."

"Flat and solid, without any ups and downs, it is more spacious and flat than Suzaku Avenue."

"If this kind of road is applied to all parts of Datang, the development of Datang will benefit infinitely, and supplies can be provided quickly even in times of war."

Du Ruhui sighed.

What worries him most in Wuling County is the research of the Nine-story Mohist Research Institute, and what makes him want to popularize it all over the country is the cement road.

Fang Yuan refused to tell himself the cement formula, which gave Fang Yuan more power, and he could also promote the cement road to the states and counties he governed.

"Daddy is wise."

Du Miaoyan smiled and said.

She couldn't imagine how good the road was that Daddy praised him so much.

But he was even more curious about Fang Yuan in his heart, wanting to meet and get to know each other.
