The county magistrate changed his career to selling private vegetables and sold them out

On the day Cheng Taishi arrived in Shangjing, the emperor personally led the civil officials to greet him at the gate of the city.

What an honor!
Cheng Taishi, who had gray temples, was dismounted from the carriage by Jiao's mother, and walked forward tremblingly. He was about to kneel and prostrate in panic, but was supported by the current son, Emperor Wenqing.

"The grand master is free of courtesy! I have been looking forward to the grand master's return for 20 years, and today I finally got my wish! You are my teacher, and you don't need to bow down when you see me in the future."

After finishing the words, he raised his hands to the crowd kneeling behind Grand Master Cheng, as a gesture of excuse.

Taishi Cheng's eyes were slightly red, he hurriedly led Jiao's mother and a few young Xie En.

Then a group of civil servants stepped forward to greet Grand Master Cheng, each one more excited than the other, so lively!

There is no way, Cheng Taishi's reputation among civil servants is too high, even if he has been out of power for 20 years, but once he comes back, he will still be the most shining superstar in the literary world.

Emperor Wen Qing stared at the woman behind Grand Master Cheng and the boy beside her, and asked in surprise, "Are you...Cheng Mei?"

Mother Jiao went forward to salute, and said with a smile, "Return to Your Majesty, the woman is Cheng Mei. This is the youngest son of the woman. His surname is Jiao, and his nickname is Sanlang."

Saburo took a step forward, respectfully saluted as a disciple.

Emperor Wen Qing was very happy, he laughed and said: "I heard Fu Aiqing mention that your son is amazing, he has already got the true biography of the grand master, and I will choose a day to test this little junior brother!"

Jiao's mother smiled subtly and said nothing, while Cheng Taishi stroked his beard and smiled very contentedly.

San Lang stood there gracefully and let others look at him, but a thin layer of sweat had already leaked from the palms of his hands hidden in his sleeves.

The little ones behind were even more nervous and didn't dare to breathe.

Who would have thought that two years ago, they were just a group of little beggars on the street, but now they are standing in the most prosperous place in the imperial city of Shangjing. High fragrance!
Cheng Taishi took advantage of Emperor Wenqing's surprise and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am truly ashamed of the kindness of the late Emperor and Your Majesty for ignoring worldly affairs for twenty years! This old minister is too old to be able to take on the position of Grand Master." , now I just want to teach Saburo to be a good man, and please take it back!"

The corners of Emperor Wen Qing's mouth twitched, and he cast a glance at Sanlang, "The grand master has been exhausted all the way, and Mrs. Jiao will go back to the mansion to rest first, and then enter the palace tomorrow. I still have a lot to say to the grand master!"

Saburo had no choice but to help his grandfather up.

Emperor Wen Qing said a few words of consolation, lifted his robe and hurriedly got into the car, signaling to leave quickly.

The civil servants were still surrounding Grand Master Cheng reluctantly, and all kinds of similes hinted that they wanted to visit, and some directly took out greeting cards.

Taishi Cheng chatted with them tirelessly for a while, but still felt a little powerless.

Forget it, let's go straight to the trump card!
"Sanlang, take out the painting in the wooden box in the carriage!"

"Yes... huh?" Sanlang looked over suspiciously, but he couldn't get a response from his grandfather.

That is a painting he made, what do you do with it?
"Come, come, my lords, this is just a little bit of kindness from this old man, it is not a respect! I will invite you all to my house to have a talk when I have time, and I will be excused today! Sanlang, let's go, get in the car!"

A group of top civil servants from Qingguo Wenhua Pavilion were scrambling to snatch Saburo's paintings in public on the street, and all of them were trampled underfoot.

When they came back to their senses, Grand Master had disappeared.

After the carriage turned a corner, Sanlang couldn't hold back any longer, and quietly asked, "Grandfather, why did you give them my paintings? If they find out, my grandson will be fine. Do you want to save your face?"

Grand Master Cheng laughed loudly: "Grandfather is sure, they will never find out for a while! Besides, why did grandfather say that it was my painting? There is no name on the painting, hahaha!"

Saburo's expression was a bit indescribable, "You asked me to hide my name in the painting, and you said that my paintings will be signed like this in the future!"

Cheng Taishi burst into tears and laughed, "When they find out the tricks in the painting, your painting will be hard to find!"

Genius boy, fame is just around the corner!
Mother Jiao patted Saburo's hand tenderly, and said with a smile: "Believe in your grandfather, he left you with time to grow up, don't let him down!"

Saburo clenched his fists and nodded silently.

At the gate of Cheng's mansion, Fu Ting and a few attendants greeted him at the gate, and Cheng Mu stood behind him.

After the carriage stopped, Fu Ting stepped forward to help Taishi Cheng and Mother Jiao down.

Grand Master Cheng looked up at the brand-new lintel above his head, took two steps forward, and bowed to his elder brother Cheng Mu.

"Brother, I'm back."

"Second brother, it's good to come back."

The brothers reunited after a long absence, and they had nothing to say. After a few words of pleasantries, Cheng Mu said, "Your sister-in-law is unwell and cannot come out to greet you. Please bear with me."

Grand Master Cheng said with a smile: "Don't dare to disturb my sister-in-law!"

Words have revealed too much.

Mother Jiao brought Sanlang to greet Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu helped Jiao's mother up, and said with a complicated expression: "Mei'er, I have suffered you all these years, uncle is sorry for you!"

Mother Jiao shook her head with a smile, but said nothing.

The grievances and grievances of the past cannot be revealed in a few words, she will keep it and settle it slowly.

Cheng Mu took a step back sideways, and said, "The yard has been cleaned up, and the rooms are all ready, let's go in and rest first!"

Fu Ting leaned forward very shamelessly and said, "Teacher, Your Majesty has newly granted the Grand Master's Mansion, which is not far in front. Everything in the mansion has been prepared and it is quiet!"

Fu Ting bit the last three words very hard.

Cheng Mu's face darkened, and he forced a smile and said: "There are no extra people in the family, and no one will bother you, you can move there after staying for a few days!"

Grand Master Cheng nodded and said: "I haven't returned home for a long time, I always want to burn incense sticks and kowtow to my ancestors! Meier, let's go in!"

A group of people entered the west courtyard of Cheng Mansion and settled down quickly.

The housekeeper and servants of Cheng's mansion put their minds to it, and arranged the entire west courtyard in an orderly manner, with nothing inappropriate.

The dinner party to cleanse the wind and dust was also prepared in the west courtyard, Cheng Mu and Mrs. Cheng both came.

Mrs. Cheng's complexion is not very good, but her words are thoughtful in every way.First, I apologize for not being able to greet the second brother's family in person. As the eldest sister-in-law, I am very ashamed; then I express my condolences. Fan, the family is finally reunited, and the days to come will get better and better.

Grand Master Cheng didn't say anything, but Mother Jiao exchanged compliments with Mrs. Cheng: "Thanks to my aunt, my father and I are able to have today! Meier will remember the kindness that my aunt has towards Meier. In the days to come, Meier will definitely, will definitely repay my aunt well!"

Mrs. Cheng's complexion froze, and she almost failed.
