Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 3499 Mr. Fanwaizhuang 15

   So the next day, the banker's family left the city in the presence of relatives, friends and neighbors.

   Except for Zhuang Dalang, no one thinks that they will come back, didn't you see, the luggage has been collected for three cars, it is obvious that they have moved their family to the capital.

   went out of the city, waited for the caravan outside the city to catch up, and followed behind the dealer's luggage cart.

  Zhuang Dalang opened the curtain and glanced out, and asked Shishulang, "Are these medicinal herbs?"

   "Not all, half, half, and half of this summer's tea leaves. Some tea gardens cannot be sold. After picking, they are made into tea bricks for collection. Anyway, I have a car, and I will take it away."

  Zhuang Dalang said: "In the past few years, Luojiang County has made a lot of money because of the cultivation of medicinal materials and tea."

It is also because of the sales market that Thursday Lang not only did this business by himself, but also brought several merchants here. At the same time, he also encouraged the people in the county to transport things out by himself. Now the water and land routes are easier to travel than before. It’s not much, even if you go out with a burden, the safety is greatly improved. Although it’s a little hard work, you can make a lot of money by going back and forth. After a few more years, the money for a kid in the family to marry a daughter-in-law is enough.

   This is something that ordinary people in Luojiang County never dared to think about before.

But because of the high yield of grain now, and the court intends to redeem the land, they can have surplus grain even if they cultivate less fields. With more and more cattle, the labor consumed in the field will be burned, and the surplus can be used to plant medicinal materials. , tea, and even go to business. . .

  Zhuang Dalang is the big accountant of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family is not only a big family in Luojiang County, but has always been the head of Luojiang County, so he knows how fast the economy of Luojiang County has developed over the years.

   And the source of all this is the Zhou family, and the Zhou family has such a relationship with his father. Every time Zhuang Dalang thinks of it, he is also proud.

  Zhuang Dalang is not the first time to come to the capital, but the last time, he was young, and the capital at that time had only experienced war.

   The car had not yet entered the city, but he felt different when he was queuing outside the city to enter the city, and the gray capital in his memory suddenly became colorful.

   After entering the city, the dark and gray capital in my mind slowly collapsed and disappeared, replaced by the colorful and lively streets of the capital.

  Zhuang Dalang stared blankly at the lively street.

  Thursday Lang happily squeezed to the door and watched the outside world with him, "How is it, I said the capital is fine, right?"

  Zhuang Dalang did not speak.

  Thursday Lang patted him on the shoulder and said, "The capital is no longer the capital of the past, and the gentleman is not the gentleman of the past. Naturally, you are not the former Zhuang Dalang."

  Zhuang Dalang suddenly had sour eyes and sour nose. He turned his head slightly to face Shishulang, not letting him see the tears in his eyes.

  Yes, the capital is different.

  Thursday Lang was afraid that Zhuang Dalang would be uncomfortable, so he took the Zhuang family directly to the county master's mansion.

  Mr. Zhuang and the others went to the yamen today, and he didn't tell them in advance, so only Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng were at home.

   Seeing that Chuulang really picked up Zhuang Dalang's family, they were pleasantly surprised and hurriedly settled people into the yard next to Mr. Zhuang.

   "It's all cleaned up, you settle down first, I'll send someone to the palace to invite Mr. Zhuang back."

  Zhuang Dalang hurriedly said: "Don't be busy, it's not good to delay father's errands."

   "What kind of delay is this, it's normal for a father to ask for a half-day leave when his son arrives."

  Zhuang Dalang's face was slightly red.

   Zhou Man and Bai Shan don't know if they can invite Zhuang Dalang, so the matter of letting Shizulang return to his hometown to pick up people is hidden from Mr. Zhuang

  The servants of the Bai family were waiting outside the palace gate and asked the guards to ask the servants in the palace to help spread the word.

  The bodyguards and the servants have a good relationship with Zhou Man, and they readily accepted the money.

   Isn't it just to pass a sentence "Mr. Zhuang's family", simple!

   So when we had lunch at noon, a maid walked up to Mr. Zhuang and whispered, "Mr. Zhuang, someone from your family has come to report that someone has come from your family."

  Mr. Zhuang's first reaction was not to believe it. His intuition was that someone wanted to transfer him to leave the palace. He looked up at the little maid, recognized that he was from the East Palace, and asked, "Who is here to spread the word?"

   "It's a man named Liu Gui."

The    pretended to be quite similar. Mr. Zhuang nodded, indicating that he understood, but he refused to leave immediately. He decided to stay in the palace a little later today to see what they wanted to do in private.

   As a result, before he finished his meal, Zhou Man came over excitedly, "Sir, I'm here to pick you up, have you asked for a good leave?"

   Mr. Zhuang was startled, "What am I doing on leave?"

   "Go home," Zhou Man tilted his head suspiciously, "Didn't Liu Gui ask someone to send you a message, has Senior Brother come to the capital? I met Liu Gui in the imperial city when I first returned to the palace..."

  Mr. Zhuang:  …

  He looked up at her woodenly, "Which brother are you? Bai Zhi?"

   He can also be regarded as the senior brother of Zhou Manchu, and he used to call him that.

   Zhou Man: "...Of course it's Senior Brother Zhuang."

  Mr. Zhuang's eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't believe it until he got into the carriage. After leaving the imperial city, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it true? Your senior brother really came to the capital?"

"Yeah, what did I lie to you for?" Zhou Man gave her fourth brother, and by the way, also showed his merit to himself, "I asked the fourth brother to go back to pick up people, so I just said, there is no such thing in this world that my fourth brother can't pick up people. come."

   Mr. Zhuang was excited, his eyes were slightly wet, his fists were tight and loose, loose and tight.

   When he returned to the county master's mansion and saw Zhuang Dalang standing in the courtyard, he was convinced that his son really came to the capital.

  Mr. Zhuang couldn't help smiling, the wrinkles around his eyes were clinging to each other and would not loosen.

  Zhuang Dalang saw his father, and saw that he was in good spirits. The white hair on his head even showed signs of turning black. Compared with the previous years, he was not old.

  Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly wet, and he reached out to support him, "Okay, is the journey hard?"

  Zhuang Dalang replied politely: "Not unfamiliar."

   "That's good, that's good," Mr. Zhuang thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you had lunch, and are you still used to eating here?"

   "I'm used to it, Mrs. Liu prepared the taste of Luojiang County, and it tastes good."

Zhou Man stood by and listened to their father and son talking, and couldn't help but get anxious, "Brother, sir, I miss you, I've been talking about it a lot in recent years, I don't know when you can come to Beijing to see, so when we moved here, we deliberately put The two courtyards next to the husband's house are vacant, but I didn't expect that the courtyard would finally be filled with people today."

  Zhuang Dalang also wants to be more natural with Zhou Man, he smiled and said: "There is a sister Lao."

  Zhuang Dalang only intends to stay for more than a month. After seeing his father, he will go home, but Mrs. Zhuang does not think so. However, she has just arrived, and even if she wants to stay, she has no courage to tell her husband at this time.
