Chapter 321 Back to the village
Royal study room.
Emperor Yuanwu was a little surprised when he heard Xiong Jingzhong's report.
"So the reason why the teacher has never married is because he already has someone in his heart that he can't let go? I really thought he wanted to become a monk! This is also fate!" Emperor Yuanwu sighed: "At his age, the teacher can still have a son-in-law and grandson. It's a good thing. I am happy for him."
Xiong Jingzhong also laughed and said, "People outside say that the descendants of the Pingshan Palace and the Huguo Palace are dwindling, and they will decline in a few years. But now that these two families are involved with the Su family, I don't know what those people outside will say."
Emperor Yuanwu sneered, "What can I say? Jealousy! The descendants of the Imperial Master have such a noble status. They... now that they have acknowledged each other as relatives, does Prince Pingshan still want to leave the capital?"
Xiong Jingzhong said: "In reply to the emperor, the prince is still going to leave the capital. Not only that, he will take the imperial tutor with him."
Emperor Yuanwu frowned: "Teacher finally found the person he was looking for, so of course he has to go with him."
......
At night, Ye Tang was barbecuing in the small garden. The aroma of the barbecue drifted from far away, and Dugu Wushuang came over to taste the aroma.
"Why do you want to have barbecue tonight? I want to eat too."
Ye Tang said while grilling meat: "I am greedy. I can't sleep unless I am full."
Dugu Wushuang glanced at her belly and said, "In your current condition, you really need to eat better, but barbecue is not healthy. I will help you eat more."
When the two were enjoying their meal, Jamel Xiao brought some juice over and handed it to Ye Tang: “This is your favorite strawberry watermelon juice.”
Ye Tang happily took it and drank it.
Dugu Wushuang also poured himself a cup: "I know you are leaving Beijing tomorrow, going to Tianan Prefecture, right? I want to go too."
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Jingxuan said dissatisfiedly.
Dugu Wushuang finished drinking the juice and said, "My intuition tells me that I will definitely find Hong Longfei if I follow you."
Ye Tang smiled and said, "If you can't find it, we won't take you with us."
"If you don't take me with you, I will follow you secretly..." Dugu Wushuang fainted before he could finish his words.
Ye Tang took a bite of the fragrant roasted chicken leg and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Dugu, if it weren't for Elder Hong's peers, we wouldn't have taken you there."
She ordered people to carry Dugu Wushuang away.
Then he looked at Xiao Jamel Xiao and smiled, and the couple smiled in an extremely cunning manner.
"How long will your medicine keep her asleep?"
"Ten days or half a month won't be a problem. By the time she wakes up, we'll have gone far away."
"Will you starve to death if you sleep for so long?"
"You won't starve to death, don't worry!"
It was a hot day with scorching sun. Ye Tang, Xiao Jingxuan, and a hundred guards, Xiao Wenye, and Su Yinghuai left Beijing for Tian'an Prefecture.
In order to take care of Ye Tang, five maids including Tan Yun, Cui Ying, Xue Ya, and Lu Taohua sisters also followed him to Qingquan Village.
Because they were not in a hurry, they went to Tian'an Prefecture to enjoy the scenery. If they encountered unfair things on the way, they would solve them.
When we arrived in Tianan Prefecture, it was already autumn, the time when crops were in season.
Ye Tang, seven months pregnant, stepped into this familiar city with mixed feelings.
After nearly two years, I came back and found that Tianan Prefecture had changed a lot. Many new shops had been built around the streets, selling all kinds of things. The streets were bustling with people, and its prosperity was comparable to that of Xuzhou City.
The once desolate land is now rising.
There are delicious foods everywhere, public security is strict, and people are all smiling.
Su Yinghuai looked at the streets outside through the car window, smelled the mixed smells in the air, listened to the noisy sounds outside, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
"Forty years ago, I came here. At that time, there was widespread grief and war. The people were poor and hungry. I never thought that decades later, this place would be like this."
"Only when the country is strong can the people live in peace." Xiao Jingxuan closed his eyes and said, "In just a few years, Tianan Prefecture will be more prosperous."
Su Yinghuai glanced at him and Ye Tang, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Prince Xian has made great contributions, and you are no less."
"Husband, look, there is a new snail noodle shop over there." Ye Tang pointed in a direction.
Xiao Jingxuan looked in the direction she pointed and found that the owner of the store was from the Xiao clan.
Xiao Wenye smiled and said, "It's Xiao Wuzhu. When I went to Beijing to take the exam, this store didn't even exist. I don't know when it opened."
He asked Jamel Xiao and the others, "Sixth Grandpa, Sixth Grandma, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Ye Tang shook his head: "No, there are many customers in the store. If we go over there, Wu Zhu will have to distract himself to greet us."
Jamel Xiao asked: "Then do you want to find a place to rest?"
Ye Tang refused: "No, I'm not tired. While it's still early, let's continue on our journey and we can still reach the villa before dark."
"Okay, let's continue on our way."
"I've been away from home for so long, I don't know how things are going at home."
Ye Tang and Jamel Xiao were full of anticipation.
Xiao Wenye held the wooden box in his hands even tighter.
Su Yinghuai gently stroked the peony jade pendant in her hand.
Because of the ways to make money provided by Ye Tang, most people from Qingquan Village and Wenggang Village came to Tianan Prefecture to do business, and some even bought yards. Not long after Ye Tang and his party had been walking, they saw familiar figures, including people from the Xiao clan and people from Wenggang Village. When passing by the Lin family's braised food shop, the carriage stopped for a while. Ye Tang looked up, but did not see Zhao Sanxi and Lin Chengye.
The braised food shop is still called Lin’s Braised Food, but the person selling the braised food has changed.
Xiao Wenye said, "That's the shopkeeper hired by Chengye, along with a clerk. The braised food shop's business is getting better and better, and the couple has a child, so they can't handle it, so they hired someone else."
"By the way, Chengye also bought a small courtyard with two entrances in the city."
"According to the time, Sanxi should have given birth, but we don't know whether it's a boy or a girl." Ye Tang was looking forward to meeting Zhao Sanxi.
After walking for a while, Ye Tang and his group saw many familiar people, but they did not say hello. After traveling for such a long time, everyone was tired, so they decided to rest and then go for a walk on the street.
The carriage arrived at the gate of a house.
A guard went up and knocked on the door.
A man in his fifties who came to open the door was stunned when he saw the guard. He was about to ask the guard who he was looking for, but then he turned his eyes and saw the team behind the guard.
Ye Tang, Xiao Jingxuan, Su Yinghuai, and Xiao Wenye walked out of the carriage.
Seeing Ye Tang and Jamel Xiao, the man was extremely surprised: "Master, Mistress, you are back!"
As he spoke, he opened all the doors and shouted to the back, "The master and mistress are back!"
