Chapter Sixty-Nine: Catching the Wind
When Tang Cheng, Cui's Tang Wan and others felt Lin'an, it was already past August when the osmanthus flowers were fragrant, September when the chrysanthemums were full of fragrant flowers, and October when the flowers were withered and killed.
Zhao Shicheng waited at the Lin'an City Gate early in the morning, and waved when he saw the Tang family's carriage from afar.
Knowing that Tang Wan was coming to Lin'an, Zhao Shicheng was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night!
What is a surprise, this is called a surprise! Originally, he thought that he would have to wait a long time to see Tang Wan, but who knew that Tang Cheng would come to Lin'an to take up a post, and he would be able to meet Tang Wan often in the future, Zhao Shicheng felt that there was nothing better than this! The timing of Tang Cheng's promotion is so good that even God is helping him!
After the carriage stopped, Zhao Shicheng greeted him, and after saying hello to Tang Cheng and Cui's family, he couldn't wait to look at Tang Wan's carriage.
Lin Jiafu and Tang Wan were in a carriage, and at this time, she lifted the curtain and stood on the carriage and shouted happily: "Uncle Zhao! ”
Zhao Shicheng looked at Lin Jiafu with his voice, only to see that she had a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, and two words were written on her whole face - excited! Zhao Shicheng was infected by her affection, and cracked his mouth and smiled: "Come, uncle hug." "Stretch out your arms and go to hug someone.
Lin Jiafu was stunned for a moment, reacted half a beat slowly, and was held firmly in her arms by Zhao Shicheng, who hugged her happily and spun around a few times, and then laughed loudly!
Feeling his good mood, Lin Jiafu also laughed, hearty and crisp laughter harmonized, rushed into the sky, and the people around him looked over here.
Tang Wan walked out of the car and looked at the two of them tenderly: Lin Jiafu really likes Zhao Shicheng! The two are very fateful!
At this time, a young man standing under the willow tree looked at this group of people with burning eyes, and it was the first time he had seen such a harmonious scene in the Song Dynasty for so long. Innocent and lively children, wanton men, gentle and beautiful women, although they are not as radiant and bright as the women in their hometown, they have a different kind of soft and beautiful style.
The young man was quite touched, and couldn't help but stare at a few people and look at them, thinking in his heart: Could it be that he has been away from home for too long, and he is actually a little homesick.
"Let's go home in a few days!" The young man muttered.
In full view. Lin Jiafu blushed, and Zhao Shicheng also felt a little embarrassed, so he put the person down and looked at Tang Wan. As soon as he forgot to be outside just now, would Tang Wan think that he was unstable?
Cui Shi smiled: "Fu'er, don't be naughty, carefully press your Uncle Zhao." ”
"Aunt, don't worry, Fu'er is very light, where am I so useless? I still have that strength! But Fu'er seems to have grown a little taller. Isn't it? Zhao Shicheng smiled gently.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he stared at Lin Jiafu and said for a while: "I didn't see it!" ”
Cui Shi sneered, and saw Tang Yunxiao running over.
It turned out that Tang Yu helped Liu get out of the carriage, Tang Yunxiao saw Zhao Shicheng and Tang Wan from afar, and hurriedly ran towards the two. You see, Fu'er was a head shorter than Yunxiao when she first came, and now she is only half shorter. Haven't you grown taller? ”
When Tang Cheng heard this, his eyes roamed back and forth between Lin Jiafu and Tang Yunxiao a few times, and nodded: "In this way, it is indeed taller!" You have to eat more after Xiao'er, if you are surpassed by Fu'er, where will your brother's face go? ”
Tang Yunxiao looked at Lin Jiafu depressedly, and stretched out his hand to compare the height of the two of them, and then found that Lin Jiafu had really grown taller, although he was not as tall, but he grew faster than him! Tang Yunxiao lowered his head in frustration. The excitement of seeing Zhao Shicheng when I first met him faded a lot.
Seeing this, Zhao Shicheng hurriedly changed the topic: "Uncle and aunt, this is not the place to talk, you go to the house to rest?" ”
"No need, no need to bother you! Let's go to the inn to stay! Cui Shi hurriedly said. Of course, she wanted Tang Wan to have more contact with Zhao Shicheng, but she definitely didn't like it when she came to the door like this, she couldn't let Tang Wan annoy Zhou before she got married!
The Tang family all nodded! No matter how good the Zhao family is, it is not as convenient as the inn!
Seeing that everyone was unwilling, Zhao Shicheng said: "I have booked a few rooms in the Huibin Building, shall we go there first?" ”
"Good!" Tang Cheng made the final decision.
Huibin Building is the most famous inn in Lin'an. Jing'an Street, located in the north of Lin'an City, is the favorite place for dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, just like a modern star-rated hotel, the highest standard!
Zhao Shicheng took the initiative to order food, asked for a fifty-year-old bamboo leaf green, and was ready to entertain Tang Cheng.
"Uncle, congratulations on your promotion to the middle of the matter, Zigui respects Uncle with a cup, do it first!" Zhao Shicheng drank it all, put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are free!" ”
Tang Cheng smiled: "Thank you, nephew!" Come on, let's touch one! ”
"Okay."
The two clashed glasses.
"Uncle, I will greet you on behalf of my father, and when you are settled, my father will come to visit!" Zhao Shicheng put down the magnetic cup printed with indigo blue and white and said with a smile.
"That's so kind!" Tang Cheng shook his head, "Your father is polite, he is so busy that he doesn't need to pay a special visit!" ”
"It should be! Father and you have known each other since childhood has always been very good, father was supposed to pick you up today, but because of a business from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I really can't leave, so I didn't come, you forgive me! ”
The Zhao family is an imperial businessman, and there will always be a few transactions in the imperial court every year, although it is usually nothing, but it will always be very busy at the end of the year.
Although the status of the imperial merchant is one level higher than that of the merchant, and he is still a merchant in the final analysis, the Zhao family is not a simple businessman.
Zhao was born in the royal family, Zhao Zhongxiang held an official position in the court, and the history recorded: "Zhao Zhongxiang, the word Juyuan, the first name Zhonglu, the great-great-grandson of Song Taizong, Zhao Zhongxiang tired of moving to Mizhou to observe the envoy, know the official affairs of the Western Foreign Sect, and protect the army to undertake the propaganda envoy." The Pu King Garden was built in Shaoxing, and the heir of the Pu King was attacked. Pawn, chasing the king of Yi, and being filial piety. ”
It can be seen from this brief description: the Zhao family is rich and noble, is the descendant of the royal family of Zhengzheng Miaohong, Zhao Zhongxiang attacked the title of King Pu, and was posthumously named King Yi after his death.
The Zhao family of "Shinong Industry and Commerce" does not belong to ordinary businessmen, if you only regard them as low-status businessmen, it is a big mistake!
"Your father is busy, the affairs of the court are the most important, we will live here in the future, and we have the opportunity to meet him, so there is no need to rush for a while!" Tang Cheng replied with a smile.
"Thank you, uncle! Uncle, aunt, Wan'er, you eat vegetables! Steamed fish with osmanthus flowers, braised lion's head, smoked turtle dove, and shredded yam, the signature dishes here can be eaten, you can try it! Zhao Shicheng sandwiched two chopsticks dishes for Tang Yunxiao and Lin Jiafu, looked at Tang Wan, and saw that she was eating well, hesitated, and didn't give her dishes after all.
Seeing Zhao Shicheng paying careful attention to Tang Wan, Cui Shi ironed in his heart, took a chopstick yam, and said with a smile: "Not bad!" ”
Zhao Shicheng smiled gently: "If your aunt likes it, you can eat more!" The cooks here are good, and they are counted in Lin'an. ”
The meal was finished in a harmonious atmosphere.
Sent Zhao Shicheng away, Cui's was worried, they came in a hurry, and there was no place to live in Lin'an City, but the family couldn't live in an inn all the time, and they had to go out tomorrow to inquire and buy a house!
Cui's words were spoken, and the Tang family agreed and unanimously decided to go out tomorrow to find a house! (To be continued.) )
