On the grape trellis in front of the high arched house, there are already bunches of green grapes, which make people drool when they look at it.

Gao Ge Lao is still dressed as an old peasant, sitting there shaking a pu fan and drinking tea in a large porcelain bowl, and has not changed in the slightest because he is about to make a comeback.

At this moment, in addition to worrying about Sheji, Gao Ge Lao only has to worry about his brother. As for whether the ancestors of the Zhao family will leave or not, he doesn't care at all.

As Zhao Liben said, Zhao Hao's trip was just a passing scene, how could he come all the way and return empty-handed? So everything was already decided when he left Beijing. Gao Ge Lao was also happy when he got the news of his departure from Beijing......

When it came time to meet, it was a little boring.

An old man who is nearly sixty years old, and a young man who is only sixteen years old, can really talk speculatively and become confidants, that is called a real hell.

So when Zhao Hao asked to say goodbye, he only symbolically kept it for a while, and then pushed the boat down the river and let his grandchildren go.

What's more, Zhao Liben stayed in his Zhuangzi for a moment longer, and he was afraid that he couldn't help it and wanted to gelding that waste.

"Then the junior won't go back to the capital first." Zhao Hao also didn't have any good feelings about this Henan guy who didn't like to listen. But he will still say what needs to be said. "Let's wish Xuan Weng a comeback and make a big comeback."

"Promise your good words." Gao Gong didn't say those hypocritical clichés. On the first day of next month, the four families of Henan, Shanxi, Huguang, and Jiangnan worked together, and the pigs could be sent to the sky.

After a pause, he said again: "Don't worry, the first thing the old man did when he arrived in the capital was to renegotiate the shipping of grain." You'd better still be in Kyori at that time. ”

"Juniors try their best." Zhao Hao nodded, got up and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly heard a burst of chickens and dogs jumping outside the door.

Gao Gong looked up unhappily, and saw his eldest brother wearing gold armor, a silver helmet, leather boots, and a scarlet cloak floating behind his back.

The corners of Gao Ge's old mouth twitched twice, and he said in his heart that the eldest brother is really happy to do this, and as soon as a new guest comes, he will be dressed neatly and make a shining appearance.

But Gao Jie didn't come for the guests, he arched his hand towards Gao Gong and said, "Little San'er, I'm here to bid farewell to you for my brother!" ”

"Poof...... Gao Gong squirted out a sip of tea, coughing and said, "What are you doing?" Where are you going, big brother? ”

"The old man is going to lead the army on an expedition across the ocean!" Gao Jie patted his chest and said: "My commander of the navy, Zhao Xuan, has discovered the thief's lair, wait for me to catch up and kill him!" ”

"Zhao salary?" Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, fortunately, the 'son' in Henan dialect is 'salary', he immediately understood, and glared at Zhao Hao angrily: "What are you doing here?" I don't know my brother has a brain disease! ”

"Little San'er, what are you talking about?" Gao Jie slapped Gao Gong's head, although he was nearly seventy years old, but the Daguan knife was not played in vain, and he almost slapped Gao Gong's head on the teapot. "Only when you are hungry can you get sick."

"Okay, I've got a sick head." It's really a brine point tofu, one thing down one thing. Gao Gong has no way to deal with himself, a crazy big brother. He only dared to glare at Zhao Hao viciously, meaning that if you don't settle this matter, I won't finish with you.

"Xuan Weng is angry, this is indeed the younger generation." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly: "Since I came to Gaojiazhuang, I have been pulled by Zhongcheng Qiang. ”

"You didn't volunteer to join the army?" Gao Jie also stared at each other, and these four bull's eyes glared at poor Zhao Gongzi together.

"Voluntary, voluntarily into the army." Zhao Hao hurriedly changed his words, and then said to Gao Gong: "I said goodbye to Zhongcheng today, but Zhongcheng graciously retained, so I had to ...... I made up such a lame excuse......"

"Hear me? Zhongcheng. Gao Gong immediately came to his senses, and smiled at Gao Jie: "It's this guy who lied about the military situation, I will definitely punish him heavily, please go back to the camp to rest first, so as not to splash blood." ”

"Nonsense, who is it?" Who knew that Gao Jie was not easy to fool this time, and sneered: "You threatened the old man's subordinate just now, didn't I see it?" He was forced to lie! ”

"Big brother, stop messing around!" Gao Gong's anxious temper, he couldn't help but be a little stiff when he heard the words: "The Japanese have all been swept away by the Qi family's army, and there are no more Japanese in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"There are at sea, there are at sea! Qi Jiguang didn't go to Japan again, cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blew and grew again! Gao Jie was stubborn and said: "I don't care, I'm going to go to sea, I'm going to fight the Japanese invaders!" ”

"Big brother, I'm begging you, collect the troops. You're too old to go to the battlefield. Gao Gong stood up helplessly, bowed deeply to Gao Jie, and pleaded.

"Zhongcheng, don't forget it." Zhao Hao also persuaded from the side.

"Shut up!" Gao Jie glared at him first, and then said to Gao Gong: "Little San'er, get up, if you don't let me go, don't go anywhere." Let's live in this village for the rest of our lives! ”

"Huh?" When Gao Gong heard this, he raised his head in surprise, but saw that the eldest brother still looked like he was in a daze, but the words he said were rare and clear.

"The eldest husband is shrouded in horse leather, and the old man will die on the battlefield if he dies!"

"Big brother......" Gao Gong's nose was sour when he heard this, and he almost shed tears.

"Xuan Weng might as well let Zhongcheng go back to Jiangnan with me." Zhao Hao sighed and persuaded from the side: "Our Jiangnan Hospital has famous doctors such as Wan Mizhai, Li Shizhen, and Li Yuanming, with advanced facilities and superb medical skills, and even Lin Zhongcheng, who has been in a coma for several months, can be rescued, and Haigong's wife is even pregnant again. Heng and Vertical Zhongcheng is already like this, why don't you go to Jiangnan Hospital to try it. ”

"This ......" Gao Gong couldn't help but be moved, Hai Rui seemed to be only one year younger than himself.

Phew, it's not!

It's that he is already very worried, what will happen to his eldest brother after he enters Beijing? When the eldest brother is sick, only he can coax it, and others can't communicate at all. He had heard of Jiangnan Medicine, and the names of Wan Mizhai and Li Shizhen were even more thunderous.

Not to mention curing the eldest brother, as long as he can take care of him well and let him get less sick, Gao Ge Lao will thank God for his son.

Moreover, Jiangnan raises people, Jiangnan Group and the boy surnamed Zhao still ask for themselves, which is a good place for the eldest brother.

But there are pros and cons. His eldest brother is in the hands of others, and when everyone has a good relationship, naturally I am good and he is good.

But the situation is changing, and who dares to say how long the fragile partnership can last? In case one day he turns his face, the eldest brother is a hostage in the hands of others!

Gao Ge Lao read history books and naturally knew that the two countries were allied in the pre-Qin period, and both sides wanted to send hostages to each other. The kid surnamed Zhao can't say whether he has this age.

In an instant, Gao Gong almost blurted out, 'Why don't you let your grandfather stay and fish with me', but his physical disgust for Zhao Liben made him unable to speak.

Besides, after his comeback, he is going to be the first assistant, only he kneades Jiangnan's share, but Jiangnan can't knead him, and there is no need to pinch a hostage in his hands. If you do more, you will stop laughing.

After thinking about it, Gao Gong finally nodded with difficulty, looked at Zhao Hao deeply and said, "Take care of my eldest brother." ”

"Xuan Weng only has a hundred hearts, and Jiangnan Group and I will do our best to help Zhongcheng recover as soon as possible." Zhao Hao drew a cake for Gao Gong.

~~

As a result, the next day, when the Zhao family and his party left Gaojiazhuang, there was really an old general in the team.

On a hot day, Gao Jie had to wear his armor, and he was not afraid of heat stroke......

Gao Gong sent it again and again, and sent it for twenty miles until he reluctantly turned back. Of course, he didn't send the Zhao family's ancestors and grandchildren, but he was just worried about his eldest brother.

But fortunately, the old housekeeper Gao Fu would accompany him all the way, and Shao Fangweng's son-in-law also set off together, and Gao Ge Lao barely stopped worrying.

On the way back, even if you don't take the Grand Canal, it is much faster than when you came.

Zhao Hao and his entourage drove all the way north and stayed at the Yellow River ferry that night. The next day, I took a ferry to cross the river, and walked for another two days to Xinxiang County.

Xinxiang has the Wei River directly to Tianjin Wei, the predecessor of the Wei River is the Yongji Canal, although after a thousand years, several times changed its name, but this great canal dug by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has always been an important channel to communicate Henan and Gyeonggi. Where the grain enters Tianjin, and the reed salt enters the river, the rate is from this way.

The escorts, who arrived a day early, had already secured enough full boats. Everyone rested in Xinxiang for a night, and the next morning, they took six full canopy boats down the river, and arrived in Tianjin Wei five days later!

Everyone parted ways in Tianjin, and Shao Daxia Weng's son-in-law wanted to enter Beijing to prepare for Tingtui. Zhao Liben also wants to go to Beijing to sit in the town, and with the old man here, Zhao Hao can rest assured that he is out on the waves.

Zhao Gongzi took Gao Jie, who was in good spirits, and continued to go down the river to Dagukou.

The next day, the fleet arrived at Dagukou Seaport.

Compared with when I first arrived in March, Dagukou Port has completely changed. In addition to the construction of a long breakwater, the original wooden pier was converted into a permanent pier. The docks were not yet finished, and the workers were working overtime to build a safe haven for the huge fleet before the storm arrived.

"The workers are very motivated." Zhao Hao smiled at Cao Ke, a soldier from Tianjin who came to greet him after hearing the news.

"Hahaha, this is Tianjin Wei's hundred-year plan!" Cao Ke smiled affectionately at the God of Wealth of the people of Tianjin: "As soon as the people heard that this place will become the end of the grain shipping in the future, they will bring their own dry food to help, I am afraid that your group will not feel the sincerity of our Tianjin people!" ”

"How can this not be felt?" Zhao Hao also smiled: "It seems that if this thing can't be done, I will not only be sorry for the Jiangnan fathers, but I will also have no face to see the Tianjin fathers!" ”

"Hahaha, how can it not be done!" Cao Ke had obviously heard about Zhao Gongzi going to Henan to meet Gao Gong.

He naturally knew that with Zhao Gongzi's current status, how could he bring humiliation on himself if he was not completely sure and did not get enough guarantees?

However, Cao Bingxian was a smart man, and he didn't ask him about the results of his trip, but just took him to the dock to visit.

But how could Gao Gao Cheng agree, and he couldn't hold the Daguan knife in his hand again?

Seeing that Gao Jie was showing signs of madness, Zhao Gongzi had no choice but to apologize: "When I come back, let's have a good chat." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and explained to Cao Ke: "This is Gao Ge's eldest brother, Gao Gao, who is in a hurry to go to sea. ”

"Oh, that's right. It's me who has a lot to do, so please do it quickly. Cao Ke was stunned.
