The climate of Xuzhou is still warmer than that of Hebei, and when the potter returns to Xuzhou, it is a warm time, and that familiar feeling comes to him, making him refreshed and relaxed.

The army was temporarily displayed on the border, and the potters and some of their cronies returned to Pengcheng first.

After arriving in Pengcheng, the potter took care of the state affairs first, and then went home in a hurry.

The long-lost relatives, the long-lost wife and son are all in the house, and the time of nearly two years has passed, and the feelings of longing in this cannot be erased no matter how much they are grinded.

came to Tao's mansion in Pengcheng, and the potter did not let the doorman inform, but quietly walked into the mansion.

When I came to the main courtyard, I saw two handsome, young babies playing in the courtyard under the care of Qiao Yun Qiaoyi, the two children were dressed preciously, their little faces were red and fluttering, one fat and one thin looked very cute, like a pair of small living treasures.

Qiao Yun heard the footsteps, turned his head and saw the potter, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly wanted to give a salute, but the potter made a "shhhhh

When he was young, he saw two boys walk up to the potter and raise their heads together to look at him.

The two children are only four years old, but they are both precocious like little adults.

The potter took a closer look, and from the contours of his nose and eyes, he could easily distinguish which of the two children was Liu Xi and which was Tao Lone.

"Big man, who are you?" Liu Xi looked up at Tao Shangdao suspiciously.

The potter was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

What guy doesn't like to be called big?

This kid has a very unique vision, and he can tell that I'm a big man!

But listening to Tao Lin on the side, he babbled: "Where is he tall?" Compared with the guards in the house, it is far worse. ”

The potter's face fell at once.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Liu Xi's face, and said, "Stinky boy, you see that you have a fat face, and you are embarrassed to say that I am short?" How many things that you shouldn't eat on weekdays, say! ”

Tao Lin was pinched by the potter, and he didn't resist, he just sniffed and said, "Mother said, men are fat and rich, and short people are bullied all year round, why don't you understand anything?" ”

The potter was amused by the boy.

Liu Xi whispered beside him, "Are you a new guard in the mansion?" ”

The potter said hesitantly: "I am the new cook in the house. ”

"What!" Tao Lone's little face stiffened suddenly: "Are you a new chef?" So what should Uncle Zhao do in the future? Where did he go? ”

The potter teased him: "Where else can I go, give me a hand." ”

Tao Lin looked at him with wide eyes in surprise: "Will your cooking be better than Uncle Zhao?" ”

The potter puffed up his chest and said proudly, "That's natural. ”

Tao Lin said: "Uncle Zhao can make boiled projectiles, will you do it?" ”

The potter knew that the projectiles he was talking about were actually meatballs.

"What's that, I'll do more tricks." The potter swore and said: "I will make red projectiles, white projectiles, boiled projectiles, bomb balls, three fresh projectiles, and four happy projectiles." ”

Tao Lone's small eyes suddenly opened round, and there were little stars in both eyes, flashing and flashing, which were exceptionally clear and bright.

"Can you make it for me?" Xiao Tao looked at Tao Shangdao expectantly.

Logically speaking, it is not appropriate for children of this age to let them eat the same things as adults, but the ancients were not so particular, and the food was not so finely classified, and children with teeth basically began to eat the same things as adults.

The potter smiled, reached out and touched his head, and said, "It's okay to do it for you, but what benefits can you give me?" ”

Xiao Tao Lin frowned, and actually began to think about it seriously.

It stands to reason that he is a 'cook' to cook some food for his son, and there is nothing wrong with it at all, but Tao Lin obviously has not yet developed the habits of coming out of a big family, but he ignorantly knows some of the principles of bartering.

But it was clear that he had nothing on his body now.

But I saw Xiao Liu Xi next to him take out a piece of caramel from his sleeve, handed it to the potter with trembling feet, and said, "This is for you, you can make a four-happiness projectile for my brother at noon." ”

The potter looked at Liu Xi with satisfaction and nodded secretly.

At such a young age, he knew that he could use his own sugar to solve problems for his brother, but this open-mindedness and kindness are very commendable.

Tao Lin looked at Liu Xi in surprise: "Why didn't you eat this candy?" Isn't this what my aunt gave you last night? ”

Liu Xi smiled and said in a low voice: "I am reluctant to eat ......"

"It's amazing that you can't afford to eat something and share it with others." The potter touched his head and complimented.

At this time, an old man walked out of the courtyard tremblingly, with a gray beard, a rickety figure, a Taoist robe, and a complete dress of a traveling squareman.

It's Wang Yun.

"Father-in-law! The son-in-law is back! The potter greeted Wang Yun with a smile.

Wang Yun and Tao Qian have been practicing in Pengcheng's Taoist temples and Yu Ji abroad, and today the two old men thought about their grandson very much, so they came back to take a look - by the way, eat something good, and satisfy their hunger.

As soon as he saw the potter, Wang Yun suddenly felt excited, and he pointed at the potter in surprise, his expression trembling.

He had already known that the pottery merchant had pacified Hebei and become the first prince in the world, and while knowing the news, he was both surprised and surprised, but at the same time his mood was also very complicated.

It stands to reason that Tao Shang is his son-in-law, the greater the power of the son-in-law, the more successful the hegemony, he should be happy as a father-in-law, but Wang Yun still has an identity in the past, that is, a loyal minister of the Han family.

Although he finally saw his stubbornness and became a monk, deep in his heart, he still missed the Han family.

But the emperor of the Han family is the nephew of his increasingly powerful son-in-law, and Wang Yun still feels somewhat awkward in his heart.

Why is it so messy.

But even if it is awkward, he can't change the current situation, so he can only look away.

Old man Wang walked up to the potter, looked him up and down a few times, looked up and said, "I'm back." ”

The potter said respectfully: "Father-in-law, son-in-law has lived up to his mission and returned successfully." ”

Although Wang Yun became a monk, the stubbornness and anger in his bones in the past still did not disappear.

But when he saw him raise his head coaxingly, he said, "What father-in-law?" is called Immortal Chief, and the old man is already an ordinary person. ”

The potter looked at him and couldn't help but laugh: "Father-in-law, what kind of earth-shattering ghost and god exercises have you practiced?" Is it the immortal sword technique of taking people's heads thousands of miles away, or the vast supernatural power that moves mountains and seas? ”

Wang Yun snorted and said, "Cheesy! You have this kind of mess in your mind, the so-called immortals, not necessarily have the immortal method of hurting people's lives, but have the ability to help the world and save people's mind, you are young, and you have killed too much, I'm afraid you won't understand...... Yu Shenxian said that with the old man's current compassion and indifferent heart, this lifespan will be at least one hundred and fifty-three years old, so if you call me an immortal, I deserve it. ”

The potter nodded suddenly, and said: "My father-in-law is really profound, not only can he calculate that he is an old man, but he can even estimate how old he can live, and he is still alive in parts and pieces, and the son-in-law is really admired." ”

Tao Lin grabbed Wang Yun's clothes vigorously and said, "Ah Weng, do you recognize this cook?" ”

Wang Yun smiled and said, "Silly boy, what a cook, this is your father!" ”

"Father?" Tao Lin and Liu Xi shouted in surprise at the same time.

The potter smiled and touched Liu Xi's head, and said, "It's right that he calls my father, you should call me uncle." ”

……

That evening, the whole family gathered together and gathered in joy.

Compared with Diao Chan and Mi Zhen, Tao Qian was even happier, although his body has improved a lot since he followed Yu Ji to learn qi, but his two sons, one south and one north, are not around, and the south is a little lonely in his heart.

Thanks to the fact that Xiao Tao Lin and Xiao Liu Xi are there, Tao Qian Lao'er sometimes goes back to the house, and he can still feel the joy of family in the two grandsons, and the joy of the grandson can still make up for the shortcomings.

But today, the eldest son is back, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have made up, Tao Qian is still very happy, and he can't help but drink a few more glasses while being excited, and the whole person is fluttering and red.

The potter persuaded Tao Qian: "Father, drinking too much will hurt your body, so it's better to drink less." ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Tao Qian waved his hand vigorously and said happily: "My son returned with a big victory, recovering half of the country for the Han Dynasty, the old man is happy, not to mention drinking more, it doesn't hurt to drink to death!" ”

The potter grinned, the old man practiced qigong, not to mention anything else, this heart and eye have become a lot bigger, and it doesn't matter if you drink to death.

Seeing that Tao Qian was so interested, it was inconvenient for the pottery merchant to say anything more, so he could only drink with him.

Diao Chan saluted the potter with a glass of wine and said, "Husband, where is Sister Yuan Wan?" Why didn't you come back with you? ”

The pottery merchant said with a smile: "In order to take over the industry of the Yuan family in Hebei, Yuan Wan temporarily stayed there to preside, I'm afraid it will take a long time before I can come back." ”

Speaking of this, the potter turned his head to look at Feng Shi, who lived in his house, and said, "If you can't see Yuan Wan, Madam must be a little lost in her heart, right?" ”

Mrs. Feng shook her head and said suspiciously: "It's strange, before the prime minister went home, Wan'er had already sent a messenger back to me, saying that she would arrive in Xuzhou in two days." ”

The potter was stunned when he heard this.

"Really?"

Feng Shijiao smiled: "Of course it's true, how dare people deceive the prime minister?" ”

The potter frowned and said, "Impossible, I obviously left him there to preside over the Yuan family's industry, a huge industry, she just had to take care of it, and she had to smooth it for three months, why did she run back so quickly?" ”

Feng Shi said with understanding: "Wan'er mentioned some in the letter, saying that it was the family industry, and it was all sold......

"Sold, sold?" The potter's eyes widened suddenly: "There are so many industries of the Yuan family in Hebei, how can they all be sold at once?" Who can afford to buy it all at once? ”

Feng said: "Wan'er said that the person who bought Yuan's property is surnamed Zhen, and she is still a girl, and it seems that she will come to Xuzhou with her this time." ”

The potter's hand holding the wine cup paused.

Wang Yun squinted at the pottery merchant, and then looked at the Feng family, Lu Lingqi, Qiao Yi, Qiao Yun and others who lived in the Tao family, except for Diao Chan and Mi Zhen, and said slowly: "Another one?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"Young man, you are amazing, when your father-in-law and I were Situ, I was really not as coquettish as you, watching you hook up with each other one after another, the old man really felt that I had been an official for decades in vain."
