That night, Lan Qianzhen and Zhang Wang had a good time, and even Zhang Yanwu, who had not appeared for a long time, also appeared at the banquet, but Zhang Yanwu was locked up for too long and was sluggish, and the staggering did not make him feel energetic. After the banquet dispersed, Lan Qianzhen resigned, and Zhang Wang did not force the group to leave the house and get on the horse, and went to the restaurant that had been booked before.

Lan Qianzhen kowtowed like pounding garlic, and finally invited Zhang Yanwu out, and after paving the way for his son, Lan Qianzhen had no worries in the capital, so he formally asked the court to resign and return to the town. In fact, there is no need to invite this matter, the emperor nodded before, but the etiquette that should be there cannot be lost, it is impossible for Lan Qianzhen to say goodbye, and there are many yamen in the imperial court, so many adults, they always have to set up a banquet to see off Lan Qianzhen, even if they are not familiar with Lan Qianzhen at all, this is also etiquette.

So in the following time, Lan Qianzhen drank wine after wine, eating meal after meal, and this meal lasted for three days. Three days later, Lan Qianzhen finally ate all the meals in the capital, and he himself was finally able to leave the capital.

Lan Qianzhen wants to leave, Lan Ziyi, who is a son, naturally has to come out to send, Lan Ziyi got up early just after the end of the day, washed up, and took the Tao brothers out to Xingzai, and at the same time he also instructed the servants in the house, and when the father and son of the enemy family got up, they would serve them to dress and go out of the city, and go to the east gate to wait.

Lan Ziyi and the other four went to the street in the night, and when they came to the line, it was already dawn, the night was fading, and the light and darkness wrestled on the morning and dusk line, pushing the moon to sink in the west and the morning sun to rise in the east. Lan Ziyi stood at the door of Xingzai, crossed the tall wall of the capital and looked at the rising sun in the east that had not yet appeared in sight, the Tao Zhutu beside him had already knocked on the door of Xingzai, and the Tao Zhuhu who was accompanying Lan Ziyi looked at Lan Ziyi in a daze, took off his cloak and put it on for him, and Tao Zhulu asked:

"Young master, what about watching the sunrise?"

Lan Ziyi smiled, he turned around and bowed hands to the soldiers who came out of the door, and then said:

"I've never seen such a clear line between morning and dusk before? It's like God is flipping through a book, turning to the next page. ”

Tao Zhuhu, who accompanied Lan Ziyi into the door together, said:

"The general is gone, but only the young master, you are left to write the next page."

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"My dad came by accident, and I'm not alone when he leaves. There are a few brothers here, and I can write this book. ”

While speaking, the four of them had stepped into the door, and the soldiers guarding the door led the four of them through the front yard and sat in the back hall. After the two sides of the salute sat down again, Hu Yanhao beckoned Lan Ziyi and them to breakfast, and said at the same time:

"Coarse tea and light rice, it can't be compared with the capital at all, it's almost enough to catch up with what is eaten in the army, young master, you will order it, don't dislike it."

Lan Ziyi accompanied Hu Yanhao while eating and said:

"How dare you dislike it, don't Uncle Huyan and my father eat like this on weekdays. Where's my dad? Still sleeping? ”

Hu Yanhao nodded, and he said:

"Last night, the military headquarters held a banquet, and the general ate until midnight, and he was drunk and unconscious immediately after he returned. Let him sleep, he is going to go out on a long journey today, and he will have the spirit to walk only when he sleeps. ”

Lan Ziyi listened and nodded, he put down his chopsticks and looked out of the door, the courtyard had been cleaned, all the dead leaves had been put away, and they were gathered into a pile, and several rooms in the courtyard had also closed their doors and windows, and there were no lights, presumably the same was true of the whole mansion, the people had not yet gone, and the building was already empty and cold, looking somewhat desolate.

Lan Ziyi looked at it for a while, put away his sentimentality, and asked:

"Uncle Er'er should have arrived in Huaiyin today, right?"

Hu Yanhao swallowed the food in his mouth and said:

"It's not so fast, with a female dependent, it's impossible to go so fast, and the canal in the northern section of the river is about to bottom out in the past few days, and the general doesn't plan to take this road."

Lan Ziyi said:

"If you don't take the canal, do you have to borrow it from Luzhou to Heyin? It's a real red land, and it's a problem for Dad to eat and drink from there. ”

Hu Yanhao said:

"I will still take the Fengtian Road, but I won't take the canal, which one will be taken when we cross the river, and the old man will send us a message back when he walks in front."

Hearing this, Peach Rabbit joked:

"Okay, Uncle Huyan, I'll just say why my father left as soon as he returned to Beijing, it turns out that you asked my father to go to the front to explore the way for you! He didn't even have time to have a meal with the three of us. Obviously, the north is already hungry and cannibalistic, uncle, you also sent my father to take so many delicate women to take the lead, even if uncle doesn't pity my father's old bones, you should also pity those palace maids, they can't be slaughtered and eaten like sheep by others when they go to the cannibalistic wilderness? ! ”

When Hu Yanhao heard this, he picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into the mouth of Tao Zhutu, he said:

"Just you talk a lot! How can I have the ability to summon the old man? The arrangement is also arranged by the general, those ladies walk slowly, and if they don't go first, they will drag down the whole team, so let them go behind us first, which can save time. ”

Tao Zhutu bit down half of the steamed bun, swallowed the dish, and asked:

"Then uncle, why don't you go?"

Hu Yanhao scolded:

"You bunny! Kicked your nose in the face? Do you think I don't want to go to such a good thing? Let the old man go is the general's rest assured, if I go, those delicate and beautiful women will not hook me to death? How hard do I endure? ”

Tao Zhuhu smiled:

"So it's because my father's old bird can't set off the wind and waves, so the general threw his old man into the flowers?"

Tao Zhuhu's words caused a table to laugh, and Hu Yanhao taught him a lesson:

"You boys, you dare to bury yourself like this, see if the old man knows not to break your legs one by one!"

Tao Zhuhu smiled:

"Hit that leg? He can't bear to hit any one! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. After laughing, Hu Yanhao explained:

"The general left me to have a social sake, although the old cangtou is close, but in the final analysis, it is still a wrapper, the general has entertained so much these days, if he takes the old cangtou over, he can only wait outside the door, how hard is it?"

Lan Ziyi interjected at this time and asked:

"The court didn't say who this house will belong to after my father goes?"

Hu Yanhao said:

"I mentioned this when I was invited to eat in the palace that day, this was the Huangzhuang before, and after we left, it was still under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Speaking of the palace, in fact, I came today to spread the words in the palace. At noon today, I want to see off Zhang Yanwu and Gao Yanzong, and Father-in-law Yu will hold a banquet in Taichengwei, and his father will have to go there. ”

Hu Yanhao choked when he heard this, Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhuhu helped him pat his back for a long time before he eased up, only to hear Hu Yanhao say:

"In the past few days with the general, it was a nonsense to eat and drink, and I just wanted to drink porridge and soup, where did I have the appetite to eat a banquet?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Father-in-law Long and Father-in-law Yu have both passed the word, and if you don't go, you have to go."

Hu Yanhao said:

"In that case, let's go and tell the general to get up."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Don't worry, it's only the middle of the day, and it's not too late for my father to call him when the hour comes."
