Zhong Hao and Xu Feng are now both in the Jinshi and have been awarded official positions, so they are naturally officials, so they both have their own survey brands, and this time they go back to Qingzhou Province, they can naturally eat, live and use the carriages and horses of the post station for free. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, on the way to Qingzhou this time, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng thought that the food at the post station was unpalatable, and where there was usually a city, they all went to a famous restaurant in the city to solve it by themselves. Only when staying at a more remote inn will it be solved in the inn. Of course, even if you eat the food in the post station and use some more money, the quality of the meal will be improved.

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng are not short of money now, but the three thousand guan rewarded by the official family at the time of the ceremony have not been spent, so naturally they will not suffer themselves. All the way back to the hometown and province, they are all stop-and-go and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

As for the carriages and horses, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng also did not use the carriages and horses of the post station. Before leaving Tokyo, Pan Xu specially gave them two very ornate and very sturdy carriages suitable for long journeys!

Pan Xu sent this carriage to drive with two horses, the carriage is spacious, and I don't know how the Pan family did it, the shock absorption of this carriage is also very good, and it is extremely comfortable to sit on, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng naturally will not do those carriages and horses at the post station again.

Zhong Hao brought his newlywed wife Fu Ruozhu, and Xu Feng brought his two little maids from Yangfu, and they came all the way to play in the mountains and rivers, but it was very comfortable and there was no fatigue of the journey.

It's almost exactly a thousand miles from Tokyo to Seisu! This was supposed to be a journey of more than ten days, and Zhong Hao and Xu Feng walked for more than 20 days.

As for the translator and the two entourages sent by the accompanying Honglu Temple to Zhong Hao, I originally thought that this somewhat shabby errand must be a hard errand, but I didn't expect that Zhong Hao, who was in charge, was a rich man. The three of them followed Zhong Hao all the way, eating well, drinking well, and walking leisurely, but they felt that this errand was also very pleasant.

As for whether this would delay their errand to contact the Goryeo envoys, this was not a matter of concern to the three of their entourage.

Anyway, with Zhong Hao in charge, they want to worry about it, but they can't worry about it. The three of them are just three officials, and Zhong Hao is a big official under the sixth grade, and the three of them naturally listen to Zhong Hao in everything, and it is impossible for them to act on their behalf.

Departing from Tokyo at the end of May, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng did not arrive in Qingzhou until mid-June.

………………

When they arrived in Qingzhou, the entourage of the three Honglu Temples was temporarily arranged by Zhong Hao to a post station in the western suburbs of the state city, and then Zhong Hao and Xu Feng entered the city.

Xu Feng's house is near Songlin Academy, naturally in Nanyang City, and Zhong Hao used to live with Feng and Wan'er in Yuqingfang in Dongyang City, so when they arrived at Haidai Street, Xu Feng and Zhong Hao were about to part ways.

Xu Feng said with a smile: "Wenxuan, let's part ways here, and we'll meet another day!" ”

Zhong Hao arched his hand and said, "Okay, third brother." Then tomorrow, the younger brother will go to meet Master Xu and the third sister-in-law! ”

"Well said, well said. If you are free these days, let's also visit Shouqian! ”

"Okay, then we'll talk about it tomorrow! Third brother goodbye. ”

"Hehe, goodbye!"

Xu Feng's carriage went south, and Zhong Hao's carriage went north, each going home.

………………

Yuqingfang, Cangnan Street, the backyard of Xu Ji Restaurant.

The flowers and bonsai in the courtyard are very luxuriant at this time, and the green of the courtyard is very eye-catching, which makes people feel cool in this hot summer.

Zhong Hao was standing in the courtyard at this time, looking at this small courtyard with many of his memories with affectionate eyes. Fu Ruozhu, who was behind him, accompanied by Ling'er, looked at Zhong Hao very warmly and quietly, without disturbing Zhong Hao's thoughts.

I haven't come back for almost three years, and in front of the main house of the north house in this small courtyard, the green bamboos planted are growing more lush and green at this time, slim and elegant, much thicker and denser than before. In front of Wan'er's west wing, the pomegranate tree planted is now much thicker, and now at this time, the pomegranate tree is already full of blue-green pomegranates the size of a child's fist.

On the small platform in front of the window of the east wing where Zhong Hao used to live, there are still those potted plants he likes, a few pots of osmanthus grafted with tassels and old piles, and a few pots of spring with roots and branches! These bonsai seem to have been managed and maintained by Wan'er and Feng's very well in recent years, and the branches and leaves of osmanthus and spring are all black and oily green, and they are very vigorous at a glance. It's just that now that the spring has bloomed, the osmanthus has not yet reached the opening season, and I can't enjoy the appearance of this bonsai flower for the time being.

The golden cinnamon tree in the middle of the courtyard, the stone table and stone bench under the golden cinnamon, and the well, everything is so familiar.

I haven't been back for almost three years, Zhong Hao found that this was a very elegant courtyard before, and it was the same as before, everything was still the way I remembered, and everything looked so warm.

………………

When Zhong Hao sighed in the courtyard, in the Xu Ji restaurant in front of the courtyard in the front yard of the front store, Feng and Wan'er's mother and daughter in the store were busy.

It's the height of summer, the weather is hot, and the business of the chilled drinks in the store is very good, and there is basically no leisure time all day long.

Wan'er finished busy with a few customers in front of her, and couldn't help but ask Feng Shi again: "Mother, Brother Hao should have arrived a long time ago, why haven't you arrived yet?" ”

When Zhong Hao set off from Tokyo, he had already sent a letter to Wan'er and Feng through the official post. In the past few days, Wan'er has been counting the days, under normal circumstances, Zhong Hao and they should have arrived in Qingzhou, but they have not seen Zhong Hao and them coming, so Wan'er can't help but talk to Zhong Hao several times a day.

Feng Shi saw Wan'er holding her cheeks on the counter, and began to drift away again, and couldn't help but sneer: "You dead girl, quickly cover the ice in that wooden barrel, and then sink down there." If this ice melts, be careful that your mother beats you! ”

"Oh!" Wan'er agreed casually, got up and covered the ice bucket with a quilt, and muttered in her mouth: "I asked Sister Su, it is only half a month's journey from Tokyo to Qingzhou at most, why haven't they arrived in Qingzhou for more than 20 days?" ”

As she spoke, Wan'er suddenly thought of something, raised her head and asked her mother, "Mother, you said that Brother Hao won't have anything to do on the road, right?" ”

Feng Shi said angrily on the side: "You stinky girl, don't talk nonsense there, your brother Hao and they are all officials, they live in official posts, they are very safe, what can happen?!" ”

Wan'er asked Feng, "Then Brother Hao, why haven't they arrived yet?" ”

Feng Shi said helplessly: "How many times have you asked in the past few days, and my mother's ears are almost hearing the calluses." How many times have my mother said it, maybe there is something on the road, maybe the road is deliberately slow, maybe it will be there in the next two days! ”

Wan'er looked unbelieving, looked at her mother, and pouted: "A few days ago, you said that, and now you still say so." No, I'm going to Sister Su's house to see if Third Brother Xu is back! With that, Wan'er went to the courtyard from the back door of the restaurant. If the counter of this restaurant wants to go through the front door, it has to lift the paving board of the counter, and the back door is directly open to the backyard.

Feng Shi saw that Wan'er was about to run out again, and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Now is the time when there are many guests, you stinky girl will definitely be lazy again when you come out now." ”

Wan'er said with a smile as she walked out: "Brother Hao, it's much more important than earning those few dollars, anyway, you don't lack money now!" ”

………………

Wan'er came out of the back door of the restaurant, closed the door and turned around, and saw a handsome boy in a royal blue Confucian shirt and a square scarf, standing in the courtyard and looking at the scenery in the small courtyard affectionately.

Who is this handsome boy who has been talking about Brother Hao recently? Wan'er couldn't help but rub her eyes in disbelief, and when she found that it wasn't fake, she couldn't help but immediately smile.

Zhong Hao heard movement at the back door of the restaurant, so he naturally turned around and looked over, and saw Wan'er, who had now grown into a big girl, standing there slimly, and the corners of her mouth were also quickly opening up.

A moment later, Wan'er, who was full of joy, flew over like a milk swallow forest like when she was a child, and threw herself into Zhong Hao's arms. Zhong Hao also picked her up like she did when she was a child.

Belch...... It's just that I didn't expect Wan'er to sink a lot now, and she almost flashed her waist all of a sudden, and couldn't help but put her down in embarrassment, just hugging her into her arms.

However, Zhong Hao only hugged her into his arms for a moment, and then separated without a trace. Now Wan'er is also a big girl, although both of them have no distracting thoughts, but excessive intimacy is always not too appropriate.

Wan'er looked at Zhong Hao, and said crisply with joy on her face: "Brother Hao, Wan'er wants to kill you!" You've been gone for three years, and you've finally seen it today! ”

Zhong Hao smiled: "My cousin is also thinking about Wan'er all the time!" ”

Wan'er said: "Brother Nahao, why don't you come to see us!" ”

"Uh...... Isn't this coming? ”

Immediately, Zhong Hao thought of Fu Ruozhu behind him, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, come and see your cousin!" ”

Wan'er only had Zhong Hao in her eyes just now, and when she heard Zhong Hao say it, she remembered that her brother Hao had already married, and there was a cousin next to her, and she couldn't help but blush slightly because of her behavior just now.

At that moment, Wan'er hurriedly saluted Fu Ruozhu and said, "Wan'er has seen her cousin-in-law!" "When Fu Ruozhu was in Qingzhou before, Wan'er had also seen Fu Ruozhu, but she was not a stranger.

Fu Ruozhu hurriedly returned the salute to Wan'er, and then smiled: "I think three years ago, when I first met Wan'er, Wan'er was still a little girl at that time." This is really the eighteenth change of the female university, but I haven't seen her for three years, Wan'er has become such a beautiful big girl, and she has grown so tall! If you don't talk about it on the street, your sister-in-law won't be able to recognize it! ”

Wan'er rubbed her nose and said crisply: "Everyone is almost fifteen, so she is naturally a big girl." Brother Hao and sister-in-law can't always treat others as children! ”

Zhong Hao smiled: "Wan'er has been a little adult since she was a child, and my cousin has never treated you as a child!" ”

Fu Ruozhu heard that Wan'er was almost fifteen, so she couldn't help but pluck the Yun Feng hairpin from Tokyo's most famous gold store "Yun Duo Ji" from her hair bun, handed it to Wan Er and said: "Wan Er is about to become a big girl, and my sister-in-law doesn't have any meeting gifts, this 'Yun Duo Ji' Jin Hairpin is doing well, so give it to Wan'er." After he is in the future, it can also be used for hairpins! "In the Great Song Dynasty, men generally tied their hair at the age of fifteen, and women were fifteen years old, and they were adults. Wan'er is about to be fifteen, and naturally it is the year of Jilu, so she gave Wan'er a "Yun Duo Ji" Yun Feng hairpin with rich Ruozhu.

Tokyo's "Yunduoji" golden hairpin is famous in the Great Song Dynasty, its golden hairpin is exquisitely made, beautiful shape, and the tail is mostly made into a round cloud shape, which is the hairpin created by it has the name of the cloud. This cloud phoenix hairpin is made into the image of a golden phoenix standing above the clouds, which is very exquisite. The golden hairpin of this "Yunduoji" is also extremely expensive, such as Fu Ruozhu's Yunfeng hairpin, which is more than 100 times. This was given to her by her grandfather Yan Shu when she was in time. Fu Ruozhu has always liked it very much, and he often stays on his head. Today, Fu Ruozhu seems to have plucked the golden hairpin at random and gave it to Wan'er, but in fact, this gift is not random at all!

Wan'er was naturally overjoyed when she saw the beautifully made and beautiful Yunfeng hairpin, and said happily after taking it: "This hairpin is so beautiful, Wan'er thanked her sister-in-law!" ”

Fu Ruozhu smiled: "It's good if Wan'er likes it!" ”

Wan'er smiled happily: "Wan'er likes it very much! ”

Zhong Hao next to him saw it, and also knew that Fu Ruozhu gave Wan'er this golden hairpin as a gift, not only was it not casual, but this gift was very heavy. Wan'er doesn't necessarily know the value of this golden hairpin, he does. Besides, he and Fu Ruozhu have been married for a long time, and the two have been grinding their ears and temples all day long, and he is basically familiar with Fu Ruozhu's affairs now. He naturally knows the source and value of this Yunfeng hairpin, and knows the significance of this Yunfeng hairpin to Fu Ruozhu.

Zhong Hao saw that Fu Ruozhu gave Wan'er such a valuable gift, so he was naturally very pleased and appreciative of her. Fu Ruozhu and Wan'er had nothing to do with each other before, so they were naturally so generous for their own face. This naturally made Zhong Hao feel very relieved and happy.

Fu Ruozhu looked at Zhong Hao's relieved and appreciative eyes, and couldn't help but smile happily. In fact, although this hairpin is valuable, the shape belongs to a more lively and cute type, which is more suitable for young girls to wear!

Fu Ruozhu feels that now that she is married to a woman, she feels that wearing this hairpin again is not quite in line with her identity and temperament. She now prefers the kind of jewelry that looks more mature and stable after wearing it, and doesn't like this lively and cute type very much. Therefore, Fu Ruozhu feels that although the value of this is high, it is not that he likes the type of hairpin too much, and it is very appropriate to give it to Wan'er, who is very suitable for wearing.

And he did this in exchange for the comfort and appreciation of his father-in-law, Fu Ruozhu was naturally very happy.

After Wan'er and Fu Ruozhu finished speaking, they smiled and said, "Brother Hao, you go and sit in the house for a while, and I'll call my mother." My mother may be so happy to know that you are back! Wan'er said, and immediately went to the front restaurant.
