Liao Qing nodded, "That's right, Hansha City is also called Cold City, there are many people over there who call it that, located on the northwest border, there are savage barbarians over there, the geographical location is bitterly cold, the city walls are all ice and snow, and it is a state of ice and snow all year round." ”

Xu Jiaojiao has been to Bingyang City once, and she likes the snow scenery of Bingyang City.

Cold City is more northwest than Ice Yang City, so it should be thicker in snow and colder in weather.

"Well, we have returned home, you can ask the fifth brother about the specific situation, now that the paperwork has come down, can we go home?" Xu Jiaojiao is now like an arrow.

The situation of the winery in the countryside has not been checked for a long time.

Of course, I also miss Lao Xu's family.

It's been almost a year here, and before you know it, the old Xu family is really her family, Xu Zhang's, Xu Youde, Erya, Sanya, Erlang, Shilang, Wulang......

Everyone is alive and imprinted on her heart.

With them, there is a home.

has a family, she and Liao Qing are thousands of miles away, and their hearts are stable.

The old Xu family treats her sincerely, so she treats them the same, especially Xu Zhang's family, which makes her feel the depth and greatness of her mother's love, and compensates for the mother's love of the two lives, and she is very grateful.

Liao Qing poked her nose and said with a smile, "Yes, you can go home for the New Year, clean up tomorrow, and we'll go home." ”

"Okay!"

The next day.

Xu Jiaojiao arranged the things of the wine shop one by one, said goodbye to the people of the integrity dart bureau, and went to say goodbye to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother's condition has stabilized, there are many imperial doctors here, and the follow-up treatment does not have to be Xu Jiaojiao.

The Queen Mother knew that she had made up her mind, and gave her a large number of jewels and jade, rouge gouache, and all kinds of silk and satin, tailor-made skirts, robes, jackets, large coats, brocade clothes, arrow sleeves, ribbons, all kinds of gold hairpins, jade hairpins, and ......

In addition, the emperor's reward, 1,000 taels of red gold, as well as all kinds of gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings......

When a whole cart of rewards was sent to the winery, the people who were used to seeing gifts were stunned.

Du Zhengyan was still counting on Liao Qing to stay in the capital for the New Year in Du's mansion.

When he heard that they were going back to the countryside, he hurried over.

Knowingly, he asked, "Where is this going?" Returning to your hometown? ”

Liao Qing replied, "Yes, Dad, the order has come down, and we will take office in the early spring of next year, and now that our affairs in the capital have been dealt with, we plan to return to our hometown and province." ”

Du Zhengyan said, "Why are you in such a hurry, I plan to take you back to Bingyang City to worship your ancestors during the Chinese New Year." ”

Liao Qing replied, "This is not in a hurry, let's talk about it later, at present, I am the son-in-law of the old Xu family, and I have to be the ancestral tree of the old Xu family, which is also very good." ”

The refusal was swift.

Du Zhengyan was choked, "The door-to-door son-in-law is caused by your previous adoptive parents, your current surname is Du, and you are the eldest son of our Du family, and the former son-in-law of the countryside and village husband can't count any identities, not to mention that you are now the champion, and their old Xu family can't tolerate your son-in-law!" Although you didn't go back to Bingyang City to worship your ancestors, your surname has been changed, and the emperor has come to testify, your surname is Du, your name is Du Yuqing, the name of the new champion and the first is also Du Yuqing, and the emperor recognizes our Du family's son-in-law, not the son-in-law of the old Xu family! ”

Right.

That's it.

The more he talked about the back, the more arrogant Du Zhengyan became.

Even outside the door, Liao Qing's identity as a son-in-law was no longer rumored, but Liao Qing himself took this out to gag him.

Think about it, it's infuriating.

Liao Qing sighed, "Since the names have been changed and the emperor has also admitted it, then if you don't go back to Bingyang City to worship your ancestors, you won't be in a hurry for a while, let's talk about it when you have time in the future." It's been a year since we came out of the country, and Jiaojiao is very homesick......"

Du Zhengyan asked again, "There is still half a month to pass, and when I go back to the countryside after the New Year, I will go to the countryside to take office, how good!" You are the new champion and the first in this year, and you will definitely have a lot of entertainment during the New Year's Festival, and the emperor may find you to have two drinks. And your winery, which will close soon next year, and the business is booming, you have walked away, how much has an impact, isn't it? What a little less money! ”

Liao Qing waited for him to finish speaking, still speaking calmly, "It's okay, money is something outside the body, Jiaojiao and I are used to celebrating the New Year in the countryside in previous years, we plan to go back to the countryside for the New Year, and then go to work." ”

Du Zhengyan stiffened his face, "Then Liao Qing, you finally returned home, and you won't spend a good year with your father and me and your grandmother in the first year of this year?" You will go to Hancheng to take office in the future, and it will not be easy to come and go, and you will not be able to transfer back in two or three years. Now our Dufu people are thin, and your grandmother began to prepare for the New Year a few days ago, preparing what you two like to eat...... It's not good to disappoint the old man, anyway, you have been in the countryside for more than ten years, why don't you stay in the capital this year and accompany the old man? ”

Liao Qing smiled, "I'm sorry, Dad, I want to accompany my mother, we are all used to celebrating the New Year in the countryside." I'll talk about it later when I have a chance. ”

Du Zhengyan: ......

After being speechless for a moment, Du Zhengyan felt that he could rescue it again.

"I'll go talk to Jiaojiao."

Liao Qing went with him.

After a while, Du Zhengyan came over again, and he coughed.

"You are filial, and I can't be a father, so let's talk about it when you come back from Hancheng in the future, anyway, the days will be long."

The emperor will definitely recall Liao Qing back to the capital later, otherwise what will he do with the Hanlin Academy?

Such a good pillar of talent will definitely be entrusted with a heavy task in the end.

It is possible that the prime minister will be the king, and it will definitely not be too bad compared to him.

Liao Qing gave him his hand, "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Du Zhengyan smiled bitterly, inconsiderate, can you still tie the two in the capital?

Forget it, it is also their responsibility for the child to leave his heart, and he will find an opportunity to remedy it in the future.

Turned around and walked out the door in the backyard of the brewery.

As soon as he went out, Du Zhengyan changed into the image of a serious and dignified servant.

***

Before leaving Beijing, I also went to Lin Hanlin Mansion.

Say goodbye to Lin Hanlin and his son, and say hello.

Lin Hanlin was naturally reluctant to Liao Qing and his wife, so he kept it, but to no avail.

Then, Lin Hanlin said, "Liao Qing, judging from your edict, the emperor has high hopes for you. But the geographical location of the cold city is extremely remote, there are many wild people, and it is a real bitter cold place! You are a hairy boy, so I let you gnaw such a big bone, and I am not afraid that you will not be able to gnaw it. Also, if you go to such a remote place, if there is anything, we can't help in the capital......"
