Chapter 349: Going to Beijing
In addition to this, they also ordered soy sauce, and for a while her soy sauce was in short supply, and also ordered the next issue of soy sauce.
Duran's family almost sold out hundreds of catties of soy sauce, and in just a few days, he became a business tycoon.
Such earth-shattering news soon reached the ears of the imperial kitchen of the imperial palace, and the chief in charge of the imperial dining room secretly asked the waiter of the Ministry of Works to buy a batch of soy sauce for the imperial dining room.
The emperor tasted the dishes made of soy sauce, and was surprised that the taste was unusually delicious, and summoned the waiter of the Ministry of Industry to inquire, only to learn that there were capable people in the world who had developed soy sauce, and the sales of soy sauce were second only to the "king of all flavors" salt, and the emperor was surprised, so capable people must be used by the country.
Salt and grain are inseparable, and it is the most costly means of taxation in the imperial court, so the price of soy sauce must be controlled by the state.
The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Duran turned over and got up with a carp, and now she had more things to do, and she had no time to laze in bed, so she hurriedly got out of bed, dressed, and freshened up.
At this moment, Zhao knocked on the door, and Duran opened it, only to see Zhao with a smile on his face, holding an ice silk dress as white as snow in his hand.
"Mother, where did this come from?"
"Silly girl, your sweetheart sent someone to send it eight hundred miles urgently, you can wear it and try it on. Here's another letter. ”
Stuffing the things in his hand into Duran's hand, Zhao smiled and closed the door from the outside.
Holding the cold mulberry silk dress in his hand, Duran's heart instantly warmed, Gu Youan, you are getting more and more intimate.
Unfolding the letter, Du Lan grinned, Gu Youan's position in Shengjing has been solidified, and he will send someone to take her over to sit on the envied princess of An Shi.
Duran was happy, not because of his identity, but because Gu Youan was worried about himself all the time.
She is a self-reliant woman, Gu Youan has just gained a foothold in Shengjing, although she is Xue Yan's sister-in-law, but in the end she is not worthy of the powerful An Shiziye, she will definitely make the world recognize her as a princess through her own efforts.
Stacking the dress in the closet, Du Lan opened the door and walked out, Du Mi happily ran over: "Cousin, you are in a good mood today." ”
"Little girl, dare to make fun of my sister." As he spoke, he pinched her face
"Ah, cousin, I'm not a bully." As she spoke, Du Mi reached out to pinch it back.
For a while, there was laughter and laughter in the small courtyard.
"Lanlan, Mimi, stop making trouble." After speaking, a familiar figure walked into the hospital.
Looking at the door, Duran froze suddenly, and the letter in his hand fell into the air.
Gu Youan rushed to Duran with one arrow step, hugged her into his arms, and the two hugged each other affectionately and did not make a sound for a long time.
Zhao, Du Liang, and Du Mi were about to come in, and when they saw their figures, they quietly retreated, leaving space for the two of them.
"Lan Lan......" Gu Youan muttered in a low voice.
Duran raised his head with a smile in his eyes, "You...... Finally able to come back. ”
He went back to Shengjing for a month, and now he is finally back, "Quick, go into the house and see grandpa." ”
The two entered the house hand in hand, and Old Man Gu stood up in a daze, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, "You'an, you're strong." ”
Gu You'an's eyes were full of tears, and he stepped forward to support Grandpa Gu: "My grandson is not filial, which makes my grandfather worried." ”
"Stinky boy, what is grandpa worried about, you go back to your father, grandpa is too late to be happy for you, hehe......"
"Grandpa......" The tears in his eyes rolled down, and he couldn't help but lose his temper, Gu Youan hurriedly blinked his eyes and wiped away the tears with his sleeves.
When the two of them entered the house, Zhao and Du Mi followed up.
"Brother-in-law." Du Mi called happily.
"An Shiziye!" Zhao performed a standard blessing ceremony.
"Mother-in-law, how dare your son-in-law accept such a big gift, please hurry up."
The family gathered together and talked freely, time passed slowly, everyone knew that the two of them had something to say, and Zhao hurriedly found an excuse: "Mimi, your brother-in-law is back from the dust, let's go and make him some food to warm his stomach." ”
"Hmm." Du Mi walked out of the house with Zhao in a playful way.
Old Man Gu threatened to stay in the house, so he wanted to go out for a while, and he also left the house.
Gu Youan watched everyone go out gratefully, and then he took Du Lan's hand affectionately: "Lady, I made you suffer in my absence, I'm sorry, I will never leave ......you in the future."
"Yo! My teeth are sticking, I'd better get out. Xu Hening just arrived, and when he opened the curtain, he saw this scene.
Gu Youan raised his eyes and couldn't help but laugh with a snort: "Brother Xu, this Sven person, when did you learn to make fun of others." Is this still the Brother Xu I know? ”
Letting go of Du Lan's hand, Gu Youan arched his hand towards Xu Hening, in the half a year since he left, Xu Hening has helped Du Lan a lot, he knows this in his heart.
The shame in Xu Hening's eyes flashed away, he was because he admired Duran. Guangxi
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Gu Youan broke the stiffness first, and beckoned Xu Hening to come in and sit down with a smile, Xu Hening's eyes inadvertently fell on Du Lan, and seeing the happy smile on her face that was always overflowing, Xu Hening was instantly relieved.
Boss Du, Du Er rushed to hear the news, and even the villagers of Shanwa Village surrounded Du Lan's house, and after a brief reminiscence, Gu Youan came to the courtyard and announced the holy decree in front of everyone.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Duran makes soy sauce to support the poor, Lu Xianneng is able, I specially appointed Dulan as the deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron Division, and immediately entered Beijing to take office, Qin this."
"The courtiers take orders!"
Du Lan knelt down to receive the holy decree, Zhao, Old Man Gu, and all the people present knelt down and shouted Long live the emperor.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, after the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was dispersed, the Zhao family did not want to leave, and Gu You knew Zhao's thoughts with peace of mind, so he used the excuse to chat with his grandfather, and only Zhao and Duran were left in the house.
Zhao's eyes were slightly red: "Lan Lan, are you really leaving?" ”
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Won't you go with us? Don't you want to meet Mrs. Chen, oh, my mother? ”
Zhao shook his head slightly: "I want to see, I will have a chance in the future, my mother has lived in Shanwa Village for half her life, and she is used to the quiet country life, besides, your father is very good to me." ”
"Hehe, my mother is reluctant to father, I know, but my daughter is also reluctant to mother, or we will move to Shengjing as a family, with my daughter's current power and You'an, no one will dare to embarrass you." Besides, if the daughter is busy with official business, she still needs the help of her father and brother. Duran snuggled up in Zhao's arms and coquettishly.
"Mother is naturally willing to help you, but your father is reluctant to give up your grandmother, her old man is old, and after a few years to send her old man away, I will go to you with your father."
Duran nodded stupidly, and that was the only way to do it for now.
"It's not too early, you and You'an should rest early."
"I, I, I......" Du Lan's face blushed uncomfortably, and Zhao glanced at her knowingly, this child, usually babbling, can't let go when he encounters emotional things.
When Zhao left, Gu Youan closed the door when he came in, walked to Du Lan's side and took her hand, looking a little sad.
"What did Grandpa say?" Duran squeezed his hand and asked intimately.
"Grandpa is not leaving, he said that he is old and just wants to live a peaceful life." The moment he heard that his grandfather would not leave, his heart suddenly became empty, and he was very uncomfortable.
Duran didn't know how to comfort Gu Youan, so he only accompanied him silently, and after a long time, Gu Youan suddenly laughed, and Duran blinked his eyes in confusion.
"Grandpa is right, I should pursue my own life."
As he spoke, Gu Youan reached out and pulled down the red plum hosta on Du Lan's head, and his black and silky hair fell down, and a fragrant fragrance spontaneously came to his nose.
Without waiting for Duran's reaction, Gu Youan had already embraced her.
, The candlelight in the room flickered, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the red candles burned out, and the two fell asleep.
At dawn, he hugged the sleeping person in his arms, caressed her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips distressedly, he was a little too much last night, so that she was so exhausted, bowed his head and kissed her lips affectionately, and only after a long time did he get up and get out of bed, put on his clothes, and opened the door to go to Old Man Gu's room.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, all relatives and friends came to see him off, and Bai Yingying held Xu Hening's arm strongly, no matter how Xu Hening shook it, he couldn't shake it off.
He looked embarrassed, but she looked smug.
Zhao's eyes were still red, Du Er couldn't bear it, and reached out to put his hand on her shoulders, "Lady, don't be like this, the child will be sad when he sees it." ”
Zhao shook his shoulders angrily, and Duran stepped forward and joked when he saw this: "Dad, you have to take good care of my mother, if you dare to bully my mother, I can't spare you." ”
Du Er grinned: "Lan Lan, look at this, do I dare to bully her?" ”
The people in the courtyard were happy, and Aunt Zhang couldn't help but joke with him: "In the village, You'an is not the only one who loves his wife, and Du Er also loves his wife." ”
Zhao was ashamed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
The dull atmosphere became pleasant under everyone's ridicule, and Gu Youan solemnly knelt down and kowtowed to Old Man Gu to thank him, and then hugged Duran and reluctantly boarded the carriage.
Chen Jingting, each person has a carriage, the carriage carries several people along the way to eat and drink, Old Man Gu didn't want to feel the pain of parting, without waiting for the carriage to leave, he went home silently.
Du Liang, Du Mi smiled and sent each other, Zhao couldn't help it after all, and tears fell.
Duran lifted the window and waved at them: "Daddy, brother, sister, aunts, Brother Xu, take care, there will be a ...... later"
Du Mi waved her hand and shouted: "Yes, I will definitely go to Shengjing to see you......"
When the carriage went away, people all returned to the yard, Xu Cui'e and Wu Xiangqin came out of the house, and they stopped at the door of the house for a long time, a long time.
"Mother-in-law, it's cold outside, let's go home." Wu Xiangqin persuaded.
Xu Cui'e nodded tremblingly, Duran finally left, but her happiness could never be found again......
The sound of horses' hooves rattled in her ears, as if knocking on Duran's heart, and she reluctantly lowered the curtain, her eyes empty and devoid of energy.
Gu Youan took her into his arms, "Don't think about it, lady, isn't this a husband to accompany you?" ”
