++++++++++++++++ Both Return I (Part I)

The next day, Xinjie and Lian'er packed up, said goodbye to Ah Zhi, and set off for Xianyang. Unlike when they came, the elders of the Luoyang branch of Baicaotang no longer dared to belittle the third young master and the future third young grandmother this time, and rushed to see them off. The two of them didn't take Joe, and faced everyone calmly, looking a little natural and plain. Everyone was calm and without vanity for these two people in such a scene, and they had two more respects for them. Since then, I have also known that I must educate the children of my family who work in Baicaotang and keep my duty.

In the barracks in Gannan Province, the general's wife, Lee, held a letter from her sister-in-law in her hand, squinting at the dust rolling in the pillar of sunlight shining in from the window, and her face showed a hint of mockery. Zhu Ju's woman really has a lot of heart, and she was afraid that the only bloodline left by her brother would return to the mean place of the Zhu family and be wronged, so she placed them in the Luoyang branch of Baihuatang. Fangyan is her brother's only blood and blood, and she is the Li family and her only half-brother and mother-in-law, so she will naturally take care of her and find her a good mother-in-law. If she really fell in love with the man of the Tang family, she, as an aunt, should do her best to help her achieve her wish. It's just that I didn't expect that Zhu Ju that woman would dare to open conditions to lure her. Although the Li family's property is not thin, the shops left behind by the elder brother do have a profit of several thousand taels of silver every year, which is indeed enough for people to eat and dress for several years in ordinary people's homes. But she Zhu Ju is too eyeless, and she doesn't want to think about being the second wife of the Tang family, with the strength of the Tang family, this bit of silver is not enough for her to buy rouge gouache for herself, her daughter and several daughters-in-law in a year. I dare to take out this little thing and show it off, and negotiate terms with her.

If Zhu Ju just asked her to help, without talking about the conditions, she would be willing to facilitate this matter, after all, the third child is the most outstanding among these brothers. Although she has been in Gannan with Tang Wei all the year round, she is clear about the various movements of the Tang Sect. Only the sister-in-law is stupid, carrying the position of her wife, looking down on the third child, disgusted and embarrassed by the third child, her second aunt should take good care of this motherless child. The third child does not fight for the Tang family's property, and he is doing well outside, whether it is in business or in the palace, his status is stable. Such a child is Lee's favorite, and it will be her son's help in the future. She wants him to remember that the second aunt cares for him.

The third child's business has been a lot of money in the past few years, and Yue Huaxuan's income in a year alone may not be lower than that of the Tang family's safe warehouse, not including his Aoki Tea House, as well as the benefits that can be reaped in the capital by being a staff member by the prince's side. Zhu Ju said in the letter that they listed Fangyan's dowry, but the third child was not moved, it was really stupid. I don't even know the general situation of my opponent, so I go to the door to make trouble, which is ridiculous. Her dowry, I'm afraid it is not enough for the third child to drink flower wine in the capital every year.

If it weren't for the Li family's business turnover back then, he would not have married a stupid woman like Zhu Ju to his brother. Marry her, After coming to Gannan, she didn't stop, looking at the good-looking man's eyes were about to fall out. My brother doesn't know how angry he was with that ignorant woman for this. If she hadn't been smart at the beginning, she arranged for this mother and daughter to live in Baihuatang, if she had been allowed to go back to the Zhu family, she would have known who she would have hooked up with, and if she ran into a bad person, she would have ruined her brother's only daughter. Thinking that Fang Yan was his brother's only bone and blood, the Li family was angry. At the beginning, Zhu Ju always took the handle of the Zhu family's relief of the Li family's business, and she was strong at home, she couldn't give birth to a son, and she scolded her brother's concubines every day, which made the family restless, and those women couldn't follow their brother to live well, and they were pregnant with a boy and half a girl. In the past few years, the Li family has been busy with several sons who can shine in the Tang family's business, and she is heartbroken and does not care about her beauty. Now that she is in good shape, it's time to get her out of that stupid mother.

Although Zhu Juren is stupid, her proposal is good, let Fang Yan marry into the Tang Sect and have a good future, so that she is worthy of her eldest brother. As for Zhu Ju, let her be destroyed with the Zhu family, who despised the Li family back then and gave them a lot of unpleasant words. Soon Mrs. Li sent her people to Luoyang to act, and after ten days of getting the letter, she wrote a sincere letter to the old lady of the Tang family, to the effect that Fang Yan, the only orphan she had forgotten her brother, followed her sister-in-law in Luoyang all the year round. One of the reasons why he handed over the child to Zhu and brought it back to Luoyang was that Gannan was hard, not as comfortable as Luoyang, and wanted the child to live comfortably, and also considering that Fangyan was young and could not live without a mother.

But she has not been worried about the Zhu family for so many years, because when she was in the Gannan army, she often did not abide by women's morals, and her brother was angry with her to death. But family ugliness can't be publicized, so I haven't mentioned it to the old lady in the past few years. Now, relatives and friends in Luoyang have sent a letter, saying that Zhu Ju recently had an affair with a man and was bumped into by the Li family's relatives in Luoyang. In order to prevent Zhu Ju from taking the eldest brother's only bone and blood, the Li family wanted to take Fang Yan to his side. But Fangyan is just in the year of Jilu, should talk about marriage, if you go to Gannan, it is not cheap to find relatives to see, now I want to ask the old lady to send Fangyan to Xianyang Tangzhuang, let her and the new moon as a companion, ask the eldest wife to take care of and teach, and ask the eldest lady to find a suitable in-law in Xianyang, so that she can stay away from the bad influence of Luoyang mother. Li is confident that the old lady will inevitably agree, the Tang family has stood firm for so many years, relying on the mutual support between brothers, some for the family business, and some for the family to serve in the army. Naturally, taking care of the household chores at home has to share a lot of work for the brothers in the army. Her request is not too harsh, but it shows that she pays attention to family affection, does not forget to take care of her brother's orphans, is kind and knowledgeable, this is the image that Li has always maintained in Tangmen.

When Lian'er and Xinjie returned to Tangzhuang, Grandma and Tang Lan greeted them with great enthusiasm. Grandma was very pleased, and the first victory proved that her vision and the combination she chose were not wrong.

Tang Lan also felt very happy, for so many years, what Xinjie did, in fact, he has been silently paying attention. Xinjie never interfered in the Baicaotang, the core of the Tang family, Tang Lan understood what he meant, and he was unwilling to have any competition with Xintian, which was also a kind of alienation from his father. But in the past two years, his own Yuehuaxuan and the Baihuatang he managed have been in good order. This time he worked for Baicaotang, and as a father, he can't help but say that it is a kind of return to his son. In order to welcome them back, Tang Lan proposed to her grandmother for the first time that everyone have dinner together, which was previously convened by Mrs. Tang. Although Tang Lan didn't talk much during the banquet, he always looked at Xinjie gently, and sometimes at Lian'er. He believes and hopes that his son will be happier than himself in the future. Looking at Lian'er, it reminded him of Yeon-yeon, who was beautiful and capable, and who gave him a lot. Because of the shadow caused by Lan Xin, Tang Lan further observed Lian'er's actions, and so far, he was still very satisfied. In the matter of Lan Xin, he felt very guilty about Xinjie, and if he could marry someone he liked, it would be regarded as compensation for his father.

The only one who felt worried was Mrs. Tang, although she didn't know the details, and Tang Lan didn't want to explain more to her, but she knew that it was Xinjie who interfered in the affairs of Baicaotang. She felt that Xinjie was too insidious, and took advantage of Xintian's absence, not only to get involved in the affairs of Baicaotang, but also to mix with the cousin of the Bai family. When the girl came, she was very fond of the old lady. Although she has always opposed Xintian's pursuit of this helpless girl, people have been talking about it recently, saying that Xinjie likes this girl very much, and took her to Luoyang to play in the mountains and rivers, obviously to win the favor of the old lady. The appearance of Yu Yanyan back then made her completely lose her husband's heart, and she couldn't let Xinjie steal the limelight of Xintian again. But there was no better way for her than to be angry. Xintian has never accepted her telling him to guard against Xinjie, and this time she must tell him the truth that this brother is beating him up in Baicaotang. As for the cousin of the Bai family, she felt that it didn't matter, how could an orphan girl who was helpless compare to the few family affairs she had for Xintianxuan in the capital. There is no property, and there is no family to help in the capital or officialdom. Xinjie chose it just right, and it saved her from arguing with Xintian for this.

Although she was so optimistic about the girl of the Bai family, Mrs. Tang was still extremely resentful of the rare pampering expression that her husband showed to the dog man and woman during the banquet. For so many years, she had never seen Tang Lan look at Xintian or Xinye with the same eyes. Now not only did that wild seed win his favor, but even the poor woman he was looking for fell into Tang Lan's eyes. She was so tired of seeing them that she went back to her yard early after eating.

Xinjie finally took Lian'er back to his and Lian'er's yard. At night, there was no longer any obstruction from Liu's mother, and they returned to their life before they went to Luoyang. He now enjoys this kind of day, whether it is reading together, practicing, playing the piano and playing the flute, or he accompanies Lian'er to dance for him, or walks in the Zhuangzi together, it makes him feel very happy. It's really good to have Lian'er by her side. During the day, they are still busy, Xinjie is busy with his own business, busy with the things entrusted by the prince, busy helping Xintian take care of various affairs of Baicaotang, and Lian'er gradually gets started with the various matters of Baihuatang, while appreciating the Baihuatang designed by her grandmother and aunt back then, she also thinks about how to make it better. In addition, she resumed her consultation in Xianyang Baicaotang, because she had been out for a month, there were some patients waiting for her to come back, the original consultation time could not see so many patients, the end of the year was approaching, she did not want to see these patients wait for a long time, so she temporarily increased the consultation time to the morning of the next day. When she was running back and forth on the road from the city to Tangzhuang, she still did not forget to sit in the car and study medical books. The days slipped by quietly, and when Xinjie was nostalgic for the ordinary and warm days every night, several calculating nets were gradually rushing towards Tang Zhuang, ready to hit him and his sweetheart.
