Chapter 251: Reunion
"Let's go back to the village first." Han Yan took the letter handed over by Bai Qi and said with a smile.
Anyway, it's been delayed for so long, and there's no rush at this time.
And he probably could guess why Wang Yaozu was in a hurry to write to him at this time.
Wang Jigao made meritorious service this time, although his official position was rarely demoted, but for the sake of him not making a big mistake in the past, Zhen Guogong did not investigate and punish him to the end.
Therefore, Wang Yaozu's worries are naturally superfluous.
Bai Qi let out a long breath, nodded, and rode his horse to follow.
The three of them went back to Zhang's house first.
Zhang Lihu and Zhang Li happened to be not at home, so they probably went out to play with Xiao Wangzhi.
Shu Yu went to the stove room to arrange food, and Han Yan and Bai Qi entered the house to open the letter.
Seeing that Bai Qi was really anxious, Han Yan first opened the two letters from Wang Yaozu.
Sure enough, as he expected, because he wrote to Zhuang Xian last time to ask Zhuang Xian to take care of and appease Wang Yaozu, Wang Yaozu guessed that he might have the ability to hear the news in the Liaodong army, and specially wrote to ask him about the situation.
"You don't have to worry, I'll fix a letter immediately, and you send someone to the capital immediately, so that the shopkeeper doesn't have to worry." Han Yan said with a smile.
Bai Qi took a long breath and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Han!" In that case, I'll wait a little longer. When Brother Han reads the other four letters and writes a reply, I will bring them back to the town together and let the caravan send them. ”
Anyway, there is no delay in business, and there is not much difference between a day late and an earlier day.
Han Yan smiled: "That's fine. ”
Bai Qi knew that Han Yan was busy replying to the letter, so he got up and said goodbye: "Then I'll go home first, and I'll come back early tomorrow morning to get the letter." ”
Han Yan wanted to get up and send him off.
Bai Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Han is just busy, don't worry about me." ”
With that, he waved his hand out of the house.
When passing by the stove room, I didn't forget to say hello to Shu Yu.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Shu Yu came out with a spatula and smiled at the guests, "The meal will be ready in a while, stay and eat." ”
"I just got back from dinner in town!" Bai Qi pointed to the high sun in the sky and smiled, "It's not dinner yet!" ”
Shu Yu didn't stay any longer, watched Bai Qi leave the yard, and then went into the stove room to get busy.
Han Yan had already written a brief reply to Wang Yaozu, with only eight words: "Everything has been solved, there is no need to worry".
Sometimes the less you say, the more mysterious and convincing it becomes.
And he needs Wang Yaozu's convincing right now, and under convincing, he will seriously carry out the order without asking the reason.
As for the specific explanation, I think Wang Jigao will do a good job.
Han Yan put the letterhead aside to dry the ink, and continued to open Zhuang Xianlai's letter.
The first letter had arrived in early June, some time later.
There was no other reason, and the frightened Wang Yaozu only thought about saving his life for a while, where did he still have the heart to take care of business matters.
Rao is like this, but it is also more than ten days faster than the previous caravan to carry the letter.
Zhuang Xian's letter, as always, was about cooperation with Wang Yaozu.
In the letter, he told Han Yan not to worry, he would stabilize Wang Yaozu on this cusp, so as to ensure the communication between the capital and Liaodong Mansion and not delay Han Yan's business.
Superfluous things, I didn't ask a word more.
Such tacit understanding and trust made Han Yan feel inexhaustible.
The second letter just arrived yesterday, and it was still about business, but because he didn't receive Han Yan's reply in time last time, Zhuang Xian was very worried about whether something had happened to him here, so he asked one more question at the end of the letter, and his concern was overflowing.
Han Yan thought about it, sharpened the pen, and replied to Zhuang Xian first.
First, he told him that Wang Jigao's matter had been resolved, and asked him to tell Wang Yaozu that he didn't have to worry about it, just run his business with his heart; second, he briefly mentioned what happened to himself and Shu Yu recently, explaining the reason why he did not reply in time; Third, I asked him to put away his casual temperament and have a good relationship with his former classmates and colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.
Hanlin Academy is the same as Guozijian, but it is the gathering place of scholars in the world, and Xiao Wangzhi will recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in the future and become a great treasure, which is indispensable for the correct name and support of this group of literati.
Of course, the reason Han Yan did not state in the letter.
Between him and Zhuang Xian, there is no need to explain everything clearly.
As for Han Qian's letter, before Han Yan could read it, Shu Yu had already greeted him for dinner in the stove room.
Han Yan then put away all the letters, got up and washed his hands, and went to the stove room to serve dinner.
This is not a meal, so Shu Yu simply made shredded meat noodles, first padd his stomach, and drove away the hard work and fatigue of running all the way.
The two of them each served a large bowl of shredded pork noodles, and sat on the wooden pier under the porch, talking and laughing while eating.
I had only eaten half of the bowl of noodles, and from a distance, I saw Zhang Orion and Zhang Li holding Xiao Wangzhi alive, talking and laughing towards home.
The two immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked out quickly!
"Daddy! Mother-"
"Uncle Zhang, aunt."
Of course, I haven't forgotten Xiao Wangzhi.
The grandfather obviously didn't expect the person who had been away from home for nearly a month, and he didn't say hello, and suddenly came back, and he was stunned for a while.
Xiao Wangzhi was the first to react, screamed in surprise, and ran all the way with his arms outstretched and pounced.
Han Yan scooped up Xiao Wangzhi and raised it high and spun around twice, making Xiao Wangzhi clap his hands and laugh more and more excitedly.
Shu Yu stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Orion with one hand and Zhang Li with the other, his eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Dad, mother, we're back!" ”
The circles under his eyes turned red all of a sudden.
She has never been away from her father for so long since she crossed over!
Thinking of what happened a month ago, he almost couldn't come back alive to see the "old couple", Shu Yu was afraid and excited and wanted to cry.
Zhang Li's eyes were also red, but he slapped Shu Yu's hand with a smile, and pretended to be angry: "I can be regarded as knowing that I am back......
The rest of the voices were choked in his throat.
Zhang Orion was also very happy, but he was a man and the pillar of the family, of course he couldn't be red-eyed in front of the two of them, so he could only endure it, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back!" It's good to be back! ”
"Auntie hug! Aunt hug! Xiao Wangzhi struggled down from Han Yan's arms and reached out to hug Shuyu.
Shu Yu laughed, bent down to pick up Xiao Wangzhi, hugged him tightly in his arms, lowered his head and laughed with him on his forehead.
If she and Han Yan hadn't survived, what would this poor child do in the future......
However, fortunately, all the turmoil has passed!
Xiao Wangzhi was tickled by Shu Yu's sting, and couldn't help giggling, while dodging, he vigorously pressed Shu Yu against his forehead, and hit it loudly.
Xiao Wangzhi grinned, and everyone laughed.
The laughter broke through the small courtyard and coiled in the forest, amazed at the bursts of mountain birds and the sound of birdsong.
The sky overhead is blue, the sunny day is warm, and the mountain breeze blows people comfortably.
