Ten days later, Fanning's fleet arrived in Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, and Di Qing heard the news and rushed to the Yangtze River wharf to welcome Fanning's return.

Due to the temporary relocation of the overseas economic strategy to Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, as an envoy of the economic strategy, Di Qing is also stationed in Jiangdu, and will go to sea once a year to inspect the size of the flow and Tanzhou and Kunzhou, this year's plan to go to sea has not yet been formulated, but I didn't expect Fan Ning to come back to report on his work.

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, everyone is very excited to meet, on the dock, Di Qing patted Fan Ning's arm, and couldn't help complaining: "You are busy every day, but I have nothing to do in Yamen all day long, I don't know who came up with the bad idea to move the overseas envoy to Yangzhou." ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "At most, the pigeon letter line will be opened, and there will be pigeon letters to Jiangdu almost every day in the future, and Di Shuai will start to get busy at that time." ”

Di Qing sighed, "I am just a transit when the pigeon letter comes, the real decision-making power is still in the hands of the imperial court, and I also hope that the official family will release me." ”

"Do you have eyebrows?" Fanning asked with concern.

Di Qing nodded, "Last time I told the official family that I wanted to sit in the big and small streams, and the official said that he needed to think about it, but one thing has been determined, the overseas economic envoy is only temporary in Yangzhou, and he will move to Quanzhou soon, and the official office over there is about to be completed." ”

"If you move to Quanzhou, it is still feasible for Di Shuai to be in charge of both large and small streams, and when I report on my work, I will suggest it to the officials."

Di Qing laughed, what he wanted was Fanning's words.

.........

The Wanshi sea ship could not go north through the Bianhe River, and it needed to be turned into a Cao ship in Jiangdu, and it took four or five days for the goods to be unloaded and reloaded, so Fanning and Mingren took advantage of these few days to return to Pingjiang Province on a 3,000-stone sea ship.

This 3,000-stone sea ship was the personal cargo ship of Akihito and Mingli, and there were fifty large wooden boxes and hundreds of amber trees in the bottom store, and no one could have imagined that these fifty large wooden boxes were filled with 65,000 taels of gold sand.

The boat took the Taihu Lake line, and finally went along the Xu River to Mudu Town, and Fanning got off the boat after the boat passed through Jiangwan Village, when it was already midnight.

Fanning came to his mansion with two attendants, and as soon as he approached the gate, a dog barked in the courtyard.

He knocked the door, and in a moment, someone asked, "Who!" ”

This was the voice of the housekeeper Uncle Qing, and Fan Ning said in a loud voice: "It's me, I'm Fan Ning!" ”

After a while, the room reacted, "Oops! It's the petty officials who are back. ”

A burst of footsteps ran out, and the door creaked open, revealing Uncle Qing's round face, who carried a lantern and approached Fanning to take a closer look.

"It's really a petty official who is back."

Fanning said urgently: "Don't alarm everyone! ”

But it was too late, and Uncle Qing rushed into the house and shouted, "The little official is back!" ”

The whole mansion was shocked, Fan Ning smiled bitterly, and had to enter the house, at this time, her mother Zhang Sanniang ran out with her hair tied and wearing a wide coat.

She hugged her son excitedly and pinched his cheek, as if suspecting that she was dreaming.

"Mother, I'm back, it's not a dream."

Zhang Sanniang cried with joy and was a little sad, "A-Ning, you have changed a lot in the past two years, you are dark and thin, and my mother almost doesn't know you." ”

At this time, my sister Ado rushed out like a deer and threw herself into her brother's arms, Fan Ning patted her on the head, and smiled at her father Fan Tiezhou, who came out: "Daddy, I'm back!" ”

"A-Ning, you're back to report on your work, right?"

After all, he is his father, and Fan Tiezhou is more rational and realistic when considering problems.

Fan Ning smiled and nodded, "I'm just taking time to come back and have a look, and I have to rush back to Jiangdu tomorrow afternoon." ”

"A-Ning, can't you stay at home for even a day?" Zhang Sanniang exclaimed.

Fan Ning said apologetically: "I have to go to Beijing to report on my work, and then come back again before leaving, but I won't be able to stay for a few days." ”

"And what about your marriage?"

Fanning scratched his head, "I don't know where we are now?" ”

"It's time to marry and worship, and I said that you will come back this time to handle the marriage, and we have been waiting for you, and everything is ready."

Fan Ning was really a little embarrassed, at this time, Fan Tiezhou said decisively: "Then go to Beijing to do the marriage, anyway, A-Ning has a new house in the capital, and the Zhu family also has it, so let's do a happy event in the capital." ”

Zhang Sanniang thought about it, this is also a good way!

She hurriedly asked her son, "A-Ning, what do you think?" ”

Fan Ning smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have no opinion, it depends on what Old Man Zhu means." ”

Fan Tiezhou immediately said: "He is definitely willing to go to Beijing, and it is more convenient for Zhu Pei's parents to enter Beijing, so it is decided, I will go to the town tomorrow to talk to Zhu Daguan." ”

"Old man Zhu is in Mudu Town?" Fanning asked in surprise.

"You don't know! I moved here last year, and Appe is also in town, do you want to meet her tomorrow? Fan Tiezhou joked to his son.

Zhang Sanniang was startled and hurriedly waved her hand, "This can't be helped, newcomers can't meet at this time, it's unlucky." ”

"I'll go tell Sister Pei tomorrow that my brother is back." Addo grinned.

Zhang Sanniang knocked on her daughter's head and said angrily: "What kind of mouth do you have? ”

Fan Tiezhou saw that his wife was in a hurry, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, lady, I'm just joking, and Apei himself is embarrassed." ”

Zhang Sanniang glared at him fiercely, "How old are you, and you still make this kind of joke." ”

At this time, Fan Ning thought about it and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Akihito's ship is also in Mudu Town, it is a big ship of 3,000 stones, you can take this ship to the capital, and if you have anything, you can also put it on the ship and transport it into the capital together." ”

Fan Tiezhou hesitated and said, "But you have to leave tomorrow, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Fanning shook his head, "Akihito doesn't need to leave in a hurry, I can take another boat to Jiangdu, and I'll tell him tomorrow." ”

"No need!"

Fan Tiezhou waved his hand, "I'll go to town early tomorrow morning, I'll go and tell him, you have a good rest." ”

Zhang Sanniang saw that the matter was settled, so she asked her son with a smile: "Aning, are you hungry!" I'll ask the kitchen to cook something for you. ”

"Mother, I'm not hungry, but my two subordinates, you ask Uncle Qing to arrange a room for them to live in, I'll wash my feet and go to sleep."

Zhang Sanniang hurriedly went to explain to Uncle Qing, and asked the maid to prepare footwashing water for her son, and after tossing for a long time, the family fell asleep again.

........

Early the next morning, Fanning went to see his grandparents and went to Zhou Lin's grave to offer incense.

After being busy, Fan Ning went home to talk to her mother a few words, Zhang Sanniang sat on the warm couch, doing needlework, and said with a smile: "You still remember Liu Kang!" I used to study with you in Yanying Academy. ”

"Of course I remember, I still remember that he was admitted to the county school, what happened to him later?"

"He didn't seem to be admitted to the exam, he got married last month, and his father sent an invitation, I didn't go, your father went to drink the wedding wine."

"Do they still live in town?"

"It seems that he moved to Changzhou County, his father-in-law is a big businessman, and he married his daughter to a restaurant, in Changzhou County, Liu Kang is now the proprietor of this restaurant, I forgot what is the name, it seems that what crane is coming?"

"Thousand Crane Restaurant!"

"That's right! Right! It's called Thousand Crane Restaurant, and I heard that it's a bit famous. ”

Fan Ning knew that Qianhelou was one of the top ten restaurants in Pingjiang Mansion, and Liu Kang actually married a rich girl, which was indeed not bad, and there were many detours.

"What about the third uncle?" Fanning asked with a smile.

"Your third uncle is also a fan outsider now, his family has thousands of acres of land, his son is studying in the house, he is very promising, and his two daughters are very well-behaved."

"The third uncle gave birth to another daughter?"

"You don't know?"

Zhang Sanniang was surprised: "The youngest daughters are already five years old. ”

Fanning shook his head, "No one seems to tell me." ”

At this time, Uncle Qing shouted in the courtyard: "Little lady, Mr. has come to class." ”

Addo was listening with relish, and when she heard that there was going to be a class, she pouted and looked unhappy.

Zhang Sanniang urged her: "Go quickly!" After lunch, your brother is about to leave, don't waste time. ”

Addo had to grind and go.

Zhang Sanniang smiled and said to her son: "I invited a female gentleman to teach Ado to read and paint, the little lady in the countryside basically doesn't read, but in the city, if the family conditions are better, they will ask someone to teach their daughter to read, and if you want to marry better, reading is very important." ”

Fanning nodded and smiled: "Mother, I have no objection to Ado reading, of course this is a good thing, you must insist, learning a little more is good for Ado." ”

........

After lunch, Fan Tiezhou just came back, and he brought back the exact news, Zhu Yuanfu agreed to go to Beijing to hold a wedding, and they will leave for Beijing together in five days.

It's not early, Fanning is about to set off to rush back to Jiangdu, he still takes the Taihu Lake line and does not go to Mudu Town.

Just as he went out, he saw a tall Jian Meizi standing outside the door, Fan Ning was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister Jian, where is Apei?" ”

"She wanted to come, but my grandfather didn't allow her to see you, saying that it was not customary, so she had to let me come."

Jian Meizi handed a large box to Fanning, "This is from Apei, is there anything for me to pass it on?" ”

Fan Ning went back to the house and wrote a letter, came out and handed it to Jian Meizi, "Give her this letter, I hope she will come to the capital as soon as possible." ”

Jian Meizi took the letter, turned around and walked away.

Fanning had been watching her boat walk away, and then he opened the big box, and inside it was a white satin coat.

There is also a Zhang Sujian next to it, with Zhu Pei's beautiful line of writing.

'Dumb, this is the first dress I made myself, and it's not good, but you have to put it on!' ’

A dumb sound made Fanning's heart suddenly surge with a warm current, as if he saw the situation when he first met Zhu Pei again.
