Outside the auspicious building, shopkeeper Li personally sent Lu Yangge to the car.

In addition to the driver who drove the car, even Tao Shan was sent by the shopkeeper Li to escort Lu Yangge back.

Shopkeeper Li did not forget to tell Taoshan to drive carefully on the road and just want to arrive safely.

It wasn't until Lu Yangge's figure got into the old carriage and the carriage disappeared at the end of the road that Shopkeeper Li stomped his feet and looked up at the snowy sky, and sighed lowly: "I'm afraid the sky in this capital is going to change again!" ”

The house that Lu Zhai bought in the capital was the eye of Shopkeeper Li's help, and it was separated from the house of Shopkeeper Li's house by an alley.

Coming out of the back door of the Lu Mansion, you can see the gate of the Li Mansion within a few dozen meters.

In the carriage where Lu Yangge was sitting, the curtain was lifted, so that he could take the car without delaying to see the scenery on both sides of the road.

Tao Shan is no longer the enthusiastic and shy little guy he was at the beginning, in the past few years in the capital, he can almost be said to be a treasure of all parts of the capital, he sat on the wheel and drove while introducing the buildings on both sides to Lu Yangge.

"Jixianglou and Ruyi Zhai, I dare not say that they are one of the best in the capital, but they are also a handful."

Tao Shan talked about the restaurant, his face was full of smiles.

Lu Yangge lifted the curtain of the car and looked out: "There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, if you want to open a top restaurant, you can't just rely on financial resources, you have to be powerful." ”

"Yes, that's what Daddy said." Tao Shan leaned over to the side of the carriage and sighed, "When I first met you five years ago, I was still a young man, and you were still a little hairy child. Didn't expect ......"

Unexpectedly, he would be favored by Shopkeeper Li and recruited as his son-in-law.

What I didn't expect was that the little hairy boy who followed his mother to Fushun to sell recipes five years ago has now become the biggest help for the Li family.

Tao Shan, as the son-in-law of the Li family, naturally knows that these restaurants opened by the Li family have dividends from the Lu family's juniors.

It can be said that if there was no Lu Xiaosi, there would be no current Li family.

If there was no Lu Xiaosi, there would be no chain restaurants that have opened dozens of restaurants all over the country.

Lu Yangge smiled and diverted the topic: "Brother Tao Shan, I heard that you and your eldest sister have given birth to two sons." ”

"Yes."

When it comes to his wife and children, Tao Shan is eyebrows flying.

When he joined the Li family, his father-in-law once said that he would let his second son follow his surname Tao.

But when the second son landed, Tao Shan immediately asked his father-in-law to give the Li family genealogy.

He is not surnamed Tao and surnamed Li now, and his son has his surname, of course, he must also be surnamed Li.

Because of this, his father didn't wait for Taoshan's son to be full moon, so he rushed to the capital to make a fuss, took a hemp rope and wanted to hang himself at the gate of the Li family.

But Tao Shan is stubborn, and the things he thinks are useless even if his father comes.

He only asked his father with a cold face, Dashun and Xiaoshun are all his sons, if Xiaoshun follows the Tao family's surname, can the Tao family have property to Xiaoshun? If there is, he will change Xiaoshun's surname to Tao.

Father Tao was speechless in one sentence.

The Tao family's new house was built with the money earned by Tao Shan's associates, and the thatched houses where the poor lived before were also leased to the rich for farming. Later, Tao Shan joined the Li family, and the Li family gave the Tao family a dowry and bought dozens of acres of fertile land.

The current Tao family has new houses and fertile land, and it is also a small and wealthy family in the village.

Daddy Tao doesn't even like Tao Shan's own son, how can he leave the family property to Tao Shan's son Xiaoshun.

In addition to Tao Shan, the son born to his ex-wife, his subsequent daughter-in-law gave birth to three sons and four daughters.

Speaking of Li Taoshan's smile back then, he was a little bitter: "I feel that filial piety to my parents is my Taoshan's business, and it has nothing to do with my wife and children, and they don't owe it to the Tao family." When I joined the Li family, my father gave the Li family sixty-six taels of dowry, and my father and stepmother were not willing to press the bottom of the box for me even six taels. I only took the old quilt to marry me, not to mention making me new clothes and shoes, if it wasn't for the eldest lady who made me new clothes, I could only wear the old clothes of the past when I entered the Li family that day. My stepmother won't talk about it, but my own father really didn't leave me a trace of face, they didn't think that if I went to the Li family like this, would I be ridiculed and looked down upon? ”

"On the way, I threw the old quilt and old clothes to the beggars, except for the things given to me by the Li family, which belonged to the Tao family, and I didn't ask for even a pair of old cloth socks. At that time, I thought about it, and I would be the son of the Li family in the future, and I had nothing to do with the Tao family. The dowry of sixty-six taels and the salary I earned a few years ago should be repaid for the kindness of my father and stepmother. Even if the meat is deboned and sold, my Taoshan can be regarded as the best price, what are they not satisfied with? ”

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and Li Taoshan's heart has gradually become cold and hard in hopes and disappointments again and again.

"Little Four, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

Some people say that he has a wolf heart and a dog's lungs, forgetting the grace of birth and raising, and sooner or later he will regret it.

Why should he regret it, if he doesn't say that in the future, even if he lets him die now, he won't regret it.

Facing Li Taoshan's inquiring gaze, Lu Yangge replied categorically: "You did the right thing." ”

"I know that I didn't do anything wrong, over the years, the eldest lady has been good to me, and several younger sisters in the family have also respected me, respected me like a brother, and my father and mother loved me like a son......"

Speaking of this, Li Taoshan wiped a handful of tears, "Little Si, don't laugh at me for being useless." I just thought...... I think that I, Li Taoshan, can marry the eldest lady in this life, and can be the son of the Li family's father, it must be because I burned high incense in my last life to have today. ”

The lonely snowfall, the wind stretches, and the human heart is like this white snow, pure and thorough.

The further you go, the more pedestrians there are on both sides of the road. Tao Shan also restrained his thoughts, and began to talk to Lu Yangge about the street scenes on both sides.

"Have you seen the Yueyue Tower in front, this is the leading building in the entire capital......"

Tao Shan's carriage slowed down slightly, so that Lu Yangge could see the Yueyue Tower not far away.

"It was burned down in the previous dynasty, and it was just built five years ago. I heard that this is the last masterpiece of the craftsmen of the former dynasty......"

In the latter words, Tao Shan said vaguely, but there were beautiful words everywhere.

The new dynasty has only been established for five years, and in many places compared with the previous dynasty, it is not as brilliant as the previous dynasty that has been precipitated for a hundred years.

Fortunately, the pace of history has accelerated, and the court has changed from generation to generation, and new things have naturally come out, and old dross has been discarded.

What can be left behind is the essence of the painstaking efforts of several generations.

Lu Yangge lifted the curtain of the car on the side and looked at the Yueyue Tower not far away.

Where the snow falls, a piece of powder wall, carved embroidered sill, the flying buildings on both sides are inserted into the air, the green glazed tiles are covered with snow white, and under the illumination of the sun, there is a faint streamer shining.

The building is four stories high, and the four huge doorposts in front of the door stand straight and stand out. The roof of the building is built with a cornice, and in the two-storey or one-story buildings everywhere, this four-storey small building that covers an area of not small looks more and more brilliant and dignified.

It's really beautiful, if you can ignore the figure standing on the top of the building.

The horses' hooves ticked, and the wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs.

Lu Yangge sat in the four-compartment carriage with the curtain lifted, with a brocade quilt on his knees, and a stove with new carbon in his hand, and the prosperity of the world was everywhere he could see.

On the roof of the building, Zhou Yang looked into the distance, under the snow cover everywhere, the bicycle was moving, and the dirty water and falling snow were mixed together, covered and trampled.
