69. Suzhou Tanhua Mansion
After about a month of bumpy sailing, Du Buyi finally returned to Suzhou City.
As soon as Du Bu Bu stepped into the city, many people in the city surrounded Du Bu one after another, and Du Bu Bu was stunned.
It turned out that the people in Suzhou had already heard that the first talent selected by the local last year was not forgotten, and he was in the palace examination and the flower lang was selected.
Du did not forget to return to the front of the house under the pupa of these people, and then found that the door plaque at home had been replaced with a brand new "Du Tanhua Mansion" four big characters.
At this time, Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin had come out to greet them with joy on their faces.
Taking a closer look at the two of them, they found that it had only been half a year, and the two of them were actually much more mature than before, especially the protruding place on their chests was much bigger.
Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin hurried over, and pulled Du Buyi into the mansion with one hand, at this time, the wine and food had already been prepared in the lobby, and Du Buyi was indeed hungry, so he hurriedly asked the two of them to accompany him to eat first.
Not long after the meal was finished, the janitor came to report:
"Lord Jia of the prefect and his son Jia Liang came to celebrate the son in advance."
Du did not forget and hurried out to greet him.
After the two of them came to the hall, Jia Xu said:
"This official came this time to tell Du Gongzi about two happy events, the first one is naturally to congratulate Du Gongzi on his joy in Tanhualang."
Don't forget to thank you quickly!
At this time, Jia Xu said again:
"I heard that yesterday was the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor Xingwang Shizi, I don't know if Tanhualang knows."
Du Bu was shocked at this time, the second brother ascended the throne hall, and he didn't know it, so he hurriedly wrote a congratulatory note and handed it to the servant to send to the capital.
Jia Xu continued:
"So the second joy of the official is this matter, with the relationship between the new emperor and Du Gongzi, I think Tanhualang must have a bright future, and I hope that Du Gongzi can bring the official for Duoduo in the future."
Jia Xu had also met the new emperor Zhu Houxi before, and he knew that he had a relationship with Du Yiyi.
Du did not forget to finish his work, so he hurried back to Jia Xu:
"Xiaomin, I haven't even received the letter of appointment now, the prefect is really exaggerated."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Jia Xuchao led Jia Liang away.
Du did not forget to see that Jia Liang's eyes were full of grievances, and he didn't dare to say a word today, it seems that he must have been strictly disciplined when he came back.
Soon after taking the prefect away, the janitor came to report again, there were guests waiting outside, Du did not forget to go out to greet again, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Mr. Tang Bohu and Mr. Tang Yin.
Du did not forget to hurriedly invite Tang Yin to come to the front of the hall to reminisce, seeing that Tang Yin's complexion seemed to be much older than before in only half a year.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Du Yi didn't forget to ask:
"Recently, Brother Tang's aunt and aunt are fine."
Tang Yin's face darkened instantly, and then said:
"My mother, I'm old, I guess it's not a few days, alas, ......"
I sighed.
Du did not forget to quickly ask:
"Is my aunt short of money for healing?"
Tang Yin replied:
"Yes, my current situation is really difficult at home."
Du did not forget to see this dynasty and said:
"Brother Tang can move to my house with his aunt and niece, anyway, there are many empty houses in my house, so it's useless to keep them."
Tang Yin pushed:
"Last time, Brother Lao Duxian, you gave you money, our family only had a good year, how can I trouble you now."
Du Buyi continued:
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your aunt and Tang Yan, bring your aunt here, I know a miracle doctor, maybe I can cure your mother."
When Tang Yin heard this, he asked happily:
"What kind of miracle doctor is he, is he really that godly, my mother is now suffering from severe asthma."
Du did not forget and said:
"As long as you move your family to my house, I will definitely help you bring the miracle doctor."
Tang Yin saw that Du was so sure that he could save his mother, so he no longer shirked.
After a while, Du Yi called the servants in Qi's house, gave orders, and went to Tang Yin's house to move things for him.
When I came to Tang Yin's house, nine-year-old Tang Yan was reading a book, and Tang Yin's mother was lying on the bed coughing all the time, her face was very pale.
Du Buyi hurriedly carried his aunt to the sedan chair that had been prepared with Tang Yin, and then packed up the calligraphy, paintings, and utensils at home for Tang Yin, and ordered the servants to take them back to Du's house.
At this time, Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin had already prepared three empty rooms for Tang Yin's family.
After everything was cleaned up, it was dinner time, and the few people went back to the hall to start eating.
Tang Yin was naturally more grateful to Du Buyi, so he kept saying words of thanks, Du Buyi couldn't stand it a little when he heard it, so he replied:
"If Brother Tang still treats me as your good friend, you won't be allowed to mention these polite words to me in the future, you know brother, I hate these etiquette or something."
Seeing this, Tang Yin had no choice but to put gratitude in his heart.
Du Buyi continued:
"Brother Tang, we will be a family in the future, maybe it won't be long before I will take the order to go out to work, I don't know when I will be able to return, and Brother Tang will be the master of this family in the future."
Tang Yin hurriedly said:
"Brother Du Xian, don't say that, even if you don't come back, this place will be Du Mansion, and it will never change, and I will take care of it for you with all my heart."
Then he paused for a moment and continued:
"Brother Du Xian, you are actually interested in officialdom, let me say a few words to you, I actually had an official position on the list back then, but I refused, because I saw that officialdom was too dark."
Du did not forget and replied:
"Actually, I don't care about being an official, I just want to help the people more for the sake of officials."
Then he said:
"You should also understand me, I may be a submissive person, I do a lot of things are not active, do not force, if there is really a major matter, I am willing to go to the soup and sacrifice myself."
Tang Yin saw that Du did not forget to say this, and knew that it was useless to persuade again, so he said:
"Okay, I hope Brother Du Xian, your career or life will be smooth in the future."
In this way, after a few days of recuperation in Dufu, Tang Yin's mother's physical complexion has recovered a lot.
Du Bu did not forget to visit Tang Yin's mother every day and took care of him as his own mother.
Tang Yin still goes out every day to set up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings.
On this day, Du did not forget that he had nothing to do, so he came over to help Tang Yin buy calligraphy and paintings, and asked Tang Yin to teach little Tang Yan to read at home.
At this time, as soon as the person who bought calligraphy and painting passed by Du Buyi, he asked:
"How to sell this calligraphy and painting".
Then I opened it and saw that it was a picture of the Spring Palace, and I angrily lifted all the stalls of Du Forgetful's paintings.
Du Bu Bu lowered his head and dozed off with his eyes closed, when the stall was lifted and Du Bu Bu woke up.
Du Buyi raised his head and scolded the person who bought the painting, and at this time, the person who bought the painting couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the person in front of him was so familiar.
Du Yiyi, who was about to get angry, looked up at the person in front of him carefully, and was also ecstatic.
It turned out to be Wang Yangming.
Du did not forget to hurry up, so he saluted to the Taoist, and the two had a long talk.
It turned out that Wang Daochang was invited to give a lecture in Mount Tai, and now he is going to go back to Jiuhua Mountain and just pass by Suzhou, and he wants to buy a painting to see, but when he looks at the picture of the Spring Palace in this painting, he is unbearable, and he is angry.
Now as soon as I heard Du Bu Bu forget what he said, so I hurriedly packed up the paintings for Du Bu, and was anxious to let Du Bu Bu take him to meet the old man, the great painter Tang Yin.
The two of them returned to Du Mansion after a while, and Wang Yangming chatted with Tang Yin, and Du did not forget to find out that the two people who were about the same age were really old friends.
Du didn't forget that it was not easy to disturb, so he ordered Xiaoyi to prepare wine and food for entertainment.
After a few people had eaten, Du Buyi asked Xiaoxin to clean up the room and asked Wang Daochang to stay at home for a few more days, but he didn't expect Wang Daochang to readily agree.
Unexpectedly, after eating, the two of them still chatted and got carried away, which made Du Buyi very bored on the side, and Du Buyi remembered the place Jiang Bin said in the prison before, wasn't it just in Suzhou?
I went out alone, first to find the place, and after a while, I asked a few passers-by before I came to the third courtyard of Suzhou West Lake Lane.
After knocking on the door several times, an old man with a camel came and opened the door.
Du did not forget to see the old man, so he said:
"Uncle, it was Governor Jiang who told me. Let me come here"!
After hearing this, the uncle pulled Du Bu Chu in, closed the door, and then asked:
"How does the governor of Jiangdu look"?
Du did not forget and replied:
"Eagle Eye Monkey Face"!
The uncle asked again:
"Is Jiang Dudu's family still alive now"?
Du did not forget to reply that he had been beheaded by the imperial court more than a month ago!
The uncle shed a few tears at this time, and then pulled Du Buyi into a room.
Removed a cabinet to reveal a small door, under the small door was a step down, so he pulled Du Bu Bu into the small door, down a few steps down, at this time the inside was full of gold.
There were several oil lamps around, and there were more than a dozen large boxes in the middle, and then the old man opened one of the big boxes and showed Du Bu Bu that all of them were full of white silver, which frightened Du Bu Bu Fu.
The old man opened the box next to him again, and it turned out to be a large box of gold ingots.
Then the old man spoke:
"These are all the money and valuables that Governor Jiang hid here for fear that something would happen one day."
Then he motioned for Du not to forget to open each box and take a look.
Du did not forget to open each box to take a look, there were all treasures in it, pearl and jade jewelry, as well as a lot of bamboo and calligraphy and painting silk books of the previous generation, etc., basically more than a dozen boxes were all stuffed.
The old man said:
"Since Governor Jiang asked you to come, he naturally gave you all these things, and my old man's task has been completed, it's time to go."
He went out, Du did not forget to be attracted by the fine paintings and calligraphy, did not notice the old man for a while, and when he was about to ask the old man, he looked up, but did not see the old man.
So he hurriedly chased out, and when he returned to the room, he found that the old man was lying on the table, so he screamed a few more times, but there was no response, and then he tried his hand in front of his nose, and he was no longer breathing.
Du Bu didn't forget to sigh, this old man was really loyal.
I went to find tools first, dug a hole in the yard, and buried the old man in it first.
Look at it again, it's dinner time, it's time to come back, after all, there are still Dao Chang and Brother Tang at home.
restored the location of the cabinet in the room, closed the door of the room and the courtyard, and when he went home, he was thinking about how to deal with this batch of Jiang Bin's legacy.
