Chapter 122: Parting Ways
Dao Baifeng also seemed to realize that he seemed to recognize the wrong person, but he didn't apologize, no matter how his identity was, he couldn't apologize, this was the arrogance he had cultivated as a princess for so many years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Ming didn't expect her to apologize to herself, after all, she was Duan Yu's mother, although she and Duan Yu were not brothers, it was right to say that they were friends, so naturally they couldn't force Dao Baifeng to apologize to herself.
But Zhao Ming will not use his hot face to stick to her cold ass, although Zhao Ming is not a calculating person, but he is not a coward, since she does not take the initiative to apologize, then Zhao Ming feels that it is better not to have too much intersection with her, even if there is anything in the future, it will not be able to pull on himself.
"Brother vain, let's go in, don't stay outside when it's getting late. Duan Yu didn't want his friend to have such a stiff quarrel with his mother, so he hurriedly pulled Zhao Ming and was about to walk inside.
Dao Baifeng didn't say anything when he saw Duan Yu like this, after all, he did make a move indiscriminately just now, since Duan Yu invited this monk in, then he turned a blind eye and acquiesced.
Duan Yu was overjoyed when he saw that his mother didn't speak, he still said that he knew what kind of character his mother was, since he didn't speak, it was acquiescence, Duan Yu immediately took Zhao Ming's hand and walked inside.
Zhao Ming didn't object, first, he didn't want to fall out with Duan Yu at this time, and second, after all, it was getting late, Zhao Ming didn't want to sleep outside in the open air like this, since he had such an experience, Zhao Ming had always been able to find a place to live without ambiguity.
A few people entered the nunnery, and Zhao Ming and them set off early tomorrow morning to go back to the guest room arranged for themselves, and they didn't even eat dinner.
Duan Yu and the others were also helpless, so they had to eat hastily and went back to their rooms.
The next morning, Zhao Ming still got up on time, but when he came to the front yard, he found that everyone was ready.
Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and actually found that Dao Baifeng was also among them.
Zhao Ming looked at a piece of praise suspiciously.
Duan Yu hurriedly said: "Brother vain, my mother hasn't been back for a long time, so this time she will go back with us to have a look." ”
Zhao Ming nodded and didn't say anything, he wasn't ready to go back to Dali City with them, and it didn't matter to him if Dao Baifeng didn't go back or not.
"Okay, let's go. After speaking, Zhao Ming stepped on his white horse, hung the burden on the saddle, and knocked the horse's ass with a centering staff.
The white horse was knocked like this, and immediately ran out as if he had received an order.
Duan Yu didn't delay any longer, originally a few people were waiting for Zhao Ming here, and since Zhao Ming had already come, they set off directly.
A group of five people walked all the way and stopped and stopped all the way, and it took five days to enter the territory of the imperial city of Dali.
Zhao Ming didn't go with them anymore when he arrived here, he is still worried about how this veteran Li Lao's yard is doing, although he didn't want to settle in Dali, but now the capital can't go back, and he doesn't want to find land to buy a house, so he will live here now and talk about it later, just build a courtyard and have time to spend a vacation, it's good.
"Okay, let's philosophize. Zhao Ming stopped his horse and said to Duan Yu.
Duan Yu was stunned when he heard Zhao Ming's words, and then said: "Brother vain, won't you go to the palace with us?" In fact, Duan Yu always thought that Zhao Ming would go back with him, after all, he knew that Zhao Ming had no home here (Duan Yu automatically ignored the empty courtyard with only walls), and the best choice to return to this is of course to go back with himself.
Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "The little monk won't be with you, if there is a fate to see you in the future." Zhao Ming's words weren't nonsense, he didn't think that he wouldn't be able to meet Duan Yu in the future, even if he was in the Five Heavenly Dragon Temple, he would definitely meet Duan Yu at that time.
Duan Yu thought about it and didn't force it anymore, since Zhao Ming said it, he wouldn't take back his words, Duan Yu and Zhao Ming didn't get along for a long time, but they still knew Zhao Ming relatively well.
Zhao Ming nodded to everyone, and without saying anything, he rode his horse in the direction of the town.
Duan Yu couldn't see Zhao Ming's figure in the back, so he turned his horse's head and set off with everyone in the direction of the Dali Imperial City.
Zhao Ming rode all the way to the town, which was only dozens of miles away from the town, and the down-and-out town that Zhao Ming saw in two hours under Zhao Ming's wild gallop.
Zhao Ming looked at this town as depressed as when he left, and couldn't help but feel familiar for a while, and rode directly into the town without thinking too much.
It didn't take long for Zhao Ming to come to the small courtyard he had bought... No, it should be said that in front of the compound, Zhao Ming almost didn't recognize this person when he saw that people were coming and going, and the appearance of the people was like a city.
At this time, Li Lao seemed to have received the news, and hurriedly ran out of it, Zhao Ming couldn't help but sweat for him when he saw this Li Lao like that, although the old man's body bones were still quite tough, but Zhao Ming felt worried when he saw him running.
"Master, master, you are back. As soon as Li Lao came out and saw Zhao Ming, he began to shout.
As soon as Zhao Ming heard the familiar title of 'master', he couldn't help but feel cordial, to be honest, Zhao Ming didn't even know that he had begun to get used to and enjoy the title of Li Lao.
"Master, you're finally back, and you've made the old slave wait for a month. Li Lao came over and took the reins from Zhao Ming's hand, Zhao Ming handed the reins to him and dismounted, Li Lao led the horse and followed Zhao Ming into the courtyard gate.
As soon as Zhao Ming walked in, he felt that his eyes lit up, and there was no longer the empty feeling he had when he first came here, and Zhao Ming found that this place really began to have the appearance of a mansion and a compound.
The old Li in the back saw Zhao Ming and said with a smile: "Master, you are still satisfied with this, you said that let the old slave make up his own mind but let the old slave spend his brain, I sounded what the old man said and went to the imperial city to invite skilled craftsmen from all over the country to discuss and build such a courtyard, which not only has the style of our Great Song Dynasty, but also the style of Dali, Daliao, Tubo, Xixia and other countries and some small places, the old slave felt strange at first, but this is built before I think it is really good-looking...... Saying that, he also looked at the scene in the courtyard, this is still the building in the courtyard has not been completely completed, and there are many more in front of it that have not yet had time to be built, so Zhao Ming can only see a rough idea when he stands here.
"Hey, I remember that there is not a wall behind it?" Zhao Ming saw the back wall of the courtyard from the place next to it where there was no building yet, although it was far away, but he clearly remembered that there was a wall there.
Li Lao looked in the direction Zhao Ming said, and hurriedly said: "Yes, when the old man left, there were walls all around, but when those people designed this courtyard, they found that this place was not enough, so they ......" Speaking of this, Li Lao scratched his head embarrassedly.
Zhao Ming was stunned when he heard this, there is not enough place, and his own yard almost accounts for one-fifth of the whole town, although this town is very small, and it is not much bigger than a village, but even one-fifth of a village is very big (at that time, there were only 100 households in the village, and some did not have it).
This Li Lao is still not enough, fortunately, this extension to the outside does not require money, otherwise Zhao Ming feels that he has to post another sum.
Thinking of money, Zhao Ming thought of a question.
"Old Li, how much did you spend on these?"
Li Laoyi's face turned red when he heard Zhao Ming's words, and he said resignedly: "This ...... The money left by the master has been almost finished, as for the follow-up, I will wait for the master to come back and then continue to ......."
Zhao Ming couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Lao's words, it was more than five hundred taels, although Zhao Ming didn't care much about money, but that wasn't the case.
The first thought in Zhao Ming's mind was not to get it, anyway, he didn't plan to settle here, why spend this unjust money? But after looking at the building that had been completed, this made Zhao Ming feel that he had a fight with the palace in Dali (his own imagination), and in the end, he still didn't say anything to object.
