The husband's son-in-law

It will take one month to move back to Beijing, which is still fast.

The Li family has been in Zhaozhou for nearly ten years, and the mansion has been repaired twice. The longer they live, the more things they can use to suit their wishes.

Li Zhouzhou made a list of treats for relatives and friends every year during the Chinese New Year. Now half of the bookshelf is filled with these list books. On the other hand, they are courageous, and there are invitations every year in the first few years after the list, and they are at the top, like the Wang family.

The relationship network of the husband and wife, as well as Li Zhaoxi's classmates and friends.

When Li Zhaoxi heard that he was going to move to Beijing, he was very happy at first. His memory of the capital had faded a lot, and he couldn't even remember what it looked like when it snowed. The little black brother written on it.He has never seen this brother.

But when I heard my father said, if there is no accident in Beijing, I might not go back to Zhaozhou.Now Li Zhaoxi is in a daze, won't he come back?

"Lu Yuan, our family has lived from north to south for almost ten years, and now that we are back in Beijing, it's almost the same." Li Zhouzhou didn't say he was dead yet.

But ten years, Li Zhaoxi is now 13 years old. After hearing about ten years, he felt that it was so long and far away. He immediately asked anxiously, "Then Seventeen, will they leave? There are also Huang Langxi and Chen Qingen."

"Their family is here, where are they going?" Gu Zhao patted Li Zhaoxi on the shoulder, and in a blink of an eye, Fu Bao had grown into a little adult, so it was not easy to rub the child's head.

Li Zhaoxi knew that it was a certainty that his father would go back to Beijing to take up his post. His family had to leave. Even though he was reluctant to give up, he nodded and went back to his yard. He packed up a lot of treasures. I can't bear to part with my friends anymore, these foreign things don't seem precious.

Friendship is worth a million dollars.

So Li's Mansion was divided into several groups, Mr. Gu entertained the officials, teachers, masters, etc. who came to congratulate him, Chen Weng, Ben Gu, and the teachers from schools and government schools who came to congratulate him, returned to the spring day at that time The banquet is like a banquet, on the grass by the lake in Lifu, drinking and chatting, talking about ambitions, ambitions, reluctance, and joy, heartily, thousands of words in the wine, and get drunk for a while.

Boss Li also had to deal with business cooperation and shareholder relations for entertainment, while Li Zhaoxi seized the time to bid farewell to his friends reluctantly.

But some are busy.

In the list of returning to Beijing.

Li Zhouzhou first asked Li Chun and Li Xia, although the two said where the master was going and where they were going, but Li Zhouzhou could tell that Li Chun was reluctant to let go of the poorhouse, and had feelings for the children of the poory, Li Xia Also reluctant to leave——

Last year, the war was fierce. Although Zhaozhou was stable, some people were still struggling. The concrete manifestation was that three children were lost at the gate of the relief home from the beginning to the end of the year. Two brothers and one girl were born. month, the older one is more than three years old.

Li Xia adopted two elder brothers.Not raising a girl is also because it is inconvenient.

Li Zhouzhou could see early on that the two had feelings for Zhaozhou, and now they belonged, so he said, "I'll tell you what's in your heart in front of me, I know you're loyal and loyal, but it's been so many years. I have paid back your love, if you don't want to leave this time, I will release you from slavery, and I will settle down in Zhaozhou from now on."

"If you leave, the slaves will be released for you too. Take the time to explain what you have to do, pack your bags, and take the children with you."

"No hurry, I'll give you three days to think about it."

"I said this not to hold you back. In the past, you listened to Li Fu's and mine. Now that the opportunity is here, listen to your own."

Li Zhouzhou was afraid that these two fools would insist on 'loyalty'.

The three people I bought in Beijing back then had different personalities, but the word 'loyalty' didn't matter.Especially Li Xia, who is the most honest and responsible, usually unknown, is the kind of person who will not complain no matter how hard he works, the only thing he wants is to have a child, and now he has a child.

Three days later, Li Chun Li Xia knelt in front of the Patriarch, kowtowed, and said to stay with red eyes.

It must be because the front half of the body was too hard and tired, and it was luck to meet the Patriarch.

Li Zhouzhou released the two people's citizenship. The two cannot buy a house within three years. Li Chun lives in an relief home, and Li Xia has a stewed restaurant. Half of the profit of this stewed restaurant is given to Su Jiayu, and the other half is left to Li Xia, after three years, Li Xia will be able to buy a yard by himself and officially settle down.

Moreover, the atmosphere in Zhaozhou is good now, and no one dares to underestimate the bad ideas of women and husbands who are alone with children.In addition, there are still many people in Zhaozhou who are favored by the Li family. If something happens, the Li family will protect it for the sake of face.

In Li Chun's place there is the second Miss Chen's family from the poorhouse.

Li Xia has Su Jiayu there.

In fact, ordinary people with flat heads live their lives without any earth-shattering events, and when the general environment is stable, they are all ordinary life.

This time with the.

Li Zhouzhou did not take Wang Jian with him, he handed over the business in Zhaozhou to Wang Jian, and half of the shares of the Li family were given to Wang Jian——

Wang Jian didn't want it, but Li Zhouzhou gave it.

"You are my partner now. The shop in Zhaozhou is huge. Now it's not a matter of earning more or less, but the livelihood of the people in Zhaozhou working to make a living. Our family returned to Beijing. We may still have more power after leaving for a year. Yes, but you know, businessmen who do business can take risks if they make a profit. If you are just a manager, those shareholders will fight against you sooner or later. The family is holding on."

Li Zhouzhou knew that it was not easy for Wang Jian. He had his support before, and the Li Mansion was behind him. Once they left, Wang Jian's situation became even more difficult.

Money, the entire courtyard of the warehouse in Li Mansion is full of piles.All kinds of silver and gold jewelry, submarine coral, emerald, colored glaze, etc. are weird. In the past years, the merchants sent them all from Zhaozhou. I didn’t think so. one jump.

"I know that you, like me, don't care about money for a long time. Doing business is a challenge and fun." Li Zhouzhou looked at Wang Jian, "I hope you have a happy and comfortable life, take it."

With red eyes, Wang Jian finally nodded.

The child was with him at the age of 14. After so many years, the family broke up and moved out by himself. Everyone else got married and had children. Wang Jian was the same as before, but Li Zhouzhou knew that Wang Jian's heart was getting richer and richer. full.

The Zhong and Shun generations bought by Li's Mansion, and the loyal generation who has been tempered can do a good job.

Li Zhouzhou left two for Wang Jian, loyal one and loyal three, first to work by Wang Jian's side, whether it is to sell goods or contact them in Jingli, Wang Jian can't have no one in his hands, and then let Wang Jian train his own men.

Wait until the procedure is over.

Li Zhouzhou also opened the Zhaozhou Chamber of Commerce. The shareholders of the coconut factory, canned food factory, seafood factory, and streamer silk under the name of Li’s mansion all came. The meeting was solemn, and Li Zhouzhou announced that Wang Jian became his partner people thing.

Wang Jian is the successor of a new generation of Zhaozhou merchants.

Regardless of those old antiques who are not convinced - I don't want Wang Jian, an older brother, to lead them, but Li Zhouzhou doesn't care about these, there are procedures, and he has registered with the yamen. If anyone disagrees, then quit by himself.

The Li family has decision-making power over the factory—these small shareholders only receive dividends and have no management power.

The people in Zhaozhou have been talking about two things the most these days: Mr. Yi Gu has become a high-ranking official, a top-ranking high-ranking official, and a top-ranking elder.

"The official with the highest head is the first grade."

"It's amazing, but I admire what Master Gu is doing."

"What's the use of your admiration? The emperor is interested in our lord's fame."

"Then isn't your lord going back to Beijing?"

"It's natural, Mr. Ge wants to take care of the emperor's lord."

"Master Gu is leaving?! Where is Boss Li? What about this business factory? Can't it open yet? My girl just graduated this year, and she still wants to work in the factory."

"Don't worry, don't worry, Boss Li has already made arrangements."

This is the second piece of news with great vigor and excitement - Boss Li handed over half of Li's factory to Wang Jian.This is incredible.

Everyone originally guessed that the adopted son General Meng would occupy the shares and property, but they didn't expect it to be an outsider with the surname Wang?

"real or fake?"

"Of course it is true. I heard that the formalities have been completed, and Boss Li even opened the Zhaozhou Chamber of Commerce."

"How much money is there in this factory? Why did Boss Li give it to an outsider? Why didn't he leave it to Master Fubao? Isn't it a waste to an outsider?"

This is the current concept, the family is passed on from generation to generation, and the family property accumulated by the parents is passed on to the children. Now, half of the huge family wealth of the Li family is distributed to Wang Jian——

"Why don't I believe it?"

"I dare not even think about it."

"If Boss Li hadn't come late, I would have thought that Wang Jian would have been born by Mr. Gu, Boss Li. Why does Boss Li love Wang Jian so much?"

"You should say that fortunately Wang Jian is a brother, and Boss Li is loving, Mr. Gu, otherwise." It's too late to make up nonsense.

"The old king of the silk and satin village must be very happy, right?"

"Why is he so happy? Wang Jian has been separated. On the household registration book, Wang Jian is the only one. What does it matter if he is with Master Wang? Now, Wang Jian is the real boss, Master Wang."

"Master Wang's sons were flamboyant before, and Mrs. Wang even told everyone that Wang Jian would live a miserable life like that. Now look, it's the other way around. Boss Wang doesn't care about the Wang family. Now Master Wang regrets going away. Bar."

"I heard that the meeting was over, so Mr. Wang asked Wang Jian to go back to see his aunt with a shy face. I didn't laugh to death."

"After all, Wang Jian should be thinking about being a father, right?"

Everyone thinks this way, even Mr. Wang thinks the same way, and he is very happy, thinking that the Wang family will be the only one in Zhaozhou in the future, but they don't know, because of Li Zhouzhou's kindness As for the love he values, Wang Jian sticks to his heart. He is kind to others, but he is strict with the Wang family.

The Wang family saw such a large piece of fat but couldn't eat it, so they died of pain.But threats such as favors, ethics, and bitter tricks are useless. Wang Jian lives up to his name, and his heart is stronger than a stone.

Su Shiyi and Liu Tao followed suit.

Su Jiayu didn't leave and stayed in Zhaozhou - he got married and married Hou Tong, and now it's not easy to leave.Su Jiayu has been married for several years, Liu Tao was born, brother Lin was born, but Su Jiayu's stomach didn't move. In fact, Su Jiayu was in a hurry and blamed himself, but Hou Tong has a good temper and is not in a hurry.

"Don't worry, we're still young, you and I are so happy to have a good time together, having a child will make you overwhelmed."

"What if there is no one?" Su Jiayu was afraid that he would not be able to give birth.

Hou Tong said: "The Hou family has a big brother to carry on the family line, and a big nephew and a little nephew. We don't need us. I have a small family here. If we are a husband and wife, if we have no children, we will have a good time. If we miss children, we can hold one. gone."

Su Jiayu still felt guilty and blamed herself, and then she cried secretly a few times, but when Hou Tong found out, she coaxed Su Jiayu and worked harder at night. People see the sky and drink tonic soup.

Now in the first year of Guangwu, Mr. Gu was promoted to be the elder of the pavilion, the Li Mansion was lively all day long, Su Jiayu also went to talk, she was reluctant, teary, and then found out that she was pregnant.

People who are pregnant are more sensitive emotionally.

Of course the little couple is happy, this child dilutes a lot of parting worries.

Li Zhouzhou said to Jiayu: "I am relieved that you are having a good time. People always grow up, separate, and reunite. It's okay. Maybe we can see your children in Beijing in the future when they go to Beijing for the exam."

Brother Lin and Meng Jianyun didn't leave either.

Meng Jianyun has also been promoted, and is now the head of the Southwest Army Command Post—the new emperor is willing to use the soldiers who were born and died with him, and he doesn't like to use the clan.

In fact, Meng Jianyun had settled down. Brother Lin and his children were going to move to the territory where the Southwest Army command post was located, a state city close to Fan Kingdom, but Meng Jianyun said that there was no rush, and would wait until it was really stable.

Gu Zhao can also see that the new emperor wants to completely smash the Fan Kingdom and the Hui Kingdom, just like the Nanyi, and enclose them all in the territory of the Dali—it cannot be a small country that wants to fight and provoke. If you are overwhelmed or afraid to surrender, Dali will not pursue it.

Li Wubing is not Emperor Tianshun.

"Even if Brother Lin wants to move, wait until Meng Jianyun settles down before going." Li Zhouzhou said.

Li Lin was reluctant.

"Actually, the situation seems to be stable now, but the power is changing. The local clan forces and the newcomers that the Holy Majesty wants to use are a game of struggle. Brother Lin and Yuan Bao are more stable in Zhaozhou. At the same time, Wang Jian can also borrow Let me take advantage of Xiaomeng's influence." Master Gu analyzed the situation for the two children.

Wang Jian and Brother Lin stayed in Zhaozhou, and the two were close. For Meng Jianyun, who was at the Southwest Army Command Post, they also complemented each other, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

Li Zhouzhou said: "No, once we leave, such a big house will be free, and I'm afraid it will be wasted. You are still living, and there is smoke from someone in the house, so we are happy."

Although people are gone, the Li Mansion is still rooted, which can help protect Wang Jian and brother Lin.

In this way, there are people who really set off to return to the capital, including Li Da's family of four, a dozen boys from the Zhongzi and Shunzi generations, Su Shiyi Liutao, and some house slaves bought by the Li Mansion as guards.

With such miscellaneous things and a lot of things to carry, it is better to go to Liangzhe by water and boat, and then go straight to the capital by land. This can be faster, and you can get there in more than two months.

Gu Zhao and Li Zhouzhou had discussed that when the time came, he would go overland with his guards to go to Beijing on horseback first, and the rest of the guards would go behind.

Dad wants to go back to the village to have a look.

Li Zhouzhou thought about him taking his father and Fubao back to the village to have a look.

Meng Jianyun also sent a small group of soldiers to escort them, saying that they were all his personal guards, so they should be escorted safely.

When Gu Zhao heard this, he was immediately amused, and joked, "As expected of Daddy and Daddy's big brother, and Fubao's good brother, look, I thought our son didn't have any worries about parting. of."

Li Zhouzhou was laughing at the side, and my husband likes to tease children.

In fact, if it weren't for Meng Jianyun's important position, he would have personally escorted his adoptive father to Beijing.Gu Zhao knew what Meng Jianyun was thinking—he must be reluctant, but this person was used to being cold and hard, and he was not used to expressing love.

"Keep your mind in mind, you and Brother Lin will have a good time." Li Zhouzhou said.

Meng Jianyun said quickly, "My child knows."

Gu Zhao didn't tease him this time, but just patted Meng Jianyun on the shoulder in comfort.

"When you go to the battlefield, you have to pay attention to safety. You and Brother Lin get together less and stay more together. Remember that husband and wife are one. For a long time, there will always be difficulties and unsatisfactory things. The two of you must think about it." The firmness and love we had when we were together."

Mr. Gu said the latter words to the two children.

Both Meng Jianyun and Li Lin agreed solemnly.

After all sorts of things were dealt with, the two big ships at Jiting Wharf set sail, and there were too many people seeing them off, merchants, officials, and even the people who came from Zhaozhou, standing on the edge of the wharf, waving and crying. .

After this trip, the common people and merchants in Yu Zhaozhou are afraid that they will never see Lord Gu and Boss Li's family again in this life.Naturally, everyone was very reluctant to part with them. It wasn't just the people of Zhaozhou who came to bid farewell. In the nearby prefectures and counties, there were many people who had received business favors from the Li Mansion.

I can't stand on the shore anymore, and there are people along the winding road.

The common people don't speak nice words, they just remember their friendship, and they turn into a voice of Mr. Gu and Boss Li, all the best and everything goes smoothly.

Gu Zhao looked at the small linear figure on the deck.

"Master."

"I didn't cry, I was blown by the wind and tears." Mr. Gu said firmly to save face.

Li Zhouzhou smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Xianggong didn't cry, but just shed a few little pearls."

Mr. Gu raised his hand and wiped his wet eyes. He had been in Zhaozhou for nearly ten years. When he first arrived, he drilled every place in the prefectures and counties under his horse. , Life is hard and poor, and there is no way, so he just looks for life, looking for a "source of living water" that can make money and get rich.

Bit by bit, he and Zhou Zhou raised Zhaozhou with their own hands. Now the villages and towns are connected, every household can have enough food and clothing, and a pair of cloth shoes under their feet. The people have other livelihoods besides farming, and the houses are built and repaired. Not afraid of raining down.

The common people don't give up, but Mr. Gu doesn't give up either.

So Mr. Gu shed a few small pearls.

"...I just thought you praised my beauty and shed tears." Master Gu turned his head and shamelessly put a hat on himself. He sighed and sighed in his heart. In the end, when the book was used up, he hated less - he couldn't hold back the farewell poem .

I had no choice but to stop looking, face the sea, and look at the vast expanse of the sea.

"My demeanor in Beijing should be better than before, right?"

Li Zhouzhou cooperated: "Gu Tanhua is now in his heyday."

Mr. Gu is very happy.

Don't worry anymore, after a long absence, the road back to Beijing is like this sea, hidden dangers and dangers, but also magnificent——

In the first year of Guangwu, under the fifth month.

Mr. Gu led people to the gate of the capital on horseback, and dismounted to accept the interrogation. The guards handed over Mr. Gu's transfer letter. The city guards saw it and saluted one after another, saying: "Your official has eyes but does not know Mount Tai. I have offended you just now. Mr. Gu forgives me." .”

"You are also acting in accordance with the law, no problem."

When the horse team had entered the city far away, the city gate guard said: "So this is the long-rumored old Gu Ge, who looks only in his early thirties, really, really—"

There is no second in grace and beauty.
