Xiong Dianshi was afraid of extraneous branches, so he didn't dare to stay in Nanjing anymore, and prepared to return to Kunshan directly.

When you go back, you don't need to go to Jiangdongmen Wharf, you can start directly from Furong Lake.

The reason why Mt. Kokura has transformed from a barren mountain and a wild mountain that was inaccessible in the past into a prosperous place where every inch of land is worth every inch of land is due to two major traffic projects last winter.

The first is to build a Zhuangyuan Road that runs through Shicheng Gate and Qianjie along the dry river, so that the people who go to Beicheng from Shicheng Gate or from Qingliangmen to the south do not have to bypass Kokura Mountain and go directly through Zhuangyuan Road.

The second is to re-excavate the Yulin River, which has been dry for a hundred years, and lead the water of the Jinchuan River into the Furong Pond through the Yulin River. In this way, the boat can go out of the city directly into the Yangtze River from the Furong Pond, which is much more convenient than the original boat out of the city.

Tang Youde also followed Zhao Hao's instructions to widen the Furong Pond into a lake, build a trestle bridge and set up a wharf on the lake, and sure enough, he quickly recruited ships to use this route.asxs.

It is very convenient for people to disembark and get on the boat here. There are charming lakes and mountains in Kokura Mountain, and the popularity has skyrocketed in less than half a year, and the restaurant Qinglou Teahouse Inn has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. How much has it increased in value a hundred times compared to the beginning?

~~

When Xiong Dianshi and Xu Bangrui and his entourage came to the private wharf on the west bank of Furong Lake, they saw that in addition to Yu Jiachang, there were several people waiting there.

Among them is Zhao Shouye, the uncle of the Zhao family who met in Kunshan last time.

Yu Jiachang introduced several others to him, namely Shopkeeper Fang, Secretary Li, and a young man named Jiao Hong.

Zhao Shouye had something to give to his younger brother and nephew, and the shopkeeper asked him to send letters to his children, as well as various sauces and seasonings that were freshly made.

The scholar surnamed Jiao was invited by Li Zhen to teach in Kunshan, and he happened to travel by boat.

As for Li Jiutian, he just joined in the fun.

In the end, the uncle of the Zhao family solemnly handed over the golden silk nan toilet that was disliked by Zhao Hao to Xiong Dianshi, and instructed him to transfer it to the eldest master of his family.

Second Master Zhao's unspeakable concealment depends on it.

Xiong Dianshi hurriedly and carefully took it, hugged the toilet and thanked Yu Jiachang again, and waved goodbye to everyone.

The boatman swung his oars, and the official boat slowly sailed away from Mt. Kokura.

~~

When he returned, it was smooth sailing, and Xiong Dianshi was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so he was not allowed to stay on the shore.

As a result, it took half the time compared to when I came, and I returned to Suzhou.

When they arrived at the ground of Suzhou Mansion, Xiong Dianshi and Wang Bantou felt much more comfortable now.

At least here, the 'Kunshan County Yaqi' hanging on the bow of the ship is finally good. Don't worry anymore, someone will intercept them.

The two were chatting at the bow of the boat when they saw Xu Bangrui coming out of the cabin.

Since he got on the ship, Xu Bangrui has been accompanying Xu Bangning in the cabin, and he is responsible for his younger brother's eating, drinking, and Lazar, which made Xiong Dianshi and others very moved, and they all thought that he was a rare good brother.

"Master Xu finally came out to breathe." Xiong Dianshi greeted him with a smile.

Xu Bangrui smiled politely and asked, "Lord Xiong, how long will it take for us to get to Kunshan?" ”

"Bypass the moat, go down the Lou River, and you can catch up for lunch." Xiong Dianshi replied with a smile.

"I have a reluctant request, and I hope Lord Xiong will be accommodating." Xu Bangrui arched his hand at him.

"How?" Xiong Dianshi asked in a deep voice.

"I want to meet Zhao Gongzi before entering the city." Xu Bangrui said softly: "I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

When the officials of Kunshan County left the Wei State Mansion, they all took a rich coil. If you don't do anything with money, what is the difference between it and the Xu family?

Xiong Dianshi nodded with a smile and said, "Cheng, I'll ask Master Xu." ”

In fact, he also planned to ask Gongzi first, how to deal with Xu Bangning.

As he spoke, he called out to a boat that was going to the West Hill to pull stones.

The old boatman immediately nodded and smiled enthusiastically: "Oh, isn't this the fourth master?" I haven't seen you in a while. ”

"It's a trip," Xiong Dianshi replied casually, and then asked, "Who is in charge of Jiang Shang now?"

"It's Deputy Hua's inspection." The old boatman hurriedly replied, "Coincidentally, it's on the boat behind." ”

Xiong Dianshi set up a pergola in his hand, followed the old boatman's hope, and sure enough, he saw a sentinel ship with the banner of 'Kunshan Inspection Division'.

Hua Qian also saw Xiong Dianshi's boat, and ordered someone to stop the boat and wait for them to come over.

"Brother Xiong, it's back, I thought you were happy in Qinhuai River." Hua Qian grinned and jumped onto their boat.

"I'm still happy, I almost didn't die." Xiong Dianshi rolled his eyes, if he hadn't met Yu Jiachang at the end, they would have been all over the street begging for food.

"Do you know where Childe is?" After greetings, Xiong Dianshi asked in a low voice.

"I'm going to West Mountain." Hua Qian replied: "I just went there today, and I shouldn't be able to come back for a while." ”

"Thanks, see you later." Xiong Dianshi directly threw Hua Qian back on the sentry ship and ordered someone to turn the bow of the ship.

"This guy." Hua Qian looked at the official ship in the distance, and muttered puzzledly: "I didn't go back to report to the eldest lord first, but I went to report to Yanei, and I don't know what I was thinking." ”

~~

The official ship turned around and drove for a while, entered the Xu River from the moat, and headed towards Xishan.

Xiong Dianshi told Xu Bangrui that he would only arrive in the afternoon and invited him to have lunch with him.

Xu Bangrui politely declined, and asked people to go back to the cabin with the dinner plate and eat with his younger brother.

"What a nice guy." Xiong Dianshi and Wang Bantou sighed again. "It's all born to the same father, why is the gap so big?"

After saying that, the two of them ate by themselves.

In that room, Xu Bangrui asked people to put the food on the table, and then repulsed left and right.

In the cabin, only Xu Bangning, who was tied to a chair, and Xu Bangrui, who was sitting opposite him, were left.

"Brother, it's time to eat." Xu Bangrui's voice is still gentle, and it has not changed at all because of the absence of outsiders.

"If you don't come here, you want to torture me." Xu Bangning glared at Xu Bangrui viciously.

Along the way, he was worried that his eldest brother would use the two of them alone to torture him to vent his hatred.

However, Xu Bangrui did not. still served him with delicious food and drink, and recalled with him those happy times when the two were young.

"How many times do you want me to say it?" Xu Bangrui gently blew the meat porridge in the spoon, and then brought it to his mouth and said, "It's too late to thank you for my brother." It's not that you are stupid to go to your grandmother's house, how can you have a chance to turn over as a brother in this life? ”

"Uh......" Xu Bangning was so angry that he vomited blood, gritted his teeth and refused to eat.

"So I'm not going to torture you, or what's the difference with you?"

"Phew, you're still noble!" Xu Bangning took a sip, only to feel that this guy was talking every word.

"Actually, I'm not noble at all, just not as stupid as you. This is a boat in Kunshan County, even if it is pretended, I will also pretend to be a good brother. ”

Xu Bangrui smiled and shoved the spoon into his mouth, and Xu Bangning grinned.

"After all, it is me and my son who will inherit the position of the prince of the country in the future, and we have to let people see that the Xu family is not just scum like you."

"Lao Tzu is not your prop, I will debunk you hypocrite!" After Xu Bangning finished speaking loudly, he was stuffed with a spoonful of hot porridge by his eldest brother, and he almost went out of his body.

"I admit it, I'm not a true gentleman, but have I ever done something unseemly?" Xu Bangrui smiled faintly, and wiped the hot bubble for his younger brother with a handkerchief and said:

"I will be the Duke of Wei who is better than my father, and you, just wait for the trial of Zhao Gongzi."
