Chapter 41: Returning Home

Early the next morning, a team of twenty horses, carrying Zhaoxiang's cart in front and back, stepped on the official road to Luanping. Before it was dark, he arrived at Luanping County and rested at the post station.

From Rehe to the capital, if the horse team is only galloping, it can be reached in two days, and now there is one more car driving by the marquis, it will take four days. Guan Zhuofan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he thought about the fifteen-day period, so he went to Zhaoxiang's room to discuss with him to see if he could work harder, walk faster, and save a day's journey.

Of course, this remark cannot be stated directly, but it should be put in another way.

"According to the Hou Ye, this section of the road in the middle is neither by the Rehe nor by the capital, and there is no home at both ends. Do you think we should go faster, lest something happen again? ”

"Okay, good," Zhao Xiang didn't say anything about Guan Zhuofan, who saved his life. And he still has lingering feelings about the scene of being attacked by horse bandits last time, and he has long hated to return to the capital soon.

"Xiexie is sympathetic." Guan Zhuofan smiled and said goodbye, and when he withdrew, he pressed a silver ticket of two hundred taels under the teacup - Zhaoxiang is just a bridge, Guan Zhuofan can't and doesn't have to spend too much money on him.

But in Zhaoxiang's eyes, the meaning of these two hundred taels of silver is different. His sister only rewarded a total of 300 taels, and this time Guan Zhuofan's horse team personally escorted him back to Beijing, and he was both happy and distressed. Happily, with such a powerful army by his side, safety is truly guaranteed; What distresses me is that after arriving in Beijing, I usually want to give people a reward for development, twenty people, fifty taels I don't know if it's enough? As for Guan Zhuofan, I don't know how to thank others. Now with these two hundred taels, in addition to the reward, there is also a surplus, and more importantly, Guan Zhuofan's actions show that he doesn't have to give him anything, but just remember this favor.

Zhaoxiang has nothing to do, but he is not confused, and he knows that this favor is not for him. Her sister is not favored now, so she doesn't have to say anything, if she has the opportunity in the future, she will naturally return it, and she doesn't have to worry about it at all.

In order to get out of the day's journey, he set off from Luanping at four o'clock in the morning the next day. Because of the hurry, everyone worked hard all the way, but fortunately, whether it was the marquis or the soldiers who guarded it, they all had the same wish in their hearts: to return to the capital as soon as possible, so there were no complaints. The car was sparkling, Ma Xiaoxiao, and the group passed through the Gubeikou, and finally saw the city wall of Miyun County when it was just dark.

Dense clouds, earth-shattering, spinning.

This is the second time that Guan Zhuofan has had such excitement in his heart. He arranged a guard at the post station where he was staying, but he did not rest first, but took Túrin with him and took a few laps around the city. After returning to the post station, he and Túrin drew a map of the important streets and locations by candlelight.

After this thing was done, he was willing to lie down on the kang, but he naturally remembered the Bai family at home.

The cry she cried before she left, revealing her true feelings, she couldn't be wrong. When we meet tomorrow, we will probably fall into our arms and cry with joy, right? So night...... Thinking of this, my body was hot, tossing and turning for a while, and when I fell asleep, there was only one thought left in my heart.

Sister-in-law, I'm back.

This small force, escorting Zhaoxiang's car, entered the capital from Desheng Gate. Although he has only been away for three months, the moment he passes through the city gate, Guan Zhuofan still feels like a world away.

The nine cities are still prosperous.

The horse team has been delivering Zhaoxiang to the door of Fangjiayuan's house. Guan Zhuofan took a closer look at the place where Concubine Yi lived before entering the palace, and saw that the outer walls and gates of the courtyard were already old, and the reason why they had not been renovated for a long time was probably a lack of money.

This can't help but make people feel emotional. In this gate of Yehnara, there is a current concubine, a current princess, and the situation of her mother's family is so embarrassing, who would believe it? In the future, in people's imagination, they may still think what a splendid mansion this place will be. It seems that the so-called royal luxury cannot be generalized.

Xianfeng's seventh brother, the twenty-year-old Wang Yiyun of Alcohol County, married the sister of Concubine Yi as his Zhengfujin. "Two brothers married sister flowers", for a while, it became a good story. It's just that King Alcohol is young, and he has only recently divided the government, and he hasn't got any real power, so he is not rich, and the money to subsidize the Yue family is quite limited.

"Guan Zuoling," Zhaoxiang, who got out of the car, wanted to explain the scene, "It's all thanks to you!" ”

"Hou Ye's identity is different, and he is a good man." Guan Zhuofan didn't take credit, and replied with a smile, "Before you leave Beijing, come and see you again." ”

That said, there's still something to be delivered. Zhaoxiang was very happy, and when he saw his second brother Guixiang running out of the door, he pulled him over and introduced Guan Zhuofan.

"Second Master Gui, I'm glad to be there." Guan Zhuofan politely greeted a few words, then said goodbye and got on the horse, and led the team to leave Fang's homeland. On the way, I couldn't help but wonder: these two brothers are both obscene, but how can they have two sisters who are beautiful and fragrant? I don't know if it's a father's ......

With this disrespectful thought in his heart, he galloped to the staff department of the military department set up on the street of the military department, paid the military order, and then gave the order to disband, made an appointment for the assembly, and let the dozen or so officers and soldiers under his command go back to their respective homes happily. I took Tulin with me, first went to the incense and candle shop to buy something, and then crossed half of the capital and returned to Wicker Hutong.

It's already dinner time, and the smell of cooking smoke wafts from every house. This is the second time Guan Zhuofan has "returned home", compared to the last time he lost his soul, it is really a difference between heaven and earth. The last time was in the old house in Shoubi Hutong, before knocking on the door, I was uneasy, thinking about whether I had a daughter-in-law. When I returned this time, I was full of ambition, and I was worried about the smiling Bai family, and the closer I got to home, the stronger this feeling became.

The one who opened the door was a servant named Zhang Shun, who was taken aback when he saw Guan Zhuofan, and then hurriedly said goodbye: "Young master, you are back!" ”

"Hmm." Guan Zhuofan agreed, took Tulin into the second courtyard, and happened to see Tubo walking out of the wing.

Tubo was also stunned when he saw the two military attachés in bright uniforms, and then he saw clearly, the five-grade military attache in front of him was Guan Zhuofan, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted "Young Master", only to see the one standing behind him, who turned out to be his son Tulin.

"Dog's ......" Tuber rubbed his eyes with his hand, as if he couldn't believe it, "You look like a dog too?" ”

Dog's day? Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, it's not appropriate for the old man to scold his son with this sentence, right? was laughing, but saw Tuber trembling and touching Thurin's clothes, tears rolling down his eyes. The heart said that it was not good, and before he could hurriedly persuade him, Tubo pulled his son's arm and already let out a loud voice: "Hey, hey, our Tu family, there is also a ...... who has become an official" turned around, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Guan Zhuofan, while knocking, crying: "Young master...... Young Master......"

And it's no wonder that Tuber lost his temper. It has become a routine for the family to be a slave for several generations, and now the son has followed Guan Zhuofan, and he has become an official in just a few months. Although it is only nine grades, it is also a court officer who is like a fake, which is something that I can't think of in the original. As soon as Dad knelt, Túrin naturally had to kneel down with him, and his face was red on the side, and he couldn't persuade him.

Guan Zhuofan was also a little sad, picked up the old man, and said, "Tubo, it's a happy event for us to come back!" It's not good luck for you to cry like this again. ”

This statement is valid. Tuber was the most convinced of this, and when he heard this, he not only immediately shut down, but also scolded himself: "I'm so old and confused, young master, don't be weird......

"Hehe, you're about happy and confused." Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "I'll make it clear to you - the official of Túrin, he earned it with a knife and a gun, and it has nothing to do with me." But he has a chance, let's be happy for him, that's how it should be. ”

Tuber's cry alarmed the maids and mothers who were busy in the main courtyard next door, and they crowded at the courtyard gate to look this way. I thought something was wrong, but when I saw that it was Guan Zhuofan who had gone home, he hurriedly got out of the way and asked for peace. Guan Zhuofan nodded, and when he walked through them, a maid peeked to see this young master who had not lived at home for a few days.

All the way through the main courtyard, as soon as she walked into the crescent moon gate of the inner courtyard, she saw Bai Shi walking out of the main house in the middle - she heard the movement in the courtyard, came out to take a look, and never thought about it, but she saw Guan Zhuofan, standing at the gate of the courtyard in military uniform, staring at herself. Unprepared, he couldn't help but froze, almost suspecting that he was in a dream.

The so-called "dwelling and migrating qi, nourishing and migrating the body", no matter how good it is. Guan Zhuofan saw that Bai was wearing a set of crescent white jackets, with a royal blue dress of tweed underneath, and the silver mink scarf that Guan Zhuofan bought for her around her neck. What remains unchanged is the cream-like skin, which is lined with several red plums blooming in the courtyard, making it even more jade and white.

Guan Zhuofan is stupid - if she is placed in the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Palace, she can't be overwhelmed if she doesn't believe it!

"Sister-in-law," the two of them stood for a while, and it was Guan Zhuofan who spoke, "I'm back." ”

"You...... You're back. Bai Shi woke up in shock, smiled apologetically for his gaffe, and changed from a beautiful woman who pressed Mei Shengxue back to the gentle and lovely sister-in-law, "Look at you, you didn't know it in advance, it scared me." ”

There is a small gap between such a meeting and the scene expected in Guan Zhuofan's heart.

What about haode throwing hugs?
