Chapter 140: Finding Old Traces Five Years Later

Chapter 140: Looking for old traces in five years

Last year, the old willows bloomed with new branches, and the spring breeze blew the Qujiang Pond again. Chang'an did not realize it, and it was not the same day when we visited again for five years.

Zhang Zhong stood on the boat, looking around, and was not in a hurry to get off the boat. He wanted to see if there was really no change in Chang'an in the past five years. At that time, the young man was so passionate and returned with beauty. If it weren't for the turmoil of the court, Qiao'er would have been arrested long ago.

Five years have passed, and I am here again, and the passion remains the same. I want to see who dares to be cold-eyed, and who can catch Qiaoer.

A gust of wind blew, and there was still a little chill. Zhang Zhong could no longer feel it. At this moment, he felt warm in his heart. He was no longer the Zhang Zhong he used to be, no longer had to worry about not having enough money, and no longer had to live in the temple to help others do things.

Manager Wang didn't feel cold at this moment. She was already scared. It was such a big battle. This boat could not get out of the silver price of 20,000 taels. Look at the twelve luxurious cars. The marks on it represent the twelve shops, and ten of them were just ordinary.

It is not small, but it is not big, but the other two are not ordinary. The top-notch building in the west market and the deiyiju in the east market. When someone took over the New Year, they were just two slightly better restaurants. But after taking over, everything changed.

In just a few months, it became one of the best restaurants in Chang'an. The top scholar on the top floor came out, and you must be proud of yourself.

This is Zhang Zhong’s family? When did his family have such power in the capital?

Manager Wang was shocked and looked at Zhang Zhong again, he could not find the appearance of the down-and-out boy back then. When the person behind him put a thin sable on him, he was really full of energy.

At this time, Zhang Zhong, who had felt the springboard five years later, slowly walked up to the springboard with different moods, and brushed it. The people waiting on the dock extended two long bamboo poles wrapped in red silk to the boat. The people on the boat reached out to grab it, and there were small lanterns falling under the bamboo poles, like goldfish.

Two bamboo poles were just up to the waist and blocked Zhang Zhong's sides, so that he didn't have to worry about falling. Zhang Zhong walked slowly with his hands and walked down from the springboard one by one.

This scene made other people waiting on the dock look at each other. They had never seen anyone like this before, especially those two bamboo poles. Who would have thought of it? It was so amazing. It was admirable. The two silk-wrapped bamboo poles reflecting something that was definitely not ordinary.

Zhang Zhong also felt the look of others looking at him, and his eyes couldn't help but become wet. When his son came, he said, "I want my father to be in the center of thousands of people and feel the glory."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhong controlled his emotions, walked down step by step with a faint smile on his face. Except for the sound of water slapping the boat's side, there was no movement at all. Everyone was watching and guessing what the person who came down was.

"The master has come all the way, Fengchen is there, please change your clothes."

Zhang Zhong had just arrived at the dock and had not walked ten steps. The people waiting below shouted in unison.

As the shouts were heard, several smart women ran to Zhang Zhong with a tray in their hands. Then a dozen people ran around with wide cloth of red silk, surrounding Zhang Zhong. Others could no longer see Zhang Zhong surrounded.

After only a few dozen breaths, the silk curtains around him were removed, and Zhang Zhong, who had changed into purple clothes, appeared in front of everyone.

Wow! A loud noise rose, and the people watching on the dock could no longer control themselves, and exclaimed, praise the person who had changed his clothes and praise the pomp.

Zhang Zhong didn't expect that his son had arranged so many things for him. Standing there, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, with someone helping him, Erniu, who had just taken out, put the small book he had just taken into his arms, walked up to him and said:

"Master, please get in the car. Do you want to rest in East City or take a break in West City? Or have a meal in West City and rest in East City?"

"Then go to the West Market for dinner." Zhang Zhong knew that he must not be weak at this time. It was not easy for his son to make this scene. He said majesticly, and walked towards the carriage about ten feet away in front of him under the shadow of the umbrella.

Countless pairs of eyes were just looking at it. Whether it was envious or jealous, I had to admit that people did this so well. Why didn’t anyone think of it before? It was possible to get off the boat.

"Aunt Wang, what should I do? Let's go over?" The people around Manager Wang saw that someone was going to pick him up this time actually took him. He was anxious and asked Manager Wang, "He didn't want to wait for so many days in vain."

Manager Wang is in a complicated mood now. He just hoped that Zhang Zhong would help the Wang family. Then he could take revenge. However, he thought that they didn't need them at all. He had already arranged the people to greet him. Look at the convoy and look at the two cars he brought with him. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing that the person was about to get on the car, Manager Wang finally recovered and shouted to the other side: "Zhang... that son-in-law, the prince's mansion is here to greet him. The banquet has been set up in the mansion, and I'll ask the son-in-law to get on the car."

Zhang Zhong turned his head and then realized that the Wang family had come over. Seeing that the person who was leading the charge was Manager Wang, he immediately said, "You don't have to worry about such a small matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone over there put a Jindun under the car, and Zhang Zhong stepped into the car.

The person who greeted him greeted him. Before the convoy could move forward, another group of people came from the front, with more than thirty yamen runners coming over, and someone in the car shouted: "The one in front is Brother Zhang, come to you late, I'll forgive me for your crimes."

After saying this, the team was close to each other. Zhang Zhong leaned out and knew who was coming. He got out of the car and waited for the local area.

The person on the opposite side came over. As soon as he stopped, Cheng Lingxiang jumped out of the car, looking happy, and walked towards Zhang Zhong, saying, "Brother Yongcheng, I didn't expect you to come so early. Fortunately, I rushed faster, otherwise wouldn't I missed it? Come on, Brother Yongcheng, come in and prepare a reception banquet for you."

Zhang Zhong was also happy. As soon as he arrived at the place, he saw County Magistrate Cheng. Oh, now it is Cheng Zhubo, this is his own person. He also wanted to get into the car sent by his home and said to Erniu: "Brother An Ran and I will go, please wait and follow me."

"Yes." Erniu agreed happily. He thought that County Magistrate Cheng would come after a day off, but he didn't expect to come here to greet him directly. With County Magistrate Cheng here, they naturally didn't need them.

Cheng Lingxiang put on Zhang Zhong's sleeve and walked towards the car he prepared, but he ignored his own other car. The two went in one after another, and the yamen runners greeted him and the team moved forward.

The convoy prepared behind slowly followed.

It was not until the two teams had already gone a hundred or ten feet away that Manager Wang realized and rushed to chase him.

Manager Wang was anxious. If he couldn't receive someone's words today, how would he explain to others when he went back?

While rushing, she asked someone to go back to the mansion to report the news quickly and told the people in the mansion that Zhang Zhong was picked up by Master Bo, and she could not steal the person, let alone that he could not steal it, as there were many people in the house.

The early flowers have already bloomed and the grass has emerged.

In the Zhangjiazhuang, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were lying on a chair covered with thick velvets, and each of them was holding a book in their hands and watching it.

After a while, Wang Juan finished reading a page, pressed it with a bookmark, closed the book, and waited for Zhang Xiaobao. After Zhang Xiaobao also read the page, he said, "Your father should have been in the place, right? There are still many times when we come back. We will have to plow spring in a few days. What should we plant?"

"Yes, there are still some days before the exam, and we can't come back immediately after the exam. If we are sent to the outside world to become officials, we have to follow us and seek wealth. We will suffer again when we are rich. This year, we will not plant wheat, plant rice, and plant carrots after the winter wheat is harvested. It's a little later. It's nothing. If we plant it later, we will harvest it later."

Seeing that wheat is not as valuable as rice, Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to plant it anymore. He didn't plant other millets anymore. All the dry fields were converted into paddy fields, and there was no shortage of water here.

Wang Juan nodded, "I think so, just want to eat other buying points. If you want to buy some, you can still sell seeds. Now, there is no county magistrate in the county, and all the things are under the jurisdiction of Bo and the county magistrate. It is convenient to do things, but I don't know if a new county magistrate will be sent."

"What if he doesn't care. As long as the person who comes doesn't do the same as Jia Shan, take advantage of this time to do everything he should do. If my father is really out, it won't be stable here. Let's go out and take a look."

Zhang Xiaobao got off the chair, then Wang Juan walked out, and the two of them walked out.

At this time, the farmers in the village became busy. All the manure in the house had to be raised, and then they were put together with the fertilizer from the owner, scattered into the field, and then plowed. Some paddy fields were not needed to be plowed before. According to the new method told by the owner, just add some fertilizer.

The place where Shuiyunjian was not as lively as usual. The Shangshu really didn't go back. It seemed that he had handed a note to the top, stayed here all day, chatted with the merchants, and walked around, and lived a leisurely life.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were about to find him. After Zhang's father left, the two of them learned things that they only asked Zhang Wang's family. Zhang Wang knew a lot of things, but they were not suitable for Zhang Xiaobao's study.

Just so happened that the Shangshu hadn't left, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found a new teacher, went to study for a while every day, came back to review, wrote down if you don't understand, and asked again the next day.

It was almost noon, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came over and could have dinner first, and then they started learning. When the two of them came to the water clouds, the old man was fishing, and he didn't know if he could catch it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took a lighter pace and approached to watch. Even so, the old man heard the sound and turned around and said, "Why don't the fish in your restaurant eat bait?"
