Golden autumn October.
The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus blows from the shore, and the boats on the river come and go, forming two distinct fleets that can be seen at a glance.
Although there is a railway track leading directly to Shanghai County, there is only one railway track and the transportation capacity is limited. The role of ships cannot be completely replaced.
In a lucky boat, Han Fuli was reading a book while his wife sat aside and took care of their son and daughter.
The two children played for a while.
The daughter suddenly ran to Han Fuli's legs, put her two chubby hands on his knees, and asked in a sweet voice, "Dad, can I see grandpa this time?"
Han Fuli smiled faintly, put down the book in his hand, stretched out his hand and lightly scratched his daughter's chubby cheek, and said with a smile: "Grandpa is at home, we are going home, of course you will see grandpa. "
"Oh, I can see grandpa..." The child was easily satisfied. Just a word from Han Fuli made her jump for joy, and ran over to ask her mother again.
For several years in Qiongzhou, although Han Fuli and his wife were able to endure the hardships, he felt that such an environment was unfair to his children.
The rise of maritime trade has brought great development to Qiongzhou. Compared with more than ten years ago, Qiongzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes. The life of the locals is also due to sea trade. Not only can they buy all kinds of novel goods from the capital, but also Western specialties often come here.
For ordinary people, the prosperity of Qiongzhou can fully satisfy any of their dreams.
But these two children are the grandsons of the Duke of Zhenguo. The place where they should live is not Qiongzhou, but the Imperial Capital, the most prosperous place in the world.
"Dong dong dong..." Just as the family was enjoying themselves, there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Han Fuli raised his head and asked casually.
"The capital is coming soon. Please tidy up in advance so as not to waste your time." The boatman's voice sounded outside.
"Thank you, we'll take care of it now." Han Fuli stood up with a heartfelt smile on his face.
When the two children heard that they were arriving in the capital soon, they jumped up happily and ran around in the cabin.
On the contrary, when Han Fuli's wife heard this, not only did she not show any joy, but she stood up very nervously, rubbing her clothes with her hands, looking embarrassed.
Han Fuli stepped forward and hugged her shoulders, comforting her softly: "Don't worry, your parents will like you."
The wife raised her head with a wry smile, looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, and said in a harsh voice: "Dad, he is the famous Duke of the country, and my mother is the princess of the dynasty. They...will they really like me?" ?”
Han Fuli couldn't help but sigh deeply when he saw his wife's worried look. He held her shoulders with both hands and said seriously: "Don't worry, I'm still here."
After hearing this, his wife felt slightly relieved and pressed her face against Han Fuli's chest, looking for a safe haven.
Han Fuli also wrapped his arms around her and hugged his wife tightly, enjoying the rare warmth at this moment.
...
Han Fuli, carrying his luggage and his wife and children, had just walked to the street.
When my wife saw the huge front of Zhen Guogong Mansion in the middle of the street, her feet felt as if they were filled with lead blocks and she couldn't walk at all.
Han Fuli noticed something strange about his wife and asked with concern: "What's wrong? We're just ahead, let's hurry up."
His wife looked at Han Fuli pitifully and meowed: "Husband..."
Uncle Han Wu went out as a routine today to check the status of the guards. As soon as he walked to the door, he was greeted by the guards.
"Uncle Wu, you are in good spirits today."
Uncle Han smiled and nodded in response, "Thank you for guarding me day and night, for your hard work..."
As he spoke, he handed over a paper envelope in his hand.
The guard took it with his hands with a smile on his face, put it under his nose and took a deep breath.
His eyes lit up and he guessed, "Yeah! This is braised pork. Thank you Uncle Wu."
"Hahaha, your nose is really amazing, you can smell everything." Uncle Wu smiled and pointed his finger at the guard.
Not only did the guard not mind, but he smiled and joked: "To be honest with Uncle Wu, my nose has been sharper than that of a dog since I was a kid. There is nothing I can't smell."
As he spoke, the guard sniffed quickly and looked behind Uncle Han Wu, his eyes as bright as the sun.
Uncle Wu stopped being secretive and took out the things directly. He sighed with a smile: "It really can't be hidden from your nose. Take it. You have worked hard all night. Drink some wine to relieve your fatigue. But remember, Qian Don’t get drunk.”
"Thank you, Uncle Five." The guard thanked him first, and hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "The wine in the mansion is better than the immortal drunk at the seafood restaurant, but Uncle Five, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I won't delay anything important! "
If you pair fragrant marinade with good wine, even the gods won’t change it! Of course the guards were happy.
Uncle Wu waved his hand with a smile and asked the guard to go down with the things. His eyes subconsciously glanced at the street.
Suddenly a familiar figure appeared in his eyes, this... this is...
As if he couldn't believe what he saw, Uncle Wu quickly rubbed his eyes and looked again.
"...Second Young Master?"
But if it is really the second young master, then who is around him?
Before he could think clearly, Uncle Wu subconsciously walked up to confirm whether he had seen it wrong.
The guard who had just taken back the fragrant marinade and fine wine and was turning back to invite Uncle Wu to join him saw Uncle Wu walking towards the street at a glance. I was subconsciously surprised, and then quickly followed him.
"Second Young Master?"
While Han Fuli was still persuading his wife, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.
Han Fuli straightened up and slowly turned around. When he saw the confused Fifth Uncle, he smiled at him and said, "Fifth Uncle, I'm back."
"Second Young Master! Is it really you? Are you really back?" Uncle Wu hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed Han Fuli's body with his skinny hands.
It seemed that otherwise, he couldn't believe it was true.
Han Fuli let his fifth uncle's hand fall on him, sighed, and replied with a smile: "It's me, I'm really back."
After Uncle Wu confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Han Fuli, he burst into tears and couldn't help but nodded heavily, took a deep breath and sighed: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back... Both the father-in-law and the princess miss you." Very, let’s go home quickly.”
"Have your parents been in good health these past few years?" When Han Fuli heard his fifth uncle mentioning his parents, his expression suddenly became heavy, revealing a look of helplessness.
"Okay, everything is okay. Now that you are back, I don't know how happy my uncle and your highness will be." Uncle Wu cried with joy, wiping the tears on his face and nodding continuously.
Seeing Han Fuli's body
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.) The evasive woman and two timid children behind her, although they already had a guess in their hearts, still asked hesitantly: "Second Young Master, what is this?"
"Oh..." Han Fuli pointed directly at his wife without covering up, "This is my wife and two children,"
"A native of Qiongzhou?" Uncle Wu looked into Han Fuli's eyes and continued to ask.
Han Fuli smiled and shook his head vigorously, "No, she is also Han, but her ancestors made mistakes and were exiled to Qiongzhou."
When the wife saw such a direct question about her origins, she felt entangled in her heart for no reason.
Fortunately, Han Fuli spoke up to save her, "Come on, come here and see Fifth Uncle. This is the housekeeper of the house. Even dad needs to be called Fifth Uncle."
The wife bit her lip, bravely stood up from behind Han Fuli, bowed politely, and said, "Han Huang has met the fifth uncle."
"Second Young Madam, you are so polite. It should be this old slave who salutes you." After finishing speaking with a smile, Fifth Uncle straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to Mr. Huang: "Old slave, I pay my respects to Second Young Madam."
Huang was shocked when she saw it. She didn't know where to put her hands and looked at Han Fuli with a pleading look on her face.
???????????????Han Fuli quickly stretched out his hand to help his fifth uncle up, and said with a smile: "We are all one family, so my fifth uncle does not need such a big gift."
】
Fifth Uncle slowly straightened up with the help of Han Fuli, and replied with a smile: "There is a difference between master and servant, what you want, what you want!"
Then the fifth uncle said quickly: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, please hurry up and let's go home."
The guard who had been behind Uncle Wu saw it and quickly stood up and took it, smiling and saying, "Second Young Master, please give me the thing."
Han Fuli was not polite. Although he had been away from home for many years and no longer recognized the guard in front of him, he still handed his luggage to him with confidence.
He smiled and nodded: "Okay."
...Han Du and An Qing were both relaxing in the garden. Just as they were about to walk back, they saw a maid running over in a hurry.
Before the maid could speak, Han Du asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Go back to me, the second young master is back."
An Qing was startled and said in surprise: "What did you say? Fu Li is back?"
The maid nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Han Du seemed a little calm about this, but he was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal. Now that Zhu Yunye has ordered Han Kezhong and Han Fuli to be transferred back to the capital, the time should be almost up.
Now that I heard the news about Fu Li's return, it was within Han Du's expectation.
However, An Qing was not as calm as Han Du. Her face was full of surprise and she immediately left Han Du and the maid and ran outside.
After running a few steps, he stopped abruptly, turned around, and asked the maid loudly: "Where is Fu Li?"
"Ah?" The maid was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Go back to your highness, Princess..."
Unexpectedly, An Qing came back, grabbed the maid's wrist, and said hurriedly: "Stop talking, just take me there."
"Yes." The maid had no choice but to nod quickly and lead the princess there.
Han Du looked at Anqing's turbulent state and couldn't help but yelled: "Run slower and be careful of sprained feet. Don't wait until the second child comes back and you will be bedridden."
This sentence was extremely lethal, and it immediately stopped Anqing's hurried steps. She had to be patient and proceed cautiously.
