While Zhao Guanghuan was secretly investigating who had revealed the information to him, he was also suppressing the King of Qin's people in the court.

Within a few days, the ministers of the King of Qin were found guilty of various mistakes and reprimanded by the emperor, making them look disgraced. King Qin was so angry that he smashed a room full of beloved porcelain.

Zhao Guangyuan just smiled when he received the news. The prince and the King of Qin were at odds with each other, but he still tried hard to maintain the appearance of brothers and sisters in front of his good father. He didn't mind letting them quarrel and make the water in the capital even more muddy.

Things were already turbulent in the dark, but it was a pity that his good father still thought the world was peaceful.

Zhao Guangyuan's mouth was sarcastic.

Thinking that he had been back to the Lin family for a few days, he was summoned to the main hall.

"Dad!" Changzhi jumped in happily.

Zhao Guangyuan looked at his little face and asked, "Are you happy at the Lin family?"

He nodded his little head repeatedly, "Happy!"

Everyone in his grandfather's family loved him, and he and his brothers, sisters and sisters also had fun. He didn't even see snow in Haishi, but when he returned to his grandfather's house, there was snow everywhere, so white that if he went deep into the snow, half of his body would be buried.

He puts himself into the thick snow every day and enjoys it. In the past few days, he, his brother, sister and friends in the village have been building snowmen and having snowball fights every day, having so much fun. His grandmother would stand at the door of her house and yell at him every day before he would come back.

Zhao Guangyuan had only seen him for a few days, and his little face was wrinkled by the wind, and his cheeks were red. He reached out and touched both sides of his little face, and then touched his little hands.

"Dad, the baby isn't cold!" He patted his body. He was wearing thick clothes and had a baby warmer inside. He wasn't cold at all. He was sweating when he got inside.

"Didn't your mother bring you a face wipe? It's useless?" The two cheeks looked like red buttocks.

"Grandma also wiped it." Changzhi lowered his head. It's just that he was so happy to be back and spent a lot of time playing outside.

How could Zhao Guangyuan not know that he was playful every day when he came back? He stared at his little head and wanted to scold him. He also thought that he was stricter with his homework this year and had no free time all day long, not even on weekends. I've been back for a few days and let myself go a little bit, so I can't help but play a little crazy.

I can't bear to blame either.

"Don't be playful. Your mother will feel bad if she freezes."

Changzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his little face with a smile, "Don't worry, dad, my child is sensible. Wear enough clothes and he won't freeze."

Zhao Guangyuan gave him a few more instructions, and thinking that there were too many restrictions on martial arts training venues in China, he took him to a wide area of ​​​​the palace and took him to practice martial arts for a while. He stopped after an hour.

He was so excited that his face turned red, and he didn't feel tired at all. He followed Zhao Guangyuan with a bounce, "Dad, it's more fun to practice martial arts at the venue here." The venue rented by dad in the community is a place for dance practice. He and his dad both Be careful, don't use it.

And there’s no horse racing there. "Dad, take your child to horse racing. My child wants to ride a horse!"

Zhao Guangyuan raised his eyebrows. Just now in the ice and snow, the child did not complain or complain of tiredness. He also spent more time and practiced for a full hour. He thought that the child had reached his limit, but he did not expect that he still had the energy to ride a horse.

Feeling relieved.

Of course when he grew up, he wanted to ride a horse. Before he recognized his mother, in his maternal grandfather’s house, whenever a noble person came to the cemetery, he and his brothers and sisters would run outside to watch the excitement. They were always envious when they saw the noble person riding a big horse with great dignity. Now, now He has a mother and a father, and his father is a prince. The prince must have a good horse.

"Dad, do you have a good horse?"

Zhao Guangyuan lowered his head and flicked his head, "No matter how desperate my father is, he still has good horses."

He stretched out his hand to press the spot where his father had touched him. He grinned, and then quickly suppressed it, "Dad, do you want to go back to the capital?" Dad seemed to be very down here, compared to his brothers in the capital. An outcast.

Dad wants to return to the capital, right? Dad also has a royal palace in the capital, which was given to him by his father.

As for the palace, I haven’t seen it for a long time. Before he recognized his father, he could only watch the palace from a distance. These places were the places of the nobles and they could not get close. I don’t know how the royal palace compares with the palace.

Zhao Guangyuan touched Changzhi's little head and said, "I will go back. One day, dad will take you back with him."

His eyes lit up, "Mom, are you coming too?"

Zhao Guangyuan paused and said firmly, "Yes, your mother is coming too, we are a family together."

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Changzhi reluctantly said goodbye to his grandfather's family and returned to Lin Zhaoxia.

Although I felt reluctant to give up, I was still very happy to see my mother. Jili Guala told my mother what had happened these days, and also showed her the photos and videos I took.

Lin Zhaoxia looked at the Lin family in the video, and saw that they had gone from being unnatural in front of the camera to being calm and calm in front of the camera, and even talking to her about their daily routines in front of the camera. She couldn't help but regret that she couldn't go over to see them, and felt very sad. It's a pity.

"Mom, look, I built this snowman, this one is dad, the smaller one is mom, and the one in the middle is the long one!"

Lin Zhaoxia looked at it with a smile, "You were using your mobile phone outside, no one saw it, right?"

"Don't worry, Mom, I only take pictures when I'm with my family. I won't take out my phone when there are outsiders." After being told repeatedly by Zhao Guangyuan, the child gradually became more cautious and behaved more methodically. .

Lin Zhaoxia was very pleased.

After Zhang Zhi came back and rested for two days, Lin Zhaoxia and Zhao Guangyuan took him out to various counties. I had originally promised to take him on trains, planes, and see the world outside when he was on vacation. Otherwise, he would not want to come back until he was playing at the Lin family.

And Zhao Guangyuan also wanted to go there to see the pearl cultivation situation. Before this, he never knew that pearls could be cultivated.

The father and son followed Lin Zhaoxia to the train station happily and expectantly.

Neither father nor son had ever taken a train. Entering the huge train station, they were a little frightened when they saw the dense flow of people.

The father and son had never seen so many people gathered in one place before, and they couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Even though Zhao Guangyuan has a stable mentality, he also has some weak points on his face. Even if I have seen the crowds during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival in the capital, they are nothing compared to this one. This huge waiting hall is so densely packed with people that it is difficult to even find a place to set foot.

"College students are on holiday, and the end of the year is approaching, and migrant workers have to go home, so there are more people. When the New Year is approaching, during the peak period of going home, not only here, but also outside are crowded with people."

Will there be more people than this in a while? The father and son were a little frightened after hearing this.

Ever since I entered the station, my little mouth has not been closed. Has he ever seen so many people?

I had never seen it in Lingcun, and I had never seen it in Haishi. Although I had seen it on TV, it was not as shocking as seeing it in person.

Changzhi was amazed that there were so many people here who were going to travel far away, while Zhao Guangyuan was impressed that there were so many people here, but they were in order, without even friction, which showed that the public security was good and the society was stable.

If we were in Daqi, as long as one hundred of the population gathered at the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate would close the city gate tightly and face each other with swords, guns, swords and halberds, for fear of causing chaos. I feel quite emotional about the orderliness here.

After the father and son had seen enough of the surging crowds, Lin Zhaoxia led them to line up to enter the station.

Instead of buying a better ticket, I bought a second-class seat specifically so that the father and son could experience the folk customs.

As expected, the various travelers in the carriage caught the eyes of the father and son. As soon as the train started to move, their eyes were locked on the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. The father and son watched intently, not wanting to move their eyes back from the outside.

Outside the scope of Haishi, the vast field scenery was displayed in front of the father and son. The two were curious about everything they looked at, and they wanted to ask about everything they saw, including the white greenhouses in the fields, the villages on the fields, and the rooftops of the houses. Why do iron rods need to be strung with round beads... I have to ask them all.

"Are those houses owned by farmers?"

Zhao Guangyuan looked in amazement. The villagers' two-, three- and four-story detached buildings stood in the wilderness. As far as the eye could see, the wealth was visible to the naked eye.

"Yes, the rural areas in Jiangnan are richer than other places."

More than just richer. This can no longer be called a farmer. Zhao Guangyuan stared out the window, marveling and thinking at the same time. The world a thousand years later has become so developed that it is unheard of and unseen. If you hadn't experienced it yourself, you wouldn't believe it.

As for his small hands, he was holding the window, and half of his body was tilted, and he never turned back.

"I'm going to feel uncomfortable soon." Lin Zhaoxia called back her son who was picking up the window.

She sat back up and looked out, "Mom, I've never seen anything like this!" After saying that, she suddenly got excited and took out her cell phone from her pocket, "I want to take pictures of these and give them to my grandfather. Grandma and the others are watching!”

He held his cell phone against the car window and took pictures. Whenever he saw anything new, interesting or delicious, he would take pictures of it, saying that he wanted to show it to his grandparents, and he enjoyed it.

Lin Zhaoxia looked at his serious face and ignored him. It was also good for him for the child to go out for a walk and gain experience.

The high-speed rail takes less than an hour and a half and reaches Zhuxian. It was so long that I felt that I had not seen enough, and my buttocks were not even hot from sitting on it. I was still a little unfinished when I got off the car. When I got off the steps, I kept looking back.

"Next time, Mom will take you to another place and sit there for a longer time so that you can see enough."

Changzhi nodded repeatedly. He liked the speed of airplanes, but he preferred to see such scenery by taking a train. "Mom, when are you going?" she asked Lin Zhaoxia impatiently.

Sure enough, what my father said is right. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. The scenery on this road is so beautiful. No wonder Dad said that literati should travel to study, that is, to travel around in order to broaden their horizons and gain knowledge.

He likes to walk around when he grows up.

Lin Zhaoxia hit him on the forehead. When he arrived, he wanted to go to another place. "Go when you have time."

Changzhi was just about to say that Changzhi was on vacation and had time, but he turned around and met his father's gaze and closed his mouth. Mom said she would go when she had time, so she would definitely take Chang Zhi there. Chang Zhi believed in Mom and was not in a hurry.

The three of them left the train station and went to the hotel they had reserved. They put down their luggage and rested for a while before going out for a walk.

Both father and son were very interested. Everything they saw was novel and they wanted to go up and take a look at things they had never seen before. Lin Zhaoxia also accompanied them and explained to them along the way.

Zhuxian is the largest freshwater pearl breeding base in the country. Shops selling pearls can be seen everywhere, with prices ranging from tens of yuan per catty to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands per pearl. The dazzling array is blinding.

Zhao Guangyuan is a swindler who has made a lot of money by buying and selling pearls in the past few months. The purpose of coming to Zhuxian County is to learn some knowledge about pearl cultivation and to buy some pearls back. Naturally, he cannot let go of this opportunity.

Lin Zhaoxia accompanied him from store to store, thinking that he would get bored when he grew up, but he didn't expect that this child was more serious about picking goods than his father.

"I want to pick out New Year gifts for my grandmother and aunts!"

Okay, the child is grateful and filial. Lin Zhaoxia was also deeply pleased and went with him to choose a few. "Use your money to grow rich!"

The kid had nowhere to spend the money he had saved. The interest he earned from investing gold in his father's house was also deposited in his own account for him. His father also followed Daqi's rules and paid him monthly money. I also have 300 yuan of pocket money every month, which is stored in my mobile wallet. Now I have the opportunity to buy and buy, which is more refreshing than Lin Zhaoxia.

Lin Zhaoxia looked at the father and son, as if they didn't take the money as money, clicked her tongue a few times, and let them go.

After walking around the city for a day and eating local delicacies, the three of them were very satisfied. The next day, we set off to visit the pearl breeding base in the next town. Nearly 70% of the country's freshwater pearls are produced there, attracting domestic and foreign merchants.

It is already winter, and the secretion of nacre is reduced at this time, but it is also the time when the color of pearls is at its best. There are many merchants coming and going in the town and it is very lively.

When the three of them arrived at the place, they saw the pearl fields on the open water, which were well-proportioned. The cold wind in winter ruffled the water and caused layers of ripples. They felt so spectacular.

There are sellers of clams everywhere. You can open clams on site for five yuan each. They come in various sizes. The big ones are as big as two adults’ palms. You can choose from a bunch of them. Whether you get pearls or not depends on your luck.

It's a bit like gambling on stones, but it's better than gambling on stones, the price is cheaper, and the probability of getting beads is high.

It was the first time for both father and son to buy clams, and they picked quite a few with great interest. After picking them up, they had someone drive them out on the spot. The father and son looked nervously at each other's hands. I don't know whether it was luck or good cultivation of clam shells, but all of them produced pearls.

They come in different sizes, including round, nearly round, teardrop-shaped, odd-shaped beads and very small millet beads.

They were the happiest when they grew up. Every time they opened one, they would see pearls pinched out from the pearl wall under the thick mussel flesh, and they would scream excitedly. Zhao Guangyuan was usually introverted, but when he opened a pearl, he also had a faint smile on his face. .

The father and son picked out a pot of clam shells, and the treasures they uncovered filled a small box as big as a palm. There are also several large beads between 6-8MM, the color is still mysterious and noble purple.

Lin Zhaoxia felt that it was the pearl market's fault that caused them to leave the market, and they made a big mistake. Seeing the high quality of the purple pearls, the clam seller wanted to spend 200 yuan each to recycle them, but neither father nor son agreed. The boss increased the price but didn't agree.

"Leave it to my mother to make jewelry."

Lin Zhaoxia was deeply moved.

The three of them spent a day at the breeding base in the town, and the next day they went to East China International Jewelry City. This jewelry city is larger than the pearl wholesale market in Haishi, and the prices are more favorable. The three of them picked a lot more inside, including beads and various pearl jewelry.

The father and son had a great time shopping, and if Lin Zhaoxia hadn't stopped them, they would have almost maxed out their account.

After staying in the counties for three days, the three of them returned to Haishi with loads of goods.

After returning to Haishi, Zhao Guangyuan returned to the palace with many goods. He also returned in time, and the people who set out from the palace had arrived in the town.
