The mother and son ran away.
When he woke up the next day, Li Qiao told Tao Zhu the news that Gao Zhiyuan and his wife were missing. Tao Zhu's eyes widened in shock and he sat up immediately.
"Why is it missing?"
"Maybe he is afraid that I will retaliate against him?" Li Qiao repeated the guess he told Li Dazhong yesterday.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched Tao Zhu's slender waist, and praised, "You have a really good figure."
"..."
Tao Zhu was speechless, turned over and lay on top of him, frowning and said, "Isn't that true? He just went to Tao's house to propose marriage. How could you ruin your reputation for him?"
"So he is crazy."
While Li Qiao was enjoying the comfort of skin-to-skin contact, he smiled and said: "Whatever, it has nothing to do with us anyway. If they are sick, they will be sick."
Tao Zhu: "..."
He pursed his lower lip.
He felt something was strange.
But I can't tell what's wrong.
"Stop thinking about him. If you think about me again, you will feel sour. You can only think about me." Li Qiao simply hugged him tightly and even kissed him.
"..."
Tao Zhu couldn't help laughing, who wants to miss Gao Zhiyuan?
He doesn't want to!
After the kiss ended, he stretched out his slender finger and poked Li Qiao's cheek: "Let's get up, we have to go to the ground today."
Although they were about to set off, they still wanted to go to the fields. It was the wealth that he and Li Qiao had saved little by little. If they didn't see it this time, it would be difficult to see it next time.
"good."
Li Qiao thought of how Tao Zhu had turned over the Tian deed countless times every day, and couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed him hard on the lips twice before pulling him to get up.
Go to the fields to watch the wheat harvest.
Arrange everything.
Time flew by quickly, and soon the day of departure came.
The Han family's caravan, which was fully loaded on the carriage when it came back, was still full now, but this time the carriage was filled with luggage.
Many relatives and friends shed tears again.
This time Li Qiao and Tao Zhu left. If they wanted to meet, they would have to go to the capital to find them.
Even for the Chinese New Year, the two of them couldn't come back because the holiday was too short and the road back home was too long.
Li Qiao's eyes were red as he looked at a group of people crying so hard.
He calls Sanliu Village his home.
"Brother, third sister, if you miss us in the future, you can take the Han family's caravan to the capital. It's very convenient." He could only comfort him like this.
"Yes, when we have established a foothold, we will buy fields in the capital. Then we will pick you up. If you want to farm, you can farm. If you don't want to farm, you can take care of the family business."
Tao Zhu also spoke with red eyes.
"Sure!" Li Liang sniffed and nodded firmly.
Although he has not yet decided whether he will go to the capital in the future, he must buy the fields. Xiaoqiao specifically told him that if he sees any good fields in the future, he will buy them.
The fields are great, and the landowner can guarantee the harvest despite droughts and floods. There is nothing happier than the landowner - when you are an official, you have to share the worries of the emperor, but the landowner just waits to collect the rent.
The Li family, headed by Li Liang, and the Zhuang family, headed by Zhuang Fengshou, plus some fellow villagers, came to the adobe brick road from the county seat to Fucheng.
But after a long journey, there is a farewell. Amid the tears of everyone, Li Qiao, Taozhu and the Zhuang family embarked on the road to Shengjing.
In addition to Xiao Qiu, the Shen family also has the eldest brother Shen Hua. The Shen family did not expect that Shen Hua would not be able to come back after he went to the capital. Draw support.
In addition to Zhuang Wen, the banker also has Zhuang Wen's wife, Zhuang Quan, Zhou Yun and his wife, and the manor. In fact, Li Ping wanted Zhuang Wen to bring her son Zhuang Fang with him. After all, Zhuang Fang had been living in the county to study with Zhuang Wen.
But the road to Shengjing was too far and she couldn't bear it, so the Zhuang family only brought people from Zhuang Wen's lineage.
In addition to the eldest brother of the Meng family, the Meng family also has a sister-in-law.
Prices in Shengjing are high, and now Meng Yue is not only in debt, but also lives in a rented house, so the Meng family does not bring many people with them.
After arriving in Fucheng, the group visited Ming Zhifu and Xing Xuezheng.
Jiangzhi County was promoted to a high position and went to a prefecture adjacent to Shengjing in Jibei Province to become the magistrate.
Originally, County Magistrate Jiang received the salary of a fifth-rank official. Everyone thought that he would be promoted to a fifth-rank official. But who knew that after being transferred, he would actually be a fourth-rank magistrate, and his land was close to Shengjing. This was perfect. It means high promotion and a bright future.
However, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Saying goodbye to Magistrate Ming and Xing Xuezheng, the group set out on the road to Shengjing.
Zheng Qianqian was very excited when he left Hexi Prefecture for the first time. However, the scenery on both sides of the official road was similar to that of Pingcheng. Even after leaving Yuanhe Province and arriving in Jibei Province, the farmland and scenery on both sides of the road remained the same.
Zheng Qianqian sighed: "It feels like I never left home."
Li Dashan was driving the bullock cart and couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "That's not good. We will definitely get used to living in the capital when we get there. When my parents come in the future, they won't be uncomfortable."
"Yes, very good." Zheng Qianqian nodded to avoid being acclimatized.
When the group arrived in Shengjing, it was already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and summer was almost over.
When he entered the city, he saw a watermelon seller on the roadside, so Li Qiao bought a few sacks.
If he were still in Sanliu Village, there would be no need for him to buy watermelons. He would not be able to finish what he grew in his own field.
You have to buy a field. You don’t have to open a duck shop, but you have to buy a field.
The yard that Li Qiao and Taozhu rented before was not returned and was taken care of by the Han family.
However, the luggage of the twenty carriages of the Han family's caravan needed to be put into the newly purchased house, so the group divided into two groups. Zhuang Wen took the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Meng family and the eldest brother of the Shen family to rent the house first. Over there in the yard, Li Qiao took people to the new house.
The new house is a courtyard with three entrances. It is 80% new and not very spacious, but everything inside is exquisite.
It has blue bricks, gray tiles, and a black painted gate. The gate tower is higher than the large courtyard in Sanliu Village.
The yard is clean and planted with flowers, plants and trees.
After unloading all the luggage in the house, Li Qiao and his gang went to the rented yard.
The rented apartment has a second-entry courtyard, but it can still be accommodated in a crowded place.
Li Ershan and Li Xia still live in the backyard. Li Dashan, Zheng Qianqian and Li Xiaorui's family of three live in the front yard, and the oxcart is also placed in the front yard.
Next door, Shen Hua has already met his eldest brother - although he and Xu Ying have also bought a house, he has not moved in yet because he wants to know as soon as possible whether Tao Zhu has returned.
Shen Hua really missed Tao Zhu. He didn't know anyone here in the capital, and Xu Ying had already gone to work at the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was almost stupid because he stayed in the yard drawing pictures every day.
It had been almost four months since Tao Zhu left. He really missed Tao Zhu so much.
Now that Tao Zhu is not only back, he has also brought Zheng Qianqian with him. He is very happy because he finally has another acquaintance!
A group of people had a lively dinner and moved in the next day.
Not only Li Qiao had to move, but Shen Hua and Xu Ying also had to move.
The house Shen Hua and Xu Ying bought was not far from Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's house, both in the north of the city. The house they bought was also a three-in house.
In fact, with the financial resources of the Xu family, not to mention the third or fifth income, they can afford it.
But Xu Ying had established a written document and lived in the Shen family after getting married, so Shen Hua bought the new house with money.
The Shen family was considered wealthy in Pingcheng, but in the capital, they could only be described as rich peasants. Therefore, the two of them only bought a house with three rooms, and the house was smaller than the one Li Qiao Taozhu bought.
This made the Xu family extremely angry.
The imperial examination Miao Miao who had finally been raised by their family actually ran away to the Shen family, but they did not dare to glare at Shen Hua like before, because the Royal Cloth Shop had opened, the business was good, and the Emperor assigned Shen Hua another task , let Shen Hua make winter clothes.
Although Shen Hua does not have an official position now, he has official errands, and they dare not do anything to Shen Hua.
After moving, adding items, cleaning, and waiting for Li Qiao Taozhu and others to officially move into their new home, it was already three days later.
At this time, Li Qiao's vacation balance was only five days.
Zhuang Wen is still looking for a house. He didn't find a suitable one before leaving Beijing. After leaving Beijing, he also asked the Han family to look at it, but he was not satisfied with everything he saw.
Zhuang Wen didn't have much left during his vacation, so Li Qiao advised him to have a good rest first and live in a rented house temporarily.
The house doesn't matter, what matters is that you can go to work at the Ministry of Works in high spirits.
Li Qiao's words made sense, so Zhuang Wen temporarily stopped thinking about buying a house. Running all the way was really going to wear out his old bones. He really needed to take a good rest.
Li Qiao was young and did not feel tired. After moving to a new home, he took Tao Zhu, Li Dashan, Zheng Qianqian and Li Xiaorui to go shopping in the capital all day long.
After he went to work at the Hanlin Academy, he could only have one day off every seven days of work. He wanted to take advantage of this time to let Tao Zhu and Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian get to know Shengjing better.
Five days passed by in a hurry.
Li Qiao's vacation is over and it's time to go to work at the Hanlin Academy.

The author has something to say:
It's okay if Gao Zhiyuan runs away. Don't worry, kids. He will remind Li Qiao in the future. The main theme of this article is to be relaxed and non-violent!
Chapter 113 The first day on duty as an official in the Hanlin Academy
The Hanlin Academy was located in the inner city. As a reserve for officials, it was relatively close to the palace among the offices.
The head of the Hanlin Academy is a Hanlin bachelor, who holds a fifth-grade official position. The person currently holding this official position is Du Guqin, the number one scholar in the 31st year of Kai'an.
Du Guqin also came from a farm family. He is in his early forties, unsmiling and somewhat serious.
When Li Qiao went to the Hanlin Academy to report for work, Du Guqin went through the formalities and approved the leave for him. Li Qiao's impression of him was that he talked little. As for whether he would get along well, he would have to wait until he got there.
In Dasheng, there is an early morning court every two days, and only fifth-rank officials can go to court.
There is a dynasty on the tenth day. During the dynasty, all officials of seventh grade or above must go to court.
