Undecided, Li Qiao simply summoned all the Li family members and asked them to choose by themselves.

This trip to Beijing means that once you go there, you will spend your whole life, and the possibility of returning is very small. Being far away from your homeland is a difficult choice for those who have strong thoughts about relocating.

Therefore, Li Qiao specially emphasized that everything is voluntary, even if no one is willing to go in the end, because now he and Tao Zhu have no shortage of money, and they can be rich for a lifetime just relying on Pingcheng's family business.

Opening a duck workshop is more about finding a job for Tao Zhu, and making money is secondary.

After returning to Beijing this time, he and Tao Zhu will find Ren Yazi to buy a few servants, so don't worry that he and Tao Zhu will be left alone, you must think carefully and don't be impulsive.

While everyone was thinking about it, the county magistrate of Pingcheng sent a greeting card to Li Qiao, wanting to come and visit Li Qiao.

When he went to the capital, Li Qiao was just a child.

Now that he is back, the county magistrate of Pingcheng has to hand him a greeting card.

Xinzhi County's surname is Fang, and he is a serious old man in his fifties. When Li Qiao returned to Pingcheng, he passed by Fucheng. He and Zhuang Wen went to visit Mingzhifu.

According to the words of Mingzhifu, Fangzhi County is not as capable as Jiangzhi County, and he has no ambitions, but he will not rush the people, and he can seriously complete the tasks he has given.

You can't innovate, but you can keep it.

The bustle of Pingcheng, which has just become rich for a few years, can be kept if there are no accidents when Fang Zhixian is in office.

Li Qiao felt very good.

The people in Pingcheng are all involved in the vermicelli business, and they are busy with vermicelli for half a year. Under such circumstances, they have no energy to start new businesses.

It is enough for Fangzhi County to keep this wealth.

Fangzhi County respects Li Qiao very much. Although Li Qiao is young, he is already a sixth-rank Beijing official with a bright future, and Li Qiao has contributed half of his efforts to the foundation of Pingcheng.

The magistrates of Fangzhi county were subordinated one by one, and Li Qiao didn't take Qiao. Although he was an official in the capital, Fangzhi county was the official of his hometown. The people in Sanliu Village depended more on the magistrate of Fangzhi county if they wanted to live a comfortable life. .

The meeting between the two parties was very pleasant. After Fang Zhixian left, Bai Jiaoyu Shen Xuezheng, the magistrate of Zhengxian County, and several other officials who had no official positions also came to visit Li Qiao.

Bai Jiaoyu knew that Li Qiao wanted to take Li's family to the capital, so he approached Baiyou, and wanted Baiyou to follow Li Qiao into Beijing.

White pomelo would not do it.

He and Li Dazhong lived in harmony and happiness, why did he go to the capital?

Besides, what Li Qiao Taozhu wanted was someone who could start making ducks, and he didn't know how to make ducks, so what would he do.

However, thinking of Shen Hua's permanent residence in the capital, he couldn't help but miss him.

It is too difficult to meet again in the future.

Zheng Qianqian discussed with Li Dashan for two days, and held Li Xiaorui, Li Liang Wang Guihua, and Zheng Butcher for two days, and then took advantage of lunch time to speak seriously to Li Qiao Taozhu at the dinner table.

The young couple are willing to bring Li Xiaorui to Beijing with Li Ershan and Li Xia.

Isn't Li Qiao worried that Tao Zhu has nothing to do? Coincidentally, he and Tao Zhu had the best time.

Moreover, for Li Xiaorui's sake, he must get closer to his uncle.

"Brother Qian, you and Dashan have decided?" Li Qiao was a little surprised.

He and Tao Zhu naturally wanted to bring Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian to Beijing, but Li Xiaorui was too young to travel long distances.

"It's decided." Zheng Qianqian's face was full of seriousness.

Li Dashan also said: "I discussed it with my parents and Qianqian's parents, and they all agreed." "

This..."

Li Qiao went to ask Li Liang Wang Osmanthus after dinner, confirmed that Li Liang Wang Osmanthus had no objection, and then I went to ask Butcher Zheng.

Butcher Zheng laughed: "Other people in our village are looking forward to following you to the capital. Of course, our own family must rush ahead of the villagers." We can't let

other villagers want to go to Beijing, but our family backs away.

When Li Qiao heard this, she also smiled, "That's right."

So the matter was settled.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu had already bought a three-entry house in the north of Shengjing City. The north of the outer city was originally the place where small officials and wealthy businessmen lived, and the environment was not bad. In the courtyard, when the official edict came down, the two immediately handed over the money.

The courtyard with three entrances is enough to accommodate Zheng Qianqian, Li Dashan, and Li Xiaorui's family of three.

As for the other Li family members, it won't be too late when he and Tao Zhu gain a firm foothold in the capital, change their big house, and start a big business.

Once you've decided on a good candidate, it's time to start.

The imperial court gave four months of leave, and it took three months on the road, and the remaining month, spent half a month in Pingcheng, after entering Beijing, to rest and buy some household items, then go to the Imperial Academy to work up.

However, Li Qiao still misses Gao Zhiyuan.

Before going to Beijing to rush for the exam, he specially told Li Dazhong to secretly inquire about Gao Zhiyuan's news.

Li Dazhong and him are cousins ​​in the same household, and they seem to have married into Baiyou's big yard. It is more appropriate for Li Dazhong to inquire about this matter secretly.

Taking some time off, Li Qiao took Tao Zhu to Baiyou's house.

It was evening when the two arrived, and Baiyou and Li Dazhong were sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air.

Baiyou planted a pomegranate tree in the yard, and the pomegranate tree grew luxuriantly. He sat on the rocking chair under the pomegranate tree, holding a cattail fan in his hand, and fanned it once and for all.

Li Dazhong was sitting next to him, peeling cherries for him.

He didn't like to eat cherry peels, so Li Dazhong peeled one and gave him one.

Seeing Li Qiao and Tao Zhu appearing at the door, he groaned and stood up with a smile: "Come in quickly, the cherries that have just been iced are cool, come and have a taste." "Okay." Tao Zhu was not polite

. .

After entering the yard, he grabbed a chair and sat beside Baiyou.

The cherries had just been washed, and there were still drops of water on them. Tao Zhu pinched one and put it in his mouth. The cold touch immediately occupied the entire mouth. He couldn't help shivering, it was so cold!

The white pomelo looked funny: "Is it that cold?"

"I don't often eat ice." Tao Zhu put the cherry in his mouth, intending to eat it after warming it up. Although he didn't plan to have children these two years, he has been eating Keep healthy, he won't eat anything that is too cold.

He went to see Baiyou and saw that there was still a little cherry juice hanging from the corner of Baiyou's mouth. He raised his eyebrows and pointed to the main room behind him: "Let's go to the room?" Baiyou nodded with a smile: "Okay.

"

So the two got up and entered the hall.

Li Qiao looked at Tao Zhu's figure, clicked his tongue, then moved the chair under his buttocks to Li Dazhong's side.

In the main room, Tao Zhu looked Baiyou up and down, and asked: "You lived such a happy childhood, why haven't you conceived a child yet?"

Baiyou was immediately happy when she heard that, "Maybe the fate has not come."

He He didn't use contraceptives either, and Li Dazhong worked very hard, often tossing him so that his back hurts, but after so long, his stomach still hasn't moved.

"Then go see a doctor and take care of yourself on weekdays. You still have to have your own children, so that Brother Dazhong can get closer to you.

" The two children left behind by Han Xiaoyan were very strict when they should be strict, and now those two children who have been educated by him will obediently call me Daddy when they see me, and they don't dare to torment me like before." "Besides, he sees

me It's like a hungry wolf seeing meat, wishing to eat me every day, and being obedient to me." "

When I decided to marry him, I never dreamed that I would have the life I have now."

Bai Yuzu couldn't help laughing.

He was gambling at the time, and what he was looking for was just an ordinary life for an ordinary couple. Li Dazhong was a rough man, but who knew that he would love others so much.

Tao Zhu saw that the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger, and even turned red, so he couldn't help but click his tongue: "Every time I see you, you are overjoyed, it's good." Seeing this, Baiyou smiled again for a

while , and then pointed to his stomach: "When will you and Li Qiao have a baby?"

"I also depend on fate." Tao Zhu smiled as he spoke, "It's okay to have a baby at any time, even if you really don't have a baby, that's okay." become."

"Li Qiao is a good man."

Baiyou couldn't help sighing, she didn't forget her husband who worked hard together when she became rich.

And as a man, he doesn't care about children! However, when he thought of Shen Hua, he was a little worried: " Is Xu Ying

really good at treating Brother Hua?"

With one touch, he will immediately become as loving as Li Qiao."

"Now Brother Hua is very powerful, and he is the chief designer of the Royal Cloth House."

Tao Zhu told the chief designer what he heard from Li Qiao's mouth. The teacher told Baiyou to reassure Baiyou.

At the end he said again: "You can go to the capital to visit us in the future."

Baiyou hummed heavily: "Okay."

He didn't want to leave his hometown, but he also wanted to go to the big city for a while. After the painting settled down, he also went to the capital to buy a house.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu had dinner at Baiyou's house before going back, and when they got home, they washed up and went to sleep. After going to bed, Tao Zhu asked Li Qiao: " What did Brother Dazhong tell

you?"

It's not just him wandering around, but his mother also often wanders, as if she wants to live on the mountain, people in our village have accidentally seen their mother and daughter many times." Li Qiao went to pick up

Tao Zhu's just put on. The short-sleeved side said.

"...Huh?"

Tao Zhu let him move, but he was really confused: "What is he doing?"

"That's why he's crazy, maybe he's sick."

Li Qiao cleaned him up a few times, then fell on the bamboo mat with him in his arms, and kissed Tao Zhu's lips: "Leave him alone, we're busy. It's business." After the

familiar kiss fell, Tao Zhu's attention was quickly diverted, he really didn't care about Gao Zhiyuan, if Li Qiao didn't mention it from time to time, he would have almost forgotten about him.

As for Li Qiao himself.

He was sure that Gao Zhiyuan was looking for something.

But Gao Zhiyuan, a scholar from a farm family, why did he go to the mountains to look for things? Did you get any news that there is a treasure on the mountain?

If it was news brought by traders from other places, then why did only Gao Zhiyuan and his wife go wandering around the mountain?

unusual.

Inevitably, words such as time travel and rebirth popped up in Li Qiao's mind.

But crossing should be impossible.

As far as Gao Zhiyuan's arrogant, arrogant and stupid appearance so far has accomplished nothing, he is not a time traveler no matter how you look at it.

If it's not time-traveling, then it's rebirth?

If it was rebirth, Gao Zhiyuan went to Tao's house to propose marriage, and after Tao Zhu expressed his desire to marry him, he had to struggle a bit and forced him to make a move. He has such a deep obsession with Tao Zhu... Could it be that Tao Zhu is

capable The thing that made Gao Zhiyuan soar into the sky?

But what is on Tao Zhu's body, he knows best.

Although Tao Zhuren is kind and good-looking, he is just a little brother after all, unable to leave Sanliu Village.

If it wasn't Tao Zhu's ability, then it could only be Tao Zhu's opportunity.

Without him, apart from being lucky, Tao Zhu would not have any chance to change his fate.

Therefore, Gao Zhiyuan should have his eye on Tao Zhu's opportunity.

But Tao Zhu married him, and Gao Zhiyuan couldn't get the opportunity of Tao Zhu, so the couple planned to grab the opportunity?

...

If this is the case, it can explain why Gao Zhiyuan's mother and son have been wandering around the nearby mountain.

pity.

It's a bit late to figure this out.

When it was over, Li Qiao carried Tao Zhu to the shower room to take a bath, and returned to the bed after taking a shower. Tao Zhu was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes.

Seeing this, he swallowed back the words on his lips.

Forget it, let's talk to Brother Zhu tomorrow, so that Brother Zhu won't be able to sleep after talking tonight.

Because, after the news of his high school champion came back, Gao Zhiyuan and his wife disappeared.

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 had disappeared. Tao Zhu's eyes widened in shock, and he sat up in a jiffy.

"Why did it disappear?"

"Maybe he was afraid that I would retaliate against him?" Li Qiao repeated the guess that he told Li Dazhong yesterday.

As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch Tao Zhu's slender waist, and boasted, "The figure is really good." "

..."

Tao Zhu was speechless, turned over and lay on top of him, frowning: "Isn't it? He just went to Tao's house to propose a marriage, how could you ruin your reputation for him." "That's why he's crazy.

"

While enjoying the comfort of the skin-to-skin, Li Qiao smiled and said, "Whatever, it has nothing to do with us anyway, if the two of them get sick, they'll get sick."

Tao Zhu: "..."

He pursed his lower lip.

He thought it was weird.

But I can't tell where it is.

"Don't think about him. If you think about me again, your heart will be sore. You can only think about me." Li Qiao simply hugged him tightly and kissed him.

"..."

Tao Zhu couldn't help laughing, who would want Gao Zhiyuan?

He doesn't want to!

After the kiss was over, he stretched out his slender fingers and poked Li Qiao's cheek: "Let's get up, we have to go to the field today." Although they were going to leave soon, they still wanted to go to the field, and that was the relationship between

him and Qiao. Li Qiao has accumulated little by little the family fortune, if you don't look at it this time, it will be difficult to look at it next time.

"Okay."

Li Qiao remembered how Tao Zhu had turned over the Tian Qi countless times every day, and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed him twice on the lips, and then pulled him out of bed.

Go down to see the wheat harvest.

Arrange things.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of departure.

When they came back, the carriage was full of the Han family caravan, and it is still full now, but this time the carriage was filled with luggage.

Many relatives and friends wiped away tears again.

This time Li Qiao and Tao Zhu left, if they wanted to meet, they had to go to the capital to find them.

Even if it's Chinese New Year, the two can't come back, because the holiday is too short and the road back home is too long.

Li Qiao looked at a group of people who were crying so hard that their eyes were red.

He regards Sanliu Village as his home.

"Big Brother, Third Sister, if you miss us in the future, you can go to the capital in the car of the Han family caravan, which is very convenient." He could only comfort in this way.

"Yes, when we gain a firm foothold, we will buy fields in the capital and pick you up when the time comes. If you want to farm, you can farm, and if you don't want to farm, you can take care of the family business." Tao Zhu also said with red eyes

.

"Success!" Li Liang sniffed and nodded fiercely.

Although he hasn't decided whether he wants to go to the capital in the future, he must buy the land, and Xiaoqiao specifically told him that as long as he sees a good field in the future, he will buy it.

The fields are so good, the landowners keep their harvest in droughts and floods, and there is nothing happier than being a landowner - being an official has to share the worries of the emperor, but the landowners just wait to collect the rent.

The Li family headed by Li Liang, the Zhuang family headed by Zhuang Fengshou, and some folks all the way to the adobe road from the county town to Fucheng.

But to send you a thousand miles away, there will be a farewell. In the tears of everyone, Liqiao Taozhu and the Zhuang family embarked on the road to Shengjing.

In addition to Xiaoqiu, the Shen family also had elder brother Shen Hua. The Shen family did not expect that Shen Hua would not be able to come back once he went to the capital, and the Xu family was watching closely, so elder brother Shen Hua went to Beijing to have a look at Shen Hua, so that Shen Hua could not return. Draw back.

In addition to Zhuang Wen, the Zhuang family also had 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 town to study with Zhuang Wen.

But it was too far to go to Shengjing Road, and she was reluctant, so the dealer only brought people from Zhuang Wen's line.

In addition to the eldest brother of the Meng family, the Meng family also has a sister-in-law of the Meng family.

Prices in Shengjing are high, and now Meng Yue is not only in debt, but also rents a house, so the Meng family does not bring too many people.

When they arrived in Fucheng, the group visited Mingzhifu and Xing Xuezheng again.

The magistrate of Jiang County was promoted and went to a prefecture adjacent to Shengjing in Jibei Province to become the magistrate.

Originally, the magistrate of Jiang County 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 the transfer order, he was actually a fourth-rank magistrate, and the place of office was close to Shengjing. It is a high promotion with a bright future.

However, we don't know when we will meet again.

After bidding farewell to Mingzhifu and Xing Xuezheng, the group embarked on the road to Shengjing.

Zheng Qianqian was very excited when he left Hexi Mansion for the first time. However, the scenery on both sides of the official road was similar to that of Pingcheng.

Zheng Qianqian said with emotion: "It feels like I haven't left home."

Li Dashan was driving the ox cart and couldn't help laughing: "That's not very good, we will definitely get used to living in the capital. When parents come in the future, It won't make you uncomfortable."

"Yes, very good." Zheng Qianqian nodded, so as not to be uncomfortable.

It was already the eighth month of the lunar calendar when the group arrived in Shengjing, and summer was almost over.

When entering the city, Li Qiao saw a watermelon seller on the side of the road and bought a few sacks.

If he was still in Sanliu Village, he wouldn't need to buy watermelons, he couldn't eat all the watermelons grown in his own field.

It is necessary to buy land, and the duck workshop does not need to open, but the land must be bought.

The yard that Li Qiaotaozhu rented before was not returned, and the Han family took care of it.

However, the luggage of the 20 carriages of the Han family caravan needs to be placed in the newly bought house, so the group of people is divided into two groups, and Zhuang Wen takes the Meng family elder sister-in-law and the Shen family elder brother to rent first. The courtyard, while Li Qiao took people to the new house.

The new house is a courtyard with three entrances, it is probably new, not spacious, but everything inside is exquisite.

Green bricks, gray tiles, black painted gate, the gate tower is higher than the big courtyard in Sanliu Village.

The yard is clean, with flowers and trees planted.

After unloading all the luggage in the house here, Li Qiao and his gang went to the rented yard.

What I rent is a two-entry yard, but it can be accommodated even if it is crowded.

Li Ershan and Li Xia still lived in the backyard, while Li Dashan, Zheng Qianqian, and Li Xiaorui's family lived in the front yard, and the ox cart was also placed in the front yard.

Shen Hua next door has already met his elder brother - although he and Xu Ying also bought a house, he hasn't moved yet because he wants to know immediately whether Tao Zhu is back or not.

Shen Hua really misses Tao Zhu, he doesn't know anyone here in the capital, Xu Ying has already gone to work in the household department, he is almost stupid for staying in the yard every day drawing pictures.

It has been almost four months since Tao Zhu left, and he really misses Tao Zhu so much.

Now Tao Zhu not only came back, but also brought Zheng Qianqian. He is very happy, and finally has another acquaintance!

A group of people had a lively dinner, and the next day was moving.

Not only Li Qiao moved, but also Shen Hua and Xu Ying.

The houses that Shen Hua and Xu Ying bought were not far from Li Qiao Tao Zhu's house, they were both in the north of the city, and they also bought a Sanjin house.

In fact, in terms of the financial resources of the Xu family, not to mention the third, even the fifth can afford it.

But Xu Ying had established a document at the beginning, and lived in Shen's house 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 considered rich peasants, so the two only bought a house with three entrances, and this house was smaller than the one bought by Li Qiao Taozhu.

This made the Xu family very angry.

The imperial examination Miao Miao, who was raised by the family with great difficulty, ran away to Shen's house, but they did not dare to point and stare at Shen Hua like before, because the Royal Cloth Shop opened and the business was good, and the Holy One assigned Shen Hua another task , Ask Shen Hua to make winter clothes.

Although Shen Hua has no official position now, but he has official errands, they dare not do anything to Shen Hua.

After moving, adding things, cleaning, and waiting for Li Qiao Taozhu to officially move into the new home with people, it was already three days later.

At this time, Li Qiao's vacation balance was only five days.

Zhuang Wen was still looking for a house. He didn't find a suitable one before leaving Beijing. After leaving Beijing, he asked the Han family to look at it, but he was not very satisfied with the places he looked at.

Zhuang Wen didn't have a lot of vacation balance, so Li Qiao advised him to take a good rest first, or live in a rented house temporarily.

The house does not matter, the important thing is to go to work in the Ministry of Industry full of energy.

Li Qiao's words made sense, so Zhuang Wen took a break from buying a house for a while, and running all the way would really exhaust his old bones, and he really needed to take a good rest.

Li Qiao is young and doesn't 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 in the Imperial Academy, he had to take one day off every seven days. He wanted to take advantage of this time to let Tao Zhu, 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 in the Imperial Academy.

The author has something to say:

Gao Zhiyuan is fine if he runs away, don't worry, you guys, he will remind Li Qiao in the future, the main theme of this article is to be relaxed and non-abuse!
