Chapter 721: Homecoming
Li Rong replied: "Because my father has outstanding military exploits, he is now transferred to the capital, joins the cabinet, and manages all military affairs of the Zhou Dynasty together with several generals."
Village Chief Li staggered when he heard this, "So Yuan Qingchengge is old?"
Li Rong nodded and replied: "Yes, my father is now the youngest Pavilion Elder. By the way, there is also Mr. Gu."
Village Chief Li clapped his hands on his thighs, his voice trembling with excitement, "Oh my God, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves of our old Li family!"
"Last year I went back to my hometown and moved my ancestor's grave here, and Yuan Qing was promoted. This is the blessing of my ancestor. I have to prepare things for the grave."
"When your parents come back, we will take the clan members and kowtow to our ancestors and burn paper incense."
After saying this, Village Chief Li hurriedly walked to the village. This was a great event for the village and an honor for the old Li family.
Seeing Village Chief Li's happy look, Li Rong smiled, "No wonder everyone likes to return home in fine clothes. It feels really good."
Li Li shook her head, "As the saying goes, you never return home after you become famous, just like walking in brocade clothes at night, no one knows about it."
"Your Majesty specifically allowed Third Uncle and Mr. Gu to return home in glorious attire. You are a favor. Let your subjects feel the glory brought by returning home in honours. They will serve Your Majesty even more when they return to Beijing."
Li Rong was convinced, "It's true."
Li Fang was very pleased to hear that her sister was so articulate and could express such insights.
With this knowledge and the ability to talk it out clearly, it would be a good match for him to marry Gu Jin, who was born as a Jinshi in the future.
Although my mother missed my sister very much after being separated for three years, it was all worth it.
Back home, Ms. Liu was thinking about what to have for lunch when she suddenly heard a servant running and shouting.
"Madam, Miss Ali, Miss Ah Rong is back!"
When Ms. Liu heard this, she stood up quickly, but because she stood up so fast and violently, she felt a little dizzy.
Mrs. Liu quickly stabilized her figure and walked quickly towards the door.
Li Li and Li Rong also walked in quickly. After seeing the bull market, they also rushed over and hugged them tightly.
Mrs. Liu was also very happy to see her daughter and Ah Rong, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Arong and Ali have grown up and are taller than me. They look so good."
Li Li was choked and speechless. She kept holding her mother's arm and threw herself into her arms.
Li Rong comforted her: "Sister Ali, please stop crying. Although you are crying with joy, Auntie Xiaohua will be even more sad because you cry."
When Li Li heard this, she wiped her tears and said, "Mom, I have missed you all these years!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and quickly wiped away her tears, "You will follow your Aunt Liu and your third uncle, and you will also have An Rong and Dabao by your side. They can take care of you. Although I really miss you, I am relieved.
"
"I feel relieved when I see that you appear tall and graceful, like a girl from a wealthy family."
Li Fang saw them talking and crying in the yard, and reminded her in a low voice: "Mom, the sun is so bright outside, let's go inside quickly."
Mrs. Liu nodded quickly and saw that Ah Rong and Li Li's skin had become darker, "You girls, why don't you take good care of your skin? Are you riding horses outside all day without wearing a power fence, so you are all tanned!"
Li Rong smiled and said, "That's how it is over there in the north. We're not too dark."
Li Li pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, the climate there is drier, the wind and sand are strong, and the light is stronger."
"When you come back, I will spend more time with you at home. Your skin will slowly turn white if you don't get exposed to the sun."
Thinking of her daughter's age and Gu Jin's, Ms. Liu smiled and said, "She should be raised, you are not young anymore. When your Aunt Liu and Third Uncle come back, I will discuss with them how to keep you and Gu Jin
The wedding is done."
Li Rong also nodded in agreement, "Mom thinks so too. Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu, and her family are all back."
Ms. Liu was very happy.
After Li Dabao entered the town, he greeted everyone.
People in the village recognized Li Dabao and said, "Oh, Lord Dabao is back!"
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
"Salute to the Marquis!"
…
Everyone was greeting Li Dabao along the way.
Li Dabao also cupped his hands and responded enthusiastically to everyone.
Li Dabao laughed and said, "Hello everyone, hello fellow villagers."
Along the way, everyone who knew Li Dabao gave him something.
"My plum blossom cakes are delicious. Mr. Hou will take them home to eat."
"My chicken cake is delicious, please eat some, Lord Marquis."
"My wontons are delicious. Mr. Hou used to like them very much. Come have a bowl!"
…
Li Dabao didn't want it, but after these people wrapped it up, they stuffed it into Li Dabao's body.
So enthusiastic.
Li Dabao couldn't refuse and couldn't even tell who gave it to him.
Want to pay but don’t know how?
So Li Dabao thought for a moment and said loudly to everyone: "My parents and I have returned home in fine clothes. Thank you all the elders for your care. From now on, this month's stall fee is free!"
When everyone heard this, they were even more happy and thanked the Marquis one after another.
The town has had a two-year tax holiday, which has attracted many merchants and vendors to set up stalls in the town.
Originally there was only one street, but now it has become four cross streets.
Whether you open a shop or set up a stall, there are stall fees and taxes.
Although the ratio is relatively low, there are more and more stores, so they can collect a lot of money every day.
Now that there is no stall fee for a month, for ordinary people who set up stalls, they can save a lot of money in a month!
When Li Dabao came home, he had too many things with him, so he picked out a few of the family's favorite foods and prepared the rest for the servants.
Young people in the village who used to have a good relationship with Li Dabao came to play with Li Dabao one after another. They stopped doing business and asked Li Dabao about the situation outside.
Li Dabao is approachable and approachable, and he does not become condescending to his former friends just because he became a marquis.
He talked freely with everyone, and soon got along with everyone, and became the loyal Li Dabao he was before.
Liu Pan'er and Li Yuanqing's cars arrived at Jixiang Town. When they passed the Yuci Archway, they got off the carriage, bowed and saluted, and then entered the town on foot.
Li Nan and Li Xiaobao didn't wait for their parents and quickly ran to the town to buy what they were interested in.
Liu Pan'er urged, "Follow me. I see there are a lot of people in the town. Don't get lost."
"Yes, ma'am." Several guards responded and then chased out.
Li Yuanqing chuckled, "In the town, no problem."
"Hmph, it's too late if there is a problem." Liu Pan'er insisted that there should be no negligence when it comes to children. "The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Similarly, when it is safer, it is likely to become the more dangerous."
place."
Because it is easiest to relax your vigilance when you are safe, and the danger will be approaching before you know it.
Li Yuanqing smiled, hugged Li Wei, and went shopping with Liu Pan'er.
