Straight man of steel

Chapter 154 It's My Home

In the early morning of the next day, after Zhang Yuan woke up leisurely, he rode his horse again and continued to head towards Lantian.

From a long distance, you can see that the acres of fertile fields are covered with green.

Zhang Yuan's family is not the only one farming in Shanglin Garden, but the land is not here, but in the southwest. It is all royal land and is managed by officials from the Shaofu.

So when you come in this direction, as long as you see good fields, you must be in the place.

Three thousand acres is quite a large area, and it looks very conspicuous.

At this moment in the Zhang residence, everyone has been looking forward to it since yesterday.

Zong Xing, Li Jian, Er Dan and the others came back yesterday. When they came back, they not only brought back Zhuo Wenjun, but also brought news of Zhang Yuan.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yuan should have gone back yesterday, and there has been no news yet, making everyone worried.

"Daughter, you said that the Patriarch will have nothing to do, why hasn't there been any news at this time, why don't I ask the two nobles Wei Qing and Chu Da?"

Old Zhao seemed very worried at the moment. Although Zhuo Wenjun was also worried, she was the backbone of the family at this moment. As long as she remained calm, there would be no major problems.

"Wait for another two days. Maybe Jianzhang Jian wants to catch up with A Yuan, or there may be some unfinished business in Chang'an."

"Then wait two more days, wait two more days."

At this moment, the voices of a group of children sounded from outside.

"The Patriarch is back, the Patriarch is back!"

Zhuo Wenjun couldn't hide the excited expression on his face and hurried out of the main building, and Lao Zhao quickly followed.

Surrounded by a group of children, Zhang Yuan entered his long-lost home.

The home in front of me is different from before, basically all the pavilions have been completed.

Entering through the gate, you will see the living room with transparency on all sides. The translucent gauze curtains are fluttering with the majesty, the floor is also paved with stone slabs, and the walls are planted with Zhang Yuan's favorite bamboo.

A group of servants on the left were picking vegetables under Lao Wang's command and preparing for the noon meal. Seeing Zhang Yuan came back, Lao Wang put down the potatoes in his hand and went straight to greet him.

"Master, you are back."

The corners of a rough man's eyes were also a little moist.

"Let's go cook, make it richer at noon, so that everyone can eat well."

Zhang Yuan hated such a scene the most.

The parting and reunion between relatives is the most touching and the easiest to shed tears.

"Okay, just wait, this year, my Lao Wang's craftsmanship has improved a lot."

I only saw Lao Wang, but not Xiong Da and the others. They must have gone out to work, because there seemed to be so few men in the family.

Walking through the living room directly, it can be regarded as entering the inner courtyard.

The entire house is separated by walls. The walls are plastered to look like white paper, and then some gray-black tiles are added, which suits Zhang Yuan's taste very well.

At this moment, Zhuo Wenjun, Lao Zhao, and Zhang Yuan who came out of the main building ran into each other.

"I thought you would stay in Chang'an and never come back."

Zhuo Wenjun's tone of voice was a little angry, and Lao Zhao turned around and left immediately when he saw this situation.

"This is home, how could you not want to come back.

Why didn't I see Xiong Da and the others. "

Although he had a guess in his heart, Zhang Yuan still asked, saying that he was not worried that it was all fake.

"They took Li Jian to the farmland. You came here on horseback when you came back. It stands to reason that they would come back as soon as they saw it."

Zhang Yuan nodded and started to walk towards the main building. He rested in the field last night and didn't sleep very well.

Although the whole person is in a state of excitement now, it will be more comfortable for the brain to sit down.

"Son!"

A crisp female voice suddenly sounded behind Zhang Yuan, and before Zhang Yuan turned his head, a piece of nephrite wrapped him up.

Then there was the sound of sobbing, and Zhang Yuan's back was all wet after a while.

"Okay, how old are you, these tears are like those who don't want money.

I haven't eaten watermelon or soy milk for a year, go get some, son, I want to try it. "

At this time, there are already early-ripening watermelons in the field, and it is not too much for Zhang Yuan to make this request.

Xiaoqing bounced away, and then bounced back, but there was half a watermelon and a big pot of soy milk in her hand.

Zhang Yuan has been craving such a mouthful for a long time. First, he hugged the kettle and started filling the soy milk, and then scooped out a few spoonfuls of watermelon pulp and put it in his mouth.

It feels like a fairy.

Seeing that Zhuo Wenjun was no longer by Zhang Yuan's side, Lao Zhao walked over with the bamboo slips.

"Patriarch, this records the food and clothing expenses of the family for this year, please take a look."

Zhang Yuan leaned on the recliner and glanced at Old Zhao.asked with a smile.

"Now the family is so poor that they can't open the pot?"

Old Zhao didn't understand what Zhang Yuan meant, so he shook his head numbly.

"The granary in the house is already full, and it is not a problem for everyone to eat, and there is a surplus every year."

Looking at Lao Zhao's appearance, it seems that he has been under too much pressure this year. There is no one in charge in the family, so all the pressure falls on him.

"Since everyone can eat enough, it doesn't matter what these things do, Xiaoqing remembers to calculate everything.

As long as everyone is not extravagant and wasteful, and every money has a place, and it is used in the right place, there is no need to tell me everything.

I still like to hear you talk about some happy things that happened in the family this year. "

Old Zhao relaxed when he saw that Zhang Yuan was still the same Zhang Yuan as before.

He started to stand by and talk to Zhang Yuan about the absurd things that happened in Zhang's mansion this year.

It's all trivial things about some parents, but it can make Zhang Yuan laugh out loud from time to time.

"You said Widow Sun gave birth to a child but didn't know whose it was?"

"Yeah, I didn't ask her if she was dead or alive, but I just said that I wanted a child to take care of her, so I just found a wild man."

Zhang Yuan is no stranger to this kind of thing happening to the servants at home.

In the eyes of these women, a child is far more reliable than a man.

"Okay, tell the others to stop talking, as long as you don't bring the wild man back, don't worry about the rest.

Give that child the same household registration as other children.

By the way, when I left, I asked you to find Mr. Teacher, did you find it? "

Old Zhao's expression changed all of a sudden, obviously he didn't handle this matter well.

"Patriarch, you don't know, those who can read are all scholars, how could their nobles lower themselves to teach the children of these servants and tenant farmers."

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and thought about it for a while. He really hadn't thought about his identity.

"Then let Xiaoqing teach them how to read first, and let the eldest daughter take care of money."

"Well, you have to talk about this matter."
