Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Sometimes I feel that naughty children of two or three years old are like little devils, but sometimes I feel that caring children are cute. Yang Ruoxi likes Fang Jia very much, this child is a villain.

A group of customers bought pastries just now, but there are not so many people in the shop now.

At this time, the servant from the Fangfu came over, sweating profusely, panting and said: "Ma'am, there are guests from my hometown."

Lu's eyes were full of surprise, so she turned her head and asked seriously: "Guests from my hometown? Who are they?"

This young man only knew of five people, all of whom were young men, ranging in age from fifteen to twenty-five. After hearing this, Mrs. Lu was not in a hurry, she already knew who they were.

To be honest, because of his personality, Lu's relatives in his hometown don't get along very well. Of course, this refers to the relatives of his husband's family, such as sister-in-law, aunt, and cousins. Of course, this is just a verbal dispute between women, and she will not vent her anger on the younger generation. These five young people, the youngest is a nephew, the oldest is a cousin, and the middle is a cousin. It is reckoned that they came to Chang'an to find Opportunity to become an official.

"Third lady, I have guests at home, so I'll take my leave first." Mrs. Lu quickly picked up her son and said, "Fang Jia, say goodbye to Auntie, we have guests at home, we have to go back to entertain guests."

Fang Jia tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded her head, put out her hand and put it in the palm of Auntie's: "Auntie, I'll visit you at your house tomorrow."

Yang Ruoxi smiled, made a gesture of agreement with him, put the oil paper bag on the table in his hand, and nodded: "Okay, then Auntie will be waiting for you, Jiaer."

Holding the oil paper bag in both hands, the little guy smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie." Then he waved on his mother's shoulder, and after Lu Shi and Yang Ruoxi said goodbye, they went to their carriage.

Next, Yang Ruoxi packed some pastries from the pastry shop. The pastries cannot be stored for a long time, so the pastries that have passed two days are either processed by myself, or given to beggars nearby, and then went to the embroidery room for a tour , ask the shopkeeper and the embroiderer about the situation in the past few days, did the guests mention any favorite patterns, and the shops in the Prince's Mansion. Originally, Yang Ruoxi wanted to increase her own property, but she would be separated soon. Lack of skills, so she didn't have time, and the business owned by the Prince's Mansion involves all walks of life, so she temporarily stopped thinking about opening a new store.

"Master, this servant has been thinking about a problem recently." Liu He's very serious expression attracted both Yang Ruoxi and Yang Ruomei to look at her. Ying'er is now learning from Liu He, trying to become the most versatile maid around the master, and will not let anyone people take her place.

Yang Ruoxi also asked seriously: "Tell me."

Liu He took a deep breath and said, "Master, the store we own doesn't actually belong to the master now. I don't think it's very good. We should have our own store, so..."

She lowered her voice, "In this way, even if His Majesty takes back the shop, or something happens to His Royal Highness, the master will not be at the end of his rope."

Yang Ruoxi was a little distracted all of a sudden, why didn't she think about what Liu He was thinking about?It's just that she didn't think it was necessary, because she would definitely marry him, and the two of them would always be together.

Liu He clenched her lips and blinked: "Master, I'm not trying to drive a wedge between you and His Highness the Crown Prince, but I simply think, what if? If His Highness the Crown Prince is unreliable in the future, the Master will not lose everything."

Generally, people have a dowry when they marry their daughters, and those aristocrats from aristocratic families have prepared their dowry since they were young. This is a very rich dowry. This is the confidence that the woman can stand on the man's side, but the master does not have it, and the master has nothing.

Yang Ruomei was thoughtful, Yinger was also thinking, Yang Ruoxi smiled lightly: "I know what you mean, don't worry, we will have our own property."

"Liu He is right. What others have is not as good as what you have." Yang Ruomei said seriously with a sullen face. She is already 11 years old, and it seems that she is going to prepare for her dowry.

The dowry cannot be relied on by the aunt. They all know how much money is in the mansion, so you still have to be good at it. Think about it, when she gets married in the future, if a man wants to overwhelm her, then she will cut off his food. See how arrogant he can be!

Yang Ruomei's expression was agitated and excited, and Yang Ruoxi couldn't help but wonder what was this girl thinking about?

After returning home, Yang Ruoxi, Liu He, and Lu Qian worked together to calculate the property they were in charge of now. It did not belong to them, so she could not get a lot of money if she did the accounting alone. Just like the shopkeeper, every month There is a monthly salary, but it is a bit more than the average shopkeeper, and then Yang Ruoxi is thinking about her own property.

"Master, we have 1000 taels." Liu He was very excited. This is their own private property. She has already calculated in her mind, how many things can she do?

There was also a smile on Lu Qian's face, and she said: "My lady, I remember that there is a porcelain shop that can't continue to open and is about to close. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that I heard from the boss that he still has a porcelain kiln under his command, and he can produce porcelain by himself." , let’s take over, we can produce it ourselves, the master’s paintings are so good, it’s definitely better to use them on porcelain.”

"Is there such a good thing?" Yang Ruoxi was completely aroused, and asked quickly: "When did it happen? Has the shop been sold?"

Lu Qian shook her head: "Probably not, that shop is located on Yunyang Street, and the master also knows that there are all porcelain shops on that street, and they are all from the same industry. Basically, they would not be interested in taking over a closed porcelain shop. If you want to take over, the asking price is also very low, the boss will not agree."

"But..." Lu Qian hesitated for a moment, Liu He rolled her eyes and said, "But what? The biggest porcelain shop on Yunyang Street belongs to His Royal Highness, are you afraid that we will fight His Highness?"

Yang Ruoxi couldn't help laughing. In the past few months, Liu He has become more and more courageous, even daring to face His Highness the Crown Prince!

It's getting late today, and we can only wait for tomorrow to take a look at the porcelain shop, but because Yang Ruoxi promised Fang Jia to wait for him to come to her house, so Liu He and Lu Qian went to the porcelain shop to have a look first. Condition.

Now it was getting bright early, before Si time, the Fang Mansion sent Fang Jia to the Yang Mansion, but Lu did not follow, and sent two people, a servant and a maid, but this servant was not like that. The boy, he looks extremely burly, and looks particularly powerful. Maybe this is why Lu Shi rest assured that his son will come out to play alone?

At about two o'clock, Lu Qian came back and said that she and Liu He had seen the shop. The shop was not big, only about [-] square meters, and the entire street of Yunyang Street was full of porcelain shops. The corner, the location is not good, and the quality of all kinds of porcelain displayed in the shop is good, but it is not as beautiful as the porcelain displayed in other shops. In short, every piece of porcelain in this shop is very old-fashioned. No one bought it.

"Miss, the store is fine. We will decorate it ourselves. The windows will be bright and clean, so that customers will feel that the environment is good. However, the porcelain kiln is not in the city. It is in the suburbs. The boss said that we will go with him to see the porcelain kiln for ourselves. It is not far away. , it takes an hour to go back and forth.”

Yang Ruoxi shifted her gaze to Fang Jia. The child was playing with toys. He was playing Lubansuo and Tangram puzzles very enthusiastically by himself. When you go to the suburbs, are you going to play with your aunt, or will your aunt take you home?"

Her voice is soothing and soft. Although this child is only two years old, he can understand what adults say. Of course, he can't speak too fast. If the tone is slower, he can understand.

"Go out to play with auntie." Fang Jia immediately got up from the ground, but he glanced at the maidservant at the door and the servant girl, and the maidservant curtseyed immediately: "Third lady, my lady has ordered that Mr. and Mrs. It's okay for you to be together, Shi Tie and I will follow."

That would be all right. Shi Tie and the coachman rode the horses outside, and the maid sat with them. When the carriage reached Yunyang Street, Liu He explained to the owner of the porcelain shop, and the boss immediately got into his own carriage. Yang Ruoxi and their car followed behind.

Fang Jia lay on the side of the window, Pu fanned her bright eyes and looked outside, glanced outside, then turned to look at Auntie, her small mouth kept saying: "Auntie, Huahua."

The pagoda tree is planted on both sides of this street. The pagoda tree blooms in this season, and the curling white flowers are all over the branches, and there is a light scent of flowers in the air.

"This is Sophora japonica, you can eat Sophora japonica, next time Auntie asks the kitchen to make Sophora japonica cake."

"Milk cake, flower cake." Fang Jia took a deep breath and immediately made everyone in the carriage laugh. Seeing everyone laughing, he laughed even more happily.

Along the way, I explained the [-] whys I saw to curious children. After more than half an hour, I arrived at the foot of a hillside. This is the nearest mountain village to Chang’an City. The mountain is not high enough to be imposing. It is a village with about a few hundred people, and this villa belongs to the shop owner.

Now that the shop owner's business can't continue, he plans to sell the property and return to his hometown for retirement.

When I was young, I wanted to venture out, and when I was old, I wanted to return to my roots. This is the case of the shop owner. His son died unexpectedly, leaving only one grandson. The daughter-in-law remarried. So I planned to educate my grandson well while he was still young, but they were old and lacked energy, so they couldn't take care of the business of the store, so they planned to sell the property and return to their hometown. They were just a small merchant in Chang'an City, but when they returned In their hometown, they are famous people.

This shop in Bieyuan and Yunyang Street is the owner's entire net worth. During the war, he was bold and skillful, and bought it from the previous head of the household at a low price. During the war, the head of the household was afraid of being affected and had time It was urgent, so the price was not expensive, so he picked up a bargain.There are more than a dozen servants in Bieyuan. Apart from planting crops, they also burn porcelain. Over the past few years, their skills are not as good as those in Jingdezhen, but they are absolutely proficient.

Yang Ruoxi is not dissatisfied with this, but the price of the shop owner is not cheap. When he bought this villa, he only paid 50 taels, and the shop on Yunyang Street cost 200 taels. At the current market price, the value of this villa is about 1000 taels, and the appreciation of that shop is not so scary, it is only between 200 taels and 200 taels. I am afraid that other buyers will wait until there are not so many people to buy, and the shop owner will automatically reduce the price. Buy at the right price.

After bargaining, the shop owner knew what he was thinking, and missed this opportunity. He was afraid that no one would offer such a high price again, so he finally settled the deal at 800 taels.

The next thing is easy to handle, signed the contract, paid the deposit, and then both parties went to the yamen to change the land deed and house deed, of course it was late today, Liu He and the shop owner made an appointment to go to the yamen together at Sishi tomorrow to go through the formalities.

The two carriages were returning to the city at Shen Shi, and Yang Ruoxi first wanted to send Fang Jia, the little guy who was reluctant to leave, back to Fang's family. The carriage passed through the streets with people coming and going, and heard many people talking about the front line.

In the carriage, Yang Ruoxi listened carefully, and there was a glimmer of joy in her eyes. So, he is coming back!

"Master, does this mean that His Highness the Crown Prince is coming back?" Liu He rolled his eyes, and the good news came from the front. Three areas in the southeast, this is something that deserves everyone's applause.

Lu Qian did not express her opinion. She was selected by His Royal Highness from the palace to serve the master. Although she is the master's maidservant, she is inherently close to His Royal Highness.

Fang Jia tilted her head, fanned her black grape-like eyes, and asked curiously, "Auntie, who wants to come back? Do I know you? Can we be friends?"

Yang Ruoxi couldn't help laughing, Liu He, Lu Qian, and the maid who took care of Fang Jia today couldn't help laughing either.

"Of course, I think this uncle will like Jia'er very much." She patted the little guy's furry head, and said, "Does Jia'er still remember the younger brother from yesterday?"

Fang Jia nodded heavily, held her little head in her hands and thought for a while and said: "The empress won't let me go to the palace to see my brother, she said that my brother can't be disturbed when he sleeps."

Yang Ruoxi smiled, and explained to the little guy: "Yes, my brother is still young and can only sleep. When he grows up, he will be able to play with Jiaer and let his uncle play with you."

For some reason, she believed from the bottom of her heart that the prince would like these two children.

When the carriage came to the door of the house, the maid held the child and lifted the curtain, and handed the child to the burly boy named Shi Tie who didn't look like a boy, and the gatekeeper of the house immediately opened the door when he saw the two.

"Auntie, goodbye, brother and I look at you!" The little guy leaned on Shi Tie's shoulder, waved goodbye to Yang Ruoxi, and Yang Ruoxi waved back to her, then Lu Qian put down the curtain, and the coachman turned around and returned to Yang's mansion .

I haven't seen my son for a day, Lu Shi was so excited, hugging his son and not letting go, Fang Xuanling looked helplessly at the son who disliked him, and learned about today's son's itinerary from the maid and Shi Tie, and the lunch in the other garden , I played like a little monkey in Bieyuan for a whole noon, this kid is full of energy.

The next day, Liu He and Lu Qian followed the store owner to go through the formalities of changing the house deed and the land deed. There are very few books on the skills of firing porcelain, and every famous method of firing porcelain is kept secret, and everyone hides it for fear that others will learn the skills and then starve themselves.

And the news about the return of the crown prince and the Tang army's class teacher gradually became more and more enthusiastic. From the nobles to the street refugees in Chang'an City, everyone was discussing it. It seemed that if they didn't discuss this matter, they would be out of date.

As June approaches, the weather starts to get hotter, and people's hearts are also floating.

Or are some people afraid of being settled by Qiuhou?Or would you like to know how Emperor Tang will react when facing a prince who is more famous and popular than him?

Tang Huang, the youngest son of King Qin/mansion, bestowed the supreme honor and favor, and indirectly gave hope to King Qin. Tang Huang looked at his grandson, could it be possible that he could pass the throne directly to his grandson without going through his son?So Tang Huang might pass the throne to his grandson's father first in order to pass it on to his grandson?

In ten days, the closed porcelain shop on Yunyang Street changed its name and reopened. Now the shop is called Zhi Ya Zhai. After the redecoration, the shop area has not increased, but the overall space gives people a feeling of larger space. Feeling, and it looks eye-catching, and it feels comfortable when you walk in.

But the only thing is that all kinds of porcelain don't look good. This is the problem that Yang Ruoxi is trying to solve. She can draw many beautiful and interesting patterns, but she can't solve the technical problems. Everything is useless.

However, the craftsman is very research spirit, and is researching and firing according to the effect she wants to achieve, but this is not a day's work, so it takes time.

However, for all kinds of porcelain that don't need such complicated patterns, with the theme of simplicity and elegance, the craftsmen slowly fired a batch, and it will take another ten days for new products to be released.

As for the Tang army on the front line, Li Xie returned to Chang'an with a team of troops after arranging everything. Along with him were Xiao Xian, Lin Shihong, and Feng An, three recruited coaches. Of course, after the inspection by Li Xie, the main generals under their command also went to Beijing to receive the inspection and reward from Emperor Tang. These generals could not be knighted, but they could still obtain the rank of generals of the third and fourth ranks.

Chang'an has already become lively. Unlike the court officials, Li Xuanba and Li Zhiyun are looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that their eldest brother will come back soon. They can't stand their father who has many ideas. The two brothers are deeply curious, why the eldest brother could So easy to convince my father, but they can't?

The alarm bell rang in Li Shimin's heart, the eldest brother came back, and came back to snatch his son from him!

The son is less than three months old now, and he can't recognize people at all. If he has milk, he is his mother. Of course, he is much closer to his mother than to him. He can tell the difference between his mother, but he can't tell his father. During this period of time, I was busy with government affairs during the day, and I only had time to accompany my son at night, and most of the time my son slept soundly at night, and sometimes my son would not see him for a whole day.

Back at King Qin's mansion, Li Shimin's footsteps were heavy, but he still changed out of his heavy official uniform and put on his regular uniform. When he came to the main courtyard, he saw his wife hugging his son, and the mother and son were having fun.

Today was lucky, he came back from get off work early, and his son was awake.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Changsun Wuyou couldn't help laughing in his heart. Even if the elder brother is coming back, there is no need to face the enemy like this, right?

"Wuyou, give me a hug." Li Shimin reached out and picked up his son, and the eldest grandson Wuyou quickly instructed him how to hold the child so that the child would not feel uncomfortable.

This time the child showed his father a lot of face. After being picked up by his father, Hei Liang's little eyes opened wide, and he spit bubbles from his mouth: "Yiya~" he waved his little hand vigorously.

"Son, you see that Dad treats you so well, you can't betray him!" Li Shimin muttered, and the eldest grandson Wuyou listened to him for a day, and suddenly he felt a little speechless.

But what should come will always come. Five days later, the south gate of Chang'an City was opened wide, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city gate from noon. It was more serious than before.

Of course the Emperor Tang did not come, but Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Zhiyun led half of the court officials and waited at the gate of the city. They had been waiting since noon, and an hour and a half passed, and the army was almost here.

The uniform footsteps of most of the army gradually came from a distance, the sound of horseshoes and cart wheels mixed together, and the ground trembled like a mountain torrent breaking an embankment and roaring down.

Li Xie, Li Yuanji, Li Jing, Yu Chigong and others were all riding tall horses. The horseshoes stopped in front of the crowd, and everyone bowed their heads deeply.

"Your Majesty, please see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Xie jumped off his horse, and the generals behind him gave a military salute after dismounting.

Glancing at everyone, Li Xie said in a deep voice, "Pingshen!" The voice didn't seem to be loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

As his words fell, everyone stood up one after another, Li Xie took a few steps forward, and patted Li Shimin on the shoulder: "Erlang, I haven't seen you for more than a month, your face is full of red, and you look so good!"

Li Xiexin thought that Li Shimin was very satisfied with his eldest son, but he thought of other problems, and while holding Li Shimin's hand, he took his pulse.

This guy's health is not very good, but it is better than he thought. It seems that he should not be interested in looking for women recently, so it seems that abstinence is really good for him to maintain his health, and he will urge him to take care of his health in the future.

Li Shimin looked at the expression of the elder brother, and when he heard the elder brother's words, he immediately made up the implication of the elder brother's words, and immediately said with a fake smile: "It's still good, thanks to the elder brother."

"We brothers don't need to see outsiders." Li Xie laughed, and then looked at Li Xuanba and Li Zhiyun, two guys who hadn't been weaned much, their excited expressions did not surprise Li Xie.

Li Xuanba couldn't bear it long ago, but he still endured until now, excitedly said: "Brother, you are finally back!"

Li Zhiyun next to him nodded again and again, Li Xie raised his eyebrows, and before he said anything, Li Yuanji couldn't help it anymore, with great strength, he directly hugged Li Shimin and Li Xuanba with both hands!

"Second brother, third brother, are you happy to see Gao?"

Li Shimin had some dark lines, Li Xuanba was purely happy, he and his brother could play together.

The three brothers had played enough, Li Yuanji picked up Li Zhiyun, stared wide-eyed and said: "Fifth brother, have you not eaten? You are too thin, even thinner than other young ladies."

Li Zhiyun's black face trembled and he said, "Fourth brother, don't think that you are strong, I can't beat you..."

"Haha, fifth brother, so you are so self-aware!" Li Yuanji nodded before he finished speaking, and immediately made Li Zhiyun so angry!

Li Xie coughed: "Okay, stop messing around." Then he talked to the ministers one by one, and then a group of people went to the palace. As for the army, they were placed in the camp in the suburbs.
