Chapter 3499 Extra Mr. Zhuang 15

So the banker's family left the city the next day, accompanied by relatives, friends and neighbors.

Except for Zhuang Dalang, no one thought they would come back. Didn't you see that they had packed up three carts of luggage? It was obvious that they had moved their family to the capital.

After leaving the city, the caravan waiting outside the city followed behind the dealer's luggage cart.

Zhuang Dalang opened the curtain and took a look outside, and asked Zhou Lang, "Are these medicinal materials?"

"Not entirely, maybe half and half. The other half is tea from this summer. Some tea gardens cannot sell it. After picking it, I made tea bricks for collection. Anyway, I have a car, so I took it away."

Zhuang Dalang said: "In recent years, Luojiang County has made a lot of money from growing medicinal materials and tea."

Also because of the market, Zhou Lang not only started this business himself, but also brought several merchants here. At the same time, he also encouraged people in the county to transport things out by themselves. Now both waterways and land routes are easier to travel than before. Water bandits and mountain bandits

It’s not much, even if you go out with a load, the safety is greatly improved. Although it is a bit harder, you can make a lot of money by going back and forth. After a few more years of walking, it will be enough for a young man in the family to marry a wife.

This is something that ordinary people in Luojiang County never dared to think about before.

But because grain production is now high and the court intends to redeem the land, they can still have a surplus of grain even if they cultivate less land. With more and more cattle, the labor consumed in the fields is burned, and the excess can be used to plant medicinal materials.

, tea, or even go shopping...

Zhuang Dalang is the chief accountant of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family is not only a large household in Luojiang County, but has also been the chief bookkeeper of Luojiang County, so he knows how fast the economy of Luojiang County has developed over the years.

The source of all this is the Zhou family, and the Zhou family has such a relationship with his father. Zhuang Dalang feels proud every time he thinks about it.

This was not the first time that Zhuang Dalang came to the capital, but the last time he came to the capital, he was young, and the capital at that time had just experienced war. The country was not at peace at that time, and it could not be compared with the prosperity of today.

The car hadn't entered the city yet, but when he was queuing up outside the city to enter the city, he felt something different. The gray capital in his memory suddenly became colorful.

When we entered the city, the black and gray capital that had always been in our mind slowly collapsed and disappeared, replaced by the colorful and lively streets of the capital.

Zhuang Dalang stared blankly at the busy street.

Zhou Lang happily squeezed to the door and looked at the outside world with him, "How about it? I said the capital is very good, right?"

Zhuang Dalang said nothing.

Zhou Lang patted him on the shoulder and said: "The capital is no longer the capital it was before, and the gentleman is not the gentleman it was before. Of course, you are not the Zhuang Dalang you were before."

Zhuang Dalang suddenly felt sore eyes and a sore nose. He turned his head slightly and turned his back to Zhou Lang, not letting him see the tears in his eyes.

Yes, Beijing is different.

Zhou Lang was afraid that Zhuang Dalang would feel uncomfortable, so he took the Zhuang family directly to the Princess's Mansion.

Mr. Zhuang and the others were all going to the office today, and he didn't tell them in advance, so only Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng were at home.

Seeing that Zhou Lang really picked up Zhuang Dalang and his family, they were overjoyed and hurriedly settled them into the yard next to Mr. Zhuang.

"Everything has been cleaned up. You need to settle down first. I will send someone to the palace to ask Mr. Zhuang to come back."

Zhuang Dalang said hurriedly: "No need to be busy, it won't delay father's errands."

"What kind of delay is this? It's normal for a father to take half a day off when his son arrives."

Zhuang Dalang's face turned slightly red.

Zhou Man and Bai Shan didn't know if they could invite Zhuang Dalang, so they asked Zhou Lang to go back to his hometown to pick him up without telling Mr. Zhuang.

The servants of the Bai family were waiting outside the palace gate and paid the guards to ask the palace servants to help deliver the message.

The guards and chamberlains all had a good relationship with Zhou Man, so they readily accepted the money and agreed.

Isn't it just a matter of saying "Mr. Zhuang's family is here"? It's simple!

So during the lunch break, a chamberlain walked up to Mr. Zhuang and whispered: "Mr. Zhuang, someone from your family came to report that someone is visiting your family."

Mr. Zhuang's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. His intuition was that someone wanted to transfer him out of the palace. He looked up at the young chamberlain, recognized him as someone from the East Palace, and asked, "Who came to pass the message?"

"It's a man named Liu Gui."

They pretended to be quite similar. Mr. Zhuang nodded and said he understood, but he refused to leave immediately. He decided to stay in the palace later today to see what they wanted to do privately.

As a result, before he finished his meal, Zhou Man came over excitedly and said, "Sir, I'm here to take you home. Have you asked for leave?"

Mr. Zhuang was startled, "What should I do if I ask for leave?"

"Go home," Zhou Man tilted his head in confusion, "Didn't Liu Gui ask someone to send you a message? Has senior brother come to the capital? I just met Liu Gui in the imperial city when I just returned to the palace..."

Mr. Zhuang:……

He looked up at her numbly, "Which senior brother is yours? Bai Zhi?"

He is also considered to be a senior brother who is full of respect, and he was often called that in the past.

Zhou Man: "...Of course it's Senior Brother Zhuang."

Mr. Zhuang's eyes widened in surprise. He was still in disbelief until he got on the carriage. After leaving the imperial city, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it true? Your senior brother has really come to the capital?"

"Yeah, what did I lie to you for?" Zhou Man told her fourth brother, and also praised herself, "I asked the fourth brother to go back to pick up people. Let me just say, there is no one in this world that my fourth brother can't pick up.

People who come."

Mr. Zhuang was excited, his eyes were slightly moist, and his fists clenched and loosened, and then tightened again.

When he returned to the princess's mansion and saw Zhuang Dalang standing in the courtyard, he was convinced that his son had really come to the capital.

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but smile. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes pressed together and never let go.

Zhuang Dalang saw his father and saw that he was in good spirits. The white hair on his head even showed signs of turning black. Compared with previous years, he did not look older. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Father..."

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly wet, and he stretched out his hand to support him, "Okay, was it hard on the road?"

Zhuang Dalang replied politely: "No stranger."

"That's good, that's good," Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you had lunch? Are you still used to the food here?"

"I'm used to it. What Mrs. Liu prepares is the taste of Luojiang County. It tastes very good."

Zhou Man stood aside and listened to the father and son talking, and couldn't help but become anxious, "Brother, sir, I miss you so much. I have often asked you in the past few years when you can come to Beijing to see me. So when we first moved here, we specially

The two courtyards next to where Mr. lives are vacant. I didn’t expect that the courtyard would finally be occupied by people today.”

Zhuang Dalang wanted to be more natural with Zhou Man. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

Zhuang Dalang only planned to stay for more than a month, and then go home after visiting his father, but Zhuang Sister-in-law didn't think so. However, she had just arrived, and even if she wanted to stay, she didn't have the courage to tell her husband at this time.
