Tang Jian was not alone along the way. In addition to his servants and the servants arranged by the court, Ma Wang and his family also transported a large amount of tea to him and left Changle County with him.

This year, this batch of tea was transported from the south to Changle County. On the transportation route, there was also controversy among these people.

Some people advocated that after arriving at Tongguan, they took the road north and followed the cement road from Chang'an City to Dinghu County that the imperial court had previously paved, and went back to their hometown in Lishi first. Their businesses are very familiar with this road, and they can rest and have some rest when they arrive in Lishi County.

Starting from Lishi County again, through Mengmen Pass and then from the concrete road paved by Luo family disciples in the north to Liangzhou City. I heard that I walked on that road, as long as I was from Lishi County, the people of the villages and towns along the way were quite enthusiastic. In addition, they had several Luo family disciples here this time, and there were those people there, and their caravan didn't even have to pay the toll.

Moreover, the toll checkpoints on the north road are much less than the one on the south road, and the charges are much lighter. I heard that many small vendors prefer to take that road.

However, although the road to the north is cheap, it is still a little farther. This batch of tea is transported from all over the south. It is already very difficult. There is a long way to go before. No one wants to add that many distances in vain.

Both the heads of the Ma Wang family were more inclined to follow the south road. Just then, they heard that Tang Jian was going to Changle County, so they came to ask if they could be with each other. Tang Jian was very easy to talk to and agreed immediately, so the two groups of them walked to the same place.

Although tea is light goods, it is still carried and it is not fast on the road. Tang Jian is not in a hurry. It has been so far this way that his old bones are not as good as when he was young. So he should just walk slowly.

In late summer and early autumn, there is little rain, which is a good time for merchants to transport goods. The post road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou has newly paved with cement roads. The road is wide and flat, and there is a station 30 miles away. The people on both sides of the post road are not sparse.

Sometimes I can encounter some rural weeds, and from time to time I encounter some caravans or postmen on the road, as well as some nearby villagers, some riding donkeys, some running horses, driving chariots, and some walking with their shoulders on their backs...

"Heng Erlang, you are not waiting for a good Chang'an City, why do you want to go to the bitter and cold place of Changle County?"

That afternoon, after the hours when the sun was the biggest in the day passed, Tang Jian came out of his carriage, rode on the horse's back, and walked slowly, while talking to several disciples of the Luo family.

"Everyone is worried about the master there," Heng said.

Although Luo Yong had accepted Heng Yu as his disciple, if he had been with Luo Yong for a longer period, he had to be his second son Hengzhi. Master Master and Master Master, didn't like to listen to those titles, so he asked him and other disciples to call Master.

"When you leave, can Azhi be willing to give up?"

The person who spoke was Liu Huo. Their family didn't raise many sheep now. Most of the pastures were now reclaimed by Luo's disciples and their families and cultivated them into fields and planted crops.

Liu Huo was transporting goods to Chang'an City with someone a while ago. He originally thought that when his master was not around, he, the apprentice, would do his best to help Si Niang and the others.

As a result, several disciples in Chang'an City were about to go to Changle County, so he said he would follow him no matter what. He wanted to go to Changle County early in the morning, but the road was too far away, and it was not something that one or two people could walk by.

"Why didn't you take her back to Lishi's hometown?" Everyone knew about Azhi and Hengzhi.

"Azhi doesn't want to go back to Lishi, and there is Si Niang and the others in Chang'an." Heng Zhi replied.

"I heard that Qiao Junlin's uncle lives with her?" someone said.

"Hou Zaixun's marriage is approaching," said Heng Zhi.

"Oh, I wonder which wife it is?"

"It's the daughter of Dr. Hu's family."

"It's a good marriage."

"That's right, I heard that he is a good woman with knowledge and knowledge."

"Why did I hear that their house is not peaceful?"

"Unsettlement is uneasy, women are still good."

"It's all about adults, and it has something to do with young people."

“…”

When Luo Yong was away, something happened in Chang'an City, for example, Heng Zhi and Azhi had determined their relationship, and now it is time to talk about marriage.

If nothing unexpected happens, this time when Hengzhi returns from Changle County, they should be married.

Hou Lin's marriage was also decided. He married no one else, but the daughter of the boss's family who was hiding from when Luo Yong was still in Chang'an City earlier when Hou proofreader was hiding all day long.

Originally, he didn't like his boss forcibly promoting it and worked in the Imperial College. He often heard his colleagues mention that the Hu family's back house was not quiet, and he also heard that this woman looked black and fat, and she didn't look good at all, so she avoided it for fear of being too late.

However, the woman liked Hou Lin quite a lot and took the initiative to contact him several times to express her feelings.

Then Hou Lin gradually discovered that this was actually a good woman with a firm and delicate personality. It was probably because her growth environment was a bit complicated and seemed much more mature than her peers. After looking at her appearance carefully, although it was not eye-catching, it also had her own charm. The more she looked at her, the more she felt it was more attractive...

In this way, these two people will be successful, and they will not wait until Qiao Junlin comes back to have his uncle's wedding banquet, and they will get married on a date.

To put it in detail, it is not without practical considerations that truly promote the determination of Hou Lin, an older male bachelor, to make up his mind to get married.

Luo Yong suddenly left the capital this time. The matter was so urgent and suddenly, which made Hou Lin a little scared. This was Luo Yong, the famous Luo Sanlang of Li Shi, who still had the possibility of returning to Chang'an City again in the future. What if he changed to Hou's proofreading book?

I am afraid that I can only wander around and travel until I am old, and I will never return to Chang'an City again in my life.

Although Dr. Hu’s position as an officer is not very high and his daughter has a high status at home, behind them, there is still a family standing, and no matter how hard it is, he is more powerful than Hou Lin, a grassroots person.

When Hou Lin married the daughter of the Hu family, he became a member of the family group. Even if he was just a marginal member, he would still have some protection.

As for why the Hu family liked Hou Lin so much, whether it was also considered the relationship between Hou Lin and his uncle and nephew and Luo Yong, outsiders were not sure.

...

Guazhou is far away from Chang'an City, but this border area is also closely connected with Chang'an City, especially during April to October every year when the Hu people are active frequently.

When they were running horses and sending messages between the post stations, Luo Yong had previously walked from Liangzhou City to Changle County, Guazhou. It was difficult to walk in winter. It took more than a month to deliver the official documents. Now they only took a few days to go from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and the speed was even faster.

The governor of Guazhou Chen Jiao soon received the news that Tang Jian was coming to Changle County, Guazhou, and it was naturally for Na Luo to go to Changle County.

As for the memorandum he had handed over, there was no reply on it, and he didn't even mention it. This made Chen Jiao feel a little uneasy, so he found one of his confidants to discuss the matter.

"Naru Yong is indeed not an ordinary person. He can achieve great achievements and cause great disasters. Now he is in such a border area, and his relationship with those Hu people is unclear. How many people in the court are waiting to catch him in the wrong place. There is nothing wrong with this move, so it is better to draw a clear line with it."

"The saint seems to be disliked..."

"The Duke is from a gentry family, so why do you need to look at the saints' expressions everywhere? Could it be that there are no saints in Chang'an City when the sages also look at the gentry's expressions? When the Chen family was developed and strengthened, their Li family still did not know where they were. Even if the previous dynasty was destroyed, they would just be the emperor. The gentry was still the gentry?"

“…”

"Your Majesty does not need to worry. Even if the saint is not happy, he will never denounce you. How could he not know the things in the officialdom?"

"Now that Tang Jian is coming to Guazhou, what should I do?"

"Of course, just be the governor of Guazhou. No matter who he should come, what should he do? If you should entertain the Chen family, as long as the Chen family does not collapse, why should you worry about your career? If you are too anxious and bring disaster to the family, that is truly unwise."

After the confidant left, Chen Jiao sat alone and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his words were really reasonable.

Why is this?

It was just because the other party said, which was exactly what he was thinking in his heart.

Luo Yong, the people around him are not so considerate.

When I heard that the jokes from County Magistrate Luo have now spread to Chang'an City, and even to the court, the county magistrates and chief clerks in the county are a little restless.

Next time when I change positions, I go to a new place to take the post. At that time, my boss will ask them where they did the previous job, which Mingfu they followed, and then...

"Oh... it's the county magistrate Luo who is very good at telling jokes, right?"

"Did you learn some with me? Why don't you tell me two of you to listen to us?"

A decent imperial court official! This is simply a great humiliation, okay? They are going to be officials! They have to do practical things! They are definitely not for people to enjoy themselves at will!

For this matter, Luo Yong has been listening to the people who have been listening to each other every day recently.

Whenever I went out to drink a few sips of wine with those Hu people, someone would come over to the yamen. No one would dare to come, but they would report to Qiao Junlin, and then Qiao Junlin would come.

"Did you see Luo Yong?" During dinner that day, Qiao Junlin didn't see anyone in the yamen. After asking, he learned that Luo Yong came out to have a drink with someone again, so he found it with his big knife.

"Here, it's in the restaurant ahead." The people of Changle generally believe that drinking so much wine at a young age is not good for their health.

So Qiao Junlin walked in with his waist and held a big knife.

"Why is the county magistrate having a drink again?" At this time, people started to watch the fun outside the shop.

"The caravan that just entered the city this afternoon, Yan brought the seeds from the Western Regions, and our county magistrate ran over in a hurry."

"Tsk, don't coax him again. I've seen him coaxed several times, so I want to call him over and tell jokes."

"Oh, it's out..."

I saw Qiao Junlin and Luo coming out of the shop one by one, and Qiao Junlin walked in front with his big knife, and Luo followed behind with a smile.

When I left the shop, I saw a lot of people surrounded me. The county magistrate even greeted them: "Why are they all around here? But have you had supper?"

"I've eaten it."

"Mingfu should go back to have dinner soon."

"What seed did you get today?"

"I don't know it either."

"Why don't you take out some and I'll plant it for you."

"If good, sometimes if you plant it, remember to call me over and see."

"Of course, it's planted in my vegetable garden. If you want to see it in Mingfu, you can go and see it anytime."

"You have taken these seeds, and I'm afraid I can't plant them this year. I'll have to wait until the beginning of spring next year."

"Cicada."

“…”

"Go away."
