The next day it was just after Mao hour and it was not yet bright.
Chen Tianling brought two jars of immortal dew to the inn and respectfully placed the jars on the table.
"What a drink!" From Luo Li's expression, it could be seen that he was also a drinker. After speaking, he pointed to the other side and asked, "What is that?"
Next to the fairy dew, there is a long wooden box placed neatly.
Chen Tianling gently opened the wooden box and folded a piece of paper inside. Fu Shen replied: "My young master said that business is all about integrity. The remaining remuneration has been exchanged for fairy dew. This is the written evidence and it has been branded."
Seal the seal and ask Mr. Luo to keep it. Of course, if Mr. Luo wants to withdraw the money one day, he can do so."
Luo Li raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and picked up the receipt and took a look at it. He didn't say anything, just smiled, picked up the two jars of wine and walked out, leaving Chen Tianling alone in the room without knowing where he was going.
Chen Tianling smacked his tongue, the friends his young master made were really different.
She didn't stay too long. Chen Ping had finished the things arranged by Chen Ping and had to hurry up to prepare gifts for home.
Since the two brothers Chen Tianrui and Chen Tianling took Chen Ping's surname, of course they were members of the Chen family, so they would go back to Nanxi Village with Chen Ping every year during the Chinese New Year.
There have been several heavy snowfalls in Qianzhou in the twelfth lunar month, and more than half a month has passed since the provincial examination. The students of Jiangxia Academy have all returned home for the holidays.
After Chen Ping said goodbye to Zhao Wenhe in Zhuyuan, he made an appointment with Cheng Cheng to go to Beijing, and then drove the carriage back to Nanxi Village with Chen Tianling and Ye Chongwen.
The carriage traveled very fast, and within five days the familiar sights of the past were already visible.
The widened and paved roads in Yongshun County are busy with traffic, merchants gather to sell goods, and shouts come and go.
Chen Ping looked at this lively scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"If Magistrate Wang could see Yongshun today, he would be very pleased."
We are about to arrive at Huating Academy, and Ye Chongwen is also a little anxious.
"I don't know what happened to Dean Wang and Teacher Li Yang."
"You go back to the academy, and I will come back to meet you gentlemen after I come back from home."
Chen Ping thought of his parents in Nanxi Village. They were busy investigating cases and taking exams this year and had not yet returned home. They must be looking forward to seeing what happened.
Ye Chongwen got off the bus at Huating Academy, and Chen Ping and Chen Tianling left the county town and headed towards Nanxi Village.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, Chen Ping opened the curtains and looked.
A shallow stream flows down from the mountain col, and the houses are criss-crossed. Children wearing new clothes chase and play, and farmers are preparing New Year's goods.
There are snow piles and plum clusters on the side of the road between the two villages, creating a poetic and pastoral scene.
Even the road leading into the village has been renovated and is now much smoother and wider than before.
"Huh?"
When was this road repaired?
While Chen Ping was still surprised, an aunt on the roadside saw him and suddenly shouted.
"Mr. Chen is back!"
Folks call people a master to show their respect, but Chen Ping is only eighteen years old now, so the title of master is really uncomfortable.
But before he could react, the surrounding villagers suddenly became uproar and gathered together.
A few clever ones jumped up and ran towards the Chen family compound to report the news.
"Chen Juren is back!"
"The Wenquxing of our village is back! Little Fatty, come and pay homage to Mr. Wenquxing, and you will also be the first in the exam in the future!"
"Chen Ping, I am your Uncle Pan, do you still remember?"
The familiar and unfamiliar names were different, but they all crowded over and surrounded the horse. Chen Ping quickly got out of the carriage and bowed his hands to all the fellow villagers.
"Hello Uncle Pan, are you in good health? Aunt Wang, you are young again..."
After just a few words, Chen Ping saw a steady stream of villagers running here.
Since when have there been so many people in Nanxi Village?
Chen Tianling stood beside Chen Ping, blocking the enthusiastic villagers as much as possible. She was worried that the crowd would crowd out the young master.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the Chen family showed up.
When Chen Duohai got the news, he immediately rushed there with a quick stride, followed by several servants. He shouted loudly as he walked.
"Son! Haha, my son is back!"
Over the years, Chen Ping has been sending money to his family. The Chen family's life is also prosperous, and their voice in the village is getting bigger and bigger.
When Chen Ping was dual-yuan, Li Zheng had great respect for the Chen family.
Now that Chen Pingcheng understands Yuan, Li Zheng will bow to him when he sees him.
The villagers didn't dare to block anymore, so they all retreated out of the way with envy.
There are also many villagers who push their daughters forward, hoping that Wen Quxing can take a look.
Xiang, who was following closely behind, was also very excited and stepped forward to grab Chen Ping's hand.
"Let me see, mom, have you lost weight? I thought you would be able to get home yesterday, but I had to wait at home all day."
Chen Ping quickly apologized to his parents, "I was delayed for something and made my parents worried. It is really my son's fault."
"Tian Ling is back too, great! By the way, where is Tian Rui?" Xiang had already regarded Tian Rui and Tian Ling as her own child, so she didn't see Chen Tian Rui come back to celebrate the New Year this year. She was a little worried so she asked. "Mother, my brother is in the capital and the journey is too far, so he won't come back this year." Chen Tianling took Xiang's hand and said obediently.
"Hey, how can we let Tian Rui spend the New Year alone in the capital?" Xiang looked at Chen Ping with reproachful eyes.
No matter how old he is, he is still a child in the eyes of his parents. Chen Ping knew that Xiang was worried that Chen Tianrui would be homesick during the New Year, so he quickly explained: "The shops in the capital are really busy, and there are more people buying goods at the end of the year. It's really...
I can’t leave. But don’t worry, mother, my son has close friends in Beijing, and Tian Rui will celebrate the New Year with them.”
"Okay, okay! Our son has his own arrangements. Go home quickly, we are waiting for you at home." Chen Duohai pulled Chen Ping and rushed out of the crowd.
"Father, mother," Chen Ping's eyes lit up when he saw his parents whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he asked as he walked: "Are you in good health?"
"Okay, okay! Mom is fine everywhere, but I can't see you!" Xiang complained slightly, but she knew that her son was going to do big things, but she couldn't control her longing.
Otherwise, if Chen Ping had sent a letter a few days ago, she would have thought that Chen Ping would have gone directly to the capital after the provincial examination.

"It is true that I have been busy with my studies in recent years and have not properly fulfilled my filial piety to my parents. After my son takes the exam in Beijing this time, I will bring you to live together." Chen Ping suggested.
"Yes, I can take care of my parents then." Chen Tianling also said.
"No, no, I can't get used to living with your mother in the city. It's fine here." Chen Duohai refused directly, and the few of them had already arrived at the Chen family compound while they were talking.
The entire courtyard has been completely renovated, and the area is more than three times larger than before. Everyone in the Chen family is waiting in front of the door.
Chen Qinghe stood at the front with a cane. When Chen Ping saw this, he hurried forward and said: "Grandpa, why are you coming out? Isn't this a disgrace to my grandson?"
Chen Qinghe narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "The most promising person in our old Chen family is back, I must come out!"
Everyone in the Chen family laughed loudly and expressed their agreement. Chen Ping scratched his head in embarrassment.
Chen Duoguang said with a smile: "Let's all go in. How will it look like to be crowded at the door?"
Chen Ping thanked his uncle for rescuing the siege, and asked Chen Duoguang and Zhou, "Long time no see, how are you two?"
Zhou's expression was a little unnatural, and she said with a smile: "Okay, everything is okay, Ping'er is interested. It's just that you came back in a hurry this time, and your uncle and I were not well prepared..." p>
"We don't speak the same language as our family. You're being polite. It's best if everyone is safe." All the things in the past were nothing more than small frictions between family members. Everyone can have a selfish heart, and Zhou's heart is quite strong.
Okay, Chen Ping didn’t take it to heart a long time ago.
"It'll be great if you come back! We are all looking forward to your coming back!" Chen Duoguang's eyes were moist and he looked proud.
The outside of Chen's courtyard was crowded with people, all looking in.
This is the Wenquxing who finally came out of Nanxi Village. Who wouldn’t want to get lucky?
Seeing this, Chen Duohai simply waved his hand and said: "My dear, it's a good day today, so I'll take out all the dry goods and treat the villagers to a meal! I'll also bring some firecrackers and blow them up twice. It'll be lively!" p>
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers inside and outside the Chen family compound.
The children cheered and rushed up.
"Firecrackers! Firecrackers! Cracking!"
"Hahaha!" Chen Duohai laughed loudly.
In the past, the Xiang family was deeply afraid of causing trouble for Chen Ping. Although the family had added two thousand acres of land and hired dozens of helpers, which was considered a big business in Yongshun County, the food and clothing expenses were never extravagant.<
/p>
But she was happy today, and Xiang was also very happy to see Chen Ping coming home, so she didn't stop him.
He also turned around and brought out a large bowl of candy cookies from the house and distributed them to the children.
Chen Ping was also affected by the lively atmosphere and said goodbye to everyone. He didn't even have time to unload the New Year's goods he brought back, and everyone gradually dispersed until the evening.
