Chapter 179 Entering Beijing and being greeted by hundreds of officials
After Li Xiuzhu and the others left the next day, a large wave of Jianghu people also left Yanmen Pass.
These people are naturally the ones who destroyed Nuo City, and most of them are women.
It's just that everyone is confused as to why they left without the boss coming back.
On the way back, Qin Wanqing's face was gloomy, and naturally everyone did not dare to get into trouble.
Lianyun Village arrived soon, and after picking up the guards, Qi Shaoshang and the others also left.
Naturally, Li Xiuzhu did not stop here. The army marched forward in a mighty manner, and the substitutions were only carried out in secret.
Although there was no need to train and rush on the way back, the army did not walk very fast in order to walk comfortably. Just like when they came, it took ten days to reach the outside of the imperial city.
Looking at the city wall that had come into view, Li Xiuzhu suddenly had the illusion of going home.
"Phew, finally back."
Hearing the emotion in Li Xiuzhu's words, Li Shishi curiously asked: "Husband, is the capital really so good?"
Li Xiuzhu nodded.
“In terms of enjoyment alone, it’s a first-class place.”
"Apart from the capital, I'm afraid only Jiangnan has such prosperity."
Hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, Li Shishi's eyes suddenly became more curious.
She is the daughter of a noble family, what kind of enjoyment has she never seen?
Master Li thought so, Xi Honglei said: "I have been to the capital once, and it is indeed not comparable to the border crossing."
Sun Shangxiang is also curious.
"Sister Honglei, tell us something."
Xi Honglei did not hide anything after hearing the words, and briefly talked about the prosperity of the capital.
Not long after she finished speaking, Hua Guanfang's voice came over.
"General, we are almost at the 16th Battalion."
"Okay, leave five thousand people behind, three thousand people to walk and rely on, and two thousand people to look at things."
"I will arrange it as soon as possible."
When Hua Guanfang heard this, she hurriedly responded.
"promise!"
The news of the return of Li Xiuzhu's army was basically known throughout the capital. When Li Xiuzhu arrived at the gate of the imperial city, he was surprised to find that all the officials were there.
this……
At this moment, Li Xiuzhu realized that he might have really made a great contribution, at least one that could earn him a title, but that was all.
Do you expect a poor person to work hard after getting a little red flower? Impossible.
However, proper etiquette still needs to be observed.
"Thank you all for coming to greet me. The Fu Mansion will prepare a banquet for you later."
Li Xiuzhu didn't know if the new home was ready, so he simply settled it at his father-in-law's house, spending his money and saving his own.
Fu Wenhan smiled when he heard this and did not object.
Fu Yuehua and the others have not moved. There is no man in the family, so they would not feel safe moving there.
The first thing Li Xiuzhu did when he entered the city was naturally to hand over military power.
But I didn't forget anything else. After giving a few instructions, someone went to make arrangements for the women from the aristocratic families.
Li Xiuzhu bought them a big house in the suburbs.
The area is so large that it is normal for hundreds of people to live there.
If you can't fit in, you can squeeze in first.
Later, Li Xiuzhu will take 10% of the share to build a textile factory and a sericulture center here, which will provide jobs for these people and help his mother-in-law.
After Li Xiuzhu handed over the military power, he returned to Fu Mansion.
Generally, you have to go to see the Holy Spirit early in the morning, so there is no rush.
At this time, the front yard of the Fu Mansion was already filled with courtiers. Li Xiuzhu smiled when he saw this, stepped forward and said, "Thank you all for coming, Xiuzhu would like to toast all of you."
"Xiuzhu, you're welcome. I remember that the last time I came here was so lively at your wedding banquet. I didn't expect that after two months, you would already be in the second rank when I came again."
"Master Sun is joking. Master Li should take the lead in pacifying Silla this time. It is also possible for him to be granted the title of marquis and worship the king."
"What Mr. Qian said is reasonable. I wish you good luck in your official career."
When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he suddenly felt less happy. If he has a successful official career, wouldn't he be busy to death? This man has a bad conscience.
Although he was unhappy, Li Xiuzhu still smiled.
"This gentleman is joking. I am just lucky, and my other abilities are actually average."
While Li Xiuzhu was hosting a banquet for officials, Fu Baozhu and Fu Yanyu were also making a scene in the inner hall.
But I haven't seen my brother-in-law for more than a month, and the two little guys don't have the luxury of two older sisters.
"Sister, sister, I want to see my brother-in-law."
"My brother-in-law has been gone for a month. Woohoo, I want to see my brother-in-law."
Fu Yanyu also spoke: "I miss my brother-in-law too, suck, suck, I miss him so much! suck, slip!"
Fu Baozhu wiped his mouth in confusion. Was my saliva dripping down? Impossible, I swallowed everything I spoke.
"Suck!"
Following the sound, Fu Baozhu saw Fu Yanyu's saliva.
Suddenly Fu Baozhu slapped his forehead, feeling tired.
"Yianyu, can you stop drooling? You make us look stupid."
"Please, if you can't help it, just stop talking and just swallow."
Fu Yanyu lowered her head when she heard this, kept bumping the index fingers of her two little hands, and said in a low voice: "But I really want to eat the delicious food cooked by my brother-in-law."
Fu Baozhu suddenly slapped his forehead again, how come I have such a stupid and cute sister.
My mother must have made a mistake, I should be the older sister, right?
Chen, Fu Yuehua and Fu Yunshuang were all amused by the two little guys.
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, your brother-in-law has just come back, let him have a good rest for two days."
"Let Bao Da do whatever you want to eat!"
Without Baozhu speaking, Fu Yanyu muttered in a low voice: "Bao Da's food is not as delicious as my brother-in-law's."
As soon as Fu Yanyu said this, everyone swallowed their saliva.
I don’t know what’s going on. It’s obvious that Bao Da can do some things, but it just feels a bit uninteresting.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you two little guys. Go and beg your brother-in-law tomorrow. It's really not possible today."
The two little guys curled their lips and stopped talking. Fu Yuehua looked at Fu Yunshuang and said, "Yunshuang, how is the business in the store?"
The restaurant has been open for more than half a month. Fu Yuehua has only visited once. She is also very busy and does not have much time to pay attention to her sister's business.
Fu Yunshuang smiled and nodded after hearing this.
"Business is not bad. I think it will be no problem if we make a million dollars in the next two years."
At this moment, Fu Yuehua heard his sister's hidden meaning and couldn't help but smile a little.
"Then come on, if you really do it, my sister will definitely not stop you."
Fu Yunshuang understood immediately after hearing this, and then chuckled.
Yunzhulou's current business is 5,000 taels per month, second only to Zuixianlou, but not far behind Zuixianlou.
Yunzhulou is the restaurant opened by Fu Yunshuang, and its name is taken from her and her brother-in-law Li Xiuzhu.
"Sister, you seem to be busier recently. Haven't you finished the silkworm raising yet?"
Hearing this, Fu Yuehua shook his head and said: "Raising silkworms will bring spring. This is not the point. I have already recruited almost all the people to raise silkworms. With the methods of raising silkworms left by your brother-in-law, it is naturally not a problem."
"But the weaving work is all guarded in each house, so it's difficult for me to recruit too many people."
