Chapter 1805 Return Home

Changzhi had a particularly deep connection with Magistrate Li. Lord Li was eloquent and smooth, and had met many local families recently. He had done a good job of appeasing them in just a few days. He also met with Sichuan officials who were not implicated. Sichuan was gradually returning to normal.

Changzhi had to admit that even if he knew everything in his heart, he could not do what Li Zhifu did. "Li Zhifu will definitely have a position in the court in the future."

Zhang Jinghong hummed, "I see you are free recently, so help me register the account, and we will return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep well if he didn't transport so much money back to Beijing.

Changzhi: "Okay."

While the two men were talking, they paid attention to Prefect Li, and Prefect Li also paid attention to Chang Zhi and the other two. Seeing how skillful they were, Prefect Li knew what was going on. He also understood how to treat Zhang Jinghong. He was a descendant of the previous dynasty and had even served as a fake prince. Wow, this man was also a legendary figure.

Time passed day by day, and Zhulan had not seen her youngest son for more than half a year in Zhou Hou Mansion in the capital. Today she finally arrived home.

Boss Zhou deliberately did not go out, waiting for his younger brother to come back, and was already waiting at the gate of the mansion.

Changzhong's guard came back first and said to the prince, "Prince, the young master's carriage has entered the city."

When Boss Zhou heard this, he said to Steward Ding, "Go tell the old lady."

Steward Ding did not send anyone, but went back to the backyard himself. Steward Ding was not young anymore, but he still walked very fast. The servant behind him shouted, "Slow down, old man."

Steward Ding turned around and said, "You are so young but you are not as fast as me. I think you need some exercise."

Zhulan saw Butler Ding and asked, "Have you arrived home yet?"

Steward Ding panted and replied, "The guards came back first to report that the young master has entered the city."

Zhulan smiled, "Then we're almost home."

Butler Ding also missed the young master. He watched the young master being born and growing up. This kind of feeling was incomparable to that of the previous masters.

Time passed quickly, and just after noon, Changzhong finally arrived home.

Boss Zhou walked to the front of the carriage and said, "Brother, help you get off the carriage."

Changzhong grinned, no longer looking like a nobleman. He felt at home, and his voice became much higher, "Big Brother."

"Hey, hey, let big brother take a good look."

Boss Zhou also had tears in his eyes. My younger brother is younger than his son!

Changzhong turned around and said, "I'm not thin, everything is fine."

"Okay, okay, let's go in. Mom has been waiting for you!"

Changzhong also missed his mother, "Oh."

Changzhong didn't care about the rest. Someone else would take care of it anyway. He followed his elder brother into the yard. When he saw Steward Ding, Changzhong smiled and said, "I found some good old ginseng for you. I'll have someone send it to you later."

Steward Ding was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears. "Young Master is still thinking about me when he is out taking the exam."

Chang Zhong, "You deserve it."

In the main courtyard, Zhulan heard her son's voice and was so excited that she couldn't sit still anymore. "Come in quickly."

When Changzhong came in and saw his mother, he knelt down without saying a word and said, "Mom, your son is back."

Zhulan stood up and pulled her little son up, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Changzhong helped his mother sit down and said, "Mom, everything is fine. Do you think he has gained some weight?"

Zhulan looked at you carefully and said, "I can't tell that you've gained weight, but you've grown a lot taller."

Changzhong smiled and said, "Mom, you have a good eye. The clothes my son brought were too short."

Zhulan was completely relieved. "Mother knows you have to understand Yuan. Mother is happy for you. My son is the best."

Changzhong straightened his back and said, "Of course I am your and dad's son."

The mother and son talked for a while before Zhou Lao Da and others started talking. Most of the talk was done by Changzhong, who talked about the changes in the family and the people and things he saw in his hometown. A lot of things happened in the past six months.

Finally, there were the gifts that Changzhong brought to his family. Everyone received a gift, even Changzhi who was still in Chuanzhou.

Li sat for a while and then went out. She wanted to check the things sent by the clansmen so that she could send them back during the New Year. Every year, the family would show filial piety, and the Marquisate would compensate them. The Marquisate of Zhou did not need the support of the family.

The family had dinner together in the evening. After the excitement, Changzhong stayed behind alone and said, "Dad, my son has made a new friend."

Zhou Shuren couldn't get enough of looking at his youngest son. He listened carefully to his son's words, "Whose family is he from?"

"The son of the Pingzhou prefect Cheng came to the capital with his son, but they separated after entering the city."

Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I didn't come back with you. I'm still polite."

Chang Zhong smiled, "He's quite interesting."

If it were any other person, he would have followed him no matter how stubborn he was. However, as soon as Cheng Xiang entered the city, he said that he was going home to clean up the house and would invite him to be his guest in a few days, but he did not say that he was visiting the Marquis's Mansion.

Zhou Shuren nodded with satisfaction. The more he cared about his son, the more likely he would put anyone who set their sights on Changzhong on the list of people he would refuse to have any contact with.

Changzhong had not rested before returning to the capital. The next day, the Fourth Prince arrived and pulled Changzhong up. He said, "You really made us proud. Today we celebrate your success."

Changzhong, "."

What the hell is going on? Are you celebrating?

The Fourth Prince took his people and left. Master Wu and his men were already waiting in the restaurant.

Changzhong was delighted when he entered the private room, "I am really impressive. I look very presentable today."

Mr. Wu, "I've asked for leave, how about that, brother?"

The fourth prince replied, "You have no time to work, and yet you have the nerve to ask for leave."

Mr. Wu refused to do it. "Qingxian is also an official position. I am an honest man."

Changzhong couldn't face the word "honest man" anymore, so he sat down and asked, "Who's inviting me to the banquet today?"

The fourth prince pointed at someone quickly, "Him."

Master Wu was speechless. "How can you, a legitimate prince, be so stingy?"

The fourth prince spread his hands and ignored his future brother-in-law, and said to Changzhong: "You also know my story. Today I will use tea instead of wine to congratulate you."

Chang Zhong naturally knew that the Fourth Prince was in mourning. "Your Highness is celebrating for me, and I understand in my heart."

The Fourth Prince truly regarded him as a friend, otherwise, he would not have left the palace.

The Fourth Prince: "Just know that I treat you well."

As they were having dinner and chatting, the fourth prince mentioned Zhou Changzhi, "Your fourth brother has been quiet but is actually a man who has done great things."

Changzhong: "It's all thanks to the emperor's trust."

The fourth prince said cheerfully, "We have been wrong before."

Master Wu said, "Wait for your fourth brother to come back some other day, and you can invite us to the Marquis' Mansion."

Changzhong was done with it, "No."

Humph, there’s no way you’ll see his fourth brother!

Changzhong was very busy after returning. He was dragged away by his friends without any rest. The next day he went to Wei's house to meet his fiancée. Then he received many invitations, some of which he could not refuse and had to participate.

Changzhong will not be able to attend the two banquets, and Mingyun will also go to the capital.

He made an appointment with Lu Jiaqing, and the two sat in the teahouse. Changzhong already knew Lu Jiaqing's life experience, "You have finally got your revenge."

Lu Jiaqing, "I heard that the officials of Sichuan Province escorted them back to Beijing. When they got the punishment they deserved, I felt that I had finally avenged myself."

Chang Zhong asked, "Do you want to go back and worship?"

"Yes, I will go back to worship when everything is over."
