Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chang Anmin also had a look of confusion and said, "Don't worry, if there really is trouble, Lord Wang and I will take care of it. We won't let you take the blame."

Chen Lang scratched his head and said, "My Lords, that's not what I meant."

Chang Anmin said, "Okay, let's not talk about this."

"One last thing."

"You must have heard something along the way, coming back from the north. The upper Yellow River has burst its banks, and tens of thousands of refugees from Hedong Road are pouring into our area."

"Stock up on food at home. In times of disaster, food is more useful than money."

"The brewery is temporarily closed. It consumes too much food. We will restart it after the disaster is over."

Chen Lang nodded: "I understand. Thank you for your advice, sir."

"But the disaster is so serious that students can't just sit back and watch."

"Students should donate one thousand taels first as a token of our appreciation."

Chang Anmin said, "On behalf of the people affected by the disaster, I thank you for your kindness."

Chen Lang stood up and said, "My Lords, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Wang Yunzhang said, "By the way, if you have time, come to my house."

"My boy is looking forward to hearing the ending of your Journey to the West."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "I will write down the story when I get back and ask someone to give it to the Second Young Master."

After leaving the yamen, Chen Lang did not rush home, but went to Guhong Tower.

After all, it is my own property. After returning from the Liao Kingdom, I have to take a look at it.

When we arrived at Guhong Tower, business was still booming, and there was no sense of tension as if a disaster was about to happen.

The storyteller Tian Yuzhu was performing at Guhong Tower today, but Chen Lang had never heard of the stories he told, because they were either written by himself or were some jokes from the local community.

Shopkeeper Hu was also very excited when he saw Chen Lang.

Although if Chen Lang had not shown up, Guhonglou would have become Manager Hu's property again, but Manager Hu was a man of honor and gratitude. He knew very well that without Chen Lang, there would be no Guhonglou today, and if Guhonglou wanted to develop in the long run, it could not do without Chen Lang as its leader.

"Mr. Chen, I am so happy to see you again."

"You can't leave today no matter what you say. I'm treating you to a good time at Hongxiuzhao."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Hu, my wife is pregnant, so I have to stay by her side. I appreciate your kindness."

Shopkeeper Hu sighed, "Mr. Chen is truly a good man who cares about his family. I am ashamed of myself."

"Mr. Chen, have you eaten yet? It would be fine if you could stay for a quick meal."

Chen Lang said, "Unfortunately, I've already eaten."

"Shopkeeper Hu, I'm back this time and I won't be leaving anytime soon. If you want to treat me to a meal, there are plenty of opportunities."

"By the way, I hope Miss Xie wasn't bullied while I was away."

Shopkeeper Hu said, "No, Miss Xie is very famous now. All the young men in Linshui are praising her. As for those street urchins, they have guards to protect them and don't dare to harass Miss Xie."

Chen Lang said: "That's good. If you see Miss Xie, tell her that I'm back."

"I have to stay at home with my wife and daughter, so I may not be able to find time to see her."

Shopkeeper Hu nodded: "No problem, I'll tell her when I see her."

"You are busy, so I will leave first." Chen Lang said.

Shopkeeper Hu said, "When Master Chen's son Lin is born, I will come with gifts to congratulate you."

Chen Lang bowed and said goodbye, turned around and was about to leave, but he ran into an unexpected person.

When Zhu Shan saw Chen Lang, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He immediately rushed to Chen Lang, looked left and right, and exclaimed in amazement: "Mr. Chen, it really is you!"

Chen Lang asked, "Brother Zhu? Didn't you say you were going to take up a new post out of town? Why haven't you left yet?"

Zhu Shan smiled and said, "There are procedures to follow when taking up a position. A few months is considered relatively fast."

"What a coincidence! I'm leaving Linshui tomorrow to take up an official position elsewhere."

"I thought I'd try my luck at Guhong Tower and see if I could meet Master Chen."

"What a coincidence! I actually ran into him."

"Hahaha, it's God's will. It's all God's will."

Chen Lang said: "Congratulations, Brother Zhu, congratulations, Brother Zhu, you finally have a place to show your skills."

Zhu Shan waved his hand and said, "The road ahead is long, it's too early to say these things."

"It's okay not to mention it."

"Mr. Chen, I'm leaving tomorrow, so you have to give me some face tonight and have a good drink with me."

Chen Lang said, "Okay, but I have to go home first and tell my wife."

Zhu Shan said: "As it should be."

"How about this, we'll meet at Yanfei Tower in an hour."

Chen Lang nodded in agreement.

After returning home, I explained the situation to Li Xiuzhi.

Although Yanfeilou is a brothel, visiting brothels is always the first choice for talented people to gather these days, and Li Xiuzhi doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Chen Lang said that he was just going to see Zhu Shan off and would never touch any girl in the brothel, but this made Li Xiuzhi laugh.

"My husband, you are so cute."

Chen Lang deliberately kept a straight face and said, "Cute is only used to describe old men."

Li Xiuzhi pinched Chen Lang's cheek and said, "That's just cute."

The little romance between the couple made Feng Chaoying, who was standing next to them, a little stunned.

She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law was so bold as to pinch her husband's face.

But my son seems to be enjoying it.

But then I thought about it, it seemed that I treated Shirong the same way before.

It really is passed down from generation to generation.

"Erlang."

"mother."

"Don't get drunk and come back early."

"Got it, mother."

……

The sky darkened and Linshui County became lively.

The flood in Hedong Road and the likely arrival of disaster victims failed to affect the prosperous and luxurious scene along the water.

Especially after the introduction of the advertising law, billboards were erected on both sides of the waterside streets, with lanterns hanging on the top and candles lit underneath, making the entire billboard transparent.

Looking around, there is a hint of modern urban flavor.

Xiao Qi drove the carriage and brought Chen Lang to Yanfei Tower.

This brothel is not like Tingxue Tower and Hongxiuzhao, which have top-notch courtesans to keep the place in check. Among the brothels in Linshui County, it belongs to the second-rate tier, but it is also the leader among the second-rate tier.

Perhaps the service attitude, entertainment programs and decoration style are not as elegant as those of the first-tier ones, but the relatively low prices make it popular among many students from ordinary families.

Zhu Shan was chatting with his friends. When he saw Chen Lang getting out of the car, he immediately waved and said to the people around him, "Hey, a truly talented person has arrived."

"He is the Master Chen Lang I often mentioned to you, the true Immortal Poet!"

"Mr. Chen, this way!" "I had originally planned to update 8,000 every day this month, but then I suddenly realized yesterday that it's almost Chinese New Year.

So I reduced it from 8,000 to 6,000, and kept the extra 2,000 words as a draft, so that I can ensure continuous updates during the New Year period.

Dear readers, please understand.

I would like to wish everyone a happy new year! 」
