【Ten years later】

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the fiery red mianuo flowers are in full bloom, and the vast land of the Central Plains is shrouded in red clouds.

In the past ten years, the seeds of the mianguo tree have been planted one after another, and after they grow up, they are transported away by large ships and transplanted to the states of Beitang.If we talk about where the most plants grow and the best grows, Hanjialing is the one.

Outside the wooden door, a capable man rang the brass bell, and someone came around from under the east wall.

The visitor was dressed in moon-white clothes, with a smile on his face, "Third son, do you have my courier?"

"Yes, there is a whole car." The young man pointed behind him, "Uncle Ye, shall I unload you into the courtyard?"

"Thank you." Ye Fan pushed open the door and led him into the courtyard.

Ten years have passed, even after marrying the prince and becoming a concubine with a golden phoenix, Ye Fan still lives in the cave courtyard on the west slope.

However, the courtyard at this time is no longer what it used to be. One entrance was added to the front and back, and two roads were added.

The courier boy turned to the west side familiarly, and the tricycle passed through a section of road paved with blue bricks, and walked steadily into the middle courtyard.

There is a big locust tree growing in the courtyard, with thick branches, and the huge canopy covers most of the courtyard.

Standing under the tree is a blue-gray stone table, its edges and corners have been smoothed by wind and rain, showing a somewhat rounded charm.

Sitting at the table was a man, dressed in black and wearing a jade crown, with clear eyes.

Ten years have passed, and the years seem to have left no marks on his face. The man in front of him is still the tall, tall, heroic Marquis of Chang'an back then.

No, it should be called Chang'an King now - the most honorable person in the Northern Tang Dynasty.

Even though he had met him many times, Han San still did not dare to take it lightly, "The boy has met the prince!"

"Free." Li Yao said lightly.

Ye Fan straightened his back, and always felt unfair at this time, he and Li Yao were obviously in the same position, why should everyone talk and smile in front of him, and respect Li Yao when they see him?

——Isn’t it just that he is a little taller, has a stronger aura, is a little more handsome, and what else?

Li Yao got up and put his arms around his waist naturally, "Didn't you go dig mushrooms, why are you empty-handed?"

Ye Fan grabbed the teacup on the table, didn't care if it was Li Yao's, and drank it clean, "I'll be back when I hear there's a delivery, and Qingluan can go by himself."

Hearing the name of the white deer, Han San was amazed in his heart - that is a divine deer, I don't know if he can take a look at it later.

With such a calculation in mind, he unconsciously slowed down his movements.

Ye Fan didn't urge him, and leaned on Li Yao to read the letter with relish.

The letter came from the capital, and the official handwritten the royal letter. Ye Fan smiled while reading it, "Sanlang cried poor again, thinking that this year's autumn fruit will cost an extra three thousand shi... Eh? His wife is pregnant with a baby, and we will have a baby again." nephew!"

Ye Fan raised his head, "Don't let them run back and forth during the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go to the capital as a family, shall we?"

Li Yao nodded, "You have the final say."

"I have to tell Erniang about this, and see what gift I can prepare for my little nephew." Ye Fan was sincerely happy.

Over the years, his love for the little doll has never changed.

Is this the only thing that hasn't changed?

The 28-year-old Ye Fan lost her baby fat, and the contours of her face became more mature.Only those eyes are still clear and clear, and the smile is the same as before, with curved brows and eyes, which is Li Yao's favorite look.

The sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, and spots of light are reflected on Ye Fan's face. It's hard to tell whether the sun is brighter or his eyes are brighter.

Li Yao raised his chin, and kissed him delicately.

Han San poked his head, not daring to breathe.

——The queen is pregnant with a dragon child!

——The prince is kissing the princess!

——Going to the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Any piece of news is enough to cause an uproar across the country.

Han San wants to cry - I'm just a courier, do I really have to take on such a big secret?

***

Feilong Logistics was founded more than ten years ago, and now it has formed a logistics network all over the Eastern Continent. In addition to sending tokens, the business involved also covers cargo transportation and escorting.

Ten years ago, An Rong opened a warehouse in Daning. From the initial sales of noodles, sunflower seed oil, grape oil, and cotton clothing, it has now become a supermarket serving all aspects of basic necessities of life.

Vendors from all over the world come here to order, and those who travel far away place orders and entrust Feilong Logistics to deliver them; those who are close to each other can also pick them up by themselves if they want to save some money; small vendors who travel on foot come to buy goods, holding the documents issued by the county magistrate You can enjoy certain discounts.

The reason why the business can grow so big is, in the final analysis, thanks to the railway tracks laid by the king.

That's right, the most famous "Passeduct" track in the Northern Tang Dynasty was designed by a 13-year-old "boy" called Dawang.

In order to stay, Dawang and Fat Tuan exhausted their energy and turned into carbon-based creatures like the people on Earth. Not only did they lose their privileges as optical brains, but they also had to experience life, old age, sickness and death like normal humans.

However, even if the body becomes human, the knowledge stored in their brains is not erased.

Since three years ago, he and Fat Tuan traveled north and south in the name of "study tours", laying railway tracks, building embankments, building drainage pipes, and presiding over the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

Under their advocacy, the forests in the northwest have not been cut down completely, the abundant animal and plant resources in the south have been utilized, and marine protection and ecological agriculture have also been put on the agenda.

If Li Yao and Ye Fan would consider the interests of the Northern Tang Dynasty when doing things, the king and the fat group did not have this limitation. Their righteous deeds involved all countries on this continent and benefited people in different regions.

In this regard, Li Yao did not stop, and Li Sanlang had no objection either.

In this way, the king faced the face that grew more and more like Li Yao, and was accompanied by a young boy who looked exactly like Ye Fan. He traveled around the mountains and rivers while doing good deeds, and became a more admirable person of great kindness than their parents. people.

***

In order to reach the capital before the [-]th of August, the date of travel was set on the ninth day of August.

Hanjialing has a direct railway track to the capital, and it can be reached in two days by horse-drawn train.

Yes, it is indeed a "horse-drawn train".Although the railway tracks were laid, the king refused to "invent" the steam engine or other power equipment.

After experiencing the destruction of the planet and the exile of human beings, he stubbornly believes that this piece of green mountains and green waters is more precious.

As for the development of industry and the progress of civilization, leave it to time to complete!

In the early morning of the ninth day of August, Guan Dalang came to see him off with his family.

Everyone in the Guan family is busy now.

Guan Erlang had just been named a general a few years ago, with a third-rank military position, commanding the Li family army who stayed in Daning.

Guan Sanlang and Yingniang are in charge of the noodle factory, and the number of workers in the factory has expanded from the original eight to more than 300.

Guan Goro's woodworking skills are becoming more and more famous, and more than 20 disciples have been accepted as beginners.

Guan Dalang and Ye Sanjie raised tens of thousands of geese, and opened a cooked food processing workshop. The baked foie gras, goose palm, goose letter, and goose breast were branded with Hanjialing's trademark, so they didn't have to worry about selling them.

Second Sister Ye and Guan Erlang gave birth to a white and fat boy in the second year of their marriage. Now he is eight years old. His first name is Guan Kang, and he is usually called Fourth Younger.

Two years later, Yu Sanniang also gave birth to a son, who was the fifth.Yingniang didn't have a child for the first two years, but she finally got pregnant last year, and she just landed last month, and she was another kid.

The bride Guan Xiao married the year before last gave birth to twins, two boys.

It is also a coincidence that there are five brothers in the Guan family, except for Shiro's partner who is a man, all other families have sons.

Now Second Sister Ye is pregnant again, and the whole family burns incense and worships Buddha, hoping to be a little girl.Ye Fan also hopes to have a soft and cute little niece.

Liao Hao was transferred to the capital five years ago, and now he is the Secretary of the Imperial Academy.If there is no accident, after Mr. Mo is honored and raised, he will be the next son of the country to offer wine.

The relationship between Guan Silang and Liao Huan has long been made public, and with Li Yao and Ye Fan as targets in front, no one dares to talk about them.

Now Guan Silang is studying in Taixue together with Er Xiao, San Xiao, and Xiao Hammer, and the autumn is just around the corner. They agreed to stay in the school to study, and they will not come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This idea came from Guan Shiro, who is the most diligent of several people.He is not looking forward to being an official butcher in his examination of merit. His biggest goal is to become a doctor of the academy, at least he can keep up with Liao Hao's pace.

Guan Shiro proved with his actions that a good partner can give life unlimited motivation and strive to become better.

Sister Ye is also here.

She was accompanied by her husband, Li Yatou.

After Li Sanlang ascended the throne, County Magistrate Tan was transferred to Anzhou as the state shepherd, and Li Ge also took over Anzhou's city defense army. Now he is a serious fifth-rank official, two ranks higher than Fan Dalang who entered the imperial examination.

Fan Dalang is 24 years old this year. He works in Yushitai. Although his official position is not high, he is quite talented and honest. He is valued by the officials, that is, Li Sanlang. Coupled with his relationship with Ye Fan, he will be in the cabinet in the future There are also.

It is worth mentioning that his wife, surnamed Jiang Mingxin, served as a school order at the Beijing Women's School.

It was also fate, when Sister Ye went to Lishutai to inquire about it, she wanted to tell Ye Fan about Mrs. Jiang, but she didn't realize that she was not a sister-in-law, but a daughter-in-law instead.

***

The tracks and wheels are specially made, and the outside is wrapped with the gum of the fruit tree, which is not only waterproof, moisture-proof and insect-proof, but also reduces friction.Sixteen horses pull two carriages, which not only carry people, but also load goods, so it doesn't take much effort to run.

When the first piece of railroad track was made, Li Sanlang didn't want to lose his face. He hugged Ye Fan's thigh and cried and begged, insisting on taking this "patent".

I have to say that Li Yao's judgment is absolutely correct. Don't look at Li Sanlang who pretends to be a husky laughing and joking on weekdays, but he is a monkey in his bones. Facing those stubborn veterans, he suffers a little bit of verbal loss, but he will never lose in big things. Don't budge.

As for the family's property, if he didn't sell it, he would take a big one.

Today, the manufacturing technology of rails and carriages is in the hands of the imperial court, and the benefits in terms of money are second, and the most important thing is the internal affairs, diplomacy, society, and people's hearts involved.

The carriage passed the vineyard, and Shun Shun sat on Ye Fan's lap, pointing out the window with her slender hands.

"Mum, eat!"

The little guy is the second child of An Rong and Li Erniang, who is only over two years old this year, and he still doesn't know how to call "Auntie", and he refuses to call Ye Fan "Uncle", so he created a strange and appropriate address for himself.

Ye Fan couldn't correct it, so he had to let him call.

"Okay, let Shun Shun eat them all."

The little guy was born with dystocia, and finally he was out of breath.Ye Fan refused to give up, and switched hands with Fat Tuan to do first aid, miraculously rescued the child, and gave him the nickname "Shunshun".

Perhaps there is a feeling, the little guy's favorite people are "Sister Mu" and "Brother Tuantuan".

In another carriage, Fat Tuan led his younger siblings to play mahjong.The one in the middle is the eldest daughter of An Rong and Li Erniang, her maiden name is An Jia, she is eight years old this year, her gentle eyes are like a miniature version of Li Erniang.

The other is Xu Lang, the only son of Li Wuniang. He is only six years old.

It's funny to say that Li Wuniang admired the mighty generals like her father and elder brother the most since she was a child. She didn't expect to marry a gentle scholar in the end, and she fell in love with it herself.

There is also one named Li Yan, who is the only son of Ruan Yu and the veritable eldest son of the Li family.

Li Yan's mother is the granddaughter of the prime minister's family, and she was originally chosen to be the queen. Unexpectedly, this noble girl had a fight with Ruan Yu on the polo field, and the two met each other inexplicably.

Li Sanlang was not afraid of being ashamed, so he begged the second wife to issue a decree, and granted them a marriage. The ministers expressed their attitudes in front of the officials, which became the beginning of the Northern Tang dynasty's family standing side by side with Qingliu.

Li Silang's wife is a military general, and grew up in the border. The husband and wife rode horses, trained soldiers, and went to the school field together, which can be described as singing together.

Back to Li Yan.

He was sent back to Hanjialing by Ruan Yu when he was four years old. Although he is only nine years old this year, he behaves like Li Yao.At this time, he did not play mahjong with his brothers and sisters, but sat with the king on a low table next to him and discussed the matter of stationing troops on the frontier.

Speaking of the stalemate, Li Yao occasionally mentioned that the two of them often benefited a lot.

Fat Tuan turned over a card, and imitated Ye Fan's tone and muttered: "It's a big festival, let's take a rest and talk about political affairs!"

The two glanced at him and said nothing.

When Shun Shun heard Fat Tuan's voice, he rushed there with his little hands open, "Brother Tuantuan, go find him!"

Fat Tuan heard it, and responded with a smile: "Brother is here!"

Saying this with his mouth, but his buttocks did not move, and the cards in his hand were scooped up quickly-in terms of the ability to count cards silently, no one can compare to him.

Shun Shun called out again.

Fat Tuan touched the King with his toes, "Hold Shun Shun."

The king sullenly said, "Go by yourself."

Fat Tuan blinked his eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Brother Wang, please help~" The ending sound turned three times, which was very true to Ye Fan's true biography.

When reorganizing the body, the king absorbed Li Yao's genes, and the fat group chose Ye Fan's without hesitation. Now that they are in their teens, one has become "Little Li Yao" and the other is "Little Ye Fan".

Just like Li Yao couldn't refuse Ye Fan, the king couldn't resist Fat Tuan's acting like a baby.

The boy sighed, got up and walked to the adjacent carriage, and took Shun Shun away from Ye Fan's arms, with an expressionless face the whole time.

Shun Shun was happy, and opened her small mouth, "Ah huh", and gnawed on his face.

The king's face darkened instantly.

Fat Tuan laughed out loud, causing the younger siblings to laugh too.

The king felt ashamed, but he could only bear it - if he dared to touch Shun Shun's finger, the fat group would cry harder than the little guy.

He couldn't bear to let him cry.

Ye Fan stood by the window, looking at the slowly receding green mountains and rivers, listening to the children's laughter, with a warm smile in his eyes.

A warm chest leaned over from behind, strong arms wrapped around his waist, familiar body temperature, familiar strength, familiar breath.

Familiar happiness.

This life is worth it.
