Qin Fang didn't say much to Lord Yang. He had been away from home for more than half a month and was worried about his family, so he said goodbye to Lord Yang and went back to the general's mansion first.
After returning to the general's mansion, he was about to rush to find his wife, but when he heard from the guard that Lord Du was also there, he immediately went to see his master.
Du Ke had been here for two days. After Tao Shan found him, he did not rush to come, but dealt with the matter at hand and handed it over to Shen Lixian before coming back. At that time, Tao Shan was extremely anxious, but Lord Du was not anxious, so he had no choice. However, seeing Tao Shan so anxious, Lord Du rarely talked to him. At that time, he said: "This is a hurdle in Qin Fang's officialdom. If he can't get through this hurdle, how can he get through the next hurdle?" Tao Shan immediately understood that Lord Du was testing the general.
“Master…” Qin Fang shouted inside as he walked into the yard.
Du Ke was reading a book. When he heard Qin Fang's voice, he paused with his hand holding the book: "Come in." Although he was testing Qin Fang, Du Ke was naturally anxious. However, Du Ke understood better than anyone that Qin Fang would be fine. Yunxiang County had ore, which was used to make medicine. In this case, the emperor would not let Qin Fang get into trouble.
To put it bluntly, Qin Fang had just entered the court and was nobody's man. The emperor was relieved when the drug was in his hands. If it was someone else, who could guarantee that he had not been bribed
As soon as Qin Fang saw Du Ke, he immediately bowed and said, "Hello, Master."
Qin Fang looked at his dusty appearance and said, "Sit down."
Qin Fang sat down: "The students made the teacher worried." Otherwise, the teacher would not come here on his own.
Du Ke said calmly: "I'm not worried."
Qin Fang felt that the teacher must be modest, saying one thing and thinking another. How could he come to Yunxiang County if he wasn't worried? But he looked at the teacher's expression carefully, and it didn't seem like he was worried about him. Qin Fang felt a little wronged. Speaking of which, Qin Fang has always been steady and mature in front of the Qin family, but in front of Du Ke, he occasionally has a childish side. Perhaps Du Ke is not only a teacher in Qin Fang's heart, but also more like a powerful and omniscient existence, so in front of him, Qin Fang is willing to show his weak side.
Du Ke: "Do you know why I won't worry about you?"
Qin Fang didn't understand: "Please explain it clearly, teacher. But I know that the teacher is not worried because he knows that nothing will happen to me. But why is the teacher so sure?"
Du Ke said: "Because of Huo Yao, the matter of Huo Yao cannot be known to too many people, and Huo Yao can only be in the hands of a clean person. At present, there are clean people in the court. But in the heart of the emperor, you are clean. Even if you are my student, you are the student appointed by the emperor, which has a different meaning."
Speaking of Huo Yao, Qin Fang understood: "Master, those people plotted against me, are they targeting Huo Yao?"
Du Ke: "Master, this is just a guess, but Bingyun surprised me. Qin Fang, you have a good wife." And a good wife is too important for a man in the officialdom. Not everyone has the courage to use such a large sum of money to build a road.
Even if they were wealthy, with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver behind them, they might not be willing to take out the 40,000 taels of silver. So what Yang Haiyan had was not only courage, but also vision.
However, Du Ke didn’t know that as a modern person, Yang Haiyan really didn’t value this money.
Of course, the reason she doesn't care about it is because she has money to spend.
Speaking of his wife, Qin Fang was also moved. However, "This time, I have to thank Brother Xingran a lot. If it weren't for him, I would have been stopped when entering the gate of the capital."
Du Ke laughed: "That boy did a good thing, but your wife has repaid his credit. If I'm not mistaken, that boy should be working at the gate of the palace now." Yang Haiyan had already told him about Du Xingran's matter. He arranged Du Xingran in the command camp outside Beijing because it was easier there and his son had no special abilities. He didn't expect that he would encounter the matter of Qin Fang.
And now, after Yang Haiyan's guidance, the boy has really shown his face in front of the emperor. It is still unknown what will happen in the future, but at least it is good now. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but admire that Qin Fang's wife is really smart. If it were a man...
Qin Fang asked: "Master, who do you think is targeting me this time?"
Du Ke shook his head. Even if he knew, he would not tell. Qin Fang was safe here, so he did not need to tell him who the other party was. Moreover, Du Ke really did not know: "Maybe it is someone from another country, worried that our Qi country has the medicine, and will go to war with other countries." Of course, it could also be someone in the court, but if he had to guess an identity, Du Ke really could not guess it. "You don't have to care who the other party is. As long as the emperor likes you, others will not touch you."
Qin Fang said, "Teacher, rest assured, I will be loyal to the emperor." He was sincere. After meeting the emperor this time, he felt that the emperor was a good person and a good emperor, so he was "dead set" on the emperor.
Du Ke said: "That's good. You can go see your wife. Now that you are back, I will also take my leave. The Imperial Grain Plan is not yet finished."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang felt a little reluctant: "Master, are you leaving again? Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Du Ke waved his hand: "When you come to Beijing in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities."
They will all return to the capital sooner or later.
Du Ke left when Qin Fang came back. Qin Fang saw him off to the door and went to find Yang Haiyan. Yang Haiyan already knew he was back, but she didn't bother him because he was meeting Du Ke. However, she stood in the yard and looked at him.
Seeing him appear in her field of vision and striding towards her, she couldn't help but step forward and said, "Husband."
Qin Fang could still walk with big strides at first, but when he saw her, he couldn't help it. He ran, ran to her, and hugged her: "Yan Yan, I'm back, I'm back safely." His voice was suppressed and excited.
Yang Haiyan didn't say anything, but her hands tightly held the clothes around his waist.
The two hugged in the yard for a long time before they gradually calmed down. Yang Haiyan took Qin Fang's hand and walked into the house: "The warm water is ready, husband, go take a shower, I will give you a massage."
Qin Fang hurriedly responded: "Why do you need a massage? You are pregnant, how can you use any strength?"
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "Then I'll wash your hair. You've been in such a hurry, your hair is smelly. Your daughter will be disgusted by it."
Qin Fang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if she dislikes it, as long as you don't dislike it."
Although he said so, Qin Fang still took off his clothes after entering the house. After being married for so long, he would not be embarrassed to take off all his clothes in front of her. He took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub, enjoying his wife washing his hair while taking a bath. Speaking of which, this was the first time Yanyan washed his hair for him. How nice!
Yang Haiyan wet his hair first, then used soap to make bubbles, and then gave him a head massage, while asking: "Husband, have you seen the emperor?"
Speaking of this, Qin Fang began to talk nonstop: "I met him, the emperor is a good man, he..." He also recounted what happened during his stay in the palace in the past few days.
Yang Haiyan smiled faintly and listened to him talk about every detail after meeting the Queen. After he finished, she moved: "Congratulations, husband, you finally met the Queen."
"Ah..." Speaking of this, Qin Fang suddenly remembered something important, "Yan Yan, the emperor has promoted your title. You are now the second-rank Lady Bingyun."
Yang Haiyan was not surprised to receive the emperor's reward. To her, this was secondary, his safety was the most important. "Will my husband blame me for taking the initiative to spend so much money to build roads?"
Qin Fang held her hand, then looked up at her beautiful face: "I'm not a fool, how could I not know that you are doing this for me? Besides... as long as there is enough money, it's fine." Qin Fang felt that the money their family had now was enough.
Yang Haiyan covered his hands with both of hers: "Well, as long as the money is enough, it's fine as long as our family is safe and sound."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After Qin Fang took a shower and dried his hair, Yang Haiyan asked him to take a nap and rest while she prepared food for him. This man probably didn't sleep well when he was in the palace, and only now at home could he sleep more comfortably.
How could Qin Fang sleep well in the palace? He was worried about this and that, and was most worried about things at home, so when he was in the palace, he often stayed awake all night until dawn. This made him fall asleep in a familiar place and smell the familiar smell of the bed. He didn't even know that after he fell asleep, Yang Haiyan came in to help him pull the quilt and sat next to him for a long time.
Qin Fang slept until the middle of the night, and when he woke up, it was dark. He moved and found Yang Haiyan lying next to him and also asleep. He quickly got up and carried Yang Haiyan to the bed. He hadn't slept well these days, so how could she be any better
After carrying the person to the bed, he left the room and saw Nanny Lian still guarding the door. He said, "Nanny, tell me about what happened at home these days."
Aunt Lian: "Hey. The general is not here these few days, and the family is..."
The Qin family didn't know what had happened at home in the past few days. They all thought that Qin Fang was busy with important matters, so now that Qin Fang was back, they didn't think much about it.
There was nothing going on in Yunxiang County, and the Beast Mountain Observatory was under supervision, so Qin Fang joined the road repair after a few days of rest. However, it was only two days before Lord Liu from Hedong Mansion arrived.
Lord Liu had known about the road construction in Yunxiang County for a long time, but he had never been there. Today, he came to see Qin Fang and saw the grand scene of the road construction. For a moment, he felt a little touched. He found Qin Fang among the people who were building the road: "General Qin..."
