Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The Liu family's prestige in Jingyang is far beyond that of Chang'an.

Moreover, since Di Zhixun was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, a new county magistrate has arrived in Jingyang.

Once he heard that Liu Bai was coming, he would definitely come to visit the pier.

Liu Bai is not interested in him, let alone seeing him, so leave early.

After breakfast, the whole family set off again and went straight to Liujiazhuangzi!

The convoy hadn't even left for a quarter of an hour. A fat man in a seventh-rank official robe led a group of yamen servants and ran to Liuyexuan in a hurry.

Knowing that Liu Bai had just left, the fat man stomped his feet fiercely.

He greeted the yamen servants behind him: "Prepare your horse and go to Liujiazhuang immediately!"

Liujiazhuangzi in the early morning is extremely lively!

The whole Zhuangzi, no matter men, women, old or young, all ran to the archway at the entrance of the village, waiting eagerly.

A few old uncles, carrying walking sticks, sat on the stone pier under the archway, smiling so hard that their teeth could not see their eyes.

"I just said that the Patriarch will come back sooner or later. What is there to do in that poor place in Chang'an City?"

"That's right! After the Patriarch went to Chang'an, we in Jingyang lost our backbone. We used to sell goods in Chang'an City, and the people there treated the folks in our Liujiazhuangzi as our relatives. Now that we have gone, every nostril Staring at the sky, I don’t know, I thought we sold the Patriarch to Chang’an!”

"Now that the Lord is back home, we can't let him run wild anymore. How can there be a comfortable home outside?"

"The second boy of my family is working in the Jinwu Guard. I always hear him say that the city of Chang'an is not peaceful recently. We old bones must discuss it with the owner and stay at home for a while!"

""

"I'm back! The Patriarch is back!"

Someone's brat yelled, and people looked from a distance, and sure enough, there was a convoy heading this way!

People slammed and blocked the archway firmly.

Seeing those familiar faces, Liu Bai in the carriage couldn't help showing a smile.

No matter how good Chang'an City is, Jingyang is his home.

These folks are the ones who can make him open his heart and trust him completely.

He got off the carriage first and came to the archway.

"Homeowner!"

"Patriarch, you are finally back!"

"Patriarch, don't abandon us folks in the future!"

""

Everyone was talking in a hurry.

Liu Bai laughed loudly, "I'm back! I plan to stay at home for a while!"

The oldest and most senior uncle came forward tremblingly.

Liu Bai also hurried forward a few steps and said, "Old uncle, why are you here?"

This old uncle has a little relationship with the Liu family, and is also the most prestigious in the entire Liu family.

Usually when Liu Bai is not around, it is all up to him to take charge.

When Liu Bai first came to Datang, he was "forced into the palace" by a group of merchants. It was the old uncle who led the young people from the village and a group of nurses to block Liu Wan'er.

"After the Patriarch came back, he had a good time to relax for a few days. Hearing from the younger generation, Chang'an City is not peaceful. In a short period of time, we really don't want to go there again."

Liu Bai smiled and said, "Thank you, old uncle, for your concern!"

His voice was very loud, and he was worried that the deaf old uncle would not be able to hear him.

The old uncle's ears are not very good, but his eyes are surprisingly vicious.

He caught sight of Li Yuan who was being helped out of the car at a glance, and said, "So the Supreme Emperor is here too!"

He said to Liu Bai: "Go and comfort the folks, your leaving has made the folks feel a lot of resentment, old man, I'm going to see the Supreme Emperor!"

As he spoke, he glared at Shen Wei behind Liu Bai.

"Things with no eyesight, entered the city, and learned to look higher than the top?"

Shen Wei smiled awkwardly, hurried up to help the old uncle, and brought him to Li Yuan.

The existence of Jin Yiwei is no secret to this most prestigious old man in the Liu Family Zhuangzi.

Because more than half of the people recruited by Jin Yiwei came from the Liu family village.

And these people were almost all selected by the old man himself.

He knew everything about every family in Liujiazhuangzi.

Not to mention Shen Wei, even Wang Shouren was a head shorter when facing this old man.

Chapter 656 The price has increased more than ten times, shouldn't it be too much?

Li Yuan was supported by Chang Le, and got out of the carriage.

Seeing an old man who couldn't be older, walking towards him unsteadily, he immediately went up to meet him.

Concubine Wan Gui followed closely behind, and after she got down, she patted Chang Le on the head with a kind smile on her face.

She hasn't been out of the palace for nearly ten years, and everything she sees feels fresh.

Liujiazhuangzi is the kind of village where chickens and dogs know each other, and the villages are well-connected. Under the strict requirements of the owner, the sanitary conditions are absolutely the highest standard of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Li Yuan's appearance of being very familiar with Liujiazhuangzi, Concubine Wan Gui slightly leaned over and said, "Changle, tell the imperial grandmother, does your imperial grandfather come here often?"

Changle accepted the compliment from the emperor's grandmother, feeling extremely beautiful in his heart, and casually said: "The emperor's grandfather opened a winemaking workshop in the Liu family village, and the hottest Jingchun wine in Chang'an City is the emperor's grandfather's property!"

Concubine Wan Gui was stunned, her face looked a little unnatural.

I don't know if it's because Li Yuan is doing business behind her back, or for some other reason

She looked at Li Yuan with dissatisfaction in her eyes, but then, she saw the old man who was talking to Li Yuan, and walked over quickly.

Goose-skinned and white-haired, with big folds all over his face, he looks somewhat similar to Guiguzi in the portrait, at least he is in his nineties, he may be the oldest person in Datang.

She represents the face of the royal family, but if she goes to show her face, she will not be able to show the bearing of a royal person.

After all, this is Liu Bai's domain, Concubine Wan Gui knows Liu Bai's importance to the royal family well, so she has to save face.

She walked behind Li Yuan, and after listening for a while, she was shocked to find that this old man was actually the leader of the entire wine making industry in Guanzhong!

This is the first time I heard that eight or ninety-year-olds are still in business!

As expected of a fellow of Liu Bai's family

No wonder Li Yuan was so polite to others.

His winemaking workshop in Liujiazhuangzi probably depends on this old man to make a fortune.

Seeing that Li Yuan did not introduce herself for a long time, Concubine Wan Gui, who was already holding her breath, became even more upset.

"Your Majesty, this is"

Li Yuan did not introduce the old man to Concubine Wan Gui, but told the old man who Concubine Wan Gui was.

"Brother Ang, this is Zhuojing!"

Among the tens of hundreds of women in Li Yuan's harem, the only ones he could call 'Clumsy Jing' were the late Taimu Empress Dou Shi, and Concubine Wan Gui in front of him.

"See the imperial concubine!"

The old uncle saluted tremblingly.

Concubine Wan Gui hurriedly said: "Old man, don't be too polite!"

Datang's tolerance for the elderly has reached the extreme.

Seventy without breaking the rules does not mean that people over the age of 70 will not break the rules.

Rather, there are no rules in the world that can restrain the elderly over the age of 70

The Tang Dynasty founded the country with kindness and filial piety, and the older it was, the more respected it was.

The old uncle had just celebrated his [-]th birthday, two and a half rounds older than Li Yuan.

Li Yuan called him 'brother', and it was still taking advantage of him.

It is estimated that even Li Yuan's father Li Ying, who has been dead for more than 50 years, is anxious to see Xianqian.

In contrast, Concubine Wan Gui is even more 'tender'.

For a 90-year-old old man, if he salutes the younger generation, no matter how noble his status is, Concubine Wan Gui will lose all face.

When people grow old, they are talking about old uncles.

When Concubine Wan Gui came over just now, he saw the dissatisfaction on Concubine Wan Gui's face.

He grinned and said: "It's my Liu family's Zhuangzi's honor to be able to come. The Supreme Emperor always said that he would bring his wife to the Zhuangzi to live for a while."

Concubine Wan Gui's expression became even more unnatural.

She glanced at Li Yuan, and said: "I never thought that His Majesty would still think about my concubine, and I must taste His Majesty's Jingchun Noodles later!"

When she said the word 'Jingchun', Concubine Wan Gui's tone was very heavy.

I don't know what these two words mean.

Li Yuan touched his nose in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Liu Bai stood not far away, shrugging his shoulders, wanting to laugh but feeling a little inappropriate.

It is not a big deal to use the name of the wine to commemorate an unknown sunset red relationship.

But being discovered by the eldest wife, it's not a small matter

It was only after Liu Bai fed Li Yuan too much that he realized how fiercely an old lady named Jing Chun fought with the Supreme Emperor back then.

It is said that the position of Concubine Wan Gui was almost squeezed out back then.

Seeing Li Yuan keep winking at him, Liu Bai held back a smile and walked over to smooth things over.

"She has already prepared refreshments, why don't you invite me first?"

Concubine Wan Gui knew that she had to save face for Li Yuan in front of outsiders.

He snorted lightly, called Liu Wan'er, Liu Rong'er, Changle and the girls, and walked towards the Liu family's old house.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly gave Liu Bai a thumbs up, and then said to his old uncle, "Brother Wu, come in and have a seat?"

The old uncle smiled and said: "The Patriarch is back, there are still many things to be arranged in the village, how about waiting for the afternoon, the old man will accompany the Supreme Emperor, and go to the winery?"

"Okay, brother Ang, go slowly"

Back home, arrange what should be arranged, and what should be tidied up.

Liu Rong'er, who is in charge of the family, is in charge of everything else, except for the study room, which needs to be cleaned by Liu Bai himself.

All the juniors have been driven to the academy, and there is no one to do anything about them.

Others don't know the way of Liu Bai's books, if they put them in the wrong place, they won't be able to find them after a while.

For most of the day, Liu Bai didn't do anything else, and spent all of it in the study.

When it was almost time for dinner, I took out my beloved silver pot from the cage and placed it on the tea stand next to the desk. This was finally done.

Liu Bai was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, lying on the chair not wanting to move.

So much so that when Li Yuan walked in, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Without outsiders around, you don't have to worry about anything when you speak.

"The tea is on the shelf, the pot is on it, and there is clean spring water in the tube in the corner, please help the old man to do it yourself."

Li Yuan smiled, took all the things over indifferently, and made tea by himself.

Not only did he not feel that Liu Bai's words were rude, but he actually enjoyed it.

"The old man has just returned from the brewery, and they have developed a new technology, which can produce at least 4000 catties a day. The old man plans to open dozens of wineries in one go and sell Jingchun Niang to other places."

As he said, he skillfully lit the fire, boiled the water, washed the tea, and brewed the tea. His skills were no worse than those of the guys in Liuyexuan.

No need to think about it, he planned to use the Liu family's channel to open up sales in other places.
