Chapter 548: Do you like the gift you gave me? (Update 1)
Fukang stood at the dock, stretched his neck, and looked at the big ship that had docked.
At this moment, familiar old faces appeared one after another. The Tong family's Dalang, a rough man as strong as a bear, was the first to stand at the pier.
Soon Cai Laoliu also came to the pier. When he saw the two people, Fukang was naturally embarrassed to turn a blind eye and hurried forward to salute the two people.
"I have met Tong Dalang and Cai Liulang. May I ask you two, where are their young masters?"
"My young master has just been asked to sail. It's right over there. It's obviously not far from the dock. He has to go to a place like that to sail."
Cai Laoliu turned around and pointed behind him with a look of disgust. He always felt that his senior brother might be doing something shady, so he was so sneaky that he sailed ahead of schedule without even bringing anyone with him.
Is it possible that my senior brother’s old friend from Bianliang in Tokyo came and he was afraid that she would get into a fight with Mrs. Fang who was on the boat, so he went to the east boat in advance to try to appease her?
Thinking of this, Cai Laoliu even had the urge to turn back on the boat and remind the charming young lady Fang Baihua that she was too strong and too tall.
It would be one of the joys of life if we could see two women beating up our senior brother's flirtatious young man.
"He was a little suspicious. He was afraid that my young master would do something shady, so he decided to sail to the east in advance..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Fu'an's head sticking out of the side of the ship.
"Brother, the young master just met someone from the Imperial City Department. Please tell me if you can come over and join us later."
Fukang looked at Cai Laoliu, who was maliciously speculating on his son's whereabouts, with a dark look on his face. He really wanted to be beaten.
"Imperial City Division, what about those people..."
Cai Laoliu, who considered himself a serious scholar, twisted his lips and walked towards the oncoming butler of the Cai Mansion with disdain on his face.
"Where's his dad?"
The housekeeper of the Cai Mansion had a smile on his face. He had just bent to the east to salute, and was stunned by Cai Laoliu's words.
Fortunately, he knew his own Liulang's nature well, so the housekeeper quickly apologized with a smile.
"Liu Lang, Prime Minister Mingyue has official duties, so I specially asked this old man to come and pick you up, Liu Lang."
"Okay, brother Zhisheng, I will go back home first. Let's meet Mingyue at the same place."
Tong Zhisheng over there waved his legs to indicate that he knew.
On the high ground next to the dock, Gao Qiu was standing next to the carriage. Inside the carriage was Mr. Huang, and there was a cute little baby being held in the arms of the wet nurse.
At this moment, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but lift the curtains and poke her head around to ask.
"Husband, has their ship arrived?"
"We've arrived, and we're on the east side of the ship. Oops, I saw that boy Tong Dalang.
He's very much like the sixth son of the Cai family, eh, Fu'an is very like Lu Qian, he's very like a girl..."
"I haven't seen a living person like our Zhang'er?"
Mr. Huang said anxiously, and Gao Qiuyi's face was full of doubts. He saw the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick, but he really didn't see his own Wen Quxing.
"Madam, don't worry, Fukang has already received them and is heading that way."
"That girl is so tall. I'm afraid she's probably the young lady from the Fang family that that guy Fu'an was talking about."
At that time, Mrs. Huang couldn't care anymore, so she simply got out of the carriage and stood beside her husband.
Then he saw the tall, slim girl with picturesque features, her head hanging down in embarrassment.
Fu'an on the side kept pointing in that direction, and then he didn't know what to say.
Looking at the girl's fertile figure, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but become kind-hearted.
"Husband, our Zhang'er is very discerning. Apart from being a bit tall, there really isn't anything wrong with that little lady."
"Well, none of her brothers are talented. They all served under Zhang'er before..."
Gao Qiu was also quite satisfied, as his son's aesthetics were indeed similar to his own.
"Ru Ming has been entrusted with important responsibilities by Zhang'er. I also know that Zhang'er runs a lot of business in Suzhou."
"We have also sent a lot of people to our husband, but if Hai Zai has a lot of overseas business, even if we are husband, we don't have that capability..."
After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Huang's face became more and more proud, as if she was worthy of being ruthless, she must be capable.
At such a young age, not only did he find himself such a beautiful and fertile young lady, he was also able to find so many helpers, which was much better than when his father was young.
The group of people walked gradually, and Huang saw two little children side by side, looking over there with confusion and curiosity on their faces. They seemed to be about eleven or twelve years old.
At that time, Fukang was the first to rush back to report. After finding out whether his ruthless man had just been invited by Yang Duzhi, the director of the Imperial City Division, he would meet at the dock in a moment.
Gao Qiu raised his eyebrows. Not many people knew whether Yang Xiong of the Imperial City Department could have followed Zhang Er eastward to the south of the Yangtze River according to the order.
It is enough to show that the officials valued the ruthless Gao Zhang. If he appeared there at that time, could that person have also come?
Gao Qiu, who was suspicious in his heart, couldn't help but raise his eyes and look into the distance. He had resisted the urge to go over and have a look.
If the official really wanted to ask Zhang'er for something, it wouldn't be a good idea to go there on his own. Anyway, he would naturally know when Zhang'er comes home.
Having said that, did the official hint to him before that after Zhang'er returned to Bianliang, Tokyo, he would beg him to entrust him with important tasks?
When I think about the fact that Zhang'er, who is still a young man, has become one of the four rare high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty, does he really want to become an important official in the court as a young man?
#####
The two masters and apprentices chatted for half an hour on the bank of the canal. The official took a look at the sky, and then patted Gao Zhang on the shoulder with lingering interest.
"I'll go over first. My parents are already here. It won't be right to make them wait any longer."
"I'll take a good rest for a few months first. Then, when I look back, I'll entrust you with this important task."
Gao Zhang obediently bowed deeply to the official Zhao Ji and replied.
"A good master, my disciples will definitely live up to my master's kindness and cruelty."
Official Zhao Ji smiled with satisfaction, raised his leg to the side and said hello.
"Yang Jian, bring over the gift I prepared for Xiao Gao."
Yang Jian hurried to the front, holding a small sandalwood box in both hands and handed it to the official Zhao Ji.
Official Zhao Ji handed the sandalwood box into Gao Zhang's lap, and then raised his chin proudly.
"Come, let me open it and take a look. Do you like the gift your teacher gave me?"
Gao Zhang also curiously opened the sandalwood box and saw a seal inside.
After picking it up curiously, I saw that the bottom of the seal was engraved with four Chinese characters in the same thin gold body: Out, General and In.
