After running for two hours in a row, Shen Tang was not tired at all! Regardless of his official position or power, the home with his lover is the place he looks forward to and protects the most! Thinking of his beloved wife at home, Shen Tang wished he could fly directly to Chengdu!
"Sir, we are still fifteen miles away from Fucheng!"
"good!"
Shen Tang waved his whip and said, "Let's go back in one breath! Chen Qian, after arriving at Chengdu Mansion, you guys have a rest for the night! Return early tomorrow morning and report back to General Xin! Tonight, I'll treat you to a drink!"
One of the generals grinned, "Thank you so much, sir!"
Anyway, I can make it back tomorrow, so I’m not in a hurry for this night.
Moreover, we marched all the way last night, and we are also marching all the way today. It would be better to rest for a night so that all the soldiers can have a good sleep.
Furthermore, although they are members of the Xin family army, no one regards Shen Tang as an outsider! Shen Tang invites everyone to drink, how can everyone not respond?
"Look, it's the imperial envoy's imperial command flag!"
As the faint sound of horse hooves sounded, a clerk suddenly shouted.
Sure enough, a plume of smoke suddenly rose in the distance, and a light cavalry appeared in everyone's sight! Not long after, this light cavalry came closer!
"Let's meet your lord!"
"Welcome back, sir..."
The officials and people at the city gate all saluted! Shen Tang dismounted his horse, stepped forward with a smile and said, "I'd like to welcome you all!"
"Sir, please enter the city!"
Tian Guanhua came forward with a smile on his face!
"Walk!"
Shen Tang nodded, and was surrounded by a crowd of people as he entered the city of Chengdu. Many people around him were cheering and drinking. Although Shen Tang had not been in Chengdu for a long time, what he did , has been recognized by the people.
A sedan quietly appeared in the group behind Shen Tang. Zhao Ling and Qingqiu quietly got on the sedan and headed straight for the backyard of the government office!
Others did not notice this scene, but when Tian Guanhua's eyes glanced at Zhao Ling's face, they couldn't help but be stunned, "This ancestor finally left, why did he come back again?"
At the gate of the courtyard of the government office, there was already a maid who opened her eyes wide and looked at what was going on outside! When she saw the sedan running towards her, the maid couldn't help but think about the courtyard and ran back.
"Madams, the princess is here!"
"Let's go, our sister Ling'er is back again, sisters, come with me to greet her!"
Liu Xiangling said with a smile.
Although the women did not know the details of what happened to Zhao Ling, they did know something about it.
They also knew that Zhao Ling and Shen Tang were returning together, so they had already prepared a sedan to take Zhao Ling back first.
Although she wanted to see her husband, there were so many people greeting her, so Shen Tang certainly needed to greet her, and Zhao Ling was not suitable to appear in outside situations.
"Sister Xiangling! Sister Muyu, sister Yue!"
Zhao Ling got off the sedan chair and was extremely happy when she saw several familiar sisters! She walked forward and threw herself into Liu Xiangling's arms regardless of Qingqiu's helpless gaze!
In this line of work, she encountered life and death, and was horrified! Although Shen Tang was guarding her and made her feel at ease, Shen Tang was a man after all, and Liu Xiangling had always played the role of a sister in Zhao Ling's heart. Therefore, the intimacy with Liu Xiangling, Let her mind relax instantly.
"Okay, my sister is back, let's go inside first!"
Liu Xiangling took Zhao Ling's hand and said!
"Sister, your yard has been cleaned up a long time ago, and she has also prepared your favorite Dingsheng cake for you! This time, you will definitely eat enough!"
As the women pulled Zhao Ling in, Wanyan Yue asked from the side, "Where is your husband?"
"Brother Shen said he would deal with his colleagues first, and then come back to have dinner with his sisters!"
Zhao Ling nodded in response.
When the girls heard this, the joy on their faces became even greater!
As Tian Guanhua and others arrived at the government office, looking at the people surrounding him, Shen Tang stopped, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all folks for welcoming me. It's the New Year's Day soon, and Shen is here to wish all the folks at their homes." Harmony, no need to worry about food and clothing! When Shen came to Chengdu, he did not do it for money or power. The only purpose was for the fellow villagers to have enough food and clothing! When the day Shen leaves, if no villager points to me If the back pokes the spine, Shen will be satisfied!"
Shen Tang's intimate words made the people around him smile, and at the same time, a warmth arose in their hearts! When did the aloof official become like this?
How lucky you are to have such a prefect!
"On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I will hold a banquet for seniors and a banquet for children at the same time at the Yamen! Elderly people over sixty and children under kindergarten are welcome to come!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Shen Tang's words once again aroused everyone's joy!
After saying that, Shen Tang bowed his hands to the people around him and said, "Everyone, Shen is tired after returning from the blind date. He hasn't seen his wife yet. Please forgive me and chat with the elders another day." !”
Shen Tang's joking words immediately caused the people present to burst into laughter! For the first time, they felt that these senior officials were flesh and blood and had human touch, instead of being as indifferent as they had felt before!
An old man with gray hair grinned and shouted, and everyone around him suddenly dispersed.
Seeing this, Tian Guanhua on the side couldn't help but said with admiration, "In this world, we are the only ones who are so friendly to the people!"
Shen Tang smiled slightly, "We and other officials, big and small, treat the people as relatives, and they will naturally get close to them.
If we treat them like cattle and sheep, they will naturally distance themselves! But it’s just based on their true intentions!”
Afterwards, a group of people entered the lobby!
After sitting down and chatting for a few words, Shen Tang said to everyone, "It is already the day of rest, but it is because I have returned and disturbed you all.
I can't say it, but I ask you to accuse the family members! It's getting late now, so you should go home and spend time with your family members. I have also returned to the yard.
In the past few days, except for those who are on duty, everyone is taking a good rest at home! I don’t have time to accept your visit!"
The festivals of the Song Dynasty were very similar to those of later generations. Yuan Day was generally a seven- or five-day holiday. However, the Yamen also needed to have someone on duty during the holiday!
"Well, let's first congratulate you on the New Year!"
Tian Guanhua stood up and said, and everyone else also stood up and saluted Shen Tang!
"Okay, you all can go on your own!"
Everyone said goodbye and left. Shen Tang couldn't wait to get up and headed towards the backyard.
It has been two months since I left this time, and I have long been thinking about my beloved wife! After finally coming back, how can Shen Tang still be in the mood to talk nonsense with others?
It’s business to drive the others away and go see your wife quickly...
