The imperial court was shaken, and the city of Chang'an was shaken.
The people were overjoyed and shouted long live the emperor.
Du Ruhui has also returned to Duke Cai's Mansion.
He is calling the servants in the house to move the mattress back.
There was a lot of commotion, and Du Ruhui had been away from home for some time, which quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the house.
"Master, what did you bring back?"
Mrs. Du asked curiously.
She is already in her thirties, but because she takes good care of herself, she looks only twenty-seven, with a supple and charming charm.
"Mattresses, you don't even understand."
Du Ruhui waved his hand.
In addition to mattresses, he also bought a lot of things and brought some gifts for his wife and children.
"Oh, okay."
Mrs. Du stopped asking further questions and helped direct her servants to move things.
"Where's Miao Yan?"
Du Ruhui sat on the main seat in the hall and looked around.
Du He, Du Miaoyun, and Du Gou's three children were all there, but Du Miaoyan was not seen.
"Dad, sister is reading in the study."
Du He responded.
"I only read books every day and don't learn to be a prostitute. How will I get married in the future?"
Du Ruhui said helplessly.
"Dad, while you were away in Chang'an City, eighteen families sent the eldest sister the birthday of their legitimate son."
Du Miaoyun stuck out her cute little tongue and whispered.
The eldest sister is the girl who least worries about marrying in the entire Chang'an City, even if she is not a popular girl.
Because the eldest sister is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City, she is also good at writing and swordsmanship, and is famous among the younger generation of Chang'an City.
Not to mention ordinary people, even relatives of the emperor are trying hard to ask for marriage.
"Then does your sister have a crush on you?"
Du Ruhui suddenly became interested and asked.
"That girl took one look and made people step back."
Mrs. Du came over and interrupted.
The couple is worried about their eldest daughter's marriage.
"This girl, look at me if I don't give her a good talk."
Du Ruhui couldn't sit still.
Get up and walk towards the study.
The eldest daughter is already eighteen years old, which is very old.
My wife married me when she was fifteen years old, and gave birth to her the next year.
If you continue to push back marriage proposals again and again, no one in Chang'an City will dare to propose marriage to the Du family.
Study, the door is not closed.
When Du Ruhui walked in, he saw his daughter reading a book.
"Dad, you're back?!"
Du Miaoyan put down the book, stood up and said with a smile.
"You're a heartless girl, you don't know how to greet your father when he comes back."
Du Ruhui rolled his eyes at his daughter and complained.
"Dad, don't blame me. The servant didn't inform me."
"Come, dad, sit down, and my daughter will give you a pat on the back."
Du Miaoyan smiled sweetly and walked towards Du Ruhui.
Pull him back to where he was sitting just now, stand behind him and give Du Ruhui a back slap.
"You girl..."
Du Ruhui sat down and sighed.
Looking at the medical book that had just been read on the desk, I felt warm in my heart.
The eldest daughter is good at everything, and she also knows that she feels sorry for her old father, but he is still unmarried at such a young age.
In her words, no one is worthy of her. She doesn’t want to have children for anyone, or marry or raise children for anyone.
"Dad, I feel like you look a lot better. What good things happened during this trip to the south?"
Du Miaoyan asked slightly surprised.
Dad's health is very poor, and his body and bones are super old.
But when we met just now, and now when I'm rubbing his back, I feel there is a slight difference.
"Something happened that greatly changed my father's perception..."
Du Ruhui sighed.
Inform Du Miaoyan of what he saw and heard in Wuling County.
Especially describe tea, mattresses, cement, and saltpeter ice making.
"There is such a divine person in the world?!"
Du Miaoyan was shocked.
She knew about tea, but she didn't expect that it could have such effects through changes in the process.
She could also understand how saltpeter was used to make ice, and she couldn't help but sigh that it was really a wonder in the world.
But she couldn't understand mattresses and concrete roads, and even if she thought about it, she had never recorded them in the tens of thousands of books she had read.
Immediately, Du Miaoyan became curious about Fang Yuan who caused all this.
"Before I met him, Dad didn't believe that there could be such a divine person in the world."
"But after meeting him, Dad realized that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and there are all kinds of wonders in the world."
"Dad thinks he is a good man and has a bright future. How about you go and get to know him?"
After Du Ruhui heard his daughter's comments, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Since you have decided to train Fang Yuan, why not train a son-in-law?
Although my daughter has a high vision and looks down on the talented people in Chang'an City, Fang Yuan is by no means an ordinary person.
"Dad, please stop joking."
"My daughter doesn't want to get married, she doesn't want to be someone else's wife, she just wants to be filial to her father."
Du Miaoyan smiled, shook her head and said.
Although there are many wonderful people in the world, they may not be able to make you feel moved.
Moreover, her father's health is not good and she might leave at any time. She doesn't want to get married.
"You girl, dad doesn't need you to be filial!"
Du Ruhui was moved and speechless.
When it comes to having children and taking care of old age, having two men in the family can already fulfill their filial piety.
When my daughter reaches her age, she still hopes to marry into a good family and be happy for the rest of her life.
Du Miaoyan didn't say anything, and she hit Du Ruhui on the back with just enough force, neither lightly nor hard.
"How can there be any saying in life that one should not marry?"
"Dad feels more and more that his health is not good, and he may not have a few years left to live."
"If dad leaves one day, given the situation of our Du family, you won't be so free and willful."
Du Ruhui sighed.
He knows the situation about his body.
The imperial doctor also checked him and he could only rest and recuperate.
But when the new emperor ascends the throne, there are so many things going on in the court, how can I rest?
"Dad!"
Du Miaoyan became a little sad.
She is very open-minded in other aspects, even if she never marries.
But when faced with her father's situation, she really thought about her and hoped to live a long life.
"Go and get to know each other, maybe he is your rightful man."
Du Ruhui advised.
I hope to see my daughter get married in my lifetime.
Even if the target is not Fang Yuan, I still hope that my daughter can find a good home.
After all, if he left, the Du family would not have its current status, and the number of marriage candidates his daughter would seek would drop several levels.
"Well, I understand, Dad."
Du Miaoyan pondered for a long time before nodding.
Yes, we should get to know and know how Pu'er tea is made?
Maybe I can find something in the tea to heal my dad's body and improve my dad's physical condition.
"Just understand."
"But there's no need to rush and leave now."
"He will be promoted to governor soon. You can go after he is transferred."
Du Ruhui couldn't see Du Miaoyan's expression and thought that her daughter finally listened to him and was ready to find a partner.
"You were promoted to governor in your early twenties?"
Du Miaoyan said in surprise.
Even with a monstrous background, promotion is too fast, right?
"You have never seen the roads in Wuling County."
"Flat, solid, without any ups and downs, wider and flatter than Zhuque Street."
"If this kind of road is used in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, the development of the Tang Dynasty will benefit immensely, and supplies can be quickly provided even in times of war."
Du Ruhui sighed.
What worries him most about Wuling County is what research is being done at the Nine-Story Mohist Research Institute, and what makes him want to popularize it nationwide most is cement roads.
Fang Yuan refused to tell him the formula of cement, which gave Fang Yuan more power, and he could promote cement roads to the prefectures and counties he governed.
"Daddy is wise."
Du Miaoyan smiled and said.
She couldn't imagine how good a road it was for her father to praise it so much.
But I was more curious about Fang Yuan and wanted to meet and get to know each other.
