The welcome team continued to the city and led to the north of the city, and it was grand to the extreme.

Du Yong took a look at the opportunity to turn the corner, and the three carriages went directly to Fengyang Hou Mansion. When the turn, it attracted the attention of many people, but they didn't take it seriously, because everyone was most concerned about Nie Qingyun, and they were discussing what reward Nie Qingyun could get this time.

The old lady and Du Zongcheng were both at home. When they heard that Du Yong suddenly came back, they were very happy and immediately went to the big living room to meet.

"Old lady, uncle!"

Du Yong was instructing the housekeepers and servants to bring gifts. After seeing the old lady and Du Zongcheng, he quickly bowed and said hello.

The old lady took a few steps forward and pulled Du Yong to look around. Seeing that he had become much darker, but he also became much stronger, she was very relieved, but she said a complaint: "You kid, you have been there for so long, and now you know that you are really heartless when you come back."

In fact, Du Yong wrote a lot of letters, which would tell you about the length of the family and the general situation of Ganzhou. The old lady would read it every time. She knew that the situation in Ganzhou was very tense some time ago. Du Yong must have no time as a cavalry lieutenant, so she would not blame him if Du Yong did not come back. She said this because she was worried about Du Yong's safety.

Du Yong certainly understood the old lady’s thoughts and smiled silly: “Thank you for your concern!”

After saying that, he helped the old lady sit down.

Du Zongcheng changed his usual serious appearance, poured Du Yong a cup of tea before sitting down, and chuckled, "It's good to come back, why are you bringing so many things? It's expensive and laborious."

Du Yong took a sip of tea and explained with a smile: "It's all local products, which are not expensive or effortless. It was handled by Yang Jin and the others. When they came back, they were pulled by carriage. The situation is much more stable now, so the official road that we took throughout the journey is quite cheap."

Du Zongcheng asked, "Nie Qingyun went to the Ministry of Rites. Why didn't you follow him in such a glorious place?"

Du Yong shook his head: "General Nie returned to Beijing to report his duties, but I came back with leave, so why don't you have the nerve to follow him to the Ministry of Rites?"

Speaking of this, Du Yong said curiously: "Uncle, what reward has the Ministry of Rites proposed to General Manager Nie?"

Du Zongcheng asked with great interest: "You care very much?"

Du Yong smiled and nodded, "Of course I care. I'm doing things under General Nie, and it's quite smooth. If he is crowned as the king, the position of General Ganzhou will change hands. I have to talk to the new general manager in advance."

Du Zongcheng was quite pleased after hearing this, laughed loudly, and after a while he returned to calm, he said in a deep voice: "Nie Qingyun's position as the general manager of Ganzhou will definitely not move in a short period of time, because to ensure stability, he has the ability to lead troops and has a high prestige in Ganzhou. It is quite difficult to choose a replacement."

Du Yong said oh and murmured: "That's the one who is not Wang Feng?"

Du Zongcheng smiled and said, "I heard from your second uncle that the Ministry of Rites has a headache from top to bottom, and Your Majesty has no accurate statement, so there is no specific plan yet. The Ministry of Rites wants to explore Nie Qingyun's attitude first."

"Take the attitude of General Manager Nie?"

Du Yong frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Why didn't the Ministry of Rites ask the cabinet for instructions?"

Du Zongcheng said lightly: "It is the Cabinet's instruction to let the Ministry of Rites communicate with Nie Qingyun first."

Du Yong thought about it and couldn't help but mutter, "Play the ball."

The old lady laughed: "Xiao Yong, what does it mean to play the ball?"

Du Yong thought for a while and explained: "That's right, the cabinet boss doesn't want to express his opinions, and he is afraid that it will affect him in the future, so he kicked the matter back to the Ministry of Rites."

The old lady's face changed and she frightened: "I dare not talk nonsense. How can a child judge the important officials of the cabinet casually?"

"yes!"

Du Yong nodded, but he was still a little careless on the surface and said with a smile: "Isn't this at home, and there are no outsiders."

Du Zongcheng also laughed: "Old lady, it's not that serious, and Xiao Yong is no longer a child now. After he went down, he had fought several battles."

The old lady looked at Du Yong a few more times and sighed: "I've grown up. I still remember the way you were snot when you were a child, so I just blinked my eyes."

"yes!"

Du Zongcheng accompanied him to sigh for a few words, and soon recounted Nie Qingyun's topic and asked: "Did Nie Qingyun communicate with you before about the reward?"

Du Yong nodded: "I just talked a few words, but I couldn't see what he was thinking."

Du Zongcheng didn't ask any more questions.

Du Yong asked with concern: "How is your little aunt?"

Speaking of this, both the old lady and Du Zongcheng were very happy. The latter replied: "Now she is very precious and has a big temper. She changes her temper every day and wants delicious food. She also says it's boring to stay at home and always wants to go shopping, but how dare I let her go out."

Du Yong said, "It's always good to be careful."

After having a meal at the Marquis’ Mansion, Du Yong said goodbye and went home.

Although I haven't been home for a long time, my house is still clean because the servants are still there and I clean them every day.

After washing off the dust, Du Yong just wanted to have a good sleep, so he went to the backyard loft early.

Qingyao and Lingling were also a little tired, but they were also very excited and didn't want to rest so early, so they went out shopping.

As for Yang Jin and the others, they brought enough silver notes and directly rushed to Fenghualou.

Du Yong slept until noon the next day before he woke up. He was exhausted and felt refreshed.

Today I am going to meet Du Zongye and Du Zonglong, and there is still a car of gifts left, and I will be able to finish it in the afternoon.

Du Zongye is the Minister of Rites. He is very busy now. He has never seen him, and Du Qiong has not seen him either. Du Yong put down the gift, chatted with his second aunt for a few more words before saying goodbye.

Du Zonglong's family is at home today. When Du Yong came to the house, they were drinking to celebrate Du Mou.

“It’s just right here!”

Du Zonglong pulled Du Yong over, pressed it on his seat, and stuffed a jar of wine directly.

Du Yong looked at the huge jar of wine in his hand and was amused and laughed: "Uncle Fourth, are you trying to kill me?"

Du Zonglong laughed: "Stop talking nonsense, today is a happy day, so you should drink."

Du Yong looked at Du Mou and asked happily: "Brother Mou, what reward did you get? Is it so happy to be the fourth uncle?"

Du Mou grabbed his head and felt a little embarrassed, but there was an irrepressible smile on the corner of his mouth: "It hasn't been announced yet, but the superiors have promised to promote me to the team leader as soon as possible."

"sharp!"

Du Yong gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's time to drink a jar. The team leader of Weiwei Temple is much more glorious than my cavalry."

After saying that, he met Du Mou for a while, and then took a big drink.

Du Mou also took a big sip and said modestly: "How dare I compare with Brother Yong, you are a celebrity in front of General Manager Nie. It's only a matter of time before you can become successful."

"I'm still far away!"

Du Yong waved his hand and said lightly: "Only the magistrate of Nie Wentao will be successful!"

Du Zonglong knew that Du Yong was reminding him that Nie Wentao had defected to Nie Qingyun, and remembered it silently in his heart, praising: "Xiao Yong, you have done a good job in the Qianzhou General Administration Office and won glory for the Du family. The fourth uncle is proud of you. General Administration Officer Nie must be modest, not lose etiquette, and not put your attitude too low, and be neither humble nor arrogant."

"yes!"

Du Yong nodded humbly and said seriously: "Thank you, Uncle Fourth for your advice!"

Drinking at Du Zonglong's house, Du Yong was drunk until evening, and was supported by Yang Jin and walked home slowly.

Du Yong thought of going home and going to bed directly, but he didn't know that the guest was coming. It was Xie Caiyan.

Lingling and Qingyao accompanied each other, having tea and snacks.

"Miss Xie!"

Du Yong greeted him. Seeing Xie Caiyan looking over seriously, he woke up most of the wine instantly. He sat down and asked carefully: "Miss Xie is visiting the humble house late at night, I wonder what is the price to do?"

Xie Caiyan smelled Du Yong's smell of alcohol, wrinkled his little nose, and suffused with his hand: "How much have you drunk?"

Du Yong replied casually: "There are not many, only a few jars."

"Oh my goodness!"

Lingling and Qingyao both opened their mouths wide. They knew that Du Yong had a good alcohol tolerance, but there were indeed a few jars of them.

"I'll cook sober soup!" Qingyao stood up.

"Need not!"

Du Yong stopped her and explained: "It's good to just do it. If you drink sobering soup, you may not be able to sleep later."

Turning to Xie Caiyan, he asked, "Miss Xie, what's the matter with me?"

Xie Caiyan said angrily: "If you have nothing to do, can't you find you? No matter what, we are good friends, are we?"

The three words "good friend" are the accent. Du Yong felt a little unpleasant. He picked up a cup of tea and knocked his legs: "Since he is a good friend, don't hide it. If you have something to say, try to help me if I can."

"It's true to be loyal!"

Xie Caiyan was very happy, and then smiled: "Du Yong, I heard that you have a great say in the Qianzhou General Administration?"

"without!"

Du Yong shook his head and said lightly: "I am just a little cavalryman. It is okay to open a back door on some small things, but the right to speak seems too much."

Xie Caiyan frowned and thought for a while, murmured: "In other words, there is still a certain amount of energy?"

Du Yong nodded and was curious: "What do you want to do?"

Xie Caiyan gritted his teeth and whispered: "I want you to hide someone for me."

Du Yong didn't think much and joked: "You want to hide people. Are you your friend? You can't be the one who committed a crime? Let's just say it first, I won't do anything that breaks the law. I'm a good citizen."

As soon as the word "good people" was released, everyone started to laugh.

"I'm still a good citizen, who doesn't know that you are the most thief."

Xie Caiyan complained a few times and said seriously: "The person I want to hide is not illegal. He is my best friend. She may be forced to marry and she is so nervous."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yong was shocked, his head shaking like a rattle: "I can't control marriage and love affairs, I can't control it, that's absolutely not."
