What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 465: The Ordinary Wenggang Village



Chapter 465: The Ordinary Wenggang Village

Shangguan Zhenhua and his son rushed back to the capital without stopping. As soon as they arrived in Beijing, Shangguan Zhenhua fell ill.

Gongsun Tianhua came to visit him.

"Old Duke, you have worked hard on this journey."

Shangguan Zhenhua said in a hoarse voice: "I am not afraid of hard work when working for the country, but my health is really not good enough."

Gongsun Tianhua said: "The old Duke is old and has suffered a serious illness. His body can't stand it. Fortunately, his children and grandchildren are very capable and can handle everything. So the old Duke should take a good rest, leave the things in hand to his children and grandchildren, and live out his days at home without worrying about those trivial matters."

Shangguan Zhenhua held the prince's hand and said with emotion: "Thank you, Prince, for thinking about me. I also want to have a good rest, but I feel bored in this Zhenguo Mansion. I want to find another place to retire."

"If you want to go somewhere, just tell me and I will arrange it for you."

"I want to go to Qingquan Village."

Gongsun Tianhua was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Qingquan Village is great, it's a beautiful place with clear water and mountains. The old Duke has a good eye. If you want to go, go ahead. You can stay as long as you want. I will report this to my father."

Someone of such high status as the old Duke cannot leave the capital at will; he must obtain the emperor's consent.

After hearing Gongsun Tianhua's words, Shangguan Zhenhua instantly felt no more pain in his waist and legs, and his mind became clear.

I was full of energy when I left Beijing that day.

Shangguan Peng was about to cry: "Dad, you are actually going to abandon your son and leave!"

Shangguan Zhenhua blew his beard and said, "Bah, what's your tone? It's as if I'm going to die. You stay in the capital and work hard for the emperor. I'm going to Qingquan Village to enjoy myself. I'm so old, and now I have time to enjoy myself. It's not easy for me! You kid should work harder and finish your work as soon as possible. Then you can go out and play! Okay, I won't say anymore. Dad is leaving first. The affairs of the court will be handed over to you young people!"

Shangguan Peng chased after him and said, "Dad, I am an old man too, and I want to retire too!"

At this time, it is no longer possible to deny your age.

It was simply a pipe dream for Shangguan Peng to retire. The Yuan Dynasty was in a period of reconstruction and the more talents the better. Shangguan Peng couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

As soon as Shangguan Zhenhua left, all the work in his hands fell on Shangguan Peng, and Emperor Yuanwu also assigned other tasks to Shangguan Peng.

Shangguan Peng complained bitterly, it was not easy to be the Duke of Zhenguo, he would rather go back to his hometown and be a butcher!

Shangguan Zhenhua hurried to Qingquan Village in a carriage. He did not send any letter by carrier pigeon to Shangguan Tang's family before coming, so when he arrived at Xiao's house, he found that everyone was gone except the servants.

"Where did they go?" Shangguan Zhenhua couldn't believe it. He grabbed Lu Anbang's collar and asked, "Where did my granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and great-grandson go?"

Lu Anbang looked at Shangguan Zhenhua and it took him a long time to recognize him.

Ever since Shangguan Tang's family went to Beijing to meet their relatives, Shangguan Zhenhua has never come to Qingquan Village again. It's not that he doesn't want to come, but that he doesn't have the time.

Lu Anbang found out later that when the masters first came to Beijing, they went to recognize their relatives, and the man in front of him was the grandfather of the female master.

"Reporting to the old master, today is Old Master Su's birthday, and the masters went to the Ye residence early in the morning!"

Although Shangguan Tang's family changed their surnames, the Ye family's residence is still the Ye family's residence.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhenhua immediately rode his horse to Wenggang Village. As soon as he entered the village, he saw that it was extremely lively and a large group of people were heading towards Ye's house.

Seeing Shangguan Zhenhua appear on horseback, the village chief Zhao Fugui immediately stopped him and said, "Riding horses recklessly is not allowed in the village. To avoid bumping into others, please obey the rules of our Wenggang Village."

The roads in Wenggang Village have been repaired, and life is getting better and better. Many families have bought cows and donkeys. Donkey carts, ox carts, horse carts and all kinds of vehicles come and go. When they go too fast, they may hit pedestrians. In order to maintain order in the village and for everyone's safety, the village has formulated driving regulations. All cattle, horses, donkeys, mules and other livestock entering the village are not allowed to run wild in the village and can only drive slowly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhenhua immediately slowed down. Thinking the horse was too slow, he simply dismounted and led the horse while walking, talking to Zhao Fugui and his group.

"Are you also going to Ye's house?" Shangguan Zhenhua asked.

Zhao Fugui nodded: "Yes, are you here to celebrate Mr. Su's birthday as well?"

Shangguan Zhenhua thought about it, nodded and said, "Well, I'm here to celebrate your birthday too."

He glanced around and found that there were a lot of people going to Ye's house, almost everyone in the village had come.

All I heard was Zhao Fugui saying, "Mr. Su is highly respected and is the best teacher in the surrounding villages. All the children in the surrounding villages are Mr. Su's students. Thanks to Mr. Su, Wenggang Village has grown so fast. All the children in the village can read and write. Although not everyone is a good student, they all know a few words, which is much better than other villages. Everyone calls our Wenggang Village the Village of Knowledge!"

The title of "Learning Village" instantly makes the ordinary Wenggang Village become noble and advanced.

Listening to the villagers' praises of Su Yinghuai, Shangguan Zhenhua snorted in his heart.

Old boy, you are quite good at winning people's hearts.

But it has to be said that Su Yinghuai's ability in teaching and educating is indeed amazing.

He is the emperor's teacher!

The people here are very lucky to be taught by the imperial teacher.

After talking for a long time, the villagers still didn't know Shangguan Zhenhua's identity. Zhao Fugui asked casually, and Shangguan Zhenhua replied: "Oh, I'm Shangguan Peng's biological father!"

The villagers looked puzzled: "Who is Shangguan Peng?"

Shangguan Zhenhua then realized that the people here didn't know about his family's situation in the capital, and didn't know Shangguan Peng, so he said, "Shangguan Peng is Ye Peng, and I am his father. After we recognized each other, he changed his last name to Shangguan Peng now!"

The villagers suddenly understood, and Zhao Fugui was extremely surprised: "So you are Tangtang's grandfather! I have heard of you for a long time, I am so sorry for your disrespect! Tangtang told us about recognizing her relatives, and we have always been curious about who her grandfather is. Now that we have seen it with our own eyes, we know that he is such a strong old man!"

The villagers nearby said.

"Brother Peng looks a lot like the old man, and they are obviously father and son!"

Everyone was talking at once, telling Shangguan Zhenhua about Shangguan Tang's family.

Afterwards, Zhao Fugui asked about Shangguan Peng: "Mr. Shangguan, I wonder if Ye Peng, oh, not Shangguan Peng, is he not coming back?"

Shangguan Zhenhua said: "His children and grandchildren are all here, how could he not come back? He just came back a few years later."

"Oh, I'm glad he's back. We all missed him so much."

As they were talking, everyone came to Ye's house.
