Chapter 665
"I took the liberty last time in the primary school and took your brother's clothes. In order to express my apology and my promise to your brother, I sent some."
Zhang De stepped aside and let the group of people carrying the big box come in.
"There are not many things. They are not expensive items. There are clothes here, good tonics, and some strange things. I don't know what my uncle and aunt like, so I just brought some here."
Mr. Zhou is a down-to-earth person. He grew up in the village. Although he has lived in the city for five years, his deep-rooted thoughts have not changed.
"Isn't it just a piece of clothing? If you like, you can take it. Why send these items?"
Zhang De also smiled considerately, and became even more respectful towards Master Li's mother, whom he had never met before.
Mr. Zhou was not brainless. He knew that his son was having a difficult time in the court, and he was very fond of Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhou did not really take him seriously because of Zhang De's flattery.
"No, no, that's not possible. If you are really like this, we can only return these items. It's just a piece of tattered clothing. If you like, you can take it away."
Zhang De became more and more respectful to Zhou and Li Yi.
"I have never heard that Mr. Li has such a heroic father. Today I saw that he is indeed a tiger father with no dog son. I really admire Zhang."
Li Yi has never lived in the capital. Even though he is now a general, he still doesn't know many rules. After all, he has been in the army all year round and he is quite bold.
"I have never met Mr. Zhang in my humble position, so please forgive Mr. Zhang."
Li Yi was even more energetic now. After returning from victory, he was made a general again.
When he returned to Beijing this time, he couldn't wait to go home. When he returned to Lijiacun, he did not see his wife, children, and children, but found that earth-shaking changes had taken place in his home.
Originally, my home was just a mountain valley, and even thieves would not go into the village. Now, the entire village is booming, and even the county seat surrounds the village.
This time Li Yi went home and didn't even touch the door.
The entire village has been renovated a long time ago. What is incredible is that every household has built a small Western-style building, and the original location of his house has been built magnificently.
When he carefully knocked on the door, a dignified general stood at the door stiffly and asked if this was his home, he felt uneasy in his heart.
There was only his wife in charge of the family, and there was no man. The children were still young, and there was no news from him for several years.
Li Yi was very worried, afraid that his wife would remarry, that his children would be killed, and that the four of them would not be able to survive in this world.
He is not a responsible man and feels somewhat guilty about his family.
But unexpectedly, a group of young men came out of the house. After asking about his identity, they actually pointed him to the capital.
He really couldn't imagine that such a huge change had occurred in his family.
The son is now a second-rank official, a few steps higher than him. The younger son is currently studying at the Capital School, and the whereabouts of the only daughter are unknown.
Li Yi was hit hard. Looking at the magnificent courtyard and the prosperity of the entire village, several young men inside actually said that these were his daughter's properties.
Is he dreaming?
This dream seems a little too incredible.
He rode back to the capital overnight and went straight to Li's Mansion without going anywhere.
Fortunately, this is not a dream. Except for my daughter, the children are all fine.
Not long after I got home, Mr. Zhang came over. I didn't expect that the chief minister of the dynasty would be so young.
"Sir, you don't have to be polite. If it's just because of a piece of clothing, there's no need to be so polite."
Zhang De waved his hand quickly: "More than that, when I heard that my uncle was back this time, I definitely came to visit. After all, you are still..."
Zhang De pursed his lips and smiled, obviously there was something in his words.
"Master Zhang, there is no need to be so polite. You spend a lot of money just for a piece of clothing. How will other officials think about it?"
Li Yuelan didn't expect that Zhang De would come home at this juncture, and would come again, with such a big fanfare.
Although Zhou and Li Yi had never met Zhang De, they were impressed by his humility and respect.
"Since you're here, just sit inside the room and don't stand outside."
Mrs. Zhou invited Zhang De into the house, and the warmth made Zhang De feel like he had met his mother.
When his mother was still alive, she cared deeply about him.
"Okay Auntie, be careful, there is a rock under your feet."
Seeing Zhang De's increasing attentiveness, Li Yuelan became more serious. She followed him back to the house, only to hear Zhang De and his mother chatting about everyday things.
"As soon as I heard that Mr. Li had a mother, I brought you ginseng tonic. This stuff is very good for people of your age. I heard that the wife of the Xu family eats it day and night.
Shenling tonic ointment, look at her fair and beautiful skin, this is the most effective thing."
With a wave of Zhang De's hand, his men understood and took out a large box of Ginseng Tonic Ointment from a box.
"It stands to reason that your Yuezhu is so capable, so he doesn't need a few bucks. This ginseng tonic ointment can be sold everywhere, but my baby is different. He only produces 30 kilograms a year. No, it's all here.
.”
Zhang De placed the thirty kilogram box of Shenling Tonic on the table.
"Although they are just gadgets, they can be regarded as my thoughts."
Zhang De took out another small jar: "Your tea garden has also produced new tea recently, and I drank those tea leaves. This girl Yuezhu is really good. Not only is the shop well-kept, but the products are also first-class."
.”
Zhang De took out the box and put only five taels of tea leaves in it.
"However, Yuezhu's business is all selling to wealthy families, and I have to pay tribute to the tea, so I can't get more than a few kilograms a year. I just came down and brought it to you so that you can have a taste."
Zhou was confused by this incident.
"Why do you kid spend so much money for no reason? I don't need any of these things. I am also an old woman. I have been running for forty years. I am already a person who has only half a leg to step into the coffin. My only wish now is
The children are safe, you child, take these things back and honor your parents."
Zhou really couldn't carry so many things, it was just a robe.
When Zhang De heard what Zhou said, he wiped away tears.
"Auntie, you don't know something. My mother passed away five years ago. When she was alive, she was just like you, teaching her in her nephew's ears. But at that time, my nephew was naughty and refused to change despite repeated teachings. He didn't understand until she passed away.
Her love for me."
Zhang De's voice became miserable, and he looked extremely sad.
"My mother was murdered by a gangster. The man actually cut off her head and did not leave a whole body for my mother."
