The trip was rather hasty.
After taking most of the money from the mansion and giving orders to the conscientious female steward, Tang Hao finished explaining the things in the mansion.
He invited the imperial edict from the king of Tang, informed the government of Yangzhou, and prepared Tang Hao''s residence in Yangzhou.
The two wives of the family were not idle. They made a final farewell to their relatives and friends in their respective mansions.
Finally, three days later, the Marquis family set foot on the carriage to Yangzhou.
This is the old officials who were responsible for making contributions outside the imperial city. After hearing the news that Tang Hao had traveled to Yangzhou, they came back at the first time to say goodbye.
The ancient city wall still stands behind, with soldiers in gold armor and halberd, with helmet tassels on their heads, standing majestically at the head of the city and on both sides of the road.
The king of Tang, with all the officials who came to see them off, stood outside the open city gate and watched the servants load their bags into the carriage one by one.
Eighteen riders dressed in black stood by the horse and stood quietly behind Tang Hao.
At the last moment, the two women with firm tone couldn''t help feeling nostalgic in their hearts and ran to their relatives.
Li Wanqing threw herself into Hongfu''s arms and held back her tears.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried into tears.
Hongfu kept asking whether she had brought all the necessary things on the way, and kept wiping the tears on Li wanqingxiu''s face.
After a few months, Tang Hao''s father-in-law finally stood in front of Tang Hao again.
The father-in-law, who had always been silent, didn''t have much words. He patted Tang Hao on the arm with a big hand and his eyes were red.
"Hao''er, I support you about shipbuilding."
"Men should aim at all corners of the world. The tomorrow of Datang depends on you young talents."
He paused and put down his big hand. Li Jing''s voice was a little choked.
"The land of Yangzhou is helpless and cherishes itself."
"We are in Chang''an, waiting for you to return."
Just a few words, simple and sincere, not too much sensational.
Like an elder''s ardent expectation of his younger generation, and like a father''s silent care for his children.
At this moment, Tang Hao''s heart has set off a wave.
Although he was his father-in-law, he felt the same as his father. The past scenes flooded into his heart. Tang Hao''s eyes were slightly sour and moved tears came out.
Without a magnificent declaration, Tang Hao whispered and nodded heavily.
Hongfu asked Li Wanqing to say a few words. Yingying came and sorted out Tang Hao''s sweater, just like her mother.
"Hao''er, my mother-in-law owes you an apology for the past. It''s my mother-in-law''s fault."
Gently shook her arm and interrupted Tang Hao''s words to explain. Hongfu raised her head slightly and flowed in her eyes.
"It''s a hard journey to Yangzhou. Wan''er entrusted it to you."
"Wan''er is strong-natured and stubborn. Sometimes you don''t have to be angry, even if it''s the request of your mother-in-law."
Tang Hao held Hongfu''s arm. At this moment, he could understand his worry as a mother and nodded heavily.
"Don''t worry, mother-in-law. I will take good care of Wan''er."
Hongfu nodded gently and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were full of love.
"Hao''er, my mother-in-law knows that you have high aspirations. My mother-in-law doesn''t understand and won''t say much about shipbuilding."
"As long as you remember, regardless of success or failure, you are the son-in-law of our Li family."
"If you don''t like living there, don''t try to be strong. There are our Li family in Chang''an to support you."
At this point, Hongfu had sobbed and tears rustled down.
The plain hand wiped away the tears of the continuous line. Hongfu took a breath, calmed her mood, and looked at Tang Hao with red eyes.
"Our family is thinking of you and thinking of you!"
At this time, the nagging didn''t sound wordy at all. It melted into Tang Hao''s heart a little, turned into a touch of moving and haunted his eyes.
Tang Hao sucked the wings of his nose and tried not to let the tears in his eyes fall.
The glory of family affection brushed away all the unhappiness before, and a warm feeling flowed in my heart.
"Don''t worry, mother-in-law! The child will go and return early!"
After saying goodbye to Hongfu, the king of Tang walked slowly. Instead of the dignity of the past, he had a touch of kindness on his face.
Tang Hao''s eyes met, and the king of Tang patted Tang Hao on the shoulder. His words were kind and there was no threat.
"Take care of everything. Go there and take good care of zhier."
"Success or failure depends on heaven. Just come back."
The homely dialogue has no superior tone, just like an elder''s endless care for his younger generation.
Tang Hao''s heart surged. He held back the tears he was about to shed, bowed deeply and bowed his hands.
Eldest sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, an old minister, came slowly. Tao was reluctant to give up and said all the words.
Wen Chen''s words always bring a touch of sadness, which makes Tang Hao shed a few tears.
Yuchi Jingde, a veteran of Gao Shilian, is so heroic that beating his back and shoulder makes Tang Hao feel more resolute.
Bid farewell to the old ministers in turn. Tang Hao stood by the carriage, bowed respectfully in the face of the hot sun and the dry wind.
Then he turned around and jumped into the carriage.
The carriage moved slowly. Through the dancing curtain, I vaguely saw the king of Tang wipe the corners of his eyes. Li Jing, who was beside her, stopped and waved with a tearful Hongfu.
There was a sound in the breeze, with a touch of cavity.
"Wan''er, Hao''er, go early and return early."
Tang Hao wiped the corners of his eyes, looked at the distant relatives, looked at the farther and farther Chang''an city wall, and said silently in his heart.
"Goodbye, Chang''an."
