In just ten days, the city of Tokyo was already within reach.

"We're finally here!" The three of them reined in their horses and stopped, looking at the towering towers in front of them, with smiles on their faces.

"Let's go!" Wang Zhong dismounted, pulled the reins, and said with a smile, "Go back to Sweet Water Lane first!"

Although it was almost evening, the number of pedestrians walking on the street was much less than at other times, but there was still an endless stream.

Tianshui Lane is in the outer city, not far from the city gate. It will be there in a short time.

"Zi Hou?"

Wang Zhong had just walked to the door of his home when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw Gu Er, who was a head taller than before, standing by the bridge road, looking at him with a surprised look on his face.

"Zhong Huai?"

"Zihou!" Gu Er immediately laughed and came up to hug Wang Zhong. Gu Er said reproachfully: "Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

Wang Chong said with a smile: "I received a temporary decree from the government, ordering me to return to the capital to report on my duties. I left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to write a letter. But I managed to give you and Zicheng a surprise."

"Hahahaha!" Gu Er laughed and said, "If Zicheng knew that you were back, I'm afraid he would be so happy that he would be confused."

"Come in and have a glass of wine. Let's chat while eating!" Wang Zhong invited.

Gu Er shook his head and said: "You have been so busy all this time, so you'd better go back to tidy up, wash up, and change into looser clothes. My yard is next to it. Go back first and say hello. I'll be there later.

Come find you again!"

"Wait, is your yard next to it? What's going on with you?" Wang Zhong asked.

"Uh..." Gu Er hesitated for a moment, and then spoke in a much lower voice: "I built a yard next to your house and put my family here."

"Family?" Wang Zhong was shocked. It couldn't be that Zhu Manniang, could it?

"Outer room?"

Facing Wang Zhong, Gu Er didn't hide anything and nodded to admit it!

Wang Zhong didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, Gu Er still followed the old path, but it was okay. Only when people have experienced things can they grow.

Let's talk about Gu Er, if it weren't for Xiao Qin's support, without the frame-up by his uncles and brothers, without his elder brother's pressing step by step, without Zhu Manniang's betrayal, how could he have grown up to the step-by-step-by-step-by-step-by-step mentality in the original work?

The meticulous and masterful master of maneuvering, Mr. Gu.

While Wang Zhong was thinking about it, the courtyard door was also opened from the inside. Seeing Wang Zhong, the female envoy who opened the door was shocked at first, then hurriedly greeted Wang Zhong and welcomed Wang Zhong and others into the courtyard while shouting loudly to the back room.

They shouted that Wang Zhong was back.

Within a moment, Mrs. Wang Li grabbed a pair of children and ran out impatiently.

"Sister-in-law!" Wang Zhong walked up to Wang Li and bowed his hands.

"Uncle is back!" Mrs. Wang Li looked at Wang Zhong and choked up for a moment. The longing that had been suppressed for several years immediately came out like a tide, especially after having had a skin-to-skin kiss and still alive.

After having a son, their relationship and feelings have undergone tremendous changes.

For many days and nights, Mrs. Wang Li lay in bed, tossing and turning, with Wang Zhong's shadow in her mind. However, Mrs. Wang Li did not dare to tell anyone about this emotion, including Wang Zhong.

The more you suppress feelings, the stronger they become. However, the identity of the two of them is a natural chasm between them.

In the past, when Wang Zhong was just a commoner in Guizhou, it would have been nothing. After his brother died, his sister-in-law remarried his younger brother. In fact, it was nothing in a poor family. After all, the most important thing was to survive and to pass on the incense to the family.

If you have an opinion, the most you can do is say it behind your back.

But now that Wang Zhong has not only become a Jinshi, but also an official, the situation is completely different.

When you reach the class of scholar-bureaucrats, reputation is particularly important. One mistake may even lead to Wang Zhong quitting his career, ruining his future and cutting off his official career.

Wang Li could only suppress the longing in her heart, and resisted the urge to rush forward and throw herself into Wang Zhong's arms, hugging Wang Zhong tightly, wishing she could rub herself into Wang Zhong's body.

There is also this boy Wang Xu. When Wang Zhong left, he was still young and was not old enough to remember. Now that he has not seen him for three years, he naturally does not recognize Wang Zhong.

Children are generally afraid of strangers. When they suddenly saw a stranger, even though their mother and brother said he was their third uncle, how could Wang Xu get close to him?

Wang Qian'er, on the other hand, has been very close to Wang Zhong since she was a child. Later, she studied and practiced martial arts with Wang Zhong. The uncle and nephew often went to the mountains to hunt, went down to the river to catch fish, climbed the trees to dig out bird eggs, and picked fruits.

Do less, and Wang Zhong will tell stories to Wang Qian'er whenever he has time.

Although he is an uncle, in Wang Qier's heart, Wang Zhong, his uncle, is no different from his father.

Just looking at the familiar tall and burly figure, Wang Qier's big black and white eyes were filled with tears, and the longing for her after several years of separation flooded into her heart.

"Third uncle!"

Accompanied by a trembling, crying call, the delicate figure jumped into Wang Chong's arms like a baby swallow.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Zhong pushed Wang Qian'er out of his arms: "You are such a big girl, and you still act coquettishly with your third uncle, you are so shameless!"

Wang Qianer's pretty face was slightly red, but she looked at Wang Zhong and said frankly: "In front of Third Uncle, I will always be a child!"

Wang Zhong raised his hand and rubbed the head of Wang Xi'er, who had almost caught up with Wang Li's body, and said softly: "We can't do this anymore. We are all big girls now, so we should pay more attention!"

"Yes! I listen to my third uncle!" Wang Qier nodded solemnly.

Wang Zhong smiled and asked: "I'm not at home, did Sister Qian listen to my sister-in-law?"

Wang Qier immediately nodded her head and said as if she was taking credit: "I was obedient!"

"Sister Qian is quite well-behaved on weekdays!" Wang Li said.

Wang Zhong couldn't help but rub Wang Qier's little head again.

However, Wang Zhong's eyes were still looking at Xiao Wang Xu who was hiding behind Wang Li.

Mrs. Wang Li reacted when she saw this, and hurriedly pulled out her son who was standing behind her and hugging her legs and refused to let go. She squatted down and said in her son's ear: "Brother Xu, why don't you call me Third Uncle!"
