Chapter 868: Essence received

Frog Clan territory.

The fat catfish flicked its long whiskers, tearfully bid farewell to Big Fat and Second Fat, and headed south all the way.

The two large frogs waved their big webs, watched the legless frog leave, and couldn't wait to return home.

Limbs stretched, belly puffed out.

Time to lie down! The round cave entrance, the open corridor, the five-story duplex, golden ratio division, with a courtyard, a mud pool, and a resting stone; all kinds of furniture were complete. Looking down from above, it was as neat as a rotating snail shell on the earth. Rotating to the very top, a huge fish bone was embedded; the fish head was pale and ferocious, and the fish bones pierced the sky, rotating quietly with the water flow, which was wonderful.

The star product of Fat Fist Heavy Industry! Aside from Big Fat and Second Fat, many luxury villas with the same design could be seen in the territory, each with its own characteristics, and some were even half-built.

Pity.

The Heavenly God summoned urgently.

The hometown people were too enthusiastic, and it looked like it wouldn't stop for a while.

"Lord Liang! I am here, what are your orders!" Chen Chen Zhaoan had someone support him as he stepped forward, shouting in response amidst the sound of firecrackers.

A familiar figure flashed in his peripheral vision. His pupils turned; at the pier, Xu Xu Yuelong picked up his fishing rod, the silver-white line swaying with the wind, and boarded a boat to leave the marsh.

"Trouble Chen Xianglao to arrange it, ask the neighbors to collect some bowls and chopsticks. Ten days later, choose a good day as soon as possible, and we will set up a flowing banquet at the Shangrao pier!"

"Beast!"

"Good!!!"

The so-called landscape had no special effect, and like the purple gold fish bag, it belonged to a symbol of status and position.

The black dragon leaped into the courtyard wall; Long Yao and Long Li rushed into the courtyard like swallows, found chairs, and sat down, collapsing like melting butter.

"It's not convenient to sit here, people will scold you on the table. People are coming on horseback, what does it look like? Go inside and lie down!"

After a year, there were quite a few trivial matters.

"The Emperor's reward must be treasure wood; it's not strange that it's heavier than iron."

"Come out and look, Liang Jiang Zongshi is here!"

It was evening.

"Double happiness at the door?"

"Set it up for ten days!"

Fan Xing came to greet the young and strong of Yixing Town and led them into the courtyard.

Water splashed into the sky, and the waterfall poured down.

Seeing his colleagues after a year, it was another round of commotion.

A moment of silence.

Broken reeds soaked in the water, and pale yellow pollen drifted with the waves, scattering into the distance.

"Everyone stop crowding, stop crowding! Li Libo, Lin Songbao, Chen Jiechang, call a few people to help move some things!"

"Amazing, the Huai River General still knows how to come back!"

Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot.

"Chen Xianglao! Chen Xianglao!"

After chatting with Frog Duke for a while, Liang Qu returned to the hall.

"Newly promoted Perfected Form, and given a heavy responsibility?"

The lotus flowers had long since withered, replaced by a small blue flower with a rich, fragrant scent.

The old toad, who had been napping on the round stone, drilled out of the waterfall, shook its back, shook off the water foam, patted the mountain stone, and praised it endlessly.

"Mountain stone waterfall, green-eyed snail flower?"

Ke Ko Wenbin shouted from upstairs.

"My ears are going deaf!"

The officials and dignitaries truly know how to enjoy themselves.

Long Yao had her own arrangements for everything at home, so there was no need to worry extra; the furniture in the bedroom and hall was all brand new.

A corner of the pond.

Wei Lin leaned against the window, frowning in thought.

In an instant.

At the Yixing Town pier, the treasure ship docked, and firecrackers went off.

"Damn!"

The cheers grew louder, boiling like a tide! The thunderous laughter couldn't even be suppressed by the firecrackers.

Liang Qu shouted in the crowd.

"What are you guys doing? Such a big formation, are you welcoming a bride?"

"Eh, the Mistress has such great prestige."

"Croak, that's right!"

The young and strong threw out rolls of firecrackers, holding iron tongs, using red charcoal to ignite them. The noise rose again, and the entire Shangrao pier was almost shrouded in the smoke from the firecrackers; one couldn't see faces at all.

"In that case, it's really not bad!"

The old toad grabbed a stone on the rockery and turned it hard. The entire waterfall suddenly changed, turning from wild to gentle, like an oily water column pouring out of the spout of a high-quality purple clay teapot, moistening silently.

Everyone rushed up!

The black dragon bit the bamboo pole hanging the firecrackers, running and chasing other big yellow dogs to scare them.

Coming out of the River Patrol Office, Liang Qu threw the jade talisman in his hand, the long whale sucked in water, and the moist air surged into his lungs, which he exhaled heavily.

Now, the one dispatched was—the First Vanguard of the Huai-Suppressing Army, the peerlessly fierce Fierce Tooth General! Charge, charge, charge! The fat catfish tricked the fist into dealing with the debris left behind from working, glanced at the round head cleaning the treasure fish, felt secretly happy about being in the lead, flicked its fish fins and tail, and disappeared in a flash.

He leaned against the back of the Size Ruyi chair.

Liang Qu reached out to touch it; the water column spread evenly, and his face showed joy.

The sunset glow filled the sky, and the pale gray cooking smoke rose to the sky.

The waterfall was like Taihu stone, more than three feet high, like a rockery; he didn't know what method was used to suck the water up, but it was endless.

The wooden bridge extended. Liang Qu squatted down and reached out to touch it; the blue flowers were round and solid, with a vertical mark in the middle, as if it were a green cat's eye.

"Careful, careful, put it here!"

For a full half-quarter of an hour, the firecrackers didn't stop. Behind them, big drums were beaten, and the lion dance team ran over.

Crackle, crackle!

White noise being loud wasn't a bad thing; on the contrary, it was beneficial to body and mind, and from now on, conversations in the pond wouldn't easily be heard by people outside the wall.

The original five-acre pond, except for a small pavilion in the center, had nothing else. It was empty and not beautiful, but now that it was filled with rockery waterfalls, it suddenly became well-arranged, divided into two sides, and truly had a bit of the elegance of a Jiangnan courtyard.

"Ah, you're back!"

"Hometown is comfortable after all!"

"Pfft!"

Liang Qu looked up: "Frog Duke! It's been a long time!"

"Thief, die!"

Wonderful!

Whoosh.

The old toad was like it had gotten a toy, displaying it endlessly; the size, the way it poured, and even the water temperature could all be adjusted.

Liang Qu went to the River Patrol Office to report on the sea merchant attack and his marriage. Su Guishan, who held the posts of Pingyang Prefecture Master and Provincial Governor, made things very convenient for him, saving him from running back and forth.

"Hahaha, don't rush, don't rush. I brought things back for you guys from the capital! If you hit me, I'll withhold one item!"

Ran Ran Zhongshi, Ran Ying, Bai Bai Yinbin, Xiang Fasu... opening windows, pushing doors, they all filed out, surrounding Liang Qu.

Lin Lin Songbao, Li Li Libo, and Chen Chen Jiechang took the lead, holding red charcoal to set off firecrackers, warmly welcoming him and applauding with all their might.

Long Yao kicked her lower leg lightly, chasing the giggling Long Yao and Long Li into the side room.

Whoosh.

"Good!"

"Right! What do you say?" Bai Bai Yinbin booed.

The red paper scraps covered in "double happiness" characters drifted down like a red paper rain, and the gongs and drums were deafening.

Long Yao returned to the room, taking the opportunity to replace everything that needed to be replaced.

"Yo, Liang Jiang Zongshi, there was such a big commotion at Yixing Town next door just now!"

"Set it up! Set it up at the Tianbo Building." Liang Qu waved his hand. "Wait until I find Lord Su, talk for a bit, and then set another happy occasion. Double happiness at the door."

Liang Qu dusted off the red paper on his head. Seeing the pier crowded with villagers, he was happy but also couldn't laugh or cry.

"Yao and I registered in the capital, today we are back in our original hometown to file the record!"

The "anti-black" work came to an end.

"Promised a half-year vacation, left in November, returned in November, a full year." Ke Ko Wenbin put his arm around Liang Qu's shoulder. "Liang Jiang Zongshi has made a great name for himself outside, heard there was a big banquet, we even knew about it far away in Jiangnan. Now that you're back in your hometown, what do you say?"

The reward was decided in late August, and the Imperial Court sent people to build it. Now it was almost November, clearly a step earlier than Liang Qu.

Liang Qu laughed loudly.

"This waterfall of Liang Qing's is good! It suits my taste very much!"

Lin Lin Songbao shouted: "Liang Jiang Zongshi has returned home in glory! The people of Yixing Town are welcoming him along the way!"

Just as the person left, the sound of gongs and drums approached. At the gate of the Liang residence, a big lion shook its head and wagged its tail, followed by a line of young and strong men, bypassing the shadow wall, shouting slogans to move furniture into the house.

Simple preparation.

Long Yao returned to the Dragon-Man clan to get this year's lotus seeds.

"Come, come, there's more, there's more! You boys in the back, take out all the firecrackers and hanging crackers!" Li Li Libo waved his hand. "Our Yixing Town has produced a big figure! Must make it ring all day! Originally, there was a lion dance team, but you didn't tell us in advance, and the team didn't make it in time!"

The villagers cheered loudly.

Ke Ko Wenbin let go of his shoulder and paced around Liang Qu.

"One, two, one, two, whew, what kind of stool is this, it's heavy, just like iron."

"Pfft, boring."

Everyone was suspicious.

"The pond is Frog Duke's pond." Liang Qu bowed. "The Holy Emperor rewarded three landscapes, I chose water landscapes for all of them, just for Frog Duke's sake! As long as Frog Duke is happy!"

"Liang A-Shui, you have no heart!"

"Good! Liang Qing is truly a pillar of the state. However, from what you said just now, it is indeed a bit noisy on weekdays, but fortunately, this waterfall has its mysteries."

"With mountains, water, and flowers, it's truly a luxury house." Liang Qu sighed at how quickly his past dreams had been realized, then looked at the waterfall again. "Will it be too noisy at night..." "Liang Qing!"

"What happy occasion?"

On the altar, two large white porcelain jars, one clear water pottery jar.

Inside the white porcelain, three thousand lotus seeds from the Dragon-Man clan, thirty mermaid tears from the Mermaid clan, and in the pottery jar, five large treasure fish from the June sea merchant.

The Toad King was still sleeping.

All other three items were received!
