After Feng Jiuyan watched Fu Yanci leave, Zheng Bo called a servant and asked him to drive the donkey cart into the mansion through the side door.

Feng Jiuyan and Zheng Bo entered the mansion through the main gate.

Feng Jiuyan walked along, looking at her new home all the way.

Their new home is a three-courtyard courtyard, divided into the front yard, the middle yard, and the back yard.

The new house is completely different from the grand and magnificent general's mansion in the past. It does not have such a majestic momentum. However, the layout of this house and every detail reveal a unique little thought, which makes it look more refined and more comfortable to live in.

Compared with the general's mansion in the capital, Feng Jiuyan likes the new home better.

Zheng Bo led Feng Jiuyan through the front yard, along the winding corridor, and headed towards the main house in the middle courtyard.

He explained in detail, "The master and his wife don't like to be high-profile. They only bought three or four maids and four or five servants in the market to take care of all the affairs in the mansion. That's why the mansion is so quiet."

"Well, it's better to be quiet and live comfortably."

"What a coincidence, madam thinks so too." Zheng Bo smiled.

There was a maid about sixteen or seventeen years old sweeping the floor in front of the main room. When she saw Zheng Bo, she greeted him respectfully. "Zheng Bo."

"Hey, Chunxiang, where are the master and the mistress? Are they in the room?" Zheng Bo asked the maid named Chunxiang.

The little maid paused her work and replied, "Zheng Bo, the master, the mistress, and the young master are drinking tea in the pavilion in the backyard right now."

"Miss, let's go directly to the backyard." Zheng Bo said.

So the two of them walked through the middle yard and came to the back yard.

There is a garden in the backyard, with some flowers and fruit trees planted in it. However, because it is autumn now, the branches and leaves of these flowers, plants and trees are already a little yellow and look a little withered.

After walking a few steps forward, Feng Jiuyan saw rows of fields and his eyes widened in surprise.

"This, this is not to grow vegetables?"

Zheng Bo stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "Miss, you are really smart. Madam really wants to grow some vegetables in the garden. Madam said that it is too wasteful to plant flowers on this land, so we only plan a small flowerbed and plant some flowers and trees we like. The rest will be used for land reclamation and planting. When spring comes, we will plant vegetables. This way, we will have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat in the future, and we can also save some money."

Feng Jiuyan was amazed in her heart that her mother's ideological awareness had become even higher after being exiled.

She also felt that instead of growing useless flowers, it would be better to grow some fruits and vegetables.

In the north, the weather is so cold in winter that vegetables cannot grow at all. She decided to build a greenhouse and plant some vegetables when she has time, so that her family can have green leafy vegetables every meal even in winter.

A little further ahead, there was an artificial lake. The lake water sparkled under the north wind. Feng Jiuyan glanced at the lake and was surprised to find that the fish raised in the lake were not for viewing, but for eating.

Seeing Feng Jiuyan's surprised expression, Zheng Bo explained, "This is what Madam meant. She said that instead of raising fish that can only be looked at but not eaten, it is better to be more practical and raise some fish that can be eaten. This way, even if there is a shortage of food, people will not starve."

"Mother is thinking long-term." Feng Jiuyan said with a smile.

She knew that her mother's condition was the aftereffects of exile.

"That's right." Zheng Bo stroked his beard and smiled. He pointed ahead and said, "Miss, the master, the mistress and the young master are in the pavilion over there."

Feng Jiuyan looked up and saw four people in the pavilion on the lake: her father, her mother, A-Li, and... Xiao Tao.

Zheng Bo waved his hands and was about to shout, but was stopped by Feng Jiuyan.

"Uncle Zheng, I want to give them a surprise." Feng Jiuyan blinked and smiled mischievously.

"Oh, hahaha, yes, yes, we really need to give the master and his family a surprise. The master and his wife will surely be very happy to see the young lady return."

The two stepped onto the bridge leading to the pavilion in the center of the lake. In the pavilion, Feng Huaijin, Madam Feng, and Feng Jiuli were drinking tea and eating snacks.

In fact, the three of them had no appetite as they were very worried about Feng Jiuyan's safety.

Feng Jiuli put the snack in his hand back into the plate, with a look of disgust on his face, and muttered, "Well, this dragon beard pastry is not delicious at all." His delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of unhappiness.

"Hey, I also think that this dragon beard pastry is not delicious at all. It's really strange. Obviously, the chef of our mansion is still Uncle Yang, so why did I think it was delicious when we were at the border before, but now it doesn't taste good at all?" Xiao Tao, who was standing behind the few people, couldn't help but sigh. She was holding the dragon beard pastry in her hand, with pastry crumbs on the corners of her mouth, and her chubby little face was full of sadness.

Feng Jiuyan approached the pavilion quietly and listened to what the three people said.

"Oh, what could have happened to make Xiao Tao feel that even the food she eats is not tasty anymore? Did she fall for some young man? Are you worried now?"

When the four people in the pavilion heard the familiar voice, they immediately turned their heads and looked back.

"Miss!"

"Sister!"

"Ayan!"

The four of them shouted in disbelief.

Xiao Tao and Feng Jiuli reacted quickly. Feng Jiuli jumped down from the stone bench and ran towards Feng Jiuyan like a firecracker.

Feng Jiuyan took several steps back and hugged Feng Jiuli tightly in his arms.

At the same time, Xiao Tao, who was tall and strong, was so excited to see her master who she hadn't seen for a long time that she became incoherent. She turned into a big, flexible fat man and ran towards Feng Jiuyan, "Miss, woo woo woo, Miss, you are back."

She shouted while opening her arms. Feng Jiuyan felt a little tingling on her scalp. Xiao Tao was so strong and so fast, she would be blown away!

Feng Jiuyan took several steps back while holding Feng Jiuli in his arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, let's calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive."

Xiao Tao still had some sense left. When there were still a few steps between her and Feng Jiuyan, she braked suddenly. Then, she took two steps at a time and hugged Feng Jiuyan tightly in her arms. In her excitement, she picked Feng Jiuyan up and spun him around in circles.

Feng Jiuli, who was sandwiched between the two people, looked somewhat pitiful and was almost crushed.

Feng Jiuyan was almost strangled by Xiao Tao. She rolled her eyes and squeezed out words from between her teeth with great difficulty, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, please let me go. You are strangling me to death."
