Kou Jiming laughed all the way. "If it's really as you said, I won't have to worry about military supplies anymore. I won't have to worry about food shortages in the rear during battles. I have to plan all the time. Sooner or later, I can make a big move and reach the barbarian's lair!"

No matter what kind of beans they are, as long as they can fill you up, they are good beans!

He is not like those literati who read too many books and have become stupid and full of evil ideas.

This is a good thing in every way! Since it is a good thing, it deserves encouragement.

"No problem, I'll make sure you guys have enough to eat when the time comes."

Kou Jiming's words made Ji Changying feel warm in her heart, and she patted her chest to assure him.

After returning to the palace, Ji Fengshou had already packed everything up and had already said goodbye to the princess with Zhou.

They thought the other party would make things difficult for them, but unexpectedly the princess looked calm. When she heard Ji Fengshou's words, she smiled and said she understood.

He even asked the housekeeper to prepare a set of rituals for them.

"What do you think the princess means by this? She seemed very fond of you and your daughter before, but now that we're leaving, she doesn't even mention it!"

Ji Fengshou was not dissatisfied, but he had prepared a lot of excuses that were suddenly useless, which made him feel neither happy nor unhappy.

It was as if he took what others said casually and acted like a self-indulgent person.

Ji Changying was amused by the conflicted expression on his face: "You're nervous when they like us, but why are you reluctant when they don't like us?"

Ji Fengshou was speechless: "Anyway, they just don't like you because they have no taste!"

Zhou didn't care at all: "Aying and I are so powerful, unless their eyes are blinded by shit, otherwise we are the only ones who can choose. How could they look down on us!"

Ji Changying gave his father a look: "Did you see that? This is what a strong person is!"

Ji Fengshou was at a loss for words: "...Okay! I'm so worried for nothing."

The next morning, the three of them packed their things and set off in a rented carriage.

Neither Prince Ping nor Princess Ping saw them off. They just asked the steward to present a set of ceremonial gifts and told them that they had too many things to do and would not be leaving for the time being.

After yesterday's conversation, the three of them didn't take it to heart.

When they arrived at the city gate, Yao Sanniang and the others were already waiting there in an orderly manner.

Ji Changying pointed to the carriage behind: "Get in!"

Yao Sanniang bowed to her and took the ten ladies to the carriage behind.

The journey out of the city was very smooth. Ji Fengshou counted the gains from this trip and grinned, "Excluding the expenses on our way, our family has earned a full three hundred taels of silver this time!"

Although we brought back a lot of things this time, it’s not that impressive when divided among each person.

However, because Zhou and Ji Changying contributed more, they still accounted for the majority.

"not bad."

Ji Changying gave a fair evaluation, and Zhou was much happier: "You earned so much? Then I'll eat meat every meal from now on. I don't want to eat cabbage sticks!"

Ji Fengshou waved his hand generously: "Eat if you want! How can I let your mouth go to waste?"

The car drove for the whole morning, and at noon not only did they eat meat, but the two old men driving the car also prepared meat-filled meals for them.

The two old men worked even harder when they were traveling in the afternoon.

However, there was a lot of snow on the road, so the car slowed down. It was not until dark that they crossed Gan County and arrived at Xiaotian Village.

Along the way, Yao Sanniang and the others looked out the window nervously and anxiously, holding their transfer documents tightly and not daring to let go.

Seeing this familiar scenery, Ji Fengshou couldn't help but smile. He got out of the carriage, sat on the shaft, and pointed the way to the driver: "Go straight ahead!"

"Listen to the master!" The coachman flicked the whip and walked in the direction Ji Fengshou pointed.

The Ji family had just finished their meal when Mrs. Hu asked Ji Mingxue again, "Why haven't your uncle and the others returned yet?"

Ji Ming looked up at the sky with despair: "This is the fifth time you've asked me this today! When we came back, my uncle said he would be back in two days. How can I know why they haven't come back yet?"

Ji Fengyi looked at him dissatisfiedly: "It's been three or four days! What on earth did your uncle tell you back then?"

Ji Mingxue collapsed and pulled Ji Minghao over to him. "If you don't believe me, ask my brother. My uncle really said, 'You guys go back first, I'll be back in two days!' He really only said that!!"

Ji Minghao flipped through the notebook and nodded with certainty: "That's right."

Ji Changchuan sat on the side with his face in his hands, his face full of worry.

He began to doubt whether he was their biological son. Why did they leave him behind in the family of four?

The sound of knocking on the door brought everyone back to their senses.

You Tianming immediately stood up: "I'll go take a look."

"Open the door! We're back!"

Ji Fengshou knocked on the door and shouted excitedly. Ji Fengyi could no longer sit still after hearing the voice.

"Hurry, hurry! Your uncle is back!"

Even the dog sitting in the corner raised its head and ran towards the door when it heard the sound.

Ji Changying was standing in front of the carriage at the back: "Come down, we're here."

Yao Sanniang and the others had already seen the magnificent courtyard, and only after hearing Ji Changying's words did they nervously get out of the carriage one by one.

"This is my home. I'll stay here for the night and then go to the county government office to handle my household registration during the day."

"Thank you." Yao Sanniang and the others expressed their gratitude in a low voice.

"A-Ying!!"

Hu's surprised voice came from behind, and as soon as Ji Changying turned her head, she was hugged by Hu.

"What's wrong with you? You've rarely been sick since you were little, yet you've been sick for so long and haven't come back yet! How can it be as comfortable outside as at home? I see you've lost a lot of weight. Are you suffering out there?"

Mrs. Hu's eyes turned red and she almost cried as she spoke.

Ji Changying quickly interrupted her: "You're just imagining things. I've gained several pounds, and the food and drink in the palace are great!"

Ji Fengyi glanced at the crowd and said, "Go home first!"

After moving all the things back home, Mrs. Hu saw that so many people had not eaten yet, so she busied herself cooking for them.

Ji Fengyi looked at the family of four and said, "Come with me."

The three Ji Mingxuan brothers followed without hesitation to watch the show.

Ji Fengshou was filled with anxiety when he saw his brother's serious face.

When he saw his eldest brother come in, he picked up a bamboo stick on the table and turned to run.

"Stop him!"

At Ji Fengyi's command, all three sons rushed forward to catch Ji Fengshou.

His hands clung tightly to the door frame, not letting go: "I'm already this old, your nephews and nieces are this old, and you still hit me with this? It's so embarrassing!"

Ji Fengyi walked up to him, hardened his heart, and slapped his hand that was trying to grab the door frame: "You still know that your daughter and son are already this old? Why are you still fooling around with them?"
