On the other side of the General's Mansion, Old Madam Nangong stared at the two little children in front of her, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Almost a quarter of an hour has passed since Ye Yi and Ye Er brought Zi Hui and Zi Cheng to the General's Mansion. Old Madam Nangong has not yet recovered from her shock. Her beloved great-grandchild has suddenly appeared so beautifully.
Standing to the side, Nangong Ling looked at Zicheng and Zihui with great joy. Worried that his wife's constant staring at the two of them might frighten them, he quickly spoke up.
"Alright, they must be exhausted from their journey back from the border. Quickly arrange for someone to help them wash up and get some rest. Also, have the cook prepare some of the children's favorite foods so they can eat once they've rested..."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault. I was so happy that I forgot about this..."
“Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, we can wash ourselves, we just need someone to take us there…”
"Yes, my brother and I can wash ourselves. We always wash ourselves at home..."
Hearing the two children's soft, sweet voices calling out to their great-grandparents, Nangong Ling and his companion felt their hearts melt.
"Oh my, my little darlings, good, good, good, your great-grandmother will personally take you there..." After saying that, she hurriedly stepped forward and took one of them by the hand, leading them towards the washroom.
Seeing his wife looking so smug, holding one child in each hand, Nangong Ling suddenly felt a little itchy in his own hands.
However, thinking that they had already arrived at the general's mansion and would have plenty of opportunities in the future, he hurriedly turned around and ordered people to prepare clothes and food for the two of them.
Since the general's mansion did not have any children's clothes, and it was too late to make them now, they had to order someone to go out and buy more.
Some were buying clothes, some were preparing food, and others were tidying up rooms for the two of them. Everyone in the General's Mansion was being directed around by Nangong Ling.
Then he thought that his two children were now four years old and it was time for them to start their education, so he hurriedly went to his study to write a letter, preparing to invite Sha Guangbai, the now retired headmaster of Yangming Academy, to give the two children their first education.
Yangming Academy is one of the most prestigious schools in Beichen, and its president is a man of great learning with countless students.
The fact that Nangong Ling wanted to invite him to give the children their early education demonstrates how much she values them.
After writing the invitation, he sent it to the Sha residence by fast horse. Not long after, he received a reply from the Dean, who gladly agreed and said he would come to the residence in three days.
After the two little ones finished washing up and changed into their laundry clothes, the two elderly people stared at them, unable to resist wanting to hold them in their arms and give them a kiss.
Both of them have eyes that resemble Han Yiyi's, big and bright, with long and curled eyelashes. The difference is that Zi Hui's eyes have a softer look, while Zi Cheng's eyes have a more determined look.
Since the two were Nangong Yuan's children, their surnames naturally had to be changed. Fortunately, Nangong Ling did not intend to change the children's names, but only their surnames. Therefore, the two were changed from Han Zicheng and Han Zihui to Nangong Hui and Nangong Cheng.
The two little ones stared wide-eyed at the beautifully presented dishes and desserts laid out on the table. They had never seen food made into such a flower-like way before.
Actually, the two little ones aren't greedy when it comes to food. After all, with their foodie mother Han Yiyi around, they've eaten plenty of delicious things. However, Han Yiyi doesn't pay much attention to plating and desserts, which is why the two little ones were so surprised when they saw these dishes.
However, when they put the food in their mouths, they couldn't help but frown, recalling a phrase Yun Xiao had taught them before: "all show and no substance."
There was no way around it; Han Yiyi had spoiled the two of them with their palates, and even back in Yanlang City, she hadn't neglected their taste buds.
Although the food wasn't to their liking, the two little ones were sensible enough not to say anything.
Nangong Ling and the other person's eyes hardly left the two of them, so they naturally did not miss the slight furrowing of their brows when the two of them took a bite of the food. They knew that the food must not suit their taste, so they quickly asked the kitchen to prepare a new meal.
"These aren't to your liking, are they? It's okay, it's okay. Your great-grandfather will have the kitchen make them for you again. You can have them make whatever you want to eat..."
Seeing that there was already such a large table of food, and that they still wanted to cook more, the two quickly waved their hands in refusal.
After all, although Han Yiyi is a foodie and loves to cook for the two of them, she never allows them to waste food. Besides, the two of them still remember the days when they didn't have enough to eat at the Fan family's house.
"No need, no need, great-grandfather, this is enough. It would be a waste if we couldn't finish it. Growing food is not easy, we can't waste it. We're just a little unaccustomed to the food our mother makes every day..."
Hearing what the two little ones said, Nangong Ling and his wife exchanged a glance. They couldn't help but feel grateful to their mother, Han Yiyi, for raising her two children so well.
In fact, the meals at the General's Mansion are usually very simple. There are few masters in the General's Mansion, and Nangong Yuan is not at home all year round. Now that only the two old people are left, the meals are usually no more than three dishes and a soup. Today, they are too happy, and they don't know what the two little ones like, so they asked the kitchen to make more, thinking that they can choose what they like to eat.
The two were truly exhausted, and soon after dinner, they fell asleep. Looking at their peaceful sleeping faces, Nangong Ling and his companion couldn't help but smile, thinking to themselves, "From now on, the General's Mansion will no longer be so lifeless."
Meanwhile, as soon as Nangong Yuan arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he handed all the bundles he was carrying to Han Yiyi.
"Take a look and see if this is enough. If not, I'll go find some more..."
As soon as Han Yi opened her mouth, her eyes widened. Looking at the jewelry and jade artifacts that she could only see on TV, she couldn't help but swallow hard, thinking to herself, "If I could bring these things back to the modern world, I would become a real rich woman."
Redeeming items one by one was too troublesome, so she redeemed everything in her package at once. Looking at the balance displayed on the system, Han Yiyi's smile almost stretched to her ears.
With a total of 30 million points, after deducting the 5 million points exchanged within the same system, there are still 25 million points left, which is more than half more than what I originally wanted...
As expected, the pills redeemed with five million points worked. Not long after Emperor Beichen took them, he slowly opened his eyes.
