On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Xingren's men arrived.
Zhang Hulan also invited a doctor to her home to examine Xiang Chunhua to see how she was physically and whether she was suitable for long-distance travel.
After examining her, the doctor said, "Madam is in good health, but she still has about a month to give birth, so she is not suitable for long journeys.
If you must hurry, make the carriage softer and drive slower."
Seeing Xiang Chunhua's pitiful eyes, Zhang Hulan had no choice but to go find Doctor Yu and Qi Wenpo.
Invite them to go to the capital together so that any problems along the way can be dealt with.
The condition that Zhang Hulan offered to the couple was that they didn't have to worry about their food and accommodation during their stay in Beijing, as Zhang Hulan would take care of everything.
It took about a month and a half, and she gave the couple thirty taels of silver as a reward.
Qi Wenpo happily agreed to the offer of earning thirty taels of silver in a month and a half.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the academy began to have holidays.
Zhang Hulan also asked for leave for Zhang Xiaobing and Shanzi, and they will not be back until later next year. As for Zhang Xiaojun, he will stay in Beijing to study next year.
After picking up Zhang Xiaojun and the others, they went to the county government office to arrange a departure time with Ye Hongyun. They still had time today, so they packed up and set off tomorrow morning.
Zhang Hulan also went to see Xiong Zhubu and Hu Xiancheng and gave them some gifts.
She said she was going to the capital, and if there was any problem at home, she asked them to help manage the shop.
Both Xiong Zhubu and Hu Xiancheng told Zhang Hulan not to worry and to come to them if there was any problem at home.
They both knew why Zhang Hulan was going to the capital. The daughter of the Zhang family had married into a marquis's mansion, so the Zhang family was no longer ordinary people.
Moreover, Zhang Hulan is now a sixth-rank official, so they have to bow when they see him.
Zhang Hulan then went to pick up Zhang Xinyue.
Zhang Xinyue ran down the mountain. Zhang Hulan saw that the little girl seemed to be worried, so she asked, "What's wrong with Yueyue? Why do you seem unhappy?"
Zhang Xinyue raised her head and asked, "Mom, can we take Daohe and the others to the capital as well?"
Zhang Hulan asked: "Do they want to go too?"
Zhang Xinyue nodded, "Yes, Dao and Daoxu also want to go to the capital with us, and I want them to go with us too."
If they were going home, Zhang Xinyue would not have discussed it with Zhang Hulan and would have taken Dao and Daoxu home directly. But this time they were going to the capital, which was far away and took a long time, so she had to ask Zhang Hulan for her opinion.
Zhang Hulan smiled and nodded, "Then invite them along, but you have to ask your master if he agrees."
Zhang Xinyue said happily: "Then I will go and call them right away..."
Zhang Xinyue immediately ran up the mountain, shouting, "Mom, wait for us, we'll be down soon..."
As a result, Zhang Xinyue had just run not far when Daochen came down with Dao and Daoxu.
Daochen smiled and bowed to Zhang Hulan, "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Hulan also smiled and returned the greeting, "Hello, Taoist Priest."
Daochen said, "Mr. Zhang, I am also going to the capital with my two junior brothers. Can we go together?"
Zhang Hulan looked at Daohe and Ha Daoxu, then looked at Daochen, "Master Dao is going to the capital too?"
Daochen nodded, "I will take my two junior brothers to the capital to meet my uncle, and Daoning will also go to meet his uncle."
"Oh, great! Dao Ning was just saying that she wanted her two brothers to go to the capital together. This is perfect."
Zhang Xinyue looked at Daochen with dissatisfaction, "Big Brother, why didn't you tell me before?"
Dao Chen smiled and said, "Who told you to run so fast? When I came to look for you, you had already disappeared."
Zhang Xinyue stuck out her tongue, then pulled Daohe Daoxu into the carriage.
Zhang Hulan invited Daochen to get in the carriage, but Daochen waved his hand and said no, he and Dong Jianyong would just sit outside.
After returning home, Nanny Tao and the others began to pack their luggage, and Zhang Hulan went to the farm.
She found Luo Changqi and asked, "Uncle Luo, have you notified the people who are going to the capital with me? We will set off tomorrow."
After deciding that Zhang Xiaojun should study at the Imperial College, Zhang Hulan asked Luo Changqi to select four people to go to the capital with him.
"I've already told you, I'll call them all over."
Luo Changqi quickly called the four selected people to Zhang Hulan.
An old man and an old woman were responsible for the concierge, cleaning the yard and doing odd jobs.
There was also a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman. The woman was responsible for cooking, and the man served as Zhang Xiaojun's follower.
When the four heard that they were arranged to go to the capital, they were all very willing.
People like to go to big cities. In big cities, they can get more food even if they beg.
Zhang Hulan didn't say anything to the four people, but just told them to pack their luggage and set off tomorrow morning.
Doctor Yu and Mrs. Qi Wen were also brought over, waiting to set off together tomorrow.
In the evening, Zhang Hulan called Luo Changqi and four others to have dinner together.
Zhang Hulan said to Dong Jianyong and Xu Hu, "Uncle Dong, Uncle Xu, you two will go to the capital with us tomorrow."
"Okay." Dong Jianyong and Xu Hu both nodded.
Zhang Hulan then said to Luo Changqi and the others, "Uncle Luo, Uncle Huang, and Uncle Yuan, I leave my home to you three.
If there is anything happening at home, please discuss it with me.
If there is anything you cannot resolve, please go to the county government office and find Chief Secretary Xiong."
"Don't worry, niece. We will take good care of you at home."
…
After dinner, Zhang Xinyue and her friends were playing with Xiaohua and Xiaohui.
Zhang Xinyue said to Zhang Hulan, "Mom, let's take Xiaohua and Xiaohui with us.
Xiaohua and Xiaohui are so powerful, if we encounter bad guys on the road, Xiaohua and Xiaohui can help us fight them. "
"Just take them if you want." Zhang Hulan had no objection to this. She also liked these two little guys very much and would play with them when she had nothing to do.
Zhang Hulan suddenly thought of the eagle that Daohe had taken away, and wondered what happened to it now. She asked, "Daohe, where is your eagle? How is it doing?"
Daohe, Daoxu and Zhang Xinyue all blinked and looked at Zhang Hulan.
Zhang Hulan asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Daohe said somewhat embarrassedly: "Aunt, we roasted the eagle and ate it."
Well……
Zhang Hulan really didn't expect this result.
Daoxu gloated and said, "Haha, Auntie, you don't know that Daohe took the eagle back and raised it for a month, but he couldn't tame it.
He wanted to tame the eagle by roasting it, but after a month he failed to tame it and it killed him instead, so we roasted the eagle and ate it.
Zhang Hulan also laughed, "Adult eagles are difficult to tame. If you want to raise one, you have to catch a newly hatched eagle to raise."
Daohe said, "I won't raise the old eagle anymore. I will wait for Xiaohua or Xiaohui to have a son, and then I will raise their son."
"And me, I need to take care of him too." Daoxu said immediately.
Zhang Xinyue asked: "Mom, when will Xiaohua and Xiaohui have a baby? I promised Daohe Daoxu that I will give Xiaohua and Xiaohui's baby to them to raise."
Zhang Hulan doesn’t know either. Xiaohua and Xiaohui are still single!
