The next morning, a long line of cars formed in front of Zhang Hulan's house.
There are always two people in one carriage, which makes it convenient for them to rest.
All together, there were more than ten horse-drawn carriages, and three of them were used to carry things.
Zhao Guoliang brought the villagers to see him off, and all the villagers brought gifts.
Zhao Guoliang stuffed a few grains of silver into Zhang Hujun's pocket and said, "Hujun, we can't go to the capital either. This is a little gift from me. Please don't despise it."
Zhang Hujun quickly declined, "Uncle Guoliang, no need..."
"Hey... take it. Dahua is lucky. We all wish her a smooth life and a happy family in the future."
The rest of the villagers also came forward, some gave copper coins, some gave eggs, and some gave live chickens...
Ma said to Zhang Dahua, "Dahua, please come back more often in the future."
Zhou said to Ma, "Are you stupid? Young Master Wang has built a big house here and will live here in the future. It will be convenient for Dahua to go back to her parents' home."
"Oh, how could I have forgotten about this." Ma smiled and said, "Dahua is really lucky. She married into such a wealthy family. You won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
The villagers were all congratulating Zhang Hujun, Li, and Zhang Dahua, and Zhao Guoliang said, "Okay, let's not delay their journey."
Ma enviously said, "I wish we could go out and see the world someday. We have been living in this mountain cave for our whole lives and don't know what the outside world is like."
Zhang Hulan suddenly had an idea when she heard Ma's words. She said, "Everyone should work hard to earn money. When we have money at home, we can form a team and go out to play. All the people in the village can go together."
Ma and many villagers' eyes lit up. Ma asked, "Hu Lan, how much does it cost to go out for fun?"
Zhang Hulan said: "If we have a carriage in the future, and we don't buy anything when we go out, it won't cost much, one or two taels of silver will be enough."
"It costs so much money?" Ma was surprised, then waved her hand, "Forget it, I can't bear to spend so much money."
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "If you can earn dozens of taels of silver a year in the future, do you think one or two taels of silver is too much?"
Ma said, "If I could really earn dozens of taels of silver every year, I wouldn't mind spending one or two taels of silver, but now I haven't earned it yet."
A villager said, "Ma Da Jiao, you should be content. You can earn several hundred coins every month now, and your family member Yonggui has also made a lot of money this year. Your family has made at least more than ten taels of silver this year. You still say you have no money?"
Ma smiled widely and said modestly, "How can there be so many!"
The brothers Liu Yonggui and Liu Yongquan both made money this year. They worked for Zhang Hulan in the first half of the year and for Wang Xingren in the second half. Zheng and Ma also worked for Zhang Hulan's farm for a long time and provided meals. The two families made almost nothing but money, and saved all the money they made. The two brothers were discussing whether to renovate the house.
This year, it is not only the brothers Liu Yonggui and Liu Yongquan who made money, but all other villagers also made money to some extent.
Now there are no troublemakers in the village, and the relationships between villagers are good. They all know that they have benefited from the Zhang family, so when Zhang Dahua got married, they all came to give gifts.
Zhang Hulan said, "Next year, let's all plant more lotus roots, and then we can all earn money together. Let's strive to make 20 to 30 taels of silver each next year."
Ma said: "Then we are counting on you, Hulan, you must come back soon."
Zhao Guoliang stopped the villagers who were about to say more and said, "Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, wait until Hu Lan and the others come back. Don't delay any longer and set off quickly."
Zhang Hulan waved to the villagers and said, "See you next year. I wish you all a happy new year in advance!"
"goodbye……"
"Be careful on the road..."
All the villagers waved to Zhang Hulan and her friends.
The convoy moved forward slowly. Zhang Xinyue, Zhang Xiaobing and others were extremely excited. Xiaohua and Xiaohui were also brought along by them.
The two little guys sometimes flew into the air, circled for a while, and then flew to Zhang Xinyue's carriage.
There were several quilts in Xiang Chunhua's carriage, and she half leaned against it,
Zhang Hulan and her companions met up with Ye Hongyun outside the city, and two more carriages were added to the convoy.
Wu Deyong hadn't come back yet, so Ye Hongyun asked Tian Qi to wait at the county government office and tell Wu Deyong that she had returned to the capital. She also told Tian Qi not to tell Wu Deyong that she was pregnant.
…
There were two pregnant women on the road, so the journey that was supposed to take seven days took eleven days to arrive.
Zhang Hulan was originally worried that Xiang Chunhua would be tired on the road, but it turned out that she was very excited.
Sometimes when the capital city was on break, she would go out for a walk.
When they were still more than ten miles away from the capital, Wang Xingren's men rode into the city at full speed to report the news.
When Zhang Hulan and her friends arrived at the city gate, Ye Hongling and Wang Xingren were already waiting there.
Zhang Hulan and the others got off the carriage. Ye Hongling smiled and stepped forward and said, "My dear relatives, you have worked hard on the journey!"
Zhang Hujun and Li were a little reserved when facing Ye Hongling because there was such a huge difference in their status, so Zhang Hujun left everything to Zhang Hulan.
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "It's not hard. We have never been so far away before. It really opens our eyes."
After paying his respects to the elders of the Zhang family, Wang Xingren went to find Zhang Dahua.
After seeing Zhang Dahua, Wang Xingren couldn't hide the smile on his face, "Are you tired from the journey?"
Zhang Dahua shook her head slightly, "I walked slowly on the road, so I wasn't tired."
The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Ye Hongyun said, "Okay, we can talk later if you have anything to say. Let's go into the city first."
Ye Hongyun asked Zhang Hulan, "How about you stay at my house first?"
"Don't bother. We are too many people. We will stay at the inn tonight. We will book a house later and move in tomorrow after cleaning it up."
Ye Hongling said: "Okay, I'll take you to the inn first. After you settle in and have dinner, I'll take you to see the house."
Ye Hongling led Zhang Hulan and the others into the city. Looking at the tall city walls and the tall city gate where people were coming and going, the little ones all opened their eyes wide with curiosity.
When he arrived at the inn, Wang Xingren immediately booked a room and paid the rent.
After settling down, Ye Hongling took Zhang Hulan and the others to eat.
After dinner, Daochen said to Zhang Hulan, "Mr. Zhang, I will take Daohe, Daoxu and Daoning to see my uncle first, and I will send Daoning back to the inn in the evening."
Although Zhang Hulan trusted Daochen, she was still a little worried and asked, "Where is the senior master uncle?"
Dao Chen smiled and replied: "My uncle's Taoist name is Xuan Qing, and he is the director of the Imperial Observatory."
Ye Hongling and Ye Hongyun were very surprised. They both bowed to Daochen and said, "So you are the nephew of the Imperial Master. I am so sorry for your disrespect."
Daochen returned the greeting, "Thank you Madam Ye for your hospitality today. I will take my leave now."
Zhang Hulan was also surprised. She didn’t expect that Ziyang Temple had an extraordinary background.
The Imperial Master is Daochen's uncle, so isn't that also Zhang Xinyue's uncle? The little girl also has someone with support in the capital...
