Chapter 450 Heading to Yizhou
"Mom." Wei Ziyi's voice was full of attachment.
Mom and Dad are going on a long journey, and he really doesn't want to let them go.
Tang Li patted his back gently. In the blink of an eye, his son had grown so big that he was almost as tall as him.
"When mom and dad are not around, you have to listen to your brother and brother Xu Jue, don't make trouble, read more books, and eat well, okay?" Tang Li said softly.
"Mom, I know." Wei Ziyi said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't worry, mom and dad will be back after a while." Tang Li continued.
"Yeah." Wei Ziyi responded.
The child kept hugging his mother. Wei Qing couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him out of Tang Li's arms.
"Boy, don't be so fussy." Wei Qing said with a straight face.
Wei Ziyi took the opportunity to hug Wei Qing.
Wei Qing was too tall, and the child was only as tall as his shoulders, so he could only hug his waist.
"Dad." Wei Ziyi called out.
Wei Ziyi's voice was soft and full of attachment, and Wei Qing's face was a little tense.
"You're twelve years old now, a man now. Be strong, okay?" Wei Qing said.
Wei Ziyi nodded and let Tang Li go.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue also took turns hugging Tang Li and Wei Qing.
"Zi'ang, Xu Jue, you must study hard when your parents are not around." Tang Li said.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue nodded vigorously.
"Mother believes in you. You two have always made me worry-free." Tang Li said with a smile.
The two children are thirteen years old now and have grown much taller. They look like teenagers with bright eyes and a bright future.
The scientific examination is just a few months away. By then, these two children will be like Kunpeng spreading their wings, soaring into the sky and becoming the two brightest stars.
Tangli is proud of them.
"Dad, Mom, this is the only book I collected about flood control. I give it to you." Wei Ziyi took out two books from his arms and handed them to Tang Li.
The child loves books. He looks for all kinds of books and listens to all kinds of stories.
This might be seen as a waste of time in the eyes of other people, but Tangli never restricted him.
In the novel, these children have suffered enough, but in reality, she just hopes that they can follow their hearts and do what they like.
Besides, being well-informed is not a bad thing.
Tang Li felt very relieved when he looked at the two books.
"Thank you, Ziyi." Tangli said.
"It's getting late, and Mom and Dad have to travel tomorrow, so let's go back and rest first." Wei Ziang said.
Tang Li nodded: "You three should go to bed soon."
The three children were sent to bed, and Tang Li and Wei Qing also returned to their bedroom.
Tang Li and Wei Qing made a list of things that needed to be brought this time, and the servants sorted it out.
Tang Li and Wei Qing only need to pack some of their own things.
The two of them quickly packed up, went to bed, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day.
At daybreak, the two got up.
After washing up and having a simple breakfast, he went out and got on the carriage.
The carriage made a creaking sound as it passed through the streets of the capital in the early morning.
Wei Qing held her in his arms: "Wife, you should sleep a little longer."
Tangli opened his eyes wide: "Husband, I hear the sound of horse hooves."
Tang Li opened the curtain of the carriage window and saw two people riding horses outside, walking side by side with the carriage.
It was her eldest brother Gu Huainian and third brother Gu Huaijin.
"Big brother, third brother!" Tang Li shouted.
Gu Huainian looked at her with a gentle expression.
Gu Huaijin smiled and said, "Brother is here to see you off."
Tang Li kept lifting the curtain and looking at his two brothers.
She had known the Gu family for only a short time, but perhaps because of blood ties, her feelings for her brothers went far beyond just a few months of acquaintance.
Tangli is a person who can feel sincerity very well. If others give her sincerity, she will return it with sincerity.
Perhaps, it was because she felt the love her brothers had for her.
Gu Huainian and Gu Huaijin rode alongside the carriage until they reached the city gate.
The carriage stopped and Tangli jumped off.
"Big Brother, Third Brother, we've been sending you off for a thousand miles. Now that we're finally parting, you should just send me off here."
Gu Huainian and Gu Huaijin also dismounted.
Gu Huainian gave Tang Li a piece of paper.
"The names listed here are my old acquaintances in the Yizhou area. If you need their help, just go find them." Gu Huainian said.
This is a connection. When you go out to do things, connections are very important. You never know when they may come in handy.
"Thank you, big brother." Tang Li's eyes were full of smiles.
"Sister, this is for you." Gu Huaijin also stuffed a bag of things into Tangli's hands.
Tang Li took it out and looked at it, and saw that it was actually a pile of silver notes and a pile of loose change.
"This is the private money saved by my third brother." Gu Huaijin leaned close to Tang Li's ear and whispered.
He spent all his savings over the years, even including his childhood New Year's money.
"Money makes the world go round. When you go out, you have to spend money," said Gu Huaijin.
Tang Li was a little embarrassed: "Third brother, I have money."
"Xiao Li, just keep it, otherwise he will spend the money on drinking and prostitution." Gu Huainian said.
Tangli accepted the money.
"Let's set off and don't waste time." Gu Huainian said.
Tangli got on the carriage.
The carriage left the city gate, and Tang Li lifted the window curtain and looked back, seeing the figures of his eldest brother and third brother getting farther and farther away.
A figure flashed across her vision, but when she looked more closely, it was gone.
Tangli sat back, looking thoughtful.
"What's wrong?" Wei Qing keenly noticed the change in his wife and asked.
"I seemed to see my mother, but it flashed for a moment, and when I looked again I couldn't see her anymore. It might be an illusion." Tang Li said.
In the street market.
Nanny Zhao supported Madam Gu and stood there. The city gate was closed and nothing could be seen.
"Madam, the young lady and her husband will definitely return safely." said Madam Zhao.
Madam Gu nodded and said, "Let's go to Ganquan Temple tomorrow."
…
The carriage headed south.
As the imperial envoy, Wei Qing brought with him water conservancy officials and craftsmen, a total of more than 50 people.
The five secret guards disguised themselves as servants and mixed in with the servants.
In the carriage, Wei Qing and Tang Li did not rest either.
Wei Qing looked at the map of the Yizhou area and the water conservancy map.
Over the years, the Great Zhou actually sent many officials to Yizhou to control floods, and also left behind many water conservancy drawings.
Among them, most were left by Mr. Song.
Unfortunately, Mr. Song died in the flood five years ago. He was unable to complete the flood control and did not see Yizhou free from the suffering of the flood.
Tangli looked at the two books given by Ziyi.
She didn't know anything about flood control, so she could only try to learn as much knowledge as possible, hoping that she might be able to help someday.
The flood in Yizhou cannot be delayed.
So the carriage did not stop along the way.
Tangli was tired, so she snuggled in Wei Qing's arms and took a nap.
She has magical powers and her physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so she can persevere.
Wei Qing is strong and in good physical condition, so he doesn't feel tired.
However, many of the people below couldn't hold on and fell ill.
Wei Qing left them behind to walk slowly, while the rest of the group continued on their journey.
