Chapter 157: Going on a Long Journey (Ending 3)
Uncle Du and Aunt Ling were too busy, so my aunt sent several groups of people to pick them up. The brother and sister stayed for two days and then passed away.
At her own horse ranch, Yu Jing held her little daughter in her arms, watching her husband, son, and siblings chasing each other. They chased each other, refusing to give in, their faces full of smiles.
When the wind blew, she bought another piece of brocade dress for her babbling daughter. The dress had fine stitching and was delicate and soft. It was exactly what her sister-in-law had brought from the south of the Yangtze River.
The gift is small, but the affection is deep and lasting.
…
(The deleted version of Border Town Little Wolfdog...
After getting married, the junior lieutenant from the Northern Frontier was retained in the capital due to his merits. He is now the commander of the Beijing Military Department, in charge of patrols and arrests inside and outside the capital, and he is very adept at his job.
When he had free time, he often took his stepsons to ride horses and practice archery. One was twenty-four or twenty-five, and the other was fifteen or sixteen years old. Those who knew him thought they were father and son, while those who didn't know him would think they were brothers.
At the racetrack, Yu Jing held her little daughter, whose eyes were pale blue, and watched fathers and sons, sisters and brothers, chasing each other, each refusing to give in, their faces filled with smiles...)

After getting tired of riding horses at my aunt's house, the two of them went to my uncle's house to rest for two days.
After passing the imperial examination, Xie Yushu stayed in the Hanlin Academy, where he edited books, married and had children, and took care of his biological mother and stepfather. In this capital city full of powerful people, he lived a peaceful life as a small sixth-rank civil servant.
As soon as he saw Xie Huailang, it was as if he saw his second brother when he was young, handsome, tall and straight.
Unexpectedly, his nephew was much more gentle and refined than his second brother. He politely asked him for guidance on his studies and was determined to study hard and pass the imperial examination to become an official like his uncle.
Xie Yushuo smiled and patted his nephew's shoulder, expressing his approval, but he didn't say what was in his heart.
My nephew, regardless of whether you study hard or not, given your father's wealth and the contributions he made in recovering the northern border, you will never have a hard time studying no matter where you go in this life.
If he really takes the imperial examination like himself in the future, this elegant and handsome young master of the Xie family will definitely be the most wealthy and powerful civil official in the world.
Xie Huailang's journey north stopped here. He wanted to stay at his uncle's house and study for a few years.
Just like, back then, Chen Qi held the hand of little Yu Shuo, walking step by step towards this road to success.

Xie Huaiming still has a long way to go.
Princess Pingyang waited for several days and finally the eldest daughter of the Xie family came.
The acquaintance was made in a hurry, but unexpectedly, the two had very similar personalities. As time went by, the eldest princess, who was the most courageous and decisive, became more caring and loving like a mother.
Xiao Ming'er had been away from the capital for several years. As soon as she arrived at the princess's residence, Pingyang kept her by his side. He took her to the palace to attend banquets, to the Southern Study to meet high-ranking officials, and to the royal gardens to ride horses...
After she attended many palace banquets, met many princes and powerful officials, and talked a lot with the eldest princess, Pingyang reluctantly sent her on her journey north.
The destination of Miss Xie’s journey is northern Xinjiang.
As the eldest daughter of Duke Dingbei and the adopted daughter of Princess Pingyang, she wants to go to the northern border town to see the place that her biological father and adoptive mother once fought to defend.
What's more, her uncle Shen Ji left Beijing two years ago and was transferred to serve as an official in the northern border area. She still has to visit this relative!
Xie Huaiming's trip to the northern border was even more grand than her father's team back then.
On one side were the personal soldiers sent by the Princess's Mansion, on the other side were the cavalry sent by Uncle Du, and also... and the two young masters from Aunt Meng's family.
Lord Wen was promoted to the highest rank, and Madam Meng was granted an imperial decree. As the couple reached middle age, they lived in harmony and their love for each other grew deeper.
Wen Liyan, the eldest son of the Wen family, is well-versed in poetry and literature. He passed the imperial examination at an early age, and he has a heart for the poor people of the world. He volunteered to go to the northern border to spread the teachings of the sages.
The second son, Wen Lixing, is an expert in riding and shooting. He is full of ambition and is determined to ride his horse and wield his sword to go to the northern border to see the farthest and widest world.
Thanks to the eldest daughter of the Xie family, the two brothers followed her all the way north under the escort of two teams.

Before setting off, Wen Liyan opened the map of the territory and showed it to Xie's sister.
"Sister Ming, let's go here first, then head to this city, and then..."
Wen Lixing stood with his arms folded and snorted softly.
"Brother, we all know where the next stop is. How boring! Sister Ming, why don't we just look at the map and play wherever we go?"
The eldest daughter of the Xie family stood between the two of them, thought hard for a long time, picked up the pen again, and drew a long and winding route on the map.
Wen Liyan frowned slightly.
"Why are you going this way? This isn't the shortest route."
Wen Lixing was also scratching his head.
"Uh... indeed. It doesn't look like the most interesting route either."
Xie Huaiming waved his hand.
"My dad said that if we take this route, there are shops along the way, so we don't need to carry money. It's so heavy and tiring!"
The two brothers gasped and looked at each other.
When I looked at the little childhood sweetheart of the Xie family again, the golden light on her body became even brighter.
The chariots, horses and guards were all ready to go. The three men said goodbye to their relatives and each rode a horse and took a sword, heading for the northern border.
Just like her father back then—
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, go on a long journey!
