A few people knew that Wang Yu was going to Dingzhou to take up his post, so they all came when Erbao was one year old. Erbao's first birthday party was also simple. These few people simply celebrated the New Year and had a meal at home.
After all, Ling Chufeng is Erbao's godfather, so he must give a gift to his godson on his first birthday. The gift he took out was a sleeve arrow, which made Wang Yu's mouth twitch. Erbao is only one year old, how can he use it?
Ling Chufeng: "This is for you. Dingzhou is a long way away, so I'm giving it to you for self-defense."
Then he put the sleeve arrow on Wang Yu's arm and taught him how to use it. Wang Yu thought that he would definitely not encounter any danger, but seeing that he was teaching him how to use it so seriously, he still studied it very seriously. After all, it was Ling Chufeng's good intention, and he also liked to play with this thing.
Sleeve arrows are hidden weapons used by people in the martial arts world. They are so small and exquisite that they cannot be seen at all when hidden in the sleeves.
Seeing that he also liked it, Ling Chufeng smiled and said, "I have improved this sleeve arrow. The tip of the arrow can be poisoned, but I didn't do it because I was afraid you might accidentally hurt yourself. However, it is still enough to kill people in danger."
Wang Yu nodded. "Well, thank you, Chongguang. Chongguang is also knowledgeable about hidden weapons. This sleeve arrow is really small."
Ling Chufeng installed the hidden arrow for him and said, "Well, I have some experience with it. You can try it."
Wang Yu shot at the beam of the study according to his instructions. He felt a slight pause on his arm, and then saw the arrow pierce into the beam with a whoosh. The speed and force were so fast that Wang Yu was dumbfounded. If this arrow had hit someone, it would have been enough to kill them.
Ling Chufeng jumped up and pulled out the arrows, then handed them to Wang Yu: "There are five arrows in total, use them sparingly."
Wang Yu smiled and said, "Chongguang is too cautious. I'm just going to Dingzhou to take up my post, so there's no way I'll encounter any danger. But I like this thing very much. Thank you, Chongguang."
Ling Chufeng: "As long as you like it."
Then he took out a box from his arms and said, "This is for Erbao."
Wang Yu took the box and opened it. It contained a jade nine-linked ring. The jade was transparent and looked very expensive. "This is too expensive."
Ling Chufeng: "I'm Erbao's godfather, it's just a toy, how can it be valuable?"
Wang Yu looked up at him, and it seemed that he was really not there. Then he put it away, thinking that he was just a man of the Jianghu with a generous nature. "Thank you Chongguang."
Ling Chufeng frowned and said, "You've thanked me many times today. What kind of relationship do we have that deserves you to keep saying thank you?"
Wang Yu immediately raised his hands in surrender and said with a smile, "Okay, it's my fault. I won't say it again."
On the third day of Erbao's first birthday, Wang Yuchengchen packed up and prepared to leave for Dingzhou.
Dabao knew last year that his father, grandfather and younger brother were going on a long trip and he might not see them for a long time. Fortunately, he is grown up now and knows that he still needs to study and cannot stay with his parents for long. Although he is very sad, he manly held back his tears.
Although the king's father and mother were a little reluctant to let their son go on a long journey, they were not too sad when they knew it was the emperor's intention. In their minds, since the emperor promoted his son and sent him away, it meant that he valued his son, which was a good thing.
There is already a big baby at home, and I didn't agree to take care of the second baby at first, after all, he is only one year old, but I know my son himself, and once a decision is made, it cannot be changed. I can only ask them to take good care of the second baby, and Cheng Chen can also take care of Wang Yu's daily life if he goes with them.
Zhang Siyuan: "I don't know when we'll meet again. Although there's no Baiweilou in Dingzhou, there is one in Huzhou. I'll go see you and Cui Hao when I have time."
Wang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for Brother Siyuan to come and treat him well."
Song Boyan and Chen Yanwen also stepped forward and said, "Be careful on your journey, stay safe, and remember to write a letter."
Wang Yu: "Okay, I'll trouble Ziheng to take care of Dabao."
Song Boyan patted his shoulder. Shitou and Dabao were studying in the same academy. One was a tutor, and the other two were tutors. He said, "These are all trivial matters."
Seeing Dabao trying not to cry, he sighed and patted his head. "Be obedient at home and study hard. Daddy will write to you when he gets here."
Dabao sniffed and hummed with a nasal sound, tears welling up in his eyes.
He looked at the people who were seeing him off and said, "Okay, we're leaving. Parents, go back. You should go back too."
Then he and Cheng Chen took Erbao on the boat. This time they brought Zheng Shu but not the wet nurse. After all, the wet nurse was from Beijing and couldn't travel so far with Wang Yu. Fortunately, Erbao was one year old and could eat soft food, such as egg custard and minced meat porridge. They would find goat milk for him to drink when they arrived at the destination.
The shop in the capital was handed over to Master Yun for full management, and Cheng Chen gave her a raise. The shop's business has been very stable in the past two years. It has regular old customers and several master chefs, so it doesn't matter if Cheng Chen is not there.
They had to go to Wuzhou from the capital first. The water route was downstream, so if it was fast, it would take about fifteen days to arrive. Then it would take another four to five days to get to Dingzhou by carriage.
Wang Yu and Cheng Chen arrived at their room and put Erbao on the bed. Cheng Chen began to pack up and said to Wang Yu, "Tell the kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard for Erbao later."
"Okay, I'll go call Zheng Shu and tell the kitchen." Wang Yu nodded. Zheng Shu lived next door to them.
"Rest for a while. If we hurry, we can reach Wuzhou in fifteen days."
Cheng Chen: "Okay."
After Wang Yu talked to Zheng Shu, Zheng Shu brought over the steamed egg custard in a short while. After Cheng Chen fed the second baby, he coaxed him to sleep.
At night, Wang Yu lay in bed thinking about his journey. Cheng Chen and Erbao had already fallen asleep. He couldn't sleep because he had a lot of things on his mind.
Thinking about the small court meeting at the end of last year, he didn't have to go, but the emperor specifically asked him to go, so he knew something was going to happen.
