Early the next morning, Qing He told Liu Lu'an what she had found out.

"The eldest girl seems to have become a different person. In the past few months, she has been either planting trees, vegetables and flowers on the farm, or checking the account books and counting money in the shop. Oh, by the way, she also buys vegetables and cooks for her aunt herself."

Hearing what Liu Tangxi had done, Liu Xuanan frowned slightly.

Were these made by someone who traveled through time?

He is clearly an ancient person.

He even looks more like an ancient person than Liu Tangxi before.

"Has she come into contact with anyone?" Liu Luan asked.

Qing He thought for a moment and said, "No. Before, there were many people going up to the manor to buy fruit, but the eldest girl usually didn't come around. She would go to the mansion to make cakes, and it was the lady who entertained the ladies and young ladies from various mansions."

"Has she seen the Crown Princess?"

Qing He shook her head: "No, not only have I not seen her, the eldest girl seems to be hiding from the Crown Princess's family."

"What about the prince?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Come to think of it, this is related. The mansion of Prince Jian is next to the mansion of the Madam. I heard that the young princess saw that the eldest lady's cooking was delicious and wanted her to cook for her, but the eldest lady refused in person. The princess was very unhappy. Afterwards, the princess went to the Madam's mansion, but was later called away by the prince."

Liu Luan nodded.

"Where's the third prince?"

"The incident with the Third Prince was the one we all know about. The eldest lady saw the Third Prince at the palace gate but didn't recognize him."

After hearing this, Liu Luan felt relieved.

If Liu Tangxi is really reborn, according to the common people's thinking, she will definitely be close to the future emperor. Judging from Liu Tangxi's actions, she avoided the prince, rejected Prince Jin, and pretended not to know the third prince. The meaning behind this is very obvious.

The Crown Prince is not the future winner, nor is the Prince Jian. It can only be the Third Prince.

She had offended the Third Prince and her before, and she knew they would succeed in the end, so she pretended to have amnesia.

If Liu Tangxi was not reborn but traveled through time, that would be even easier.

Liu Tangxi had changed her inner self, and the previous grudge between them had nothing to do with her anymore.

Looking at what she has done in the past six months, she seems like someone who lives a stable life and doesn't have any big ambitions.

As long as Liu Tangxi doesn't provoke her or cause her trouble, she won't provoke her.

Therefore, whether she was reborn or traveled through time, it had nothing to do with her.

"Well, you don't need to keep an eye on the elder sister. Have someone keep an eye on the prince."

"Yes, girl."

It was half a month later when Wei Laosan and others received Wei Hanzhou's letter.

After receiving the letter, Wei Lao San was illiterate and could not read it.

When Bosheng came back in the evening, the family gathered together to listen to the contents of the letter.

When they heard Wei Hanzhou ask them to go to the capital, the whole family fell silent.

Ever since Wei Hanzhou passed the imperial examination and was appointed an official in the capital, the Wei family has become different.

Bosheng went to the county town to study, and Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu also looked for work in the county town.

Wei Lao San and Li went to the town to sell candied haws, and Zhang and Zhou would occasionally go with them.

Adding up all the family's income, they could earn two hundred coins a day, which is six taels of silver a month.

In addition to the good sales of apples this year and the harvest from the fields, they already had more than one hundred taels of silver in their hands.

I was thinking that I would make some money from selling candied haws and build a big house in the spring of next year.

The capital city was too far away from them, so far that they didn't know where to look to find the direction.

Wei Lao San has lived here all his life, and his first reaction was opposition.

However, this matter was proposed by his most trusted and promising son, and his son also mentioned other things in the letter.

Wei Hanzhou is very smart and knows Wei Laosan well, so he emphasized the things that Wei Laosan cares about.

For example, there are many learned gentlemen in the capital, and Bo Sheng is smart. If he can get their guidance, he may be able to pass the examination for a scholar as soon as possible. There is also a high possibility that he will pass the examination for a juren or jinshi in the future. But if he continues to waste time in the countryside, it is hard to say.

In addition to Bosheng, Zhongxing could also be enlightened early. Moreover, he was in the capital and could guide his two nephews.

In addition, there are female teachers in the capital who can teach Fu Yao and Shu Lan to read.

This is a question of the education of our descendants.

He also mentioned that although the prices in Beijing were high, the wages were high if you went to work. Whether you made rice paste or washed clothes for others, or carried sacks at the dock, you could earn more money. This was to find a way for Wei Daniu and others to make a living.

Wei Hanzhou did not mention Liu Tangxi's background at all. Because he knew that Wei Laosan had known about it for a long time. After sending hawthorns, Wei Laosan had written to him to inquire about it. Similarly, he also knew Wei Laosan's personality and knew that he did not want to rely on his wife's family. So he did not mention a word, only how to survive with his own hands.

Every word hits upon the issue that Wei Lao San is most worried about.

Wei Lao San thought about the contents of the letter and looked at his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and grandchildren sitting beside him.

Looking at the excitement on their faces, Wei Lao San was unable to say anything against it.

"Go back to your room and discuss this matter."

"Yes, Dad."

Now that Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi are not at home, their room is given to the two little sisters Fu Yao and Shu Lan.

After returning to the house, Shu Lan whispered, "Sister, I miss my uncle and aunt."

Fu Yao said, "I miss Third Auntie too. The food she cooked is delicious. Grandma and mother can't make it taste as good as her."

"I remember Third Auntie said there are hawthorn cakes and stuffed candied haws in the capital. I really want to eat them."

“I want to eat too…”

The two of them swallowed at the same time.

Not only the two girls, but others were also discussing this matter.

Except for Bosheng who slept alone.

When Bosheng grew up, Wei Daniu made a bed for him and he slept in the study.

If we were to ask who the most anxious people among these people are, they would definitely be Wei Daniu and Zhang.

The reason lies with Bosheng.

"If he could go to the capital, with his uncle and aunt around, he would have a good future," said Zhang.

Wei Daniu thought so too, but he saw the expression on Wei Lao San's face.

"But from what I see Dad, he doesn't seem to want to go."

Zhang pursed her lips and said, "Whether Dad wants to go or not, even if we don't go, I want Bosheng to go. His uncle is the top scholar in the imperial examination, and it will definitely be better for him to be with him than with us."

This was probably the only time in Zhang's life that he wanted to refute his elders.

David Newton paused and said, "Well, let's wait and see. I think Dad is also a little hesitant. Otherwise, he would have said it tonight."

Then, the two of them didn't say anything else.

It's not as peaceful over there on Wei Erhu's side as it is over here. The couple are very excited.

"Zhongxing is two years old now. When he goes to the capital, he will be able to go to school next year. Fuyao is eight years old this year. She will be nine after the New Year. She will have to find a husband in a few years. She can read and embroider now. I don't want her to look for a husband in the village." Zhou said.

Wei Erhu agreed with Zhou's words and said, "Well, I looked around and found that no one in the village is worthy of our daughter. I don't like those who work in the fields, but our Fuyao is educated. Those who are educated are mostly poor or aloof, like the one in my uncle's family. Fuyao can't marry such a person."

Zhou nodded: "Isn't it? Her third uncle is an official, so she must find a son of an official, or marry an ordinary person, who must be from the city and have no worries about food and clothing."

"Yes, you are absolutely right."

Speaking of this, Zhou remembered Liu Tangxi's identity. She knew that Wei Lao San and Li strictly forbade them to disclose this matter outside, but now she had to bring it up again.

Zhou whispered, "Also, her third aunt is a daughter of the Marquis's mansion. The steward who came to deliver the hawthorns is dressed more elegantly than the shopkeeper in the county. I wonder how big her family fortune must be. She used to like Fu Yao the most. I wonder if she can find a husband for Fu Yao..."

Wei Erhu was thinking about the future, and when he heard his wife say this, he immediately retorted: "Don't think like that. Don't mention it in front of my parents. If my father knew about it, he would be angry."

Zhou's face was embarrassed as she said, "I just mentioned it. I don't really want Fuyao to find a man with a good family background. That would be great, but we are marrying up, and Fuyao will suffer in the end. I just hope she can marry well and live a good life. I heard that the Marquis is a higher official than the prefect here, I don't know how high his position is..."

To them, the position of county magistrate was already very high, and the position of prefect was beyond their imagination, not to mention the even more powerful marquis.

"I don't know either. I've only heard about it in operas before." Wei Erhu said.

As they were talking, the two of them started talking about what kind of job they could find in the capital and how much salary they could get every month.

The two talked until very late before falling asleep.

Unlike their children and grandchildren, Wei Lao San and Li were relatively silent.

They were naturally happy to go to the capital to see their son and see the legendary capital.

However, as they get older, they are very attached to their hometown. Although they want to see their third son, they are reluctant to leave the place where they have lived all their lives. Even though they don’t have many close relatives and friends here, it is hard to leave their hometown.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I miss the third brother. I wonder how he and his daughter-in-law are doing in the capital." Li spoke first.

Wei Lao San said: "He is an official appointed by the court, and his wife is a daughter of a marquis, so they must be living well."

"That's true, eh."

Wei Lao San also sighed.

"Dad, are we really going to leave home and go to the capital?"

Wei Lao San asked, "Do you want to go?"

"I don't know. I want to go but I don't want to go." Li said. Then she turned to Wei Lao San and asked, "Old man, do you want to go?"

Wei Lao San was silent for a long time and said, "Did you see? All the sons want to go."

Recalling the expressions of her sons just now, Li said, "I saw it."

"Bosheng also wants to go." said Wei Lao San.

"Um."

"Go to sleep and think about this later."

"Oh, okay."

Early the next morning, Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu looked at the dark circles under each other's eyes and smiled.

Afterwards, they took a cart from the next village and went to the county town with Bosheng.

For the next two days, Wei Lao San was in a bad mood and did not mention going to the capital.

Three days later, Wei Lao San finally brought it up again.

"Daniu, Erhu, what do you think?"

Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu looked at each other. They worked together and talked about this a lot.

"Dad, whether we go or not, I want Bosheng to go to Beijing with his third uncle to study." Wei Daniu said the thing he most wanted to insist on.

Wei Lao San nodded and looked at Wei Erhu.

Before Wei Erhu could answer, Wei Laosan could read his thoughts from his face.

"Old Two wants to go too, right?"

Wei Erhu rubbed his head and said with a smile, "I want Fu Yao to marry a good family, and I also want Zhong Xing to find a good teacher. I heard that people in the city are enlightened at the age of three. We don't have a teacher here who can teach such a young child, but I believe there must be one in the capital."

After saying this, seeing that Wei Lao San didn't say anything, Wei Er Hu said, "Dad, you have seen the attitude of the villagers. When we separated, they thought we were poor, so they let Jin Er bully us and help Da Bo and his family. Now that they see that my third brother is an official, they all come to curry favor with us. I really can't stand their behavior. Moreover, not only the villagers, but also people from the town and the county come, which is very annoying."

It was rare for Wei Lao San not to criticize his son.

He was silent for a while and said, "Hmm."

"Dad, what do you mean?" Wei Erhu asked.

After asking, he looked at Li.

Li also looked at Wei Lao San.

Wei Lao San paused and said, "Then go ahead."

Hearing this, everyone in the room looked at each other and smiled with relief.

"But even if we go, it won't be a one-day thing. Since we are leaving, we need to pack up our house. The capital is different from other places. Housing, food, and daily necessities are not cheap. I thought, let's sell all the things in the house, including the land, apple trees, and hawthorn trees."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Wei Erhu asked, "Dad, we don't have to sell everything, right?"

Wei Lao San said, "Let's sell them. We've decided to leave and won't come back. There's no one we can trust in the village. When we're in the capital, no one will tell us how much they made. It's better to sell them all and make more money. Our apples and hawthorns taste special, so I'm sure they can fetch a lot of money. Bosheng will write to your uncle and ask him how much money he should get."

"Then...then...our family will be gone." said Wei Daniu.

"If you don't move, you will die; if you move, you will live. It's the same no matter where you are. Since you have decided to go to the capital, don't think about coming back if you don't make it. If you want to go, you must be determined to make it. Bosheng Zhongxing wants to study, Fuyao Shulan wants to get married, and all of these require money. Going to the capital is not an easy thing."

Wei Daniu, Wei Erhu, Zhang and Li all fell silent when they heard what Wei Lao San said.

They really didn't think that far ahead, nor did they have the courage to burn their boats like his father.

"Don't be depressed. The third brother is in the capital, and Bo Sheng and Zhong Xing should study hard. We just need to suffer for a few years." said the third brother Wei.

Hearing this, Bosheng stood up quickly.

"Grandpa, I will study hard, just like my uncle, and live up to the expectations of my family."

Zhongxing sat in Zhou's arms, looking at Bosheng foolishly, smiling and waving at him: "Brother, brother."

Fu Yao quickly said to Zhong Xing: "Hush!"

Zhong Xing looked at Fu Yao and grabbed her hand.

"Sit down. When you get to the capital, don't count on anyone. The best way is to count on yourself. Don't bother the third brother in everything. He should help the children with their studies and pay for their tuition. After all, he has received your kindness in the past. As for other things, try to trouble him as little as possible. It's not easy for him to be an official. Let's not drag him down. And don't bother the third brother's wife. The third brother's wife is a girl from the Marquis's Mansion and has a good family background, but that is her own opportunity. She has such a good family background, and she didn't abandon the third brother when she came to her parents' house. That is her kindness to us. The third brother has to rely on the Marquis's Mansion in the officialdom, and we must not bother the third brother's wife. Remember this."

Liu Tangxi was born in a marquis's mansion, and Wei Hanzhou was also an official.

Even ordinary people can imagine that since they are in the same officialdom, they will definitely help each other.

The title of the Marquis' Mansion is so high that it must be the reason why Wei Hanzhou, who has no family background, relies on the Marquis' Mansion.

"Yes, Dad." Wei Daniu and others responded quickly.

Wei Lao San thought, since his children and grandchildren wanted to go, they should go together. He had to watch them from the sidelines and not let his sons ruin his future.

Moreover, he hoped that his grandsons would achieve success in the imperial examinations, and that his granddaughters who could read and embroider would marry well.

At this time, Liu Tangxi was making candied haws at home.

Since making glutinous rice that day, Liu Tangxi has studied new methods. For example, she puts green bean paste, red bean paste, walnut kernels, etc. in it. Every few days, she discusses with Cheng Mama, Chen Pozi and others which one tastes better.

As for selling, she had gradually forgotten about it.

Although Tanghulu is delicious, Cheng Ma and others now feel sour in their mouths when they see Tanghulu.

After torturing these people, Liu Tangxi began to torture Wei Hanzhou, forcing Wei Hanzhou to eat a string of candied haws every night and comment on the taste.

Wei Hanzhou always answered "delicious" or "very good"; other than that, he had no other answers.

That day, Liu Tangxi made a new flavor, made with kumquat. When she was about to give it to Wei Hanzhou, Wei Hanzhou took out a letter from his arms.

"A letter from Dad."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Tangxi immediately forgot about letting Wei Hanzhou taste the candied haws, and asked excitedly: "What did Dad say, do you want to come?"

"Well, Dad said he would come after the New Year."

Liu Tangxi jumped up excitedly, grabbed Wei Hanzhou's hand, and said, "Great, I'll clean up the house and a few other houses, and ask Dad where they want to live."

Wei Hanzhou handed the letter to Liu Tangxi and said, "Don't bother with it for now. We can talk about this matter after Dad and the others arrive."

"Okay." Liu Tangxi took the letter, opened it and took a look.

Seeing Wei Lao San asking Wei Hanzhou how much he wanted to sell the apple and hawthorn trees for, she said, "Husband, tell Dad that he must sell them for a higher price!"

"Yeah." Wei Hanzhou nodded in response.

He knew the value of these trees and would not sell them as ordinary trees. And since their fruits were delicious, buyers would not offer too low a price.

"I don't know the exact amount, you figure it out yourself, husband." Liu Tangxi said again.

"good."

"Let's eat."

"Yeah." Liu Tangxi was so happy that he had forgotten about torturing Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at the candied haws in Nanny Cheng's hand, and then glanced at Nanny Cheng.

Nanny Cheng also ate a lot of candied haws, so how could she not understand?

Seeing that his wife was happily talking to his aunt about other things, he quietly took the candied haws away.

Liu Tangxi really didn't have time to think about these things. When she thought that Li Fuyao and the others were coming, she felt extremely happy and couldn't wait to see them immediately.

"Please urge them to come over sooner in your letter."

"Um."

Wei Hanzhou was happy that his wife got along well with his mother and sister-in-law. But when he thought that his wife had a better relationship with his mother than with him, and that when she was in her hometown, she would spend the whole day with her mother and sister-in-law and didn't pay much attention to him, Wei Hanzhou felt jealous even if he didn't eat the candied haws.

As for the matter of urging, Wei Hanzhou, who rarely did so, did not mention it in the letter.

He just told Wei Lao San and the others to take care of the family affairs and come back when the weather warms up. ,,
