"Mom, I found my big brother and his wife. Really, this time it's true. It's really my big brother and his wife."
Qiu Yuwan shouted excitedly.
Sun Guiying dropped the small rake in her hand to the ground. She excitedly grasped her daughter's arm and asked, "Is it really your eldest brother and his wife?"
"That's for sure. The eldest son's name is Hansheng, and the third son's name is Hanyan. They must be our eldest son and the third son."
Afterwards, Qiu Yuwan told Sun Guiying about her conversation with Li Yunshu, and Sun Guiying became more and more excited as she listened.
"Yes, they were indeed close to the border of Wen County. Who would have thought that they would settle in such a remote place?"
"If your father knew, he would definitely be very happy." Sun Guiying burst into tears with excitement.
Not long after, Qiu Wanjin and Qiu Ziru came over.
"Old lady, my son just told me that he found the boss and his family."
"Yes, yes, we'll set off tomorrow to Wen County to find the boss and the others."
"Tomorrow?" Qiu Ziru was stunned. If he was in such a hurry, he wouldn't be able to take a day off.
Sun Guiying looked at him and said directly, "You stay in the capital. Your father, your sister and I will go and pick up your brother and the others."
"You just took office, how can you just ask for leave?"
Although Qiu Ziru also wanted to see his elder brother whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, his mother was right.
"Then I'll have to trouble my parents and little sister to make the trip."
"Don't be polite, no, I have to go prepare something. Your sister just said that your eldest sister-in-law was pregnant with a girl."
"Yuwan, please come with me to buy some things my daughter likes."
"How long will it take us to get to Wen County?" Sun Guiying said anxiously.
Qiu Ziru said quickly, "It will take three or four days to reach Qinyang Prefecture by water, and another three or four days by land."
"Then let's take the water route and prepare more things." Sun Guiying waved his hand and gave the order directly.
Qiu Ziru smiled and said yes.
Sun Guiying hesitated to speak, but Qiu Ziru said directly, "Mom, if you see Big Brother, please don't mention what you said before."
"Don't let my elder brother and his wife misunderstand that we are looking for them just to adopt a son under my name."
"To avoid alienating us, I'm destined to be childless in this life, and I've already come to terms with it."
"Although I don't have any children, I do have five nephews and one niece. I won't be left without someone to take care of me when I'm old."
After hearing what her youngest son said, Sun Guiying sighed and finally nodded in agreement.
Nine years ago, Qiu Ziru's wife suffered a difficult childbirth, resulting in two deaths. She has not yet recovered from the pain.
When Qiu Ziru went to investigate a case, he was seriously injured by the cunning murderer. He had no physical problems and could act normally, but he lost his fertility.
He did not want to mistreat his new bride, so he never remarried.
She is still alone now. Sun Guiying has mentioned more than once that her eldest brother had five sons, if they had not been lost.
He could also adopt one under his name, but he did not agree with it.
After all, that is his eldest brother and sister-in-law's child. He can't be so selfish. If that day really comes, it's okay if his nephew is willing to break the pot for him.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Qiu Wanjin also spoke.
Sun Guiying nodded, the eldest brother and his wife would definitely agree.
She was not partial, she just didn't want her youngest son to have no successor.
"Come on, Yuwan, come on, accompany your mother back to change clothes, and then we'll go to the street to buy gifts for your nephews and nieces."
"Okay." Qiu Yuwan responded quickly.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Second brother, Yun Zheng and I have said that if I have a second son in the future, we will adopt him to you."
"?!" Qiu Ziru looked at her in surprise.
Qiu Yuwan smiled sheepishly and apologized, "I'm sorry, Second Brother, I told Yun Zheng without your consent."
"Yun Zheng had previously discussed this with Lord Mu, and Lord Mu also agreed. I was thinking of waiting until later."
"If I can't give birth to a son in the future, it will be a shame."
"Little sister...thank you." Qiu Ziru was deeply moved.
Then he laughed and hit her: "What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't even gotten married yet, how do you know you can't have a son?"
Qiu Yuwan chuckled and ran away embarrassedly.
"If we could find the successor of the Thirteen Taiyi Needles, your problem would naturally be solved. Unfortunately, after so many years of searching, there's been no news at all."
Qiu Wanjin sighed, then picked up the small rake and walked into the vegetable garden that the old woman had opened up.
Qiu Ziru took off his outer robe, took the shoulder bandage handed to him by the servant and put it on, shouting loudly: "Dad, your son will help you grow vegetables."
"Okay, come on, let's go together." Qiu Wanjin responded with a happy smile.
The next morning, Sun Guiying couldn't wait to go out after breakfast. Qiu Ziru quickly said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've made all the arrangements."
"Okay, okay, no rush, no rush. I haven't seen your brother and sister-in-law for more than ten years. I'm excited, right?"
Qiu Ziru smiled and nodded. Not to mention his mother, he was also very excited and looked forward to meeting his eldest brother and his family as soon as possible.
As the carriage boarded the big ship and was about to leave, Mu Yunzheng came over with several palace soldiers.
"Second brother." Mu Yunzheng bowed to Qiu Ziru.
"What are you doing?" Qiu Ziru was puzzled.
Mu Yunzheng said, "I'm worried about Mom and Dad and Yu Wan going so far away, so I plan to follow them and protect them along the way, so that Second Brother can feel more at ease."
"In that case, thank you very much." The two of them were already engaged, so there was no need to care about other people's gossip.
Mu Yunzheng led the horse onto the big boat. Seeing Mu Yunzheng coming, Qiu Yuwan's eyes showed a smile.
The two said nothing. As the boat was about to leave, Qiu Wanjin waved to Qiu Ziru and said, "Go back. We'll be back soon."
"Okay, Dad, Mom, Sister, Yun Zheng, have a safe journey."
He watched the big ship go away until it became very small, and then he turned back.
Peach Blossom Village.
In a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of May, which is also the Dragon Boat Festival here. Qiu Yinong led the women in the village to make a lot of rice dumplings yesterday afternoon.
There are salted egg yolk rice dumplings and sweet rice dumplings.
When you enter the dim sum workshop in the morning, you can smell the fresh scent of rice dumplings everywhere.
“It smells so good.”
"Don't be greedy. Try it after you're done." Aunt Cuiying patted the woman and said with a smile.
Aunt Tao also shouted, "Hurry up, the guys from Zhao's Dim Sum Shop are already here."
"It will be ready soon." The women responded, each with a happy look on their face.
Baskets of rice dumplings were loaded onto the mule cart sent by Zhao Ji. Some were left for the villagers to distribute, and the rest were given to the pastry shop.
"Miss, this is the payment for the last snack and this snack. Please keep it."
Qiu Yinong took the banknote and sent the clerk away. She went to the specially arranged accounting office and recorded the accounts. There were three books in total, and the three of them recorded the income and expenditure together.
Inform the three people of the amount of money received this time, and then hand them the withdrawal form for purchasing materials.
