"Well, get ready, we'll be leaving in a few days."
"Okay, I don't have anything prepared." Chu Hongyun said with a smile.
Qiu Yinong nodded, then walked out of his house and went to the village to arrange follow-up matters.
Three days later, the Qiu family set off for the capital.
As for the birthday gift, you can just come and discuss it with me when the time comes.
"Third brother." The carriage stopped in front of the courtyard. As soon as he got off, he met Qiu Hanyan who was about to go out.
When Qiu Hanyan saw her coming, before he could be happy, he saw Qiu's father and mother coming out.
"Mom and Dad, why are you all here?" Qiu Hanyan suddenly became a little nervous. Did something happen at home?
"Don't panic, third brother. You have a tight schedule these days. Can you ask the teacher for a few days off?" Qiu Yinong quickly comforted him.
Qiu Hanyan nodded: "My studies haven't been very busy lately. Is there something going on?"
As he spoke, he also looked at Mu Yunzheng, who had the same face as Zhang Sheng.
"Let's go into the yard first." Qiu Yinong saw someone coming out curiously to watch the fun and pointed to the yard.
Qiu Hanyan nodded, and Qiu Wanjin and others also got out of the car.
Qiu Hanyan looked at them curiously for a few more times, and when he entered the yard and realized that they were his grandparents, Qiu Hanyan was dumbfounded.
"The grandson has met his grandfather, grandmother, aunt, and future uncle."
"Good, good, good. I heard from your parents that you are the top scorer in this imperial examination. You are really a good son of my Qiu family." Qiu Wanjin praised repeatedly.
Qiu Hanyan smiled embarrassedly. Qiu Yinong narrated the incident briefly and horrifiedly. Qiu Hanyan said that he was going to find the teacher and left.
Qiu Yinong took Qingyuan to the Guo family. When Chen Zhujun heard that Qiu Yinong was coming, she hurried to the front hall.
"Aunt, how are you these days?" Qiu Yinong greeted Shen Zhujun.
Shen Zhujun smiled and said everything was fine. Qiu Yinong felt her pulse and said with a smile, "Aunt is now completely well. My brothers and sisters will come to see me at any time."
"If he really comes, it will be thanks to you, my sister." Chen Zhujun's cheeks flushed slightly, with excitement and shyness.
"Why are you in the county town today? It's almost lunch time. I'll ask the servants to prepare lunch."
"Aunt, please don't be so busy. I'm leaving soon. When my third brother returns from his leave, we'll head to the capital."
Qiu Yinong briefly explained what happened, and Shen Zhujun was happy for her: "This is really a good thing. It's a great joy to find relatives who have been separated for more than ten years."
"When you come back, you must come to our house for dinner." Chen Zhujun reminded him again.
"Okay, I'll definitely come and bother you then."
"What are you bothering me about, kid? We're a family. Come on, take your aunt to meet your family."
Chen Zhujun asked Caiyu to go to the warehouse to prepare gifts. It was useless for Qiu Yinong to stop her. Seeing that she insisted, Qiu Yinong said no more.
After Caiyu came back with her people, Qiu Yinong took Chen Zhujun's arm and returned to the courtyard.
"Grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, this is Uncle Guo's wife, aunt, these are my grandparents, and these are my father and mother."
Chen Zhujun greeted Qiu Wanjin and his wife, then looked at Qiu's mother, smiled and praised her for giving birth to a good daughter, and praised Qiu Yinong to the heavens and earth.
Qiu Yinong felt embarrassed.
"Aunt, I'm not as good as you say. That's too exaggerated."
"Don't exaggerate, you deserve it." Chen Zhujun and Sun Guiying said with a smile at the same time.
Then the two looked at each other and were extremely happy.
"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Qiu Yinong acted like he was saying, "You are the boss, I am afraid of you."
There was a burst of laughter in the courtyard, and Qiu Hanyan came back soon.
"Brother Shanda, you can stay in the county town for a few days, or go back to Taohua Village." Qiu Yinong said to his cousin Shanda.
Niu Shanda replied: "Miss, don't worry about us. Have a safe journey."
"Okay, let's go." Qiu Yinong nodded.
After saying goodbye to Chen Zhujun, the carriage headed towards Wenxian Wharf.
"Miss, you are so lucky! There is a big ship going to the capital today, and it will set sail in half an hour."
Arriving at the dock, Baoshun went to inquire about the ship's situation, and it happened that there was a large ship heading to the capital.
"Then let's eat something nearby and buy some dry food or ingredients. Baoshun, go ask the boatman if you can use the kitchen."
Qiu Yinong made arrangements and gave instructions in an orderly manner, while Sun Guiying watched with satisfaction.
Qiu Yuwan blushed and said to Sun Guiying, "Mom, my niece is more stable than my daughter."
"He is indeed steady and a man who can accomplish great things." Sun Guiying laughed heartily, feeling very pleased.
When Mrs. Qiu heard her mother-in-law and sister-in-law praising Qiu Yinong, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Baoshun quickly asked back and got a positive response. Qiu Yinong immediately arranged for Baoshun and Shouquan, who were following him, to buy ingredients.
Then we found a restaurant near the pier to have dinner, and after dinner it was almost time to board the ship.
Mu Yunzheng paid the boat fare first, and Qiu Yinong thanked him sweetly, flattering him without asking for any money.
"Okay, okay, I can't take it anymore. When we get to the capital, your uncle will give you another gift." Mu Yunzheng begged for mercy unbearably, which made Qiu Yuwan giggle.
"Then don't forget my uncle." Qiu Yinong looked like a money-grubber.
Chu Hongyun stood behind her and looked at her with a smile on his face.
He also began to think about what rare items he had in his house, so that he could have someone take them out and give them to the little girl to play with.
"Weigh anchor!" the boatman shouted.
Qiu Yinong walked onto the deck and watched the big ship slowly sail away from the shore. The crew's cheers and shouts were quite interesting.
The days that followed were a bit boring. Every day I either stayed in the cabin or went to the deck to get some fresh air and look at the river view.
The next morning, the ship stopped at Huaiqinfu Wharf for two hours.
Before Qiu Yinong went to Huaiqin Mansion, she prepared to go down for a walk. Mu Yunzheng arranged for someone to look after the carriage, and Qiu's father, mother and others also prepared to get off the boat to go for a walk.
"You young people, go and have a look around by yourselves. Don't worry about us. We'll go for a walk and then go back to the ship. Don't miss the time and come back early."
Sun Guiying said to Qiu Yinong, who was immediately happy when she heard it: "Don't worry, Grandma, we will definitely not miss the time."
"Grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, your daughter is leaving first." Qiu Yinong was so happy that she was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and she ran a long distance away in an instant.
Qiu Hanqing quickly said to Chu Hongyun: "This girl is using Qinggong, you should follow her quickly."
"Okay." Chu Hongyun nodded with a smile and quickly caught up.
Qing Yuan and Zi Yao also hurriedly followed. Sun Guiying was a little dumbfounded: "No, the two girls beside Yi Er can also practice martial arts?"
"Yes, they were all arranged by Ayun. Jinghe and the others also know some leg skills." Mother Qiu said with a smile.
