It was already noon when the family of three arrived in Mingyang County. During the process, Dabao was taken by his father to ride on a big horse, and Erbao was also taken by several guards to fly again and again.
Yu Yuanzheng rode a horse alone, but she did not dare to run out of the team alone, and stayed by Shangguan Ziqi's side.
Sanbao catching butterflies also satisfied her.
While the horse was resting, I chased it on the grass for a while.
They didn't inform Shangguan Ru first, but came directly.
Qingfeng led them to the small courtyard where they had been brought here before.
The door was open, and there was a gatekeeper at the door, an old man. Qingfeng knew at a glance that he was not the family that had sent the gift from the palace, but an additional purchase.
The old man was startled to see so many people coming, but he still came forward tremblingly.
"Excuse me, which family is the guest?" Qi saw that there were female relatives.
And his master's family is looked after by the county magistrate, so he is more confident.
"Hurry up and report to your master that someone has come to the mansion." Qingfeng stepped forward and said.
The old man did not dare to delay and ran in hurriedly.
"Madam, madam, a guest is coming."
Shangguan Ru had already heard the sound of horses neighing and was walking out.
When she saw it was Shangguan Ziqi, she smiled excitedly.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Shangguan Ru stepped forward happily.
He was even happier when he saw there were three little ones in the carriage.
"Hey, Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, you all came to see your aunt?" Then she reached out and picked up Dabao, who came out first from the carriage.
"Aunt." The three children actually remembered their aunt and called her clearly.
"Oh!" Shangguan Ru kissed Dabao hard on the face.
"Sister Ru. I haven't seen you for a long time. I came here to see you. I'd like to have a meal here as well." Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.
"I'm so happy that you can come." Shangguan Ru smiled even sweeter. She was really happy to see her relatives.
Yu Yuanzheng saw that Shangguan Ru was in a good mental state. She was not wearing fancy clothes, but simple clothes of ordinary people, and she did not wear complicated jewelry.
She really showed her filial piety very well.
Alas, her husband must have accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to have received her love.
"Come on, go inside."
Shangguan Ziqi asked Qingfeng to book an inn, and then led the way into the courtyard.
But as soon as they entered, they saw Lord Zhong in casual clothes, holding little Yue'er and waiting at the door of the main hall.
What is going on?
"This humble official greets the eldest son, the eldest young lady."
"Master Zhong, please don't be so polite." Shangguan Ziqi said with a smile, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
This is asking, why is he here at this time, isn't he at work?
By the way, it’s lunch time now, so I guess I’m here to eat for free.
"Today is Yue'er's third birthday. Are you here to celebrate Yue'er's birthday?"
Zhong Weiliang was very open and frank, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all about being seen here.
"Ah, is this Yue'er's birthday? I'm so sorry, uncle didn't know."
Yu Yuanzheng took Xiao Yue'er from Zhong Weiliang and apologized to her, "I'll take you to buy gifts later, okay?"
"Uncle, uncle and aunt, Yue'er doesn't want any gifts. Yue'er is happy just to see you and uncle." Little Yue'er's cute little face smiled brightly.
She even took the initiative to kiss Yu Yuanzheng on the face, a move that was taught to her by Yu Yuanzheng.
"Okay, come in and sit down and chat." Shangguan Ru led everyone into the room.
Yu Yuanzheng unexpectedly saw a large gift box in the main hall.
It should be that the county magistrate bought it for his adopted daughter.
Shangguan Ru also arranged for her servants to buy some ready-made meals from a nearby restaurant and have them delivered directly to her.
It's too late to arrange to cook now.
With their arrival, the whole courtyard suddenly became lively.
Several children are about to play together.
Xiao Yue'er's personality has also changed a lot and she has become much more lively.
Leading a few puppies chasing each other in the yard.
The adults talked about what happened after they separated.
Since Shangguan Ru came here and settled down, her heart has calmed down. She is ready to live her own life and raise her daughter.
She had 100,000 taels of silver given by Shangguan Ziqi, so she had the confidence to do anything.
He bought a shop in the county and started a cloth and clothing business.
With Zhong Weiliang watching over it, no one dared to do anything bad, and the business was going pretty well.
Planning to open another one.
Life is peaceful and smooth.
After receiving the news, the couple completely put their worries to rest.
It was the right thing to do to have her here at that time.
The food will be delivered soon.
After dinner, Yu Yuanzheng wanted to buy a gift for Xiao Yue'er. Shangguan Ziqi wanted to follow, and Lord Zhong followed too.
The woman was shopping in the shop while two men were chatting about politics in the back.
"My Lord, the war has started again at the border." Zhong Weiliang sighed with melancholy.
"Yes." Shangguan Ziqi narrowed his eyes, looking very serious.
"Sir, what are the chances of victory for our Wei?" As an official of the Wei Dynasty, Zhong Weiliang was naturally concerned about the war.
If the Wei Dynasty is defeated, the entire Wei Dynasty will be in danger.
His county may not be able to survive in peace.
"No need to say. Canglan has accumulated hatred for many years. They have been preparing for this war for decades. I guess they will not give up until they tear off a few pieces of my Great Wei."
"Oh." Zhong Weiliang also knew.
"But don't worry, our Great Wei is not a coward. Our Great Wei men are brave men. There are countless soldiers who are not afraid of death to defend their country." Shangguan Ziqi suddenly spoke passionately.
"The eldest son said yes, but it would be better if there were fewer sacrifices."
"What does Lord Zhong mean?" Shangguan Ziqi heard something else in his words.
"Master, you will go to the war, right?" Zhong Weiliang looked at him and asked solemnly.
"yes."
"Master, in addition to reading classics, history, and literature, I also like to read some military books. If you go on an expedition, could you take me with you as your assistant?" Zhong Weiliang bowed to Shangguan Ziqi.
"You want to be my military advisor?" Shangguan Ziqi understood what he meant as soon as he heard it.
"I dare not, I just want to do more for the people." Zhong Weiliang was also upright.
"Haha, you, I can't ask for a third place scholar to be my military advisor. I will report to the emperor when I get to the capital and ask him to send a county magistrate again, and then you can go to the capital. Don't worry, sister Ru, I will make arrangements for you."
The implication is that the next person sent to the county will definitely continue to take care of Shangguan Ru's daughter.
This is easy for him to do.
"Thank you very much, Master." Zhong Weiliang bowed again.
At this moment, Zhong Weiliang felt that he had found the right way.
Although he had passed the imperial examination and won the third place, he had no family and didn't know what to do.
Nor do I want to curry favor with the powerful in Beijing.
He was chosen to be a county magistrate, but the emperor did not want him to be too far away from the capital, so he arranged for him to live in a county town outside the capital.
He guessed that the emperor just wanted him to come to Beijing earlier.
Now that he had such an opportunity, he took the initiative.
Especially since he has someone in his heart and wants to take care of someone, he also wants to find a brighter future for himself.
Then there will be more opportunities on the battlefield with the big son.
"Go on." Shangguan Ziqi helped him up and patted him on the shoulder.
At this time, Yu Yuanzheng and Xiao Yue'er also picked out the gifts they liked.
It is a wind chime made of broken jade and bamboo tube.
The clear and beautiful ding-dong sound makes people feel happy.
On this day, Yu Yuanzheng chatted with Shangguan Ru in the courtyard for the whole afternoon.
At night they stayed in a nearby inn.
But the next day, just after dawn, someone came to the palace. It was Anqi sent by the prince.
"Master, hurry to the mansion. There was a fire there last night." As soon as he saw someone, An Qi couldn't wait to report.
"What?" Yu Yuanzheng was shocked. She had lost money.
