Madam Zhang: "Sister-in-law, why did you prepare so much stuff?"
The car was completely full!
"Nothing fancy, just local specialties. Hehe."
"That's right, we're family, why are you being so polite? Let's go."
Madam Zhang and Chi Yongguang did not refuse any further, and after saying a few words of farewell, they left.
“Father and Mother, we’re going back now. And starting today, after Little Lock comes back from school, he’ll come here to learn medicine from Uncle Li.”
In the end, Chi Dashan and his wife also chose to respect their son's opinion.
Everyone's life is short.
So let the child choose what they like.
"Won't this be too tiring?"
The elderly couple felt a pang of heartache looking at their ten-year-old grandson.
He studied during the day and learned medicine at night.
How can a ten-year-old child endure that?
"It's okay, Grandpa and Grandma, I can manage," Little Lockhead said softly.
Sister-in-law Chi also said, "Father, Mother, we've already discussed it with Xiao Suotou. If he can't persevere, we'll let him take the imperial examination for the first degree. After that, whether he continues his studies or studies medicine is up to him."
At least passing the preliminary examination (童生) provides some guarantee for making a living in the future.
This was also one of the conditions under which they agreed to let Xiao Suotou study medicine.
The little padlock readily accepted.
Although Xiao Suotou is stubborn, he is also a child who listens to adults' opinions.
"Okay, as long as you've discussed it and decided, that's fine. Also, don't let Changsheng get too tired."
"Know."
After everyone left, Aunt Chi took Zi Xun to the slave trader to buy two servants.
Aunt Chi said, "Now that you're pregnant, your body isn't what it used to be. You need someone to take good care of you, but I'm getting old, and even if I take care of you, you might not be comfortable. So let's hire two people to take care of you."
After giving birth, she went to the fourth son and his wife's home to take care of the baby.
That's enough.
Zi Xun bowed her head in gratitude: "Thank you, Mother."
"Hey, why are we talking like this as a family?" Aunt Chi was a little unaccustomed to her daughter-in-law bowing and thanking her so often.
Chi Tang was worried about Meng Kuo's condition and was somewhat anxious.
So I decided to go to the capital.
He left a few words for his family and then took Xiaohong, Xiaolan, and the others on horseback to the capital.
Upon arriving in the capital, Chi Tang went directly to the residence of the Eldest Princess.
Huo Chenyi was naturally not in the mansion.
Chi Tang waited for about half an hour before Huo Chenyi arrived in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just worried about the melon, so I came to see if there was any news."
She was really worried that the melons might produce some kind of rotten fruit.
Huo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Chi Tang to sit down: "Don't worry, Sweet Melon was ordered to go to the border city to investigate Prince Anping. So His Majesty also sent people to protect Sweet Melon."
"But I dreamt about it, which means it was possible. Even with people protecting Melon, it still happened!"
Chi Tang was getting anxious.
Huo Chenyi took her hand and pressed it down slightly: "Tangtang, don't worry. As you reminded me, I interrogated Shen Nanxun, and he does indeed have a way to transmit messages within a day. So I have already passed the message to Tiangua."
"That's good, that's good."
She didn't want to know what the method was.
Because none of that matters anymore.
"Tangtang, His Majesty wishes to see you," Huo Chen said once he saw that Chi Tang was relieved.
Chi Tang was a little nervous. She moved her lips a couple of times before saying, "What does Your Majesty want to see me for?"
She was genuinely scared.
She didn't know how those time travelers managed to be so relaxed and approachable when they met His Majesty, not only without being nervous.
Maybe she's just a bit of a loser.
"Don't worry, His Majesty really means no harm. You've done so much, it's only natural that His Majesty would like to see you."
"……All right."
What else can we do?
She couldn't possibly disobey the imperial decree.
Soon, the two arrived at the palace.
Huo Chenyi led Chi Tang to a side hall, which was not so magnificent, but was full of scholarly atmosphere.
"Wait here for a moment, I'm going to the Imperial Study."
"good."
Chi Tang glanced around and then stopped looking, obediently finding a place to sit down.
But not long after I sat down, I heard a "clicking" sound coming from all around me.
Chi Tang was startled.
Listen closely, and you can hear a crackling sound, as if it's stealing food from everything.
Chi Tang mustered his courage and searched around, finally finding a little girl under a desk.
The little girl was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her round apple-shaped face was extremely cute, and her eyes were clear, innocent, and naive.
They're so chubby and cute!
Chi Tang blinked and asked, "Why aren't you coming out to eat?"
The other person replied matter-of-factly, "I'm sneaking a bite to eat, so of course I can't come out."
Chi Tang: ...
No problem.
"Aren't you tired?"
I can't even straighten my neck.
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything. After hearing what Chi Tang said, the little girl immediately felt a soreness in her neck and wanted to straighten it up.
result……
Ouch!
The little girl rubbed her sore head and slowly crawled out from under the table.
She looked at Chi Tang curiously and asked, "I've never seen you before. Who are you?"
"My name is Chi Tang. What's your name?"
Chi Tang guessed that the young girl in front of him might be a young lady from some family.
Or perhaps a princess?
How could Emperor Huiwu's daughter be hiding under the table to steal food without anyone noticing?
