The people of Mingzhou were simple and honest, and the locals at the docks weren't surprised to see such a large ship moored there. Everyone in Mingzhou knew it was a ship built by Qianjimen. Qianjimen also had other smaller boats for the daily travel of the people of Mingzhou, which were provided free of charge.
Therefore, the Qianji Gate was like a local tyrant in Mingzhou, and the government had to rely on the Qianji Gate for many things.
However, the officials in Mingzhou were the happiest, because of the existence of the Qianji Gate, there were almost no fights, petty thefts, murders, or arson in Mingzhou.
People's livelihoods are also very prosperous thanks to the various mechanisms that make life more convenient, such as those made by the gate system.
When Xiao Sheng saw Mingzhou like this, he didn't think of the Xiao family's achievements, but rather the vitality of the local people.
Only people who love life and love their land can live a stable and happy life.
Is this my mother's hometown? The unpolluted air feels so good!
[Candied hawthorn berries, it's a pity I can't eat them now. I remember when my dad came home from work, he always liked to buy me a skewer. I would share them with him, but he always said he didn't like them.]
I wonder how Father is doing in the other world. I really miss him.
Hearing Li Xingran's thoughts, Li Ting knew that his daughter was thinking of her father from her previous life again, and he hugged Li Xingran tightly.
Li Ruizhang saw many novel things and, along with his younger brothers, used the spare change he had saved to buy many toys for Li Xingran.
Xiao Sheng also carried a considerable amount of money with him on this trip.
Little Ma'er was tearful and worried about the Crown Prince, wanting to come along, but unfortunately he couldn't bring so many people, so he had to send Little Ma'er back to the East Palace and let him manage the East Palace with Qianmian.
Qianmian knew what Mingzhou was and what kind of entity the Qianji Sect was, so he wasn't worried.
Besides, Li Ting can protect even the Southern Chen Kingdom, so how could he not protect a crown prince?
While the Crown Prince is away from the capital, Qianmian can thoroughly investigate the intricate web of power within the palace.
The old palace maid in the Cold Palace was arranged by Li Ting to go to the Li family before he left. Of course, she also escaped the palace by faking her death.
While in the Cold Palace, the old woman was disheveled and rarely seen.
Once she left the palace, she regained her original appearance, and even Shen Qingqing couldn't recognize her.
Li Ting took the children for a while and strolled around Anping Town in Mingzhou Prefecture, buying a lot of food, drinks and other necessities.
We rented a car from a porter's guild in Anping Town and slowly made our way up Tianji Mountain.
The Gate of the Dipper is located on Tianji Mountain.
This mountain isn't very high, but it's full of strangely shaped rocks, and walking through it feels like being in a fairyland.
The flowers and plants in the mountains are diverse, and some flowers do not seem to bloom at this time of year, but they are in full bloom on Tianji Mountain.
Wow, Tianji Mountain feels like a paradise on earth! The grass is lush and green, and fallen petals are everywhere.
Li Ruiqi: My sister is also so good at writing?
Xiao Sheng: Li Xingran, when you grow up, your liberal arts scores will probably surpass even the Grand Tutor's.
The gate should be even prettier; after all, the area in front of our house is already so beautiful, it wouldn't be right if the gate wasn't!
Hehe, I'll be able to see Mommy soon!
I really want the dark spots on my face to disappear! Otherwise, my grandparents will probably be disappointed!
Ding—the dark spot disappears.
Hearing Li Xingran's thoughts, Li Ting looked down at Li Xingran in his arms.
Then Li Xingran saw her father break into a big smile.
"The soft black spots have actually disappeared! Doctor Ouyang was right after all; they will disappear on their own as you grow up."
Li Ruiyue happened to be walking next to Li Ting and quickly came over to take a look. Li Ting had no choice but to stop.
Xiao Sheng: Li Xingran looks really good! What will she be like when she grows up? I'm kind of looking forward to it.
"Little sister, little sister, beautiful little sister. A lovely little sister with pink and tender skin. Grandpa and Grandma will be so happy to see her!" Li Ruiheng clapped his hands and shouted excitedly.
My father and mother are both so good-looking. If I were to grow up to be ugly, wouldn't I be letting down their good genes?
Hsiao Sheng: What are genes?
Li Ting gently tugged at Li Xingran's clothes, silently looking forward to his little daughter growing up.
Along the way, Li Xingran kept her eyes open and looked around. She saw many flowers and plants that she had never seen before.
The climate on Tianji Mountain is pleasant; it's like a place like Kunming.
Suddenly, Li Xingran spotted a lot of mushrooms. She excitedly shouted:
"Daddy, Daddy, there are so many mushrooms in the woods over there! They're all edible, delicious mushrooms!"
Hearing Li Xingran's cheers, Li Ting walked into the woods.
This is termite mushroom; it's especially delicious in chicken soup. Father, I don't want to go back to the capital; I want to stay at Tianji Mountain forever.
When the others saw Li Ting stop and enter the woods, they followed to see what was happening.
When Fan Zu'an saw the mushrooms covering the ground, he jumped up with joy.
"Big brother, Second Sister's territory is truly a wonderful place! These mushrooms are absolutely delicious! Quickly, all of you pick some. When we get to Qianji Gate, I'll make some soup, and I guarantee you'll never forget the taste."
Xiao Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
Dr. Fan said something similar to what Li Xingran said. Could they be from the same place?
Xiao Sheng felt he needed to get out and see more of the world, otherwise his horizons would be too narrow. Luckily, he had insisted on coming along this time.
Li Ruijin's eyes lit up when she heard there was something delicious to eat.
He was tired of the food in the capital and finally got to try something different.
These mushrooms are in season now. In a couple of days, some will rot. As they rot, they release a wonderful fragrance. The air in these mountains smells especially pleasant; I imagine it's because of the rich biodiversity here, the fragrances of various plants blending together! It's so wonderful here! A paradise on earth!
