Ever since Xuan Shen told Li Lanzhen about this matter.
She kept thinking about the best way to handle this problem.
She had just come up with a solution in her mind.
But let's leave that aside for now and discuss it at a family meeting tomorrow.
The following evening, after dinner, Li Lanzhen convened an extended family meeting.
All three in-laws, including Li Erhan's family and Xuan Shen, attended the meeting.
There were too many people, so they all sat in the courtyard.
Li Lanzhen glanced at the various sizes of the courtyard.
"Here's the thing, I called everyone here today to discuss a few things and come up with a decision together."
Han Mingjiang will return to the southwestern border region in a month.
Nizi, I don't know when Han Mingjiang will be back this time.
Logically speaking, it would be best for you two to be together, but the border region is harsh and cold, and I don't want you to take the child there.
This is my idea; what do you think?
Before Xue Nizi could even speak, Li Lanzhen had barely finished speaking when Han Yisong stood in front of her.
He clasped his hands together, knelt on one knee, straightened his body, and spoke loudly.
"Grandma, I want to go to the border with my dad!"
His words surprised everyone! They all stared at him wide-eyed!
Li Lanzhen actually quite admired this grandson.
But she couldn't bear to send her eight-year-old child to the army camp to suffer.
"Song'er, do you know what the border is? What do people do there?"
"Grandma, your grandson knows that's the gate of our Li Dynasty."
There, you'll find heroes like my father. They endure hardship and are unafraid to sacrifice themselves, guarding our gates and preventing wolves and tigers from storming into our country and trampling on our people. So, Grandma, I admire my father very much, and I want to go with him!
"Hahaha, you're such a good son of your father! Alright, your father agrees, I'll take you this time!"
Han Mingjiang strode over, picked up Han Yisong, and lifted him high in the air.
Xue Nizi burst into tears, rushed over and snatched Han Yisong from Han Mingjiang's hands, carried him back to her stool, then picked up Han Yibo and placed him on her lap, holding both children tightly in her arms.
With bloodshot eyes, he roared at Han Mingjiang.
"Han Mingjiang, are you crazy? You don't care about your own life, and you want to take my son with you? You wish! Waaaaah..."
Han Yisong hugged Xue Nizi's neck tightly and wiped her tears with his face.
"Mother, don't cry. I'm determined to go with Father. Don't worry."
After saying that, he broke free from Xue Nizi's arm, jumped down, walked to the well, picked up a stick, and went to the middle of the crowd.
Without saying a word, he began to demonstrate a set of long stick techniques.
All they could hear was the whistling sound of the long stick cutting through the air.
Han Yisong was agile, leaping and bounding, the long staff becoming one with him.
Sometimes as light and graceful as a swallow spreading its wings, sometimes as sharp and fierce as a sword.
After he performed a set of staff techniques, he put away the staff, stood in the center, and stared intently at Li Lanzhen.
"Grandma, how did I do? Am I qualified to go with Father?"
For a long while, Li Lanzhen remained silent; she was shocked.
Li Lanzhen knew that Han Yisong had learned martial arts from Xue Laohu.
Moreover, she also gave the children a powerful pill and continuously used the spiritual spring water in the space to nourish their bodies.
Later, the training camp came here, and the children all trained there.
I never imagined Han Yisong was so outstanding!
Yes, in Li Lanzhen's view, this is excellence. An eight-year-old child who can wield a long stick so skillfully is excellent!
But how could she bring it up? She couldn't bear to let such a young child suffer in the military camp!
Just as she was in a dilemma, Xue Laohu stood up.
He walked over to Xue Nizi, patted her shoulder, and hugged Han Yibo.
“Nizi, listen to your father and let Song’er go with him.”
This child has told me before that he wants to be a great general, to master his skills, and to protect you, his grandmother, and his sisters in the family.
Li Lanzhen looked at Xue Nizi, whose eyes were red and swollen, then glanced at Han Mingjiang, who was standing there dumbfounded, and Han Yisong, who was standing tall and determined.
"Let's talk about this tomorrow. Everyone should go home, calm down, discuss it, and then make a decision."
"Song'er, what do you say?"
Han Yisong looked into Li Lanzhen's eyes and nodded.
"Grandson will listen to his grandmother."
Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was in low spirits, Li Lanzhen sighed.
"The second thing is that Xue Bao will also be going to the capital to take up his post in a month."
Han Yinan and several of his children are also going to the capital to accompany the Crown Prince in his studies.
And the children's parents all agreed.
Here's what I'm thinking, what do you all think?
When Xue Bao goes, he must take Han Yuemei with him. They have only been married for a short time and cannot be separated for an extended period.
Today, Master Xu suggested that Han Mingxiang and Lu Boyan also go to the capital to find a good academy, study diligently for half a year, and then participate in the imperial examination.
I thought about it and it works.
After Xue Bao arrived, the emperor bestowed upon him a house, and he and his wife lived there.
Li Lanzhen stopped and turned to look at Xue Laohu.
“My dear in-law, I’m planning to open a grain shop in the capital.”
Han Minghai had prepared all the preliminary work, and the shops had already been purchased.
I'm going to hand this grain shop over to you.
Therefore, you and your mother-in-law can accompany Xue Bao to the capital together.
Han Mingxiang and Shu Lan took their children with them. He was also busy with his studies, and these children would need a home after they arrived.
I was thinking of having Grandma Gou Dan come along to cook a meal and watch over the children.
Let's all go back and discuss this idea, and see what we think of it.
Han Shunde did not return today because he was at a general store in Youzhou City.
Liu Zhaodi then spoke up, "Lanzhen, I think your consideration is quite good."
Gou Dan went to the capital, and his grandmother was very worried about him. It would be better to let her go instead.
Grandma Gou Dan's health has improved significantly in the past two years. She's a great cook, very attentive, and good at taking care of the children.
No one else had any objections.
Li Lanzhen looked at Han Mingxiang and said, "Mingxiang, who else do you want to bring? Make plans early and let me know when you've thought it through."
Han Mingxiang nodded.
“Mother, Lu Boyan has gone to the capital, and I’m afraid he won’t be living in the same courtyard as me.”
He once told Master Xu that he wanted to buy a small courtyard in the capital, find an academy there, study properly, and get away from his father and stepmother's family in Youzhou City.
Unfortunately, his wife's health had always been poor, so he didn't leave.
Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "Okay, if he has nowhere to go, he can stay in the same courtyard as you."
It would be best if he bought a yard and lived alone.
Seeing that everyone's expressions had calmed down, Li Lanzhen brought up the third matter.
"The third thing is that we want to open a furniture store in Youzhou City, mainly selling furniture made by my father and his family."
This furniture store was handed over entirely to my dad and his family.
I'd like to inform everyone about this here.
Looking at the darkening sky, Li Lanzhen said, "It's getting late, so I'll stop here. You should all go home and discuss it. If you have any ideas, tell me as soon as possible."
