In severe cases, the victims are sold off without any room for pleas for leniency.
Although Xu Han punished them severely, she also paid her servants a lot of wages.
In addition, there are holiday benefits and bonuses, which are much more than other companies.
This is precisely why Xu Han is ruthless in dealing with people, yet so many people still vie to work for the Lu family—it's simply because the family offers them too much.
After the two children's one-month celebration, Xu Han took advantage of the popularity of the new dishes and immediately opened a restaurant.
Because they had the idea of opening a restaurant before, they had been training a team of chefs.
It's not too hasty to open the restaurant now, because Xu Han had already planned the opening of the restaurant when she was holding the full moon banquet.
The restaurant will open for business directly ten days after all the full moon celebrations.
Because of the food tasting at the previous full moon banquet, and because Li Feng had been promoting the restaurant recently, many people came on the opening day.
Some came to support Xu Han out of respect, while others came simply to try the new dishes.
Regardless of the reason, Xu Han is very grateful to everyone for coming to support her.
On the opening day, she even left her two children at home and came to the restaurant herself to entertain everyone.
Since Xu Han finished her postpartum confinement, she has gradually started to take over the business.
With servants to take care of the two children and a wet nurse to keep them company, she didn't need to worry about them much.
Even so, the child was still too young, and Xu Han didn't have enough energy to take over all the business matters. So she only inquired about major decisions, and left the rest of the minor matters to Lu Chuan or his subordinates.
After the restaurant opened successfully, there was nothing else going on in the county town for the time being.
Xu Han's family stayed in the county town for a few more days before returning to the mountains.
However, only Xu Han, Lu Chuan, and their two newborn children returned this time.
Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest were about to take Ze'er and Mu'er on another trip.
Having learned from her previous experience, and having indeed witnessed the progress and changes in her two children, Xu Han did not object this time.
The four people who went on their travels set off before the New Year.
This time, they went out without a destination or a return date, their main goal being to go wherever the road took them.
After returning to the mountains, the couple resumed their previous life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
With the company of her two twins and the help of servants to take care of the children, she lived a very comfortable life.
Every day, besides eating and drinking, we go hiking in the mountains together. The New Year is just around the corner, and now is the perfect time for hunting.
Lu Chuan was never home. Whenever he had time, he would run up the mountain with Han Qi. Xu Han would also go with them when she had time.
However, every time she went there, Han Qi would voluntarily go into the mountains by herself, tactfully leaving the space to the couple.
For a moment, time seemed to have returned to before the drought. The two of them went into the mountains every day, and would try to bring home anything edible they could find.
It's not that they don't have the money to buy these things, or that no one picks them; the main thing is that they all really enjoy the feeling of bringing them home.
Every trip into the mountains yields something new, with different things happening every day, and the two of them are completely absorbed in it and enjoy it immensely.
During the time that Xu Han and Lu Chuan went into the mountains every day, Li Wen also sent news.
After the restaurant opened, Li Wen went to the capital, where there were four shops bestowed by the current emperor. Xu Han thought that since there were shops, they should not be wasted, so she opened a sweet potato wine and canned fruit shop in the capital.
Li Wen wrote that the opening of the shop in the capital was very popular. Every day, guests came and went in an endless stream, and the shop was always full of people.
Of course, the store's turnover was also exceptionally high. Li Wen sighed and said, "It's still easier to make money in the capital."
Xu Han deeply agreed with this sentiment. As the saying goes, there are many wealthy, powerful, and influential people in the capital, and that's no exaggeration.
The capital city is full of high-ranking officials and nobles. Xu Han's current rank is really nothing special in the capital.
At best, she could be considered a rising star, but a rising star is incomparable to a century-old clan. Moreover, Xu Han was merely a female official without any real power.
To put it nicely, it's a reward from the emperor for your merits; to put it bluntly, it's just a way to get rid of you!
However, Xu Han didn't care about these things, and she never thought about settling down in the capital.
Although the place I live in now is a small county town, I am the only one who is in charge and I don't have to be bullied by others. Isn't that the best thing?
As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, she can live a peaceful and stable life. Xu Han is quite enjoying her current situation.
Besides, she has her own home here, as well as her workshop and land. She doesn't want to give up what she has now and start all over again in a new place.
With the little money she earns, it wouldn't be enough to live a life of luxury in the capital. If she really went to the capital, her life would certainly not be as good as it is now.
She should stop making herself uncomfortable and just enjoy herself in her own little corner of the world.
Spring came and autumn went, flowers bloomed and faded, and three years later everyone met again.
It was summer, and Lu Chuan arrived in Nancheng with Xu Han and their two children as promised.
Over the past three years, the group had barely met in person, communicating only through letters. Everyone was very excited to finally meet this time.
Two months ago, Lu Chuan and Xu Han set off with their child, traveling and stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery and local customs.
The group traveled at a leisurely pace, and after two months, they finally arrived at their destination.
When they arrived with the children, Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest had already arrived three to five days earlier with Mu'er and Ze'er.
In the past three years, the Taoist priest and his companions have only returned once, during the Chinese New Year last year.
The four of them lived at home for more than half a year before continuing their travels.
Unlike the previous two times, Yunhua went along this time as well.
Now that the world is at peace and the people are living in contentment, Yunhua has some free time, so he shamelessly follows the Taoist priest and the others to travel around.
This meeting was arranged in advance by everyone, and a time was agreed upon so that the group would meet in Nancheng.
Mu'er and Ze'er learned that their father and mother would be taking their younger siblings to Nancheng in the next two days, and that they would be waiting at the county gate every day to pick them up.
They were just looking forward to seeing their father and mother whom they hadn't seen in a long time, as well as their sweet and soft little sister and their cute and lovable little brother.
And indeed, as soon as their carriage entered the city gate, Mu'er and Ze'er rushed out.
Xu Han was surprised that the two of them would be waiting for them in person. She had thought that when Yunyun said someone would pick them up, she meant the servants in the house. She didn't expect it to be her two sons.
The family was naturally very excited. Lu Chuan let the two children get into the carriage, and the family began to chat about their recent situation while sitting in the carriage.
