Upon hearing this, He Tiantian raised her eyes.
To be on the safe side in case of emergencies, the gate to the courtyard was not closed.
Looking out from here, you can see figures moving back and forth, seemingly carrying something. The sound of a lock being opened came from next door, and He Tiantian stood up and said, "I'll go see her; it's been so long since I've seen Old Madam Song."
Everyone else nodded, but after He Tiantian went out, they couldn't help but follow behind.
Madam Song was being helped into the house by her personal maid and servants.
Song Yun, dressed in a brocade jacket and wearing a cloak, followed behind.
He Tiantian greeted her warmly, "Madam Song, you're back."
Upon hearing this, Madam Song looked at He Tiantian with kindness.
"So it's the He family. We were delayed for too long after the New Year, so we came back a bit late."
Director Song also said, "The journey from Beijing is long, and we were delayed on the road for some time."
He Tiantian nodded, after all, Madam Song was getting on in years and couldn't travel fast.
He Shitou, Zhao Xiaolu, and Hong Erniang all stood at the door, looking at Director Song and his group.
Two carriages, laden with large and small packages, were carrying goods from the capital. Although they couldn't see them because they were packed in boxes, they could guess that the contents were definitely valuable.
The gate of the mansion was opened, and Madam Song warmly invited He Tiantian to come in and sit for a while.
They said they brought some fine tea from the capital, and we shared two cups.
He Tiantian looked embarrassed. She couldn't even tell the difference between good and bad tea, let alone drink it.
However, seeing how enthusiastic Madam Song was, He Tiantian couldn't refuse and followed her inside.
After sitting down inside, the servants soon brought over hot tea.
Seven or eight servants began to lift boxes from the carriage, and just listening to the maid standing next to them read out the roster was a treat for the ears.
He Tiantian instantly thought of the long array of rare and precious treasures and fine silks that emperors bestowed upon their concubines in TV dramas. It was comparable to what she was seeing now.
Madam Song chuckled twice. "The world is not at peace these days. I said I wouldn't bring so much stuff back this time, but Yun'er just wouldn't have it."
It's fortunate that they traveled such a long distance without incident.
If we encounter bandits or something along the way, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Upon hearing this, Song Yun quickly replied, "Grandmother, these are all things you'll need. Besides, we're traveling on official roads, so don't worry."
The three of them chatted about recent events, and they couldn't help but mention the tremor they had just experienced.
Madam Song and Song Yun's group were on their way at the time, so they didn't notice anything.
He Tiantian then shared her feelings and also mentioned the earthquake.
Song Yun frowned. "I also have some bad feelings. But if it's an earthquake like Aunt He said, it probably won't be in our area."
Changfeng Village has never experienced anything like this before, but there are some places more than 200 miles to the south that are recorded in historical books.
He Tiantian nodded, "No matter what, let's always be careful, it'll be safer that way."
In this information-isolated era, when something happens, it's like being completely blind, not knowing the cause or the current situation.
He Tiantian chatted for a while and then went back home, as she had many things to take care of.
After breakfast, everyone had their own things to do.
Sun Qi stayed here for one night, and it was time for him to go back.
After formally saying goodbye to He Tiantian's family, Sun Qi went with He Shitou to the stables in the backyard to fetch his beloved horse.
There are three horses in the stable. Besides He Tiantian's horse, Zhao Yan's horse is also occasionally tied up here when needed.
Sun Qi's BMW was tied in the middle, and from a distance, it was the most beautiful horse.
He Shitou looked on with envy, almost drooling.
What a fine horse! I wish he could own one too.
The two foals he and Zhao Xiaohe bought were already quite good, but they couldn't compare to this horse at all.
Sun Qi felt quite proud. However, just as he untied the horse's reins and was about to lead it away, an unexpected incident occurred.
The usually gentle horse stubbornly refused to leave. No matter how Sun Qi tried to persuade it or tug at its neck, the horse wouldn't budge.
"Hey, what's up? Do you like the scenery here or the hay?"
Sun Qi was extremely frustrated. Was this still his obedient horse? After not seeing it for so many days, it was almost like a rebellious son.
Meanwhile, He Tiantian's horse and Zhao Yan's horse were also somewhat agitated.
The two horses stood still, pausing and snorting heavily.
Seeing that things were not going well, He Shitou quickly went to appease his two horses.
"Brother Sun, is it possible that these three horses have been together for so long that they don't want to separate?"
Sun Qi immediately refuted this theory, "Bullshit, they're horses, not people!"
Where did the feelings come from? Where did the reluctance to part come from?
Finally, Sun Qi used a great deal of effort to pull his beloved horse away.
After Sun Qi said goodbye and left, his family members also started to get busy.
With Madam Song back, Zhao Xiaolü also had to get busy.
She's gotten closer to the people next door now, so she routinely goes over every day to ask if there's anything she particularly wants to eat.
He Tiantian and Hong Erniang went to the fields together to check on the cotton planting progress.
The two were considered to own large farms, and they were just waiting for a good harvest so they could happily make a fortune.
