Fan Mingfang, who was sitting in the car at the side, saw Li Qing holding Yangyang through the gap in the curtain. She muttered to herself, “He looks quite good. I wonder if he’s as pedantic and old -fashioned as the others.”

Li Qing felt that someone was looking at him and turned to look at Fan Mingfang’s carriage. Fan Mingfang hurriedly retracted her head.

Li Qing looked around and did not find anyone. Yangyang hugged his neck and whispered in his ear, “Uncle, let me tell you a secret. Father and Mother want to coax Lord Fan’s daughter to your house to be your wife. Sister Fan is very good-looking. Yangyang also likes her to be your wife.”

Li Qing looked at Yangyang and could not help but laugh. He pressed his forehead and whispered with a smile, “My Yangyang is so smart. You can’t say this in front of outsiders, understand?”

Yangyang looked at Li Qing with a smile. “I know. Uncle is not an outsider.

Uncle Yi, Uncle Cai, and Uncle Xiang are not outsiders either. There’s also Brother Seven Pounds and Auntie Yu. Sister Fan will not be an outsider in the future.”

Li Qing looked at Yangyang in surprise. Li Yu laughed when she heard Yangyang’s childish words.

Yangyang looked at Li Yu and pouted. “Mother and Father thought that I was a child and didn’t know what they were talking about. Actually, I know everything. Hmph!”

Li Yu thought to herself that she had to pay more attention in the future. Children didn’t know what they could and couldn’t say. It would be terrible if they made a fool of themselves.

After everyone rested for a while, they continued to get into the carriage and rushed to the city before midnight. The two families said farewell to each other and walked back separately.

When Zhou Jia and the others returned to Guihua Alley on East Street, the door of the Zhou Mansion opened. Ah Lei, the kitchen maid, and the servants all stood at the door to welcome their master’s return. Zhou Jia and Li Qing supported Mr. Wen. Li Yu held Yangyang’s hand and entered the courtyard. She was very satisfied to see that the courtyard was well-managed.

Yangyang looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard and praised, “Wow! They’re so beautiful! They smell so good! Father and Mother, they’re even bigger than our house in Yunzhou. Uncle, where do you live?”

Li Qing pointed at the courtyard in front and smiled. “Uncle lives in the first courtyard. There’s also a garden with a lotus pond behind it. There are also red, white, and black koi in the lotus pond. They’re extremely beautiful. When you have washed up, Uncle will show you.”

Yangyang held Mr. Wen’s hand. “Grandmaster is going too.”

“Alright, Grandmaster will go too.” Mr. Wen looked at Zhou Jia’s family and felt very comforted.

Li Yu smiled and said to Yangyang, “Yang’er, Grandmaster is tired. Let Father serve Grandmaster to wash up and rest for a while.”

“I’ll go too.” Yangyang held Mr. Wen’s hand and left.

Li Yu said to Xing Hua, “When they come in with the luggage, get everyone to go wash up and greet Master. Go back and rest for a while before returning to their posts. Ah Lei and Zhao Cai will bring Grandma Liu and Uncle Liu to familiarize themselves with the house.”

Li Qing said to Li Yu, “Sister, Chu Fu lent us the kitchen maid. Now that Grandma Liu and the others are here, Sister, when do you think we can send her back?”

Li Yu thought for a moment. “Send her back tomorrow! She has worked hard

tor so many days. Remember to give her a red envelope.”

“Alright, go wash up and rest first. I still have a lot to tell you and

Brother-in-law.”

“I have something to say to you too. That little baddie Yang’er has already told you, right? What do you think?”

Li Qing recalled that Yang’er had also said that he liked that girl and trusted Li Yu and Zhou Jia’s judgment. “If I think she’s good, she must be good. You and Brother-in-law can make the decision,” Li Qing said with a red face.

Li Yu looked at him in amusement when she saw that even his ears were red. “You have to be satisfied yourself. After all, she’s the person who will share your life with you. I’ll go take a shower first. Think about it yourself.”

“Got it,” Li Qing agreed and followed Li Yu in.

Li Yu saw that the main room was clean. Gu Yu, Xing Hua, Ji Xiang, and Zhao Cai carried the luggage in. Li Yu entered the room and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.

Ji Xiang called Little Loach and the other newcomers over to greet Li Qing. Li Qing looked at Little Loach and the others and smiled. “You’re all good children. Go wash up and eat something before Uncle Cai brings you to rest.”

The few of them looked at Li Qing with admiration. Mao Dou said to Li Qing, “Young Master, you’re really amazing. You’ve even seen the emperor.”

Li Qing laughed when he heard that. “Our emperor is very young. He’s a wise and mighty ruler.”

The children did not understand what it meant to have a wise ruler. They only understood that His Majesty was very young. Zhao Cai smiled and said to them, “Alright! You’re covered in sweat after sitting in the carriage for so long! Go take a shower.”

The children chattered as they followed Zhao Cai to a room. Zhao Cai looked at the little children around it in surprise and pointed at the room at the side. “That’s the bathroom. The few of you will share a room. If you don’t have enough bedding, look for me to get new ones. The capital isn’t as strict as the border city. Don’t befriend those shady people outside. You have to follow the rules and not embarrass Master and Madam, understand?”

The few of them replied in unison, “Got it, Uncle Cai.”

Zhao Cai looked at them and smiled. “Alright, quickly wash up and go eat. Come back and have a good sleep.”

After Li Yu was done showering, Zhou Jia came out of the bathroom with Yangyang. The kitchen maid sent by Chu Fu, Old Madam Liu, and the others prepared food and sent it to the dining room. Li Yu smiled and said to the cook, “Aunt Xu, sorry to have troubled you these days.”

“Thank you, Madam and Master, for the reward.” Aunt Xu smiled brightly and bowed to thank Old Madam Liu and the others before leaving.

Li Yu said to Xing Hua, who was standing at the side, “Go eat and have a good sleep.”

“Yes, Madam.” Xing Hua bowed and withdrew.

Aunt Xu and the others made porridge and a few side dishes. After they finished eating, Mr. Wen said to Zhou Jia and the others, “You guys chat. I’ll go lie down.”

“Old Master, I’ll send you to your room,” Zhao Cai said with a smile.

Mr. Wen looked at the happy Zhao Cai and patted him. “Alright, look, Ji Xiang and Ruyi are already married. When do you plan to treat us to a wedding banquet?”

“Soon, soon,” Zhao Cai said with a smile, touching his head in embarrassment.

Zhou Jia carried Yangyang, who had fallen asleep during the meal, to bed.

After they sat down together, Li Qing said, “Sister, Brother-in-law, Brother Cai and I have already bought houses. They’re two streets away. Two big ones are on Baohua Street, and the three smaller ones are two streets away. We spent…”

Zhou Jia said, “Alright, since they’re already painted, let Ji Xiang live there with his wife. Zhao Cai’s marriage is also held there.”

Li Yu recalled the letter Li Mei had brought and asked, “Did Laidi and her husband also come to the capital to participate in the examination?”

“They’re here…” Li Qing told Li Yu and her husband what Li Mei had said..
