Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

In fact, Xiaolan's family roughly knew the purpose of Sheng Hong's return, but they had to interrogate him clearly. If the old man followed Sheng Hong and left, if any accident happened again, their family would be able to take the initiative.

Seeing that his apology was rejected, Sheng Hong was questioned one after another by Xiao Lan, and some of her questions hit the nail on the head, making it difficult for him to speak. He couldn't help but feel very anxious and stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to sit or stand, and didn't know how to answer Xiao Lan's questions.

After a while, Sheng Hong sat back in his chair, with a broken jar in mind, "I came here to take my grandpa, grandma and Aunt Chunhua back to Hejian County. My father felt very guilty about abandoning my grandpa and grandma, so he specially asked me to come and take them back this time."

"Brother Sheng Hong, you are a scholar, so you understand more than a little girl like me. I don't need to tell you how old our grandparents are. I'm sure you know it well. They can't stand your torture anymore."

"If something unexpected happens to the old man and the old lady again this time, my uncle will no longer be in this position. Originally, I wanted to call my uncle back and have him stay at home to serve the old man and the old lady, but my grandparents were soft-hearted and felt sorry for their eldest son. Thinking that his position was not easy to come by, they concealed the ugly things you did, but you have to be aware of it. God is watching what you do, and we are all watching you in Shengjia Village."

"Sheng Hong, go back and tell your father what I said. If the old man and the old lady make any more mistakes, his career as an official will be over." Sheng Xuan also looked at Sheng Hong and said, "Abandon the old couple again, and you guys try it."

"Uncle San, don't worry. When we take my grandpa and grandma back home this time, we will take good care of them and will never abandon them again." Sheng Hong quickly assured.

"Things are done, not said. As for whether the old man and the old lady will follow you, it depends on what they think." Sheng Xuan said.

Sheng Hong naturally hoped that Old Master Sheng and Cui would go back with him. As long as the old couple stayed in Shengjia Village for one day, it would be evidence that his father Sheng Hong was unfilial. This was equivalent to his third and fourth uncles holding the handle on his family. As long as the two families went to the government office to pass on some information, his father's hard-earned official position would be taken away.

Hearing Sheng Xuan say this, Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Grandpa, Grandma, we really know we are wrong, just follow me, I will definitely take good care of you."

When Xiao Lan saw that the old man and Mrs. Cui did not express their opinions immediately, she knew that the old couple wanted to take advantage of her. If she really followed Sheng Hong back so happily, wouldn't they lose face?

"Brother Shenghong, since you are back, you should stay at home first. Although your exam is a big deal, nothing is more important than filial piety. You stay here and serve our grandparents. When our grandparents get in touch with each other and are willing to go back with you, or when someone from Hejian County comes to take care of our grandparents for you, you can go back." Xiao Lan said.

"That won't work..." Sheng Hong was unwilling to stay and quickly stood up to retort.

"Let's do it this way." Sheng Xuan slammed the table and made the final decision.

"Brother Sheng Hong, although people in our village don't know everything about what your family has done, they know some of it. Besides, everyone in this area knows you, so you'd better give up the idea of ​​going back alone. I'll spread the word that you can't leave Shengjia Village if you want to." Xiao Lan said.

"But I still have to take the exam..." Sheng Hong slumped in his chair and said somewhat discouraged.

His uncle's family was strong enough to do so. Sheng Xuan was determined not to let him go, so he really couldn't leave. In recent years, his uncle's family had gained more and more prestige in the village. In addition, his family had a workshop and saved so many lives during the escape. All the people in the surrounding villages would be grateful to him.

"Dad, Mom, we're going back first. You two should think about whether to go back with Sheng Hong these days. Don't worry, I'm going to say this today. No matter where you are, we will always be your strong backing." Sheng Xuan said goodbye to Grandpa Sheng. "It's just right for Sheng Hong to fulfill his filial duty on behalf of his father these days, and you two should also take good care of your health."

Xiao Lan has been busy these days. She asked someone to tell Hu Yidao to come to Shengjia Village.

"Uncle Hu, last time I was in the city, I reached a deal with Master Shen Liu. Next month, I have to follow his caravan to Xingyuan Prefecture to do some business." Because Hu Yidao and Xiao Lan were family, Xiao Lan didn't say too much to him and just read her plan to him, "I plan to take you with me this time. You can tell me if you have any concerns. It's okay if you don't want to go. I'll think about other people."

Hu Yidao was very excited when he heard Xiao Lan's plan. You know, they were traveling with Shen Liu's caravan, so their safety could at least be guaranteed. From what Xiao Lan said, she was also going to do business this time. If this route could be completed, he would also make a fortune. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he naturally had to seize it.

"Xiao Lan, thank you Uncle Hu. You treat me as your own family and tell me such good news. I will discuss it with your Aunt Liu when I get home. I guess she will agree to let me go. Don't worry, Uncle Hu will take care of your safety on the way." Hu Yidao was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears.

Xiao Lan also mentioned to Sheng Xuan and Zhang about going to Xingyuan Mansion to do business, and this time they heard Xiao Lan's plan in detail. Sheng Xuan knew that this was the condition of Xiao Lan's negotiation with Shen Liu. Xiao Lan went to Xingyuan Mansion to do a business for Shen Liu, and Shen Liu erased the relationship between Mr. Sheng and the in-laws of the leader of Black Tiger Mountain and released them from prison.

"Xiao Lan, let your father accompany you. You are still so young. Xingyuan Prefecture is the territory of the Hu people. I am worried about you going." Zhang said with some concern.

"Mom, we still have a month to prepare. Don't worry, I will plan the route well this month. And this time, Mr. Shen Liu will send someone to follow us, so we will be safe. We have too many things to do at home, and we can't do without my dad, so let him stay at home." Xiao Lan said.

"Uncle Hu, I wrote a list. You should buy the supplies according to the list this month. Whether you go or not, try to buy all these things." Xiao Lan said as she handed a list to Hu Yidao. "Don't worry about the money. I will bring you part of it this time, and I will bring the rest to the capital in a few days."
