Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

When we arrived at the new yard, we found that Liu Ruxu and Leng Yuxuan were also helping with cleaning.

It was winter, and both of their hands were frozen red. There was no hot water, and the clothes they were wearing cost more than 100 taels each and were covered in so much dust that they could no longer be worn.

Leng Ruoxue wanted to remind them, but then she thought, forget it, it was already dirty, there was no point in reminding them, as long as they were happy.

I used well water to wash all the bowls, plates and tea sets I had bought, only to find that I had no pot or firewood.

So after the neighbors finished helping to clean up, Leng Ruoxue gave them some silver, and the three of them sat there in a daze.

Leng Yuxuan and Liu Ruxu’s nails were filled with black mud…

"Mom, I feel like I'm back in Wangjia Village"

Their stomachs were rumbling; they hadn't eaten anything since breakfast.

"Yeah, I have one too. I'm thirsty but I don't have any water to drink."

Leng Yuxuan nodded.

I didn't feel anything when I was working, but now that I sit down, I feel the cold wind blowing.

"Wait, hold on, just wait until your father comes back"

Liu Ruxu herself was hungry and cold, and looked at the two children embarrassedly.

"I was dumbfounded"

Leng Ruoxue slapped her forehead and said, "There is food at the market."

Niang San went to the village market with a dejected look on her face, but the market was already closed...

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

It was almost dark when Leng Zejin came back with the things.

I have a pot, but I don't need to buy firewood.

As a last resort, he knocked on his neighbor's door and bought some firewood.

Wash your hands with hot water, the two children make the beds, and the two adults cook.

They didn't buy any candles, so the four of them ate their meal around the stove using the light from the fire.

Liu Ruxu hadn't cooked for a long time. The rice was a bit mushy, and one of the dishes had no salt or oil, and one was too salty.

As long as it was edible, they were not the kind of people who would waste food. Besides, they were extremely hungry. After eating in a few bites, they boiled some hot water, washed themselves simply, changed into the fine cotton jackets bought by Leng Zejin, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The charcoal brazier in the carriage was placed in Leng Yuxuan's room.

Leng Ruoxue stayed in bed for a long time but couldn't warm up, so she had no choice but to go into the space, take a shower and wash her hair again, and then sleep in the space.

In the morning, Leng Ruoxue was afraid of oversleeping, so she came out of the space very early. It was cold, very cold. She had just warmed up the quilt when she was called up to have breakfast.

Liu Ruxu failed again, and she ate the uncooked rice porridge with some rice crust... and gritted her teeth.

Liu Ruxu then began to feel sorry for the clothes she had taken off yesterday. "If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have done it yesterday. These three sets of clothes are enough to buy a yard."

Fortunately, there were people at the market, so the four of them went to the market to replenish the things they needed at home and bought a bunch of snacks.

We boiled some water, gathered around the table, lit four charcoal basins, and chatted while drinking water and eating snacks.

Then... when it comes to solving the big issues in life, I get into trouble again.

There is no problem using the dry toilet, toilet chips... Anyway, those clothes can no longer be used, so I tore them up, washed them, and used them as temporary toilet cloths, disposable ones.

A wonderful day for the family of four….

There was a charcoal basin in the evening, which was lit in advance, so the room was not so cold anymore. Leng Ruoxue was too lazy to go to the space and insisted on sleeping.

In the morning, Leng Zejin went to report to the military camp. During the Spring Festival, people in ancient times only had two days of vacation, but it was said to be three days. Since he entered the palace on the 30th, it didn't count.

When Leng Zejin came back at noon, Liu Ruxu was coughing, Leng Yuxuan had a runny nose, and Leng Ruoxue had a hoarse voice.

"Dad, find someone to build the kang. The washroom has been built, and running water has been installed. Find someone to deliver the bricks. I will take mom and brother back to the capital first. I will have someone deliver the cement and other things."

Leng Ruoxue pushed the banknote handed over by Leng Zejin. Everyone's condition was not very good now. If they didn't go to the capital to get medicine in time, it would be troublesome if the condition worsened.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to suffer with her father, it’s just that... there are too many unexpected events.

It’s not that work cannot be done in winter, it’s just that it’s very hard work. However, as long as enough money is paid, there are still people willing to come and work.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask for leave and take you back."

Leng Zejin was worried about the three patients going back alone, so he asked for leave on the first day of his shift.

Many people take leave during the Spring Festival, not just him.

After locking the door, the family of four returned to the capital.

He consulted a doctor and got some medicine, then returned to Leng's house.

Just after returning to the Leng Mansion, before getting off the carriage, the anxious housekeeper stopped him, "But them?"

An unknown person asked the housekeeper, and the housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Yes"

"Don't get off the carriage, follow me."

Leng Zejin looked at the butler in confusion.

"We are from the Duke of Wei's Mansion. We have been waiting for you for two days."

The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything. The visitor insisted on waiting and said he would inform him when the visitor came back, but the other party disagreed.

No matter what you ask, you can't get any answer.

"A family member is not feeling well. Can we wait a few days before going?"

“It’s okay, I have to go today.”

The visitor refused to budge.

Leng Zejin didn't know why the other party was so tough. They shouldn't have offended anyone from the Weiguo Mansion.

The visitor secretly snorted in his heart, wondering where the master had gone and the servant didn't even know.

This family is used to postponing visiting invitations on the grounds of being unwell. They were scolded for not inviting anyone yesterday.

If we can’t invite anyone today, does the Duke’s Mansion no longer care about its reputation?

“Follow Him”

Leng Ruoxue had a headache and just wanted to go home and rest quickly.

Hearing that the person was not giving in, he had no choice but to speak.

Although it is the Duke's Mansion, it should not be enough to take their lives.

As long as they are not afraid of getting sick, what else do I have to be afraid of?

there is always a solution to a problem.

Once the people in the Duke's Mansion know that my family is not faking illness, they can reject all future visiting invitations.

The carriage followed the visitor to the Duke's Mansion.

Leng Zejin wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by the man who came. "You are a groom, waiting outside. You don't know any rules at all."

"My wife and my children are inside, why can't I go in?"

Leng Zejin glared at the visitor and said, "Even if it's the Duke's Mansion, you can't force someone to come without a reason."

Leng Zejin's tough attitude made the visitor disdainful, but he still made way for him.

How could a reckless man be able to make any progress after entering the Duke's Mansion?

Because there were outsiders, the visitor did not bring them in directly, but asked a few servants to guard them. After they went in and reported, they invited the visitor to the front yard.

"Did you embroider this piece of embroidery?"

A maid took out the damaged double-sided embroidery and asked Liu Ruxu.

Liu Ruxu suppressed her cough and said, "Yes."

"You come with me"

Leng Ruoxue also followed.

The maid didn't object.

Leng Zejin was puzzled. Was it worth making such a fuss over just a piece of embroidery?

But he also knew that they must have gone to the backyard, and it was not appropriate for a foreigner like him to go in, so he could only wait outside anxiously.

As expected, his family’s roots in the capital were too shallow. He thought that his family was finally reunited and he could protect them, but he was slapped in the face after just one day.
