Aunt Xiao thought it was something else, but when she heard this, she understood: "Of course, then let's arrange the marriage first. The wedding date will be set in two years, and we will pick a good day later."

Porphyry and Rouyue looked at them gratefully: "Thank you."

"What is there to thank me for? If it were the two girls in our family, I would also be reluctant to let them get married so early." Xia Wanniang said with a smile.

Xiao Chiye spoke up at this time: "John, do you plan to let them stay in your clinic or send them to the military camp?"

Rouyue: "John's medical skills are actually more suitable for the military camp. Many civilians are not used to his habit of giving injections at every turn."

Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Then let him go to the military camp. The soldiers in the military camp have no aversion to these things, and he can treat external injuries much faster than Chinese medicine."

Rouyue thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Xingyue said that his anatomy is also very good, we can let Xie the coroner and the others learn from him."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "I think it won't be long before Wei Zhen will be transferred to Northwest City, and Mao Yuan will take over the affairs of North City."

Aunt Xiao: "Is Maoyuan the kid who disliked us farming?"

Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "That's right, he is managing North City very well now, and the people there like him very much."

After agreeing on Xiao Zimu's marriage, they invited a matchmaker to come to their home to handle a series of subsequent matters for the two children, including exchanging engagement letters and proposing marriage.

This busy work lasted for several months, and by the time the imperial edict was received, winter had already arrived.

Wei Zhen took over as the governor of the Northwest, Maoyuan became the new northern city capital, and the officials in the Northwest also underwent a major change.

Xiao Chiye resigned from his position as the commander of the Northwest Army and let Xiao Zimu inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo. He is now just a son-in-law of the emperor.

Several generals, including Yu Gaoyi, also resigned from their positions and chose younger generations to take their places.

When they returned to the capital, they even came to have a drink with Xiao Chiye, and they all got drunk.

In fact, they wanted to stay in the Northwest, but they were afraid that others would use it as a cause of trouble and they would have to return to the capital.

When Xiao Chiye sent them away, he felt very complicated. Most of them were more than ten years older than him.

Having lived in the military camp for most of my life, I am leaving suddenly now. The reluctance in my heart is written in my eyes.

Xia Wanniang walked up to him and watched the boat slowly leave: "Husband, don't be too sad. This transition between the old and the new is inevitable. We have to give the young people a chance, right?"

Xiao Chiye nodded: "Yes, they have been guarding Daxia for many years, and it's time for them to have a good rest."

The two walked hand in hand on the way back, and many people greeted them with a smile when they saw them.

They all knew that Xia Wanniang and Xiao Chiye didn't like people calling them by their titles, so they all called them Third Master and Madam.

Whenever people greeted them, they would respond with a smile.

Xiao Chiye: "Qingfeng and Yunhe said they wanted to take Aunt Gong around."

"It's good to go shopping while we are still able to move. Otherwise, when we are older, we won't be able to go shopping anymore." After saying this, Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye and said, "Take me around for a walk too."

Xiao Chiye smiled and nodded: "Where do you want to go?"

Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "I want to go back to Liuyang Village to take a look."

Xiao Chiye: "Okay, let's ask mom."

When Aunt Xiao heard that they were going back to Liuyang Village, she was very happy: "When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow." Xia Wanniang said.

They had nothing to pack, and now there was nothing for them to worry about, so they all left more coolly than ever before.

Qiu He and Chai Song knew they had to go back, so they bought a lot of gifts to bring back for everyone.

Zhu Yao knew that they were going back, but she didn't react much. She just told them to go early and come back early, and she and Yifeng would wait for them here.

Yifeng looked at her and said, "Aren't you going to ask Madam and the others to take something back?"

Zhu shook his head: "No, it's fine the way it is now."

Xia Wanniang and the others did not force her, as she probably had no attachment to that home anymore!

She also asked Liu Laoshi's family. They now live in the northwest and their two children work in an orphanage.

When he heard that they were going back, he just smiled and told them to have a safe journey and to come back early, and that they didn't need to take anything with them.
