Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Half a month later, the new emperor officially ascended the throne and announced to the world that the Yong Dynasty had returned to orthodox rule.

The new emperor was benevolent and as soon as he came to power, he abolished the heavy taxes and levies in various places and turned his attention to collecting taxes from large landowners. Whoever owned more land had to pay heavier taxes.

In response to the problem of an empty treasury, he acted swiftly and decisively, ordering the National Defense General Yu Zi'an to lead people to search and seize the homes of those who were corrupt officials in the Yong Dynasty.

As the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, Gu Rufeng was responsible for judging the crimes of corrupt officials.

Those who should be exterminated will have their entire clans exterminated, those who should be exiled will be exiled, and of course their property will be added to the national treasury.

Yuze, Yuzhen and Yuqi resumed their surnames Xie. Li Feng and others each performed their duties and were responsible for the safety of the palace and the capital.

There were too many termites, and Yu Zian was stopped several times when he wanted to ask for permission to return to Qingzhou.

Yumian Yulin also changed back to his original nature and has been studying madly in the Imperial College. His teacher is still He Yunchuan, but he is now the teacher of two princes.

It seemed that everyone had returned to normal life, except for the three people who escaped from Qingzhou who were the most sober.

"Yanyan, why is it getting hotter?" Old Mrs. Yu wiped her forehead with a handkerchief. She had clearly worn a cotton coat when she came here.

"Mom, this is the southernmost tip of the Dayong Dynasty, the place closest to the sun, and it must be getting hotter and hotter." This was the only explanation she could give. Could it be tropical or subtropical?

Since I can't explain it clearly, it's a good reason to use it.

"Mom, look what that is?" Yu Xiu's face was full of excitement. He had taken off all his clothes except his underwear. If Lan Qiyan hadn't held him down, he would have been able to run naked.

Later I thought that this place is sparsely populated and it’s not shameful anyway.

Lan Qiyan didn't expect that her choice was right. The north was a trap to escape from, the west was full of barbarians, the east was rich and too easy to find, and only the south, by the sea, was sparsely populated and had many small islands.

The most important thing is that the water conservancy was underdeveloped in the Yong Dynasty. It would be so comfortable for him to hide on an island and be the owner of the island.

She doesn't want any of the wealth and glory in the capital. The new emperor was able to fake his death and escape, and he endured hardships for many years before he finally saw the light. She can't guarantee who is a good person.

She only had a mother-son relationship with the former Yuze brothers for a period of time.

But he has no relationship with the three brothers Xie Zezhi and the two brothers Chu Lin.

I have no feelings for Yu Zian at all, so how could a village woman dare to marry into such a class?

It would be better for each person to have an island, a yard, and a vegetable garden, and be self-sufficient.

By the way, it would be even better if we could rescue a few handsome guys who drifted here.

"Mom, it's not dark yet. Can you stop daydreaming? Stop drooling. We have to get on the road." Yu Xiu was helpless. He had to take care of both his nagging grandmother and his daydreaming mother along the way.

I don’t know what my mother was thinking. She kept laughing all the way and drooling. If you don’t know, you would think she was bringing a fool with her.

"My little brat, I'm imagining life on the island in the future. Mom will make you steamed crabs, grilled lobsters, and sashimi. You can drink coconut water, feel the sea breeze, and sunbathe. What a wonderful life."

"Yanyan, how long do we have to walk?"

Lan Qiyan pointed to an island in the west and said, "Mom, do you see that? The island with the richest vegetation is our destination."

"That's in the sea. How do we get there?"

"You can make it, believe me." When she came, she took all the silver left by Yu Zian. Except for the fifty taels on her body, she exchanged the rest for other things, but she hasn't confirmed it yet.

"Yanyan, tell me, how many more hours will it take? Why do I feel like I can't get there?"

"One hour, come on, mom, I'll go get a coconut."

"Don't worry, grandma. We can survive by following my mother."

"Alas, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about your mother. She has paid so much, but in the end..."

Yu Xiu waved his hand, "My mother likes this kind of life. The life in the deep courtyard of the capital is not suitable for us. If my mother stays in the capital, I'm afraid she won't live for a month."

Lan Qiyan was climbing a coconut tree. When he heard Yu Xiu's words, he unconsciously retorted, "Son, you are wrong. Mother will not live for more than a month."

"Can my mother live for two months?"

"I can't survive a day. They are so cunning that they can kill me in a minute."

"Mom, there's no need to belittle yourself like that. Together, the two of us can last at least a month."

Lan Qiyan smiled, climbed up the coconut tree, and raised a big axe. "Make way, I want to chop coconuts."

Just as Yu Xiu and Old Lady Yu were running away, a large pile of coconuts fell to the ground.

He swallowed hard. If this hit him on the head, it would burst into pieces.

Lan Qiyan came down from the coconut tree and cut a hole in the coconut with an axe. "Mom, try it. It's pure natural water. It tastes great."

Yu Xiu couldn't wait any longer, "Mom, I want to drink too."

Beijing City

After Yu Zian finally had some free time, he returned home and started preparing the carriage.

"Master, shall we set off tonight or tomorrow morning?"

"Let's go tonight, so as to avoid any more trouble. I have been feeling something is not right these days."

"Master, maybe you have been too busy recently and you haven't had enough rest."

"I hope so. Where are the people left behind in Qingzhou?"

"Didn't I withdraw? Wasn't it because I was afraid that if I failed, it would be bad if they were implicated."

"No one left?"

"I was so tired that I didn't keep any of them."

"Go find Xie Zezhi and ask him to come over."

"No need, I'm here, Dad..."

"Stop, call me uncle, don't listen to daddy, your dad will chop me up if he hears it."

"I'm used to calling you uncle, so I'm a little uncomfortable with calling you uncle all of a sudden."

"Stop talking nonsense. I have something to talk to you about. Do you have anyone left in Qingzhou?"

"I left the money behind because I was afraid that failure would bring trouble to my mother, so I withdrew all my people."

Yu Zi'an shuddered, feeling that something was not right. "I will leave tonight to pick them up."

"How are you going to accommodate it?"

"I have a marriage certificate with her, so I will definitely bring her to the mansion. Yu Xiu and your grandmother will both stay in the mansion."

"Dad... well, I'm used to it. Uncle, your parents are still alive. How are you going to explain it to grandma when the time comes?"

Yu Zian was stunned for a moment, then said, "Tell the truth."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

"Why?"

"I always feel that grandma knows something. Maybe she won't follow you back."

"If she doesn't come, Yan'er won't come, and Yu Xiu won't come back either. I'm leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in, "Where are you going, An'er?"

Yu Zian replied respectfully, "Mom, I plan to go to Qingzhou."

"We can just ask someone in Qingzhou to get some money. Why do you need to go there in person?"

Yu Zian looked embarrassed, "Mom, she is my wife, how can I leave her alone in Qingzhou?"

"Yu Zi'an, you are still unmarried. It's the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Queen's birthday, so you should go."

"No, my son has already married, so don't deceive yourself." Yu Zian said and left, with Yu Ze following closely behind.
