Yun Man looked at the people in front of her curiously: "Are you from outside?"

Gongsun Yinli sighed in disappointment: "Yun Man doesn't even recognize my uncle and grandfather. It really makes me sad!"

Su Tingwan also looked sad: "You don't even recognize your aunt and grandmother. It's a good thing that your aunt and grandmother always thought about you and prepared a gift for you before coming."

Yun Man was confused by these two people: "Who are you? What uncle, grandparents, I don't have anything, wait..."

She thought of something and suddenly widened her eyes: "Could it be that you are?"

Su Tingwan smiled and said, "Do you remember?"

Yun Man covered her mouth in shock and nodded continuously: "Yeah."

She did have a great-uncle and a great-aunt. She had met them in the capital when she was a child, but she was still young at that time and had long forgotten what they looked like. If her mother had not told her about it some time ago, she would not have remembered these two people at all.

"Grandpa, grandma, didn't you two go traveling?" Yun Man greeted them obediently and then asked.

Gongsun Yinli smiled and said, "I've had enough fun, so I came to see you guys."

......

All the maids around Shangguan Tang got married. Some married people from the capital, some married in Qingquan Village, some married in Wenggang Village, and some married into the Huoyan Army and Huoyun Army. Now there are only Xueya and Taohua, the maids in Qingquan Village. Lihua went to Wenggang Village. They all have their own children and live a happy life.

After marrying off the maid, Shangguan Tang did not look for another maid. In the countryside, she did not need many servants. It was enough to have someone to do the housework. No matter how good her life was, she still had to farm, which was a pleasure.

There were a lot of weeds growing in the small vegetable garden, and Shangguan Tang was weeding them now. Nangong Jingxuan had had too many good days, so he lay in bed again.

Shangguan Tang ignored him, as long as this guy didn't cause trouble.

"Mom, there are guests at home!" Yunman's voice came from outside.

Shangguan Tang walked out of the small vegetable garden and saw the courtyard gate was wide open. Yun Man ran in, followed by six people.

The moment Shangguan Tang saw those people clearly, her eyes lit up. She wiped her hands on her clothes and ran out of the vegetable garden quickly.

"Uncle, aunt, you are here!" Shangguan Tang greeted them warmly.

Gongsun Yinli and the other man looked around the yard. There were flowers and grass, a vegetable garden, an orchard, grape racks, swings, a pavilion, a small arch bridge, everything.

The house is not big, but it is exceptionally beautiful.

"The house you built is great. Once we choose the foundation, we will build the house according to your design." Gongsun Yinli said with great satisfaction.

Su Tingwan agreed: "I will build a peach orchard by then, and we can have barbecue in the peach orchard."

Shangguan Tang was surprised: "You two have made up your mind so quickly, do you really want to stay here?"

Gongsun Yinli nodded: "Yes, it's right here."

Su Tingwan said to Shangguan Tang: "My master and I have traveled to so many places and seen countless landscapes. In comparison, Qingquan Village is still the most satisfactory to us. This is a village with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

Shangguan Tang smiled and said, "As long as you are happy."

After entering the house, Gongsun Yinli turned his eyes and looked for Nangong Jingxuan: "Where is Jingxuan?"

Shangguan Tang said: "Sleeping."

Gongsun Yinli frowned: "Why is he sleeping in the broad daylight? Go wake him up."

Shangguan Tang immediately went to call for help.

Su Tingwan asked Yun Man: "Where are your brother and your brother?"

Yun Man replied: "My brother is in the capital. He only comes back here once a year. My brother should be playing in the village. I will go and call him back."

As she spoke, she ran out and Su Tingwan couldn't stop her.

Nangong Jingxuan was forcibly awakened by Shangguan Tang. When he came to the main room, he was still yawning.

Gongsun Yinli couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he went up and punched him: "Can you please cheer up?"

Nangong Jingxuan yawned repeatedly: "I am energetic enough to be able to get up from the bed. Uncle, you scolded me as soon as you came back. I am very sad."

"Haha, it's strange that you're sad." Gongsun Yinli had no choice but to throw him on the chair and said, "Let me tell you something. Your aunt and I have decided to settle down in Qingquan Village. Please help us choose a good site to build a house."

Nangong Jingxuan rubbed his eyes and said, "Why do we have to live in Qingquan Village? Isn't Wenggang Village good? The Imperial Tutor and the Duke of Zhenguo are both in Wenggang Village. You and your aunt can live there and keep them company."

Gongsun Yinli shook his head: "I don't want to keep company with them! I just want to keep company with you."

Nangong Jingxuan was very troublesome, and he didn't want to be neighbors with his uncle.

So, Nangong Jingxuan chose a faraway place for Gongsun Yinli and the others to build a house, halfway up the mountain at the end of the village, more than a quarter of an hour away from the Xiao residence.

Gongsun Yinli looked at this deserted place, sneered, turned around and beat Nangong Jingxuan up, then bought a piece of land next to Xiao's house and built a yard of medium size.

They did not arrange too many servants and only brought four Ming guards.

Before the house was built, Gongsun Yinli and his companions temporarily lived in the Xiao house.

On the third day of living in Xiao's house, Gongsun Yinli and his companions drove a horse-drawn carriage to Wenggang Village.

Shangguan Zhenhua and Su Yinghuai, who were competing in martial arts, were very surprised to see the retired emperor and the grand empress dowager appear in Wenggang Village.

Why are these two here? Didn't they go on a long journey?

Gongsun Yinli smiled and said, "We are tired after our long journey, so we bought a piece of land in Qingquan Village to build a house. We can meet each other often in the future."

Su Yinghuai and Shangguan Zhenhua: "......"

In the room at the Xiao residence, Nangong Jingxuan shook his head and sighed: "Uncle and aunt are here, our peaceful days are over. There are so many places suitable for seclusion, why are they all running here?"

Shangguan Tang pursed his lips and smiled: "Qingquan Village can be renamed Da Lao Village."

Nangong Jingxuan held his head and said, "Given my uncle's temper, I'm afraid he will come to check on me every other day. How can I rest?"

Shangguan Tang patted his head and said, "Then sleep in less. You have so many relatives around you, so be content!"

Nangong Jingxuan wailed: "I'm not satisfied. What's wrong with me wanting to sleep in? It's not wrong to love sleeping."

No matter how he screamed, it could not change the fact that Gongsun Yinli and the other man were going to settle down in Qingquan Village.

Three months later, Gongsun's house was completed, and Gongsun Yinli and his companions moved in and held a lively housewarming party.

Gongsun Yinli laughed to himself: "This is my first time hosting a housewarming party!"

He owned many houses since he was a child. After he became emperor, he had countless palaces and villas, but he had no chance to hold a housewarming party.

It is a luxury for extraordinary people to do ordinary things.

The housewarming party was lively. Although the villagers did not know Gongsun Yinli and the other two, they heard that they were Nangong Jingxuan's relatives, so they all came to give gifts and congratulate him.

After the housewarming party, Gongsun Yinli was inspired and wrote a letter that night, which he ordered to be sent to the capital as quickly as possible.

In the imperial study room.

Gongsun Tianhua became gloomy when he received the letter from Gongsun Yinli.

Qin Jinhua came in and saw that he looked unhappy. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Gongsun Tianhua pointed at the letter in his hand angrily: "My father and mother are showing off to me again. They went to Qingquan Village and built a new house near Xiao's residence. They also held a lively housewarming party. The villagers all went to celebrate. The two elders had a great time and said that Qingquan Village is very warm."

Gongsun Tianhua handed the letter to Qin Jinhua, covered his face with his hands and said angrily: "You didn't even invite me to the housewarming party. Do you still treat me as your son?"

Qin Jinhua glanced at the contents of the letter and found it a little funny. She said to Gongsun Tianhua, "Even if the emperor and the queen mother called you, you don't have time to go. That's Qingquan Village, not the capital."

Gongsun Tianhua snorted coldly, "Leave the throne to me. They live a carefree life, traveling around, eating all over the world, and even living in Qingquan Village. Ahhh! I don't want to be the emperor anymore!"

Although he said this, after complaining, he still resigned himself to picking up the memorials again and quickly correcting them.

"By the way, where's Bo Jin?"

Qin Jinhua said, "He's doing the homework you assigned him yesterday."

She thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, you have put too much pressure on Bo Jin. I noticed that he is not doing well recently."

Gongsun Tianhua paused: "He is the prince."

Qin Jinhua said: "He is the prince, but he is also a human being, and our first child. The pressure he bears is much greater than the pressure we have endured before. Your Majesty, I know what you are worried about. You think that the current stability of the Yuan Dynasty is hard-won. You are afraid that Bo Jin is unable to bear it and that he will be criticized, so you want him to become better. But Your Majesty, this is too cruel for Bo Jin."

She continued, "I believe that the original intention of my father and you to make the Yuan Dynasty stronger was not to torture your children, but to create good conditions for future generations so that they can live without worries."

Gongsun Tianhua fell silent.

Seeing that he had relaxed, Qin Jinhua continued, "Bo Jin has been in a tense state for the past few years and has never relaxed. Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request."

Gongsun Tianhua finally gave in: "You say."

"Since my father and mother are both in Qingquan Village, let Bo Jin go to Qingquan Village with Yun Ting to celebrate the New Year this year."

"allow."

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Nangong Yunting had just returned from the horse farm when he saw Gongsun Bojin coming in a hurry.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Yun Ting, I have good news for you. Father has agreed to let you and I go to Qingquan Village. We can celebrate the New Year together in Qingquan Village. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Grandfather and grandmother are also going to Qingquan Village."

Nangong Yunting was very surprised when he heard this, but at the same time, he was happy for Gongsun Bojin.

Having accompanied Gongsun Bojin in the capital for several years, he was well aware of Gongsun Bojin's desire for freedom.

In mid-October, Nangong Yunting and Gongsun Bojin set out for Qingquan Village. Gongsun Tianhua arranged more than 30 experts to escort them.

It was already the twelfth lunar month when the two young men arrived at Tian'an Prefecture for sightseeing.

Shangguan Tang received the news early on and asked Nangong Jingxuan to come to the city to pick someone up. Yun Man and Yun Zhuo insisted on going together, so Nangong Jingxuan took the two children with him.

When we got home, everyone was carrying large and small bags, and the carriage was filled with food and toys.

It was the first time that Gongsun Bojin went out so freely. He was curious about everything in Tianan Prefecture. He bought almost everything he saw and even took a walk around the former Prince Xian's Palace.

After meeting Gongsun Yinli and Su Tingwan, Yun Ting took Bo Jin and his younger brothers and sisters into the mountains.

"Brother Bojin, this is the big crocodile I told you about. Big crocodile, do you still remember me? I am your master!"

What responded to Yun Ting was the crocodile's fangs. This cold-blooded animal had long forgotten that it had a master. When it saw a living person coming to its swamp, it opened its mouth wide to bite.

"Big Crocodile, shut up, don't you recognize me?" Yun Ting was extremely sad.

His big boss actually didn't recognize him!

After coming out of the swamp, Yun Ting took Gongsun Bojin to meet the wolf pack again.

Fortunately this time, the Gray Wolf family still recognized Yun Ting and did not attack them.

Afterwards, Yun Ting and his group went to meet the Black Panther family.

Xiaoqi's descendants are increasing in number, and they can often be seen in the mountains.

After experiencing a fantastic experience in the mountains during the day, Gongsun Bojin was extremely excited.

"Great, this is life!"

"I will come here to play again in the future."

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shangguan Ping'an and his family returned from the sea.

Shangguan Ping'an talked endlessly to everyone about the interesting things that his family encountered at sea.

"I always thought dolphins were grey, but I never thought there are white dolphins in the deep sea!"

"Oh, by the way, we also saw killer whales. They were so big and fierce that they almost capsized our boat."

“Do you know what a humpback whale is?”

"Have you ever seen a crab bigger than my head?"

Everyone listened with great interest, and Shangguan Ping'an became more and more excited as he spoke.

"What's even more interesting is that our ship arrived at an island. On that island there was a small country. The people there had blond hair and blue eyes, which was very different from us."

Shangguan Pingan took out a cloth bag filled with all kinds of gems: "These gems are the specialties of that small country. Although their country is small, there are gems everywhere."

With the presence of Shangguan Ping'an, the Minister of Navigation, this New Year became even more lively, and everyone enjoyed listening to his stories of adventures at sea.

In addition to those gems, Shangguan Ping'an also brought back many rare items that were not available in the Yuan Dynasty, any of which could be sold at a sky-high price.

Shangguan Tang hadn't cooked for a long time. This year's New Year was so happy and everyone was together, so she suddenly had an inspiration and cooked a few dishes herself.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was extremely lively.

Shortly after the New Year, Yun Ting, Gongsun Bojin, Shangguan Ping'an and their families returned to Beijing.

Once they leave, the weather warms up and it is a good time to sow seeds.

Shangguan Tang cleaned up the vegetable garden, took out the seeds and scattered them.

After finishing everything, she sat on the swing to rest. Nangong Jingxuan walked behind her and gave her a massage: "Madam, are you comfortable?"

"It's comfortable. You can use a little more force." Shangguan Tang said with enjoyment.

Nangong Jingxuan massaged her for a while and then pushed the swing.

When the couple was being affectionate, Yunman and Yunzhuo ran in from outside.

"Dad, I found the poisonous widow spider you wanted most!"

“Really!” Nangong Jingxuan excitedly grabbed the swing.

boom!

Shangguan Tang fell to the ground, face down.

Nangong Jingxuan, Yunman and Yunzhuo: "......"

"Nan Gong Jing Xuan!" Shangguan Tang gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, with a stick in his hand.

Nangong Jingxuan ran away without thinking.

Yun Man and Yun Zhuo also ran after him.

"Please calm down, my wife. Your husband didn't mean it!"

"Dad, wait for us!"

"Sister, why are we running with Dad?"

"It's fun!"

"Stop for me!"

It is spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom on the hillside, petals are falling and dancing in the wind, and the mountains are full of people busy with farm work.

Suddenly, a figure ran past them, followed by two children, and behind them, a ferocious-looking woman was chasing them.

Su Tingwan, who was digging wild onions, paused and said to Gongsun Yinli beside him: "It seems that Tangtang and his friends ran past us just now. What are they doing?"

“What can I do? Of course Jing Xuan deserves a beating again! Never mind, let’s continue to dig wild vegetables.” Gongsun Yinli waved his hand and said, “This wild onion fried with bacon is delicious, I like it.”

Nangong Jingxuan ran all the way up the mountain, and somehow came to a tree and climbed up. Yunman and Yunzhuo who caught up with him also wanted to climb the tree, but they were a little slow and were caught by Shangguan Tang.

Shangguan Tang did not punish them, but just pushed them aside, flew up the tree, and kicked Nangong Jingxuan down.

"Every time you get into trouble, you hide in this tree. Can't you go somewhere else?"

"I was wrong, lady!"

As the spring breeze blew, new buds sprouted from the huge tree. On the trunk, several axe marks had never been erased for many years.
