Manager Hua returned to Youzhou City that afternoon.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, he arrived at Taohuayuan by boat again.

As soon as he got off the boat, he went straight to the vermicelli factory to find Li Lanzhen.

Li Lanzhen thought that the thieves who were caught here yesterday, what accident had happened?

He quickly followed Manager Hua out of the vermicelli factory, talking as he walked.

“Madam Li, I’m here to take Minghai to the capital.

The emperor has always wanted to deal with this group of court officials who formed cliques and refused to obey the court's control.

I didn't expect that the evidence was placed on the emperor's jade table yesterday.

This time, I'm afraid the court officials will have to undergo a major purge.

Therefore, there are a lot of vacant houses, shops and farms.

I want to take Minghai with me to the capital to see if I can find some bargains."

Li Lanzhen immediately understood what Manager Hua meant, and she spoke decisively.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Shopkeeper Hua paused, then burst into laughter.

Mrs. Li was indeed very perceptive and grasped the key to the matter as soon as she heard it.

Be decisive in doing things.

"Okay, then we have to set off as soon as possible. It's best to leave right away. If we go too late, I'm afraid there won't be even a trace of it left."

"Okay, you go find Han Minghai, I'll go home to pack my things, and we'll meet at the Eleven Trees Pier later."

The two people separated and prepared themselves.

Li Lanzhen went to the school first, took Han Yibai out of the school, and asked for leave from Master Xu.

She had to take this kid with her. Last month, Han Minghai bought a small courtyard in Youzhou City, and Empress Zhang Yu and others moved there to live.

The yard was not far from the shop run by Zhang Yu Niang, so Miao Miao followed her there, but the little girl was also very busy.

Every day she had to learn women's work from Zhang Yu Niang, practice calligraphy and read, and take care of her younger brother Han Yitan when she had time.

Li Xishui's furniture store was doing well, and he also bought a courtyard with two entrances in Youzhou City.

So this little grandson has to be taken with her wherever she goes, otherwise Li Lanzhen will be worried.

His parents and brother are still at the southwestern border.

Han Yibai was carried out of the school by Li Lanzhen, but he was not happy.

"Grandma, if I keep doing this, won't I be able to study? The teacher said that when studying, you can't fish for two days and dry the net for three days. You have to proceed step by step and make progress every day!"

Li Lanzhen kissed the little guy's chubby face unconsciously.

"Oh, grandma's grandson is so good, he understands so many principles.

It doesn't matter if you recite to grandma every day. Let's go to Beijing to see your uncle, your brother and brother, okay? Your uncle will go with us too."

Han Yibai was delighted when he heard that he was going on a long journey. "Going to Beijing? Great, great. And my aunt, I miss my aunt and uncle, and my grandparents, too. I miss them all."

Li Lanzhen snorted in her heart, you don't miss your aunt and uncle,

You probably want your uncle to hunt a wild rabbit for you to eat every day, and your aunt to make cakes for you in different ways all day long.

She didn't reveal the little guy's thoughts.

Praise him, "Our Han 1 Yibai is such a good boy."

Han Yibai raised his head, suddenly thought of something, and said with a frown.

"Grandma, do you think there will be any bugs that bite me in the capital?

If that's the case, grandma, you have to protect me well. I don't want my face to be covered with bug bites again.

Also, this time when I go there, can I just put a toilet in the house?

I don’t want to go to the bathroom outside and have bugs bite my butt.”

Li Lanzhen listened to his childish talk and laughed.

“Don’t worry, there aren’t that many bugs to bite you in the capital.

The weather in Beijing is similar to ours, it’s very cold, the insects are all frozen to death, there are no insects to bite you.”

Han Yibai shook his head and said, "That's good, that's good."

Just like the last time Li Lanzhen went to the capital, three adults and one child first took a boat and then a carriage, traveling quickly all the way.

After five days' journey, we finally arrived in the capital.

Seeing the tall city gate tower, Han Yibai clapped his hands and cheered.

"Grandma, look at this city gate tower. It's so tall. It's taller and bigger than the one in Youzhou City."

As he said this, he drew a very big one with his hand.

Then he tilted his head and said, "Dad and his family also have this city gate tower, but it's not as high as this."

As if he had thought of something, he raised his head, then sighed and spoke like a little adult.

"Oh, I wonder how Daddy, Mommy, and my brother are doing over there? Are they bitten by bugs every day?

Do they have meat to eat? Are they full?

It’s really worrying!”

The three adults heard him mumbling, and they, who were worried about their parents and brother, all burst into laughter.

Before I could recover from his words, I suddenly saw him pointing his chubby little finger forward and shouting.

"Grandma, look, grandpa is here, he's here to pick us up!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his chubby little finger.

Sure enough, Xue Lao Hu was standing next to the city gate tower.

Han Yibai pulled aside the carriage curtain, stuck out his little head, and waved his little hands.

"Grandpa, grandpa, your little grandson is here?"

Han Minghai held his waist tightly, fearing that he would lean out and fall off the carriage.

As they were talking, they arrived. Han Minghai jumped off the carriage, and Xue Lao Hu walked to the front of their carriage. He stretched out his hands and picked up Han Yibai, who stretched out his arms.

"Hahaha, grandpa's grandson is here, let me see how he got so fat.

What delicious food did your grandma give you? You look so chubby.

Holding Han Yibai tightly, Xue Lao Hu turned around and greeted them.

"My dear relatives, you have had a hard time on this journey. Let's go home quickly. We are all waiting for you at home."

"What are you all doing? Well, let's go home."

Walking through the busy streets, you can hear the shouts of street vendors and the giggles of children playing.

The smell of various foods wafted on both sides of the street.

All this attracted Han Yibai.

Xue Lao Hu looked at his eyes full of longing and couldn't bear it, so he jumped off the horse while holding him and walked into the pastry shop next door.

After a while, he came out with a string of snacks in his hand. Passing by a roadside stall, he bought a rattle and a small wooden sword for Han Yibai.

Han Yibai, holding a wooden sword and a rattle tightly in his arms, grinned and squinted his eyes, showing his big white teeth, smiling foolishly.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horse hooves on the street.

Han Yibai cheered even more excitedly.

“Uncle, uncle, he’s my uncle!

Grandma loves to watch, look, it’s my uncle riding on a big horse with a sword on his shoulder, so majestic!

Xue Bao saw from a distance that the person Xue Lao Hu was holding in his arms was Han Yibai.

He led a team to patrol the streets today, and he knew that Li Lanzhen and others would arrive in the capital today.

After patrolling the streets, he wanted to go to the city gate tower to see if he could meet Li Lanzhen and the others.

Han Yibai's excited voice was heard halfway in the busy city.

He turned around and told the captain of the city defense team who was following behind him to pack up and go back first, then he turned around and tapped the horse's belly lightly with his feet.

The horse under his crotch came towards Xue Lao Hu with a clatter.

When he got up to Xue Bao, he pulled the reins, Han Yibai grabbed the wooden sword in one hand and the rattle in the other, leaned out, and pounced on Xue Bao.

"Uncle, uncle, it's really you, my majestic uncle!"

Xue Bao sat on the horse, looking at Han Yibai who was looking at him with admiration. He bent down, took the little guy out of Xue Laohu's arms and put him on the horse.

"You little guy, did you eat honey in your mouth? Why are you talking so sweetly? What do you want to do by coaxing your uncle?"

Said to Xue Lao Hu who was looking at them and laughing.

"Dad, please get on the carriage. Let Han Yibai sit on the horse. I will take him back."

As he spoke, he rode his horse to Li Lanzhen's carriage and bent down to look at the open window.

"Aunt, you are here? You must have had a hard journey." Li Lianzhen said with a smile as she looked at the snow leopard whose skin had become tanned and whose body had become stronger.

"It's not hard at all. We can ride in a carriage all the way. Come on, let's go home together."
