Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Li Lanzhen is leaving.

Manager Hua and Han Minghai cannot leave the capital for the time being.

This time, taking advantage of the turmoil in the imperial court, Manager Hua also bought a lot of shops and farms.

The five-story house that Li Lanzhen didn't like was bought by Manager Hua.

Shopkeeper Hua needs to stay and take care of the business of the purchased farm and shop before he can return to Youzhou City.

Han Minghai has been busy these days, leaving home early and coming back late, and has not been seen since.

The shop has not been rented out yet, and he is now busy tidying up the three-story house.

Li Lanzhen asked him to improve the toilet and living room.

And he was asked to put a kang on the bedroom where he lived.

It's very cold in Beijing in winter, and she would be afraid of the cold if she lived here.

Li Lanzhen was also reluctant to put a charcoal basin in the house because burning charcoal was relatively expensive and charcoal was divided into three grades.

Li Lanzhen doesn't like second-grade carbon that produces a lot of smoke, let alone third-grade carbon.

Then you can only buy high-quality silver charcoal.

Although she is not short of money, Li Lanzhen does not want to waste it on this.

She asked Han Minghai to build a kang in her room so that she could sleep comfortably on it in winter.

They can discuss it themselves for the house they live in. If they need it, they can make a kang, and if not, they can sleep on a bed.

There is also the large deserted farm. Last time he discussed with Li Lanzhen, they wanted to wait until Han Zhaoxiong came before cleaning up the farm.

But Han Minghai couldn't wait any longer.

He followed Manager Hua to several pawnshops and bought more than 100 people.

Almost all of them were brought to the manor as families.

They temporarily found a responsible person and asked them to repair the road, the house where they lived, and the large yard where the host family lived.

At the same time, check the walls around the village and repair all the collapsed parts.

Xue Bao also found Li Lanzhen and said that he had more than 20 soldiers who were injured and left the team during the last rebellion when King Jin besieged the city, and he wanted to settle them in that manor.

Li Lanzhen learned about the conditions of these disabled soldiers and found that their physical injuries were not serious.

Half of the people don’t live near the capital.

And they are unwilling to go back to their hometown.

So Li Lanzhen agreed.

After Xue Bao contacted these people, he handed it over to Han Minghai.

Han Minghai also took them to the big manor and settled down there.

Of course, food and vegetables were also sent to them.

It took Han Minghai nearly ten days to settle down the large manor.

He turned around and started to clean up the shop and the house.

Han Minghai and others kept persuading Li Lanzhen not to leave in such a hurry.

Wait some more time and leave with them.

But Li Lanzhen insisted on going back.

Unable to persuade her, Xue Lao Hu found the largest escort agency in Beijing, the Weiyuan Escort Agency.

After paying 20 taels of silver to the Weiyuan Escort Agency, they promised to safely deliver Li Lanzhen and Han Yibai from the capital to Youzhou City.

Han Minghai selected two veterans who were strong enough to walk and had them drive the carriage for Li Lanzhen.

Li Lanzhen and Han Yibai rode in a carriage. When coming to the capital this time, Li Lanzhen did not bring Nanny Hua and the maids. Only their grandmother and grandson came with Manager Hua and Han Minghai.

There was also a car filled with things bought in Beijing.

Of course, half of it was given by the Crown Prince and Princess Linglong.

The others were bought by Xue Lao Hu, Han Mingxiang, Han Yuemei and others.

There is everything you need, including clothes, food, toys, books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

We set out this morning and the sun was shining brightly.

After bidding farewell to her children, grandchildren and several relatives in the capital, Li Lanzhen hugged the tearful Han Yibai, got on the carriage and set off.

The carriage was shaking, and Han Yibai stayed in Li Lanzhen's arms, looking unhappy.

Little kid, I don't know how to choose.

He wanted to stay in the capital with his brothers, but he couldn't bear to leave his grandma.

I want to follow my grandmother back to the Peach Blossom Spring, but I don’t want to leave my brothers, uncles and aunts in the capital.

After leaving the Beijing carriage house, he had no interest in looking at it anymore.

Then he sighed, clapped his hands, and looked up at Li Lanzhen.

"Oh, grandma, tell me, why do people have to make choices? It's so difficult."

Li Lanzhen hugged his arms tightly.

She bent down and kissed the top of his head.

"Yes, people are constantly making choices from the time they are born and become sensible until they grow old.

For example, when you eat, what do you want to eat? That is also a choice.

When you go to school, should you study hard or go out and play for a day? This is another choice.

Also, when our Yibai grows up, what kind of wife should we choose to marry?"

"Hehe, grandma, don't tell me anymore."

Han Yibai reached out and covered Li Lanzhen's mouth.

"Okay, Yibai, don't worry, the transportation from Youzhou City to the capital is very convenient.

Grandma can bring you here once a year, okay?"

“Okay, grandma, but I miss my dad, mom, and brother again.

Grandma, can you take me to the southwest border to visit my father, mother, and brother?"

Li Lanzhen did not agree to him immediately and remained silent for a while.

"Okay, let's pick a time next year and grandma will take you to see your father, mother, and brother, okay?"

Han Yibai was so happy this time that he almost jumped up. I raised my hands and yelled

He rolled over from Li Lanzhen's arms, knelt on the bench in the carriage, opened the curtains and looked outside.

Following the Weiyuan Escort Agency along the way, they had a fixed inn whenever they needed accommodation at night, so Li Lanzhen didn't have to worry about anything.

She only had to take care of Han Yibai and the two retired soldiers who drove the carriage.

Perhaps it was because Emperor Jingyuan had good ways of governing the country, or perhaps it was because he had just experienced the incident in which Prince Jin besieged the capital and forced him to abdicate.

Anyway, the journey was safe and sound, and we didn't even encounter any robbers.

Five days later at noon, they arrived at Youzhou City.

"Madam Li, we say goodbye now. We also have the Weiyuan Escort Agency in Youzhou City. If you need to transport goods or bring people with you, you can go to them. Here is the token for you. If you need anything, just take it and go find them."

But Master Zhao heard from Xue Lao Hu that this woman was no ordinary woman.

She was conferred the title of "Yiren" by the Emperor himself. We must maintain a good relationship with her.

Li Lanzhen took over an inconspicuous wooden plaque with the words "Weiyuan" engraved on one side and an eagle with spread wings on the other.

"Master Zhao, thank you very much. I will go to your escort agency if I have any questions. I wish you peace!"

After separating from the caravan of Weiyuan Escort Agency, Li Lanzhen took two carriages and went to Sifang Restaurant.

She went to the backyard of the Sifang Restaurant, and the waiter immediately opened the back door and let two carriages in.

After coming in, they washed up again and went to the dining hall on the first floor of the Sifang Restaurant.

"Aunt, are you back from the capital? You must have had a hard journey. What would you like to eat?" The second brother greeted Li Lanzhen and the others warmly.

“It’s OK, I came here with Weiyuan Escort Agency, so I didn’t suffer much.

Give us five bowls of rice, two catties of braised beef, a roast chicken, a drunken goose, pork ribs and white radish soup, fried eggs with leeks, and braised eggplant with chili peppers. "

"Okay, auntie, please sit down first, the food will be served soon."

The dish of eggplant stewed with tiger-skin peppers was once cooked by Li Lanzhen in the Taohuayuan canteen, and it happened that Manager Hua got to eat this dish.

Ask for advice immediately and give her money to buy the recipe.

Li Lanzhen declined, saying that it was just a simple recipe and not worth it, and that Manager Hua should just use it directly.

Such a simple dish appears on the table in Sifang Restaurant, and it is a must-order dish on every table.

Soon the food came up, but the second brother stood aside and didn't go down. Li Lanzhen saw that he wanted to say something, but didn't open his mouth.

"Little Brother, what do you want to tell me?"

"Aunt, something happened in the furniture store, the grocery store, and the Wangwang Embroidery Store these past few days."
