The Liu family had been recalled to Beijing a year ago. The Liu Mansion, closed for nearly eighteen years, was reopened.

The emperor offered several reasons for the Liu family's recall to the capital. First, the Liu family had not committed any heinous crime, and Liu Zhiyuan's courageous admonition should be considered a display of loyalty and patriotism.

The second explanation is that Lord Liu developed a method of extracting crude salt on Haiyu Island, which brought great benefits to the Kingdom of Nanlin. The Liu family also discovered the high-yield crop corn.

The Liu family's two contributions alone have shut up most people.

The capital city had just undergone a major reform and change and was in urgent need of talents. The fifty-seven-year-old Liu Zhiyuan resumed his position as the Censor.

Besides, Liu Zhiyuan was a truly talented person at the time. Even the old prince who had always been taciturn in Beijing strongly recommended him.

Liu Zhijian is 39 years old. He used to work as the Dali Temple Secretary in the Dali Temple. Now he has resumed his official status and returned to his old job.

The Dali Temple Minister was also his father-in-law, and he wept bitterly at the sight of their family returning home. His daughter had passed away, but she had left him three wonderful grandchildren.

The old Dali Temple Minister later became more and more strict with Liu Zhijian, hoping that he could make progress and let everyone see it so that he could hand over the burden to him one day.

Liu Zhiyi is over 36 years old and still single. He was the top three scholar in the imperial examination and such an outstanding young man. It is really a pity to think about it now.

The emperor and the old prime minister met him and talked with him, which lasted for nearly two hours.

They discovered that Liu Zhiyi possessed unique insights into both the court and the people's livelihoods. He spoke eloquently and offered many different perspectives. Liu Zhiyi had not stopped learning over the years, especially in recent years. The emperor, impressed by his genuine talent and knowledge, directly appointed him as Right Prime Minister—a truly supreme honor!

The emperor even announced that anyone who disagreed could challenge him. However, when a few people actually went to him to discuss their issues and were left speechless by his retort, they realized that there really was a gap between people.

Later, Liu Zhiyi went on a blind date arranged by his mother and married a woman of comparable age who was truly talented and had never been married.

Speaking of this woman, they had a brief encounter before. She had been an admirer of his, so he naturally knew her. Later, the Liu family was suddenly exiled, and this woman refused to marry, becoming disheartened and becoming a nun.

Not long after they got married, they had a child in their old age, but they only had one son.

Liu Zhiyi is not a pedantic person. He was unwilling to let his elderly wife give birth and secretly took medicine. Who would have thought that his wife knew about it and did something to get pregnant secretly.

This was a great joy for the Liu family. Grandmother wept bitterly over the incident. Her biggest regret was her grandson, but she hadn't expected him to be so lucky, get married, and have children. She was truly grateful to the Huo and Liu families and to Han Yatou.

Liu Hong, the grandson of the Liu family, is already 19 years old. He is skilled in martial arts, so he is now serving as a minor official in the Imperial Guard. He plans to follow the He family to guard the border in the future.

Liu Zhi, the second grandson of the Liu family, is 13 years old. He is quite like his uncle. He likes reading very much and has a strong ability to understand. He is now studying in Beijing. He successfully passed the examination for students last year and is preparing to take the examination for scholars in three years.

Liu Qing, the granddaughter of the Liu family, just came of age at the age of 15. She was outstanding in both talent and appearance. As soon as she came of age, many sons of officials and wealthy families proposed to her, but the Liu family rejected them one by one. Liu Qing did not want to get married so early, and the Liu family also wanted to keep their granddaughter for two more years.

Later, Liu Qing met Huo Nan who went to Beijing to report on his work. Huo Nan, who had always been carefree, fell in love with Liu Qing at first sight, and they eventually got married. But that’s a story for later.

.......................................

After getting married, Liu Yuhan spent most of her time in the prefectural capital. She would go back to Fulai Village with Liu Lu and Yang Zhi when they had their mid-week holiday.

The mansion finally had a female master. Apart from the Huo family, the happiest people were Butler Huo and Aunt Fu.

Finally, someone took over the affairs of the mansion and took the helm. Their pressure was greatly reduced and they were more motivated to do their work.

It’s good to have a hostess in the house. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner and the house is more lively.

The young master and young lady in the family are always smiling every day. They like to go to their brother and sister-in-law's yard to eat.

Huo Bei had moved out of Huo Dong's yard a long time ago and had his own independent yard, but when Huo Nan was at home, he would go and sleep with him.

Children of hereditary officials like them do not need to take the imperial examinations. Basic cultural courses are taught by teachers in the government offices. Huo Bei does not like martial arts, but is particularly interested in handicrafts and likes to follow skilled craftsmen. In Liu Yuhan's eyes, this child likes innovation and is unconventional. General Huo and Huo Dong did not say anything, and Liu Yuhan would also encourage him if he was interested.

Huo Xi was already a girl of marriageable age, and she had special nannies and teachers to teach her about boudoir etiquette and basic lessons.

In fact, boudoir etiquette undoubtedly teaches them how to treat people and things, how to control their husbands and be mothers after marriage. However, it does not teach these women how to be independent, how to improve their own value, or how to please themselves.

In ancient times, women obeyed their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage. This was a deeply ingrained ideology of the dynasty, making it incredibly difficult to break or change. The short lifespan of the ancients, in addition to medical and environmental factors, was also largely due to early marriage and childbearing.

Her situation was excellent: her husband knew she had a secret, but he never thought of exploring it. He respected her and her career, and did not confine her to the house because of marriage.

She had no parents-in-law to serve, and her grandfather and several siblings at home got along very well, always putting her first. Her parents' home was also close by, so she could go back anytime. She must have been very lucky to have such a life in ancient times.

Liu Yuhan would work half a day at Jishitang in the prefectural capital. His master had also come with him to the prefectural capital and was now a doctor at Jishitang. He now lived with his senior brother, and he was content and happy to be able to play with the children every day when he returned home. Liu Yuhan naturally followed his wishes.

Liu Yuhan spent half a day at the pharmacy, and went to the farm when he had time. The farm was very big, and they were clearing an area to build a workshop.

She wanted to open an oil mill, making vegetable oil from soybeans and peanuts, so she wouldn't have to rely on animal fat every day. She had only one barrel of vegetable oil left in her space, which she had saved for her. If vegetable oil could be made, the market would undoubtedly be enormous.

When she has nothing to do, she will pick some vegetables, fruits and melons in the space and cook for her family. General Huo and his brothers and sisters love the food cooked by Liu Yuhan the most.

Liu Lu and Yang Zhi had lunch in the school, and dinner was delivered to them by the Huo family. In the morning, the two would get up early to read and cook breakfast, and Liu Yuhan would leave enough food for them in the kitchen.

Huo Dong wanted to assign a servant to Liu Lu, but Liu Lu refused. He was a farmer's son and was used to doing everything by himself.

On the tenth day after his marriage, Huo Dong went to the capital to report on his work. He wanted to come back before the New Year, so he took Huo Yi and Huo San with him on fast horses.

Liu Yuhan also asked him to pay attention to where there were iron ore, as she still hadn't given up on cement.

Huo Er and Banxia got married shortly after Liu Yuhan got married. Huo Dong and Liu Yuhan gave them makeup and big red envelopes, and hired someone to hold their wedding.

On their wedding night, Banxia finally told Huo Er her story. Their family used to be the most famous escort company in the city. Later, when they were escorting people to Beijing, they were robbed by bandits and countless people were killed or injured. There were only her and her father and brother in her family. Her father and brother unfortunately died. Later, the bandits were caught. She gave up on herself and went to Huo's house to live a miserable life.

Banxia had just become a new bride, and she didn't like having other people in her and Huo Er's yard, so naturally she had to learn the chores of washing clothes and cooking. Every time she cooked, the kitchen looked like a fight. Huo Er was afraid that she would tear the kitchen down, so he didn't dare let her try again.

Huo Er would come back to cook whenever he had nothing to do. Knowing Banxia's experience, he naturally loved her more. The two of them quarreled and quarreled, but they were in love as always, and they soon had a child.
