Ye Heng returned at noon, and after a quick wash, they took a nap together. Ye Heng remarked on the scorching heat, noting that there were ice cubes in the house. The common people would have a harder time without ice. Guo Guo, who knew how to make ice herself, said, "If every household could make their own, people wouldn't have to suffer from the heat." Ye Heng asked if they could make it. "Find saltpeter, grind it into powder, and add water. It will become ice in no time." Ye Heng said, "I know saltpeter; the Ministry of War has it. I'll have someone get it for me." He stood up, gave a few words to the secret guards, and went back to sleep.

Half an hour later, the two woke up to find the saltpeter had arrived. Guoguo made it herself while Yeheng watched. When the ice appeared, Yeheng said, "It's that simple!" "Yes," Yeheng said decisively, "I'll have someone arrange to teach the people there."

This summer, many people learned how to make ice and put it in their houses so they could sleep well at night.

Guoguo went to the academy whenever she could. She also brought the children from Taohua Village who were coming to take exams to the academy, so there were only three of them. Yeheng went to the modern era whenever he could, along with Huangbao. Huangbao could enter and exit Guoguo's space and return to the modern era at will. Huangbao could open and close the door, and so could Yeheng. It was a great convenience for them both.

Ye Heng discovered that Da Yan was only one day after two days in the modern era. This gave Ye Heng plenty of time to do things. ...

Qin Binbin married Luo Xiulin, the daughter of a general, in the twelfth month of last winter and brought his mother from his hometown. Qin Binbin then managed the financial accounts at the coal mine.

Time flies, and the quadruplets' birthdays are coming up. Ye Heng bought a ton of stuff back from the modern world. He brought a whole truckload of fruit and bought another one for himself, which he kept in the space. Ye Heng invited several families to celebrate at his mansion. The Chai family was bustling with activity.

On this day, all the most distinguished people in Da Yan came. General Luo, thanks to his daughter, was also invited. He wondered what talented person had emerged from the Chai family that even the emperor and the retired emperor had come. Later, he found out it was because of the prince. If he hadn't been invited to the banquet, he wouldn't have known how big a deal it was! Thinking of his second wife, he felt a little scared and uneasy...

The Chai family and other close friends paid no attention to him, doing whatever was necessary, and it was lively and cheerful. Little Sibao's one-year-old celebration was held, and Old Lady Li at Yeheng had many people putting things for the little one to take! Both girls clung to her arms, a perfect example of Guoguo number two. This caused everyone to laugh. Li Ru said, "Just like Guoguo when he was little."

It wasn't until mid-afternoon that people dispersed. Qin led the cleaning staff to wipe the tables and wash the dishes.

Ye Heng escorted the Emperor back to the palace and reported on his recent work. Ye Heng left. The Emperor remained alone in the Imperial Study, reviewing memorials. Some ministers' memorials looked identical, and the Emperor tossed them aside, "Full of empty talk." Thinking of his uncle's daily toil and exhaustion, planning for him, and his father still young, he felt like going out for a bit. He stood up and went to his father and mother's place. He wanted to go out and see what he wanted, letting his father take over for a while. The Emperor thought about it and said, "Okay." Lu Xi joined in. "Okay. We're all in good health, and we can help you with more work, so you can relax. Go to the Chai Mansion and cultivate your relationship with Yan'er." Xiaodong practically jumped for joy. "Yes, thank you, Father and Mother. I'm leaving now." Lu Xi watched her son leave and said, "Don't worry, Guibao. Bring some clothes and get ready. See if there's anything Yan'er likes that you didn't bring." Lu Xi found a headdress for Guibao to wear. Xiaodong took it. Lucy said with a smile: "Go ahead and protect yourself." "Well, thank you, Father and Mother. I understand."

The emperor returned to his own chamber, packed a large bag, and rode out of the palace.

He went straight to the Chai Mansion. Carrying a bundle and a backpack full of things, he went to Yan'er's residence. There was no one in the house, and he knew Yan'er was studying in the school. He went to the main hall again. The Chai family was all there. Seeing the emperor coming, he stood up and saluted, "No thanks." "Grandpa, my father will take my place for a while. I'm going out to see other places and take a look around." Chai Zhen said, "Okay, after so many years, the world has changed a lot from the past. It's good to go out for a walk."

Ye Heng heard about it and asked him what his plans were. Xiaodong said, "I just want to get out and do something. Reviewing memorials every day is full of empty talk. I want to do something myself." Ye Heng thought for a moment and suggested, "Go to a local area and try being a county magistrate. You know Zhang Qingshan, he governs Taohua County very well." Xiaodong didn't know what to say after hearing what the emperor's uncle said. "Okay." "Stay here first. I'll help you with the procedures and get a transfer order. Don't call me Ye Anhuang, just Chai Tianxing. Your nickname will still be Xiaodong." "Okay, emperor, it's up to you."

Ye Heng's action-oriented men quickly went to the yamen and retrieved their family records and even the imperial edict. All the necessary formalities were completed. Ye Heng arranged for Chai En and two secret guards to accompany him to a county under Antai Prefecture to serve as an official. They sent him a carriage, plain on the outside, but thickly cushioned and comfortable enough for three people to sit and lie down, with a secret compartment for storing various items. Ye Heng and Guo Guo personally escorted them outside the city. Ye Heng secretly arranged for over a hundred secret guards to protect them, while Guo Guo's men also went there to open a shop, with large trucks carrying goods. All three groups left.

Ye Heng and Guo Guo went back to the house and discussed in the study. Ye Heng wanted to go to Modern Times with Huang Bao and said, "I want Huang Bao to go to school there and study financial management." Guo Guo hesitated and said, "The education there is even more difficult. You have to advance grade by grade, which is much harder than here!" Huang Bao said, "Mom, I'm not afraid." Guo Guo thought for a moment and said, "Let Xiao Chen and Xiao Tian go with you. It's just that it's hard to get an ID card." Ye Heng said proudly, "What's so difficult about that? I have everything." Guo Guo looked at Ye Heng and said, "Okay. Do great things quietly." "It's easier to get things done with money, it's the same everywhere. Leave it to me."

Guoguo did not stop him and was very supportive. "Then go talk to your family." The two of them took the five treasures to the main hall. Ye Heng looked at the family and saw that many of them were talking. "Guoguo asked Qin to stand guard at the gate." Ye Heng said, "There is an opportunity. I want to send Huangbao, Xiaochen, and Xiaoxiao to a good academy to study." Old Lady Li said, "This is a good thing. Huangbao is still young, so wait a few more years."

Ye Heng said, "There are children's classes." Old Lady Li couldn't say anything more because she felt bad for her little grandson. "One thing is that you can only go home once every six months, not every day, and they provide food and lodging." Chai Zhen asked doubtfully, "Is there a better academy than ours?" Ye Heng nodded, "There is indeed one." Chai Zhen was the first to raise his hand. "I support it. No matter how rich you are, you have to let your children learn. They have to work hard on their own. You have to understand the principle of living beyond your means." Old Lady Li said, "Do you want to talk to San'er?" Guo Guo said, "Wait, I'll talk to Third Uncle and Third Aunt. The three of us will go together, and an adult will follow. We'll see who in the family is willing to go, and then we can go two more."

Ye Heng said, "Grandpa, you go, and take Xia Hua with you." Chai Zhen agreed, saying, "Okay." Guo Guo then suggested, "Why don't Yan'er go and stay for two years?" Ye Heng said, "Take your time and let me arrange it." Seeing that things were almost settled, it was time for dinner. The family ate together, and the children came and sat around the small table. The women fed the children, giving them less complementary foods and still relying mainly on formula.

Having a few children at home is always a lively place. They play until late before returning to their rooms. Chai Ping'an still likes having children around, saying, "This time I leave, I have three children. I feel bad before they leave." Old Mrs. Li looked at her husband and said, "Fengxing is right. We must always create the best conditions for the children to live." Chai Ping'an snorted, "We don't even know where to send the children? Dad won't even ask." "Didn't you hear Fengxing say that Dad and Xiahua will take care of the children?" Chai Ping'an worried about his father. "My dad is so old." "Don't you have Xiahua? Don't worry too much. I used to worry about everything, but now I've come to my senses. The children are grown up and capable of living independently. Go to sleep." With that, Li Hongying closed her eyes and fell asleep. Chai Ping'an was left alone to sigh!
