In the Han family courtyard, Lu Yanyan packed up the gifts she brought to her mother's family and stood beside the mule cart with her children waiting for Han Qingyun.
Han Huaixi looked at the big blue mule curiously, touching its tail and butt, and even shouted that he wanted to give it a name.
So the Han family's big blue mule officially got a name - Huahua.
When Han Qingyun came back, he saw three children calling "Huahua" to the mule, with gentle smiles on their faces.
In her previous life, Han Xiaoxi often fed a cat in the community, and she named the cat "Huahua".
The sun was already hanging in the sky, and the sunlight was shining into the courtyard. It was getting late, so Lu Yanyan took the children and got on the mule cart.
"Hold on tight." Han Qingyun shouted and set off in the mule cart.
Han Huaixi was very curious at first. He sat on the mule cart and moved around. Whenever he saw something he had never seen before, he would make strange noises of excitement. But not long after, he started to complain about pain in his buttocks.
The roads in the countryside in ancient times were narrow and rugged, far from being comparable to the smooth and wide asphalt roads of today. Although the car was padded with thick cotton pads, it was still bumpy and uncomfortable.
Han Qingyun could only slow down his driving speed.
After Lu Yanyan comforted Han Huaixi, he felt a little panicked when he thought about the long and arduous journey of escape that was about to happen.
The author of the book is really biased. Others who become the protagonists have golden fingers, but her family of cannon fodders have nothing!
Fengye Village is not far from Fengxi Town, and it takes less than half an hour to reach Lu's house by mule cart.
Early in the morning, the Lu family was waiting for the arrival of Han Qingyun's family. When they saw Han Huaixi jumping out of the car like a little monkey, Lu's mother Yu burst into tears.
After seeing Han Huaixi unconscious in the town clinic, Yu prayed every day. She was willing to sacrifice her own life in exchange for Xiaoxi waking up.
Fortunately, Xiaoxi is safe and sound...
Han Qingyun handed the donkey cart to the doorman Lao Ding and followed the Lu family into the yard.
Han Huaian hid behind his two cousins, Lu Changping and Lu Changan, and made a face at Han Qingyun and the others.
He was a little dissatisfied because his parents should have come to pick him up a few days ago.
He also knew that they didn't come to pick him up because Xiaoxi was sick. He was also very worried about his sister, but now he just didn't want to pay attention to them.
Although his grandparents' house was nice, he had no playmates. He missed his good friends Goudan, Erwa, and Sanmao...
Cousin Changping practices martial arts all day long, and cousin Changan likes to use an abacus with an account book. It's so boring. Today we can finally go back to the village.
Seeing Han Huaian's grimace, Han Huaijin called out expressionlessly, "Huaian."
Han Huaian quickly came out from behind his cousin and called out to Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan, "Dad, Mom."
Then, he handed the cloth tiger on his back to Han Huaixi with a flattering look on his face.
"Xiao Xi, I'm glad you're okay. Do you like this little tiger? Here you go."
Han Huaixi looked at the crudely made cloth tiger with disdain, but seeing Han Huaian's expectant expression, he reluctantly said, "I like it."
Lu Youtian and Yu looked at their little granddaughter, who was full of disgust and trying to say one thing and mean another, and the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes became even more prominent as they smiled.
After everyone sat down and exchanged a few polite words, Han Qingyun brought up the matter of Ji Yang.
"Dad, I remember you did business in Jiyang and Pingyao Prefecture in your early years. Do you know Prince Lin?"
Lu Youtian's expression changed, and Yu and Lu Fugui's expressions also looked unhappy.
In the early years, the Lu family was one of the richest families in the entire Shangyang Prefecture, and they had many industries in several surrounding prefectures.
Twenty years ago, the Lu family expanded their business to Jiyang. However, they offended someone in Jiyang and almost spent all their property to save their lives.
After returning to Fengxi Town, Lu Youtian's father died of depression. Before his death, he asked Lu Youtian to stay in Fengxi Town and become a rich man.
Although Lü Youtian stayed in Fengxi Town according to his father's instructions, he could never forget the hatred of his father's death. Unfortunately, even when the Lü family was at its peak, it could not compete with any official.
Lu Youtian had too much experience with the prefect who wiped out an entire family and the county magistrate who ruined a family. This was also the reason why he married his daughter to Han Qingyun.
Han Qingyun is the youngest scholar in the history of Wuping County, and he is also a top three scholar. He has great hope of becoming an official. Even if he can only be a county magistrate, he can still protect their Lu family in the county.
Unfortunately, Han Qingyun made no further progress after passing the exam. Lü Youtian didn't blame Han Qingyun. The child was talented and hardworking, but he just had bad luck in the exam.
At the age of seventeen, Han Qingyun took his first provincial examination. He caught a cold on the way and suffered from acclimatization issues when he arrived in the provincial capital. After persevering through the first exam, he collapsed in the examination hall before the second one was over.
Han Qingyun arrived at the provincial capital ten days ahead of schedule for his second provincial examination. This time he was not sick and did not suffer from acclimatization.
But unlucky people would get a toothache even if they drank cold water. Han Qingyun was hit by a carriage before the exam and his right thumb was fractured.
Although he sought medical treatment in time and had no sequelae, Han Qingyun watched helplessly in the examination room as he looked at the test questions that he knew the answers to, and could not write a few words despite enduring the pain.
Three years ago, Mr. Han, a scholar, passed away. Han Qingyun had to observe mourning and did not participate in the last autumn examination.
I just hope that in next year’s autumn examination, Han Qingyun will be able to “rise to the top”.
Thinking of the past, Lu Youtian sighed and told Han Qingyun what he knew.
The previous emperor, Emperor Huiren, had only three sons and one daughter.
Princess An Ning, now Princess An Ning, was the empress's only child and was deeply loved by Emperor Huiren. At the age of seventeen, she married the man who won the third place in the imperial examination. It has been twenty-two years now.
The eldest prince is Prince Lin Li Zhaoying, who is 37 years old this year. He has only one princess consort, Xie, and no concubines or wives.
Prince Lin and Princess Xie had three sons, but the youngest died at birth. Prince Lin also adopted the orphan of a deputy general who died in battle as his adopted son.
Prince Lin was an outstanding talent in both civil and military affairs, and was very much loved by the late emperor.
There are rumors that the late emperor had already drafted an edict to establish a crown prince, and the crown prince was Prince Lin, but no one has ever seen this edict.
In addition to Prince Lin, Emperor Huiren's other two sons were Prince Qing and Prince An, both of whom were only two or three months younger than Prince Lin.
Prince Qing, whose fief was Yucheng, had a very good relationship with Prince Lin.
When they were young, Prince Qing often pestered Prince Lin to study and practice martial arts together. Even after both of them were crowned kings and moved to their respective fiefdoms, Prince Qing would always stay at Prince Lin's mansion after returning to the capital at the end of each year.
Prince An was weak from childhood, and could only study literature, not martial arts. However, it was said that his literary talent was not even as good as Prince Qing's, and even worse than Prince Lin's.
Prince An was granted Bashu Commandery, but due to poor health, he spent most of the year recuperating in Luocheng. He only visited his fiefdom once every two or three years.
The Kingdom of Dayu was conquered on horseback. It was founded for more than 400 years and had 26 emperors. Almost every emperor was an extraordinary martial artist with outstanding military achievements.
Prince Lin is the eldest son of Emperor Huiren and the most skilled in martial arts among the three princes. He started fighting on the battlefield at the age of thirteen. He fought bravely and methodically, and was deeply loved by the people in the army.
Most of the well-known generals in Dayu Kingdom admired and respected him.
King Lin was crowned king at the age of sixteen. Although his fiefdom, Jiyang, was bitterly cold and suffered from perennial drought, it was the largest city in the country. Most importantly, half of the country's horses were in Jiyang, and Jiyang also had iron mines that accounted for 30% of the country's production.
Jiyang is the border of Dayu State, and the most elite army in the country, a million strong, is stationed at Jiyang. Furthermore, the people of Jiyang are known for their toughness and large build, meaning almost everyone can serve as a soldier.
The emperors of the Dayu Kingdom were all first crowned kings, and then trained in their fiefdoms. After being crowned crown princes, they would immediately return to the capital Luocheng.
After Prince Lin was crowned, the late emperor granted him a special privilege, allowing him to stay in Luocheng for three months each year. It should be noted that in the past, once the princes of Dayu Kingdom were crowned, they were only allowed to stay in the capital for the month of the Lunar New Year.
The late emperor had no legitimate sons. Prince Lin's mother was Consort Qi, second only to the Empress in rank. His maternal family was the Qi clan, a prominent clan in Guanzhong. While the Qi clan lacked high-ranking officials of the first or second ranks at court, they possessed numerous officials of the third to fifth ranks, a legacy of a century-old family.
King Lin was a man of extraordinary talent. In Jiyang, he had to defend against the invasions of the Qiang, Northern Rong, and Yan State on the Dayu State, and he also had to manage Jiyang in an orderly manner.
Almost everyone believed that Prince Lin was the only choice for the next emperor.
Jiyang was bitterly cold and the people could not get enough food. After the sixteen-year-old King Lin arrived in Jiyang, he carried out drastic reforms and invited talented people from all over the world to come to Jiyang to bring new vitality to Jiyang.
The call of the future emperor attracted students, merchants, and craftsmen from all over the country. It was under such circumstances that the Lu family went to Jiyang...
