After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

After crossing the Yangtze River, the group finally arrived in Yangzhou. When Tang Wenshu saw Tang Jilian, he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and timidly called out, "Dad."

Tang Jilian looked at the two of them lovingly, then his gaze fell on Tang Zichan. He asked gently, "Zichan is here too. How was the journey?"

"Okay, thank you uncle for your concern." Tang Zichan thanked him respectfully. A huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He had arrived in Yangzhou safely, and his mission was halfway accomplished.

"Good boy!" Tang Jilian nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of relief. The children from Duke Tang's Mansion are all excellent.

"Zichan, there are many vacancies in Yangzhou now. Do you want a more comfortable life or a challenge?" Tang Jilian said with a smile, intending to let Tang Zichan choose first, and then it would be Tang Qi's turn.

"Liu County isn't far from Yangzhou, so I can come back often. Let Brother Qi go there, so he can take care of Sister Wenshu." Tang Zichan gave the best position to Tang Qi without hesitation, and chose the more remote Cheng County for himself. Although he didn't know why his uncle wanted Sister Wenshu to accompany Brother Qi to his post, since his uncle had made such an arrangement, there must be a reason for it, and Tang Zichan would not speculate.

"Why don't you reconsider? Besides Liu County, there are many other good places to choose from, and Cheng County is one of the most remote and poorest counties," Tang Jilian persuaded. "Most importantly, Cheng County is very close to the border."

"Uncle, I came here this time to train myself. After careful consideration, I decided to choose this place!" After saying that, Tang Zichan resolutely embarked on the journey to Cheng County alone.

You know, his starting point was far inferior to Tang Qigao's, but fortunately, here, everyone stood on the same starting line, with the same opportunities and stage. As for how to govern a county in an orderly manner, that depended on their true ability and capability.

After all the selections were made, Tang Jilian specially prepared a simple yet solemn welcoming banquet for them. The main purpose was to take Tang Qi and Tang Zichan to meet with local officials at all levels in Yangzhou so that they could take office smoothly and start their work.

The banquet was held in the backyard of the Yangzhou government office, and the scene was bustling with activity. The guests included not only local officials from Yangzhou, but also numerous wealthy businessmen and representatives of prominent families.

Unexpectedly, on this occasion, Tang Wenshu actually ran into Dai Qiuhua. It turned out that Dai Qiuhua was serving as the Deputy Envoy of Pacification. Since Princess Fuhui was not here at the time, whenever she was away on official business, she represented the entire Huimin Navy.

"Sister Dai, I didn't expect to see you here!" Tang Wenshu asked curiously, "When I left the capital, the princess was still in the imperial city, busy preparing for the relocation of the princess's mansion. What a pity that I couldn't even make it to the housewarming party!"

"Oh, you greedy little girl!" Dai Qiuhua extended her finger lovingly and gently tapped Tang Wenshu's delicate nose. She said in a sly tone, "It's been a while since we last met. Your Highness misses you so much every day. We arrived in Yangzhou early, but who knew you'd be so far behind?"

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu couldn't help but pout and mutter, "Hmph, if I had known this would happen, I should have come with you." She felt deeply unhappy when she thought about how Chen Changxiao had actually abducted Pei Qingqing along the way. You know, Sister Qingqing actually had another path to choose, but that path might have been more difficult.

Then, Tang Wenshu blinked his bright eyes and asked curiously, "Where is the princess now? Why haven't I seen her come?"

Dai Qiuhua smiled slightly and replied, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is busy leading troops to suppress bandits right now. She returned to Yangzhou this time to resolve this matter." After a pause, she continued, "For the past half month, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been busy running around Yingtian Prefecture all day long. When those bandits heard that the envoy sent by the court had arrived, they were so scared that they quickly packed up their things and fled with their families." At this point, Dai Qiuhua couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Sister Dai, how did you find these bandits?" Tang Wenshu asked suspiciously. You know, the Huimin Navy had never encountered bandits before when passing through Yingtian Prefecture on their way back to the Imperial City. How did they run into them this time?

Dai Qiuhua smiled faintly and spoke slowly, "This time, the princess and I rode ahead on horseback. We originally planned to reach Yangzhou first to find a residence to settle down. After all, Yangzhou is of great significance to us; it's arguably our birthplace, so we can't afford to make any mistakes. Furthermore, we've returned this time to conduct training, and naval warfare drills are difficult to conduct in the imperial city."

Tang Wenshu nodded thoughtfully, then pressed on, "So, you really did encounter robbers?" Dai Qiuhua nodded gently in confirmation. Then, a look of admiration crossed her face, and she praised, "I have to say, the princess's recent training has paid off! Facing the robbers, she rushed forward without a word and instantly knocked them to the ground."

Oddly enough, Dai Qiuhua usually treated others with aloofness and condescension in Yangzhou. However, when facing the young daughter of the Yangzhou prefect, she was particularly affectionate. The two chatted happily, appearing to have a very close and intimate relationship. As a result, everyone around her naturally had a slightly higher opinion of Tang Wenshu's status and position.

The banquet was already halfway through, as people were toasting and chatting happily, when Tang Jilian slowly emerged from the inner hall. He wore a smile, his eyes revealing a sense of confidence and pride. He was followed by two young men: his son Tang Qi and his nephew Tang Zichan.

The two young men were both elegant and imposing. Dressed in magnificent brocade robes, they held upright figures, and their every gesture exuded a refined elegance. It turned out that both were outstanding students at the Imperial Academy, well-read and talented.

At this time, Tang Jilian cleared his throat and introduced to everyone present: "Everyone, this is my son Tang Qi, and the one next to him is my nephew Tang Zichan. They are both studying in the Imperial College, and now they are about to be sent to a small county town to gain some experience." As soon as he finished speaking, the guests present applauded and praised.

Someone said loudly: "It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son! These two young masters have achieved such success at such a young age. They will definitely have a bright future!" Others echoed: "Yes, yes, the Tang family has successors!" For a while, words of praise were heard everywhere.

At this moment, everyone's attention shifted to the youngest daughter of the Tang family. She was seen chatting cheerfully with the Deputy Envoy of Appeasement, a representative of the Huimin Navy, and their relationship was quite close. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration: Not only are the Tang family's men outstanding, but even this little girl can make friends with those in the army. Truly remarkable!

At this moment, the Tang family's status in Yangzhou City is at its peak and no one can match it.
