The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

After more than a month, the group finally returned to Xianyang. Ying Ji couldn't stay a moment longer and jumped out of the carriage. Lately, she was like a sandwich filling, with an invisible fire constantly scorching her.

As soon as Ying Ji stepped off the carriage, Tuanzi automatically wrapped around her neck. Yuan Ge first took a place to the side, followed by Liu Bang, Han Fei, and Xiao He.

On the other side, Zhang Liang stood close by, along with Bai Changchuan, Fan Kuai, and the Yuezhi.

The two little ones were equally adorable; Fusu clung to his leg, begging for a hug, while Han Xin simply held onto the hem of his clothes obediently.

Ying Ji felt like she could barely breathe: [No, I need to get back to the palace right away.]

Yuan Ge took Fusu away directly, while the rest of them remained in Danyang Prefecture for the time being.

Zhang Liang watched Ying Ji leave and then moved into Ying Ji's main courtyard. Zhang Han, not understanding why, quickly advised, "Young master, this is the master bedroom of the Danyang master. I will take you to find another place to stay."

Zhang Liang smiled without saying a word. Han Fei quickly stepped forward, bowed his head and said something to Zhang Han. Zhang Han glanced at Zhang Liang, then at Bai Changchuan, and nodded.

However, he still didn't let him stay in the master bedroom. Zhang Han looked apologetic: "So it's Young Master Liang. I was rude. It's not that I was trying to make things difficult. Master Danyang instructed that no one is allowed to live in the master bedroom, but you can choose any room in the backyard."

Zhang Liang was led to the backyard. Compared to ordinary courtyards, Danyang Mansion had many more ingenious ideas, including the latest type of rotating lanterns that could provide light with just a slight turn.

There were also many sparkling crystals scraped off the trees, and the artificial mountain was not bare. A painting was carved out on it, and if it rained, the little figures on the artificial mountain would be moved by the water, becoming lively and natural.

There is also a patch of flowering vines that looks somewhat bare now that the weather is cool, but it will surely be fresh and natural in early spring.

Although Zhang Liang was the son of the Prime Minister of the State of Han, he was still somewhat intrigued, and Zhang Han accompanied him to explain everything.

Finally, after choosing a place to stay, Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief. He had known about this good young master for a long time, but sometimes pretending not to know was the quickest way to resolve things.

Liu Bang's parents had arrived in Xianyang earlier and had been settled in the family compound. They had already become close friends with some people, especially Xiao He's mother.

They felt more at ease than ever before. No one bullied them, a widow and her children; on the contrary, they were very kind. As long as they worked hard, they had no worries about food, clothing, or shelter. Therefore, Xiao He was even more grateful to Ying Ji when he saw his mother's condition.

When Xiao's mother heard that her son had returned, she put down her weaving, asked her supervisor for leave, and rushed to greet him: "Xiao He, Xiao He, your mother is here."

Xiao He missed his mother dearly after being away from her for over a month. He bid farewell to Liu Bang and Fan Kuai and returned home with his mother.

Fan Kuai was patted hard on the shoulder twice by Fan Hui, whom he hadn't seen in a long time and missed. He then led the man away, saying, "You little rascal, you've gotten much stronger in just a few days. It seems that Lord Danyang thinks highly of you. You should study hard and not embarrass your father."

Fan Kuai grinned, showing his big teeth: "Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely become a great general someday."

Fan Hui slapped the back of his head: "You get carried away after just a few compliments. You shouldn't have complimented me. Hurry home, your mother is waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Liu Tuan was also excited to see his son: "Son, let your father take a look at you. Wow, you've grown quite strong. It seems that Lord Danyang thinks highly of you. Follow him closely, and wealth and honor will be within your grasp in the future."

Liu Bang and his father laughed and joked for a long time before returning home arm in arm.

Han Xin's mother did not have a house yet, so after Zhang Han settled Zhang Liang in, he took people to choose a place to live.

Looking at the neat and tidy large room, Han's mother was somewhat at a loss: "Sir, are all these large rooms for us to live in? There are only two of us."

Zhang Han smiled and explained, "This is the standard set by Lord Danyang. It's already prepared for a small family. Don't worry about staying here. You can take a look around for the next couple of days and get familiar with the place. You can also chat with Xiao He's mother next door. Considering that you are both single parents, you can help each other out."

Han's mother thanked her repeatedly, and looking at the house, which was about fifty square meters, she smiled and said, "Xin'er, this Lord Danyang is a very kind person. My Xin'er will be blessed in the future."

Han Xin watched this scene, and although he was not good with words, his eyes still revealed joy.

The next morning, Xiao's mother came to see Han's mother: "You must be Han Xin's mother. It must have been so hard for you to raise a child all by yourself. Steward Zhang said that you are also from Sishui and asked me to take good care of you. He even gave me a day off. Today, I'll show you around."

Han's mother was a little awkward, but gradually relaxed, and with an expression of shock, she continued to learn about the people and things around her.

Han's mother was a little embarrassed: "These, so many good things, I've never seen them before. Won't people look down on me?"

Xiao's mother smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was just like you when I first came. You'll get used to it after a while. Come on, let me take you to get your things."

Han's mother asked in confusion, "What do you need to get?"

Xiao's mother smiled mysteriously: "You have no idea, I was shocked when I first arrived. That thing is called soap, it's white and fluffy, and it's great for washing hands, bathing, washing hair, and washing clothes. You can get one bar a month for it, and you can get an extra bar for doing work. Do you have any skills? We need people for weaving, embroidery, and the kitchen."

Han's mother was delighted, finally able to help: "I can do it, I can do it. I know embroidery, and I do all the sewing at home. I'm not very good at cooking, but I can learn. I've never been involved in textiles before."

Mother Xiao took Mother Han's hand and said, "Come on, come on, I'll show you around. See which one you like. It's great here. We work two shifts a day, and lunch is provided. Oh, and if anyone dares to flirt with you, just tell the manager. He'll take away all of that family's rewards, and if it's serious, he'll kick them out. Don't be afraid, just do your job well. Lady Danyang is a woman, and she'll always protect us."

Han's mother burst into tears, wiping them away with her clothes: "I know, I know. Lord Danyang has been very good to me all the way. I will definitely work hard in the future to repay Lord Danyang."

Xiao's mother understood best; both were widows, and she knew the pain in their hearts. She held them and made them cry for a long time. When Han Xin was tired of crying, he went out for a walk and came home to find the two women hugging and crying.

Upon seeing Han Xin return, the two exchanged a smile.

Mother Han: "Xin'er, come quickly and meet your Aunt Xiao. She lives next door. Brother Xiao He is your Aunt Xiao's son."

Han Xin obediently greeted, "Hello, Aunt Xiao."

Seeing that Han Xin was cute and chubby, Xiao's mother touched her sleeve and gave him a piece of maltose: "This is maltose made by the sugar company. It's a little burnt, so it doesn't look very appealing, but it tastes really good."

Han's mother initially wanted to refuse, but then thought that they were a bit unfamiliar with each other, so she nodded and let Han Xin accept it.

After Xiao's mother left, Han Xin divided the candy in half: "Mother, you eat it, we'll each have half."

Han's mother smiled and cried. The malt sugar in her mouth was sweet with a slight burnt taste, but Han's mother was very happy. She hugged Han Xin and said, "My son will never have to suffer again. Be good, Xin'er. Study hard in the future and help Lord Danyang when you grow up."

Han Xin nodded earnestly and hugged his mother: "Mother, I will. I will be the best student in the school."

After speaking, she showed the small crossbody bag and books issued by the school. Han's mother couldn't read, but she was already very satisfied with the small book. Even at night, when she fell asleep under the soft, sun-dried quilt, she felt like she was dreaming.
