After listening to Xiaowen's words, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the laughter diluted the sadness of parting, as if a ray of sunshine broke through the long-suppressed haze, making the sky finally crack a warm gap.

At the door of Li's house, Li Ziyu knelt in front of his father with his younger siblings and said goodbye to him. The rest of the men also knelt behind them and said goodbye to their master. Then, Li Ziyu took his younger siblings into the carriage, and a group of ten carriages slowly drove towards the outside of the city.

Li Xiguang's tall and sturdy body stood firmly on the steps of the gate, watching his children gradually move away. He tried his best to suppress the urge to catch up, his deep eyes staring closely at the carriage farther and farther away, his eyelashes blinking slightly, and a tear quietly fell.

In front of and on the left and right of the carriage, there were fifty horses personally selected by Ah Quan, who personally led the team to escort the carriage.

This time when he entered Beijing, Ah Quan divided the men and horses in his hand into several parts. Although the old master Li Xiguang is now surrounded by his cronies, he did not take it lightly, and still arranged a team of people to wait around and get in touch with Li Xiguang regularly. Around the Li family's shops and properties, in addition to the guards on the surface, he also secretly left many people to supervise whether the stewards of each shop were responsible. These people left behind not only have to supervise the operation of the shop, but also are responsible for collecting information from various channels, so that they know what to do.

Now in the base deep in Dalingzi Mountain, only a small number of people are still there, and the rest of the people have walked out of the mountain according to Li Xiguang's instructions and rushed to various places in Daye Dynasty to find out the local situation in the name of doing business and take root. Slowly soak in and build up their sphere of influence.

Li Xiguang hopes that no matter where he is in Daye Dynasty, he will have a place where his children can live, so that he will not be as panicked as he was at the beginning, like a lost dog with nowhere to go.

Now. In the third carriage of the group, Li Ziyu took Xiaolan to sit in the carriage, and the maid Xiaoyuer waited around. Outside the carriage, Ao Nan and Gu Yun rode horses to protect the carriage on the left and right of the carriage, saying that they would not enter the carriage at all.

Now there is only Xiao Yu'er left among the maids around Li Ziyu, and when Xiao Ou got married three years ago, the eldest girl and Xiaocao went to the Zheng family as the maids to dowry. Xue Manho's daughter, Xue Lingling, married Zheng Dongwang of Gazi in Yangcaogouzi Village two years ago. Now that she has become a mother, she gave birth to a big fat boy half a year ago.

Lin Sisi of Lin Guotian's family and Shao Ligen formed a pair, and almost married Xue Lingling. Eight months ago, she gave birth to a fat girl, but Shao Ligen and his family were very happy, and no one disliked that the first child was a girl. Xue Lingling and Lin Sisi gave them the deed of sale as early as when they were discussing marriage, and cancelled their slave status. Let the Xue and Lin families be grateful. is even more desperate for Li Ziyu.

What satisfied them was not only the cancellation of their slave status, but also the most important husband in the Li family's industry was reused by Li Ziyu, with a minimum monthly income of five taels, and if the sales were good, Li Ziyu would also give bonuses.

I have to talk about Xiaohua here, Xiaohua somehow looked at Chai Bin's subordinate Zifeng, and she had to marry him alive or dead. Because Zifeng was a slave of the Li family, he did not agree to this marriage, which hit Xiaohua deeply. Later, Li Ziyu discussed it with Chai Bin and his wife. It was decided to dismiss Zifeng from his slavery and give him the surname Li. Let him marry Xiaohua, and let him be in charge of the liaison between the various shops in Zhangkou Town.

When Zifeng, Xue Lingling, and Lin Sisi got married, Li Ziyu, as the original master, not only canceled their slave status, but also gave each of them fifty taels of silver as a congratulatory gift. At this moment, not only the three of them were grateful, but even the other subordinates also seemed to see the dawn, and their spirit suddenly rose to a new height.

In the first carriage were Xiaoshan and Xiaohu, and their little servants Li Zhen, Li Ping, and Li Yi did not serve them in the carriage, but were driven by Xiaoshan into the last carriage. In the second carriage were Xiaowen and Xiaowu, and their little servants Li Nan and Li Tong also let them rush to the last second carriage. The main reason is that they are too independent and don't want to rest with the little guy around them. The space in the carriage is limited, and if the little guy occupies some more space, there will be no room to lie down and rest. In this way, the little ones can also get enough rest and not be depressed by the long journey.

The fourth carriage was in Chai Bin's family, Chai Bin and Chai Xiaochun rode horses in the escort team, and Wang Qiuyue and Chai Xiaoxue sat in the carriage and could lie down and rest properly. In the fifth carriage sat Lin Guotian's family, Lin's sister-in-law was a little silent because of the difference between her and her daughter Lin Sisi, but her sons Lin Zhu and Lin Qiu did not say goodbye, excitedly looking forward to the prosperous beauty of the capital in the future.

Lin Zhu is sixteen years old this year, tall and strong, and his honest, simple, and steady temperament has won Li Ziyu's trust. The reason why Li Ziyu let Lin Guotian's family follow him into Beijing this time was mainly because he fell in love with Lin Zhu's character, and his eyes were black in the capital, and he must have someone he fully trusted. Although my grandfather's family is also here, the connections from the big family are not allowed to look down on the people in this small ravine. Don't look at the emperor who named himself the county lord, but how did this county lord come to be unclear? Therefore, she has never been lucky because she was named the county lord. On the contrary, as soon as the county lord enters Beijing, I am afraid that it will cause the suppression and attack of those royal relatives and nobles.

The second son of the Lin family also made Li Ziyu very satisfied, Lin Qiu is thirteen years old this year, and the biggest advantage of this clever boy is that he can meet the source left and right, and he is very clever and eye-catching.

The sixth carriage was occupied by several mothers-in-law, except for Mrs. Qian, who married Zhao Zheng, and several other mothers-in-law, Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Zheng, and Mrs. Qian. The seventh carriage was carrying pots and pans, grain, firewood, spices, oilcloths, etc., so that everyone could have a hot meal in case they were camped out in the wilderness. The seventh and eighth carriages were loaded with the bedding and change of clothes of the guards, and if you were tired, you could take a nap in the carriage.

The carriage prepared by Li Ziyu this time is waterproof, and even if it rains, the people in the carriage will not get drenched. It's just that, looking at these guards hugging each other, she feels that her father and Ah Quan are too public, as if she is afraid that others will not know about her line, and she can't keep a low profile. In fact, I just want to go on the road in a low-key way, and I don't want a guard. Even if there is an eyeless collision, she is not afraid, because the driver of each car is the escort of Chai Bin in the house, and it is just because each person can easily get on the road with one car. And she is still walking with Lin Tianshu all the way, what danger can she have? However, this arrangement was strongly opposed by his father, and he had to agree to the fifty guards sent by Ah Quan to escort him on the road.

A group of ten carriages converged with Lin Tianshu's vehicle at the South City Gate, and the two sides had a few brief conversations, and the carriage galloped all the way along the official road.
