"Mother, this time we settled on the island, it is much better than we imagined, I plan to go farther next time, to find the continent you said, when the time comes, will you be ready?" Xiao Wu remembered this and changed the topic to make his mother happy.

Yang Lan nodded, "Okay, if we can find it, we will find some people who are willing to follow you to settle there together, and make it a paradise in our hearts." She looked at the cigarette curling out the window, and said with a blurred vision.

Xiao Wu stared at her mother, and suddenly felt that her mother had never been really happy, she seemed to be bound, this thing was invisible, invisible and intangible, she not only hated the emperor, but hated the system of the world, which made people feel aggrieved, so she wanted to escape, and wanted to find a place where she could speak freely without oppression.

He pondered for a moment, thinking that it might be the place his mother had been looking forward to, or the last retreat left for them. He nodded heavily, "I'll find that place." He had a serious look in his eyes.

Yang Lan came back to her senses and showed a smile, "Don't worry, as long as you do it, I can't tell why, I just think there should be a place for yourself to retreat."

The three of them chatted while drinking tea, Yang Lan mainly learned about Mu Yan's situation, and gradually felt that he was still a good young man, his heart was very careful, and some things could be thought through very thoroughly, as a boy of this age was already very good.

Time passed quickly, but it was only a few days, and Yang Lan was reluctant to send her son and Mu Yan away. Loaded them with a lot of stuff. It's not just medicinal herbs. There are also things like their favorite snacks, and this time they may have to look further afield, not sure when they will be able to return.

Looking at her son's hopeful eyes, she felt as if she was also younger.

After her son left, Yang Lan continued to be busy with the handover of the school, because she had new ideas, she began to revise her plan again, hoping to make this school more down-to-earth and really help more people.

A letter from Fujian came. My father hopes that he will help his sister-in-law to set up a school in Fujian, and he thinks that this concept is still quite good, it can help more people, and the most important thing is that more talents can be cultivated, which is very important.

With her father's order, Yang Lan began to get busy again, because she didn't know what the local situation in Fujian was like, so she frequently corresponded with Fujian, hoping that her sister-in-law could revise her suggestions according to local customs, and also mailed her notes and experiences that she had prepared for many years. This is a complete experience note over the years, and Yang Lan mailed it to her sister-in-law. Just don't want anything wrong.

Because it was the first time to do it, my sister-in-law was also very cautious and slow, but she investigated every step very carefully and comprehensively, listened to the suggestions of many people, and considered it comprehensively.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed slowly, and a message came from Kyoto, Brother An's daughter-in-law was pregnant, Yang Lan was overjoyed, she had a grandchild, wrote a letter to condolences, and sent a lot of supplements to the past, and also asked the capital to send a few grandmothers over to help some.

After the mother-in-law learned about it, she sent the two experienced old men over, and they took care of Brother An's daughter-in-law, so there was no need for Yang Lan to worry about it, she just told some specific situations of feeding the children in the letter, and copied a copy of the diary of her raising children to her, and it was up to her to use it.

Brother An is doing a very good job in the local county, Brother An's daughter-in-law is also a capable child, helping Brother An inside and out, and even gathered a lot of officials and wives to build a main road out of the road, although it is just an ordinary sand and gravel road, paved with the goose warm stone of the river, but even this is a kind act, which greatly improves Brother An's reputation.

The relationship between the two Xiaokou is heating up rapidly, it is so good, Yang Lan smiled secretly, Brother An still felt that he didn't feel anything at the beginning, but now he is not very happy, and he can't do without it.

Rong Yi learned that his son was doing a good job there, so he personally wrote a letter to give guidance, and by the way, he also learned about the local situation of his two sons, and he knew more about some things than the children, and hoped that the children would take fewer detours.

When his term of office arrived, Rong Yi repeatedly put forward the idea of wanting to teach in the academy, and the emperor accepted his advice after he couldn't keep it, and promoted the person he recommended to be the governor of Guangdong, and continued to stay in Guangdong to stabilize Guangdong's existing achievements.

The emperor had some intention of retaining Rong Yi at this moment, as if he remembered many pleasant memories from the past, but Rong Yi was already cold-hearted, and he thought he had enough affection for his brother, but he still had a family and wife to take care of, and he couldn't follow him forever.

No matter how reluctant Rong Yi was, he still took Yang Lan to pack up his salute and prepare to leave by boat, and the current governor of Guangdong came to see him off with his wife.

Some large pieces of furniture were not able to be moved, so they were given directly, and only some light luggage was taken away.

The current governor surnamed Ma, her wife had been in contact with Yang Lan for a long time before, and they knew each other well, so she pulled Yang Lan and muttered in a low voice, "What you left for me is so timely, I won't be polite to you, write to me if you have something." Don't say that my old man saw the vegetable patch you made and said okay, you said I should find a gardener to come over and continue to pick up, but unfortunately I can't do it myself, otherwise it would be fun. She said with pity.

When you enter the main courtyard, you can see the pastoral scenery in the yard, although it is a vegetable pond but Yang Lan arranges the layout very beautifully, and it will not stink and bake mud everywhere, but it is a pastoral scenery, and there is a grape trellis, and you can sit under the shelf in summer to enjoy the coolness, not to mention how good, no wonder she praised it.

"If you like it, keep it, our family loves to eat a bite of fresh vegetables, I used to grow vegetables when I was in Kyoto, and the children ate well, and then I came here and got used to making these things by myself, and when I wanted to eat them, I picked them from the ground, and dried some vegetables in the fall, and I also ate them in winter. Aren't there a few small ones in your house, and you can ask the gardener and mother-in-law to get them for you? Yang Lan said with a smile.

Mrs. Ma nodded immediately when she heard this, "I'm just for the children, you don't know that the children saw the grapes on your shelf, and they couldn't wait for one to pick off and send it to their mouths, and they ate it without washing. She had a look of agreement, and the children in the family liked to eat lotus roots.

After the two communicated for a while, Rong Yi took Yang Lan on the boat, and officially left Guangdong, where he had lived for six years, and brought a lot of dried seafood with him when he left, planning to go to Jiangnan to bring some back to the fourth child.

This time they don't plan to go back to Kyoto, originally wanted to go back to see their in-laws, but Kyoto didn't let them go back after the letter, saying that the capital was messy, and they didn't go out, basically lived in Zhuangzi for a while, and lived at home for a while, because there was no man in the court, so basically didn't entertain guests, and the two old people had nothing to make trouble at home, it was very quiet, and the father-in-law didn't let him go back.

He was afraid that Rong Yi would not be able to leave if he went back, and this was the critical time to argue over whether to make the eldest prince the crown prince, so it was better not to get involved.

Thinking about it this way, Rong Yi followed his father's advice and didn't go back, and learned that his father and mother basically spent most of their time in Zhuangzi and didn't go back to the Hou Mansion, because there was no master in the house, and the housekeeper could just look at it, there was nothing big to deal with, and the two old men lived very happily in Zhuangzi with Brother Zhu, and they had great-grandson Sun Chenghuan under their knees, and their lives were not lonely.

They went directly to Jiangnan by boat, and when they arrived, the fourth family was already waiting at the dock.

"Sister-in-law, you are here, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, have you brought me a gift? I heard that the jewelry in Guangdong is so beautiful. The fourth daughter-in-law didn't see her at all, and pulled Yang Lan to ask questions.

Yang Lan smiled and nodded, "Bring it, I specially picked out a few sets of jewelry for you, and a set of sapphires, which are in very good condition, I will keep them for you." She patted the fourth daughter-in-law's hand and said with a smile.

"Then dare to be kind, I will say that my sister-in-law has to think of me, and she will definitely not forget me." The fourth daughter-in-law is getting more and more refreshing.

The two brothers also have a stomach to say when they meet, these old four have been practicing alone outside, and they are also calm and wise, and the whole person has transformed very much, not leaking out like before, and learning to be happy and angry.

When they arrived at the house, the subordinates had already cleaned up the side room and hot water, and the delicious porridge and side dishes were used by them, and Yang Lan ate very comfortably, "Don't say that I still like Jiangnan taste, it is light and suitable for health." ”

"Well, don't say that the food of Jiangnan people is still quite good, there are a lot of river freshness here, I should make a few river freshness for you to taste." The fourth daughter-in-law smiled happily.

"If you want me to say, sister-in-law, don't move out to live, live with us, the brothers of the family live separately for more lives, and besides, I want to ask my brother about everything." The fourth child was reluctant to let the couple move out, feeling like he couldn't tolerate his brother, as if he was afraid that his brother would take advantage of him.

Yang Lan smiled indifferently, "Then you ask your brother, if your brother is willing to live, I can do anything, anyway, I am here to support the elderly, you have to help me get something if I have something, and you can't ignore whether I am not." She doesn't care about this, brothers are close, and a good relationship is naturally a good thing.

Rong Yi pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible not to move out, but I'm afraid I won't be able to live." ”

"Where will you not be able to live, the boys are going back to Kyoto for the exam, and then they will enter the Hanlin Academy, don't stay here, the courtyard is empty, how many courtyards can you live." The fourth child rolled his eyes angrily to his brother.

"That's okay, let's stay, and we can't waste the kindness of the fourth child." Yang Lan saw that the fourth child really kept them, so she agreed.

"And what about your yard?" Rong Yi asked with a smile.

"It's not enough to buy two more yards." Yang Lan smiled as a matter of course. (To be continued......)
