Before leaving, Zilan left some good things for her mother's family and her grandfather's house, including the spirit wine and spirit tea they loved to drink.

Before leaving, Cui Hao also went to Song's house, met his father-in-law, and listened carefully to the tips and admonitions, especially Song Zhengtian's many matters to be paid attention to in Jiangnan Salt Patrol, which were explained in detail.

After arranging everything, he boarded the ship to Jiangnan, said goodbye to his relatives and son, and went to Jiangnan.

Standing on the deck, Zilan was still reluctantly looking at the shore, but in fact, she couldn't see it anymore, but she was still reluctant to go back to the cabin.

Cui Hao took a cloak and put it on her, hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Go back, it's windy here, don't blow it." ”

"Looking at my children, I feel like I'm missing out a lot, but I'm actually a very selfish mother."

Zilan sighed, thinking of Brother Ling's crying face, and Brother Ling's pretending to be strong with red circles under his eyes, her heart was like a needle prick, and she was extremely sad.

Cui Hao chuckled, "Don't be stupid, when the child grows up, he will leave the arms of his parents step by step, and he is eager to go to the outside world to see."

If it weren't for your sacrifice and hard work over the years, where would they have such a good life, as long as they can have a good ranking, and there will be no shortage of contacts and resources in the court in the future, are these falling from the sky, and we haven't worked hard for them.

I still remember that you and Ziyan were not very old back then, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law also went to Jiangnan to take up their posts, didn't they leave you the same.

How can you get to know me if you don't get promoted, I can't say that you have to enter the palace draft to improve your status, or it is not necessary to enter the palace.

You must know that my father-in-law's official position is too low, my grandfather will definitely not choose you as his granddaughter-in-law, and he will definitely choose other girls from the Song family.

In the same way, if our official position is too low, how do you think the eldest daughter of an excellent family will agree to marry your son, is it just a good face to marry a daughter-in-law? What are you kidding, it's almost the same to dream about the Spring and Autumn Festival. ”

Although the words are a little ugly, but the fact is that this is the case, if it weren't for Song Zhengtian's promotion, the future is bright, if it weren't for the fact that Zilan and Song Ziyan are both very good, and the family style is upright, how could the old lady consider her, the seven-rank official and the prime minister of the dynasty are married, this gap is a bit big.

Zilan sighed after hearing this, "That's what I said, but I never left the child, and I feel very uncomfortable in my heart."

In the past, I was busy at home, even if the child was asleep, I could take a look, and my heart was also steady, I knew that all my efforts for them were worth it, and I would not see the child for several years, and my heart was empty. ”

When the mother leaves the child, she can't let go of it.

But she had to follow Cui Hao to go out, Jiangnan still had the task assigned to her by the emperor.

These hardships will be turned into the best resources and treatment for the three children of Brother Lu and Brother Ling Xin in the future, as long as you have talents, your brain is not stupid, and your future is bright.

She didn't even worry about the children's family affairs, just with the reputation of their husband and wife and the Cui family, she didn't have to worry about finding the best and most outstanding girl, and the royal county lord and county lord couldn't think about it.

Now she has the confidence to say this, the Cui family is upright and does not allow concubines, of course the royal daughter is willing, why don't you want to, excellent children can also be seen by others.

"Can you write to them when you miss them, let's go back."

Cui Hao took his daughter-in-law back to the house.

Idle is also idle, Zilan took the soles out to do the work, and made two pairs of shoes for Cui Hao.

Although he is usually very busy, Cui Hao's clothes, shoes and socks must be changed and washed all year round.

"Don't do it when you're tired. Don't pick your eyes. ”

Cui Hao frowned, and stopped pricking his hands in a trance.

"I'll find something to do, just calm down."

Cui Hao stepped forward and snatched her needle and thread, "Don't do it, otherwise you can draw and write, and you will be able to see a different scenery tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you haven't come out before, you should draw a few paintings as a souvenir, and you can also take them back for the children to take a look at." ”

Zilan thought about it and nodded, and put down the needle and thread.

In order to make her happy, Cui Hao guarded her every inch for several days, changing his methods to make her happy, accompanying her to paint, write poems and practice calligraphy, and Zilan slowly came over.

Along the way, the scenery is really different, it is rare to have such leisure, Zilan and Cui Hao also made a lot of paintings to commemorate and bring them back to the children.

They marched for a month to reach Yangzhou, and Xuan'er, local officials, and Jinyiwei came to greet them.

"Sister, you have arrived, the road is still smooth, does Brother Ci remember your aunt?"

Xuan'er saw Zilan, and when she saw it from afar, she happily waved her hand to say hello, and when she met, she introduced her son Lan to her son Cige.

"Brother Ci has seen my aunt, thank you for her life-saving grace."

Brother Ci really knelt down and kowtowed to Zilan, he was still young and ignorant back then, and now he should naturally return a thank you gift.

Zilan walked a few steps quickly and held Xuan'er's hand, picked up Brother Ci, looked carefully, with a smile on her face, the child was very good-looking, sunny and cheerful, and the eyebrows had long since lost the timid and shy look of the year, but was down-to-earth and generous, and her eyes were quiet and bright.

She knew that Xuan'er treated him sincerely and was taking care of him as her own son.

"Brother Ci, you have grown up, you are stronger and braver than you were back then, it's good, it's good."

Looking at the children I have taken care of, getting better and better, I can't help but feel very happy and gratified.

"Brother Ci has always said that he wants to kowtow to you, and he didn't kowtow to say thank you when he was ignorant, but he always remembered that you hugged him and coaxed him to sleep, and conditioned his body, this child is not ungrateful."

Xuan'er's face was full of heartfelt pride.

"Xuan'er, seeing you like this now, I feel much more relieved."

"I still need you to worry, I'll clean up the house for you, if you don't like to live in the yamen, the yard is also ready-made, the yard that my brother bought when he came back then, it is cleaned and repaired every year, and it is very cheap to live."

"Let's go to the yamen first and then decide where we want to stay."

"Okay, it's good that you're here, I'll have a place to eat in the future, our sisters haven't talked together for years, I miss you."

Xuan'er's eyebrows danced happily, holding her hand and chattering, she was really happy to see Zilan coming.

Cui Hao also finished talking to them, and sent a carriage to send them to Xuan'er to live there for a few days, the place of the yamen has not been cleaned up yet, and it needs to be handed over.

Xuan'er cleaned up a separate courtyard for them, everything was proper and careful, and the scenery was elegant and beautiful.

"You really spent a lot of money on this yard, and it looks luxurious everywhere."

After all, far away from the capital, the rich people here are just like the emperor of the soil.

"I bought a ready-made one, which used to belong to a salt merchant, and spent a lot of money to hire someone to build the yard, and when they fell, my brother asked me if I wanted it, and it was just right to recycle the silver and put it into the treasury, and I liked it when I saw it, and I bought it immediately."
