Chapter 332 Moved
Tang Yichen's deadline to return home has arrived, and he must rush back to the capital to report. If he does not return for a long time, even if the court wants to promote him, they will probably not use him because they see how lazy he is.
Tang Luwu watched the servants load large and small bags of things onto the carriage.
The most spacious and comfortable carriage was for Tang Yichen, and the three carriages behind were filled with various important daily necessities.
Qin Huiyin began preparing various storable snacks like dried meat, fish, and shrimp ten days in advance. Tang Luwu and Tang Sanmei crafted over a dozen sets of clothes for all four seasons, using the finest materials for Tang Yichen, ensuring he wouldn't be too conspicuous, yet still look down on others. Li Taohua, too lazy to worry about anything else, simply handed Tang Yichen a wad of banknotes, telling him to buy whatever he needed and also to use them to manage his subordinates.
Tang Dafu advised, "Now that you have a successful career, you can think about your lifelong affairs. If you find a suitable girl, please write to us and we will rush to the capital to propose for you."
"Brother Chen hasn't secured an official position yet, so there's no rush for other things. He's still young, so if he can get promoted first, he'll naturally find a better one," Li Taohua said. "Although he's the top scholar, his initial official position won't be very high. A fifth or sixth rank official can only marry a third or fourth rank official at best. If he can get promoted to the second or third rank, he can even marry a noblewoman like a county lady or princess."
"My wife is right. Let's not rush into marriage. Let's get to know each other first." Tang Dafu didn't understand these things, so he just did whatever his wife said.
Tang Yi laughed and said, "If my brother were a fifth-rank official and married the daughter of a third-rank official, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold his head high. In my opinion, it's better not to marry someone too high, otherwise he'll end up like Brother Li across the street, being tormented by his wife all day and having to live his life depending on her mood."
Li Taohua said, "Can the Li across the street compare to your brother? Although your brother is from a commoner family, the current emperor is oppressed by the aristocratic families and needs an official with a simple and clean background to serve him. Your brother is not from an aristocratic family, so the emperor will definitely promote students like you who are from commoner families to compete with the aristocratic families. Your brother is someone the aristocratic families want to befriend, so many officials are willing to marry their daughters to him. Besides, let's not talk about anything else. Just look at your brother's face. How many noble ladies wouldn't be tempted? If he wants to marry into a higher-class family, he can do it himself."
Seeing them arguing about his marriage, Tang Yichen quickly stopped them: "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Li, but I won't be thinking about marriage in the next few years. Once you come to the capital, it won't be too late to slowly plan for me."
"Brother, I have prepared some pills for you, for treating typhoid fever, headaches, hangovers, and various injuries." Tang Yi said with a smile.
"My little brother has grown up." Tang Yichen patted Tang Yixiao's shoulder, "Now that my eldest brother is away, you are the man of the family, so you have to protect your two sisters well."
"Don't worry, big brother!" Tang Yi said with a smile, "You have to take good care of yourself too."
Tang Yichen looked at his family in front of him, feeling very reluctant to leave.
Zhang Zhen urged, "Sir, we have to set off, otherwise we won't be able to make it to the next hotel."
"I understand." Tang Yichen got on the carriage, sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked outside, his eyes fixed on Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin wore the pearl flower he gave her today, and she looked particularly bright and beautiful. At that moment, he had an idea, which was to collect more jewelry and wait for her to come to Beijing.
The wheels of the carriage turned, and the figure of the carriage became farther and farther away, until it was completely out of sight. Only then did the Tang family members turn around and go back.
Everyone's life returned to normal.
Qin Huiyin was busy with her business and often went on business trips to the provincial capital. Tang Lvwu and Li Taohua managed the food city very well. Tang Lvwu would keep an eye on the military factory from time to time, and the Rong family would also send people over. Qin Huiyin had more and more opportunities to interact with Rong Jingbo. Tang Yixiao's medical skills were getting better and better, and those he cured were full of praise for his medical skills. Everyone's life seemed to have not changed, but it also seemed to be changing every day, getting better and better.
Xia Ruwan's injuries were also recovering. The wound on her face had formed a scar, and after the scar faded, it left a deep mark, making her originally beautiful face a blemish.
Song Ruize's escort agency is moving to the capital. Jiang Qingnan, Jiang Qibin and others received a letter from Song Ruize, asking them to take their men to the capital.
Qin Huiyin held a farewell banquet for Jiang Qibin and Jiang Qingnan, and invited all her good friends.
At the farewell banquet, Zhang Erzhu hugged Jiang Qibin and cried.
Xiao Chunni, who was holding the child next to her, said helplessly, "Why are you crying? Your luggage is packed. Come with Brother Jiang and the others!"
Zhang Erzhu was stunned and looked at Xiao Chunni in shock: "Wife, you want me to go to the capital?"
Xiao Chunni's eyes were red. "I know you're thinking about your brothers. Instead of leaving any regrets, why not try your luck while you're still young? I'll take care of Mom and Dad, and I'll help with Big Brother's business. You don't have to worry about the children. Just go with Big Brother Jiang and the others to see the world outside. I'll wait for you to come back."
Zhang Dazhu said, "Wait until you have established yourself in the capital and write back, and we will send your sister-in-law and child to you. I am married now, and you know your sister-in-law's temperament. She is very kind and will not treat your wife and child badly. You have been depressed these days, and we can guess what is going on. We are brothers, so if you have any ideas, just say them, and don't wait for your brother to guess."
Zhang Erzhu was deeply moved and hugged Zhang Dazhu gratefully, saying, "Thank you, brother."
Qin Huiyin said: "Brothers, you are going to the capital to make a name for yourself. We wish you all a successful start."
"The capital city is where the emperor lives. I really hope we can go to the capital city to play for the rest of our lives." Xiang Chuntao showed a longing look.
"We won't leave until we're drunk today." Li Taohua raised her glass. "We don't know when we'll be able to get together again, so we must cherish the present moment."
"Aunt Taohua is right." Xiao Chunni said with a smile.
Mrs. Xia snatched the wine glass from Xia Ruwan's hand and forbade her to drink. Although Xia Ruwan's wound had scabbed over, it was still healing.
The damaged side of Xia Ruwan's face was covered with a mask with many tassels, which was very beautiful. Wearing it like this actually added a bit of mystery.
The mask was made from gold based on Qin Huiyin's drawings. Xia Ruwan couldn't let it go after putting it on, and she seemed to not care about her disfigured face.
"Ah..." Mrs. Xia held her belly, "My belly..."
Xiao Chunni, who had experience with childbirth, saw the water stains coming out of Mrs. Xia and said nervously, "She's about to give birth. Where's the midwife?"
