Thousands of miles away in Yuzhou, Xiao Chengjun let the ship dock at the pier.

Wen Tian ran to him and tugged at his sleeve, and said softly, "Brother Chengjun, are all those boxes really given to us?"

"Well, when your boat capsized, all your belongings fell into the water. These things should be your compensation."

Xiao Chengjun thought maliciously: Even if the country girl takes it back, she and her family will not be able to wear silk and satin, so why not give it to Wen's family.

The Wen family has practiced medicine for generations and is well-known in Xinglin. The grandfather of the Wen family is also a master at the imperial hospital. I might as well borrow flowers to present Buddha and give Wen Jingyan a favor.

If the Jiang family's mother and daughter are destined to die and return to their hometown safely, they will not be able to do anything to me just because of their mud-legged status.

I am far away in Luzhou, and as a general of the Zhechong Mansion, I dare not do anything to those untouchables. Even if I kill them, it is as easy as crushing an ant.

Xiao Chengjun thought and sneered.

In my dream, I actually married a woman with the same name and surname as that little girl from the countryside. It is ridiculous to think about it. With her lowly status, she is also worthy of the same name as my wife?
Xiao Chengjun became annoyed as soon as he thought about this matter, disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

Afterwards, anyone with the surname Jiang must be suppressed.

He didn't believe that he, the dignified son of the Xiao family, had to be involved with a Jiang surnamed family.

Wen Tian cheered and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you, brother Chengjun, you are so kind!"

Xiao Chengjun nodded with a smile: "No thanks, I'll let Nanzhu take you back."

Nanzhu standing beside frowned and kept winking at the master, but the master just ignored him.

After finally waiting for the two young ladies of the Wen family to leave, Nanzhu said: "My lord, why did you give the things from the Jiang family to Miss Wen's family? Wouldn't it be criticized if people found out about it?"

Xiao Chengjun turned back to the cabin, and said as he walked: "So what if you know? Can her Jiang family afford such things?"

"But... many of the boxes are gifts from the imperial court, in case it gets to the palace..."

Nanzhu chased after the master to persuade him: "Let's not talk about others, it's hard to explain to His Highness alone."

Xiao Chengjun stopped, turned around and looked at his servant coldly: "If you don't tell me, I don't tell you, how will this matter get into the palace?"

Seeing that her master was angry, Nanzhu lowered her head, but finally dared not speak any more.

Alas, my master is good at everything, but he is stubborn. Once he finds someone displeased, he has to find ways to fix it.

I hope that the mother and daughter of the Jiang family can return home safely, and it is best not to see his son again in this life.

A few days later, Xiao Chengjun's boat finally arrived in Luzhou.

Because he was delayed for many days on the way, he returned to the mansion with his eldest brother Xiao Mo one after the other.

Xiao Chengyu, the stepmother's son, ran over and stood not far away, looking curiously at the elder brother and the second brother.

Xiao Mo approached and touched his head, and went straight into his father's study.

The five-year-old Xiao Chengyu glanced at his second brother again, seeing that he didn't pay much attention to him, snorted, ignored him, and ran into the house with his elder brother.

Xiao Chengjun thought for a while, and then walked into his father's study.

Half an hour later, the two brothers came out of the study after finishing talking with their father.

Xiao Mo looked at his second brother and asked, "Did you send the Jiang family back?"

"En." Xiao Chengjuan said vaguely, without blushing, "I sent someone to send it back."

Xiao Mo nodded, and walked out: "You report to Zhechong Mansion with me first, arrange your duties, and then talk about other things."

After walking out of the Moon Gate, Xiao Mo turned to his younger brother and said, "You are still young, so you should discuss it with a few people before doing it, so as not to make mistakes."

"Yes!" Xiao Chengjun replied, "My brother must be cautious in his words and deeds."

He is here for experience, so naturally he can't make mistakes in official business, otherwise he will have to pay for it if he fails the assessment.

...

Besides, Yingbao and his party finally arrived at Qinchuan County Water Transport Wharf a few days later.

After getting off the boat, Yingbao found a post office and sent the written letter.

On the boat before, she borrowed Li Xu's pen and ink to make a list of all the money and things she got in the palace, and wrote a list of the things she saw in the capital, including the things she liked. If you didn't buy it, write it down, put it in an envelope, put it in a waterproof pouch, and mail it with Li Xu's status as a scholar.

It is estimated that Dai Wang will receive it in a short time.

It doesn't matter if you don't receive it, anyway, I have written several copies, and it won't be too late for them to take it back when the government comes to her to buy the medicine.

In fact, she kept all the really valuable things in the cave, and those boxes were nothing more than insignificant clothes and shoes.

By the way, there are still a lot of fruits and dry food. In such a hot weather, they should all stink in the box.

A group of five hired two mule carts, set off early the next morning, and returned to Dongchen Village at noon.

As soon as Li Xu's mother and son were sent to the school, he saw his younger brother Jiang Wu rushing towards him.

"Mother! Mother! Sister! You are back..." Jiang Wu hugged Chunniang's waist and began to cry.

Chun Niang hugged her son and asked, "Is everything okay at home? Where's your father?"

"Father has gone to the fields, I'll call him!" Jiang Wu struggled to get out of A Niang's arms.

Chun Niang put down her son and watched him run out.

Yingbao said to Li Xu: "From now on, you and your aunt will live here, you can use the things in the house, and I will send some food later."

"Okay, thank you, little doctor." Li Xu helped his mother to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard of the school, and ran to open the door by himself.

The room is very spacious and fully furnished, even wooden boxes for clothes.

There are also ready-made pots and pans in the kitchen, but the iron pot is a little rusty, and the cupboard and water tank are also full of dust.

But even so, it was much better than his own family.

When he turned back, he went to fetch water to wash it again, and this will be the home of his mother and son from now on.

Chunniang and the coachman put down all the belongings of Li Xu's mother and son, and then led the daughter home.

Chen Zhaozao got out of the car with his bag on his back when they passed by Xichen Village, and trotted all the way home. There was still a red paper door god pasted on the gate of Chen Laoshuan's house, and some happy event happened.

After entering her own yard, Chun Niang unloaded all her belongings from the car, and after paying the fare, the two drivers drove away.

Jiang old man and Jiang Liushi also ran over upon hearing the sound.

Seeing Yingbao, the old lady hugged her and kept calling Xiao Guaier.

"My dear baby, why have you lost weight?"

Jiang Liushi touched Yingbao's small face, and said distressedly: "Have you suffered outside?"

Ying Bao smiled and shook her head: "I didn't suffer, I got a lot of rewards there."

As he spoke, he took out two silver bracelets from the bag and gave them to grandma, "I bought them from the capital, and they are the latest style. Grandma, try them on."

The small gifts she bought for her family were not recorded in the list, so she dared to take them out. If someone came to investigate, she would have an excuse.

The old man Jiang asked: "Ying Bao, is that noble man recovered from his illness?"

"Okay." Yingbao: "I also told the nobleman about our village, and asked him to order the release of Grandpa Chen's family, and the nobleman has already agreed."

Although Murong Xian agreed, the pardon document or letter had to be approved by the emperor, and the process of passing it down from the Zhongshu Province was relatively slow.

The old man Jiang sighed: "No wonder he came to inform the chief of the Chen family to go to the county government in the afternoon yesterday. It seems that he is not beheading, but to bring someone back."

Jiang Liu said: "Isn't that right? As soon as Lizheng came over, Patriarch Chen was frightened. This morning I was crying with my wife all the way. Oh, I don't know what happened?"

While talking, Jiang Sanlang came back.

"Father! Daddy!" Ying Bao waved at her father.

Jiang Sanlang ran over in a few steps, picked up his daughter, and tears filled his eyes, "Bao'er, you are back."

Looking at his wife again, he held back in the end, he didn't have the nerve to hug her in front of his parents.
