Chapter 280

Chun Ning found a security escort agency and hired a bodyguard.

The Xiao family's return to Beijing has been put on the agenda.

What puzzled Xu and the others was that Chunnuan did not intend to come along.

"After the special imperial examination in the spring, there is a high chance that the second young master will pass the exam. At that time, the Zhao family will move to the capital. By then, the children will be a bit older, and it won't be too late to return to the capital."

"That's fine."

Mrs. Xu nodded: "You've thought this through very well."

Yes, they were all so overwhelmed with joy that they forgot Nuannuan's child was still so young.

"Second Aunt, Muyang will miss you."

When Xiao Muyang first arrived in Shu, he was still in Zhu's belly. Now, he stood in front of Chunnuan looking every bit the young master.

"Auntie will miss her son too."

Chunnuan patted his shoulder: "Don't slack off after you return to the capital. Your mother will hire a tutor for you. As for your future path, whether you study, become a doctor, or even go into business is up to you. But you must remember that no path is easy. All of them require hard work and perseverance. They are all arduous journeys."

The Xiao family cannot produce纨绔子弟 (spoiled brats).

Of course, Xiao Chunnuan believed that Xiao Muyang, who grew up in Sichuan, would be an outstanding eldest grandson of the Xiao family.

"Yes, Aunt, Muyang will remember your teachings!"

This child is so adorable!
"Your father will also return after we go back to the capital."

"Yes, Muyang will take good care of his grandfather and father. They have worked hard."

"Good boy."

Chunnuan nodded.

You've all worked hard!
The Xiao family members have truly endured hardship to get to this day, and thankfully, they have all made it to the day they can return to Beijing!
When Aunt Luo heard that the Xiao family was going back to Beijing, she was very happy for them, but also very reluctant to see them go.

"Spring is here, I'm afraid I won't see you again."

"Aunt Luo, you can come to Beijing to find us."

"How could that be?" Aunt Luo laughed. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have been able to go to Changzhou."

Thanks to Chunnuan's help, the Luo family has prospered in recent years. They have not only upgraded from a few dilapidated houses to eight large brick houses, but also transformed from tenant farmers into farmers who own more than 20 mu of land. They have also bought small courtyards in the town and Changzhou.

Eight years ago, Aunt Luo wouldn't have dared to dream of such a life.

"Chunnuan, your family is going back to the capital. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"The family's assets will all be left behind and will not be disposed of. Wu Ma will be asked to look after them."

Wu Ma and the gentleman sent by the Marquis's family became family. Chun Nuan didn't think she would be bullied, but she still asked Aunt Luo's family to help look after her.

After all, the Luo family was born and raised here, and Uncle Luo became a well-known doctor, whose massage skills were first-rate.

"No problem, we'll definitely keep an eye on things, and nobody will be able to touch them."

Aunt Luo asked, "Will the Zhao family also move to the capital?"

Aunt Luo knew that the second young master Zhao was going to take the imperial examination, and the third young master Zhao had become a royal merchant.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven; naturally, the Zhao family also benefited.

"No," Chunnuan said. "My elder brother's family will stay in Changzhou to run the family business."

"Yes, yes, usually wealthy families have ancestral property, which is managed by someone."

Aunt Luo felt that she had broadened her horizons. Before, she only knew how to cook, wash clothes, and sew and mend. Now she also had some understanding of the affairs of wealthy families.

Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, the Luo family will become a large family in the future!

Chunnuan was chatting with Aunt Luo when a maid came to report: Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang have arrived.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang had come to see the Xiao family off after hearing that they were leaving Sichuan.

"These are some cured pork and sausages that our family made," Mrs. Zhang said to Madam Xu. "Knowing that you are about to return to the capital, my husband has been thinking about what to send as a gift. After much consideration, he could only send these cured pork and sausages. They keep for a long time, so you can eat them when you return to the capital." "Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang."

Not only Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, but also Aunt Luo's family were preparing gifts for the Xiao family, and the result of their discussion was to send sausages and cured meat.

As a result, the Xiao family suddenly had another carriage, full of sausages and cured meat, which they took away without leaving a single piece.

If for no other reason than to send someone back to the capital, it would be an excellent choice.

After all, this is a specialty of Sichuan, isn't it?

Another point is that the Xiao family has lived in Sichuan for so long, and they really like this kind of meat.

Even if you don't give it away, it's perfectly fine to keep it for yourself.

When seeing the Xiao family off, Chunnuan's eyes welled up with tears.

It wasn't that she was reluctant to leave, but watching the Xiao family embark on their journey back to the capital reminded her of her grandmother!
How wonderful it would be if Grandmother could come back to Beijing with us!
Chun Ning carried her grandmother's memorial tablet onto the carriage.

Back then... really, those things are something I really can't think about.

Meanwhile, in the northern desert, the men of the Xiao family, freshly dressed, looked at each other with tears in their eyes!
Seven years, a full seven years, they endured seven long years in the northern desert.

The once spirited man now has graying temples.

"Brother, we can go back to the capital now."

"Yes, we can go back to Beijing now."

"We finally made it through."

"The most remarkable thing is that we all returned to Beijing unharmed."

"But there are no more fathers and mothers in the capital."

One by one, their noses stung and their eyes reddened!

Thinking of his father's tragic past and the misfortune that befell the Xiao family, he didn't even dare to harbor any resentment!

How innocent!

After returning to Beijing, the family was reunited, and their first priority was to help their adult children get married and have children.

There are also several adult girls in the family who are well past the age of marriage, and they don't know what kind of family would be suitable for them to marry.

Along the way, Xu, Xu, and Huang were all worried and discussing these matters.

"Seven years is too long."

They've dragged the children into old maids.

Thinking back to the demands her family had made in their letter years ago, and then to the foolish thing she had done back then, Huang felt it was all very ironic.

She almost ruined her daughter's life!
Now that she's back in Beijing, I hope my daughter can find a good family.

In the capital, Xiao Chunyu returned to the Xiao family home with her servants, directing them to clean and arrange the furniture.

“Miss, there used to be a desk here, which the old master and the second young lady used to chat.”

"Put it on."

"Yes."

“Young Miss, the study is still missing some books. Back when the old imperial physician was alive, the bookshelves were filled with medical books, but now we can’t find them all.”

“Grandfather and Nuannuan’s favorite books are medical books. They send people to buy them, no matter what kind, and put them all on display so there are no gaps.”

"Yes."

"Miss, Madam and the others will be arriving in a few days. Shouldn't the main kitchen start preparing?"

"Get everything ready. Also, have a slave trader bring some people over. I want to buy a few maids."

As they were talking, a commotion broke out outside.

"Good news! Good news! Urgent dispatch! Good news has arrived from the border!"
