On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Huo Changhe asked Yinding: "Where is that caravan now?"

"When I found them, they were already less than fifty miles away. According to the time, if they are fast, they can arrive tonight. If they are slow, they can arrive tomorrow morning."

Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "Send a message to Li Mingcheng and ask him to keep an eye on Dacheng's sending of the imperial army. If the caravan arrives, report immediately."

"Yes."

Yinding turned around to leave, but Yan Ruyu stopped him.

"What else do you want, princess?"

"This is for you. You did a good job," Yan Ruyu handed him a few cans of chocolate beans. "After meeting Envoy Li, you don't have to go back home. Go straight to Beibei and the others and go to Qian's Restaurant together."

Yinding's eyes were curved. He took the chocolate with both hands, smiled and ran out of the yard, kicking his legs and running like a fat colt.

Huo Changhe couldn't help laughing: "This kid."

With a few guys blazing the trail ahead and making arrangements in advance, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were not in a hurry.

After the portrait was dried, Huo Changhe put it into an envelope, sealed the envelope with wax, and waited for someone to send it to the capital the next morning.

Yan Ruyu looked at the title deed of the manor. The area of ​​the manor was quite large. With the forest at the back, if it was well managed, the fruit trees and grains would produce high yields. If chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and the like could be raised there, it would be a good place.

She couldn't help but think of her previous life, when she also lived in a mountain manor, almost isolated from the world. After coming here, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to own another manor. She would go and see it when she had time. She wondered what the layout was like.

Seeing that she was smiling and seemed to like it very much, Huo Changhe asked, "Do you like Zhuangzi?"

Yan Ruyu came back to her senses: "Ah, yes, the farm is bigger, and it's quiet outside the city, and you can plant whatever you want."

"When I was in Shencheng, I also had a few manors, remember? A few stewards came here a few years ago. If you like, I'll take you to see them when the weather warms up. One of them even has a natural hot spring."

Yan Ruyu remembered this incident, but it was a busy time before the New Year, with many people coming and going. The shopkeepers of the Qian family shop came one after another, and she did not pay too much attention to the managers of other places.

The managers under Huo Changhe were all loyal old men, so there was no need to check the accounts in detail, and Yan Ruyu did not even look at them carefully.

"Okay," Yan Ruyu agreed happily. "Now that I think about it, there's still a lot to do when the weather warms up."

After putting away the title deed, the two of them left the hospital. Yan Ruyu asked the eldest boss and Linlang to go there early so they didn't have to watch over the hospital anymore.

The two of them arrived at the eldest lady's yard, where she was talking to Huo Changxu.

"Look around, are there any girls you like? If so, find a chance to meet them."

Is this matchmaking? Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe stopped in tacit agreement and pricked up their ears to listen.

Huo Changxu said: "Mother, I don't like any of them."

"What? You don't see any that you like? I think they're all good. Your taste..."

"No, mother," Huo Changxu said quickly, "I'm not saying that the girl is bad, it's just that I don't have any plans to get married for the time being."

The eldest lady was surprised: "Why? You are not young anymore, why don't you have this plan? If you were still in the capital..."

The eldest lady paused and lowered her voice a little: "Xu'er, you are not still thinking about the one in the capital, are you? Her family has already broken off the engagement with us..."

"Mother, no, I..."

"Could it be that you have Ruan Xianzao in your heart? At that time, you were..."

"Mother!" Huo Changxu raised his voice, "What are you talking about? How could I? I just feel that it is not the right time yet. Now is the time for me to work hard to establish my career."

The eldest lady also felt that she had spoken out of turn, and thought to herself that she was too quick to speak and was bringing up things that were not relevant.

Clearing his throat, he softened his voice and said, "Establishing a career and starting a family are not contradictory things. Didn't I say that you should establish a career first and then start a family? Once you have a family, there will be people to take care of it for you, and you can also do things professionally, right?"

"Mother, isn't there anyone taking care of the house now? We don't need one," Huo Changxu said helplessly, "Besides, I haven't even met her yet, isn't it too early to think about taking care of her?"

"So, you have to see it first. Look at this portrait. Which one do you like?"

Turned back again.

Huo Changxu stroked his forehead with his hand: "Mother, actually I..."

The eldest lady looked at him, her mind struck by lightning: "Xu'er, you... you don't like men, do you?"

Huo Changxu coughed violently twice and almost choked to death.

Outside, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe held back their laughter. The eldest lady was indeed being outrageous.

"Mother, please collect your scattered thoughts, okay?" Huo Changxu's voice was trembling, "Please don't think about these nonsense."

"Hey, I'm not just imagining this, I read it from a storybook, and it says..."

Huo Changxu took a deep breath and said, "No, it won't be like that in the future. Please rest assured, mother."

"Mother, how about this," Huo Changxu suddenly had an idea, "I want to wait until my eldest brother and his wife have children, and then I will be the second uncle and take good care of my nephews and nieces for two years, and then get married."

"Otherwise, now that I'm married, what if I marry an unvirtuous wife and she blames me for loving my nephews and nieces? What should I do?"

The eldest lady was annoyed: "How dare she!"

"That's right. It's not worth getting angry about this. Mother, it's better for us to stay together as a family and not get involved with others."

Huo Changhe: “…” Haha, the melon has fallen on his own head.

Yan Ruyu shook her head and smiled.

Huo Changxu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard Huo Changhe outside the door say, "Then I will thank his uncle on behalf of my nephew and niece."

Huo Changxu: “…” Well, this is even more troublesome.

The eldest lady glared at him, pushed him aside and went forward, grabbing Yan Ruyu's hand and saying, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, Yu'er, have dinner here tonight."

"I just came here to invite my mother to go to Qian's Restaurant. It's already been booked, let's have some fun together."

The eldest lady said happily, "Yes, yes, I haven't been to Qian's Restaurant yet, and I heard that their food is excellent."

"Jia is no better than what your daughter-in-law cooks," Huo Changhe said with some pride, "Yu'er taught them to cook several dishes, and you ate a lot of them at home."

"Then let's go to the restaurant today, let Yu'er rest and I can eat," the eldest lady smiled, "I'll treat you."

Huo Changhe glanced at Huo Changxu and snorted.

Huo Changxu touched his nose and said obediently, "I'll treat you. Business has been good these days. Last time, my elder brother and his wife went to great lengths to save me, and I haven't thanked them yet. Oh, and my elder brother also helped me buy cheap paper and pens, so I made a lot of money."

He bought everything in the Wu family's shop at extremely low prices, which were cheaper than purchasing the goods, so he could still make a profit.

Huo Changhe said: "Mother, Yu'er, let him treat us."

"Walk."

Qian's Restaurant is particularly lively tonight.
