The group of people walked slowly and leisurely while enjoying the scenery. Within three hours, the carriage had already reached the gate of the county town.

Yan Shu originally said to take a carriage back, but Liu Zhuo still insisted on sending them to Huaishu Village.

"Then just send it to the entrance of the village, otherwise the villagers will gossip again when they see it."

Yan Shu couldn't bear to refuse Liu Zhuo's kindness.

Yaya has been restless in the carriage.

She was telling Rui'er about interesting things in their village, and inviting him and Liu Zhuo to come and play when they had time.

Yan Shu and Liu Zhuo have their own concerns.

The carriage soon arrived at the locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Yan Shu and Yaya got out of the car and said goodbye to Liu Zhuo.

"Rui'er, practice hard with Uncle Liu, and don't let your uncle's training for you go down. We will come to the county to see you when we have time."

Yan Shu touched his head and said:

"Be good, don't cry. Eat well from now on, and then you'll have the strength to do things, you know."

Rui'er nodded hard, he liked this kind aunt so much.

Liu Zhuo didn't know what to say and could only look at Yan Shu silently.

Yan Shu held a few boxes of simple luggage and thanked him politely.

Liu Zhuo: "Thank you, you're going to bother me anyway. I'll send it to you when the valuables you escorted from the capital arrive."

Yan Shu smiled:

"Yes, then you should go back early, it's getting dark."

Yaya ran ahead excitedly, giggling when she thought about seeing the egg yolk soon.

"Hey, Yaya, please run slower."

Yan Shu still carried several boxes in her hands, so she could only chase Yaya away with one foot and one foot at a time.

"Oh, who do I think you are? My eldest sister, you are back!"

It was Cuizhi from Youfang who spoke.

She was just finishing pouring the foot-washing water into her courtyard when she saw Yan Shu and her daughter walking towards the courtyard.

Egg Yolk barked at first, and when he saw it was Yaya, he swung his butt and swung his tail excitedly in the yard.

I haven’t seen it for more than 20 days, and the yolk has grown stronger. With its golden fur and thick limbs, it looks like it has been nourished by good food and drink.

"Egg yolk, egg yolk, come here quickly."

Yaya called affectionately.

Egg Yolk was a little timid at first, after all, he hadn't seen his master for so long.

Then it tried to get closer, and when it smelled the familiar scent of its owners, it rubbed against Yaya's legs like crazy, and jumped excitedly in front of Yan Shu.

"Look at this silly dog, it's so excited. During this time when you are away, it has to go back to your house to stay every day. Now it is really happy to be back."

Cuizhi said and pulled out two small stools.

"It's been too troublesome for you during this period. Thank you for helping me look at the egg yolks, Sister-in-law Cuizhi. I originally said I would be back in three to five days, but I encountered other things and it took a long time."

Yan Shu explained while sitting down to take a breath.

"Hey, you haven't eaten yet. I still have some food here. Eat some." Cuizhi greeted warmly.

Yan Shu refused. After a while, they have to go home and tidy up. I'm really tired from traveling all the way.

She opened a box she was carrying and took out some pastries from Kyoto and two pieces of fine fabric.

"Come on, sister-in-law. It's just a little thought from me. I haven't prepared anything else. I hope you don't dislike it."

Yan Shu put the things on the table.

Cuizhi: "Oh, how embarrassing is this."

Her eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at the two pieces of fabric. They were the most fashionable Yun Guang brocade in Kyoto. Even under such dim light at night, it can still shine, not to mention how beautiful it is under bright light during the day.

I'm afraid I will never be able to buy such good fabrics in this remote place.

What she didn't know was that this was a reward from the emperor to Yan Shu for saving the princess. Of course they are all good things.

Cuizhi didn't show any pretense, she just thanked him and accepted it happily.

Chen Sheng came out of the room to greet Yan Shu. He said that he didn't expect Yan Shu to stay in Kyoto for so long. It's a happy event to be back now. !

Yan Shu talked with the couple for a while and then decided to go home.

Cuizhi asked Chen Sheng to help Yan Shu carry the things, while Yaya walked in front and led the way with Egg Yolk. As Yan Shu walked on this country road, she suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.

Chen Sheng put down his things in the yard and left, leaving Yan Shu, her daughter and Egg Yolk behind.

Yan Shu looked at the dead vines in the yard before she left and saw that they had sprouted green buds. I can't help but sigh that time flies by so fast.

Fortunately, she came back safe and sound, and everything here was waiting for them quietly.

On the other side, there was already a group of waiting people standing in front of the Liu Mansion.

Mrs. Liu sat on the Taishi chair and kept staring at the corner to the right of the gate.

This is the only place everyone must pass when returning to Liu Mansion.

Chu Yuling complained: "It's already dark and my cousin hasn't arrived yet. All of us are waiting for him to come back for dinner."

Chu Xiao took her aside and lectured her.

"You don't know that grandma loves Zhuo'er the most. Complaining like this will make her unhappy again later."

Chu Yuling: "Humph, what are you afraid of? I'm just talking. Grandma won't really blame me. She knows that I feel most sorry for my cousin."

There was already the sound of horse hooves around the corner, and a group of people looked over.

"It is indeed my Zhuo'er!"

Mrs. Liu stood up excitedly.

The maids nearby quickly came close to support her.

When Liu Zhuo saw this, he jumped off the saddle from a distance:

"My ancestor, why did you come out? My grandson came back late!"

After saying that, he helped her sit down slowly.

"Even you know that you came back late and you will be punished later."

Mrs. Liu pretended to be angry.

Chu Yuling and Chu Xiao both came forward to chat.

Especially Chu Yuling: "Humph, my cousin misses my grandma so much that the Chinese New Year is not fun without my cousin."

Liu Zhuo just smiled and invited everyone to eat.

"Oh, by the way. I almost forgot that there is someone else."

"Get out of the car quickly, we're home."

Liu Zhuo shouted twice into the carriage.

Everyone was wondering what kind of person Liu Zhuo would bring back home, and then they saw a little boy with straight features and dark eyes slowly getting out of the car.

Liu Zhuo: "This is the Liu Mansion, and it will be your home from now on. This is our ancestor, this is Uncle Chu, and this is Aunt Yuling!"

Rui'er glanced around before saluting Mrs. Liu and the Chu brothers and sisters.

The old lady saw that Liu had brought back such a cute child. Although she was confused, she was so happy that she called Rui'er over.

There have been no children in the house for a long time, and having many children makes it a lot of fun.

Liu Zhuo did not explain the origin of the child in front of everyone, firstly to avoid bringing up old things again and Rui'er's self-esteem would be frustrated, and secondly, to avoid being bullied by the servants in the house.

The Liu family members huffed and cheered around Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhuo as they entered the house.

Tonight is fourteenth, and the moon in the sky is already big and round.

After dinner, Liu Zhuo and Yan Shu were both at home, looking up at the night sky.
