Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

It was great that she could come up with so many gifts in such a hurry.

Xiao Ke was extremely happy. He bowed again to express his gratitude and said that he would return these things to her at an equal value when he returned to Beijing.

After Xiao Yue knocked on the door of the City Guard's Mansion, he asked the gatekeeper to quickly inform Tang Huaian that someone had arrived from Prince Chengyang's Mansion.

When the doorman invited them to sit in the front hall for a while and sent someone to the back house to report, Xiao Yue waved his hand and returned to the open space outside the government office.

Xiao Yue looked at the gifts on the ground, as well as the six pieces of cloth in his elder brother's hand and the purse on the cloth...

Xiao Ke explained with a smile. Xiao Yue looked at Yun Tang and sighed, "Tang'er, you always bring the warehouse with you when you go out. How come you have so many things hidden in your sleeves?"

Yun Tang rolled his eyes at him, spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm out and about every day, so it's more convenient to bring more things with me."

When she said that, Xiao Yue subconsciously touched the Qiankun bag hanging around his neck...

Then, Xiao Yue nodded seriously, indicating that he agreed with Yuntang's words.

In the past, when he went out, he always rode a horse, and it was considered good if he could carry one or two bags. Of course, it was more convenient to travel light and fast.

Now, he can bring a lot of things with him. After returning to Beijing, he will have to organize and plan his Qiankun bag carefully. It is only as big as a small courtyard, so he cannot waste space.

As a few people were chatting and laughing, a young man in an official robe ran out from the open door. When he saw Xiao Ke, his eyes lit up and he ran over excitedly.

"Brother-in-law!" The man who came was Xiao Yan's husband, the eldest grandson of the retired former Minister of Personnel Tang, and the top scholar Tang Huaian who won the imperial examination one year earlier than Wu Yuyan.

Tang Huaian was already 28 years old. Before he passed the imperial examination, he had been engaged to Princess Jiayan, the eldest daughter of Prince Chengyang. They got married after he passed the imperial examination.

After leaving the Hanlin Academy, he was sent to Dezhou as a city guard of the fourth rank. Although it was far from the capital, he had a bright future as he was sent to such a high position at such a young age.

In other words, one of King Cheng's grandson-in-law and one of his grandson-in-law were both appointed to the rank of fourth grade at the age of twenty, which was already a very high starting point in their official careers.

In addition, the eldest son and two sons-in-law all hold military power, and the youngest son is in the Three Judicial Departments, all of which are very important positions.

No wonder Prince Cheng had stopped caring about things a long time ago. He went to court only to relax and would not go if he didn't want to.

Tang Huaian and Xiao Ke knew each other when they were young, and they could be considered childhood friends who got along well. However, they had not seen each other for many years, so he was not that familiar with the younger Xiao Yue.

Tang Huaian first bowed to his elder brother-in-law Xiao Ke, who was two years younger than him, before looking at Xiao Yue, who was less than 21 years old, and asked uncertainly: "But my second brother?"

Xiao Yue smiled, clasped his fists, and said, "It is Xiao Yue."

Tang Huaian laughed heartily, and then turned his gaze to Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo. He was sure that he was not familiar with them, but since they came with Xiao Ke and the others, they must be important people.

Tang Huaian bowed to Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo, who were dressed as teenagers, and said with a smile, "What are your names?"

"I am Yun Xuantang." Yuntang immediately bowed and replied politely.

Yun Xuanmo also smiled slightly, but replied: "Qinglong Guard."

Quan said that he was a Taoist priest and would have to explain his identity later. He was different from Yuntang. Yuntang was a direct relative of the Xiao family.

"So you are the master of the Qinglong Guard. I am honored to meet you." Tang Huaian didn't bother to doubt the identity of the young Taoist priest, but hurriedly bowed to Yun Xuanmo again with a respectful look on his face.

The Qinglong Guards are one level higher than the officials. Even though he has been a fourth-rank city defender for many years and has the final say in Dezhou, he still has to bow his head when he sees the Qinglong Guards.

After a brief greeting, Tang Huaian invited the few people into the mansion. Xiao Yue and Yun Xuanmo also helped to pick up the wine jars and boxes. After all, they came here on short notice and had neither carriage nor servants, so they had to do everything on their own.

Only Yuntang followed them leisurely with his hands in his sleeves. There was no difference in the layout of the City Defense Mansion in Dezhou and that in Hezhou.

There are also the government hall in the front, six rooms on both sides, the classroom, and the detention room. You can go directly to the back through a hall next to the court hall.

After passing through the courtyard and entering a hanging flower gate, and crossing the garden, you will reach the residence of the city guard and his family in the backyard.

The front part is used as an office and the back part is used as a residence. The city garrison also has guards, servants, bodyguards, maids, and servants.

Although the backyard is much smaller than the mansions in the capital, it seems spacious enough for their small family to live in.

Therefore, in addition to the guards of the City Defense Office, there were also guards and even secret guards they brought from the capital.

The last time they went to Hezhou was in the late night, but this time they came to Dezhou in the morning. It was already noon, and the entire city defense mansion had awakened, and the servants were busy.

Tang Huaian personally led the way to the front hall of the main courtyard, ordered people to serve tea and pastries, and ordered people to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, while he personally went to the backyard to tell Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's brothers came to see her. Tang Huaian wanted to tell her the good news as soon as possible. After passing the Vase Gate and reaching the East Courtyard, he couldn't help but walk a few quick steps.

The east wing is where the couple lives. Their child is still young and is also placed in this wing. The west wing is temporarily used as a warehouse and will be used for the children to live in in the future.

When I entered the room, I saw Xiao Yan personally feeding her daughter Tang Zhi egg custard.

The little girl was happy and well-behaved. From time to time she would turn her head to show her brother how seriously she was eating.

Five-year-old Tang Xuan also acts like a big brother. Whenever his sister turns around and looks at him with a bright smile, he will tacitly praise her: "Sister, you are so good!"

Tang Xuan ate his breakfast by himself, he no longer needed a wet nurse to follow him.

The servants opened the bead curtain, but Tang Huaian stood outside the curtain, looking at the warm appearance of his wife and children, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He had been in office for many years, and only his eldest son was born in the capital. A banquet was held in the capital to celebrate his first birthday, which was very lively.

Zhier was born in Texas. There were only some gifts sent by the elders, and no one came to Texas to see the child.

But he also knew that the capital was too far from Dezhou, and his father-in-law's family held positions in the southwest and had no way to go anywhere else.

I never expected that I would suddenly see my brothers from my mother's side coming over on this ordinary morning.

It’s not the New Year, nor the children’s birthdays, nor anything else…

"Didn't my husband go to the government office? Why is he back again?" When Tang Huaian was sighing, Xiao Yan saw him and spoke in surprise.

Tang Huaian then walked into the inner room and stood beside the warm kang. He picked up his daughter who was stretching out her little hands for a hug. Xiao Yan hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the egg custard residue from the child's mouth, for fear of dirtying Tang Huaian's official robe.

Tang Huaian looked at his wife, then smiled and explained the reason for coming back.

"Yan'er, your eldest brother and second brother are here. They are in the front hall."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yan let out a scream, her body swayed, and she almost lost her balance.
