After the system ran, I took off with my family

When they arrived at the front hall, Lin An asked Magistrate Tang to sit on the right side of the seat of honor, and the rest of the people sat on both sides.

Qingyuan quickly served tea to everyone and then went out the door.

Prefect Tang looked around the simple front hall and saw that Lin An and the others were a little restrained. He said gently, "Don't be restrained. We came here just to see you today."

Lin An hurriedly replied politely: "Thank you, sir. We should have come to visit you. We are rude."

"Hey, let's not say such polite words."

Prefect Tang waved his hand, then looked at the three Lin siblings standing beside him, stood up and waved, "Ayuan, Ayan, Ayue, come here, this is the gift that Uncle Tang prepared for you, see if you like it."

As he spoke, he took out three small boxes that had been prepared long ago.

Lin Shuyue and the other two looked at their parents, and when they saw them nod, they stepped forward to take the box with both hands and thanked them in unison: "Thank you, Uncle Tang."

The three of them opened the box and saw a jade plaque lying quietly in the box. The jade plaque was warm and delicate, cool and translucent, and completely white and flawless.

"This is Hetian jade!" Lin Shuyue exclaimed.

In the past, Hetian jade was known as the "king of jade". In this dynasty, only the rich and powerful could own Hetian jade of such high quality.

Prefect Tang looked at Lin Shuyue in surprise: "Ayue, you have good eyesight. This is a jade plaque carved from Hetian jade."

Seeing his daughter's expression, Lin An guessed that the jade token must be very valuable, and hurriedly declined: "Sir, this is too valuable and inappropriate."

Lin Shuyue and his two siblings closed the box and wanted to return the jade token to Prefect Tang.

"This jade pendant symbolizes peace, good fortune and happiness. It is a gift from your uncle. You cannot refuse it." Prefect Tang looked at the three siblings and said solemnly.

At this time, Liu Yufu stood up, took Lin Shuyue's hand, and helped persuade her: "After you saved Wanchu last time, your uncle Tang ordered people to carve these three jade tablets. This is a token of your uncle Tang's heart, so accept it quickly."

"Ayue, you guys should accept it quickly. My father loves to collect jade. It's rare that he is willing to give it away. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no such temple anymore." Tang Wanchu on the side interrupted.

When Tang Yunci heard his sister exposing their father's past, he lowered his head and chuckled.

Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the three siblings accepted it and then solemnly thanked Governor Tang.

"That's right. From now on, our two families should visit each other more often. We can't be so unfamiliar with each other like we are now." Liu Yufu smiled brightly.

Li and Lin An looked at each other and said with a smile, "Okay, Sister Yufu, as long as you don't mind, we will come to your house often in the future."

"Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang, you can come to Sishui County to visit us when you are free.

A Yue will take you to pick fruits, go fishing, appreciate lotus flowers, and go hunting. I am very familiar with the mountains. "Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows and said in a crisp voice.

Tang Zhiwei and Liu Yufu were amused by her cheerful appearance.

"Okay, uncle and aunt are waiting for A Yue to take us hunting. I heard from Wanchu that A Yue is very skilled, and uncle has always wanted to see it."

With Lin Shuyue's lively atmosphere, the two families were no longer as unfamiliar as before.

After chatting for a while, Li took Liu Yufu and Tang Wanchu to the backyard, while Lin An and his two sons stayed in the front hall to talk with Tang Zhiwei and his son.

Lin Shuyue walked out of the front hall, waved Qingwu over, gave him some silver, and whispered to him to go to the restaurant and order two tables of good wine and food to be sent to the house.

We had lunch in the front hall, with two tables for men and women. We wanted to separate the two tables with a screen, but Liu Yufu stopped us, saying that there was no need to be so formal.

After lunch and a cup of tea, Tang Zhiwei said goodbye to his wife, children and the Lin family. Lin An and others saw them off to the door.

Only after Li repeatedly assured her that she would come to see her next time she came to the city did Liu Yufu get on the carriage with her daughter.

Tang Zhiwei didn't know what he was thinking about. He pulled Lin An aside and looked at him seriously.

"Brother Lin, I just talked to Ah Yan and found that he is very smart. Do you plan to send him to school?

If he can pass the imperial examination, your family will be able to improve their status in the future, which will also be good for A Yue."

Hearing this, Lin An looked at his youngest son who was talking to Tang Yunci, and said solemnly: "I will ask Ah Yan later. If he has this idea, we will definitely support him."

"Okay, if Ah Yan has this idea, after he passes the examination for a student, I can recommend him to study at Bailu Academy." Tang Zhiwei said earnestly.

"Then let me thank Brother Tang on behalf of A Yan first," Lin An bowed and thanked him.

Tang Zhiwei patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, why are you being so polite to me? We'll go back first. Remember to come find us next time you come to the capital."

Then he invited Tang Yunci to get on the carriage, and the group said goodbye and left.

Only after the carriage had gone far away did Lin An return to the front hall with his family.

"Ayuan, Ayan, we have settled down in Wuzhou. What are your plans for the future?"

Lin An decided to have a good communication with his two sons.

Li and Lin Shuyue were packing the gift boxes brought by the Tang family. Hearing this, they looked at the brothers curiously.

Lin Shuyuan thought about it and shook his head: "Dad, I haven't thought about it yet."

Seeing this, Lin An looked at Lin Shuyan again, only to see him pursed his lips and say, "Dad, I want to go to school." He looked at Lin An with burning eyes.

After hearing yesterday that his mother and sister were bullied, he had this idea in his mind. He wanted to pass the imperial examination, stand out, and support his family.

"If you really have this idea, your parents will definitely support you. I hope you can keep your original intention in mind and don't give up halfway." Lin An looked at him seriously.

Then he continued, "Your uncle Tang is very optimistic about you. He said that if you can pass the examination and become a student, he will recommend you to the White Egret Academy."

Lin Shuyan nodded vigorously: "Dad, I will study hard." After hesitating for a moment, he said seriously: "But I want to rely on my own ability to get into Bailu Academy."

Lin Shuyue gave him a thumbs up: "Second brother, you have great ambitions. I support you!"

Li and Lin Shuyuan also encouraged him.

"Okay, let's pack up and go back. When we get back to the county, let Yuan An help us decide which academy is more suitable for us."

Half an hour later, Qing Wu came back from North Street pulling the lotus seeds. The Lin family had already packed up their things. They locked the gate and drove the carriage out of the city.

-

"Madam, Shunzi just came to report that he saw that family preparing to leave the city." A thin man bowed and reported to the woman at the top.

The woman opened her red lips slightly and said, "I know. You keep an eye on the city gate."

"Yes."

"Da da da..."

On the official road, Lin An sat on the bicycle frame, looking at the silent woods on both sides, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He thought about it, then reached out and knocked gently on the carriage door three times.

In the carriage, Li, Lin Shuyue and their two siblings, who were originally a little drowsy, sat up straight and listened vigilantly to the noise outside.

This was the secret code they had set when they were fleeing from famine. Knocking three times meant danger.
