Chapter 255 Discussion and decision
In the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone was in the Glazed Pavilion. Now only the Left Prime Minister's family and Uncle Yan and his family were there.
Looking at the appearance of the old couple of the He family, Zuo Xiang couldn't bear it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go back to Xiaotian Village and take Ning Bao with us."
"She has been lying in the Glazed Pavilion for many years. She must be very tired. Why not take her out for a walk?"
"She must have been happy in Oda Village at that time."
Old Man He straightened his back, looked at him and said, "Have you thought about it? This time you might have to stay for a long time, do you have time to stay?"
He nodded and said, "Yes, I will give the eldest brother and his wife to my family, and I will go back to the village with Yan'er, and we can live there in our old age."
"Going up the mountain to hunt, going into the water to catch fish, life will be so comfortable." Zuo Xiang had a look of anticipation on his face and was obviously not opposed to returning to the village.
"What about the kid from the Xi family? After so many years..." Just as Mrs. He started to speak, she heard footsteps coming.
Xi Zhiyi was dressed in a light green robe, with a mask on his left side, a jade crown on his hair, and he was very tall and looked very strong.
But the aura all over his body was a little gloomy, which made people feel a little scary.
"Let's go back. You can follow me too. I've missed you after not being home for many years. It's a good time to take a rest."
"I don't know what the village has become now. When Sister Ning'er left, she asked the village to open a farmhouse. It should be great to have the sacred mountain there."
He saluted politely and respectfully, and his words were familiar, which was only the case when he was around his family.
"Zhiyi is back. What a coincidence. No need for anyone to deliver the message anymore."
"If you leave Beijing, what will happen to your parents back home? You should spend more time with them." Mrs. He persuaded in a gentle voice.
"Let's go together. It's so boring for the two of them to stay in the capital all day. I'm sure they will be very happy if they go out to see the mountains and rivers."
Xi Zhiyi said without hesitation, already thinking about what to bring. The manor he had people build in Xiaotian Village many years ago was also very large and had been vacant for many years.
Seeing that no one objected, he sent someone to deliver the message to the palace, especially to the retired emperor, who had to be informed before he left the capital.
After Mr. He and his wife came back, they were told to pack their clothes and set off for Changle Town three days later.
They didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly. They didn't care about being happy and started thinking about bringing some things back for their people back home.
At the same time, the retired emperor, who was enjoying his retirement in the palace, saw the news sent from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion and sat up from his rocking chair in an instant.
She said to the eunuch who was also quite old: "Old thing, pack up your things and I will take you out of the palace to live out your old age."
"Don't think of abandoning me and sneaking away, these old thieves in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, hum~!"
The eunuch smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will pack your things and take all your favorite things with me. We will live in Xiaotian Village for ten or eight years."
"Hahahaha... OK, OK, you're just smart."
During these three days, all the major shops in the capital were extremely busy, as people from the Zuo Xiang Mansion and the Xi Mansion came out to buy things. From food, clothing, and daily necessities to some small gadgets, almost everything was bought by the two families.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted everyone's attention. Some smart people made a little inquiry and found out that the Grand Princess Protector of the Country wanted to return to her fiefdom.
It is Nanxu’s sacred mountain today, and it is also the princess’ second hometown.
The nine sons of the Xia family all looked at their parents with resentment. The eldest son, Xia, is now in the court and has been favored by the new emperor. He has taken over his father's position and is the left prime minister.
She said pitifully, "It would be better if Dad could be an official in the court, and I and my sister could go back to Xiaotian Village. The scenery there is very beautiful, and it would be comfortable even if we do nothing."
There were also several younger generations in the family, all boys, who hugged Xia Yunle's thighs and said, "Grandfather, please take your favorite grandson with you, otherwise he will be so lonely on the road."
Although the daughter-in-law wanted to go, she also knew that there were many things to take care of in such a large Zuo Xiang Mansion. Even the complicated banquets required someone to show up.
He could only feel it was a pity in his heart, but he did not stop his own little boys. He wished that they could get close to his little aunt who had not woken up yet.
Until now, they still remember that scene where the little baby used his own body to save the soldiers at the border and defend the border.
Anyone who can marry into the Xia family as a daughter-in-law respects her sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
Xia Yunle raised his eyebrows slightly and found it funny, and said it without any mercy.
"Who said you are Grandfather's favorite grandson? Grandfather obviously loves your aunt the most. Don't compete for his favor."
"No one can get past my Ning Bao, hum~!"
"╭(╯^╰)╮"
The bad boys kept begging for mercy, and the good words jumped out as if they were free.
"Yes, Grandfather is right."
"Young aunts are the ones that grandparents love the most. The older grandchildren can sit in the back."
"Just take us with you, and make sure we don't act naughty on the way~!"
“┗|｀O′|┛ Ouch~~”
Yan'er still loves these younger generations very much. Considering the long journey and their young age, she is worried that they will suffer on the road.
Then he said gently, "Have you finished your homework? What will you do with your studies if you leave the capital? Be careful not to fall behind your classmates. You won't have anywhere to cry then."
I saw a few little kids looking at each other, then running out and pulling a few people in.
With a proud expression, he said loudly, "Take the teachers at home with you, so that you can do your homework on the way and make sure you don't fall behind."
The teachers didn't expect the young master to do such a thing and couldn't help blushing.
He still bowed and said, "We all admire the Princess Protector of the Nation very much, and we also want to go and see what the sacred mountain looks like."
"If the master and his wife can take you with them, we will be very grateful."
Xia Yunle and his wife smiled at each other, then nodded and said, "If it's not too far for you, let's go together. Go back and pack your things early."
"The return date for this trip is uncertain."
The cheers of the little kids suddenly rang out in the house and spread far away.
Not only the servants in the mansion were envious, but even their parents were, wishing they could go in their place.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, before daybreak, dozens of carriages were parked in front of the gate of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, which was a spectacular sight to behold.
These were just the things in their mansion. Dozens of carriages came from other streets one after another, carrying Xi Zhiyi and his parents.
The carriage in the middle was large and exquisite, and was pulled by eight horses.
There was a peach blossom hanging outside the carriage with the words "Protect the Country" written on it. The only person who could use these two words in Nanxu was the Princess Protector of the Country.
Whenever you encounter this carriage on the road, you must automatically give way.
