Yu Sanlang watched his children leave with a solemn face, then turned and threw himself into his wife’s arms: “Hui Ru, our two children are really amazing.”

Silently drawing strength from his wife, Yu Sanlang sighed with pride and loss.

It’s a good thing that the child is smart, but it makes him seem a bit useless as a father.

Just now, the daughter took out the evidence she “picked up” from her sleeve, and the son contributed a perfect plan to make the evidence appear reasonably.

“No matter how capable the child is, he still has to rely on you to clean up the mess.” Xu touched her husband’s face to comfort him.

“That’s true, but it’s only for now. Next year our son will be able to take care of himself. When he is stable in the future, I will resign and take you, Hongdou and Master Mo to travel around and see this beautiful country.”

Feeling relieved, Yu Sanlang made a heroic promise to his wife.

I originally wanted the father and son to accompany each other and bring honor to the family, but now it seems that I won’t be able to use him in a few years.

“That’s a nice thought, but I’m afraid you won’t be willing to give up this official robe when the time comes.” Xu glanced at her husband in a reproachful manner.

Naturally, she believed what her husband said, but she was reluctant to give it up. It was not because she was reluctant to give up her identity as an official’s wife, but because she was reluctant to give up her ambitious husband.

Yu Sanlang did not make any more excuses. No matter how much he said about things that he had not done, it was all just empty talk. He would just have to wait and see what would happen in the future.

The couple hadn’t seen each other for many days. After expressing their admiration for their “sensible” children, they began to spend time together in a loving way.

Yu Hongdou regretted it as soon as she followed her brother out of her parents’ yard. She forgot to open the evidence and see what was inside!
“Brother~” Yu Hongdou looked at her brother eagerly. Her father and brother had seen it just now, but because the secret was not to be passed on to others, the father and son did not utter a word.

Yu Song turned around and looked at his sister inquiringly.

“…” Yu Hongdou couldn’t ask anymore. She stuttered for a while and finally said, “Be sure to tell me when it’s over~”

Yu Song reacted and tried to hold back, but finally burst out laughing.

Yu Hongdou went to look for the teacher angrily with heavy footsteps. Before she reached the teacher’s yard, she bumped into a servant who came to report from the front hall.

“Miss, there is a group of people at the door, with two carts of things and a few horses, saying they are coming from the northwest.”

Yu Hongdou, who was a little depressed at first, immediately perked up: “We’re here already?”

This period of time was so wonderful that she almost forgot about Tan Langxiu who went to the Northwest alone.

Calculating the time, both Tan Langxiu and the people who came today must have been traveling day and night without stopping to arrive so quickly.

Yu Hongdou was somewhat touched and felt that Tan Langxiu was very kind. She had to think carefully about a return gift.

The people had been led in, and when Yu Hongdou went over, she saw a carriage piled high with boxes, but what caught her eye were the two ponies, one red and one black, hanging behind the carriage.

“Miss, I am here on the orders of my master to deliver some specialties from the northwest, and… these are the people that my master personally selected for you…”

The leader of the team was a guard who had come with Tan Langxiu twice before. He was an acquaintance to Yu Hongdou. He stepped forward, presented the gift list, and called two girls in the team to come forward to introduce themselves.

Yu Hongdou looked closely at the two girls who came forward to pay their respects. They looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with round faces, wheat-colored skin, and fit bodies. They looked very healthy and strong.

“I am Bai Ge and Qing Que, and I am honored to meet you, young lady.” The two maids stepped forward and saluted. “Okay, my side is not like the Ninth Young Master’s, but I promise that I will not treat you two badly. If you have any questions, you two sisters can speak frankly and don’t have to be restrained…”

Yu Hongdou spoke a few words from the heart, the purpose of which was to make it good for you, for me, and for everyone.

The words were polite and the attitude was respectful, but the white dove and the bluebird did not dare to become arrogant.

They had been warned when they came that since they had given it to the young lady in front of them, they would belong to the young lady in life and death. They dared not think about the consequences of betraying their master.

When seeing the people, Yu Hongdou shifted her gaze to the foal, and the leading guard hurriedly introduced it.

“These two foals were born at the beginning of the year. The red one is a mare with a gentle temperament, and the black one is a stallion. He is a little bit jumpy, but has good legs. The owner said that they are suitable for Uncle Yu to ride.”

The Uncle Yu here refers to Yu Song, who sounds like he is ten years older, but it represents status.

Yu Hongdou asked about the names of the two horses, but the guard didn’t mention it. He must have wanted her and her brother to rename them to show their belonging. But Yu Hongdou herself was not good at naming, and she was not willing to change the names.

Small animals are not like humans who can understand words. It is difficult for them to adapt to a name. If you change it, they will have to start adapting again.

The red pony was obviously specially prepared for Yu Hongdou, and its name was also given by Tan Langxiu, called Chi Tu, and the black one was called Mo Feng.

“…” Yu Hongdou was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that Little Red Horse was at a disadvantage by following her.

Yu Song and Yu Sanlang also arrived soon. Although the gifts given to them were just incidental, it would be bad for the host not to show up.

They exchanged greetings, and Yu Hongdou picked up the gift list and took a look at it. The two large carts of gifts contained not only local specialties such as furs and milk bricks, but also many medicinal herbs and spices.

Yu Hongdou looked at them one by one. When she saw the wolfberry, she was stunned for a moment. The four big words “Ningxia wolfberry” quickly flashed through her mind.

Although Yu Hongdou only knew through scientific popularization by friends in Ningxia that Ningxia wolfberry does not refer to all wolfberries in Ningxia, but a variety called “Ningxia wolfberry”, it is undeniable that Ningxia is indeed a very suitable place for growing wolfberries.

Yu Hongdou added wolfberry cultivation to the list of return gifts. The specific method of cultivation still needs to be studied, but she has thought about how to further develop Yangmao.

In addition to warm wool felt, sweaters must be put on the agenda. If sweaters can really be popularized, it will be a great deed in today’s world where cotton is scarce.

We had just put away our things when our second brother arrived late.

Xiang Shaoyue whistled when he saw the two ponies, and circled around them twice. He looked at Yu Hongdou with a playful look and a meaningful tone: “When you give a gift to someone, you must ask for something. Junior Sister, you have to be more careful~”

“It’s okay. The teacher said that I won’t suffer any harm with my senior brother here. Senior brother, you won’t ignore me, right~” Yu Hongdou bared her teeth at the second senior brother who had bad intentions.

This second brother didn’t mean any harm, but he was really a bad boy. The tone of his voice made me want to beat him up.

Xiang Shaoyue was not angry after being confronted. He wanted to say something else, but when he saw his junior sister’s gap in teeth, he swallowed his words back.

Not only is this person the Master’s favorite, but he is also a child. Even if he is unruly, he shouldn’t make fun of him with nonsense.

Xiang Shaoyue, who was a little annoyed, stopped smiling and said to Yu Hongdou in a serious tone: “Brother, I don’t mean anything else. I just think these things are nothing. I have something better for you~”

Yu Hongdou didn’t care what Xiang Shaoyue said at all. Just when she was about to say that she didn’t need it, her eyes were attracted by what he took out. (End of this chapter)
