This matter was settled just like that.
The emperor had the Eunuch Lee escort Lei Tia's family back to the capital. It was obvious that they were worried Lei Tia would leave his family in the Qingshan Village. Thinking about this, Qin Mian and Lei Tia could not delay any further, and called for the people in charge of the workshops and the shops to come to their homes.
Since their home was Qin Mian and Lei Tia's headquarters, the two of them had no intention to give up. The cake shop, the restaurant and the Shuangzhuan Restaurant were still under the responsibility of the present person in charge. In order to encourage the three people in charge to work more diligently, after discussing it with Lei Tia, Qin Mian decided to give them 10% of the profits from the shops they were in charge of.
Leisurely Dwelling House and the Kirin Mountain Villa were handed over to Uncle Feng, who would be the housekeeper of his hometown from now on. Lei Dahe was in charge of the wine workshop, Lei Dashan was in charge of the powder workshop, and Lei Dashan was in charge of the putrefaction workshop. Uncle's monthly money was raised to five taels, while the monthly money of Lei Da He, Lei Da Shan and Lei Da was raised to one tael. As for the other servants, the monthly money of third rate servants was increased by 50 gold coins, second rate servants' monthly money by 100 gold coins, and first rate servants' monthly money by 150 gold coins.
Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, Lei Qinle, Lei Qinle and the rest of the nine families all wanted to bring these people, Qin Mian and Lei Tia, to the capital. After all, if they were to go to the capital, they would need trusted aides. The rest of the servants all stayed in the Qingshan Village.
After spending a full five days, Qin Mian and Lei Tia had settled all the matters at home.
When they were about to leave, the family was reluctant to part. and Lei Tia had created the Leisurely Dwelling House by themselves, and their footprints were all over every place, filled with their memories. Yuan Yuan and Man were also a little reluctant. Their home in the capital definitely wouldn't be like the one in Qingshan Village, full of fruit trees, flowers and even more so, a unique playground.
The family of four walked around once through the Leisurely Dwelling House, Lei Tia entrusted Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee and Precinct Head to take care of their family, and the family of four got onto a carriage, and went on their way to the capital. Because they brought a lot of specialties, there were seven carriages in total. Almost the entire village came out to send them off. They watched as the horse carriage followed the village road up the mountain and then over the hillside, disappearing without a trace.
Golden Hair and a little white would never like and get used to the life in the capital. Qin Mian, Yuan Yuan and the others could only bear with the pain and leave them behind.
The white and golden hair seemed to understand that they would be separated from their four masters for a long time. Their expressions were gloomy as they sent them to the town, where they were driven back by Qin Mian.
Yuan Yuan started to cry with a sound that was filled with "Wow". She was almost unable to breathe, tears started to roll down her face.
"Blondy?C a little white?C"
Qin Mian and Lei Tia were unable to coax his at all after a long time, and the two little fellows continued to cry until they were tired and fell asleep.
On the second day after they set off, Lei Xiangzhi went to the carriage and introduced the situation in the capital, especially the powers in the government. Just that, Lei Xiangzhi was currently only at the sixth stage and did not have the qualifications to be from the previous dynasty, he only had a rough idea.
On the day before they entered the capital, Eunuch Lee spurred his horse to the side of the carriage to chat with Qin Mian and Lei Tia. Only then did Qin Mian and Qin Mian have a rough understanding of the matters of the imperial court.
After entering the capital, there were a lot of fresh things. Yuan Yuan and the others temporarily suppressed their yearning towards the white and golden hair at the bottom of their hearts.
Eunuch Lee came to the side of the carriage, "National Duke, National Duke's Mansion is on Chong En Street in front. All the people living on this street are first-rate nobles, and they are not far from the Imperial Palace. This humble servant shall send all of you back to your residence to wash up, then enter the palace."
"Thank you, Eunuch Lee." Lei Tia nodded to him.
"National Duke is too polite."
Chong'en Street was clean and spacious, and could hold four or five carriages side by side. The carriage stopped after a few minutes.
Lei Tia got off the car first and carried Yuan Yuan down while Qin Mian got off last.
Astonishingly, on top of the Zhu Clan gate, there was a signboard that said "National Duke's Mansion". The door was opened, and a man with a short moustache ran out, with a smile on his face, and bowed towards Lei Tia and Lei Tia.
"Servant Chen Fu, who was sent by Duke Mu to take care of National Duke's Mansion, greets National Duke and Madam National Duke."
Qin Mian's expression did not change. Having been called "Wife" and "Sister-in-law" for many years, calling her "Madam" was not a big deal.
"Exempt." Princess Mu is? " Qin Mian thought of Mu Chen. The royal family's surname was Chen. If Duke Mu was really Mu Chen, then Mu Chen's real name was probably Chen Mufeng.
As expected, Chen Fu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Reporting to Madam National Duke, our Duke's name is Chen Mufeng. He said that he will invite you two to di er and apologize after Madam National Duke and Madam National Duke have settled down."
"Duke Mu is kind." Lei Tia said, "On another day, my wife and I will visit him."
"Yes, your servant will inform the duke."
Eunuch Lee was still waiting, but they did not say much. Chen Fu led a few people through the door.
There were many servants in the courtyard, all of whom had come from who knows where. Some were sweeping the ground, some were building flowers, and some were watering them??
Chen Fu led them to the clean room and left.
The family of four showered and changed into clean clothes.
Lei Tia had already returned to his official position, his official uniform was the uniform of the Great General, he was dressed in it, the black of his military uniform made him seem even more imposing, majestic and imposing.
Qin Mian wore a black shirt with a light blue belt around his waist. On the outside, he wore a horse armor of the same color, on the bottom, he wore black training pants, and camel boots.
The two of them sized each other up, unconsciously looking at each other in a daze.
Yuan Yuan, with his full hair reaching his shoulders, had a ponytail on his head. He was wearing a light purple robe, with a delicate small purse tied to his belt on the left side and a white jade on the right side. He looked like a pair of elegant golden children. The two of them looked at Lei Tia with eyes filled with admiration.
Eunuch Lee coughed lightly as the four of them regained their senses. The Eunuch Lee gave them the basic etiquette of a saint. What he did not know was that Lei Tia had already taught Qin Mian, Yuan Yuan and Man at home. Don't look at how Lei Tia was usually quiet, but he was still attentive and used his method to protect those he cared about.
The four of them got into the carriage. The carriage smoothly headed towards the Imperial Palace, stopping at the Imperial Palace's main entrance, the South Gate.
The south door had a total of three entrances, one entrance, and two doors. The four of them got off the horse carriage and followed the Eunuch Lee through the east entrance. They walked along the corridor for a long time before they stopped in front of the Emperor's Palace.
Eunuch Lee laughed: "National Duke, Madam National Duke, after walking for so long, the two young gongzi must be tired. You can go rest there for a while, I'll inform the emperor first."
Qin Mian and Lei Tia knew very well that the Eunuch Lee would definitely report what had happened to the Emperor.
"Please do, Eunuch Lee."
Lei Tia had given them a whole set of clothes. Originally, he was worried that the two would be scared of him, but he saw the two of them standing straight with bright and clear eyes. They looked extremely curious and fearless, as expected of his and Lei Tia's sons.
Lei Tia held Qin Mian's hand, and looked at him with deep concern.
Qin Mian smiled in return, indicating that he was fine.
Eunuch Lee walked carefully into the hall.
Emperor Xiao Hui was seated behind the imperial writing desk, reviewing the memorials.
"This servant pays his respects to the Emperor."
Emperor Xiao Hui glanced at him, then quickly wrote a few words before placing the imperial pen down. He then placed the memorial onto the right side of the stack.
"He came back pretty fast. Rise."
"Thank you, your majesty."
Emperor Xiao Hui asked: "How is National Duke?"
Eunuch Lee told everything that happened from the moment they met Lei Tia.
The Emperor Xiao Hui asked with interest, "Qingshan Village, Leisurely Dwelling House, and the Qilin Mountain Villa, are they really like fairyland on earth? "Doesn't this mean that it's better than my palace?"
These last words could be said to be heartbreaking, but Eunuch Lee did not panic. He had followed beside Emperor Xiao Hui for many years, and he knew very well when he should lie and when he should speak the truth.
"It ca ot be compared with the Emperor's Imperial Palace. But it's better than natural, novel, bending down three steps to pick flowers, raising five steps to pick fruits, and adding the large amount of lush green wheat fields, it is truly a unique experience."
As expected, Emperor Xiao Hui was not angered. He nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Hearing this servant of yours say it, I even have the heart to personally take a look."
Eunuch Lee smiled and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Sir Lei has not been home for three years. On the way, I heard him mention that he made a 'Peach Blossom Map', and it's already half completed."
Emperor Xiao Hui nodded in satisfaction, "Bring it up after he's finished drawing."
"Yes."
Emperor Xiao Hui continued, "A ounce them to come in. We would like to see what kind of person can subdue our Great General."
The palace was deep and serene, the orders from the emperor were passed out one by one until an attendant standing at the entrance of the Ming and Qing Palace sang, "National Duke Xuan and his family are here to see you??"
Lei Tia and Qin Mian walked into the hall with Yuan Yuan around them. Their gazes were downcast as they walked forward at a leisurely pace.
Seated on the Dragon Throne, Emperor Xiao Hui looked at the four of them as they approached. He first sized Lei Tia up, then swept his gaze across the scars on his face. Following that, his gaze landed on the young man beside Lei Tia, and his sharp eyes flickered with light, as if he had thought of something. However, Qin Mian, a normal man from the countryside, was not affected by the aura at all. Furthermore, his clothes seemed to resonate with Lei Tia's, and from a high vantage point, the two of them looked harmonious and tacit. It could be seen that this young man was not simple either, no wonder he was able to enter the eyes of this cold and emotionless Great General.
Emperor Xiao Hui's gaze shifted to the two little fellows again as he carefully examined their facial features. He accidentally met two pairs of big eyes that were filled with curiosity, and smiled faintly.
Qin Mian's family were about five or six steps away from the stairs when they stopped and knelt together.
"This humble subject/subject pays his respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live and long live the Emperor."
"Rise."
"Thank you, your majesty."
The Emperor Xiao Hui said: "Li Fushu, give National Duke and his family a seat."
"Yes."
Since he was already here, he might as well settle for now. Qin Mian and Lei Tia sat down safely in the armchair that the waiter had brought over. They gave Yuan Yuan and the full number of two brocades. Seeing their father sitting down, the two of them also calmly sat down.
A smile flashed past Emperor Xiao Hui's eyes as he looked at Lei Tia.
"How have you been in National Duke? Just sit and answer."
Lei Tia cupped his fists: "I have been living in the wild for a long time, and am at ease. I wonder how the emperor is doing? "
Emperor Xiao Hui was pleased with his second sentence and did not try to guess the reason behind the previous sentence. Instead, he revealed a guilty look, "Your face?? I will ask the Grand Hospital to prescribe some good medicine for you."
Lei Tia said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, this humble subject would like to keep this scar."
"Oh?" Emperor Xiao Hui smiled slightly, it was a profound mystery, "Why is that so?"
Lei Tia said indifferently: "This scar can block a lot of trouble."
Emperor Xiao Hui looked at him meaningfully, then looked at Qin Mian.
"I heard that Young Master Qin is an expert in medicine. That year, National Duke's younger brother accidentally got infected by Young Master Qin."
"Young Master Qin?" A haze appeared in Lei Tia's eyes.
