Chapter 447 Everyone Returns to the Imperial City
"Old man, please say something."

"No, you told me to take it easy?"

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Aunt Wang couldn't help but poke her old man, who reflexively retorted, making Shen Xiangwan, Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying all burst out laughing. In fact, it's not bad for a person to live an ordinary life like theirs.

"Wanwan, I can't make up my mind for the moment. Can you let me think about it?"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Dashan spoke again. Moving the whole family to the imperial city was no small matter, and he also needed to discuss it with his sons.

"Okay, you guys can discuss it, but Uncle Zhao, there are still many things to do in the Imperial City. I have to get back as soon as possible, so you'd better hurry up."

She had not planned to get their reply immediately, but Shen Xiangwan did not refuse. Moreover, she had prepared two plans. If they were still unwilling to go to the imperial city in the end, she would give him all the houses and land in Yong'an Village so that they would have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

"Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow at the latest."

Zhao Dashan is not a man who procrastinates. As long as he has discussed it with his sons, he will reply to her immediately.

"Well, it's alright, I'll go back first."

After saying that, Shen Xiangwan stood up. She didn't plan to go to the county government office before getting their reply. At this time, Cheng Yusheng should be back, and she could just talk to him about the matter of Snowflake Salt and Liuli.

"Are you leaving now?"

Aunt Wang was inevitably a little reluctant, but she knew that she must be very busy, so she changed her tone and said, "Okay, we won't keep you here, Wanwan, I'll go find you with the old man tomorrow."

"it is good."

After agreeing casually, Shen Xiangwan took Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying away from their home. They came by car, and the couple stood at the door and watched the SUV disappear from their sight before turning around. What Shen Xiangwan told them today was too big, and they needed to think about it and wait for their sons to come back before discussing it with them. Regardless of whether they went to the imperial city or not, they were sincerely grateful to Shen Xiangwan, who really cared about them.

When Shen Xiangwan returned home, Cheng Yusheng happened to be there. She talked to him in detail about snowflake salt and colored glaze in the study. After they returned to the imperial city, Cheng Yusheng would first finish the production of snowflake salt and send the people in the workshop to the imperial city. As for colored glaze, they would have to rush to make another batch and get enough military funds for the army before transferring to the imperial city.

While Shen Xiangwan was busy, others were not idle either. Zhou Changqing announced the closure of the papermaking and printing workshops that day, and sent people to notify cooperating bookstores in other regions. Fortunately, they had made preparations and had not signed any contracts with various bookstores in the past six months, so there was no breach of contract. Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan went to the school to quit their jobs as teachers and prepare for their upcoming departure.

The next day, Zhao Dashan and his wife returned to Shen Xiangwan early. They were willing to go to the imperial city with him. Shen Xiangwan asked them to pack up as soon as possible, and she took Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying to the county government office. After explaining some important things to them, she took out the land deeds and house deeds and handed them over to the government office. She had no objection whether they were sold to villagers or left idle. As for the crops planted in the fields, when they were ripe, the government would just send people to harvest them.

When the villagers learned that Zhao Dashan and his family were going to the imperial city with Shen Xiangwan, they all felt jealous. Some people were unwilling to give up and even wanted to establish a relationship with the Wei family. Unfortunately, they were all blocked by the guards. When Shen Xiangwan went back to pick up Zhao Yuping and the others, Wei Chengyi led an army of 100,000 to break through the border city of the Qiang State, successfully turning the invasion into a counterattack. However, he did not stop there, but took advantage of the victory and continued to attack after a short rest. After one victory after another, the morale of the Wei army was unprecedentedly high. In just one month, they conquered the border prefecture of the Qiang State. Wei Chengyi even killed the commander of the Qiang State with his own hands during the battle.

The court of the Qiang State was shaken, and the emperor had to send envoys to the border for negotiations. Otherwise, with Wei Chengyi's momentum, he was really afraid that he would directly attack his imperial city. Moreover, the other borders of the Qiang State were not as peaceful as they seemed on the surface. If Wei Chengyi was allowed to continue, other countries would probably send troops together to swallow up the entire Qiang State.

Not long after Shen Xiangwan brought Zhao Yuping and the others back to the imperial city, they found out that they had gained another provincial capital. When she told Yan Lang and his son and asked them to arrange someone to take over, the two of them almost burst into tears. They hadn't even put their own provincial capital in place yet, so why were they getting another one?
"Cheng Yi!"

A few months later, Wei Chengyi led the army back to the imperial city. The people who had settled down completely lined the streets to welcome him. As the imperial palace was still under renovation, Shen Xiangwan and the others lived in the palace. Wei Chengyi also returned to the palace with Qingying. Shen Xiangwan, who had been waiting outside the door, was the first to greet them, holding his sons who had already learned to walk.

"Dad, Dad..."

Before Wei Chengyi could speak, the two children broke free from Shen Xiangwan's hands and rushed over to hug Wei Chengyi's legs. Although he had been away for several months, he would return to the space whenever he was free at night, and Shen Xiangwan would also take the two children back with him, so the relationship between father and son was not unfamiliar, and was even very close.

"good."

Looking at his wife helplessly, Wei Chengyi squatted down and picked them up one in each hand. Could he say that the person he wanted to hug the most was his child's mother?
"Dad, Dad..."

The two children could not see their father's disgust. They both hugged his neck and kissed him passionately. Their wet saliva covered Wei Chengyi's face, which made Shen Xiangwan, Zhao Yuping and others couldn't help laughing.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan said while trying hard to suppress his smile.

"Yes, yes, let's go inside first. It's cold outside."

Zhao Yuping and others also hurriedly agreed. It was already December and it was indeed very cold outside.

After Shen Xiangwan brought everyone back to the imperial city that day, Yan Lang and his son moved out and currently live in a house very close to the imperial palace. Since the previous house had been sold to someone else, Shen Xiangwan gave them the former prince's mansion, and the generals' families were also given houses respectively. As for Chu Liang, he has moved to his general's mansion, and Liang Yuting followed him. Currently, only they, the guards, and Zhou Changqing's family live at home.

As for Zhao Dashan's family who came with them to the imperial city, Shen Xiangwan sold them a small farm with more than 30 acres of land for a low price of only fifty taels of silver. Although it was small, it was well-equipped and big enough for the family to live in. In addition, she also gave them a shop with a backyard. At present, they have settled down with the help of the guards, and have started selling sausages and bacon again. The business is pretty good. Zhao Dashan's family is very grateful and very satisfied with their current life.
