Chapter 312 The clouds of the past
However, in the face of Mrs. Yang's urgent questioning, Qi Xingyun fell into silence and did not give a clear answer. As time passed, the atmosphere gradually became a little solemn. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Xiao Cao'er couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Could it be that he tacitly agreed to stay in the capital for a long time? For some reason, when she thought of this, an indescribable sense of loss came to her heart, and she felt as if a piece of her heart was suddenly missing, and it was so empty that it made her feel uncomfortable.
Although they didn't see each other every day, they had formed a tacit understanding. Every few days, he would appear in front of her, sometimes to discuss something, sometimes just to visit her when he had nothing to do. If he really decided to stay in the capital, the chances of seeing each other would be greatly reduced, and the companionship they were used to might soon become a thing of the past...
Master Zhishen clasped his hands together, smiled and said to Old Lady Yang, "Donor Yang, have you ever thought about moving to this prosperous and bustling capital to settle down?"
When Old Lady Yang heard Master Zhishen's question, she was stunned for a moment, as if time had frozen at this moment. She stared at Master Zhishen with wide eyes, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She asked in a trembling voice, "Can we... can our family move to the capital?" She looked as if she had suddenly heard something incredible.
Master Zhishen couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He said slowly, "Yes, Mr. Yang, you see that your grandchildren have now established themselves in the capital. Some are officials in the court, some are studying, and some are doing business. They have achieved success! In this case, isn't it natural for you and your family to move to the capital and live together?"
"Really... can our family move to the capital?" Old Mrs. Yang still seemed a little unbelievable and asked again.
Master Zhishen nodded gently and explained patiently: "Of course, Mr. Yang! Think about it, your grandchildren have already settled down in the capital, and they have their own careers and lives here. If you elders can also move here, you can take care of each other, and you can get together and chat about family matters on weekdays, wouldn't it be wonderful?
Besides, the capital is under the emperor's feet after all, and both the resources and living conditions are much better than other places. Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice for you to move your family to the capital."
Old Lady Yang agreed with the master's statement. Her grandchildren were all in the capital, without an elder to look after them. They were still unmarried at this age. If they moved to the capital, she could help them find wives one after another in the next few years. After their marriages were settled, it would be Xiaocao'er's turn. She would definitely not find anyone worthy of her granddaughter in the village. If her grandchildren all married young ladies in the capital, then her good granddaughter could also marry in the capital. Yang was very happy when she got here.
But when he thought about the workshop and fields at home, his excited face was instantly filled with confusion, his brows knitted tightly, and he muttered to himself: "There are so many things waiting for people to take care of at home, how can I do this without someone staying at home to look after it?"
Xiao Cao was also slightly stunned when she heard this, but soon changed her mind and realized that if the whole family could really move to the capital, it would not be a bad thing. After all, except for the second brother, the other three brothers have now established themselves in the capital. Moreover, the distance between the second brother's military camp and the capital and Qingshan Village is not much different. In this way, it is more convenient for the second brother to move the whole family to the capital. Whenever he is on vacation, he can visit the elders at home and get together with his younger brothers.
Thinking carefully about the fields and workshops at home, it seems that they are not completely irreplaceable. The workshop has always had specially hired people to take care of it, and my parents only go to check it out occasionally. As for the work in the fields, most of them have already been rented out to others for cultivation, as long as the other party can pay the rent on time. Thinking of this, Xiao Caoer expressed his approval and support for the family's move to the capital from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Qi Xingyun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Grandma, if you can rest assured and leave the workshop and fields at home to me, I will arrange reliable people to properly handle the relevant matters." When saying this, Qi Xingyun's eyes were firm and his tone was sincere, as if he had already made up his mind.
When Old Lady Yang heard that Qi Xingyun could help deal with it, she quickly said, "Grandma naturally trusts you, but I don't know what Xiaocao'er's parents think."
"It's okay, grandma. You can write a letter to ask for their opinions. Ermao should be returning to the capital to receive his honors and rewards soon. When uncle and aunt come to the capital, they can also see Ermao receiving the honor." Qi Xingyun said.
"Ha, Ermao is going back to Beijing to claim his reward?" Upon hearing this, Old Lady Yang stood up with joy.
