Chapter 288 Good News

When Yang was coming back, Zilan was so happy that Baba and his parents cleaned up the inside and outside of the main courtyard where they lived, changed into new window screens and bedding, and even ironed their clothes, waiting for their mother to return.

When Madam Qi came back to pay her respects, Zilan asked her with a smile, "Madam, how is Li Ling? Is it okay to learn?"

"I studied very well and was willing to work hard. Now I am very good at studying in school. I came to discuss something for you."

Madam Qi spoke with a smile.

"You said, just open your mouth if you need anything. By the way, I bought a small yard with two entrances. On the west street, I left your house. You have been taking care of me for many years. This is what you deserve."

When Madam Qi heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "I thank you for the reward of the girl. I really go together with what I said to me."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Zi Lan raised her eyebrows and asked strangely.

"That's right. Old Nu has always taught Li Ling the rules. She has lost her mother since she was a child. In the past two years, she has gradually kissed me a lot. She wants to recognize me as her godmother and is willing to live with me."

Madam Qi smiled and talked about her own affairs. Li Ling was a miserable child. She had changed her family at a young age. She followed her brother to hide everywhere. She felt very insecure. She was very grateful for her care and wanted to keep this friendship for a long time.

"It doesn't matter to me. Can her brother agree?"

Zi Lan must have no objection.

"She reported to her brother, and his brother agreed immediately. Maybe she thought that Lao Nu was the best candidate to take care of Ling'er. It is inappropriate for a girl to not teach her elders. Lao Nu's identity, age and circumstances are very suitable. Only after he promised Lao Nu would dare to report to you."

"That's great. This is a happy event. What should I do if I recognize my relatives? Do you need my help?"

"It doesn't have to be bothered. You just need to pour tea and kowtow, and you also have to kowtow to the Mo family's parents' rankings to recognize you."

Madam Qi was also full of joy. It was already a great joy for her to be a lonely old woman to be filial to her later years. Her master gave her a house and her life was getting better and better.

"It's great, let's do it. I'll give you a gift, too. Muxiang will take out my box and bring the land deed of the house and the 500-acre land deed of the Baihe Farm in Tongzhou."

Then he turned around and smiled and explained, "There was originally a Baihe River in Tongzhou. The Baihe River is too far away. It is not convenient for you to take care of it. I thought it would be easier to buy a farmhouse for you nearby. Now that I have two brothers and sisters, it is easy to get it. Let Mo Yan help you run. This is what I gave you a gift for marriage, and you finally made it through."

Madam Qi bowed to thank her, "Thank you, Master, I saw that both brothers and sisters have good character. After watching for two years, I made up my mind. Unexpectedly, when I mentioned this, Ling'er was so excited that she cried. We both had the same thoughts. We just wanted to live a few days of stable and down-to-earth life, not seeking wealth and honor. Her brother was also willing to recognize me as her godmother."

"That's great, a good thing."

Madam Qi settled down and finally decided to clean up the house that Zi Lan gave her and moved in for the New Year so that Mo Yan could also live in. He focused on studying the institutions and did not go out easily, so it would be fine. Finally, the brother and sister also had a home.

Mo Yan's mechanism was said to have helped the second grandfather and the others very much, but Zi Lan didn't know what he did and had never asked about it, but Mo Yan was very busy.

Madam Qi asked two little girls to take over for the time being, and then sent them back after she was trained. In one yard, she always wanted a fire-burning girl and a servant who went out to do business.

With the ability of the three of them, they can also be supported, so it doesn't matter.

Yang finally arrived. Zilan took it back in person. She was not sure when she arrived home. She went to the dock every day to wait, but finally she was not disappointed.

"Mom, I miss you so much. You've lost a lot of weight."

Zilan held Yang's arm and snuggled up to act coquettishly.

"I'm fat, how could I lose weight? You're growing taller again. Mom misses you. Your father will be back at the end of the year. I really can't stay anymore, so I discuss with your father and come back early.

Your father misses you too. I bought you a lot of Jiangnan specialties and some interesting things, all of which you like.”

Yang hasn't seen his daughter for a long time, and he misses her very much, and he keeps talking.

"Really, I knew that my mother loved me the most, and has my brother been back?"

"I'm going back and I'm going to enter the exam room next year. How can I not come back? Your father said your brother is not a big problem, so he's mainly keeping him there to learn more about the officialdom."

Her husband taught her son step by step. She was a woman in the inner house and didn't understand anything outside. She never asked about these things, but she was worried that her daughter would be in trouble and whether she was wronged.

"My brother has always worked hard and doesn't have to worry. Mom, you are tired, I'm ready for hot water, you can take a shower and take a break."

Zilan took off his cloak for his mother intimately.

"Okay, I want to wash, I can't bear to use fresh water on the boat."

Yang smiled, and only felt tired when he got home.

"Okay, I'll go and have someone to give you some side dishes to clean up the porridge and side dishes. You can have a sleep first, and wait until you wake up and we have a chat."

"Okay, you go, but Hongmei can serve me."

After arranging my mother to rest, Zilan came out and asked Muxiang to cook some spiritual rice porridge, some side dishes, and some snacks for her mother to take it.

After taking a shower, Yang felt very comfortable after eating a bowl of porridge, so he was so tired that he went to bed first.

After getting up after noon, Zilan had asked someone to send the boxes and cages brought back by his mother into the warehouse in different categories. There were local specialties and gifts for relatives and friends from all families, and the rest was for himself.

There are various jewelry and jade artifacts, some of them are seeds, flowers, plants, trees, fruit trees, and other seeds such as tea trees. Some are books and drawings. They are probably found by my father. In short, there are all kinds of things, but many of them are ingenious things, and she can’t let go of what she likes.

"Mom, why do you buy me so many jewelry? I can't use it."

Zilan entered the room and smiled and spoke, then went to the imperial concubine's couch to snuggle with her mother.

"These are all raw stones. If you like, use them to make gestures. There is also a small box full of Dongzhu. I specially selected the fine products for you to dowry. Jewelry must be replaced every year. The Cui family is not a down-and-out household. You can always use them if you keep them.

I bought you some woodland in Jiangnan and some for your brother. In the future, my descendants will not be afraid of not having good wood. This time your father has made a lot of money in Jiangnan shipping. Your makeup is not enough, so you need to add some more.

If you have more silver bills on makeup, you will have extra money if you want to add enough shops and industries in the future. You won’t be panicked, and nothing else will be fine. Your ability to make money is not worried. Oh, by the way, the marriage between the girl Qi family and your brother is basically decided. Just wait for your father to come back and you can make a decision for the New Year."

"Hey, why didn't my brother wait for the first name to be decided?"

Zilan looked up at her mother and was puzzled.
