It was gloomy outside and darkened inside the house. The sound of rain was like a lullaby, making people want to sleep.

The rain continued until night. Liu Pan'er woke up and prepared ten bolts of cloth and ten kilograms of spices, which he packed into two boxes, one large and one small. He was going to visit Zhang's house tomorrow.

They slept a lot in the afternoon. After dinner, they couldn't sleep anymore and pestered Liu Pan'er to tell stories.

The next morning, the mother and daughter were in high spirits and put on nice clothes. Liu Pan'er also gave them nice braided hair with dots of pearls on it, which was pretty and pretty.

Liu Pan'er also dressed up exquisitely today and went out with her children.

I happened to meet Mrs. Zheng at the door. Liu Pan'er smiled and nodded, politely, and did not show any boredom before.

It was not shameful for Mrs. Zheng to continue arguing with Liu Paner in Jinling. It was not embarrassing enough, "Mrs. Li, where are you going?"

Liu Pan'er chuckled, "Go visit relatives and friends!"

Mrs. Zheng still wanted to ask, but Liu Pan'er had already led someone into the carriage, and she was not very familiar with them, so there was no need to tell everything.

When Mrs. Zheng saw the carriage leaving, she squinted her eyes and said to the maid beside her: "Let's find out who we are visiting?"

"Yes, ma'am." Cuimei responded.

Mrs. Zheng took her children and generous gifts to the Jinling Marquis Mansion.

Even if she couldn't see her cousin who was thinking about her past, it was unjustifiable for her to pass by Jinling and not visit. Besides, her husband's ability to resume his official position after observing his filial piety had a lot to do with her family, and the Marquis of Jinling also contributed.

Regardless of emotion or reason, you have to come here.

Let us say that Liu Pan'er brought her three children to the Zhang family under the interaction of Huo Chengda and others.

Mr. Zhang learned that Liu Pan'er was coming today, so he waited at home instead of going to the Yamen.

While waiting, Mr. Zhang said to his wife: "Madam, you don't know that it was extremely dangerous at that time. Thousands of soldiers under my leadership accidentally fell into an ambush by the Xili Kingdom. At that time, I wanted to fight and die heroically."

"Just when everyone was bent on death, Brother Li led people to come to the rescue. Working together internally and externally, they not only rescued the siege, but also fought a big battle. That time I was seriously injured and could not march to fight, so my father found a way for me.

Que, work in Jinling."

Although Mrs. Zhang had heard of it before, every time she heard it from her husband, she could imagine the danger at that time. If her husband died, what would she and her three children do?

"Husband, General Li is your benefactor, we will treat Mrs. Li warmly." Mrs. Zhang said softly, "During the Chinese New Year, my mother's family was praising Mrs. De Rui for improving the iron plow. Not only did your majesty reward me, but I became the queen."

My cousin also gave me a reward."

Mrs. Zhang's maiden family comes from a branch of the Zhao family, and although they are of the same clan as the Zhao family where the queen's mother-in-law belongs, they have already been in the fifth server. However, this does not affect Mrs. Zhang's self-identification as the queen's cousin. According to the ranking of the family, it does not

wrong.

Mr. Zhang nodded with approval in his eyes, "What Madam said is that a woman who can be praised by both His Majesty and the Queen is certainly extraordinary. I found out Madam Li's purpose of coming to Jinling to open up trade routes. The spices have been sold to the Yun family.

The price of the spice workshop is quite reasonable. There is also silk. Don’t you own a silk shop? If you take the initiative to mention it then, it will save Mrs. Li the trouble of asking around."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, doing business with Mrs. De Rui can also bring us closer. A smart person like Mrs. De Rui, and also decent in front of His Majesty and the Queen. Come to Beijing in the future and work for us."

Say a few kind words in front of His Majesty and the Queen, and we will benefit a lot."

"As for the price, it's fine as long as we don't lose money." Master Zhang explained that he didn't want his wife to get separated from Mrs. Dre because of money.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, husband, I know what's going on. I will talk to Mrs. Derry."

Just as he was talking, the servants came and said, "Master, madam, Mrs. Derry is here with her children."

Mrs. Zhang chuckled lightly, "Let's go to greet the children together. By the way, I have prepared the greeting gifts for the children. Don't forget to take them out. Miss caught a cold yesterday and had a bit of wind. If she feels better, she will come over. Mrs. Derry will bring

I came here with three children and need her greeting."

"Yes, madam." The maid agreed and went to invite the eldest lady.

As for the two young masters, they went to school to study and are not at home today.

After entering the second door, she saw Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang. Although Liu Pan'er had never met the two of them, she could guess their identities, "Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, you are polite."

Mrs. Zhang quickly returned the gift and said politely: "Mrs. De Rui, it's my turn to salute you."

After all, Liu Pan'er was a fourth-rank official, and she only got the fifth-rank official title because of her husband, a fifth-rank official.

Mr. Zhang also hurriedly bowed and said, "Mrs. De Rui, please come in."

Seeing this, Liu Pan'er chuckled, "Then let's stop doing these false gifts. My husband often praised Mr. Zhang at home before. This time I passed by Jinling and came here to sit down and wait for your husband's letter so that I can tell him."

Mrs. Zhang was also polite, her eyes fell on the three little girls beside Liu Pan'er, and she was quite surprised, "Madam, looking at your age, you are probably only twenty years old, how can you have such a big daughter?"

Liu Paner's face was full of smiles, and her voice was full of joy and pride, "The tallest one is my husband's niece, but for some reasons, it is now recorded in my name. Ah Rong and the youngest Ah Nan are the husband's nieces."

An adopted daughter. After getting along well, we are now so close that we are as close as if we were biological children."

Mr. Zhang looked at Li Rong, and he could vaguely tell something about the little girl's appearance, "Speaking of Ah Rong, I know it too. When we traveled over the mountains and ambush, we were unexpectedly attacked by a group of bandits. So we

So we attacked the bandits' den, and Ah Rong was the one we rescued in that village."

"At that time, my head was injured and there was a lot of blood. It was very serious. Brother Yuan Qing carried him all the way and thought it was impossible. Unexpectedly, the child was lucky enough to survive. The military camp was full of rough guys, so they sent Ah Rong back to his hometown.

, please educate Mrs. Derry. I didn’t expect that a few years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ah Rong has grown so old.”

Li Rong was stunned. She didn't expect that the uncle in front of her had actually saved her before. She stepped forward and saluted Mr. Zhang, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for defeating those bandits and saving me."

Mr. Zhang quickly waved his hand, not daring to take credit, "I don't dare to take credit. It's all brother Yuan Qing who is kind and patient."

Li Rong smiled, her eyes a little disappointed, she couldn't remember what happened before, "My father has a kind heart and sent me back to my hometown. My mother raised me, so is my mother."

Liu Pan'er patted the back of Li Rong's head and stroked it gently, "Since you can't remember the past, don't think about it. You will always be my and your father's child."
