"Yes." Li Can nodded, looking at her with clear eyes, with a little admiration: "Grandma, is that okay?"
"Yes, why not?" Madam Li felt sad and distressed: "It's just that the journey to Yangzhou is long, and the journey is unavoidable.
Grandma is worried about your safety as well."
"As long as my brother is here, I still have a candy ball." Li Can smiled and said: "By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince gave me a few people a few days ago, and they are all very good at martial arts.
Grandma doesn’t have to worry.”
"That's fine, you can just go out for a walk." Mrs. Li said with some emotion: "Give it to your grandfather and grandma for me to take care of.
What happened back then was that our family couldn't deal with their family."
"It's been so many years, don't say that, grandma, it's not your fault." Li Can held her hand and comforted her.
"I was also at fault. It was me who failed to take care of your father's rebellious son." Mrs. Li sighed.
"Let's not talk about this." Li Can said with a smile: "Grandma, tell me what you want, and I will bring it back to you when I come back from Yangzhou."
After my uncle's school was confiscated, my grandmother fell ill. Although she recovered, her vitality was damaged and her body was never as healthy as before.
She didn't want to upset her grandmother by mentioning those things.
"Grandma doesn't want anything." Mrs. Li told her and laughed, then thought about it and said, "By the way, ask your aunt to prepare your luggage starting tomorrow."
"I'll do it myself." Li Can said, "Auntie is going to the temple to offer incense tomorrow.
By the way, Candy, please ask someone to tell my eldest aunt that I am preparing to go to Yangzhou and will not accompany her to the temple tomorrow."
"Yes." Candy responded.

After the morning court, Zhao Ji left the palace.
Wuhuang was holding the horse and waiting at the palace gate. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly handed over the reins: "Your Highness."
Zhao Ji took the reins and was about to get on the horse, but Wu Zai ran out from the palace gate: "Your Highness, Your Highness!"
His Highness walked too fast. He only exchanged a few words with Concubine Chen's people and almost couldn't catch up with him as he trotted out.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhi glanced sideways.
Wu Zao stepped forward and calmed his breathing: "Concubine Chen just sent a message, saying that the girl is going to Yangzhou to relax with her brother."
Zhao Xie looked slightly stern: "When did it happen?"
"It was decided yesterday, and the girl sent a letter to the empress," Wu Zai replied.
Zhao Zhen frowned, paused for a moment and asked: "Did you tell me when you will leave?"
"I asked specifically." Wu Zai lowered his head and said, "Ten days later."
After Zhao Ye heard this, he got on the horse without saying a word, but did not raise his whip.
Wuhuang hurriedly led the horse forward: "Your Highness, are you going back to the East Palace?"
"Yeah." Zhao Zhen responded.
After walking slowly all the way to the East Palace and entering the inner hall, Zhao Zong ordered: "Call Feng Qing."
Wuhuang hurriedly ran out.
"Grind the ink." Zhao Zhi entered the study and sat down in front of the desk.
Don't be lazy, don't dare to be lazy, go forward and polish the ink.
Zhao Ji spread out the letter paper, lowered his eyes, and wrote quickly.
The letter was written and Fengqing came.
"Your Highness." He saluted.
"Yes." Zhao Zhi never raised his head, raised the letter paper, and gently dried the ink on it.
Seeing this, Wu Zai hurriedly took out the envelope, placed his hands in front of Zhao Zhi, and took out the fire paint wax.
Zhao Ye folded the letter paper and put it into the envelope.
Wu Zai sealed the mouth with wax, Zhao Ji took the seal, stamped it, and handed it to Feng Qing: "Hurry up and send it to your uncle."
Zhao Gong's uncle Meng Junde was personally transferred to Shenzhou by Emperor Qianyuan and served as the manager of Shenzhou. He was on an equal footing with the magistrate of Shenzhou and was in charge of all matters of Shenzhou. He had been in charge of all matters in Shenzhou for more than three years. All his family and relatives settled in Shenzhou with him.
Shenzhou borders Yangzhou to the west, and the land south of the Yangtze River is rich. Shenzhou is several times more prosperous than Yangzhou.
In such a place, corrupt officials are more likely to appear, and officials protect each other, but there are shadows of court officials behind them.
Emperor Qianyuan was very displeased with Jiangnan officials forming a faction of their own, so Meng Junde secretly received the emperor's order and went to investigate the officialdom of Shenzhou.
"Yes." Feng Qing accepted the letter and hurried away.

The next day in the evening.
Li Can followed Li Jin to the market to buy things and came back when he met his elder brother Li Zhuo riding back.
"Brother, how did you do it like this?" Li Can was surprised when he saw that Li Zhuo's clothes were torn and there was a black spot on his face: "Where is auntie?"
Li Jin also stepped forward with concern.
"Don't worry, little sister, mother's carriage is behind and will be here soon." Li Zhuo jumped off the horse and said, "On the way down the mountain, I met a few bad guys who said some inappropriate things to a girl's carriage. I stepped forward to stop them.
, and they took action.”
"Brother, are you okay?" Li Jin couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter." Li Zhuo rubbed the bruises on his face: "Fortunately, I brought a few people with me and captured them all and sent them to Jing Zhaoyin."
"My eldest brother is invincible." Li Can smiled, then remembered and asked, "Didn't the second brother follow?"
The second brother is not as restrained as the eldest brother. If something like this happens, he will probably run faster than the eldest brother and tell them.
"My second brother had something to do in the camp today, so I was the only one who accompanied my mother to the temple." Li Zhuo explained with a smile.
The three of them talked for a while, and then Lin's carriage came back.
Mrs. Lin asked carefully about Li Zhuo's injury and saw that he was indeed fine, so she felt relieved.
I thought about it and let it go. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, before Li Can woke up, news came from the front.
"Girl, girl!"
Candy picked out the bed curtain and called her cheerfully.
"What's the matter?" Li Can asked in a daze.
She knew something must be wrong, otherwise the candy would not have woken her up.
"A matchmaker has come to the door to help the eldest young master." Candy said happily: "The eldest lady has sent someone to invite the girl.
The old princess of Ningyang Palace came to visit in person."
"Prince Ningyang's Mansion?" Li Can sat up, rubbed his eyes, and then said after waking up, "Why did Prince Ningyang's Mansion suddenly come to propose marriage to my eldest brother?"
"My slave, it sounds like the young master helped this girl yesterday." Candy thought about it.
Li Can realized that it turned out that the girl that his eldest brother saved yesterday was a girl from Prince Ningyang's palace.
She didn't feel sleepy at all and immediately got out of bed: "Get dressed for me.
Do you know which girl you are talking about?"
She remembered that there should be two girls about her age in Prince Ningyang's palace.
"It's a big girl." Candy greeted the person in and replied.
Li Can blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded, this family member can do it.
The old princess of Ningyang has two sons.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law are gone, leaving only one daughter, the "eldest girl" as Candy calls her.
Zhang Chonggui, the second son of Prince Ningyang, served as Prime Minister in the court.
Zhang Chonggui was an honest and upright person, and never formed any clique for personal gain. After he came to power, he had little contact with officials from the central and central courts, and the entire Ningyang palace rarely interacted with outsiders.
Emperor Qianyuan always had great trust in Zhang Chonggui.
Li Can thought about it, the eldest girl of the Zhang family has no father or mother, her uncles and aunts treat her as if they were their own child, and as Princess Ningyang grows up, her character and behavior should be the same.
Although Zhang Chonggui was in charge, she was not his biological daughter, and Emperor Qianyuan would not be so wary.
As a quasi-princess, it is not easy for her brothers to carefully consider their marriages.
After she was carefully dressed and neatly arranged, she hurriedly drank a glass of milk and then went forward.
Princess Ningyang and Mrs. Li are similar in age. They are sitting together talking, with Ms. Lin accompanying them with a smile.
Along with Princess Ningyang, there was also a matchmaker, Li Can's old acquaintance - Matchmaker Feng.
"Ouch!" As soon as she saw Li Can, she greeted him with a look of affection: "Brother Seven is here."
Li Can smiled when he saw her, and greeted Princess Ningyang and others, and also greeted her: "Feng Qianniang."
Matchmaker Feng was flattered: "No, seventh brother, don't call me that. You are a phoenix in the sky. How can a mortal afford to call you 'godmother'?"
Strangely, I said several times before that coal was not available, but Brother Qi is actually a very wealthy man."
Seeing that her words were interesting, Li Can asked her to make her laugh: "Feng Qianniang can lift me to heaven."
Matchmaker Feng relies on words to make a living. From Li Can to Li Zhuo, we get to the point.
Li Can sat next to Mrs. Lin for a moment and then learned that Princess Ningyang came to visit today. Firstly, she wanted to thank Li Zhuo for rescuing her granddaughter Zhang Shuhua yesterday, and secondly, she invited a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.
Although Princess Ningyang is old, she has a straightforward temper: "To be honest, those people who are entangled are brought by my eldest granddaughter's cousin.
He is uneducated and unskilled, but he is greedy and wants to get into my family. Hua'er has had no father or mother since she was a child, so she has a hard life.
