The two of them were sitting on the horse carriages and they drove the carriages toward Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up with joy as she went up to receive them.
Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu quickly jumped off the horse carriages and walked towards Qin Xiaoyao.
“Younger Sis, I finally get to see you!” Qin Dahu took the lead to step forward and held Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
“Big Brother! Father! You guys have had a difficult journey,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
She looked at the two carriages and saw Madam Liu and the others sticking their heads out. She smiled even more joyously.
Then, she asked, “Second Brother and the others didn’t come?”
“No.
“Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are both taking care of the children. We need a man at home to look after them.
“Also, your second brother asked Xiaomei to stay behind to help. He said that this would make him feel more at ease.”
Qin Xiaoyao suddenly noticed something.
She realized that Wang Xiaomei was indeed absent from Madam Liu’s side.
“We sent the in-laws over this time. After confirming that you’re fine, we’ll go back,” Qin Dazhuang interjected.
He never dreamed that his daughter would accomplish so many great things after leaving Mountain Spring Town.
Now, she had even been conferred a title of nobility and high military rank, becoming a marquis and general.
He did not expect this at all. The sons of the Qin family did not achieve anything great, but his daughter made the Qin family proud. Moreover, it was an achievement that made everyone extremely proud!
“Why are you still going back?
“Your daughter is now a Marquis. I have tens of thousands of soldiers under me.
“In the past, our family didn’t have that kind of opportunity and couldn’t take the path of an official’s career.
“Now, if Eldest Brother and Second Brother are willing, they can join the army and work with me.
“In the future, when Xiao Hu and Second Sister-in-law’s son, Datou, grow up, they can also join the army. Our Qin family can take the opportunity to move up in society.”
She was now the equivalent of a first-generation war general. As long as she managed it well, her descendants could become second-generation war generals. They could completely change the fate of their family.
This was also what she had planned.
“Er…” Qin Dazhuang was quite tempted when he heard that.
Qin Dahu also looked at his father. His expression was even more excited than Qin Dazhuang’s.
“Can your big brother and second brother really enlist?” Qin Dazhuang quickly asked.
“Of course,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
In the past, she had stopped her big brother and second brother from serving in the army because of the chaotic situation at that time. If they went to the border, they would only become cannon fodder.
However, the situation was completely different now. With her watching over them, the probability of anything happening to Big Brother and Second Brother was very small.
Moreover, with her around, their advancement speed would also be very fast.
“Younger Sis…” Qin Dahu finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and called out to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled.
“Alright. Let’s not talk about this matter for the time being.
“You guys have had a rough journey. Let’s return to the Marquis’s residence first. We’ll talk about the rest later,” Qin Xiaoyao said when she saw Madam Liu getting off the horse carriage.
“Mm-hmm,” the father and son answered.
Qin Xiaoyao then walked towards Madam Liu.
“Mother!” she shouted.
“Sister-in-law!” At the same time, Song Ye and Song Yun shouted out to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded and stepped up to support Madam Liu.
“Mother, I’ll bring you into the city first. Let’s go back to the residence and rest for a while.”
Madam Liu swallowed the words she wanted to say and instead replied, “Alright!”
After taking a look at the city gate tower from afar, they returned to the horse carriage.
Then, Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu also returned to the horse carriages.
They drove the carriages and followed Qin Xiaoyao and Princess Xiangyang to the city gate.
They didn’t line up but moved along the official road.
Qin Xiaoyao only had to show her identity plaque and the soldiers bowed and allowed her through.
After entering the city, the horse carriages continued forward.
In the carriage, Song Ye and Song Yun lifted the carriage curtain and admired the prosperity of the capital city.
They were so excited as they watched and pointed.
The capital city was truly amazing. It was not something that Mountain Spring Town could compare to. It was not just Mountain Spring Town. Even Zhao County was like the countryside compared to the capital.
Madam Liu also saw the situation outside through the gap in the curtain.
However, her expression was not as excited as the two children’s. Instead, her expression seemed a little conflicted.
The horse carriage traveled a few streets before finally arriving at the Marquis’s residence.
The caretaker was already waiting with the servants.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyao arrived, the caretaker ordered the servants to come forward and help carry the luggage.
Qin Xiaoyao personally helped Madam Liu out of the horse carriage and then led everyone into the compound.
Qin Dazhuang and his son, Song Ye and Song Yun were all astounded by the Marquis’s residence’s grandeur.
It was only at this moment that they genuinely believed that Qin Xiaoyao had truly become the Marquis.
Qin Xiaoyao quickly called the caretaker over and asked him to assign Madam Liu and the others their respective courtyard lodging and to bring them there to rest.
“Mother, you guys have had a rough journey. Go with the caretaker to take a rest first. We’ll talk in detail during lunch.” Qin Xiaoyao looked at Madam Liu.
“Alright. You go ahead with your own work then,” Madam Liu replied. She did look somewhat tired.
Her body had always been in poor condition, and after traveling for such a long time, she was indeed a little overwhelmed.
When she saw this, Qin Xiaoyao instructed the caretaker to call for a doctor.
Qin Xiaoyao only heaved a sigh of relief when the caretaker and servants led Madam Liu and the rest away.
Xiangyang, who hadn’t been able to get a word in all this while, quickly came over.
“Master, there are so many people in the residence. Should we get some more servants?
“Why don’t we take the time to go to the brokerage?” Her master’s family members were all travel-worn, and she did not want to delay their rest by going up to greet them just now.
After this, it would be good if she could do something for them. She would just take it as showing filial piety for Master.
Qin Xiaoyao thought for a moment.
When she saw Xiangyang’s eager face, she nodded.
“I’ll leave this matter to you then. Just go to Wangjiao Street to look for Mr. Lu and ask him to help choose a few capable ones to be placed in the various courtyards. Help me pay for it first. I’ll pay you when you come back,” she said without hesitation.
“Ahem! Master, aren’t you treating me as an outsider? Your disciple is more well-off than you.
“It’s just a few servants. Take it as my welcome gift to the elders!” Xiangyang said as she patted her chest.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled in amusement.
“Alright then. Go and come back quickly. Don’t be late for lunch.”
“Alright!” Xiangyang replied.
She quickly scampered away.
Qin Xiaoyao shook her head as she watched the young girl leave happily. She returned to her courtyard.
She had applied for leave from the army camp today, but there were still some official documents that needed to be approved.
At this juncture, the official documents should have been delivered.
When she returned to her courtyard and entered the study, the official documents had indeed arrived.
After Qin Xiaoyao sat down, she started reading.
Then, she quickly gave instructions and completed the work.
After running through the documents, she ordered her in-house messenger to send them back to the army camp.
At this point, the time was almost noon.
Qin Xiaoyao then left the courtyard and went to the courtyard where Madam Liu and the rest were staying.
Just as she walked to the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao overheard Song Yun and Song Ye’s voices.
The two little ones were talking to Madam Liu in the courtyard. The content of their discussion was about Qin Xiaoyao.
They were talking about her great achievements that had been spread all over the world.
Madam Liu giggled when she heard them prattling and praised Qin Xiaoyao from time to time.
Qin Xiaoyao listened for a moment before entering the courtyard.
“Haha! It’s not as exaggerated as Yun’er and Ye’er said. At that point, if a hundred thousand troops had really surrounded your daughter-in-law, even if there were two of me, we still wouldn’t be able to escape from the Liao army’s camp!” Qin Xiaoyao said with a laugh as she walked in..
