Chapter 173 Everyone Arrives in Shangjing City

When Brother Xile brought the news to Chenggong Lane Girls' School, Hualei was overjoyed.

After the girls' school was dismissed, she went straight back to Qingyun Lane. In the small courtyard of Qingyun Lane, there were three mule carts parked. The main hall was already crowded with people, both standing and sitting.

Everyone had already finished lunch, and when they saw Hualei coming over, they stood up and greeted each other. After Xiaoxiao brought them tea, everyone found their seats and sat down.

This time, Tian Dacheng's second son Tian Changmu brought the entire second branch of the Tian family, a total of eight people, to the capital. Accompanying them were six people from the fifth branch of the Tian family, Tian Changshui, and Tian Xiaoan, the youngest son of Tian Changjin from the first branch of the Tian family. A group of fifteen people arrived at Qingyun Lane in the morning.

Although the people had come, the Tian family was still very uneasy. But life in Dade Town was really hard.

Ever since Tian Dayou and his family returned to Dade Town to serve their sentences, the rumors have become more and more intense. Before, when he went out, people would talk about him behind his back, but now, some gossipy women who like to watch the fun will come directly to his door to ask about him.

Although everyone in the Tian family was very angry, they could not say anything back, and they naturally felt very aggrieved. This unexpected disaster not only made the lives of several adults in the family miserable, but also affected the marriages of the Tian family's grandchildren.

After Tian Changmu returned, he saw that the situation was escalating. Thinking of Hua Lei's invitation, his already tempted idea became even stronger. He picked a day and told his brother and younger brother about this matter.

Unexpectedly, the younger brother Tian Changshui agreed immediately and was willing to come to the capital. Although the eldest brother Tian Changjin was a little hesitant, he still let his youngest son Tian Xiaoan come with him, thinking that it would be good to go out and try his luck. The impact of Tian Dayou's incident would take a long time to subside, but the child's marriage could not be delayed.

Although Tian Dacheng was reluctant to leave his sons and grandsons, he also knew that the problem could not be easily resolved, so he simply divided the property among his three sons. With the idea that "a tree that is moved will die, but a person who is moved will live", he let his two sons bring their entire families out, and also brought Tian Xiaoan, who had difficulty finding a marriage, along.

But before the two sons came to the capital, they were also told not to cause trouble to Hualei and to do their work honestly on the farm. That's why Hualei got the people of the Tian family who knew how to read and count.

Hua Lei was very happy. What her farm lacked was talented people. These people from the Tian family were all educated by her grandfather and had good character. It was really great to have them on her farm. Not only did it solve her urgent problem, but she also didn't have to worry about the lack of people who could read and count in the future.

You have to know that before the Tian Dayou incident, all the Tian family members in Tian Dacheng's family were literate, including Tian Xiaohe, Tian Xiaolian, Tian Xiaoxiao and Tian Xiaomei. They were also good people, so they were still very popular in Dade Town. The wives he found were also well-educated girls. If he had any subsequent business to develop in the future, these people would be useful.

At that moment, after understanding the general situation of everyone, he did not hesitate and directly led everyone from the Tian family to Yuanying Manor. He first picked out a few suitable rooms for everyone to rest. In the next two days, he let Uncle Fu take them to familiarize themselves with the situation on the manor, and then assign specific tasks according to the specific situation.

The Tian family had traveled for more than half a month, feeling extremely uneasy all the way here. It was not until they lay down on the soft bed in Yuanying Manor that they felt that this was the right decision.

In the next few days, everyone in the Tian family followed Uncle Fu to visit almost every place on the farm. They had a general idea of ​​what vegetables were planted here and what fruits were planted there.

Following the farmers who raised chickens, ducks and geese, they watched and learned. They also went to visit those who raised pigs, fish and tofu shops. They even went to Baihua Village to see what crops and fruit trees were planted there, and what different trees there were on the hillside. They probably saw everything.

In the evening, the Tian family also sat together, talking and studying. While discussing and studying, they were impressed that it was not easy for Hualei, a young girl, to do so well.

At the beginning, Hualei and her brother were personally sent from Tongde Town by Tian Changmu and Tian Changshui. When the young Xiaoyuan snuggled up to Lei, who was only 12 years old, and said goodbye to him, he was still worried about whether the brother and sister could safely reach Shangjing City and whether they could live well.

At that time, Hualei was advised that as long as the two siblings were alive and well, Xiaoyuan should give up studying for the imperial examination.

Unexpectedly, Hua Lei turned things around in less than two years. Not only did he buy a farm and a shop, but Xiao Yuan also got admitted to the highest official school in the Great Sheng Dynasty - the Imperial College.

Now Hua Lei also has to deliver goods to the canteen of the Imperial College. I heard that Hua Lei also has business dealings with the chief priest of the Imperial College. Hua Lei is really promising.

Why didn't my two brothers think of coming to Shangjing City? If they had come, they would have helped Hualei. In the past two years, my family would have been better off than in Dade Town.

Tian Changmu felt a little ashamed when he thought that the money for the trip to the capital was still the money that Hua Lei had given to Tian Dacheng.

At that time, my father received the two hundred taels of silver note from Hua Lei. He did not spend anything on the way back, but he spent ten taels of silver to bribe Tian Dayou's family when they were put in the county jail. When the family property was divided among his three brothers, the eldest brother Tian Changjin gave eighty taels, and he and Tian Changshui, as the younger brothers, each took forty taels.

My father only kept thirty taels for himself, saying that if anything happened to Tian Dayou's family, he would have to take care of them, so the two hundred taels were divided up. If Hua Lei hadn't given me the two hundred taels of silver notes, I wouldn't have had the money to come to the capital even if I really wanted to.

Look, this time, I spent ten taels of my forty taels of silver, leaving thirty taels in my wife's hands. I guess my younger brother Tian Changshui's situation is similar to mine, with about thirty taels left. It seems like a lot, but looking at my sons Tian Xiaoquan and Tian Xiaohe, they are almost old enough to get married, so I have to save the thirty taels of silver when the time comes.

Fortunately, I had the nerve to take the banknote, and fortunately, I made the decision to come to the capital. I must do a good job in the farm and repay this favor, Tian Changmu secretly swore in his heart. At the same time, he also asked his son and nephews and nieces to do a good job and work hard.

Tian Xiaohe, who was sitting at the end, was even more filled with emotion. She and Hua Lei were the same age, even the months of their birth were almost the same.
