The three children played like crazy.
The room quickly became chaotic, but Sun Xiu didn’t care, because Sun Ke hadn’t been this happy for a long time.
Li Mi and Han Chi stayed to chat for a while, then got up and went back.
Li Mi was going to continue unpacking their things, then she planned to wash up and rest.
Han Chi was going to see Second Uncle, and ask what major events have happened in the residence recently, and if there was anything he could help with.
Han Qiao was meeting the people from the palace in the main hall.
The rewards they have brought were a lot. It took several large carriages to carry them to the residence.
“Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I have already instructed people to prepare some light wine. Everyone must be exhausted. Wash up first, eat something before you rest. When the Marquis returns, I will prepare you a welcoming dinner tonight.”
“It will be an honor, Madam,”
Most of these people who delivered things would not return to the capital and would stay here to work.
From now on, they would be Heng Yi’s subordinates.
Han Qiao’s courtesy was still very much appreciated by them.
After all, they were not very capable people in the capital. It should be said that many of the official positions in the capital were each to his own; no two people could be doing the same position. There were too many people staring at those spots like hungry wolves. It wasn’t easy to advance.
So they took a different route and came to Sanzhou Town.
If they had some ability and worked hard, they could be able to make a name for themselves.
Especially when they were arranged to stay in the manor. Looking at the clean and fragrant quilts in the room, these people felt more at ease than in their homes.
Han Qiao asked Cui Guo and the others to put them in the warehouse.
Emperor Zhao Qian was an interesting Emperor. None of the things he rewarded were marked by the palace. There were also two boxes of his calligraphy and paintings.
This was the equivalent of sending money to Heng Yi.
Han Qiao thought that when the teahouse opened, she would hold an auction. She must make the best use of the Emperor’s things and earn more money.
Also, she had to choose some of the treasures he had given out to be auctioned off to buy cattle and sheep for the army.
This year, they were a little short of money. After the soldiers planted the grain, they would only be left to buy grain and vegetables. If they raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese, they would be even more economical.
Now there were more stages, training halls, and competition halls in the barracks, which would cause them a huge expense.
Han Qiao never visited the military side of the town before, but she knew everything going on there.
Heng Yi would tell her, and so would Shopkeeper Zhu and Bai Cha.
There were many things that men couldn’t solve on their own, but she could give them a little help.
“Mother.”
The children decided to visit her.
Han Qiao saw the three-piece tiger suit on Ah-Yao’s. It was very cute.
She couldn’t help but pinched the tiger’s ears, “So adorable.”
“Sister, here!” Ah-Yao looked at Sun Yi.
Sun Yi laughed.
Han Qiao felt pleased, and asked Ah-Yao, “Do you like it?”
“I like it! Cute! Cute!” Ah-Yao nodded vigorously.
He Cheng watched, then looked at Sun Yi, “Second Sister, I want a tiger costume too.”
Sun Yi was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll make it for you tomorrow.”
He Cheng smiled, “Thank you, Second Sister!”
The fair and chubby child was obedient and sensible. Although Sun Yi was biased, she also liked He Cheng.
“You don’t have to be a tiger. I can make you something else too.”
“Let’s discuss this later, come. The Emperor has given us a lot of fabrics. Let’s choose some to make clothes for the new year.”
Then she asked someone to invite Li Mi over.
Han Qiao first picked out a piece of purple fabric and saved it for Madam Jun.
The children praised the fabric, but nobody chose one until Li Mi arrived.
“Sister-in-law!”
“Sister-in-law!”
Li Mi looked at her younger siblings and smiled softly.
She greeted Han Qiao respectfully, “Mother.”
“Mi’er, come here. These are the fabrics that the Emperor gifted us. Choose one to make New Year clothes..”
