Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Hanzheng left North City for the capital and when his family left, more than half of the people in North City came to see them off.

The students of the Craftsman College and those who had already graduated and had a job came to send them off.

Apart from being reluctant to part with Lord Xiao and his wife, they also couldn’t bear to part with the flock of geese that they were carrying.

This flock of geese patrolling had already become a scenic spot in North City. Every day, at dawn, they would spread out to patrol, and in the evening, they would return in groups.

They would help look after children and catch thieves. If anyone was bullied on the street, these geese would also help.

There was a family in the city who wanted to sell their daughter to a brothel. The girl refused and was dragged by her father to be sold.

Coincidentally, Daidai and his flock of geese saw it and immediately went forward to peck at the heartless father until he cried out in pain.

Because Dumby was the Goose King bestowed by the Emperor, that person did not dare to resist at all. Of course, he could not resist either. He could not defeat that group of geese.

In the following days, he was still being watched by a few big geese. As long as he hit the girl at home or wanted to sell her, he would be bitten by the big geese.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up on selling his daughter to a brothel.

With Shi Qingluo’s help, the girl entered the Craftsman College to study. Then, she entered the yarn shop opened by the Fifth Prince’s wife.

Only then did she finally get out of the quagmire at home.

Therefore, she was especially grateful and liked to stay with the geese. She specially planted fresh vegetables to feed the geese.

This matter also spread in North City, and people talked about it with relish.

The flock of geese was like the guardian beasts of the North City, causing many commoners to develop feelings for them.

They weren’t used to being taken away.

There were also many commoners who heard about this matter and rushed over from other cities, counties, or villages.

Therefore, after walking for more than half a day, they could meet commoners who came to send them off.

Many people were also emotional and could not bear to see Xiao Hanzheng and his wife leave.

Ever since Lord Xiao and his wife came to the northern border, the northern border had changed.

Not only did the North City and the border cities become more prosperous, but other places were also gradually developing. Many commoners were able to eat their fill now.

Everyone was reluctant to let such a good official leave, but they could not stop him.

They could only send them off and wish Lord Xiao a great rise.

What made everyone feel fortunate was that Magistrate Fei was personally groomed by Lord Xiao.

Previously, he had done many things in Heyang County to benefit the people.

Xiao Hanzheng was riding his horse and looking at the people who came to see him off, he could not help but feel touched.

His increasingly cold temperament became much gentler when he saw the commoners.

Xi Rong, Xi Rui, the Fifth Prince’s family of three, and King Yi’s family of three were also with them.

Xi Rong had already taken root at the border and nurtured a very outstanding group of female soldiers.

She had also taken revenge for her parents, which allowed her to completely let go of the burden in her heart.

This time, she returned to the capital to bring Yue Lü to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to see them and prepare for the marriage.

Xi Rui and Xiao Baili had been engaged three years ago, and they were going to have a wedding after returning to the capital.

Xi Rui was almost 21 this year, but he waited for Xiao Baili without any complaints.

It was rare for the Xi Family to not rush the two of them.

Every year, Xi Rui’s mother would prepare many gifts from the capital to North City.

Of course, Shi Qingluo would return the greeting.

Not only that, Xiao Baili and Xi Rui’s mother had become pen pals. They would write to each other several times a month, writing about the interesting things they had seen in the northern border.

The princess consort would also write about what she had seen and heard in the capital in a letter for Xiao Baili to see.

If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Baili and her future mother-in-law wouldn’t have too much conflict in the future. Their relationship would be very good.

Under Xiao Hanzheng’s care, and with her mood getting better and better in

North City, the Fifth Princess Consort also gave birth to a daughter a year ago.

The Fifth Prince had a daughter now, and after three years of hard work, he finally got off the Second Prince’s ship.

The Second Prince would contact him frequently when he returned to North City, Dut tnere nad Deen no more letters In tne past year.

In the carriage, Shi Qingluo placed a soft blanket on the carriage and asked Daidai to play with the children.

Her son was called Xiao Yiran, and her daughter was called Xiao Yijia.

His youngest brother-in-law was Liang Hengyan, who was of the same generation as the princes.

Daidai was especially good at taking care of children and doted on the twins. It often took the two children out to play.

Daidai took good care of the children in the carriage.

When children played with toys, Daidai would bite them and put them back when they fell to the side.

It would even act as a pillow for the twins and coax them to sleep.

Shi Qingluo saw the children coaxed to sleep in a daze and Daidai even covered them with small blankets.

She smiled and reached out to scratch its head. “I’ve never seen you coax your goose children like this.”

It called her a few times in a daze. How could that be the same?

These were its younger siblings. The group of silly geese couldn’t be compared to them.

Moreover, it didn’t even know how many children it had. It didn’t care if there were too many children. It just needed to take care of them.

The Fifth Prince’s wife was also sitting in the carriage. She looked at Daidai with a gentle gaze and asked Shi Qingluo, “What is it trying to say?”

They all liked Daidai.

Not only did her daughter like to stick to her brothers and sisters, but she also liked to stick to Daidai dazedly.

Although Daidai doted on Shi Qingluo’s twins the most, it also took good care of King Yi’s son and daughter.

Shi Qingluo smiled. “It despises its flock of geese. Then, it treats my two naughty children as younger siblings and pampers them.”

She would feed Daidai spiritual spring water every day, so its intelligence was getting higher and higher. It knew everything.

Because she had known it for a long time, she could roughly guess what it meant.

The Fifth Princess Consort couldn’t help but sigh. “It really understands human nature.”

“Luo Luo, when we reach the capital, can you give us a little goose? I’ll bring it back to Xi Xi to raise.”

Her daughter’s name was Liang Zixi.

When they arrived in the capital, they would have to return to the Fifth Prince’s estate. They probably wouldn’t be as free as they were in North City, bringing their children to visit each other every day.

Daidai’s descendants were all very smart. Although they were not as intelligent as it was, they were very protective of their masters when they were raised. She wanted to raise one for her daughter.

Shi Qingluo smiled. “Of course you can. When we reach the capital, I’ll let Xi Xi choose one for herself.”

Last year, they had heard King Yi say that Xiao Hanzheng would be transferred to the capital this year. It just so happened that a group of officials had their houses confiscated in the capital and the houses were sold by the Ministry of Revenue, so she bought three houses together.

Now, there were thousands of Daidai’s offspring. Because they were often fed with spiritual water, every one of them was smarter than ordinary geese. She often fed them and watched them patrol in groups. She had feelings for them.

Naturally, she couldn’t give up. This time, she brought them all to the capital.

When the time came, she would specially take out a courtyard to feed them. What she did not lack the most now was money.

Previously, when she invested in Liang Youxiao, Xi Rui, and Xi Rong’s businesses, the monthly dividends were very objective.

Also, she had bought many shops, courtyards, and villages in many places in the northern border. As the development of the northern border became better and better, she had earned a lot of money.

Liang Youxiao had returned once a year ago and brought back a lot of gold and treasures from overseas. He had helped her exchange them for the supplies she had prepared and had someone send them to North City for her.

Therefore, she suspected that her current wealth could rank in the top ten of Daliang..
