Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 824 Burden
The next afternoon, Tang Wan, accompanied by her maid Zhu Xi, arrived at the Zheng residence carrying carefully prepared gifts.

In three days, they will be leaving Mobei. Zhuxi has settled all the accounts at the rouge shop, explained everything that needed to be explained, and taken most of the people with her. They will be returning to the capital in a few days. From today onwards, Tang Wan has not allowed Zhuxi to go to the shop anymore.

The gatekeeper of the Zheng residence recognized Tang Wan and greeted the two women with a smile: "Second Miss Tang has arrived, please come in quickly."

Meanwhile, he sent a servant quickly inside to announce the news.

Before long, Tang Wan was led to the warm pavilion where Old Madam Zheng lived.

"Wan'er greets the old lady and Madam Huang." Tang Wan stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Tang Wan knew that the Zheng family's aunt had not left Mobei during this trip, so naturally, Madam Huang also brought a gift with her.

"Get up and sit down," said Madam Zheng gently, gesturing for a seat for the maid.

Tang Wan sat down as instructed.

Madam Zheng smiled and said, "It's been a while since I've seen you. I heard your family will be setting off back to the capital soon? That's wonderful news."

"Thanks to the old lady, Wan'er has come today for this very reason," Tang Wan replied with a smile, her demeanor respectful yet relaxed.

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "Because of the recent busy affairs at home, and fearing that she might disturb the old lady's peace, Mother instructed Wan'er to come in person to say goodbye to the old lady and thank her for her past care for the Tang family, especially for Mu Bai."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng's smile deepened: "Your mother is too kind. The fact that Mu Bai was allowed to stay and continue studying with the old master shows your trust in him. Go back and tell your mother not to worry; the child will certainly not be mistreated in our household."

Madam Zheng knew that Tang Bojun had come to say goodbye to her husband a while ago, but since Madam Tang had not shown up, she thought that they might not be very familiar with each other and that she might have had some concerns, so she didn't take it seriously.

I didn't expect them to send their daughter today; she's quite polite.

Grandma Zheng also smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Tang, don't worry. Mu Bai is here just like one of our own nephews."

Tang Wan then gestured for Zhu Xi to present the gift box: "This is a small token of my appreciation from Mother and Wan'er. As we are about to part, I hope that the old lady and the great-aunt will not refuse it."

Tang Wan personally opened one of the larger gift boxes, which was divided into several layers. "These are some homemade pear syrups for moisturizing the lungs and relieving coughs. The ingredients are fairly clean, and the taste is also good. They are suitable for the old lady to use on a daily basis. These two sets of skin care products, the purple one is for the old lady, and the camellia one is for Madam Huang. The forehead band was made by my eldest sister for the old lady, and this round fan is for Madam Huang."

She then opened another, smaller box and pushed it toward Huang Ying: "Little sister Huang Ying, these are some newly made rouge creams from my own shop. The colors are light and suitable for you. There's also a purse that my elder sister specially embroidered for you."

Looking at the items, especially the pear syrup, Madam Zheng felt pleased and sighed, "It's kind of you all to be so thoughtful, I'll accept it without hesitation. Huang Ying, why don't you thank Sister Tang?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ying immediately stood up and sweetly thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Tang! It's a pity that we may not see each other again."

Tang Wan patted Huang Ying's hand and said with a smile, "You never know. You can come and visit me when you come to the capital in the future."

After all, no one knows where Lord Huang will be transferred to after his term expires.

Huang Ying happily agreed, and Aunt Zheng also thanked her.

Tang Wan chatted with Madam Zheng for a while longer before getting up to take her leave: "I dare not disturb Madam's rest any longer. I will take my leave now. I wish Madam good health and a long and happy life."

After bidding farewell to Madam Zheng and Madam Huang, Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. This trip not only fulfilled the proper etiquette on behalf of her mother, but also strengthened the friendship between the two families that had been forged because of her younger brother's education.

Afterwards, Tang Wan and Zhu Xi had Ding Li take them home. They would be leaving Mobei in three days.

There are not many things left to do, but there are still quite a few.

For the next three days, Tang Wan spent her days talking with her mother, Wang Shi, checking the family accounts, packing luggage with her sister, and occasionally taking the opportunity to go into her space to work.

In the evenings, I spent most of my time in the space.

Tang Wan prepared plenty of skincare products, including toner, lotion, face cream, hand cream, rouge, and lipstick.

Besides cosmetics, Tang Wan also took the time to make some preserved chicken and preserved rabbit.

There are too many chickens and rabbits in the space, so it's good to use some up on the way.

After finishing the preserved chicken and rabbit, Tang Wan planned to have them carried out of the room by herself on the day she left. She figured that in the chaos, her parents wouldn't ask too many questions about what happened and would just assume that she didn't know when she had prepared them.

In the past three days, Tang Wan harvested grain twice. The harvest time for the newly cultivated fields and the old fields was different. Recently, there were two batches of grain that had just been harvested. After harvesting the grain, Tang Wan planted new grain.

After all, she planned to store some grain along the way if possible, especially sorghum needed for brewing wine.

Everything that needed to be prepared seemed to have been prepared.

On the day of departure, just as dawn broke, the area in front of the Tang residence was already bustling with activity.

Five carriages were lined up in a row. Beside the carriage shaft, Tang Mubai held his mother Wang's hand tightly. The young man tried to remain calm, but his eyes were slightly red.

“Father, Mother, Eldest Sister, Second Sister,” he said, his voice choked with emotion, “Go to the capital with peace of mind. I will study diligently under Mr. Zheng.”

Tang Bojun looked at his son, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Zheng Dashi was once a leader of the upright officials in the court. His scholarship and character were highly regarded by the world. After retiring, he returned to his hometown in the northern desert.

It was only through Tang Wan's chance rescue of Huang Ying, the granddaughter of the Zheng family, that Mu Bai was able to become her disciple.

Now that they were able to return to the capital, Scholar Zheng wanted Mu Bai to stay and continue his studies. His family also felt that staying in the northern desert and focusing on studying with this great scholar might be better for Mu Bai's future.

Madam Wang raised her hand to straighten her son's clothes, fighting back tears: "My son, following Mr. Zheng is a blessing that others can only dream of. You must respect your teacher, work hard, and take good care of yourself in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."

As she spoke, Wang couldn't help but turn her head away to wipe her tears.

The older sister, Tang Jing, handed the bundle she had prepared to her younger brother. Her voice was gentle, and her eyes were a little red as she said, "The northern desert is bitterly cold. I have prepared enough writing materials and clothing. If you need anything, just write to me and I will get it for you."

Inside the bundle were clothes for all four seasons, knee pads, gloves, and other items that Tang Jing had carefully sewn.

She may not be good at anything else, but she is excellent at needlework. The whole family is going back to the capital, leaving only her younger brother in the northern desert. She is worried about him, and this is all she can do.

Tang Mubai took the bundle from his sister, his eyes a little red, and nodded slightly, saying, "Don't worry, elder sister, I'll let you know if I need anything."
