Everyone knew that Zhang Huiguang had rushed here not only to reward Heng Yi with a sword but also to recruit him.
Heng Yi hesitated for a moment before taking it, “Thank you, Lord Zhang.”
It was difficult to stay out of this, so he had to make a choice.
Even if he had to choose, he had to do it properly.
Although he had never met the emperor, Heng Yi felt that as a citizen of the
Great Yong, he should be loyal to the emperor and love his country.
Zhang Huiguang was very satisfied with his response.
He laughed out loud, “I heard that your family will be moving to your new house on the twenty-fifth. I wonder if 1 can come to pay you a housewarming visit?”
“That will be my honor.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Zhang Huiguang came and left quickly.
His colleagues looked at Heng Yi’s new sword with envy.
Some things really couldn’t be bought with money.
There were no fools in the government office. They were all smart people. Although they knew that Heng Yi was powerful and that he would rise to fame sooner or later, they didn’t expect him to do it this soon.
He had only been in the office for a few days and had already made a great contribution by killing the lecherous man. He had even caught the attention of Commander Zhang.
They all smiled and told Heng Yi that they would come to visit on the twenty-fifth to celebrate the move.
Heng Yi smiled and welcomed them.
Of course, it was normal to have house visits on the day of the move. Although it would be lively, it was definitely going to be tough for the host.
Constable Chen stopped Heng Yi, “I’m afraid you’ll have to prepare a few more tables. I’ll be bringing my family along as well.”

Heng Yi was silent for a moment before he understood.
He was not easy to deal with, so they naturally had to start with the womenfolk.
If their wives were on good terms, it would be natural for them to be close.
With the wind blowing by their bedside, many things could be solved.
His colleagues wanted Heng Yi to treat them again.
“Alright.”
Heng Yi could only treat them to a meal.
When the sky darkened once more, those indecent people agreed to visit the brothel after their meal again.
Heng Yi’s face darkened.
He hated these kinds of people the most. They earned a little silver a month, but they didn’t take it home to feed their wives. Instead of providing for their family or paying for their filial piety to their parents, they use their earnings for such a dirty place.
Although there always would be some extra income, wasn’t it better to spend it on candy for their children, Xuan paper to improve their study, and weapons for their martial arts?
Back at the manor, Han Qiao was still awake, and the light gray scarf was almost finished.
Ah-Yao was lying in his cradle, while Pucao was folding diapers on the side.
“I’m back.”
Han Qiao smelled the smell of alcohol on Heng Yi and frowned, “Go and wash up. Don’t come near Ah-Yao with that kind of smell.”
“Alright.”
Heng Yi went to the bathroom to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and came out.
Han Qiao handed him the scarf, “Try it on,”
Heng Yi had never seen something like this before. He wrapped it around his neck, feeling warm and comfortable.
“This is great.”
“After we move into our new home, I’ll knit you two pairs of gloves to keep your hands warm when you ride.”
Heng Yi nodded.
As he played with his son, he told Han Qiao about Zhang Huiguang.
“He’s coming?” Han Qiao was very surprised.
“Yes.”
Han Qiao was silent for a moment, “So be it. No matter who he is, you just have to do your job well.”
“Yes.”
She believed that the Gong Prince wouldn’t dare to harm them openly.
“Let’s earn some more money and let Bai Cha make the trip to the capital to buy a house.”
No matter what, they still had to go to the capital.
Building a house in the capital was a way out and a future for them.
Heng Yi had asked for leave on the 24th and 25th.
He left for the city early in the morning and checked the entire residence. He also checked the dishes, wine, and snacks.
He walked around and confirmed that there were no problems before he finally returned to the manor.
Before the dawn of the twenty-fifth, the village was already bustling with activity. They set off into the city together. When they reached the city gate, the gate hadn’t been opened yet. However, some guards saw Heng Yi and the others and waited with them until it was time to open the gate.
They congratulated Heng Yi.
Heng Yi handed them a pouch.
There were ten taels of silver inside, “Have some wine.”
It was also a big deal.
Many people only gave one or two taels, but this time, he gave ten taels.
Rich people were indeed different.
They slowly made their way to their new home.
After waiting at the door for a while, they started to light firecrackers when the auspicious time arrived.
It was deafening.
Heng Yi carried Ah-Yao and held Han Qiao’s hand as they walked through the door, then put away the things that should be put away.
They worship the gods, make the bed, and sweep the floor.
Then they heated the pot, started the fire, boiled the water, and made tea.
After these trivial matters were settled, Feng Xinru brought the children over.
The adults greeted the adults, the girls greeted the girls, and Han Chi greeted the boys.
Feng Xinru said to Han Qiao, “Your house is really well built.”
The location was good and the place was big.
No matter each nook and cranny it was, everything was fine.
Han Qiao also felt that it was good. Everything was to her liking.
Although this place didn’t have a good past, they now made it a good place to live.
The lotus pond had been filled up, and the wells that needed to be sealed had also been sealed. In short, Han Qiao felt that there was nothing wrong with the house compared to when she first came. The cats found a place to sleep, and the puppy ran around happily.
Sometimes, cats and dogs had higher requirements for cleanliness than humans.
When Madam Feng brought her daughter over, everything became even more lively.
Then Zhang Huiguang brought his wife over.
Han Qiao could feel Madam Feng’s restraint and effort to favor them.
This caution was different from when she was facing the Gong Prince’s consort.
Han Qiao understood that Master Feng was Zhang Huiguang’s man.
Zhang Huiguang was the emperor’s man.
Heng Congshan was in the capital and had a good relationship with Master Feng.
No wonder he gave her and Heng Yi so much convenience.
After thinking it through, Han Qiao became even more indifferent.
She treated Madam Feng and Feng Xinru no differently.
She was also very respectful to Madam Zhang.
She didn’t treat the Gong Prince’s consort differently either.
It was as if she did not notice the twists and turns that were happening within Heng Yi’s new residence.
Constable Wu, Constable Zheng, Constable Chen, and Constable Ma’s wives were even more sociable than Han Qiao. They were very flawless in their words and actions.
Han Qiao chatted with them for a while and learned a lot.
The wives of the other constables were much more cautious than she was.
Han Qiao didn’t talk much and just listened with a smile.
And it was obvious that Constable Wu and Constable Zheng’s wives were especially close to the Gong Prince’s consort.
Constable Chen and Constable Ma’s wives would write cautiously and speak cautiously.
“Mother,” When Li Mi came over with a smile, her servant girl was beside her.
Behind them were a few beautiful little girls. Sun Xiu, Sun Yi, and Sun Ke were not there.
They were all the daughters of the constables.
A daughter of a concubine would not be brought to such an occasion unless she was especially doted on.
Li Mi sat down next to the Gong Prince’s consort and whispered a few words into her ear, smiling until her eyes curved.
The Gong Prince’s consort raised her hand and tapped her forehead, “Nonsense,”
Han Qiao didn’t hear what Li Mi said clearly. However, her face was flushed red and she seemed to be in love. Could it be that she had taken a fancy to some young master?
Sun Xiu arrived with a basket filled with golden oranges.
“Did you bring this from Puyi County?” The Gong Prince’s consort asked.
“These are from the oranges over there, Your Majesty.” Han Qiao nodded, “They
were just delivered yesterday..”
