The little emperor has not yet mourned the funeral, and the Empress Dowager is still in Bailu Mountain. Therefore, the Qingyuan defense has not been lifted, and the gates of the new capital city are only open for half an hour every day.

In the past half an hour, there were chariots and horses coming and going to the city gates, and some of them were visiting relatives and friends from nearby counties and townships. Compared with the previous period, there was still a difference, and there was a little loosening.

However, as an important checkpoint in Xinjing, Qingyuan's defense and defense have not been lifted. Without a sign, no officials or the people are allowed to enter and exit.

However, the token that can enter and exit is different from before. In the past, the city gate army only recognized the brands of the Governor's Office and Feiyuwei. Now the brand of Feiyuwei is no longer useful, but there is another brand, Chai Yan's brand.

For this reason, Yan Xuehuai told Li Shiji that everyone was in a unified manner and saw neighbors and regular customers. He only said that Li Qiniang found her relatives. At this time, while the business was deserted, the mother and daughter lived at their relatives' house for a while.

As for what kind of relative he was, there was no concealment. He was Li Qiniang's sister and Yan Xuehuai's aunt.

Although there are already many shops on Huichang Street open, the business is not good, and it is greatly reduced compared to before. In the past month, the people have been staying at home, making a living, and their lives have become much tighter than before.

The people were too busy to tighten their expenses. Not only restaurants like Li Shiji, but also medicine shops, clothing shops, and porcelain shops were deserted in front of the door.

No one knows how long this situation will last. Several shops on Huichang Street have pasted red paper for "transfer".

Li Qiniang wanted to take her daughter to visit her relatives, but no one was surprised. Instead of sitting in the shop every day to count the corners of the wall, it would be better to stay at her relatives' house for a few days.

As for what kind of livelihood Li Qiniang's sister does, no one cares about it, she is just a woman in a village in a nearby county.

Zhang Wushao is the most enthusiastic. She told Yan Xuehuai: "Your mother is really successful. You should advise your mother more. Never show off your wealth in front of your aunt and talk less about the matter in the shop. You don't know that those countrymen who know that you run shops in the city, regardless of whether they earn hard-earned money or not, will work hard to find you to ask for this and that, and try different ways to fight the autumn wind."

Yan Xuehuai said yes, and Aunt Wu reminded him that Aunt Wu was the light guiding the way, the raised sail was a fire in winter and a piece of ice in summer.

Yan Xuehuai went to see Manager Hu and Yu Min. When he came back, he went to Lao Cui to say hello, turned to Dengshi Street, and said to Sun Sheng.

At night, Li Qiniang took Yan Xuehuai and Xiaoman to say goodbye to Mrs. Ye in advance.

They are about to set off tomorrow as soon as dawn, so there is no need to disturb Mrs. Ye anymore.

As usual, Mrs. Ye pointed at Xiaoman with a stern face and said to Li Qiniang: "This is a seed of study, don't delay him."

Li Qiniang hurriedly said, "Thank you, the old lady, don't worry, Xiaoman is my son, I will provide him with his studies no matter what."

As he said that, Xiaoman asked Xiaoman to kowtow to Mrs. Ye, but Mrs. Ye asked Mo Yu to stop him: "A man has gold under his knees, and he kneels around. Good children will also make you lose your character. If you can't raise a son, let him stay and I will teach you."

Li Qiniang blushed when she said this, but she knew that Mrs. Ye had good intentions. Xiaoman bowed to Mrs. Ye like an adult, saying, "Xiaoman, thank you for your love. When Xiaoman grows up, he will come back to visit the old lady."

Mrs. Ye's face finally calmed down a little, and she said to Mo Yu: "Go and take the things I gave to this child."

Mo Yu went out, but Wu Jie and Wu Rui carried a box in.

"There are books and a few copybooks. When Feiyuwei came a while ago, these books were also affected. I chose some and Xiaoman took them. Don't worry, repair them slowly. When you finish repairing these books, you will finish reading all the books."

Li Qiniang knew that all the books in Mrs. Ye’s family were relics of Ouyang Boru and Ouyang Zan. Even if they were incomplete, they still had great significance.

"This is too expensive, how good you leave it to Fusheng."

Mrs. Ye snorted coldly: "Taoer is not a material for reading. If you give these books to him, he will not read them. It is better to give them to those who can read."

Xiaoman stood up straight and stood up straight: "Old lady, don't worry, Xiaoman will definitely study hard and be a useful person in the future."

Yan Xuehuai looked at Xiaoman's silhouette. This little guy was a good person. He could study hard, but he didn't mention the imperial examinations, but just said he wanted to be a useful person.

She remembered that there was an emperor in her previous life, and she was transformed into a civilian in the second half of her life. The emperor was already very old at that time. Xiaoman was different from him. Xiaoman was still a child, and his future was full of possibilities.

The next day, the sky was dimming, and Li Qiniang and Yan Xuehuai, along with Lu Ying'er, Xiaoman, and Zhenzhu, and five people walked out of the Shizi Hutong.

As soon as I went out, I saw Chai Yan who came to see them off.

When I walked to the street, I saw Wen Xiu, Daniu, Dazhuang, Xin Xiang, Tian Guihua and Cui Xu who were waiting there, who were coming to see him off.

Wen Xiu's daughter came over to see her with the child in her arms, constantly wiping her tears. Wen Xiu said, "Okay, stop crying. When I settle down with the boss and the others, I will write you a letter to report your safety. Do you remember what I said to you?"

The daughter nodded and then started crying again. Wen Xiu sighed when she saw it. She guessed what she said, but her daughter didn't take it seriously.

Yan Xuehuai looked towards Huichang Street. Dong Ji barbecue has not been opened these days, and I don’t know where Dong Wanqian and Dong Xiaobai are now. If they had faked death at the beginning and now the army of the Nei Cao is gone, they should have seen the light of day again. I wonder if there is still a chance to see them in the future.

They made an appointment with Zhou Dada family to join the city, so they waved goodbye to the person who saw him off, and then went straight to the city gate.

Although it was still early, there was a long queue at the city gate. Before the city gate was opened, Chai Yan rode on the horse. Before the pearl could show the sign, the city gate official standing on the city wall recognized Liuli who was following Chai Yan!

He pointed at Liuli and opened his mouth wide. He would not admit his mistake. This was the person who pretended to be Feiyuwei and left the city that night.

Of course, the city gate official did not know that he was pretending to be an impersonator at that time. Later, when the Qi family army entered the city and Xu Huaiyi disappeared, the city gate official understood that he was deceived that day. The young man who left the city was nineteen or ninety-one who went to report to the Qi family army.

"You go down and check what brand they are holding." The city gate official called a confidant.

The confidant trotted down the city tower and took the sign handed over by Pearl before the soldiers. He took a look and returned the sign to Pearl, and then trotted up the city tower.
