"When you are away from home, you need money. These are pocket money I give you. You can buy whatever you want to eat when you go to Fanyang."

Although Tianbao was not short of money, she was still very happy to accept the money Xiaoxiao gave her.

Li Xiaoning was even more excited. She hugged Qian Xiaoxiao's arm and said, "Thank you, auntie."

Outside the County Office

Xuan Yu and Xuan Lei had already prepared the carriage, and Su Liaoyun also came over leading his horse.

Li Jin had two carriages prepared, one for Tianbao, Xiaoning and the others, and one for himself.

Mei County Magistrate also went with them. He repeatedly assured Li Shubai that he would take good care of Tianbao and Li Xiaoning.

The Mei family's carriage drove over, and Mei Jing'an and the others were ready to set off.

Mrs. Mei also took Qian Xiaoxiao's hand and invited her to go with her.

Qian Xiaoxiao refused with a smile, and the two of them talked affectionately.

"It's getting late, let's set off." Meixian Cheng looked at everyone.

Mei Jing'an held Tianbao and Xiaoning's hands, and the three of them got on the same carriage while whispering to each other.

Lulan and Yuexin followed Tianbao and the others in a carriage, while Zhiya, Hongzao and two maids from the Mei family also rode in the same carriage.

"Sister-in-law, goodbye Shubai." Tianbao waved to Qian Xiaoxiao and Li Shubai outside the carriage.

"Xiaoning, Auntie, you guys have to take care of Tianbao and don't let others bully her." Qian Xiaoxiao gave her final reminder.

She just doesn't feel at ease with Tianbao. After all, Tianbao is so cute, yet some people are blindly looking for trouble.

Mei Jing'an and Li Xiaoning repeatedly assured that they would take good care of Tianbao, and only then did Qian Xiaoxiao and Li Shubai feel relieved.

The group started their journey in a mighty procession. Only after the carriages had gone far away did Qian Xiaoxiao believe her son's complaints.

"Look at your father. He doesn't feel sorry for us at all. His face is about to burst with laughter."

Li Shubai smiled and said, "Dad has rarely traveled far, so he must be very happy to be able to go to Fanyang with me this time."

"I'm just worried that Tianbao Xiaoning is fine. He's enjoying himself so much that he doesn't want to leave. If I wasn't concerned about his reputation, I would have wanted to give him a warning."

"Dad is not a child anymore. He knows his limits." Li Shubai supported Qian Xiaoxiao and walked inside.

Tianbao had a very smooth journey. Apart from the time spent staying in the inn at night and having lunch, most of the time was spent on the journey.

Mrs. Mei was afraid that the three little girls couldn't bear it, so she came to ask them if they could bear it.

Tianbao and the others said that nothing was wrong and they had already gotten used to traveling.

Mrs. May still had blankets prepared to cover the carriage, as well as cushions to make them more comfortable.

After nearly four days' journey, we finally arrived in Fan Yang.

The Mei family had already given them the news in advance, telling them the specific time to arrive in Fan Yang.

So as soon as they arrived in Fan Yang, Mei Dalang and his wife, as well as the second master of the Yuan family and Yuan Jia and his brothers were waiting at the city gate.

"Second brother, Jiaer." Mrs. Mei was very happy to see her family.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are finally here."

"Uncle, aunt." Yuan Jia and his brother greeted Mrs. Mei and others.

Tianbao and the others also got off the carriage, and Master Yuan Er and the other members of the Yuan family quickly saluted Tianbao.

Tianbao smiled and waved, "Uncle Yuan, we meet again."

Master Yuan Er smiled and nodded, "Is the county lady doing well on the journey?"

"Everything is fine." Tianbao replied with a smile.

Master Yuan Er knew that they must be tired after traveling all the way, so he didn't talk about the past and quickly took everyone back to the Yuan family.

Yuan Jia, the eldest son of the Yuan family, was also a handsome young man. He had heard of the name of Ronghua County Master a long time ago.

Especially in the capital, Princess Ronghua's name is well-known and famous throughout the capital.

Even the places near the capital knew the name of County Lady Ronghua, which made the Yuan family certain of County Lady Ronghua's influence in the capital.

So when the Yuan family found out that the granddaughter adopted by the Mei family was on good terms with the county lord, they were very happy, not to mention that Ling'er also had a private relationship with them.

When they arrived at the Yuan family, Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan came out in person to greet Tianbao and others.

Tian Bao knew that they would definitely have another family recognition banquet. She smiled and looked at Madam Yuan and said, "I won't go to see the old lady yet. Xiao Ning and I will go to rest first and visit the old lady tomorrow."

Madam Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take the county lady and Miss Li to rest. We have already prepared the courtyard for the county lady and Miss Li. I don't know if the county lady likes it..."

Madam Yuan took Tianbao, Li Xiaoning and others away, and Li Jin also followed the second master of the Yuan family to the courtyard they had arranged for them to rest.

Madam Yuan Er held Mei Jingyan's hand and said, "Your grandmother has sent people to ask several times, and finally you are here."

Mei Jing'an smiled softly and said, "I'm sorry that you made grandma worried. It's my fault. I also miss grandma and my uncles and aunts very much."

Mrs. Yuan Er smiled and led her to the backyard, while Yuan Zengrou supported Mrs. Mei and followed beside them.

When they arrived at the hall, the Mei family had already gathered together. When they saw Mei Jing'an, Old Lady Mei waved to her to come over.

Hugging her tightly, he said, "You have suffered, Auntie, but now it has paid off. There are better days ahead.

It is because your adoptive parents treated you well that you did not suffer more... Don’t forget their kindness in bringing you up.”

Mei Jing'an nodded repeatedly, "Grandma knows."

Old Master Yuan sat aside and looked at Mei Jing'an with a loving face. He waited until she finished talking to Old Madam Mei before beckoning her to come over.

"Auntie, you've suffered..."

Mei Jing'an shook her head and said, "Grandfather, I didn't suffer at all. My adoptive parents treated me like their own children."

Old Master Yuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen are both very simple people. Their daughter Qiyue is already your family's adopted daughter.

You must really treat her as your daughter, maintain this relationship well, and don’t cut off contact.”

Old Master Yuan said this and looked at his daughter and son-in-law.

County Magistrate Mei and Mrs. Mei nodded repeatedly.

"Come, auntie, meet your uncles and aunts." Old Master Yuan introduced his son and daughter-in-law to her.

Madam Yuan pulled Mei Jingyan over distressedly and said, "Come and let your aunt take a look."

"Auntie, if you have anything you want in the future, just tell your aunt directly." Master Yuan said with a smile.

The gift that Madam Yuan gave to Mei Jing'an was a set of medical books.

Mei Jingyan accepted it happily.

The second and third wives of the Yuan family also gave her gifts.

Later she met her cousins. The Yuan family has many younger generations. The eldest branch of the Yuan family has two legitimate sons and two legitimate daughters, one illegitimate son and two illegitimate daughters.

The second branch of the Yuan family has one legitimate son, one legitimate daughter, one illegitimate son, and three illegitimate daughters. The legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Yuan family is Yuan Zengrou, Yuan Erniang.

The third branch of the Yuan family has two legitimate sons, one legitimate daughter and two illegitimate daughters.

Mei Jing'an had met Yuan Jia, the eldest son of the Yuan family. Faced with so many of her cousins, Mei Jing'an really couldn't remember so many of them at once.

Fortunately, Mrs. Mei asked her to prepare a gift in advance, a jade pendant for men and a hairpin for women.
