By the time everyone finished their exercises, it was already dawn.

Now it has become a habit for everyone to do exercises. After doing them, they feel full of energy and have endless energy.

Shen Ping ate a white flour bun, a pancake, and drank a bowl of multi-grain porridge, then burped with satisfaction.

"Mom, when do you plan to come back this time?" Erya asked.

Hearing Erya's question, the whole family looked at Shen Ping.

"It's hard to say. It may take half a year at the slowest, or three or four months at the fastest!" Shen Ping was not sure either, as she would have to go to the capital by then.

The journey to the capital was long, and even if we hurried, we could only cover a few dozen miles in one day. If the weather was bad, the journey would be delayed.

Even if the man didn't rest, the horse would have to rest. Besides, it was cold now, so the speed would definitely be slower than usual.

When they heard Shen Ping say it would take so long, everyone fell silent. Their mother had never been away from them for so long before, and now she was leaving so suddenly, and they were really not used to it.

"Mom, we are not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself." Mrs. Wu wiped away her tears.

"Don't worry, I still have Cuihong and Tiechui with me. They will take care of me!" Shen Ping comforted.

"Yes, Tiechui and I will definitely take good care of the madam, you can rest assured." Cuihong looked serious.

At this moment, she felt as if she had grown up in an instant and had become responsible.

Hong Gu watched from the side, feeling both relieved and a little sad.

The good news is that the girl has grown up now and knows how to take care of others and take good care of her master. This is what a servant should do.

The lady did not treat them as slaves, but as family members, which touched their hearts. They even regarded the lady as their savior.

The sad thing is that from today on, this girl will leave her and go far away.

Although her daughter said she would take care of the Madam, Hong Gu also knew that by then, it might be the Madam who would take care of them instead.

After all, Tiechui and Cuihong are not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. They have little life experience and are impulsive when encountering things.

However, she felt at ease letting them follow Madam, because she knew that Madam also knew kung fu, but she kept it very secret.

However, she knew that this trip was still dangerous. Although the lady said on the surface that she was going to the capital to investigate the market, she knew that the lady's ultimate goal must be related to the second brother-in-law.

She had heard a little bit about what was going on in the court, and although she didn't know whether it was true or not, there was always smoke without fire. No matter what, she still hoped that they could return safely.

If possible, she wanted to take her daughter's place and stay with the lady.

But the lady said that she had entrusted the Zhang family to him and his wife, and asked them to take care of the family in Kaoshan Village.

After the New Year, they will arrange for a few maids to prepare the hatchery. Then they will have to hatch chicks again, expand the breeding scale, and radiate the breeding plan to the surrounding villages.

In addition, when the spring plowing season comes, all the work in the fields will depend on Dadong.

She knew that this was also a heavy responsibility, so she had no choice but to agree to it in order to let her wife go on a long journey with peace of mind.

"Erya, mother is not around, you have to take good care of yourself." Shen Ping held Erya's hand.

Erya lowered her head and nodded repeatedly.

"Aunt Hong, Erya is entrusted to you. You must take good care of her until she gives birth." Shen Ping turned her head and looked at Gu Hong.

"Madam, don't worry. Dadong and I are looking after the house, so you can rest assured!" Hong Gu looked solemn.

"Dachun, Sanchun, and the eldest brother's wife, you brothers and sisters should discuss the matters of the workshop together. Remember to ask He Yao and your grandfather if you have any questions." Shen Ping looked at Dachun and Sanchun.

"Mom, we understand!" Wen nodded.

Dachun and Sanchun also nodded heavily. In the past, when their mother was around, she was the one who made the decisions on everything.

Now their mother was leaving them for a long journey, leaving the workshops to them to manage, and they suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.

But they also know that this is a matter of time. Their mother will grow old, and they will shoulder the heavy responsibility.

"Mom, why don't you take Liu Ya with you! I also want to see the capital city." Liu Ya blinked her eyes, full of longing for the capital city and curiosity.

I always heard my grandma say that there was an emperor in the capital, who was in charge of thousands of troops, and there were also fairies living in the palace.

"I want to go too~"

"I want to go too~"

Lele and Qiaoqiao also interrupted.

Seeing how excited his brothers and sisters were, Xiao Hai also shouted excitedly: "Xiao Hai is going too~"

Now, Xiaohai can speak a few words, but his words are not very clear yet, but his basic expressions can still be understood.

Shen Ping couldn't help but feel happy. A house full of children and grandchildren, this was the kingdom she had worked so hard for. Now, apart from Erya, she had to worry about nothing else.

Being a mother is like this, thinking about your children in everything. Shen Ping has now completely taken on the role of mother. If she had some resistance before, she now enjoys it.

Wuchun curled his lips and snorted coldly: "Sixth girl, don't dream. Mother will take me and never take you. Don't worry, when I pass the exam and become the top scholar, Fifth Brother will take you there."

When Liu Ya heard Wu Chun's first sentence, she was immediately discouraged. After hearing the second half, her eyes lit up again: "Fifth brother, then you have to work harder. You must help me pass the imperial examination and take me to the capital."

Everyone was immediately happy. Children are really easy to please.

At the dinner table, Shen Ping, Dachun and Sanchun explained some things to them and reminded them that the quality of the oil from the oil mill must be well controlled.

In addition, Shen Ping told them that she wanted to rent a mountain to grow green tea.

He also said that when the time comes, Sanchun will fully cooperate with Zhang Tiezhu in terms of funding, and he will have the final say on the hiring of personnel.

Mother always keeps her word, and they know she has her reasons for doing so.

Besides, they really don't know anything about planting, and they are not interested in drinking tea. If my mother gives this to them, they will be a burden.

Now it's handed over to grandpa to manage. As long as I keep an eye on the financial aspects, this can be done, Sanchun nodded.

Then, Shen Ping reminded Dachun: "Dachun, this stew shop is slowly getting back on track, but we can't let our guard down.

Listen more to market feedback. As for taste, you can make slight adjustments according to different regions. If you have any questions, discuss them with your eldest brother and his wife.

Also, when the time comes to purchase the live chickens raised by the villagers, you must strictly follow the contract. This first batch of chickens is especially important."

Shen Ping was worried about Dachun because he didn't like to discuss things with Wen and always acted on his own, and Wen couldn't control him.

"Mom, I understand." In order to stop Shen Ping from nagging, Dachun quickly agreed.

Wen glanced at Dachun and knew what he was thinking, but she couldn't say it in front of her mother.

"You must remember what your mother said. If you don't listen to your wife, be careful that I will come back to deal with you!" Seeing Dachun's perfunctory attitude, Shen Ping frowned.

Then he said to Wen, "My dear wife, I am not at home now. You are the eldest and have to take care of the family. And Dachun, you have to take care of him. If he doesn't listen to you, tell me when I come back."

"Mom, I understand." Wen nodded, feeling a huge pressure.

"Okay, Mom, it's getting late. You should go out now, right?" Dachun changed the subject.

If Dachun hadn't said it, I would have really forgotten. Shen Ping asked Cuihong and the others to pack some dry food, asked Tiechui to feed the horses, tidy up a little, and get some drinking water, and then they would be able to set off.
