Chapter 487 Finally home

After they found a doctor for Mo Bao in Fengyang Prefecture, they originally thought that if they could find a job near the Fengyang Prefecture wharf, they could stay in Fengyang Prefecture for a while.

However, because Fengyang Prefecture is located between the two large prefectures of Jianyang Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture, and its area is relatively small, the dock built there is also relatively small.

There are relatively few shops on the pier, and relatively few ships docked there. In addition, there are even fewer shanty towns around, so it is difficult to find work.

So, after seeing that Mo Bao's health had improved, Hua Mancheng and the others boarded the boat directly and went to Qingyang Prefecture. When the boat arrived at the Qingyang Prefecture dock, it was already late at night.

It was raining heavily that day, and the clerk at the dock was lazy and not on duty, so Hua Lei and others did not find any personal information of Cheng Manhua on the population list.

After Hua Mancheng and his friends arrived at the Qingyangzhou wharf, they found a cheap farmhouse to stay at near the wharf. They also found work in the charcoal kiln of the wealthy Mr. Chen in the town.

Because the charcoal kiln and the wharf are in two completely different directions, Hua Mancheng and Cheng Linsheng usually don't come to the wharf. That's why they didn't see the notices Hua Lei posted at the wharf and the shantytown.

Although the work of Hua Mancheng and Cheng Linsheng in the charcoal kiln was hard, the pay was still good, so Hua Mancheng planned to work for a few more months and return to Tongde Town after the New Year when he had saved enough money for the trip.

However, what he didn't expect was that his daughter and son would come all the way from Shangjing City to find him with a vague back. And they actually found him.

After hearing about her parents' story, Hua Lei felt sad, but also felt fortunate. Fortunately, the county magistrate of Changwen County still had a conscience. Not only did he not kill Hua Mancheng, but he also secretly helped him.

And that Grandfather Ni could be called the benefactor of his parents. Without Grandfather Ni, his parents might not have survived these years. Therefore, he was even more attentive to Ni Daya and Mo Bao.

Twenty days later, the boat arrived at Yuanying Manor, where Aunt Fu and Aunt Song had been waiting for several days.

When they saw Hua Mancheng and Yun Siwan, tears began to flow down their cheeks. They helped Yun Siwan and Ni Daya to get ashore carefully, while Uncle Fu and others followed behind with their luggage.

After a short rest at the farm, Hua Lei took Hua Mancheng and the others and took a carriage back to the Hua residence in Yongning Lane. After so many years and such a long journey, Hua Mancheng and Yun Siwan finally arrived home.

In the kitchen of the house, a sumptuous dinner was already prepared. Qingying and Qinglian had already tidied up the room.

After another round of confusion, everyone sat around the dinner table. Rong Jin, who had already returned to Shangjing City, heard the news that Hua Lei was back, and came directly to Hua's house after finishing his shift. As for Xiao Yuan in the Imperial College, Hua Lei also asked Qing Cheng to bring him back.

Looking at the clean and tidy house, the table full of delicacies, and the smiling faces of their daughter and son, Hua Mancheng and his wife cried with joy. Looking at their handsome son-in-law Pei Rongjin, Hua Mancheng and his wife were even happier.

After the family happily ate dinner, Hualei asked her parents and Cheng Linsheng and his wife to rest early. Although riding a boat is more comfortable than a carriage, it is also very tiring after a long time.

Seeing Hua Lei returning safely, Rong Jin also returned to the Marquis' Mansion with peace of mind. However, the next day, he sent Qingzao to send the mansion's doctor Xu to the Hua residence and asked him to take the pulse of everyone in the Hua residence.

Although Hua Lei was tired, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her body. However, at Rong Jin's insistence, she still asked the doctor Xu to take her pulse, and was then forced to take Chinese medicine for ten days.

Seeing Rong Jin's concerned look, Hua Lei accepted it. Of course, this time Hua Mancheng and Cheng Linsheng also prescribed some medicine to regulate her body.

After a day of rest at home, Hua Lei went to work at the Silin Bureau the next day, regardless of Rong Jin's dissuasion. Career is Hua Lei's unremitting pursuit, and she doesn't want to lose her job casually.

Anyway, my parents have been found. During this time on the boat, I have almost done everything I should say and understand. As for other details, I will wait until I have a golden rice bowl firmly grasped.

A seventh-rank county magistrate almost caused his father to lose his life. As a fifth-rank deputy envoy and a Beijing official, he is not in any danger of losing his life. Isn't this a golden rice bowl?

Rong Jin sighed with heartache at Hua Lei's insistence, and personally sent her to the Silin Bureau. He also personally sent her to the government office, as if he was afraid that Hua Lei would get lost.

It had been nearly two months since she last visited the Silin Bureau. Hualei not only did not get lost, but she became even more anxious on the road. She was also very considerate and brought a gift to each of her colleagues and superiors in the Silin Bureau.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that Lord Yu was short of money, he cancelled his leave. After giving Lord Mo a gift, he happily returned to his seat and began to seriously deal with the files piled up on his desk.

Hua Mancheng and his wife at home did not rest peacefully. Instead, they asked Aunt Fu to prepare a gift and took Cheng Linsheng and his wife to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion to pay a visit to Lord Pei and Madam Pei.

Lord Pei and Madam Pei originally thought that since Hua Mancheng and his wife had traveled for such a long time and had just arrived in Shangjing City, they would definitely need to rest for a few days before coming here.

Unexpectedly, he came the next day, and he was very happy. Facing the kneeling ceremony of Hua Mancheng and his wife, Lord Pei refused several times, but after it was useless, he accepted the ceremony with peace of mind.

After presenting valuable gifts to Cheng Linsheng and his wife and Mo Bao, everyone sat down. The maid brought tea, and several people sat in Songhe Hall and started chatting.

During this period, Grandmother Pei wanted to mention Rong Jin and Hua Lei's marriage several times. After all, Rong Jin was already 22 years old after the New Year, and although he had already been engaged to Hua Lei, Grandmother Pei also wanted to marry Hua Lei home as soon as possible to get rid of the important matter in her heart.

However, thinking that Hua Mancheng and his wife might also consider Rong Jin, Madam Pei swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Unexpectedly, Hua Mancheng took the initiative to bring up the marriage of Rong Jin and Hua Lei.

It turned out that when they were on the boat, Hua Lei had already told her parents about how the Marquis' Mansion had taken care of her siblings over the years, and how Old Marquis Pei and Old Madam Pei had treated her.

Hua Lei also felt deeply for Rong Jin's waiting, tolerance and love.
