With the pot and rice, Tang Yue cooked a big pot of chicken and wild vegetables porridge.

After the beautiful youth finished his breakfast, he was preparing to leave. Tang Yue really wanted to follow them on their journey. Having more people, it was not boring and safe, but it was a pity that the other party did not plan to bring them along.

"Well, since he's a noble, maybe we'll meet again in the future." Tang Yue and Shan packed their stuff together and carried them onto their oxcart.

As they approached the oxcart, both of their eyes widened as they saw a horse tied to the oxcart. The horse had brown fur and a sturdy build. It was trampling all over the place, smashing all the flowers and plants around it into smithereens.

"What's going on? "Where did the horse come from?" Tang Yue circled around the horse, and laughed out loud: "Looks like it's the outer cold type, I like it!"

He asked Shan to change the cattle into horses. With a carriage, their journey would be much faster.

Shan looked at the horse in panic and shook his head, "No, no, my husband, if that nobleman really left this horse behind, it would be bad if we didn't ask him."

Tang Yue looked at him speechlessly, "Do you think that a group of people like that would forget about horses by accident? And it's even tied to our oxcart? " He stroked the horse's neck and warmly greeted it, but it spat on his face.

Seeing that Shan was still hesitating, Tang Yue said, "Don't hesitate, just return the horse to him in the future." It just so happened that he could use this excuse to come knocking on his door. He was too wise!

The mountain was used to being cautious, but he also felt that Tang Yue's words were reasonable. Once he returned to the Marquis's Mansion, he would inform the patriarch and the patriarch would definitely settle this matter.

With a horse in hand, their journey became much faster. Five days later, they arrived at the capital as well.

Tang Yue jumped off the carriage, and looked up at the tall city walls, the two big words in front of him lit up with light, even though he did not recognize any of them.

He was almost moved to tears. No matter what kind of place the Yueyang Marquis's Mansion was, no matter what kind of monster or demon his stepfather was, he would rather give it a try. No matter how difficult the days were, it was still better than a bumpy and bumpy road!

He was about to fall apart!

"Mountain …" Just as he was sighing, a half-grown child rushed towards them. With a stomp of his feet, he landed on top of the mountain and clung to him with all his limbs.

"Shan, you've finally returned. Once you're gone for half a year, I'll always be here waiting for you. I look forward to it day and night." The little boy choked with sobs as he recounted his thoughts.

Tang Yue was completely numb to his numbness, if not for the age difference between the two of them being too huge, Tang Yue would have thought of a romance about how mountains intersect and the world as a whole.

Shan patted his back to coax him before stripping him off. "Don't be rude. Come and greet your husband."

The boy came back to his senses from his joy and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow three times to Tang Yue. The action was so fast that Tang Yue was unable to stop it even if he wanted to.

"There is no need to perform such a great ceremony …" Your father is afraid of losing his life!

Tang Yue pulled them up. It seemed that he had to get used to people kneeling or else not only would he look weird, he would also be treated as a country bumpkin.

From the corner of his eyes, that brat took a glance at Tang Yue. He wanted to look but did not dare to do so.

Old men tended to have good feelings towards children. Tang Yue caught a handful of candy and stuffed it in his mouth before asking him for his name.

Along the way, Tang Yue bought a lot of things. Not only did he buy two sets of new clothes for himself and Shan, he also bought gifts for the adults and children whom he had never met before, spending all the money he had earned.

This candy was something he had bought when he passed by the last county. It was a bit like modern cow candy, with sticky teeth, sweet and greasy. It had a faint rice fragrance, but it was outrageously expensive.

"Slave …" "Slave …" The little boy stuttered for a long time, but he was still unable to say a complete sentence. His gaze fell on the candy in his hand, and his entire body began to tremble violently.

Tang Yue did not know that although the treatment of the servants in this era was much better than that of the servants in the slave era, they were only slightly better. The price was not even as high as a horse, and they could easily buy anything.

"He called for He." It was Shan who helped him out, and he said to Xiaohe with a straight face: "My husband is a kind man, so you should keep the things that you are rewarded for. Remember to be grateful."

"En!" He fiercely nodded, picked the biggest candy and stuffed it into the mountain's mouth. He chose the smallest one and licked it a few times, then hid it in his bosom as if it was a treasure.

"How sweet!" The old and young laughed until their eyes were almost gone.

Tang Yue secretly sighed, he was already middle-aged, his heart was softer than when he was young, and could not bear to see this scene.

However, he also knew that in this turbulent era of power, there were a lot more children with more hardships than this kid. He had seen a lot along the way, but he alone could not change much.
