Chapter 712: Golden Marigolds

"Haha, I know very little about this. After all, I have been in the valley all year round. I have only heard of their general names. The six major families in Luojing are "Bu", "Lian", "Zhao", "Ye", "Bi" and "Bu". But Jialan, you don't have to take these families too seriously. There are so many geniuses in the world nowadays. These families are only famous because they have produced celebrities in the past. You don't have to worship them too much." Granny Gro was afraid that Luo Lanhill would be frightened by the names of these heirloom families, so she explained in detail.

"Now the dynasty recruits scholars from all over the country, no longer dominated by aristocratic families as in the past. It was over three hundred years ago that the emperor who revived the dynasty eliminated the advantages and disadvantages, suppressed the aristocratic families, and even defeated several major sects that had tried to make peace with him. This is how the aristocratic families and these major sects were separated. And speaking of which, the Moon-Sacrificing Taiyin Palace also disappeared during this transformation."

"However, these noble families are descendants of great achievements after all, so it's not easy to kill them all. This would chill the hearts of their old comrades. After seeing that they no longer acted like troublemakers, peace gradually returned to the dynasty and the hostility stopped."

Just as Loran Hill was asking Granny Gro about some official positions and institutions within the dynasty, Bu Moyin was also quickly observing in the valley.

After she was rescued by Loran Hill last night, the ghost in her body was easily dealt with by Loran Hill, so she did not suffer any external injuries and was able to move freely at the moment.

Seeing these Youchi people walking around in the valley noisily, trading and talking, there seemed to be great interest in his eyes, but due to time constraints, Bu Moyin asked the girl next to him.

"Caiwei, is this valley usually so lively?"

"No, no, no, this is actually a very rare situation. After all, there are not many places in Yanluo Mountain where barley can be grown. If everyone gathers here, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death." The girl waved her hands hurriedly.

"Starved to death? How could that be?" Mo Yin looked incredulous. This young lady who had grown up in Luojing with luxurious clothes and food naturally found it difficult to understand that a large-scale famine could occur in the dynasty.

"That's right." Caiwei's voice was also a little low.

"Sister Mo Yin is from outside, right? What kind of life do people out there live..."

"This..." Although Bu Moyin knew the situation outside, he didn't know how to explain it to the girl at the moment, because she had never seen many of the nouns and things, so she naturally couldn't understand them.

....

"......Hey, what is a fish, Sister Mo Yin?" After hearing this, Mo Yin began to gesture and describe it.

...

"Wow, it's so beautiful, and it has a shiny shell." Caiwei's eyes flashed with wonder.

"No, it's not a shell. How should I put it? It's a scale, just a small piece, stacked together." Mo Yin had to explain again, and at this time she gradually discovered that although there were many people in this valley, the variety of their goods was extremely poor, and there were only a few things coming and going.

Black barley, black hemp, simple metal utensils, etc., apart from black, it is difficult to see any other colors.

...

"Have you always lived like this?" Looking at the skinny and dry-skinned figures on the roadside, the woman from Luojing finally felt a little sympathy.

"Yeah, it's always been like this." Caiwei answered as a matter of course.

"But isn't this too pitiful..." She looked at the dry, unpalatable and hard black barley cake in her hand, and felt a little sore in her cheeks after chewing it.

"Why do you say it's pitiful? Actually, Caiwei thinks this is very normal." The little girl looked puzzled.

"Uh..." Mo Yin was speechless for a moment, unsure how to explain it, or whether he should even say it. In the end, he could only sigh silently.

"Well, I'm full. Thank you, Xiao Caiwei. I'll bring you something delicious next time. Well, how about the goldfish cakes from the Luojing Autumn Moon Lantern Festival?"

"Although I don't know what it looks like, I'd like to thank Sister Mo Yin first." Caiwei nodded with a smile.

Looking at the innocent smile of the girl in front of him, Bu Moyin suddenly felt a sense of responsibility and mission slowly falling on his shoulders. Perhaps this was the reason why she gave up her comfortable life and joined the Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion.

"Well, let's say goodbye here first. I have to go back this time to find some help for everyone." Bu Moyin finally stopped patrolling the valley.

"Yeah." Caiwei just thought that her sister was speaking in a normal way.

"Then it's settled."

The sun gradually rose into the sky, and some of its sunlight shone into the valley. Bu Moyin finally waved goodbye to Caiwei and walked towards the shrine.
