Wei Yunlan put on her clothes and got out of bed, "Sister-in-law, I'll go over and take a look too."
Most of the people in the village gathered at the door of the village chief's house. When Wei Yunlan arrived, he saw the Liang family's servants leading a ewe out of the village chief's yard.
Gao and Wei Mingxuan were at the innermost part of the crowd. Wei Yunlan couldn't squeeze through, so he found Manager Wang who was also standing on the periphery.
It turned out that the youngest son of the village chief was working in a nearby town. When he heard that a group of officials seemed to have gone to Liwang Village, he asked for leave from the foreman at daybreak and rushed to the village.
As a result, they met a caravan coming from the west halfway. As they were in a hurry to continue their journey, they wanted to sell the cloth and livestock in the caravan at a low price.
The price was really low, so the village chief's son thought about it carefully and decided to buy all the goods. What he couldn't use for himself, he took to the village and town to sell.
In addition to the three milk-producing ewes, there were also three meat sheep, which had been divided up by several families who were planning to hold weddings in the near future.
The ewe was originally planned to be taken to the town to sell, but yesterday the Liang family, who were staying next door to the village chief, heard about it and came over to buy one for ten taels of silver.
Steward Wang lowered his voice and said, "I heard from his servants that when Lord Liang and Madam Liang's youngest son was at home, he drank a bowl of goat's milk cheese every day. He got angry after not drinking it for a long time. Now that we have a chance to get fresh goat's milk, we bought it immediately."
It is these ten taels of silver...
It is true that prices are being inflated. Even in Beijing, a ewe is only worth half of this price at most!
Fortunately, the village chief's family also knew that the price of ten taels of silver was ridiculously high. Unless the Liang family wanted to buy a second sheep, it would be impossible to sell it at this price.
The ewe sold to the Wei family was slightly smaller than the one sold to the Liang family, and only cost five taels of silver. Even so, it was at least 20% more than if it was sold in the town.
The village chief's son had never expected that the families of these convicted officials who were escorted into exile were so wealthy.
Seeing that two families had already paid for the purchase, they couldn't help but look eagerly at the other two families, especially the Feng family, which had a lot of children.
Mrs. Feng was not willing to spend this much money. Her family still had dozens of taels of silver, which was more than enough to buy a sheep. But the ewe that produced milk could not be killed or eaten. Not to mention that it would cause a lot of trouble on the road, she would only get a few bowls of goat milk every day. It was not worth it!
Old Madam Bai wanted to nourish her young grandson and great-granddaughter, but it was already extremely difficult for her family, including the elderly, children, women and children, to keep up with the team, so how could they have extra energy to pick grass and feed the sheep? The ewe was not something they could afford.
The crowd gathered at the door of the village chief's house dispersed, and Jie Guan walked out of the house, glanced at the Wei family members who were leading the sheep, and said in a calm voice: "No matter what you want to raise, if you dare to delay the journey and miss the handover time, watch out for your skin!"
There is still half an hour to go.
In order to prevent the ewe from going hungry on the road, the Wei family members all went up the mountain to collect fodder. Wei Yunlan finally found an opportunity and collected some wild fruits and fodder and entered the space.
She found these wild fruits by following the direction of the birds' flight in the forest. When she put them into the space, she was surprised to find that the things that were originally placed close to the edge seemed to have moved a little.
This time she thought it was not an illusion. After looking carefully, she found that it was not that those things had moved, but that they were getting farther and farther away from the edge of space.
This only shows one thing - her space has become bigger!
It turned out that there was already such a large space, but it was not yet complete. Wei Yunlan couldn't wait to see what the space would look like when it was complete.
If she had the chance, she would even like to ask a question at her great-grandfather's grave.
Does he know how magical that piece of ancient jade is?
He must have known about it, otherwise he wouldn't have given it out so solemnly as a birthday gift.
…
After collecting two large baskets of fodder, everyone hurried down the mountain before the servants urged them to go.
As the departure time approached, Wei Yunlan asked Suihe and Ningshuang to take Jiayan up the mountain first, while he lagged behind a few steps and stopped at the edge of the woods, "Team Leader Yu."
After a moment, Yu Qi gently fell from the tree and asked, "Miss Wei is looking for me?"
Wei Yunlan took out the banknotes that he had prepared long ago, "I don't know how much you spent on this matter, take these first, and tell me if it's not enough."
If there are more, it doesn’t matter. There are still many places along the way that rely on Tianshu Pavilion.
Now it seems that the money spent by Tianshu Pavilion is well worth it!
Yu Qi did not take the silver note handed over by Wei Yunlan.
"Miss Wei, you don't need to give me any more banknotes."
Could it be that Tianshu Pavilion still wants to do business at a loss?
Wei Yunlan looked puzzled, and then heard Yu Qi say, "Miss Wei, this sheep is a gift from the master to you."
"Your master... the head of Tianshu Pavilion?"
Wei Yunlan didn't remember having any contact with such a person. "Can I ask why?"
Yu Qi hesitated for a moment. The master didn't tell him what to say, but he also didn't tell him what not to say. "This is a thank-you gift from the master."
Wei Yunlan was confused after hearing this, but Yu Qi was unwilling to reveal more. He tapped his toes and his light figure disappeared from Wei Yunlan's sight again.
Wei Yunlan looked back at the woods, but could not make out where Yu Qi and her team of guards were hiding.
The people of Tianshu Pavilion are indeed extraordinary in skills!
I wonder what kind of talent the head of Tianshu Pavilion must be to have trained so many subordinates with extraordinary abilities?
In the previous life, Tianshu Pavilion only appeared in everyone's sight six years later when Princess Changping went to the Northern Barbarians to marry.
They specifically opposed the Imperial Concubine and the Second Prince's lineage and were not under the control of the imperial court. Even the Imperial Guards could not do anything to them.
