On the road again, the team grew even bigger.
There were six people in the group, a dog, a fox, a parrot and a pair of white tigers.
It is really eye-catching.
However, this kind of "attention" only lasted until they left the royal capital and were halfway to Kagge. Heiyun and Xuerong led the newly joined pair of white tigers for a walk in the desert, and when they came back, only Heiyun was left.
"Miss Wei, how about we go out and look for her?" Wang Lu put down the roasted sweet potatoes in his hand, stood up and asked.
Without waiting for Wei Yunlan to respond, Zou Yun pulled him back and said, "Just eat your food. Miss Wei knows what's going on."
Wei Yunlan was naturally not in a hurry to find the pair of white tigers and the little fox that had followed her all the way. She naturally had her reasons.
In short, you can’t lose it!
Wei Yunlan smiled without saying anything. The journey to Kagage was particularly smooth. Wei Yunlan had the token given by Ji Yun on her. No matter which city under the jurisdiction of the Qimeng Kingdom she arrived in, the city lord would give her some face.
However, in fact, Wei Yunlan did not encounter any difficulties along the way without taking out the token.
Although the Qimeng Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated, under the governance of the current king and queen, everything is in good order, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. They are much happier than the people of Dayong who are living in dire straits.
Arriving at Kagge, we found that this place is indeed the place where sweet potatoes are most abundant.
The sandy loam land along the road was planted with sweet potato seedlings, which had not yet been harvested. They arrived at the perfect time, just when the potatoes were ripe.
Wei Yunlan negotiated a deal with a local farmer in Kagge who held the title of baron and asked for a full 200 acres of potatoes and 10 acres of soil.
Of course, not all the soil in the ten acres of land was dug away, but only the soil about four or five feet deep on the surface was dug away.
As a deal, Wei Yunlan paid a gold hairpin and a pair of ceramic vases.
These were all stocks brought out from the warehouse of Jinyang Marquis Mansion in the past.
It is equivalent to a no-cost transaction.
However, I think that if the ancestors of the Jinyang Marquis' Mansion who hoarded treasures in the warehouse knew that what they once accumulated could be exchanged for enough food for so many people, they would feel gratified in their netherworld.
It is better to use it to exchange for food and give back to the people than to let the unfilial descendants squander it all!
…
Just as Wei Yunlan was loading piles of potatoes into the space.
In the capital city of Dayong, in the mansion of Marquis Jinyang, things were being transported out in carts.
There were ten carriages in total, loaded with the remaining assets from the various small storehouses in the Jinyang Marquis's Mansion, as well as the treasures accumulated over the years in the private storehouse of the Marquis's wife Qin's own dowry.
She was reluctant to take it out.
But Duke Liu's Mansion was in high spirits, and they were ready to sue the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion and have His Majesty strip them of their titles.
The only solution for now is to let Duke Liu’s Mansion calm down first!
The Marquis of Jinyang, who had not returned home for many days, had also returned home in the past two days, using the excuse of going hunting in the suburbs with friends.
Facing the pressure from Duke Liu's Mansion, he seemed to have aged more than ten years in just two days.
Even in the "villa", his beloved baby was called by someone twice, but he was unable to spare the time to go and take a look.
The carriage drove out of Xuanwu Street and stopped in front of the Marquis' Mansion, and was completely out of sight.
Qin covered her chest and said reluctantly, "My Lord, that was the dowry my parents gave me when I got married... The jade Buddha inside was specially ordered by my mother to be brought back from the Xishan Temple thousands of miles away at a huge price."
"Mrs. Liu, the Duke of Liu, likes to worship Buddha." Marquis Jinyang stopped Qin with just one sentence.
The one who died because of their Jinyang Marquis Mansion this time was the little son that the Duke's wife gave birth to, with eyes as big as pearls, and doted on.
Duke Liu holds a prominent position, and the influence of his wife's family should not be underestimated.
Among those who heard that Lady Liu was furious and wrote to the emperor to implore him to strip him of his title of Marquis of Jinyang was Lady Liu's nephew, who is now a pillar of the court and holds the position of Shangshu.
I just hope that Lady Liu, the wife of Duke of Liu, can show mercy and let the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion go for the sake of the Jade Buddha.
"After taking these things, can they really let us go?" Qin murmured.
If that's the case, then these things are worth giving up.
Even now, their Jinyang Marquis Mansion is really penniless. Of the treasures stored in the palace, only one in ten remains.
The money in the account was all tied up in shops that were not making any money, but were even losing money.
Qin looked at Marquis Jinyang expectantly.
Marquis Jinyang shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid it's impossible."
Some material possessions compared to a life.
It will become clear what is more important.
After all, Duke Liu's family is wealthy and powerful, and it doesn't seem like they would lack such a little thing.
"Sending these things is not to smooth over this matter, but to let Duke Liu's Mansion see our attitude. In any case, we should solve this matter privately and not bring it to the emperor. Just let the emperor take care of it." Marquis Jinyang did not dare to say more about the rest of the words.
What he wanted to say was that the person sitting on the throne now was not a reasonable person and was most likely to act on impulse.
The Prince of Duke Liu has a close relationship with this man. Don’t let the Prince of Duke Liu instigate him a few more times, otherwise his title will be lost. The great contributions made by their ancestors of the Marquis of Jinyang on the battlefield will be easily wiped out!
If that were the case, he would have no place to cry.
"My Lord, what should we do then..." Qin asked anxiously.
Seeing Marquis Jinyang turning around and looking at him, he avoided his gaze somewhat guiltily.
Others may not know, but doesn’t she know it herself?
She cannot escape the responsibility for the unjust death of the young master of Duke Liu's mansion.
But of course, she doesn't think the responsibility lies entirely with her. It was Xue Linglong's fault for not reminding her that there were some particular things to pay attention to when storing that new thing called cake.
No!
It’s blameful that Xue Linglong insisted on opening these shops in the first place!
Not only do they have to pay compensation, but now they have to sacrifice their century-old foundation of the Jinyang Marquis Mansion.
As the saying goes, one should marry a virtuous woman.
When Wei Yunlan was the wife of the Marquis of Jinyang's son, there were not so many troubles in their Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion. Not only that, the Wei family also provided a lot of help to the Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion when things happened.
Look at Xue Linglong now!
She does not follow the rules and often talks back to her mother-in-law. That's fine, the most important thing is that since marrying Xue Linglong, their Jinyang Marquis Mansion has been unlucky and has suffered many disasters...
As he was thinking this, he saw Shen Feng hurriedly walking out from the backyard.
Qin grabbed his sleeve and said, "Son, divorce that woman!"
"Mother?" Shen Feng was stunned.
Marquis Jinyang sighed, "Feng'er, you don't have to listen to your mother. Divorcing your wife at this time will be bad for the reputation of our mansion if it gets out."
"However, you must personally send Madam Xue to Duke Liu's residence tomorrow. Have her kowtow and apologize to the young master of Duke Liu's residence and the Liu family in the mourning hall."
