Chapter 32 Opening the Fish Pond
As soon as the dried fish was processed, Wang Gang and the officials urged everyone to start their journey. They didn't have a chance to rest until they reached the next resting place.
"Okay, let's set up camp here tonight and get ready to rest."
Following Wang Gang's shout, everyone began to scatter around looking for a suitable resting place. Bonfires were set up in each household. After a hard day's work, everyone was exhausted. The sounds of snoring and steady breathing soon filled the resting places.
Cheng Weiyao woke up at dawn. The female members of the family were sleeping together, with the Imperial Concubine on her left and Wen Liyu on her right. Both of them were light sleepers, so Cheng Weiyao's consciousness entered the QQ Farm in order to avoid waking them up.
As soon as she entered the farm, Cheng Weiyao saw a wooden barrel shaking next to the land. That was the barrel she used to hold fish fry. They were all small fish, so where did she get so much strength?
Cheng Wei Yao raised her eyebrows and walked closer to find out what was going on. As a result, a fish jumped out of the barrel and the tail of the fish almost hit her in the face. The barrel was full of lively river fish, all competing for the limited water resources.
It seems that time passes really quickly on the farm. Overnight, the fry have grown a lot. At this rate, it won't be long before they can be harvested.
Cheng Weiyao opened the farm's points interface, wanting to see which level of the fish pond could be unlocked. Unexpectedly, the points increased a lot. It seemed that Wen Chengyun was secretly trying to improve his favorability!
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully opening the fish pond. The points redemption directory has been updated. Please check it carefully."
The mechanical sound of the system appeared in my mind, and the originally dry fish pond next to the land was gradually filled with water, and soon gathered into a clear pond.
"It really is what you think."
Cheng Weiyao curled her lips slightly, picked up the wooden bucket and poured all the river fish into the newly opened fish pond. The fish soon began to sway in the water, and the whole farm seemed to have taken shape.
"lady?"
Wen Chengyun's voice suddenly rang in her ears. Cheng Weiyao opened her eyes suddenly and found that her side was empty. Wen Liyu and the Imperial Noble Consort had already packed up.
"Why did you call me so late? I hope it won't delay our departure. The officials will have something to hold against us."
A look of annoyance appeared on Cheng Weiyao's face. Although QQ Farm was good, it had one drawback: when entering, the perception of the outside world would be greatly weakened.
"Madam was exhausted last night, so I didn't have the heart to wake her up. It's not too late now, and the officers won't say anything."
Wen Chengyun didn't expect Cheng Weiyao to suddenly open her eyes. After all, her breathing sounded steady and regular, and she was obviously sleeping soundly.
Cheng Weiyao glanced at the officers' faces. She didn't believe Wen Chengyun's words at all. Were they just letting him off the hook? It was obvious they were afraid to make a fuss because of Wen Chengyun's fighting prowess. If it were anyone else, they would have been kicked awake by now...
"Everyone, hurry up! Our next destination is the city. Count your belongings and buy everything you need. We still have a long way to go..."
After Wang Gang and several officers looked at the map, they shouted to everyone to line up and hurry on their way, reminding everyone of their destination. In fact, they were hinting that if they wanted to suffer less on the road, they should pay their due tributes.
"We don't have much money, so once we get into the city, we have to spend it sparingly. We still have a long way to go."
"We need to stock up on food. Dry food and biscuits aren't a long-term solution. The children are still growing..."
Most of the people who managed the finances were female family members, and they started to calculate carefully when they heard this. Cheng Weiyao blinked her eyes. She was a newly married woman, and she had never managed the finances of the Prince of Qingping's Mansion.
"This is all the money we have for the journey. We were in such a hurry to leave that we forgot to give it to you..."
The imperial concubine took out her purse and put it into Cheng Weiyao's hand.
The Prince of Qingping was exiled, and most of their properties were confiscated and used to manage the family. As a young princess, Ayu had never learned how to manage a household, so she kept the little money that was left with her.
I didn't take it out at the beginning because I was afraid that Cheng Weiyao couldn't bear the hardship and would run away halfway. Now that we are a family, it is natural for us to be open and honest with each other.
"Mother, please keep it. I still have some dowry to support me. If I run out of it, I can ask you for more."
Cheng Weiyao took a look at the purse and sighed that the huge royal palace was not as rich as herself in the end. The wealth she had robbed from the Duke's Mansion piled up in the warehouse of the farm was really shining!
It's a pity that most of them are gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are not easy to show openly...
Cheng Weiyao refused, and the Imperial Concubine did not force her. However, her favorability towards Cheng Weiyao increased. Such a good daughter-in-law would be hard to find even with a lantern...
"I still have some change here, madam, to help with the household expenses."
Wen Chengyun gently stuffed a small sachet into Cheng Weiyao's hand. He relied on Cheng Weiyao for everything along the way, from earrings to bracelets. Even if he pretended to be poor, he couldn't bear it.
"Thank you, husband."
Cheng Weiyao accepted it, thinking it was just a cover for her own money.
As soon as she thought about it, she entered QQ Farm. While others were thinking about how to save money, Cheng Weiyao was thinking about how to make some money.
There are many gatherings in the town, with a large flow of people and strong purchasing power. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune. After taking a look at the redemption page, Cheng Weiyao set her sights on those fruits with the best value for money.
The farm's redemption page has prices ranging from high to low, and a full range of categories. However, with your current points, instead of exchanging for some expensive but small quantities, it is better to exchange for the best varieties in the ordinary categories.
Although Red Fuji apples and Golden Pears are common types of fruits, they have a high audience rate and are easy to sell.
The points that Cheng Weiyao had worked so hard to save were all used up after a wave of redemption. She was still a little unsatisfied, but she unexpectedly discovered that the points could be exchanged for gold coins.
The gold coin purchasing interface had few items, just medicines and cotton and linen items. Cheng Weiyao felt that she would not be able to use them for the time being, so she closed the page.
"Rest by the river, walk a little further, and prepare to enter the city."
The officers shouted, signaling everyone to stop and rest, and Cheng Weiyao also retreated from the QQ Farm. As she approached the river, she thought about washing the wild vegetables she picked yesterday and making porridge later.
Everyone set off in a hurry, almost on an empty stomach. After being exiled, in order to keep up with the journey, they had irregular meals, sometimes hungry and sometimes full. It was a good opportunity to rest in the town to nourish their stomachs.
With this thought in mind, Cheng Weiyao left the group of women and walked to the river alone. This scene was seen by those who cared...
