Not long after, Boss Ye came back with a happy face and said, "Mom, we really met an important person!
"Madam Qin said that we don't need to sell ourselves into slavery. We just need to accompany them all the way and escort them to the capital!"
"Really? That's great!" Old Mrs. Ye was also very happy. She quickly ordered her son and daughter-in-law, "Hurry up, don't stay here, pack up quickly, don't waste other people's time!"
The Ye family quickly packed their luggage and came to the city gate with their families.
The Qin family had already finished their meal, and the convoy was ready to set off. They were queuing at the city gate waiting to enter.
The Qin family's motorcade consisted of eight carriages, and Mrs. Qin and Young Master Qin naturally rode in the best carriage.
As soon as Ye Laosan saw the carriage, his eyes widened.
The entire carriage is made of nanmu wood and painted chestnut color.
The axles are made of elm wood produced in Dongjinshan, and the roof is coated with waterproof tung oil.
The two horses pulling the cart also had smooth fur, and were obviously good horses.
This is not something that ordinary rich people can afford.
Following closely behind were three oil carts pulled by mules.
Originally, the maids and servants of the Qin family were sitting there.
Now he had specially cleared out one car to accommodate several servants who had been injured in the previous collision with the refugees.
The last four mules were all pulling open wagons, which were filled with large camphorwood boxes, tied tightly with ropes and covered with rainproof tarpaulin.
The Ye family has always lived in the village. They are honest and hardworking country people and have never seen such a wealthy family.
Seeing that other people's luggage carts were better than their flatbed carts, the boys from the Ye family became much more obedient.
Even Guo, who was always noisy, became much quieter, for fear that she would say something wrong and offend the noble.
Old Mrs. Ye asked her son to park the flatbed truck at the end, and then took her family to thank Mrs. Qin.
Seeing that she was old, Madam Qin kindly said, "Old lady, you are old. If you don't mind, why don't you squeeze in with my two maids and ride in the car together!"
"Thank you, Madam Qin!" Old Madam Ye thanked her repeatedly and took Qingtian from Mrs. Ye's arms. "Qingtian is weak, I'll take her in the car."
Mrs. Ye was a little worried and whispered, "Mom, why don't you forget it? Madam Qin only asked you to take the car. Would it be disliked if you brought a child with you?"
"I'll just dress Sunny in some extra clothes. She won't be cold."
Old Madam Ye said, "It's okay. Qingtian is so small and light. She won't take up much space if I hold her.
"Besides, our Qingtian is so well-behaved, who wouldn't like her? How could she possibly be disliked?"
Old Mrs. Ye carried Qingtian into the second car and greeted the two maids, one fat and one thin, in the car.
Qingtian also said in a baby voice: "Hello, Mammy!"
"Oh, you're so good!" The fat nanny touched Qingtian's little face and took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into her hand. "Eat candy!"
Qingtian didn't answer the call and turned to look at Old Mrs. Ye.
Seeing that Old Lady Ye nodded, she thanked the fat nanny and accepted the candy.
Seeing that she was holding the candy but not eating it, and instead kept looking out of the car, the thin nanny asked curiously, "Why don't you eat it?"
Old Madam Ye understood Qingtian's thoughts immediately and said with a smile, "She's thinking about her brothers!"
"Oh, how old is he and yet he's so sensible?" The fat nanny was surprised.
"Even though he's only three and a half, he never eats alone," Old Lady Ye proudly praised Qingtian. "Even if it's a piece of cake, he always lets his brothers have a bite each."
Everyone loves a well-behaved child. The fat nanny immediately grabbed several more pieces of candy and gave them to her, saying, "Good child, before the convoy leaves, go and share some with your brothers."
Qingtian filled her little hands with candies and thanked the fat nanny sweetly.
The thin nanny didn't say anything at this moment, but just kept looking at Qingtian.
When Old Madam Ye carried Qingtian down to share candies with her grandchildren, the thin nanny couldn't help but nudge the fat nanny with her elbow and whispered, "Look at this little girl. Doesn't her face look a bit like that girl's?"
"Who is it?" The fat nanny didn't react for a moment.
"Who else is it? It's naturally our wife's elder sister, the one in the palace!"
"Shh!" The fat nanny quickly made a gesture to silence the voice. "Don't mention this now! It would be terrible if the lady heard it!"
As soon as Old Lady Ye got out of the car with Sunny in her arms, Boss Ye quickly ran over from the end of the line and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Qingtian immediately stuffed all the candy in his hand to Boss Ye: "Dad, candy, give it to brother!"
"Okay, Dad will share some candy with the brothers." Boss Ye took the candy, peeled one, put it into Qingtian's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is it sweet?"
"Sweet!" Qingtian held the candy in his mouth and squinted his eyes happily.
Although the Ye family has no shortage of food and drink recently, sugar cubes cannot grow from the ground and can be said to be a very rare snack.
Boss Ye took the candies back and distributed them to his five nephews, which immediately won warm cheers from the children.
"This was given to Qingtian. She asked me to share it with you."
"Sister is so nice!"
Each of the five children held a piece of candy in their mouths, their mouths bulging with satisfaction and smiles on their faces.
Mrs. Guo watched from the side, her saliva watering with envy, but at least she had some dignity and did not compete with the children for food.
Ye Lao Si watched intently from the side and immediately whispered to her, "After we settle down in our hometown, I will go out and find a job. I will earn money to buy you some candy."
"You said it, I remember it!" Guo finally smiled a little.
As they were talking, it was finally the Qin family's convoy's turn to enter the city.
Old Mrs. Ye was sitting on the mule cart holding Qingtian. There was no longer any biting cold wind that made it hard for her to open her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that her family had been so lucky recently.
On a sunny day, I leaned against the window and watched with curiosity as the mule cart slowly passed through the city gate.
The two flatbed trucks of the Ye family followed at the end of the convoy. When they passed through the city gate, the surrounding refugees all cast envious glances at them.
The children are young and there is only curiosity in their eyes.
The adults all felt a sore nose and hot eyes.
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but sigh: "We've already entered the customs!"
Boss Ye nodded and said, "Yes, we have entered the customs!"
The Shan Lao Da and his wife, who had been secretly following the Ye family, were dumbfounded.
Mrs. Shan couldn't believe her eyes and reached out to pinch Boss Shan hard.
"Ouch, you damn bitch, why are you pinching me?"
"Boss, am I dreaming? Why did the Ye family enter seclusion?"
"You ask me, who should I ask? I really want to know!" Boss Shan's eyes turned red with jealousy.
The towering Shanhaiguan is like an insurmountable natural barrier, separating the Ye family and the Shan family at the two ends of their destiny.
