Chapter 202 A peasant married a princess
Kang Dawei was a little embarrassed: "There is money in the account, but that is what I saved for your wedding. If I spend it all, what will happen to your wedding?"
"Hehehe!" Du Wenjun smiled slyly, "I will ask my parents to give me the money myself. Uncle Kang! Don't take this matter to heart for now, just settle the people in first.
As always, we first asked everyone if they wanted to bring their families with them. If they did, we would register the number of people in the family so that we could plan what kind of house to build.”
“Hey!”
Kang Dawei nodded with red eyes. This Mr. Du was truly selfless. He had been busy on the farm for so long that he even used the money he had saved for his wedding to build new houses for everyone.
It is a blessing for him and his brothers to meet such a benevolent master.
The matter was settled. In the evening, the people selling marinated ingredients came back. Kang Dawei led them to Yetingxiao's yard and took out all the things inside.
Rice, flour, vegetables, pots, pans, water tanks, rice tanks, goldfish tanks, stone tables, stone chairs, and stone pavilions were all pulled out several times.
All the food and utensils in the kitchen were sent to the cafeteria, and other things were piled up in an open space. The wardrobes, beds, cloths and other things were all put into the warehouse.
The warehouse was filled to the brim, mainly because Du Wanwan took out a large portion of the cloth that she had collected in Jing County before.
She felt that the cloth was just right for the people on the farm. There was no point in her keeping it. With just a few people in her family, they couldn't wear all of it at once.
I gave some away last time and there are still quite a few left. I kept a few this time and gave away the rest.
That thing takes up space, so it would be nice to put it in the warehouse on the farm so that they can consume it all.
When Du Wenjun got home in the evening, he told Du Wanwan about the things happening on the farm and finally asked, "Sister! Please go to the farm and take a walk! Help me see what those mountains can do.
There are more and more people, we have to find a way for them to survive. They are all retired soldiers who defended their country, we can't let them starve!"
Du Jiang agreed: "Wanwan! Your brother is right. Let's close the clinic tomorrow and go to the farm to have a look. If we can find a way out for them, it will be a great favor."
Yao Meixian looked at Du Wanwan and said, "When I was hiding from place to place, I met many kind people. Now that we have the ability, we will help as much as we can."
Hiding from place to place? Du Wanwan heard a key word and asked in confusion: "Mom! Why did you hide from place to place back then?"
Du Jiang was also puzzled: "That's not right! Didn't your grandfather say that you came to our village to beg for food because of a disaster in your hometown? Could it be wrong?"
Yao Meixian's face froze. She looked at her son, daughter, and the man, then stuck her head out and looked towards the second floor. Du Wenguan, Du Wenhuo, and Du Xiuxiu were reading and writing upstairs, and she could not hear their voices talking downstairs.
Since it was revealed unintentionally, Yao Meixian didn't want to hide it. Sooner or later, she would have to explain her life story to her children.
Yao Mei lowered her voice, looked at Du Wanwan, and slowly said, "Wanwan! Mom didn't come to Dujia Village to beg for food. Mom fled to Dujia Village to avoid being hunted down."
"Escape from being hunted down?" Du Jiang exclaimed. Du Wanwan looked at him and immediately covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you say that before?"
The shock in Du Wenjun's eyes seemed to solidify. Since his mother was avoiding being hunted down, her identity must be extraordinary. He suddenly felt very curious. Could it be that his maternal grandparents' family was a very prestigious family?
Du Wanwan did not ask further questions, but waited for Yao Meixian to speak. From the way she named Du Xiuxiu, it can be seen that her mother is not an ordinary ignorant peasant woman.
Yu Hanyan, the ninth princess of Southern Xinjiang who fled famine with the other people at that time, once joked about this, saying that her mother was very talented in literature and her sister's name was very nice.
"That's because you never asked." Yao Meixian sighed and slowly recounted her life story, "I'm not from the Great Wei, and my grandfather is not my biological grandfather. He is the Grand Tutor of the Dongchen Kingdom and my mentor.
When I was ten years old, my family suffered a tragedy. My younger brother was rescued by his mentor, and I was sent to the Taifu Mansion. After that, I tried my best to escape, and I escaped from Dongchen Kingdom and came to Dawei.
After living in hiding for several years, Taifu knew that his health was getting worse, so he took me to Dujia Village and found an honest family for me to marry.
Although Du Jiang didn't know much about official positions, he knew that anyone who could have a mentor like Taifu must be the daughter of a wealthy family. No wonder his parents liked his wife so much, maybe they knew something.
No wonder his Wanwan is so special, is this the intelligence she inherited from her grandfather?
"Mother! If my guess is correct, you are the princess of Dongchen Kingdom?"
Du Wanwan's expression was very calm, but her words made Du Jiang and Du Wenjun in the room change their expressions.
"Princess?" Du Jiang staggered and fell to the ground in shock. "Wan Wan! You, you, you, are you telling the truth? Your father, a peasant, married a princess of a country?"
Du Wenjun quickly pulled his father up from the floor, helped him sit on a stool, and asked his mother Yao Meixian in surprise.
"Mom! Is what my sister said true?"
Yao Meixian smiled bitterly, her eyes slightly red: "I am the impoverished former princess. My real name is Yao Xiansong, and I have a brother named Yao Xianqing who is four years younger than me. My sister and I are the legitimate daughter and son of the former queen.
Royal Concubine Nguyen Thanh Bi, together with her brother, the leader of the Dongchen Palace Guards Nguyen Thanh Chien, and her second uncle Prince Yao Jinglu, forced the emperor to abdicate and usurped the throne. They killed my father, mother, and queen. I was only ten years old that year.
At this point, Yao Meixian closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. Du Jiang tried to comfort her, but Du Wanwan raised her hand to stop him.
She shook her head slightly, asking Du Jiang and Du Wenjun not to act rashly. Mother had been holding back for too long and needed a chance to vent her emotions.
After a moment, Yao Meixian calmed down: "Five years later, the prince died suddenly, and the throne of Dongchen fell into the hands of the son of the imperial concubine. My brother, your uncle has not been heard from since.
Later, we were getting farther and farther away from Dongchen, and the tutor died in a foreign land. The news from Dongchen was completely cut off, and I had no idea what the situation was like now.
Wanwan! Will my background affect your marriage? I have never dared to tell you, for fear of causing great harm to you. But when I saw that you had decided to marry the son of Pingyang Marquis, I hesitated for a long time whether to tell you or not. "
Holding Yao Meixian's hand, Du Wanwan comforted her: "Mom! Your life experience will not affect me and Ye Tingxiao. If he is really afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, it's better for my daughter not to marry him."
"That won't work." Ye Tingxiao's voice floated in from outside, and he followed in, "Mom's background has nothing to do with our marriage, Wanwan! You can't break your promise all the time."
Du Jiang, Du Wenjun, and Yao Meixian all looked at Ye Tingxiao, as if asking, "When did you come? How much did you hear?"
