Chapter 254 Return to Dongchen
"Uncle! I do this half for you and half for my mother." Du Wanwan's face was very calm, without any excitement. "It's really not easy for my mother. She fell from a high position and was able to be content with the current situation. Only she knows the hardship she has gone through."
Ye Tingxiao also sat down and sat next to Du Wanwan. The two of them sat on the left and right, hugging Du Wanwan in the middle.
"Yes, your mother really had a hard time." Yao Xianqing felt guilty when talking about his elder sister. "During the palace coup, your uncle and mother were taken away by two ministers in the court. We haven't seen each other for decades."
Fearing that he would be too sad, Du Wanwan changed the subject: "Uncle! If Dongchen falls into your hands, you must promote agricultural production and ensure that the people can have enough food and clothing.
Whether it is the technology of making white sugar or anything else, it can be passed on to the people of Dongchen unconditionally."
"Okay!" Yao Xianqing paused, then laughed, "Once your uncle is settled, I will send someone to pick you up to Dongchen. By then, you, the princess who protects the country, must think of some ways to make money and protect the people of Dongchen from starving."
Ye Tingxiao stood aside without saying a word, just listening to the conversation between the nephew and uncle.
"It's a pity that my uncle has to go back to plan big things. I will get married in the first month of next year. Uncle! Please give me your blessings first!" Parting is sad, and Du Wanwan didn't want to say those sad words.
"You're getting married?" Yao Xianqing looked at his niece, then at Ye Tingxiao, a little anxious, "Why so soon? Can you wait until later? Wait until your uncle makes you the Princess Protector of the Nation before you get married? That way your status will be different."
"No, no, thank you uncle!"
Ye Tingxiao thought, I finally got it, how can it be postponed? His mother has already chosen a date, and he has waited for a long time. If it is postponed, when can he marry his Wanwan?
Du Wanwan herself didn't care too much: "Uncle! I married him not because he is the son of Pingyang Marquis, but because of who he is. Similarly, he married me because of who I am, and he wouldn't mind my identity."
Yao Xianqing looked at Ye Tingxiao across from him: "Is what Wanwan said true? Ye Tingxiao! Remember this, if you dare to betray my Wanwan, I will definitely come from Dongchen to kill you."
"Don't worry, uncle! If he dares to betray me, I will be the first to kill him."
Du Wanwan said this with great dominance.
This made Ye Tingxiao laugh out loud: "Yes, yes, if you dare to betray my Wanwan in this life, there is no need for Zhongyuan to live."
Thinking back to when they were testing guns on the mountain, Yetingxiao said Wanwan was a fairy from the ninth heaven, and Yao Xianqing couldn't help but soften his expression.
"Ye Tingxiao! You are so lucky to marry my Wanwan. You must have prayed for her in your previous life. You must cherish her."
Looking back at his beloved, Ye Tingxiao was satisfied: "My uncle is right, so I cherish him very much."
"Alas!" Yao Xianqing sighed deeply, "It's a pity that my uncle came in such a hurry and brought nothing with him. Your uncle can't even give you anything for your wedding."
Before these gold and silver treasures appeared, he might have thought it was quite impressive to give Wanwan tens of thousands of taels of silver as a dowry. But after seeing these things, he felt that giving Wanwan silver was an insult to her.
They have plenty of things, so why do they need him to give them more? In order to escape, they didn't take anything out of the palace.
I never expected to meet my elder sister when I came to Liangjun City this time, and I didn’t bring any good things with me. I just brought some silver for purchasing goods.
"Uncle! Life is long, let's talk about it after you've accomplished your goal." Du Wanwan changed the subject, fearing that Yao Xianqing would be unhappy because of this matter. "I'll take you to Nantong Commercial Bank tomorrow. No matter how much the other party offers, just agree to it. Don't be reluctant to part with the money, the musket is more important."
"Hey! Uncle knows."
After the three of them finished their discussion, they stood up, blew out the candles, and walked out of the yard.
Du Wanwan left Du Xiaoer here to guard the house, and also asked Huang Goujiu and his team to join in to ensure the safety of the items in the house.
Yao Xianqing watched, and was shocked. Wanwan actually trained her own unique team. It was both secretive and able to complete the mission.
When they returned to the People's Clinic, Yao Meixian and Du Jiang were still awake and waiting for them.
Du Wanwan was taken to the roof by Ye Tingxiao to sit on it again. Even though it was late at night, he liked to hold his Wanwan in his arms and watch the stars up there.
When Yao Xianqing saw his elder sister waiting for him, he felt warm in his heart, but at the same time he felt sad when he thought that he would leave tomorrow.
"Sister! Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you waiting for me?"
"Yes! Why did Wanwan ask you to go out?" Yao Meixian's eyes sparkled, "Did she give you something good?"
Following Yao Meixian into the house, Yao Xianqing nodded: "Yes! Good stuff. Sister! I'm going back to Dongchen tomorrow."
“So soon?”
Yao Meixian's eyes darkened and her nose felt slightly sore. Although she knew that they would be separated sooner or later, she didn't expect it to come so soon.
Du Jiang was afraid that Yao Meixian would be sad, so he comforted her: "My brother has something to do at home, so he has to go back early. When he has dealt with it, we can stay with him for a while."
"Brother-in-law is right. The things Wanwan gave me are very important and must be sent back as soon as possible."
Yao Xianqing's nose also felt sore. They had been separated for too long. After finally getting together, they had to say goodbye again. It was really hard for them to feel sad.
But no matter how painful it is, you have to endure it. There is no other way. The ancestral heritage has not been taken back yet, so you have to go.
"Okay! I understand." Yao Meixian didn't ask her brother what his daughter had given him. She didn't want to ask, "When are we leaving tomorrow?"
"Not sure yet." Yao Xianqing never lied in front of his sister. "Wanwan said she wanted someone from Nantong Commercial Bank to take me back because she was worried that the road might not be safe."
"This is the best." Du Jiang expressed his opinion on the side. "The mountains are high and the waters are long. We can rest assured if someone escorts us. Wanwan always considers everything she does, and the people at Nantong Commercial Bank are familiar with her."
Yao Meixian felt more at ease: "Nantong Trading Company is owned by people from Southern Xinjiang. Wanwan knows the Ninth Princess of Southern Xinjiang. It is indeed safe with their escort. What about the goods you want?"
"Not needed for now." Yao Xianqing proudly told Yao Meixian, "Wanwan said that after I finish my work, she will go to Dongchen to teach the production technology in person.
The things she gave me are more valuable than the goods. Our Wanwan is so smart. Sister! You gave birth to a good daughter! Even I am lucky enough to benefit from it. When I get the things from my father and mother, I will send someone to take you back. "
"Okay! I'll wait." Thinking of her parents' tragic death, Yao Meixian shed tears, "I'm very happy that I can go back to pay homage to my father and mother in my lifetime."
Du Jiang handed Yao Meixian a handkerchief and said, "Why are you crying? This is a good thing, don't be sad. If you are sad, your brother will feel bad too. If we are happy, we should smile, not cry."
Yao Xianqing looked at Du Jiang's actions and smiled: "Sister! Actually, you are quite happy in this life. Your brother-in-law treats you very well."
