Chapter 84 I Want to Break Off the Engagement
Many people from Huojia Village came to say goodbye to Du Wanwan's family. They had been together for several months along the way, and now they had to separate suddenly. Everyone felt bad.
"Dalang! When you have time, come visit us in Huo's Village."
"Yes, yes, yes, your whole family must come. Don't be so formal with us, you are from our Huojia Village."
"If I have a headache or fever in the future, I will come to you, Dalang! Thank you for helping our family along the way."
"Da Lang! If you have any good job in the future, you must help me. I still want to work with you." The captain of the village protection team lowered his voice and said what he was thinking, "Uncle may not be able to do other things, but I can definitely run errands."
Du Wanwan nodded: "Don't worry! If I need anything, I'll come to you first!"
"Hey! Then uncle will remember it."
The captain of the village protection team was beaming with joy. He knew in his heart that as long as Du Dalang agreed, this matter would most likely be accomplished. Although she was a girl, she always kept her words and deeds and kept her promises.
When she heard that Du Wanwan would not go to Huojia Village and settle in the county town, Huo Qingxiang felt so sad. How could she, a peasant girl, settle in the county town?
Even though she was the daughter of a scholar, she could only settle down in the village.
Humph! She no longer cares about the position of concubine of the Prince of Pingyang. She wants to be the princess of the Sixth Prince of the Northern Kingdom. When she becomes successful in the future, she will definitely come back and trample Du Wanwan under her feet.
Du Wanwan didn't know Huo Qingxiang's hostility towards her, and even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. What if she was the princess consort of the Sixth Prince of the Northern Kingdom? The mountains were high and the road was long. Why did she come to the Wei Dynasty to kill herself?
If she really married into the Northern Kingdom, she could not come to the Wei Kingdom easily.
After saying goodbye to the people of Huojia Village, they went their separate ways. The people of Huojia Village went to the resettlement village of Xiaoyaoling Village, while Du Wanwan's family was taken by Ye Shiyi to the most prosperous street in the city.
The house that Yetingxiao arranged for her was right on the street. There were two shops in the front and a two-story backyard where people could live.
When they arrived, Ye Shiyi took Du Jiang to apply for a new household registration, while Yao Meixian took the children to clean up their new home.
Actually, there was nothing to clean. The house was very clean, inside and out. The furniture, beds, bedding and everything were all there.
It’s just that the materials used are not very exquisite, which is in line with their status.
Du Wanwan looked around and felt that the people under Ye Tingxiao were very capable, which was good. If the things were too exquisite, it would make people feel uncomfortable.
Ye Shiyi took Du Jiang to handle the household registration. It was a special matter and the process was completed quickly. He was sent back, still dizzy.
It felt like I was drunk and walking on clouds, which was unreal.
Knowing that they had just arrived and were busy with something, Ye Shiyi said a few polite words and left.
Du Wanwan felt that he was very capable and shouldn't let him run around in vain, so she asked Yaya to bring out three bottles of oral liquid for her. There was no water in them, they were empty.
"Thanks for your help. It's just a small token of my respect."
After taking the small bottle of oral liquid from Du Wanwan, Ye Shiyi was so happy that his mouth stretched from ear to ear and he said thank you several times in a row.
He had seen this thing on Ye Ye Er and Ye Yi Er. It was small and exquisite. They even had someone make a decoration for it and wore it on their chest. This small glass bottle was not only a decoration, but also a practical item. You could put something inside by removing the soft stopper.
Ye Yi showed off to him several times, and he said that even if he was given fifty taels of silver, he would not be able to buy it. He envied him to death. He did not expect Miss Du to give him such a good thing as soon as she came. When Ye Yi came back, he would also show off to him.
Not only do they have glass bottles, he has one too!
Seeing the man running away happily, Du Wanwan smiled knowingly. Her daughter Yaya's habit of collecting things is actually quite good. It is the ultimate way to utilize waste.
Those thousands of small glass bottles of oral liquid were enough for her to reward people.
Ye Tingxiao returned to Kyoto with the silver bills and guards. He was safe and sound along the way. However, when he arrived in Kyoto, he did not rush home. Instead, he directly arranged for someone to investigate the matter of the silver bills, and then made an appointment to meet Prince Ouyang Jing outside the city.
The Emperor of Wei is forty-one years old and has five sons.
The eldest prince Ouyang Qing was named Prince of Qi. He was the eldest son born in the Qiandi Palace. It was said that his biological mother was deeply loved by the emperor. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and died of hemorrhage during the birth of his second child.
The second prince is the current queen’s son. He is the legitimate son and has a noble status since birth.
The queen gave birth to two daughters before and the third child was the crown prince Ouyang Jing.
The third prince Ouyang Yuan was named King Heng. His biological mother was a beauty and her rank was not high.
The fourth prince, Ouyang Rui, was named King of Yue, and his birth mother was Consort Shu. The fifth prince was still young, only six years old.
The prince was born into a noble family, and it goes without saying that he would be the emperor in the future. But the eldest prince Ouyang Qing was unwilling to accept this, as he was the eldest son, but he had no chance of becoming the emperor.
In addition, with no one to rely on from his mother's family, he had to find another way to fight for the Wei world.
Ye Tingxiao and the prince studied together in the Imperial College since childhood, and they had a good friendship as classmates. In addition, the prince Ouyang Jing was respectful to the wise and humble, so the two had a strong personal relationship.
He has already found out who is behind the Baofeng Bank, and it is the white glove arranged by the eldest prince. The silver bills seized from the envoy are actually all issued by the Baofeng Bank, which is worth pondering.
Looking at the 200,000 taels of silver notes that Ye Tingxiao gave him, each of which had an imperceptible pattern on it, the prince fell silent.
Finally, he placed the banknotes on the table and said, "Zhongyuan! These banknotes alone cannot prove anything. Big brother will not admit it."
Zhongyuan is Yetingxiao's pen name.
"I know." When they met in private, Ye Tingxiao and the prince never engaged in hypocritical etiquette. They liked to be straightforward. "I just want to remind you to pay more attention to the eldest prince in the future. This incident has sounded the alarm."
"You are right." The prince picked up the banknotes again and stuffed them into his arms. "Leave this matter to me. Are you coming back this time to marry the daughter of the Minister of Rites?"
"No, I want to cancel the engagement." Ye Tingxiao never hides anything in front of the prince, "She and I have no feelings for each other, and there is not much meaning in being together."
"Cancel the engagement?" The prince was shocked. "Zhongyuan! What's your reason for cancelling the engagement?"
Ye Tingxiao kept it a secret: "Keep it secret for now, you will know when the time comes."
The prince was worried about him: "The Minister of Rites has been very close to my elder brother in the past two years. You want to cancel the engagement without sufficient reasons. I advise you not to act rashly.
I know my eldest brother very well. He looks cheerful but is actually sinister inside. He is a real smiling tiger. He also likes to protect his subordinates and help them stand up for themselves. "
"It doesn't matter!" Ye Tingxiao didn't care. "I came back to cancel the engagement. Don't worry! I have made up my mind about this matter. I have a way to make the Yang family cancel the engagement on their own initiative."
The prince became interested: "Let Yang Yurong take the initiative to cancel the engagement? What nonsense are you talking about? Yang Yurong has always taken this marriage very seriously. In addition, she is arrogant by nature. How could she be willing to take the initiative to cancel the engagement? What exactly do you want to do?"
