The people from Yu Lanxuan were very efficient. They carried the two wild boars into the yard and weighed them in a short while.
Seeing that the two wild boars weighed a total of 803 jin (approximately 200 kilograms), Xiao Lingyu said, "Manager Wu, I'll count it as 800 kilograms for you, which makes a total of 80 liang (approximately 200 kilograms)."
Wu Linshun gritted his teeth secretly. Su Xingyi had never exchanged eighty taels with him at once before.
Wu Linshun smiled and said, "Madam Su, please wait a moment. I'll go to the accounting office right away. You guys should quickly deal with it and send it to the ice cellar."
"Okay, boss."
Soon, Wu Linshun came out with a purse and handed it to Xiao Lingyu, "Madam Su, here are eighty taels, please keep it."
Xiao Lingyu counted them carefully, and after checking them to the last detail, he stuffed them deep into his sleeves and put them into the space. He pinched his sleeves tightly and said,
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu. Next time we find prey, we will send it to Yulanxuan."
Don’t do that!
Wu Linshun had a hunch that if he made a deal with her, he would gain nothing but would easily get himself into trouble.
Wu Linshun thought so in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Then I will wait for Madam Su to come with the good stuff. Come with me to have dinner."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Ning'an and said, "My eldest son is a big eater, so let Shopkeeper Wu pay for it."
Only then did Manager Wu remember the good-for-nothing from the Su family. It was really a mistake.
Shopkeeper Wu groaned inwardly, as there was no profit to be made today and he even had to pay out of his own pocket.
He wanted to cry, but the smile on his face remained unchanged as he touched Su Ningan's head and said, "Since you are here, I must make sure you eat and drink well."
Half an incense stick later, Su Ning'an touched his bulging belly, burped, and left Yu Lanxuan.
"Two brothers, please go back first. I still need to buy some things, so it will take me some time."
Song Dazhu and Yu Tieshan looked at Su Ning'an at the same time. They didn't help at all at Yu Lanxuan today, and staying would only make things worse.
"Madam Su, please don't delay too late. You won't be able to rent a car at the city gate if you're late."
Before the two left, Xiao Lingyu spent forty cents to buy two portions of osmanthus cake and asked the two to send them back to the children in advance.
After Xiao Lingyu watched the two of them walk away, he took Su Ning'an's hand and walked towards the car.
"Mrs. Su, where are you going?"
Xiao Lingyu looked back and saw Lin Kun escorting Miao Xiantong out of a restaurant, which was Luyuan Qionglou.
"Master Miao, I plan to go to the carriage shop to rent a carriage. I will be coming to Xishui County to make a living, and I cannot do without a means of transportation."
Miao Xiantong didn't expect that after not seeing the Princess Protector of the Country for a day or two, she looked much better than when she was at the inn. She was not affected at all by the Su family's situation. She was worthy of being the granddaughter of the old Duke Protector of the Country, and she was very flexible.
But where would she get the money to rent a car?
"Madam Su, why are you and your son coming to the county today?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "Yesterday I was lucky enough to find a wild boar on Wufeng Mountain. This morning, some kind villagers helped bring it to the county town and exchanged it for some silver."
Miao Xiantong was surprised and asked, "Madam Su, did you really find it?"
Xiao Lingyu touched Su Ning'an's head and said, "What a coincidence! The boss and I witnessed with our own eyes a wild boar hit a tree, fell down the mountain, and fainted."
Miao Xiantong thought this was unlikely. "Madam Su, if I had known earlier, you should have come directly to the county government office to exchange for the wild boar. I could have given you a good price."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Then next time we are lucky enough to find prey, we will go to the county government office to exchange it immediately. You must give us a good price."
Miao Xiantong smiled and nodded, "No problem, I will definitely give Madam Su a good price when the time comes."
"Thank you, Master Miao. It's getting late, and we need to hurry to the car dealership to rent a car."
"Madam Su, wait a minute."
Miao Xiantong thought that the money he got from selling a wild boar might not be enough to rent a carriage.
Old Duke Xiao was a veteran of three dynasties and had made great contributions to Beiyi. It was unfortunate that he was implicated in the struggle for succession in his later years.
He is not a disciple of the Xiao family, but the descendant of a meritorious official should not be treated like this.
Xiao Lingyu asked in surprise: "Master Miao, do you have anything else to say?"
"Madam Su, renting a car from a car dealership is not insured and is rather cumbersome. The county government has an idle carriage that you can use first. When you earn enough money, it won't be too late to pay the rent."
Xiao Lingyu was thinking about making a living in Xishui County in the future. The emperor might revoke the title one day, so she needed to maintain a good relationship with the county magistrate so that if she encountered difficulties in the future, she would have someone in the yamen to help her.
"Thank you very much, Master Miao. However, I would like to know how much you are willing to pay for renting the carriage."
Miao Xiantong said, "Madam Su, this carriage is already unused. I'll rent it for a year for ten taels of silver, but you have to make sure you take good care of the horses."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Master Miao, don't worry. I promise to take good care of the horse. Shall we go to the government office now?"
Afterwards, Xiao Lingyu took Su Ning'an and got on Miao Xiantong's carriage and rushed to the county government office.
When they arrived at the county government office, Miao Xiantong took Xiao Lingyu and Su Ning'an to the front hall, and then ordered Lin Kun to go to the backyard to get the carriage.
Su Ning'an greeted Xiao Lingyu and followed Lin Kun to the backyard with his own thoughts.
Soon, the maid brought hot tea and filled it for Xiao Lingyu and Miao Xiantong in turn, then left politely.
"Madam Su, please have some tea."
"Thank you, Master Miao."
Xiao Lingyu picked up the teacup and took a sip, thinking that the two ingredients, chili and tomato, could be taken out and planted in the villages around Xishui County through Miao Xiantong.
Give Lord Miao some political achievements so that the relationship can be gradually consolidated.
However, it is not the right time yet. She needs to grow it herself first, and then hand it over to the court after earning money.
