When they reached the city gate, they tied up their carriage near a teahouse and waited. Even after the sun had risen, no one showed up. They drank countless pots of tea.
"Miss, they wouldn't really run away with our land deeds, right? They haven't come for such a long time." Xiaohua sat by the side, feeling a little anxious.
Chunxiao was also anxious. "No hurry, wait a little longer. If it doesn't work, we can find another way."
Just when they were about to give up, someone came to find them. It was already past 3 p.m.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Yan?" The person who came was not one of the deliverymen before, but since they were asked, they must have been called over.
Chunxiao stood up quickly and said, "Old man, my last name is Yan. Are you from the horse industry?"
The old man smiled and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Yan. I'm from the horse industry." He took out two pieces of paper and handed them to her. "This is your land deed and your city entry permit. You can go in."
"Great." Xiaohua cheered happily, "Miss, we can go in now."
"There are people waiting for me at the door, so I'll leave first."
"Goodbye, old man!" Chunxiao held the certificate and smiled at Xiaohua, "Come on, let's go in and find an inn to take a shower and change clothes."
"Ma'am, you and I are thinking alike."
With the proof, the two quickly entered the city and drove their carriage to an inn to settle down.
As soon as they arrived at the inn, they took a shower immediately. It was such a hot day and they felt uncomfortable after being covered up all day. They took a nice shower. After the shower, Xiaohua asked the waiter for a basin to wash clothes.
"It's better to take a bath, Miss. We can't return to the manor until tomorrow. I think Fengyue City is pretty normal. Why is it sealed off?"
Chunxiao also wanted to know, "I'm going out for a walk, you wait for me at the inn." She wanted to find out some information, so she went to a nearby teahouse.
Although I have drunk enough tea today, chatting is the best place to get information.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, everyone in the lobby looked at her. It was not for any other reason, but because the teahouse was full of gentlemen. There were women too, but very few, and they were their families.
There's a saying that goes, "As long as you're not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed." She sat down in a corner, not quite in a corner, and asked the waiter to bring a pot of tea. Seeing that she was actually drinking tea, everyone stared at her without getting bored. They went back to their own conversations.
There wasn't much useful information, but I did hear that there was indeed war at Mo Cang Pass.
She didn't understand, she really didn't understand. Hadn't there been a battle going on there all along? Otherwise, why would the army be stationed there? This was all a long time ago, so why did the situation become tense now? It was all her fault that she really didn't understand the current situation. The so-called ignorance is bliss, and this is probably what she is like.
In order to gather information today, she didn't even go to the farm on the outskirts of the city. As a result, she didn't feel that she heard much useful information. She returned to the inn with a little disappointment and had a good rest in the inn for a night. The next morning, they actively went to the farm on the outskirts of the city.
Xia Shiyi was so excited when he saw her, "Boss, why are you here? Isn't Fangzhou Prefecture closed? I thought you were definitely not coming."
"You know Fangzhou Prefecture is under lockdown?" Chunxiao looked at him. "Do you know why? They say it's because of the war, but I don't see much change here." Chunxiao glanced at the people working in the fields. "They've already started harvesting the wheat."
"Yes, we are harvesting wheat these days. I heard from the villagers that Fangzhou Prefecture was sealed off. We don't go out much, so we don't know the news from outside. We don't know why it was sealed off. Anyway, it doesn't affect this place."
Knowing that they were like this, Chun Xiao was curious about how they knew. "How was the grain harvest this year?"
Speaking of the grain harvest, Eleven smiled. "The day before yesterday, I weighed the harvest of one mu of land, and it was over 260 kilograms, which is about the same as the wheat field over in Pengdong. Boss, should we harvest the grain and sell it? I was thinking that you wouldn't come, so I'll go ask Ersan after I finish harvesting."
"Put the tax grain aside, save the seed grain, and slowly shell the rest and store it in the warehouse. Don't buy it for now."
Chunxiao spent a day wandering around the farm. Many of the farmhands in the village were not familiar with her. After seeing Shiyi accompanying them to ask, they found out that she was the owner of the farm. They then became very respectful. She also asked a few managers and was very satisfied with the management of the granary.
"Have you been to Guanshan Manor? How is the cotton planting going there?"
The managers of the manor all shook their heads. "He hasn't been here since he was assigned here. He only comes to check on us every now and then. He hasn't been here in about two months. He must be too busy over there."
"You haven't come for about two months?" Chunxiao was a little surprised. This was a bit strange. It shouldn't be like this. As a person in charge of the grain harvest, he should at least come to check it out.
She was very uneasy about why he hadn't come for such a long time, so she decided to go to the walled village tomorrow to see if anything had happened there.
Thinking of this, I couldn't sleep well in bed at night.
Early in the morning, she set off with Xiaohua, looking like a panda.
"Miss, did you not sleep well last night?"
"Thinking about Zhuangzi, I couldn't sleep for a while, but then I fell asleep, and it was dawn." In short, I didn't sleep well.
"Why don't you just lean against the carriage and sleep for a while? We still have several hours to go."
Chunxiao said no, but soon she fell asleep against the wall of the car. Xiaohua noticed this and was afraid of shaking her, so she slowed down the car. As a result, they didn't arrive at the village until 3 p.m.
