"The wine you brew is quite good." Pei Xiyuan said, "How about ordering a thousand kilograms and shipping it to Yue Country?
"Of course, but I have to make it clear that the wine, silver and darts must be paid in full in advance." Ding Youtian said with a smile.
"Is this the rule for all merchants?" Pei Xiyuan frowned slightly.
"No, this rule is only for you Yue people." Ding Youtian was still smiling, as if it was up to you to buy it or not.
"How ridiculous!" another subordinate beside Pei Xiyuan said angrily.
"You can choose not to buy it. No one is forcing you." Ding Youtian nodded at Jian Ning and motioned her to leave.
When the bosses saw that they were looking for them to discuss business, they said nothing and just picked up their hoes and left.
"Buy it!" Pei Xiyuan said through gritted teeth.
"That's right. I don't mean to make things difficult for you. The journey is long. If you only pay the deposit and then refuse to pay the rest after it arrives in Yue Country, wouldn't that just cause trouble? I don't want to cause myself any trouble."
Jian Ning also said: "Our family is here, and we are not just doing business with you. We will deliver the wine to you after receiving your money, so you can rest assured."
“You don’t have to send it to Yue Country. Just set a delivery date and I will send someone to the border town to pick it up.
"Okay, come with us."
Pei Xiyuan asked Suo Wenzhen to stay and wait for Xiong Er and Meixiang. He took another subordinate to Jian Ning, handed over the silver note and set a delivery date. He handed the human tooth pendant to the subordinate and told him to immediately set off to return to Yue Kingdom to give the pendant to his mother, and then arrange for people to go to the border town to pick up the goods on the due date, and then bring the feedback from his mother to meet him in the capital of Yan Kingdom.
The subordinate agreed and went. Just as he left, Meixiang came over with Suo Wenzhen and Xiong Er. When they set off for the capital, Meixiang looked back at Jian Ning and Ding Youtian with a complicated expression.
"I didn't expect Meixiang to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix." Ding Youtian knew that Meixiang might be Pei Xiyuan's niece. He shook his head and smiled, "The world is really unpredictable."
"Don't you regret it? If you marry her, the Seventh Prince of Yue Kingdom will become your uncle, and you'll suddenly become a member of the royal family. It's not too late to regret now before she gets far away. Hurry and catch up with her."
"Really? Then I can go?"
"How dare you!" Jian Ning glared, "I'll break both of your legs."
"Do you want to break the pipe and connect it?" Ding Youtian asked with a smile.
"Guess what! Chop off Guoguo's two hind legs and attach them to you."
Huh? Guoguo jumped up in shock, his eyes widening. Seeing Jian Ning coming towards him, he immediately took off, running away at a very fast speed.
Jian Ning had only come to open the box and put the banknotes in. After she had put them in, she saw Ding Youtian preparing to go to the fields, so she stopped him and said, "I want to discuss something with you. I want to hire someone else. I can't let Jiajia and Yaoyao have fun like this anymore. Starting tomorrow, I'll go to the fields to work, and you stay home and teach them to read and write. What do you think?"
"No, I have to go to Beijing at the end of the month, so I don't have much time left. Let them have fun for another year or two. If they pass the imperial examination, we may not know where to live after the palace examination next March. You don't have to worry too much about them. How wild can a girl be? Besides, I can't bear to let you do farm work. Aren't you afraid that I will abandon you if you get tanned in such hot weather? We can talk about this later."
"Then please give me a hint when you don't want me anymore, and then I'll dump you first!"
"Get out!"
Ding Youtian laughed heartily and lifted the curtain as he left the inner room. Jian Ning then remembered that she had something else to say to him and shouted, "Come back."
"Go away, you can't come back!"
Jian Ning chased him to the outer room and saw him picking up a hoe from the corner and about to leave. He reminded him, "Catch some small white fish when you come back, dry them, and then fry them in oil. Take them to the capital for Ah Man to taste."
"It's not a good thing, why bother? There's nothing delicious in the capital."
"I'm willing to do it. If I ask you to, just do it. Why are you wasting so much time talking?"
"I won't do what you want, so I won't fish. What do you think?"
"What can I do? I'll just show you one look and then piss you off to death. Are you satisfied?"
Ding Youtian grinned and said, "What else are you dissatisfied with? Thank you for your help, madam. I will marry a beautiful bride later."
"Get out! Go sleep in the stable tonight!"
Ding Youtian took out his hoe and saw two people walking out of the yard with bags on their shoulders. The sunlight dazzled him and he didn't recognize them for a moment. Then he heard Chang call out, "Sister Yue'e?"
"From the fourth family, sister Yue'e and her brother are here!" Chang raised her voice and shouted again.
Jian Ning came out after hearing the news. "Why are you two here? Come on, come inside and rest for a while. It's so hot outside. Come inside and sit down."
Yuechan knew how to do farm work. Seeing Ding Youtian holding a hoe, he took off the bag on his shoulder and handed it to Yuee, then reached out to take the hoe from Ding Youtian's hand and said, "I'll help you with the work."
Ding Youtian didn't bother to be polite. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, if you don't mind, come with me to the pond to fish. It's a good thing you're here so we can catch more. Otherwise, I'll have to sleep in the stable tonight."
He laughed and led Yuechan to the pond.
"What happened? Aren't you staying at Huo Jincheng's place? Why are you back suddenly?"
Jian Ning asked after pulling Yue'e into the house.
"Young Master Huo kicked my brother and me out and won't let us live with him." Yue'e smiled, looking extremely happy. "The Saint asked my brother and me to come back to your place and wait for her news."
"Is Ah Man really your Saint?"
"Um."
"Didn't your Ganao tribe change its name to the Guoxiong tribe?" Jian Ning wanted to ask her why she didn't go back to the Guoxiong tribe directly to wait for Ah Man, but she was afraid that she would be suspicious and think that she didn't welcome them as siblings.
"Those are no longer our true people. My brother has been there. Their customs are completely different from ours. We must create a true tribe belonging to us, the Ganao people."
"Will Ah Man's father let her go with you?"
Yue'e shook her head. "He drove us out because he knew our intentions. But a Saint is a Saint. She has the blood of the previous Saint flowing in her body. In the future, her daughter will also be the new Saint, and it will be so for generations to come."
"This is fate, no one can change it!"
Jian Ning exclaimed "Ah" and thought to herself, Ah Man is curious about all new and unknown things. Even if she goes with them in the future, she may not be willing to stay and become a saint, not to mention that Huo Jincheng is trying to stop her.
He could drive his brother and sister out, so how could he let Ah Man go with them?
"I'm so glad you're here. You can stay with me first. Does your brother plan to stay with me or return to the County Court Special Investigation Team? It's fine with me, too. We're going to Beijing at the end of the month, so I'll leave the house with you guys. Is that okay?"
"My brother said he'd better follow Brother Ma first."
As soon as Yue'e finished speaking, Chang started shouting in the yard again, saying that Ma Fuquan had arrived.
