Chapter 275 Baby Ruoxi: Why are you crying? I don't know how to do that

. "Yes, I will follow the princess's instructions!" Zhang Baiyun immediately clasped his fists and bowed to the carriage.

"Zhang Baiyun, this Nandun Village is a stone carving village, but the whole village says that they didn't carve stone dragons. What do you think about this?" Xiao Yue's voice came slowly from the carriage. "

Your Highness, this is really strange. The stone materials in Nandun Village are mostly granite, which was transported from Jinzhou in the southwest. Only the granite in Jinzhou is the hardest. Whether it is used to make bridge piers or paving, it is an excellent material!" Zhang Baiyun said.

"What kind of stone is the stone dragon?" Xiao Yue asked.

"Your Highness, the stone dragon is marble." Zhang Baiyun said.

"Marble? It's relatively fragile, and it's probably not that easy to transport long distances, so it should have been carved nearby." Xiao Yue said.

"Your Highness, you don't know that there are several marble carving workshops in Yunzhou, which carve tombstones for others or use them to build walls. I have arrested them all and are interrogating them." Zhang Baiyun said.

"The reason why Nandun Village didn't take anyone for interrogation is because they have always used granite?" Xiao Yue asked.

"Your Highness, I also had someone from Nandun Village taken away for interrogation, but there was no indication that they had used marble, and because of different techniques, they were not so precise in their manipulation of marble." Zhang Baiyun said immediately.

"Oh!" Xiao Yue just responded and didn't say anything more.

The carriage swayed into the city and headed towards the moat in the south of the city.

The river in Yunzhou is very wide.

There are many docks in Yunzhou, and now the Emperor has opened up water and land trade. Therefore, Yunzhou relies on the water feature, and many people can make a lot of money.

"There are three rich people in Yunzhou City, one surnamed Wan, one surnamed Qian, and one surnamed Zhao. Among them, the one surnamed Wan is the richest and most powerful." In the carriage, Nanny Gui said to Xiaoyue.

Baby Ruoxi didn't pay attention at first, but now he realized that her grandmother arranged Nanny Gui to come because Nanny Gui was familiar with the south.

"When Nanny Gui was young, she was from the south, from Yunzhou, right?" Xiaoyue looked at Nanny Gui and asked.

"Yes, I am from Yunzhou. If the Empress Dowager, who had not yet married, had not passed by Yunzhou and happened to save me, I would have become a pile of bones at that time." After saying this, Nanny Gui added, "However, the Zhao family has actually been in Yunzhou for the longest time. When I was a child, the Zhao family was very rich. My father even thought about selling me to the Zhao family as a slave to exchange for wine money."

"Nanny!" Seeing Nanny Gui's eyes reddened when she thought of her childhood experience, Xiaoyue immediately reached out and gently patted Nanny Gui's back of the hand.

"Yuer, you're here!" With a greeting, someone lifted the curtain and reached out directly: "Xier, come here!"

Baby Ruoxi hadn't come back to her senses yet. She was checking the information when she was pulled out.

"This imperial teacher is getting more and more naughty." Nanny Gui said angrily, and then hurriedly got off the carriage, holding a cloak in her hand: "Imperial teacher, quickly wrap the little princess up, what if she catches a cold!"

"Your little princess is not that fragile, right, Xiao Xier!" Ci Xin smiled, tapped baby Ruoxi's nose, and asked.

"..." Baby Ruoxi said she didn't want to talk!

Xiaoyue also got off the carriage.

At the pier, someone came up and bowed: "Zhao Le, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Zhao Le?" Xiaoyue turned to look at the man and asked: "Zhao family? So, this is the Zhao family's pier?"

"Yes, princess, our Zhao family has three piers here, which are relatively remote and relatively small. We have been doing it for decades!" Zhao Le nodded.

He was middle-aged, with a mustache, and looked very smart.

"Where is the stone dragon?" Xiao Yue asked.

"It's under the water!" Zhang Baiyun, who was standing next to him, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the stone dragon usually appears on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and it moves along the three docks. However, the stone dragon is usually more common at the Wanjia dock, and the people have seen it many times. Now, it's the ninth day of the first lunar month, and it will appear here in a few days. So, it won't appear in the next few days!"

"Did anyone go down to see what's going on?" Xiao Yue asked.

"Princess, I did ask someone to go down... but... no one dares to go down now." Zhang Baiyun said.

"No one dares to go down at the dock?" Xiao Yue looked at Zhao Le.

"It's like this, Princess, I sent a lot of my men into the water, but they all... never came back. So, I suffered a lot of losses, lost people, and had to pay compensation to the family. Of course, I didn't want my men to die in vain!" Zhao Le said.

"Ahem!"

On the side, Ci Xin coughed lightly, and he smiled and said, "Boss Zhao is indeed a very good person!"

Xiao Yue turned her head to look at this person, and for a moment she couldn't figure out whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

"What's going on over there?" Xiao Yue asked.

Not far away, someone was lighting incense and kowtowing by the water.

"They are all common people, they are here to pray!" Zhao Le said.

"Pray for blessings? Pray for a stone dragon in the water? In fact, because of this stone dragon, many people went into the water and never came back?" Xiao Yue sneered and said, "City Lord Zhang, don't you think this is ridiculous?"

"Yes, yes, I also think it's wrong, but I can't drive them away, and the people didn't pray at my dock!" Zhao Le said.

"Hmm~"

Baby Ruoxi stretched her waist and then hummed.

"Let's go, let's go, mother, we can't find out anything in broad daylight, let's wait until night, let Xiao Xinxin come again!" Baby Ruoxi looked at her mother, she had some little ideas.

"How about I cry and let mother hold me to rest?"

"But how to cry?"

Baby Ruoxi opened her mouth, thought about it, it seemed wrong.

"Puff!" Ci Xin couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiao Xi'er like this.

Xiao Yue also laughed, and it was this laugh that made Ci Xin raise her eyebrows: she could hear her daughter's thoughts.

Of course, she was her own daughter, so it was normal for her to hear.

Therefore, Ci Xin guessed that the other person must have heard it as well.

After all, they are all blood relatives.

"Okay, Xi'er is tired, go and rest first!" Xiao Yue said.

"Yes, if the princess and the imperial teacher don't want to give up, don't go to the temporary palace, live in the city lord's mansion, and let me serve you personally, then I will feel relieved." Zhang Baiyun said.

"Okay!" Xiao Yue nodded and turned around.
