Chapter 214: Happy Family Tour on the Grassland
The express horses, which traveled eight hundred miles in a hurry, carried the great victory over the Northern Di and Prince Yong's ambitious development plan, galloping towards the capital in a cloud of dust.
Meanwhile, at Yanmao Port, Madam Nangong, Dongfang Qiwu, Chen Xiaoyun, Nangong Yue and the three little guys were instantly excited after receiving the news that the front line had been completely pacified!
"We won! The Emperor's uncle and my aunt are so awesome!"
Nangong Yue was so happy that she was spinning around in circles while holding the baby who had just learned to walk.
Chen Xiaoyun let out a long sigh, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement and pride.
"Great! Beidi will definitely win. The trade routes will be unimpeded, and the scale of Yanmao will be far greater than before!"
He immediately began to think about the subsequent Chamber of Commerce dispatch and material arrangements in his mind.
The old lady clapped her hands in admiration, full of energy:
"Great! You're worthy of being my son and daughter-in-law! Let's go! Let's stop waiting at home! Let's go to the grassland! Let's see the empire that Ye'er and Ning'er have built for our son! And we can discuss how to build it!"
This proposal was unanimously approved by the whole family, especially the three children.
Seven-year-old Shen Nianchen tried hard to act calm and composed like a little adult, but his sparkling eyes and uncontrollable bouncing feet betrayed his excitement.
Five-year-old Nangong Jingxing had already started counting on his fingers how much silver the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland were worth, his little abacus clacking loudly.
Five-year-old Nangong Linglong was full of anticipation for the various novel plants, minerals and possible "experimental materials" on the grassland, and her little face was flushed with excitement.
"Let's go to the grassland! To see Daddy and Mommy!"
"Horse a horse! Eat roasted whole lamb!"
The children cheered and the whole Governor's Mansion was filled with joy.
The Yanmao District has a group of capable confidants trained by Chen Xiaoyun and Dongfang Qiwu in charge, and all affairs are in good order, so they are completely relieved.
Thus, a large-scale, luxuriously equipped and happy "family tour group" was quickly formed and set off for the Beidi grassland in a mighty manner.
Along the way, the old lady looked out the window at the vast scenery that was completely different from the Central Plains, and was filled with emotion:
"Even at my age, I can still see this kind of scenery and go out with the children to see the world. It's really worth it!"
Dongfang Qiwu smiled and supported her mother-in-law:
"Yes, mother. Aye and Ning'er have truly accomplished something remarkable this time. Who could have imagined that in such a short time, this grassland, once plagued by war, would be completely conquered?"
Nangong Yue and Shen Xiaoyun were taking care of the children while discussing the business opportunities that the grassland might bring, with gleams in the couple's eyes.
After a period of travel, the convoy finally arrived at the grassland camp where Nangong Ye and Dongfang Yuning were.
The camp at this time was less solemn and murderous than before, and more busy and lively on the eve of construction.
"Mother! Sister! Brother-in-law! Yue'er! Yunxiao, why are you all here?"
When Dongfang Yuning heard the announcement, she ran out like a happy butterfly and threw herself directly into the arms of the old lady and her sister.
Nangong Ye followed closely behind. Although he still had an upright posture and a strong aura, the softness between his brows was obvious.
He stepped forward and greeted them one by one:
"Mother, Royal Brother, Royal Sister-in-law."
When his eyes fell on the three little kids, he even smiled.
"Daddy~Mom~"
"Uncle, Auntie!"
The three children spoke in unison, their voices loud and clear. Then, their attention was attracted by everything on the grassland, and they looked around curiously.
"Oh my! My Ning'er! Let me see you! Have you lost weight? Oh, Ye'er is here too, all right!"
The old lady took Dongfang Yuning's hand, looked him up and down, then looked at her son, her eyes full of pride.
The family reunited, the scene was warm and lively.
After a simple welcoming banquet, the biggest entertainment activity is horseback riding on the grassland!
Nangong Ye personally selected the most docile and strong horses. Almost all members of the family, except Nangong Yue who was holding a baby, took part in the battle.
The old lady is still in good shape. She sat steadily in the docile BMW "Zhuiyun" that Nangong Yu specially selected for her. She even jogged a few steps, which made everyone cheer.
Dongfang Qiwu's riding skills are as elegant as ever.
Shen Xiaoyun was also a good horseman, guarding his wife Nangong Yue's carriage.
The funniest scene comes from the three children and their "mounts".
What Nangong Ye prepared for the three little ones were not real horses, but three ponies that were extremely docile, short in stature, and extremely cute with furry fur...!
And a pony that is said to be of noble blood, but is only slightly bigger than a dog, and looks confused as if he doesn't know who he is or where he is.
Shen Nianchen tried hard to maintain the demeanor of a young master, but the wobbly look of excitement and nervousness he showed while riding on the pony made everyone laugh.
Nangong Jingxing became interested in the price-performance ratio of the pony and whispered to the guard next to him:
"How much is this foal? How much can it sell for when it grows up? Is the foaling rate high?"
Nangong Linglong, on the other hand, was not very interested in riding horses. Instead, she developed a strong interest in studying the cute little pony. She tried to touch its teeth to determine its age, which scared the little pony so much that it hid behind the horse trainer.
Dongfang Yuning looked at this scene, laughing so hard that he fell backwards, leaning in Nangong Ye's arms:
"Husband, look! Doesn't Jingxing look like a little profiteer? Linglong has almost figured out that pony!"
Nangong Ye hugged her, his eyes full of smiles:
"It's up to you."
A family is strolling on horseback (or riding ponies) on the grassland. The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the grass is green, the breeze is blowing on their faces, and their laughter and joy can be heard from far away.
Occasionally, generals or tribal leaders who came to report on matters would see this heartwarming and somewhat funny family scene.
Especially when they saw the cold-faced prince smiling and carefully protecting the princess, their jaws almost dropped, and they quickly lowered their heads, shocked in their hearts:
[The prince actually has this side to him?!]
In the evening, a grand roasted whole lamb banquet was held under the starry sky.
The bonfire was blazing, the roasted lamb was sizzling with oil, and the aroma was everywhere.
The milk wine is mellow and the singing and dancing are cheerful.
The old lady watched with great interest and even clapped along with the rhythm.
Dongfang Qiwu and Shen Xiaoyun whispered to each other about their ideas on the construction of the commercial district.
Nangong Yue was holding her child and eating delicious barbecue with a happy look on her face.
The three children had been having a lot of fun, learning wrestling from the kids on the grassland. They were mostly thrown around, and their little faces were as red as cats.
Nangong Ye carefully cut the tenderest mutton for Dongfang Yuning and fed it to her mouth.
Dongfang Yuning excitedly gestured to his family while eating:
"Here! We'll build the largest market in the future! Over there! We'll plan a settlement! We'll also build schools and hospitals..."
There was a gleam in her eyes, and she had already seen the prosperous scene.
Nangong Ye was watching her from the side, occasionally adding a few words, with the doting and indulgence in his eyes almost overflowing.
The old lady looked at her son and daughter-in-law, smiling from ear to ear, and said to Dongfang Qiwu beside her:
"Look at them, they're so nice. This grassland feels different after what they've done. It feels alive!"
This scene was more like a large-scale family grassland fun tour and on-site office meeting than a discussion of development plans.
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, many construction inspirations and preliminary plans are more likely to emerge.
The night sky over the grassland is exceptionally clear, and the stars seem to be within reach.
The family sat around the campfire, eating, laughing and chatting. The warm family affection and joyful atmosphere dispelled the chill of the grassland night.
At this moment, there was no prince or princess, no empress dowager or emperor, no president of the Chamber of Commerce, only a warm family enjoying the hard-earned reunion and joy after victory.
And this vast grassland truly began to shine with new vitality because of this laughter.
