Su Yue followed behind Xiao Youran, gently tugged at her sleeve, and whispered, "Miss, what did you give that old man just now?"
Xiao Youran shook her head, "It's nothing. I just gave her the prescription that Doctor Lü copied down for us that day, hoping that her wife's intestinal abscess could also be cured."
Su Yue said "Oh" to indicate that she understood.
Jiang Youchen then gave his sister a meaningful look.
The group strolled leisurely to digest their food, chatting and praising each other along the way, and returned to the inn quite late.
Then, when they set off the next morning, they obviously overslept.
Fortunately, the Su family, mother and sons were not impatient. They thought that it was alright to be a little late and could set off after lunch.
So, with Xiao Youran dawdling and picking and choosing from the large stack of food boxes that Shen Zhangyu brought, the group finally set off before noon.
However, before they could set off, a burly man blocked Lao Feng's carriage.
Old Feng was startled and quickly reined in the horse.
This burly man is none other than Yu Laosi, who appeared twice yesterday.
He completely changed from his previous fierce appearance, his face full of smiles. He shoved a large bundle he was carrying directly next to Old Feng and said loudly, "Father sent me to thank Little Fairy for saving my life."
After saying that, he took off running.
Old Feng turned around helplessly and called out, "Young Master..."
Jiang Youchen lifted the carriage curtain and pulled the bundle inside.
Zhao's mother opened the bundle together and found two large bags of pastries inside.
Xiao Youran smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about food along the way."
She stretched out her chubby little hand, picked up a piece of pastry, and stuffed it into her mouth.
He first checked the little notebook in his mind and found that his luck value had returned to 5 points.
Okay, at least that half box of medicine wasn't a complete waste!
I felt full after eating only two pieces.
As a result, under the influence of her midday nap's biological clock, Xiaoyou slept soundly until evening.
The mother and her two children traveled leisurely and carefree towards Taizhou. The main reason was that although Madam Yun had a large family, she had brought out those priceless treasures, as well as many silver notes, gold ingots, and silver coins for them before. They would not need to help each other for the time being and would definitely have a place to live. Therefore, they were not in a hurry.
With Lu Ning's letter of recommendation, the mother and her two children traveled safely, stopping at inns along the way. If they encountered a large town, they would stay at the largest inn for a few days to rest and recuperate until they were radiant before setting off again.
So they traveled around sightseeing, turning a half-month journey into a month and a half.
However, what they didn't know was that the Yun family, who had already settled in Sanyang Village, Wufeng County, Taizhou, were already in dire straits.
When the Su family, mother and son, and their group of six arrived at Sanyang Village, it was already mid-October, two months after their Yun family's property had been confiscated.
However, upon arriving in Wufeng County, the group did not immediately go to Sanyang Village to inquire about the whereabouts of the Yun family. Instead, due to the continuous rainy weather, they stayed in Wufeng County for five or six days.
Xiao Youran felt that going to Sanyang Village would mean experiencing rural life more deeply, so she decided to take the opportunity to stay at a guesthouse in the county for a few more days.
By the seventh day, the rain seemed to have lessened a bit. After discussing it, the group realized they had been dragging their feet for quite a while. Why not head straight to Sanyang Village? With the Yun family there, they figured they could find somewhere to stay.
So the group slowly made their way to Sanyang Village.
Before setting off, Xiao Youran thought that her great-aunt's large family of over twenty people would probably have to travel back and forth between the village and town every day to buy groceries. She figured that since they were coming from Wufeng County, they might as well buy some meat and fruit on the way, so that they wouldn't have to travel to town to buy food for the next couple of days.
As for food, she didn't think there would be a shortage at all. The Yun family had plenty of money and so many people; they would definitely have a warehouse full of it.
Green vegetables are readily available in rural areas, but they are difficult to carry and store, so they are not within their purchasing scope.
So they bought a lot of pork, lamb, chicken, and duck, and since they happened to come across a beef vendor, they bought some as well. They also brought some winter melon, lettuce, radish, and other things that are easy to store.
As for their life after arriving in Sanyang Village, the mother and her two sons had already discussed it. Since they had already protected so much of the Yun family's wealth, now they only needed to confirm that the Yun family was doing well in Sanyang Village, and that would be enough. They would then ask them again if they needed any help. If the Yun family didn't appreciate it, there was no reason for them to stubbornly stay by their side.
Although Xiao Youran wanted to stay in Sanyang Village, preferably to accompany them through these most difficult three years, and then look for an opportunity to marry her mother into... cough cough, to keep her mother in the Yun family... if her great-aunt and the others really didn't want them to stay, then perhaps they could return to the capital and wait for the Yun family to return to the capital in glory three years later.
Yes, Xiao Youran knew about the Yun family's impoverished life in the countryside, but it had only been three years.
Three years later, their eldest cousin will be exonerated, not only regaining his original official position and title, but also receiving greater rewards for his merit in quelling the rebellion.
With the 1,700 taels of gold notes and the restaurant that would soon be a source of endless wealth, she was filled with anticipation for her return to life in the capital.
The three of them tacitly avoided mentioning returning to Dingzhou.
The Jiang siblings probably knew that Dingzhou held no pleasant memories for their mother, so they naturally wouldn't mention it.
Su Shi already felt that Dingzhou was a place of sorrow, so she would never bring it up on her own initiative.
On October 19th, in Taizhou, which is near the eastern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the weather had already turned cold, and at this moment it was drizzling.
On the country road leading to Sanyang Village, a large horse-drawn carriage is making its way forward.
A corner of the small curtain next to the carriage was lifted, revealing the delicate face of an adorable four-year-old girl.
Who else could this be but Xiao Youran?
Looking at the endless rice paddies shrouded in mist and rain in the distance, Xiao Youran exclaimed, "Autumn truly is a season of harvest!"
Madam Zhao chuckled and said, "Miss, you know quite a lot. Isn't autumn a harvest season? Many grains are harvested in autumn. Judging from the current situation, this year's harvest is quite good."
Although it wasn't very clear in the rain, the entire area was a golden expanse of rice paddies.
Old Feng, who was driving in front, shouted loudly in the rain, "You're all wrong."
Little Youran asked curiously in her childish voice, "Uncle Feng, where did we say something wrong? Aren't all those golden grains in this wheat field?"
Old Feng wiped the rain off his face, turned around and said loudly, "You don't know, it's been raining all the way here, probably for ten days or half a month. This huge rice field is obviously too big to harvest in time. With this rain, it's going to rot in the ground."
