Lady Wuya couldn't persuade her to stay. Mida City was Song Liyun's future home and also a commercial city. The sooner it was completed, the more benefits would be for all parties involved.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, father-in-law! Ah Yun, have someone prepare some newly spun yarn for your Uncle Kui later. Make sure it's the finest yarn so your family can weave it into cloth and wear it to keep you warm."
In Song Liyun's orders, the tribe will not only weave carpets, but also spin wool into fine yarn to supply thousands of shops for sales.
Cashmere yarn has been in high demand since the beginning of winter, with supply falling short of demand.
Song Dekui laughed heartily: "Alright, I'll shamelessly accept it!"
Cashmere yarn is a good thing; it's just that Lin Qingyuan didn't come this time.
If someone obsessed with money comes along, they'll inevitably try to take it from you, and you'll have to use a lot of words to get away.
Song Dekui left with his men that very day. Song Liyun would not need to return to her parents' home after three days. Xiao An would also stay in the tribe, and Song Liyun planned to send him back to Suijin Town after the spring snow melted.
Three days later, snowflakes began to fall, plunging the Uda tribe into sorrow once again.
This time, however, no one felt much pain; instead, they felt more nostalgia.
The colorful ribbons left from the wedding are still fluttering in the wind, like a rainbow after the rain heralding the arrival of sunshine.
At this time last year, the Mida River Valley was still a scene of carnage.
This year, those tribes have been brought under the control of Uda and are now quietly resting and recuperating, with little to do on the grasslands.
With the support of the Northern Army of Hecheng Town, some of the Lei Battalion soldiers who were originally stationed in the Wuda tribe were stationed in the Mida River Valley, while the rest of the soldiers stayed in the Kara Mountains and various nearby tribes to spend the winter.
Therefore, Zhao Tingduo had some free time and could just enjoy her honeymoon in peace.
During the day he would lead people to train horses, and at night he would be full of energy and entangled with Song Liyun.
This left Song Liyun with dark circles under her eyes, and she was yawning constantly during the day while she was spinning wool with Granny Qi and the others.
Granny Qi and Lady Wuya were both experienced people, so they could easily see the reason for this.
They are both pleased that the couple has a good relationship and that they will be able to hold their grandson soon.
I also feel sorry for Song Liyun, whose petite figure is at a disadvantage in this kind of situation.
So, in addition to bird's nest, Lady Wuya also took out many tonics sent from the palace for Song Liyun to eat.
Song Li dared not eat a bowl of bird's nest in the morning and a bowl of clam soup in the afternoon, so she had to find another way.
As a result, Zhao Tingduo's nosebleed during a meal exposed the fact that she had a food substitute.
Left with no other option, Madam Wuya had to call her son over and tell him to tone it down and not exhaust Ayun.
The incident of Zhao Tingduo getting a nosebleed at the dinner table caused a stir in the tribe.
The boy who grew up with Zhao Tingduo is now of marriageable age.
Several of them had already arranged marriages with other tribes, and had exchanged cattle and sheep as betrothal gifts for brides before winter.
Hearing that the young master got married and even had a nosebleed, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and chuckle mischievously whenever they met.
Enraged, Zhao Tingduo dragged them to run wild on the grassland with their horses. That night, she fell into a deep sleep on her bed and was too exhausted to laugh at herself anymore.
But among those noble ladies, undercurrents were stirring.
Inside a large tent, several girls were busy sitting around a pile of wool.
The tribe doesn't support idlers. Although they don't need to go to the grasslands to herd sheep or collect cow dung, they still have to work.
Their task was to use bone combs to comb the tangled wool into bundles, which were then handed over to others to spin into thread.
The people sitting in the circle all had gloomy faces and were buried in their work. Their delicate hands, which used to be able to write calligraphy and apply makeup in front of the mirror, now had to touch the wool with its special smell.
The group only looked up and exchanged glances when they put down a bunch of flowers, and when they looked up again, they were all looking in the same direction.
In a corner, Wan Youyou, dressed in a sheepskin robe, lowered her eyes and slowly arranged the wooden thread-twisting hammer.
When the girls looked up again, their eyes fell on Wan Youyou's pale red sheepskin robe. They couldn't help but purse their lips and mutter, "No wonder she came from a lowly background. She's only just arrived on the grasslands and she's already wearing such tattered clothes!"
The weather on the grassland is cold, and strong winds blow incessantly from morning till night, making their cotton robes no longer able to keep them warm.
No more mink furs and velvets were delivered to them; instead, Granny Xu brought out a few old sheepskin robes for them to wear.
Although the sheepskin robe was warm, it had been worn by others, and the cuffs and hem were worn smooth and shiny.
Even though Granny Xu had everyone sew their own cloth covers to cover them up, and the clothes still looked shiny, they still felt uncomfortable and would rather freeze to death than wear them.
Only a slut like Wan Youyou could be born without being disgusted.
One of the women, with a long face, almond-shaped eyes, and peach-blossom cheeks, sneered: "Her maternal grandfather was just a guard in the Minister's mansion. He risked his life to save his master and was rewarded. Minister Wan then arranged for his son, Wan Shaoqing, to marry the guard's daughter as his second wife and have Wan Youyou."
Tell me, how can such a servile woman who takes advantage of our kindness be worthy of sitting on equal footing with us?
Another round-faced woman said softly, "Tang Qingluan, don't forget what Granny Xu said. We've both fallen on hard times, so there's no need to distinguish between noble and lowly."
Tang Qingluan's almond-shaped eyes widened: "I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rongguo's mansion..."
"You're still bringing up the past? You're asking for it!"
When the round-faced woman saw Tang Qingluan scream, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the round-faced woman didn't drop the wool she was holding, and instead stuffed it into Tang Qingluan's mouth.
Tang Qingluan was so irritated by the wool that she kept making "uh uh" sounds. After spitting out the wool ball, she choked and tears came out.
While shoving the hair out of her mouth, she angrily yelled at the round-faced woman, "Jiang Wanru, isn't that what you told me? Now you're deliberately trying to harm me!"
Tang Qingluan's actions finally made the woman beside her, who had been cold and aloof, look up: "Tang Qingluan, if you want to die, then die quickly, don't drag us down with you."
Her voice wasn't loud, but Tang Qingluan seemed afraid of her, and her face immediately turned red: "Jiang Wanru, Cao Jing, you're bullying me!"
She is indeed the legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Duke's family, but during the reign of the late emperor, the Rongguo Duke interfered with the Zhenbei Army in court and colluded with officials to make things difficult for them in every way.
When the late emperor passed away, he died at home out of fear of punishment, and his entire household of one hundred people was sent by the current emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Tang Qingluan was chosen by the Empress Dowager to be a palace maid and sent to the Di barbarian grasslands simply because she had a striking appearance.
Jiang Wanru and Cao Jing are from the maternal families of the eldest and third princes' wives.
When the princes were vying for the throne and causing trouble for the crown prince, the princes' wives' families did a lot of work to help them.
The princes are now under house arrest, the families of the princes' wives on both sides have been raided, the men have been exiled to the border, and the women have been forced into slavery by the government.
Tang Qingluan was afraid of them only because the princes were still around, and in case they were granted permission by the new emperor to leave the capital in a few years.
Perhaps Cao Jing and her in-laws can escape and return to the capital.
Upon hearing Tang Qingluan accuse her of bullying others, Cao Jing snorted coldly, her phoenix eyes filled with hatred: "Tang Qingluan, if you continue to provoke others and incur Xu Mama's punishment, I will tell her that you still think about Rongguo Mansion every day and want to go back to Rongguo Mansion!"
