Song Zhenping went out on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
He returned to Xiaoshi Village in grand style with his new wife Yang Hua, Song Dekui driving the carriage, and the three of them carrying a large cart full of gifts.
After Song Zhenping got married, he wanted to visit his parents' graves to pay his respects.
Song Liyun had no feelings for her parents, and only said that she was busy with family affairs and it was inconvenient for a woman to participate in such an important matter as moving graves, so she didn't need to go back.
Song Zhenping knew that she resented her second uncle's family and would be angry if she went back, so he didn't force her.
Xiao An is a boy, and should have gone back, but the old Song family house left him with only fear and disgust, not a trace of goodwill.
Before Song Zhenping could offer any further advice, Xiao An had already huddled in the corner, trembling, and wouldn't listen to anyone.
Seeing that they could no longer take Xiao An with them, the young couple had no choice but to go back on their own.
Song Liyun was unaware that Madam Gu and Song Xiaobao had been taken away by Young Master Lin; she thought the mother and son had gone back to Xiaoshi Village.
Knowing that Song Defu was already herding sheep on the grassland, and that Granny Gu and Little Gu were still in Xiaoshi Village, there was bound to be trouble.
However, since there were no adult men in the house, Gu Pozi's tantrums and shrewish behavior wouldn't be very effective, so Song Liyun assigned four people for Song Zhenping to take with him.
Zhao Tingduo asked her to bring back fifty people this time. Apart from Abu and other Udadi tribesmen, the rest were cavalrymen from the Lei Battalion.
Song Liyun originally felt that it was a waste to leave these elite troops to gather dust in her hands.
But Zhao Tingduo said that these fifty people needed to take a vacation, but they couldn't go home. Sending them to Suijin Town was for recuperation, so she accepted them.
With these seasoned soldiers who have fought on battlefields and galloped across the frontier protecting Song Zhenping, it is impossible for any further incidents to occur.
Regardless of whether Song Zhenping's relocation of the graves in Xiaoshi Village went smoothly, Song Liyun only cared about making money.
The next day, Xiao An followed Lin Tao's carriage to Tianxiang Tower. He was young and reluctant to leave home, so he had to come back to sleep every night.
A few days later, Black Gold, who was deprived of company during the day, quit.
Wearing a leather jacket and pants, and soft-soled shoes made by Yun Niangzi, Hei Jin didn't squat in the attic to sleep. Instead, he was either swinging on the bare branches of the tree outside the courtyard or petting the little dog, almost pulling all its fur off.
Helpless, Song Liyun felt sorry for the little puppy and could only let Xiao An take the monkey to work.
Upon arriving in Qili County, Hei Jin almost instantly fell in love with the restaurant.
Here, as long as you act well-behaved, walk a few steps in front of the diners, or scratch your head, stomp your feet, and make a funny face, you can make them burst into laughter. Not only will you get all kinds of delicious food, but you'll also get a lot of money stuffed into your hands.
Later, Song Liyun simply had Yunniangzi sew a floral skirt with a bib for it, and the effect was excellent, earning it several taels of silver as a reward every day.
Thus, Hei Jin became the chief of the atmosphere team at Tianxianglou, leading a group of handsome men to and fro, and every appearance of him brought laughter to the entire building.
It was extremely pleased with itself, thinking that these people were really fools!
Black Gold no longer looks fierce; instead, its clothes give it a comical appearance.
Coupled with his deliberate attempts to amuse, the appearance of a "cute monster" at Tianxianglou quickly caused a sensation in Qili County.
As a result, watching monkey shows at Tianxianglou became a new attraction there.
Coupled with the newly launched rabbit dishes, Tianxianglou once again experienced a surge in customers. Those who did not make reservations in advance could not even get in the door, even with their money.
In contrast, there are Zuichunlou and Jinxilou.
Since the tax investigation in Jiangfeng began, half of the shares of Zuichunlou and Jinxilou have been seized by Lin Dagongzi's investment.
However, after a lawsuit with Song Liyun, Young Master Lin fled Qili County in a sorry state, and this hot potato fell back into the hands of Shen Leyan and Huang Changsheng.
Zuichunlou and Jinxilou were already badly damaged by the half-price promotion, and then they were dragged into a deep pit by Young Master Lin. Now they are even more cautious, afraid of falling into another trap.
However, in just three months, barbecue restaurants opened one after another in Qili County, offering delicious and inexpensive food.
Today, Gao Li, who was hired by Jinxilou at a high salary, is no longer popular, and roasted lamb chops have become a specialty dish that is praised but not sold well.
As its reputation worsened, the income of the two floors plummeted. After deducting costs and wages for the cooks and waiters, it was almost at the point of closing down.
But with Young Master Lin's shares involved, they couldn't sell even if they wanted to, and could only stand there staring blankly at the few customers.
The two were completely unaware that a deafening thunderbolt was about to shatter them to pieces.
February arrived in the blink of an eye, and Song Liyun was still managing her Yuruixiang in Suijin Town. Merchants from Qili County began to come here to purchase goods.
Yunzhou is bitterly cold; spring has not yet arrived, and the ice on the Huangsha River has begun to collapse, making the delivery of letters increasingly difficult.
Inside Baolinju, Song Liyun sipped her milk tea while flipping through the letters she had received.
The letter was delivered by Zhao Tingduo. In addition to being full of deep affection, it also focused on the current situation of the Wuda tribe.
An elder of the Mudan tribe has been beheaded, and the chieftain has been whipped fifty times.
That dereliction of duty was not a mistake, but intentional.
The reason was simply that the clan elder and the headman had a disagreement over a trivial matter.
After the chieftain led his troops away on patrol, the clan elder dispatched all the clan soldiers on duty.
He deliberately put the Uda headquarters in danger, hoping that something bad would happen so that the chieftain would be punished.
The clan elder succeeded.
However, he did not expect that Lady Uya would come to the tribe in person and catch him drinking and causing trouble.
If the Ping Shan tribe hadn't taken a detour and Song Liyun hadn't informed them, the Wuda tribe would definitely have been massacred.
We don’t know how many people died in the Uda tribe, but one thing is certain: the Uda army will lose its reinforcements, its hard-won pastures and tribes, and its winter hunting season will be a complete failure.
