The Yun family and the Ning family had no prior dealings. Old Master Yun was quite surprised after hearing what the person sent by Ning Yirong said.
Grandpa Yun first expressed his gratitude to Ning Yirong's people, and then said that he was too old to manage things now, and that he would have to ask his grandson.
Ning Yirong's men also knew this was a big deal and that the whole family needed to discuss it carefully. So, Ning Yirong's men told Old Master Yun how much Ning Yirong admired him and how much he wanted to take the Yun family to their place to avoid trouble before taking their leave.
As soon as Sisi and Lao Hei returned, they saw Grandpa Yun pacing around in the yard.
When Grandpa Yun saw Sisi and Lao Hei return, he immediately said, "You two are finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages. Come on, let's go to my room and talk."
As soon as they entered Old Master Yun's room, he told Sisi and Lao Hei about Ning Yirong sending someone to find him. "Do you think the Ning family is trying to use our family's reputation to recruit talent for them?"
Sisi immediately knew what Ning Yirong was up to. "He not only wants to use our family's reputation to recruit talent for him, but he also wants the Lin family to treat his wounded soldiers."
Grandpa Yun was very surprised to hear this. "He's even eyeing the Lin family now?"
“Yes. Tell them that my uncles are all serving under General Niu, and that you don’t want to be separated from them. Then send them five cartloads of hemostatic herbs and two cartloads of pain-relieving pills.”
"Do we still need to send them gifts?"
"Yes. This way he can save face. And our family will have another option."
"All right."
The next day, after Ning Yirong's men arrived, Old Master Yun first told them what Sisi had said. Then he said that he was very touched that Ning Yirong had sent people to pick him up, and to express his gratitude, he had specially prepared five cartloads of medicinal herbs and two cartloads of pills.
Ning Yirong's men were surprised that Yun Yuqi and his group had already joined General Niu's army. After expressing their gratitude to Old Master Yun, Ning Yirong's men left with the medicinal herbs and pills that Sisi had prepared for them.
Life returned to normal.
If it weren't for General Niu recruiting men aged 20 to 40 into the army, everyone would think that we were living in a peaceful and prosperous era.
On the other side, Ning Yirong looked at the seven cartloads of goods his men had brought back and smiled. "The Yun family is so good at dealing with people now? Weren't they all single-minded?"
After Ning Yirong's men discovered that the Yun family was unfamiliar with their situation, they inquired about it.
"The Yun family produced a little girl, and that little girl is particularly good at getting things done. It is said that as soon as the Yun family arrived at the border, she recognized General Niu as her godfather. After recognizing General Niu as her godfather, she put her father and her uncles and elders into the army camp."
"Her father and her uncles are now minor leaders. She also has a very powerful person by her side. It is said that the barbarians in the north do not attack General Niu because they are afraid of her and the person by her side."
"It's said that she walks sideways wherever she goes."
Upon hearing the phrase "walking sideways," Ning Yirong couldn't help but think of his beloved minister, who also walked sideways.
Walking sideways?!
A little girl?!
Ning Yirong grabbed Xu Junning by the collar. "How old is that little girl from the Yun family? How old is she?"
Xu Junning was startled. "Well... I think I'm eight... eight or nine years old."
"Don't just assume! Find out the truth right now! Immediately!"
"Yes! I'll go right away."
After Ning Yirong released Xu Junning's collar, Xu Junning quickly went to inquire about it.
As Ning Yirong touched the medicinal herbs Xu Junning had brought back, he thought to himself, "My dear minister, is that you? Is that you? Do you still remember me? Do you still remember me?"
Commander Ning was busy when Ning Yirong's servant came over. "Master, could you please go and check on the young master?"
Commander Ning immediately put down what he was doing. "What's wrong, young master?"
The servant looked at Commander Ning and said, "Didn't the young master send someone to the border to pick up the Yun family? The Yun family didn't come. They sent the young master five carts of medicinal herbs and two carts of pills. The young master kept touching those things, kept touching them."
Commander Ning frowned. "Keep touching it? It's not gold."
The servant nodded. "Young master has been touching it for more than half an hour."
Commander Ning glared at the servant as he walked out. "Why are you only telling me now?"
"I..." I was afraid the young master would blame me; the young master is very strict now. "I was wrong."
"Come earlier next time."
"yes."
When Commander Ning arrived, Ning Yirong was still touching those things. "Son, what are you doing?"
Recalling the past between me and my beloved minister, I said, "I'm calculating how many people these herbs and pills can save."
"How can you possibly figure that out? Come with your father to the study; he has something to discuss with you."
"Okay." Ning Yirong touched it a couple more times before following Commander Ning.
Commander Ning thought his son was a truly kind-hearted and good boy. Commander Ning felt it was a lucky thing to be able to serve under his son.
Once you have a target, it's easier to find the information.
In addition, the incident between Feng Chan and Yun Yuqi back then caused quite a stir, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
Xu Junning quickly figured out Sisi's age.
Ning Yirong was studying the sand table when Xu Junning entered. "Young Master, I have found out the details."
Ning Yirong asked eagerly, "How old is that little girl?"
Eight years old.
Ning Yirong's eyes lit up immediately! "You mean age in the traditional Chinese way, right?"
"yes."
That matches up!
The little girl's age was exactly the same as the time his beloved minister had left him!
That little girl's behavior is very similar to that of his beloved minister!
That little girl must be his beloved minister!
Ning Yirong tried to suppress his excitement and looked at Xu Junning, asking, "What else did you find out?"
"I also learned that as soon as she arrived in the capital, she mortgaged her stepmother's dowry and all her stepmother's servants to the gambling den, reportedly for 100,000 taels of silver."
"Hahahaha..." This is something only his beloved minister would do. Back then, when he tried to steal a kiss from her while she was asleep, she kicked him into the lake. After kicking him, she simply turned over and continued sleeping. She dared to kick even the Emperor; what is a stepmother compared to her?
"Hahahaha..." My dear minister, I've finally found you! "Hahahaha..."
Xu Junning: "..." Is it really that funny? "Young Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Yes. Go and find out everything about her. The more detailed the better."
"Yes, young master. She has been to three different places. It will take at least four months to find out everything about her."
"Okay." She's only eight years old, no rush. "Remember, the clearer the better."
"yes."
Sisi was sleeping soundly at night when she suddenly heard someone laughing, and laughing very loudly.
Sisi rubbed her ears. What are you laughing about in the middle of the night? Did you find gold or dream of becoming emperor?
Suddenly, Sisi thought of something terrifying!
