They heard that they were to be relocated to other villages.
The group was anxious and frustrated, but dared not speak.
Li Lanzhen asked again.
"Sir, we'd like to buy a mountain and live there. Is that feasible?"
The clerk shook his head.
"So it was possible. If you had come a day earlier, you might have been able to buy a mountain to live on."
Yesterday, the imperial court sent an urgent message stating that Youzhou Prefecture could not temporarily accommodate the refugees, nor could it sell the nearby mountains.
So, just you wait. I'm sure the imperial court will have a resettlement policy.”
The group of people, looking preoccupied, left the government office again.
Han Shunde kept talking.
"What can we do? If we break them up and send them to other villages, they'll be weak and vulnerable, and they'll just get bullied!"
Why not just live in the Peach Blossom Spring!
Xue Bao agreed with him. He didn't want to go to someone else's village and be bullied by the local bullies.
It would be better to just live in the mountains!
A free and unrestrained life is just what I want!
Li Lanzhen was starting to regret it. If she had known the court had sent this message, she would have come a couple of days earlier.
She wanted to buy the Peach Blossom Valley.
She was only at ease after obtaining the land deed for Peach Blossom Spring.
Li Lanzhen feared that one day this paradise would be bought by someone else and would no longer belong to her.
There's also Lishu Village, the resting place of the relatives of Xinghua Sanwang's eleven children.
This is also why Li Lanzhen did not propose building an ancestral hall in Taohuayuan to display the memorial tablets of their ancestors.
Of course, she and Xinghua Sanwang had also discussed it.
The children still longed to return to Lishu Village.
The ancestral tablets of fathers and fathers are placed in the ancestral hall in the village.
Not far from the government office, they encountered Han Dazhong and his group.
They looked over here anxiously.
Li Lanzhen asked Han Dazhong, "Have you been waiting here for a long time? Why did you come here? What happened?"
Han Dazhong chuckled and shook his head. "It's nothing. We just wanted to know if we could register our household here, so we came here to wait for you to come out."
Han Shunde told them what the clerk of the prefectural government had said.
Seeing that they all looked preoccupied, Li Lanzhen offered words of comfort.
"Cheer up, what's the big deal? The imperial court said it would resettle the refugees, and it will."
As for what to do, there's still time, right? We'll start making arrangements next spring.
Li Lanzhen took out the silver she had prepared from her spatial storage.
"Here, two taels of silver each. Buy whatever you want. Remember to pay me back when you get back."
Xue Bao took the silver first, chuckling to himself.
"Thank you, Aunt Lanzhen. I'll pay you back when I get back."
The others took it too.
“Let’s split up and each buy our own things. That way we can get there faster and save time,” Li Lanzhen said.
Han Shunde told everyone to meet at the entrance of Sifang Restaurant in half an hour to go home.
"Mother, let's go find my younger brother first. I wonder how he did at the bookstore." Han Minghai suggested, worried about Han Mingxiang.
"Okay. Let's go to the bookstore first."
Having found the "Yizhi Bookstore," Li Lanzhen was about to enter when Han Mingxiang stormed out in a rage.
A girl followed behind.
"Don't go! It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you!"
You're just a poor scholar; your ancestors for eight generations should be burning incense in gratitude if you marry me!
"Stop right there, you alone!"
"Smack!"
Time stood still!
Li Lanzhen slapped him across the face and put her hands on her hips.
He glared fiercely at the girl who was covering her face as she looked.
"My son meeting you and being harassed by you is something that would disgust and resent our ancestors for eight generations!"
Who gave you the audacity to treat my son like this?
Let me tell you, my son is already married! Stop bothering him!
After saying that, he grabbed Han Mingxiang and left.
Xue Bao walked at the back, wary of the girl rushing over and hurting Li Lanzhen.
They walked down a street, and Han Mingxiang, seeing that Li Lanzhen hadn't asked him what had happened, took the initiative to speak to her.
"Mother, she blocked my way and insisted that I marry her."
I tried to reason with her and told her that I was already married. But she still wouldn't let it go.
I refused, and her servant girl pulled me, wanting to go to Master Jia's mansion.
They even said that if they were caught, they would be taken to a wedding ceremony right away!
The bookstore owner helped me escape.
Li Lanzhen glared at Han Mingxiang with exasperation.
"Look at you! When faced with such a situation and such rotten people, what's the point of reasoning? You're so pedantic!"
If you encounter something like this, just turn around and leave. If you can't leave, kick it!
Li Lanzhen led four people out of the bookstore and into an alley.
She didn't want to run into this awful girl again.
It wasn't that she was afraid of trouble, but Han Mingxiang was already a student of the Imperial Academy, and she didn't want him to be tainted by bloodshed.
Leaving a criminal record has jeopardized his scientific research career!
Before I had taken more than a few steps, I heard someone shouting loudly.
“Keep your eyes on me.”
Especially that old hag who slapped me.
"If you see this, beat them! If you kill them, my dad will take the blame!"
A voice stopped Li Lanzhen and her companions in their tracks.
A group of people rushed over and surrounded the entrance to the alley.
The girl was standing opposite them.
She was surrounded by a dozen servants and old women, each holding a stick.
The people on the other side also saw Li Lanzhen and her group.
The girl yelled even louder.
"Beat this old hag first! How dare she hit me! If she doesn't want to live, beat her to death and throw her to the dogs! Beat her!"
Li Lanzhen couldn't take it anymore!
So arrogant and domineering, they don't care about human life at all. How many lives have they killed?
Today you've run into a truly awful old lady, I'll take care of you on behalf of God!
However, we cannot make a move here; we cannot cause trouble for Han Mingxiang.
It's best to hide first, and then visit this Jia family's house tonight.
Looking left and right, there was really no way to hide in the alley.
So he simply grabbed Han Mingxiang and the other two and turned to leave.
As they turned the corner, they brought the four people into the space.
When Li Lanzhen saw the four people lying on the grass as soon as they came in, she went to change her clothes.
A short while later, a skinny old man, carrying a basket on his back and hunched over, slowly walked to the crowd on the other side of the alley.
The young woman berated her subordinates for being useless, unable to even keep an eye on one person, letting the old hag escape and take her husband with her.
Li Lanzhen was furious when she heard the girl calling Han Mingxiang "husband" and "my lord" all the time.
I, old woman, must go and find out what kind of person this Master Jia is in Youzhou Prefecture.
If everyone else in Master Jia's family is decent and hasn't harmed or killed anyone, and it's just that this girl is spoiled and pampered, then we should only take our anger out on her.
If the Jia family were all pests, then it would be a service to the people.
She strolled slowly past the group of people, thinking she could get through without any problems.
The girl rushed over and kicked her.
"You old bastard! Who gave you permission to pass through here?"
If you delay my business, you'll pay with your head!
Get out of here!
Li Lanzhen was kicked for no reason and fell to the ground.
He shakily got up, slung his basket over his shoulder, and continued walking.
snort!
We'll settle this score tonight!
