The villagers were extremely grateful.
Yin Lan packed up all the other pots and pans. It was uncertain whether she would come back in the future. Besides, Yin Lan had some sentimental attachment to the things she had used and did not want to give them away.
The chickens, ducks, and sheep are temporarily being raised by Zhao Dashan's wife, and can be sold if someone in the village wants to buy them.
This made the villagers realize that something must have happened to Yin Lan's family, and they couldn't help but start talking about it.
That night, Yin Lan and the children in her family had trouble sleeping.
Tinglan originally thought that Master Liu would leave together, but in the end, he decided to stay. He was already old, and even though the capital city had changed, he no longer had the energy to do anything.
Yin Lan couldn't force him to stay; at least Xiao Xi's future studies wouldn't be delayed.
That night, everyone was in a daze. Before dawn the next day, no one in the village woke up. A bullock cart had already pulled up in front of Yin Lan's house. Da Wa, Er Wa, Xiao Wu, and Yin Lan were all silently carrying things.
Finally, the oxcart swayed and wobbled away. Yin Lan turned back and looked at the village that was gradually disappearing into the distance. She still felt a little choked up.
The early spring breeze was chilly, so she wrapped her coat tighter and picked up her third child. The second child also came and hugged his mother's arm, while the eldest child sat silently to the side, his brows furrowed with vigilance. He wanted to protect his mother and his two younger brothers.
Suddenly, Yin Lan spotted a figure not far ahead, and her heart tightened.
As the oxcart drew closer, the figure remained motionless. Only after everyone noticed and Xiao Wu prepared to speed up did Yin Lan realize that it was actually Widow Ye.
What is she doing here so early?
There must be other things going on; it couldn't possibly be that she was waiting for her on purpose. Thinking of the grudges between the two, Yin Lan wasn't very willing to see her either.
Yin Lan looked away, the oxcart sped up, but Widow Ye suddenly looked over. Her figure moved quickly, heading towards the oxcart. She ran a few steps, caught up with the oxcart, and without looking at Yin Lan, threw the bundle she had been holding at her.
"Hello...."
Before Yin Lan could say anything, she turned and walked away, her pace quickening until she finally ran away.
"What is this thing? This person is no good. Let's throw him away," Xiao Wu said cautiously.
Yin Lan shook her head, opened the bundle, and inside were several steaming buns.
The two children's eyes lit up immediately.
I set off without eating anything in the morning, originally planning to eat in the county town.
result....
Erwa swallowed hard.
"Tian Youwei's mother isn't a bad person. Can we eat her, Mother?"
Yin Lan felt a mix of emotions for a moment, then...
"eat."
Unexpectedly, the person who ended up giving her the gift was Widow Ye.
The oxcart continued its journey, and Yin Lan, eager to arrive as soon as possible, hurried along the way. After more than ten days, they had reached the outskirts of the capital.
Although a battle had just taken place, the majestic city gates still revealed the grandeur of this capital city.
Fortunately, the kids had already seen a lot along the way, so it wasn't too bad.
Halfway there, they realized they had changed carriages. The main reason was that Yin Lan and the children were so good-looking that even in ordinary coarse clothes, they would attract attention. To avoid trouble, they simply stayed inside the carriage where no one could see them.
Upon arriving in the capital, Xiao Wu had already purchased a three-courtyard house. Due to the war, many people had fled, so the house was not expensive.
Chen Yourun brought back all the rewards he had received over the years, and used a small portion of them to buy a house.
The children walked in, their eyes wide open, not even blinking. They went through the main gate and into the huge house. Was this their home?
Do you have a home in Beijing now?
Yin Lan also liked the house very much. The location wasn't particularly good, but it was quiet and peaceful. Moreover, the previous owner of the house must have been a refined person, as all the designs were very elegant and made one feel good after seeing it.
The group settled down, and Xiao Wu also received letters, one for Yin Lan, and another for Wa and Xiao Wu.
In just over ten days, Chen Yourun had risen from a colonel to a lieutenant general.
In addition, the rewards for these days are also being sent over from the other side.
Yin Lan carefully tallied it up, and the total amount came to a staggering five thousand taels of silver!
She immediately went out to inquire about the prices of the shops and residences outside.
Fortunately, the matter in the palace has not been completely resolved. People are like this: once something drops in price, they think it will remain sluggish. Therefore, almost all properties are currently at very low prices.
These days, Yin Lan first had her child study at home, then inquired about the academies still open in the capital, and spent the rest of her time looking at various shops.
She buys almost anything that looks good.
With five thousand taels of silver, they ended up buying three shops in very good locations.
She also received deposits for five shops, and could pay the balance once Chen Yourun's reward arrived.
Don't underestimate these few shops. These areas are just quiet right now because things are chaotic outside and no one is going out. Once things stabilize, the flow of people outside will be quite substantial.
At that time, any shop will be worth far more than five thousand taels.
With these shops, Yin Lan doesn't need to do anything to be a happy landlady.
Of course, her ambitions didn't stop there. There were still many people in the capital, including many refugees. Yin Lan went to distribute porridge and also collected some clothes to exchange. In the end, she managed to get two thousand taels of silver through these tattered clothes.
Others only saw that she was doing good deeds, but they didn't know that in the system, all that junk eventually turned into silver.
Therefore, she bought another shop.
The situation was originally chaotic, but because of the sudden appearance of a great philanthropist, both refugees and ordinary people were moved and thought that this prince who had invaded was not bad after all.
The news also reached the prince's ears.
What he wanted was to become emperor legitimately, but unfortunately, the emperor refused to budge.
The sudden appearance of such a figure in the capital startled the prince, who immediately ordered people to comfort the disaster victims and spread his virtuous reputation.
Upon hearing this news, Yin Lan hurriedly praised the prince's benevolence while distributing porridge.
Public opinion gradually transformed the prince from a traitor into a good person.
After all, he has the people in his heart, and he can make everyone's lives better. Isn't that what makes him a good person? Besides, that's what the beautiful and kind-hearted Bodhisattva said.
Therefore, the voices supporting the prince grew louder and louder.
Upon hearing the news, the prince smiled for the first time in the palace, "Not bad, not bad, hahahaha."
"Your Highness, some officials outside are already requesting the emperor to abdicate."
"Who is that woman?" the prince asked, pausing with satisfaction.
