Chapter 54

"Then do you want to go home, or come with me?"

Xu Yin simply let him choose.

"Hurrp!" Xiao Zhengtai was in tears, agitated, and let go of Xu Yin's sleeve, "Nan, Nanman... so scary... Wow——"

Just burst into tears.

Xu Yin: "..."

I have never seen such a crying child.

I remember that there seems to be a wooden slingshot in the system warehouse. I bought it from a stall owner when I was setting up a stall in Tongcheng.

The handle is polished by a master craftsman, very smooth and easy to hold.

Fifty cents a piece, and it's cheaper to buy three, only one yuan.

She bought three at that time, gave two to the Douding brothers, and threw the rest in the system warehouse.

She took out the slingshot and put it in Mrs. Xiaozheng's hand:
"You are still young, play with the slingshot now, and when you get older, my sister will give you a bow and arrow, and you will be a brave general in the future."

Xiaozheng was immediately attracted by the slingshot and laughed through tears.

"I want to be a great general!" He jumped up and down holding the slingshot.

"Then don't cry at every turn, which general have you ever seen always cry?"

Xiao Zheng was so ashamed that he turned his head and hid in the arms of the nanny behind him: "I won't do it in the future."

"Then let's pull the hook." Xu Yin taught him to pull the hook, "If the hook is hung for 100 years, it must not be changed. If it changes, it will be a little yellow dog!"

Coax my younger brother well, it's time for Xu Yin to get on the carriage.

King Jinnan and his party are already ready to go, and they are waiting for her.

"Fourth sister—" Xiao Zhengtai was carried into the carriage by the guards, stuck her head out and shouted, "I will miss you!"

"Come and see me if you miss me." Xu Yin replied with a smile.

Xiao Zhengtai froze visibly to the naked eye.

Xu Yin laughed, and waved to him: "Goodbye, brother, go back and practice the slingshot, but don't bully others. Also, listen to your father."

This trip has traveled three thousand miles, and I don't know if I will see the prime minister's father in my lifetime.

However, as long as he behaves well and doesn't act like a monster, the Prime Minister's Mansion shouldn't be in bad luck, right?
No matter how terrified the old emperor is, there is no reason to find a reason, and he still has to take care of the overall situation in the end.

……

The carriage went all the way south and drove for five consecutive days. It stopped in a relatively large town and said that it would rest for two days.

Not to mention the excitement of the maids, Xu Yin also wanted to cheer, she missed the down-to-earth feeling too much.

Of course you have to go shopping for supplies.

Xu Yin asked Nanny to bring enough silver taels, and she was ready to purchase.

Seasonings, dry goods, local specialties...everything she thinks is of good quality, she will buy it.

Only after shopping in the street did I realize that the seasonings at this time are not generally expensive.

Especially soy sauce, which is actually made of fresh meat, which is similar to fish sauce.

Ordinary people can't afford it at all, no wonder the shops selling seasonings are said to be opened by the imperial merchants, how can ordinary people afford it.

The salt is yellowish kosher salt, and the sugar is brown soil rock sugar, each of which is as big as a fist.When buying, the store also asked her if she wanted to mash it.

The food is not bought here, the difference between the north and the south of the food is not big, she plans to buy a larger batch before leaving Furong County.

The people below don't know what she thinks in her heart, if they know, they will probably howl:
master!You don't call this a big purchase? The 1000 taels of silver have all been spent, and the banknotes are already being used.

God knows why we bought so many seasonings, sauces, and dry goods. We don't know, and we dare not say, so we can only follow behind and carry our burdens.

In this way, every time she went to a bustling town to take a rest, Xu Yin would go shopping and do some shopping.

When entering the boundary of Furong County, together with the purchase expenses when I first left Beijing, I spent a total of 2000 taels.

Nanny Feng couldn't persuade her, she almost rolled her eyes.

Xu Yin then said to her, silver is dead, and materials...Although they are also dead, is it more practical than silver to live in Nanman in the future?

Nanny Feng: "..."

What can she say?

……

"My lord, everything has been arranged in the Nanman mansion." Yan Qi came in to report.

Yan Kejin put down her pen and rubbed her sore brows: "How did the county guards react?"

Yan Qi hesitated for a moment before reporting the truth:
"The two counties of Qianzhong and Baipu were very happy, and even sent people to give generous gifts; Baigui County was relatively silent; because Baiyue and Minyue counties are richer than the other three counties, they have become more and more shameful in recent years. ...

Lord, why don't you just let the little one wipe their necks!Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and imperial envoys come here very often.When you come, you only see taxes. "

The sheriff is appointed every three years, and the incumbent was transferred last year. Seeing that the lord lost his emperor's heart for a while, he uttered disrespectful words, kept making small moves in private, raised taxes indiscriminately in the name of the lord, and enriched his own pockets. I really thought the lord didn't know about it.

If you want him to say, just replace them all with his own people, anyway, the news will not reach Beijing and China within two years.

He firmly believed in his prince and would never be trapped by the Nanman.

Two years later, he will either obey the order or kill him, in short, he will definitely go back and take back what belongs to him.

Yan Kejin snorted lightly: "Forget it, I'd better keep a low profile when I first came here, so as not to fall into some people's tricks."

There are still people in Jingzhong waiting to pull his pigtails.If the old man does not abdicate for a day, that person will be uneasy for a day, not because he is afraid of changes.

"My lord..." Yan Qi hesitated before stepping back.

"What else?"

"It's that..."

Yan Qi pointed to the upstairs, where Xu Yin and her servants were placed on the third floor of the inn.

"Nineteen said that she bought a whole ten-carriage worth of things. She bought a cart full of seasonings alone, and the other cart was full of medicinal materials, which were high-quality medicinal materials that were not usually found. After entering Furong County, I was still inquiring about them along the way. Grain prices, it seems that she wants to buy food in a big way, what kind of medicine do you think she sells in this gourd?"

Yan Kejin was a little surprised, but didn't take it seriously: "Let her go."

Probably because they believed the rumors outside, thinking that the southern barbarians were so poor that they couldn't even burn, they ate raw meat, drank animal blood, and wore animal skins and grass skirts, so they were afraid.

He had learned about the personality of the concubine of the Xu family through informants, but he wanted Yan Keheng to pay attention to her out of the desire to not be on the stage.Although it's hard for him to say anything, if he really doesn't want to, there are ways to refuse the marriage.

It's just... instead of letting the old man send someone who doesn't know his roots to lurk beside him as an eyeliner, it's better to just do this, at least she has no brains.

"Ah-"

Xu Yin sniffed, she didn't have a cold, why did she keep sneezing today?Is someone scolding her or missing her?

Nanny Feng quietly told the servant girl to go out and make some soup, don't fall ill before arriving in Nanman.

Xu Yin didn't care, drank her saliva and continued to study the "Geography of Furong County" she just bought.

One of the pages is a map of Furong County.In fact, it is a map, but it is not as detailed and clear as the maps of later generations.

Xu Yin looked at the outline of Furong County, and the more she looked at it, the more it looked like Hunan Province where Tongcheng was located.

She couldn't help thinking: If Furong County is really Hunan Province, isn't Nanban...
