Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Looking at the direction where Shi Bin disappeared, Mu Chuan felt very uncomfortable.

Shi Bin and Lin Ruoyu were childhood sweethearts. Just when they were about to get married, the Lin family met with misfortune.

If Shi Bin was in the capital at that time, he might be able to protect Lin Ruoyu, but he was fighting at the border, and when he came back it was too late.

Muchuan sighed and turned around to go about his business.

He arranged for a carriage and returned to the inn, and told Jiang Zhi about his encounter with Shi Bin.

"Your Majesty, do you think that Master Zhou and Miss Lin are both in Xingnan Prefecture?"

"It's hard to say."

Jiang Zhi picked up the hot tea on the tea table and took a sip.

The bitter, low-quality tea passed through his mouth, and his heart was even more bitter than the tea.

This time, four large families in the capital were confiscated at once, and hundreds of people were reduced to slavery. Together with the slaves they already had, more than two thousand people were sold.

With so many people scattered across more than a dozen cities, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for them to find someone in a short period of time.

Jiang Zhi couldn't help but sigh, hoping that Young Master Zhou was doing well now.

After a busy day, Ye Jintang felt a little drowsy after dinner.

"Girl, I need some hot water so you can take a hot bath before going to bed at night."

Nanny Liu entered the room carrying a wooden bucket of hot water, and saw Ye Jintang leaning against the bed in his clothes, having fallen asleep at some point.

Putting down the wooden barrel, Nanny Liu stepped forward with a distressed look and helped Ye Jintang take off his coat.

No matter how carefully she does things, she is just a little girl who has not yet reached marriageable age.

These days, she was busy running around and lived in fear every day. After finally leaving Yuezhou City, the tension in her heart finally relaxed a little and she could sleep so soundly.

As for trivial matters like whether to take a shower or not, there is no need to worry too much about it. Just get enough sleep first.

It drizzled all night long. Ye Jintang slept without dreams and did not wake up until the next morning.

"Lianqiao, what time is it now?"

When Ye Jintang opened her eyes, she saw Lian Qiao sitting at the table doing needlework, and Xuetuan was sleeping obediently on the table.

"It's just after noon, girl, does your leg hurt?"

"It's okay. It's so late. Why don't you wake me up?"

Ye Jintang was a little annoyed. They still had to travel today and must not be delayed because of her.

"Master Jiang said that the young lady was too tired from traveling yesterday, so he asked me not to wake her up early."

"Uh?"

"How's the wound on Luzhu's leg?"

"It's all right. When I came here, Luzhu went to the town with Mrs. Wei to buy things for the journey."

"Master Jiang said that the girl's clothes had all been rummaged through by the robbers and were no longer suitable for wearing. He asked Luzhu to buy her some clean clothes."

Ye Jintang, who was washing up, heard Lian Qiao say this and thought that Jiang Zhi was very thoughtful. She had the urge to keep him by her side as a manager.

However, this idea was just something she could think about. She didn't have the ability to get a fourth-rank official to be her manager.

After washing up, Luzhu brought the newly bought clothes into the house and gave them to Lin Jintang.

"Miss, most of the clothes in this town are made of cotton. Please make do with these for now. When we get to Xingnan City, I will change them to brocade."

"It doesn't matter. They are all men's clothes anyway. Just throw them away when we get to Xingnan City."

It rained all night last night. Now that I opened the window, the hot and humid weather outside is no longer there.

Even if you wear cotton clothes, you won’t feel too hot.

Everyone rested for a while in the inn and soon packed up and left.

Ye Jintang, who was sitting in the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. Although the carriage was a little bumpy, she felt completely relaxed as she didn't have to ride on the same horse with Jiang Zhi.

Leaning against the carriage, as the carriage swayed, Ye Jintang soon began to feel drowsy again.

Jiang Zhi, who was riding a horse beside the carriage, saw through the window that Ye Jintang was sleeping again in a daze. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the little girl was simply the reincarnation of the god of sleep.

She went back to her room to sleep right after dinner yesterday, and slept most of the morning, and now she is sleeping again.

She wouldn't sleep all the way to Xingnan City, right?

Jiang Zhi was right in his guess. As long as Ye Jintang was in the carriage, he never woke up and kept sleeping all the way to Xingnan City.

"Girl, wake up, we are in Xingnan City,"

Luzhu's voice was full of excitement. She gently pushed Ye Jintang out and looked at Xingnan City in the distance through the window with curiosity.

Ye Jintang rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction Luzhu was looking.

I saw that the gate of Xingnan City not far away was higher than the gate of Yuezhou City.

There are small vendors everywhere outside the city gate, and the shouts of the vendors are very lively.

There is a gate on each side to enter the city, and people enter from the right and exit from the left. Everything is in order.

"There are so many carriages entering the city? They are lined up a mile away?"

Ye Jintang did not expect Xingnan City to be so prosperous. Seeing that the carriages lined up were all full of goods, they should be caravans from other cities.

"Xingnan City is one of the largest cities in the country, so naturally there are more caravans coming here to do business."

Jiang Zhi rode his horse to the side of the carriage, looking at the long queue without any hurry.

"Well, when can we get into the city?"

"At least half an hour."

One has to wait in line for a long time before the carriage can enter the city. Ye Jintang didn't want to sit in the carriage and wait, so he simply got off and walked around.

Both sides of the official road outside the city are filled with all kinds of stalls.

There were vendors selling snacks, cloth, and juggling gadgets.

Ye Jintang, who traveled from the future, is full of curiosity about these things.

She looked around and soon had several small items in her hands. She walked for a while and saw a man selling velvet flowers.

The velvet flowers are very beautiful and lifelike, and the colors are also very bright.

Such beautiful velvet flowers, sold on the dusty roadside, are really eye-catching.

"Auntie, how much is this velvet flower?"

Ye Jintang picked up a pomegranate flower and looked at the auntie selling velvet flowers with a smile.

"Sir, you really have a good eye. This pomegranate flower is very demanding to make. Look at the layers of colors on the petals. When choosing the thread, my daughter's eyes were almost blinded."

The aunt praised the pomegranate flowers to the sky, and after a long while she said, "I think you are very handsome, and your wife must be a beauty too. I will give you a discount on these pomegranate flowers, only one or two taels of silver for a pair."

"If you feel that the hairpin on the pomegranate flower is a bit cheap, you can replace it with a silver hairpin. There is a buckle at the end of the flower, which makes it easy to change."

Such exquisitely crafted velvet flowers only cost one or two taels of silver per pair. For Ye Jintang, the price was simply too cheap.

She remembered that in her previous life she had participated in a charity auction and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a pair of velvet flowers.

"Auntie, I want all of these."

Rich woman Ye Jintang bought 12 velvet flowers at one time.

The auntie was so happy to sell so many velvet flowers that she said many auspicious words, even words like "May you have a baby soon".

Jiang Zhi, who was standing by, frowned as he listened.

When the aunt had finished wrapping all the velvet flowers and Ye Jintang had not had time to pay, Jiang Zhi reached out to take the wooden box and handed the aunt six taels of silver.

The auntie never expected that it would be Jiang Zhi who paid. She was obviously surprised and her eyes swept over the two of them imperceptibly.

Ye Jintang was speechless and looked up at the sky. Looking at the gossipy look on the aunt's face, she probably misunderstood the relationship between the two.

She didn't bother to explain and just turned and left.
