At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yu Yunxin went to the grocery store to buy some sauces and spices, and asked Qiu Shuang to go to the countryside to buy a few young chickens. After returning to the kitchen, she began to make fried chicken legs and wings, meat skewers, chicken nuggets with salt and pepper, star-shaped chicken nuggets, green onion chicken rings, and chicken steaks. It was lunchtime and she would not feel sick of eating these high-calorie foods.

At noon, Yu Yunxin asked Lian Qiao and Qiu Shuang to deliver the dishes to her second aunt Bai Yan and Yu Tinghai respectively. When they looked at the dishes, they praised them very much.

"Cousin, don't you want to tell me that these are all made of chicken?" Lin Dengyuan asked, looking at the table full of food.

"That's right, how did you guess it?" Yu Yunxin deliberately showed an incredible expression.

"This is really made of chicken. How can you make so many dishes out of it?" Lin Dengyuan picked up the fried chicken leg and ate it.

"There are more ways to cook it that I haven't tried yet. How does it taste?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Not bad, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, I don't even want to leave." Lin Dengyuan took a bite of the chicken leg and said, "Let's go to Baiyun Villa together tomorrow! Let's go to the martial arts conference, and we can be back in five days."

"Let's leave the day after tomorrow! We have to select duck herders tomorrow, and we can choose people to go to the southwest area tomorrow afternoon." Yu Yunxin said.

"Good afternoon, I want to go and watch the duck-herding competition in Wangshan County. I heard that only when one family works together can they herd the most ducks. Today, a family named Zhang from Xinglin Village in Wangshan County herded the most ducks." Lin Dengyuan said.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "I'll go take a look after I finish the work at the tea garden and Huyue Village." Although she said that, it was a pity that the tea garden was busy for half the afternoon, and Huyue Village was busy until sunset.

Although two thousand people have started the construction of Huyue Village, Yu Yunxin also has to hand over her plan to the person in charge. She plans to build a large vegetable shed outside the ash forest, half-surrounding the entire ash forest. The original village of Huyue Village will also be renovated and turned into a mountain town. There will be an inn with a four-story building, a snack street, and a cave near the village. Yu Yunxin transformed the cave into a hot spring leisure club. All the materials are locally sourced, and even the bricks are made of soil near Huyue Village. This brick kiln will be of great use in the future. Now most of the labor force in the entire county is digging water conservancy projects. Fortunately, there are two thousand people left by Lin Jingmo, otherwise there will be not enough manpower.

On the second day, Lin Dengyuan and Bai Yan watched the duck-herding competition outside Xing Village early in the morning. Yu Yunxin also went to see the excitement. This time, the county magistrates of the six counties in Nanjun and the duck-herders selected from other counties came to an open space outside Xing Village, where there was a pond of more than 50 acres. The competition was to drive the ducks in the pond into the rice fields and into the duck cages. The more ducks were driven and the faster they were driven, the winner would be. Of course, there would be opponents who would trip them up. Some people would directly release dogs to chase the ducks away, some would deliberately whistle, and some would deliberately release chickens to mess with the ducks. Except for the fact that people could not interfere, there were all kinds of strange methods.

Yu Yunxin was infected by the atmosphere, cheering and laughing continuously. A few participants were relatively young and were chased away by a group of ducks, and everyone laughed at them.

"Whose child is this? Why let such a young child herd ducks?" a villager laughed.

But just as he finished laughing, the child brought hundreds of ducks into the duck cage. The two adults helped the child to disperse the ducks behind his buttocks into several large duck cages. In this way, they drove 5,200 ducks directly. There is no doubt that they beat the 3,000 ducks driven by the Zhang family.

"Which county is that kid from?" asked Governor Yang.

"Reporting to the governor, we are from Donghe Village in Nanchuan County. This family originally made a living by raising ducks. Their surname is Ding." said Magistrate Ding of Nanchuan County.

The competition ended in the afternoon amid the joy of the villagers, and thirty households were shortlisted.

"That's right, the first place will be rewarded with 100 taels, the second place will be 80, the third place will be 60, and the rest will be 40 taels." Prefect Yang said as he took the silver wrapped in red cloth and personally awarded it to the 30 families.

Soon, Governor Yang selected 25 households to drive 60,000 ducks to the southwest, and left five or six households in Nanling County to drive 20,000 ducks to take turns driving ducks to kill locusts in each village in Nanling County. Some of the larger locusts would be caught directly by the villagers' children to feed their own chickens.

Yu Yunxin didn't expect that she only mentioned it briefly, and didn't expect that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed that there would be a locust plague in the southwest this year, but Yu Yunxin's method of driving the ducks killed the locust plague in the ducks' stomachs. Yang Yunsheng also quickly sent over 20,000 ducklings. This time they were smaller than the last time, and they were obviously newly hatched ducklings. Fortunately, they were raised under her nose, otherwise the survival rate would be reduced.

After arranging everything in Wangshan County, Yu Yunxin went to Baiyun Villa with Bai Yan and Lin Dengyuan.

"Okay, I will send someone to notify each county magistrate and ask them to bring villagers who can herd ducks to Wangshan County to participate in the duck herding." After saying this, Prefect Yang immediately sent a courier to notify each county magistrate.

Yu Yunxin had no interest in the duck-herding competition at the beginning. She now had to keep the wheat soaked in water in a tool. It would take about six days for the wheat to germinate in the hot weather. Lian Qiao brought the women imprisoned in the back court to help wash the wheat. Then she kept the wheat in a bamboo basin prepared by Yu Yunxin and watered it every day.

"Cousin, it's not the season to plant wheat now. Why are you letting the wheat sprout? And why do you need so much?" Lin Dengyuan asked curiously.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "I didn't plant these wheats, but I have a use for them."

"Oh! You brought me here just to watch the wheat washing?" Lin Dengyuan asked.

"Of course not. I want to turn this place into a breeding farm. You see, the 300 acres of vacant land over there were all bought by me. I also bought the tea garden, bamboo forest and valley here." Yu Yunxin said.

"But there are many hills over there in Huyue Village. Do you need to prepare for both sides?" Lin Dengyuan asked.

"It's okay. I have someone in charge here. The same is true for Huyue Village." Yu Yunxin replied, "Let's go home and I'll make you something delicious."

After Yu Yunxin finished speaking, she told some leading women not to work too hard, and those who knew how to raise poultry could help Uncle Ding and Uncle Yang's family. After arranging everyone, Yu Yunxin came to Wangshan County. This was her first time shopping in this county. It was a pity that it was not very lively here. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot and there were only a few stores open on the whole street.

Only two maids, Lianqiao and Qiushuang, were brought along on this trip. Chunyu and Yu Yunxin handed over the progress of the tea garden and Huyue Village to Chunyu. There was no other way. Lianqiao was originally the second aunt's person, and she couldn't go out without a maid. Even if she brought them all, she was worried about the tea garden and Huyue Village. So she couldn't be blamed!

Fortunately, Chunyu did not complain about Yu Yunxin. She was happy to stay and kept both sides in order during the time Yu Yunxin was away.

When Yu Linshan and the old man in green heard that it was a martial arts conference at Baiyun Villa, they followed along.

Baiyun Villa is just across the river from Jinzhou and Nanling County. When you arrive at the Nanling County Pier, you can take the ferry directly across the river, and then ride a horse for three hours to reach Baiyun Villa.

As soon as they got off the boat, many people from the martial arts world rushed to Baiyun Villa.

"Mother and cousin don't have any horses here, so let's rent a carriage! Now the price of horses and carriages in Jinzhou Xincheng is twice as expensive as usual." Lin Dengyuan said.

"No need, your grandfather will come to pick us up soon." Bai Yan said as she glanced in the direction of Baiyun Villa.

As expected, a carriage with the flag of Baiyun Villa flying drove towards them. Two maids in white clothes got off the carriage and walked up to Bai Yan and said, "Miss, we have been waiting here for a long time. Come with us."

"Bai Zhi, Bai Shu, this is my niece and her maid Qiu Shuang. You take them to the carriage first. I will just ride a horse and follow the carriage." Bai Yan said to the two maids.

"Aunt, I'll go there on horseback too. This place is not far from Baiyun Villa, don't worry!" Up to now, Yu Yunxin has basically traveled by carriage and has never ridden a horse.

Bai Yan was a little hesitant when she heard this, but she thought that Yu Yunxin also knew how to ride under the guidance of Old Lady Lin, and said, "Okay, Bai Shu, prepare the horse."

Bai Zhu looked at Yu Linshan and the old man in green standing on the side and asked, "Are these two riding together?"

The old man in green said, "I am already old. Lin Shan, please rent me a smaller carriage. I am old and I am afraid that riding a horse will break my old bones."

Yu Linshan said, "Second Aunt, we are here to watch the martial arts conference, so we won't bother Baiyun Villa to take care of us. We can just watch the fun from the outside. I'll ask you to take care of Yun Xin."

"Of course. Lin Shan, you really don't want to go to Baiyun Villa with me?" Lin Dengyuan asked.

"No, I'm an old man, so I'll just go with Young Master Yu! We'll meet again in the future." After saying this, the old man in green took Yu Linshan away.

Bai Zhu also quickly came over with the horse. Yu Yunxin and Lin Dengyuan jumped onto the white horse that Bai Zhu brought.

"My cousin, you are so awesome. I didn't expect that your lightness skills have improved a lot after not seeing you for a few days." Yu Yunxin's riding a horse was a set of lightness skills that caught Lin Dengyuan's eyes. It was very perfect, so Lin Dengyuan praised it.

Yu Yunxin smiled and said, "I have indeed learned some internal strength during this period. When cousin Deng Yuan arrives at Baiyun Villa, we can exchange some experiences."

"Okay! I'm using silver needles as hidden weapons, so you have to be careful." Lin Dengyuan said while riding a horse.

"If you want to compete with me using hidden weapons, then forget it. I surrender." Yu Yunxin responded immediately when she heard that he would use silver needles as hidden weapons.

"Okay, then I'll teach you how to use silver needles." Lin Dengyuan said.

"Okay! Do you know Shura Sect? Last time, my father and I were drugged by the silver needles of Shura Sect. Fortunately, they only sent us to Liuzhou." Yu Yunxin said, remembering what happened last time.

"Two of the disciples in Shura Sect were elite disciples of Baiyun Villa. I didn't expect them to leave Baiyun Villa and go to Shura Sect." Lin Dengyuan said, "The one in your group was a drug that was originally from Baiyun Villa. Hongsheng and Baiji stole the poison secret manual from Baiyun Villa and joined Shura Sect. Later, they developed a poison that was different from the one in Baiyun Villa and even better than the one in Baiyun Villa. These two were originally from Southern Xinjiang and were poison experts before they came to Baiyun Villa. You must be more careful of the poison in their hands when you see them in the future."

Bai Yan smiled and said, "It's okay. My Baiyun Villa can cure any poison. When we get there, I'll give you our Baiyun Pill. It can cure any poison, including general drugs and poisons."

"Baiyun Dan?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

"The reason why Baiyun Villa can stand firm in the world is because of Baiyun Pill. We don't have many Baiyun Pills, but many people who travel the world will make friends with our Baiyun Villa. Currently, only the leader of the Qingcheng Sect and the chief escort of the Weiyuan Escort Agency have we cooperated with and given them Baiyun Pills. Of course, there are also swordsmen from the world who come to our Baiyun Villa to ask for Baiyun Pills, it also depends on my grandfather's mood." Lin Dengyuan said proudly.

"Not only that, there are prizes at this martial arts conference. The one who becomes the leader of the martial arts world will not only receive a box of Baiyun Pills, but also the Qingcheng Sect's treasure, the Tianji Stone." Bai Zhi said, leaning her head out of the car window.

"Leader of the martial arts world?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Yes, you see that's why everyone in the martial arts world goes to Baiyun Villa. Some of them naturally go to compete for the position of leader of the martial arts world, and some go to watch the competition among masters, which is also helpful for their own martial arts attainments." Lin Dengyuan said.

By the time we arrived at the foot of Baiyun Villa, there were already crowds of people.

"There are so many people!" Yu Yunxin looked at the huge crowds and saw that even carriages couldn't pass.

Bai Zhi got off the carriage and looked at Baiyun Villa in front of her and said, "This place is not far from Baiyun Villa. Why don't you, Miss, Miss Yu, and Master Yuan, get off the horse and walk over there?"

"Okay, Baizhi, Baishu, you take the horses and carriage to the stables of Baiyun Villa at the foot of the mountain. I will take mother and cousin up the mountain." Lin Dengyuan got off the horse after saying that.

Yu Yunxin also got off the horse, and they all squeezed through the crowd. Some street merchants at the foot of the villa saw so many people and came to the outside of Baiyun Villa to set up stalls.

Some people bought swords and martial arts manuals, and some even set up fortune-telling stalls. Yu Yunxin was also speechless, because no one dared to buy elixirs at Baiyun Villa.

"Get out of the way. Didn't you see the Pavilion Master of Yuelin Pavilion coming? Pedestrians, move aside quickly." A group of men in black violently pushed aside the pedestrians who were blocking the road, leaving a two-meter-wide path. Behind them was a sedan chair for sixteen people.

Because of her weak body, Yu Yunxin was pushed by the crowd to the opposite side of Lin Dengyuan. She almost fell down, but fortunately a masked purple-clothed boy supported her and asked, "Are you okay?"

Yu Yunxin steadied herself and shook her head in the open space. Just as she was about to speak, the man disappeared.

At this time, Qiu Shuang, Lian Qiao and Lin Dengyuan came over and asked, "Yun Xin, are you okay?"

"Miss, why didn't you follow us closely?" Qiu Shuang asked.

"I was just looking at the stalls on both sides and didn't notice those people in black. Who are they?" Yu Yunxin said as she straightened her clothes.

"The assassin from Yuelin Pavilion." Bai Yan came back and said, "Let's go to Baiyun Villa quickly. The Pavilion Master of Yuelin Pavilion has bad intentions."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, she used her lightness skills to fly to the top of a tree in Baiyun Villa and began to shuttle through the woods. Qiu Shuang and Lian Qiao's lightness skills were not very good.

Yu Yunxin had no choice but to take Qiu Shuang and Lian Qiao and follow the sedan chair to Baiyun Villa.
