At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 3 Farewell
"Chun Yu, Qiu Shuang, take all the gold and silver jewelry and silks and satins in my courtyard that cannot be taken away to Linglong Pavilion. Remember not to let Aunt Wang and her daughter see them."
"Miss, will the master never return to Beijing?" Qiu Shuang asked.
"I don't know whether I will return to Beijing or not, but I don't want to leave anything to these mother and daughter after I leave. I can't take Yayunyuan away, but I can take away all the valuable things here." Yu Yunxin said.
Qiu Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't take it with you, Aunt Wang and her daughter will probably own everything after they move into Yayun Courtyard. I'll make the arrangements later. What should we take with us to Wangshan County?"
"Take a few of these Yunluo clothes, they are still very nice to wear in summer. Go to Linglong Pavilion to find some fine cotton clothes for different seasons. Send all the silks and satins here to Linglong Pavilion for Aunt Si to deal with!" Yu Yunxin said while looking at the furnishings in the house: "Take these small incense burners and my Qin teapot away, don't keep them, just leave the furniture!"
"Okay, I'll go back to the general's mansion and tell the old general and the old lady." Lian Qiao handed a bowl of pigeon soup to Yu Yunxin and said.
Yu Yunxin took the pigeon soup cooked by Lian Qiao and sat on a chair beside her to drink it. The soup had no taste and even very little salt.
"The Forsythia soup is too bland!" Yu Yunxin asked after taking a sip.
"Miss, I specially added a little salt to this soup. Just make it for the next few days! A light soup will be good for the scabs on your body." Lian Qiao said.
Yu Yunxin looked at the pigeon soup helplessly, shook her head, and drank it all in one breath. It was no different from drinking tea. She didn't know how many days it would take to recover. It was too hard to eat a light diet every day. She wanted to eat barbecue and fried chicken in the future.
Three days later, Yu Yunxin and her father got on a carriage to leave the capital. Yu Tinghai said to Wang Yuanxiang, "Don't worry, Niansi, he is in a safe place. Don't go looking for him. If I find out, don't see Niansi again. I will arrange for someone to bring him back to stay for three days at the end of each month. And you keep the deed of the Yu Mansion. If I don't return to the capital within five years, you two can sell the house."
"Don't worry, master. I will take good care of the Yu Mansion and Yunxuan. I will wait for you to come back here. I believe that the emperor will once again use you." Wang Yuanxiang said.
"Old He, you just stay in the mansion! You can be the housekeeper." Yu Tinghai said to the old housekeeper standing aside.
"Sir, you should take me with you! I am only ten years older than you. I have been taking care of you for more than 30 years. I don't know what to do if I leave you." Uncle He said.
"Uncle He, please pack up quickly and follow the master. How can a young boy like Yu Linshan take good care of the master?" Wang Yuanxiang said, looking at Uncle He.
When Uncle He heard this, he immediately turned around and made preparations.
"Master, you should take Uncle He with you. Don't worry, I will take good care of the Yu Mansion." Wang Yuanxiang said to Yu Tinghai.
"Okay, Old He, just get ready and get in the car." Yu Tinghai said to Uncle He who didn't want to stay.
Upon hearing this, Uncle He immediately turned around and went back to his room. The servants of the Yu Mansion and the housekeeper's servants quickly picked up a package and walked out as soon as they entered the yard.
Yu Yunxin and Lian Qiao Chunyu Qiu Shuang sat in another carriage. Yu Tinghai's carriage only had a couch and a small tea table. The extra space was used to put some books. It could only accommodate two people. Although Yu Linshan was not very old, he knew kung fu and how to drive a carriage, so he sat next to the driver.
Yu Yunxin is a coachman with twenty years of driving experience in the Lin residence, and was specially appointed by Old Madam Lin.
When Yu Tinghai saw Uncle He get in the car, he immediately asked Yu Linshan to drive away, and Yu Yunxin's carriage followed.
At the city gate, there was a woman in yellow, dressed like a shopkeeper, holding a sandalwood box in her hand. Behind her was a carriage, which was custom-made by her herself. There was an ice jar hanging inside, and a bamboo and rattan lounge chair. The rattan chair was covered with a special cotton mat, and there was just enough space for two people to enter and exit.
When he saw Yu Tinghai's carriage, he immediately went to greet him and said, "Master Yu, Yun Xin, wait a moment."
As soon as Yu Tinghai saw the woman, he immediately asked Yu Linshan to stop the carriage, opened the carriage curtain, glanced at the woman standing in front of him and asked, "Si Niang, why are you here?"
"Sir Yu, these are the deeds and profits of the shop left by your madam. I asked the accountant to calculate them last night. Nanling County is long and mountainous, and you can ask you to take care of these small changes on the way. And Yun Xin's injury hasn't healed yet, so I specially ordered this horse for her." After saying this, Si Niang handed the sandalwood box to Yu Tinghai.
Yu Tinghai wanted to put the box back into Si Niang's hands, but Si Niang continued, "Master Yu, you should take it. I'm afraid that Aunt Wang will come to my shop to cause trouble after you leave. It's safest to keep these banknotes and house deeds with you."
"Si Niang, you have been the only one managing these shops in the years since my wife passed away. Every year, you keep the accounts and money clear at a glance. Every year, in addition to Yun Xin's clothing expenses, you are also responsible for the clothing expenses of Wang Yuanxiang and her two children. After I leave, you don't need to worry about Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter. Just find someone to marry." Yu Fuhai said.
"I promised Jing Zhao that I would manage the three shops she left behind until Yunxin gets married. Besides, I have someone I'm waiting for and I'll have to marry him in this life. Sir Yu, don't worry about me. These are the profits of Linglong Pavilion and the rouge shop this year. Take them. By the way, I also have a rouge shop in Nanling County. In the future, I will put the profits of all the branch shops in Beijing and Jiangnan in Nanling County and give them to you, sir." After Si Niang finished speaking, she came to Yu Yunxin's carriage.
As soon as Yu Yunxin saw Si Niang, she couldn't help but call her "Auntie Si." In her impression, this Si Niang was a very charming woman. Not only was her embroidery outstanding, but the clothes she designed were also sought after by many famous families. If you didn't wear clothes from Linglong Pavilion, you wouldn't be considered a famous family in the capital. Her makeup was also first-rate. She was considered the number one female shopkeeper in the capital.
"Yun Xin, this is the carriage I booked for you. It will take about a month to get to Wangshan County. Your injuries haven't healed yet, and it's not good for you to travel long distances. With this carriage, I guarantee that you can travel comfortably to Wangshan County." Si Niang looked at Yu Yun Xin with a doting look on her face.
"Then I thank Aunt Si." After saying this, Yu Yunxin jumped down from the original carriage and walked to the carriage behind Aunt Si. She opened it and saw that it was plain on the outside, but comfortable inside.
Si Niang then put some seasonal clothes and some cakes in the back of another carriage for the maidservant she had brought with her and said, "Qiu Shuang and Chun Yu, take good care of your young lady. It's getting late, so you should leave early. Have a safe trip."
"Aunt Si, please take care of my mother's dowry." Yu Yunxin said.
In the past few days, she asked Qiu Shuang to secretly take all the jewelry from her Yayun Courtyard to Linglong Pavilion without anyone knowing.
"Don't worry! I will keep it safe for you without you telling me." After saying this, Si Niang mounted her horse, bid farewell to Yu Tinghai and Yu Yunxin, and left gracefully, leaving only her light yellow back.
Yu Tinghai looked at the things sent by Si Niang, then carried two boxes to Yu Yunxin's new carriage and started the convoy.
"Yun Xin, these two boxes are from the shop left by your mother. I have kept all the profits from these years for you. I don't know how long it will take for me to return to Beijing after this trip to Wangshan County. There are more than 60,000 taels of silver notes in them. Please keep them safe." Yu Tinghai handed both brocade boxes to Yu Yunxin.
When Yu Yunxin heard that 60,000 taels was converted into modern RMB, how much would it be? Fifteen million! A multimillionaire for sure! Yu Yunxin wanted to return it, but Yu Tinghai insisted on giving it to Yu Yunxin.
"Xin'er, if you go to Wangshan County, I don't know how to deal with the things there. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. The emperor asked me to investigate the whereabouts of the 200,000 yuan disaster relief silver. There are many bandits there. Xin'er, you must be careful there. These two brocade boxes are safest in the secret chamber of this carriage." After Yu Tinghai finished speaking, he put the two brocade boxes into a secret chamber in the carriage. The design of this carriage was very ingenious. No one expected that there were four swords, two knives, and an exquisite little dagger in the secret chamber.
Yu Tinghai took out a sword and opened it, revealing several sharp edges. He said, "This sword was made by the former head of the Ou family in the capital. I never thought that Si Niang would be willing to take out this sword for me to defend myself."
"Is there anything special about Dad's sword?" Yu Yunxin asked, looking at the sword in her father's hand.
"This is the sword forged by Ou Canglei. Some swordsmen walking in the world will retreat after seeing the sword forged by Ou Canglei. Although it is not as good as the Canglan Sword and Jinglei Sword that Ou Canglei always wears, if you have a sword forged by Ouyang Canglei, your status as a swordsman will be elevated to several levels. I haven't used a sword for a long time." Yu Tinghai said.
"Dad, you also know martial arts?" Yu Yunxin asked.
I have been learning swordsmanship from the second elder of Qingyi Building since I was a child. When I was fifteen, I passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination. After that, my master disappeared from the world, and even his sword disappeared with him. Later, I learned that he had been protecting me in secret since I passed the examination. It was not until I became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice that I handled a major case and offended a child of a noble family. In order to save me, my master asked this noble family not to be my enemy anymore. He killed all the people of this noble family by himself, and finally died in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice to apologize for his crime. From then on, I stopped using the sword. "Yu Tinghai recalled the past with dignity in his eyes. He was unwilling to say anything more and concealed some of the things that happened in the past.
Yu Yunxin was surprised to hear that her father had such a story.
"Some people's death is destined to pave the way for another. Before he died, he told me to be a good official who deserves justice in the world, so I always listened to him. But now I have been demoted. Yun Xin, since you and Lin Shan are following me to Wangshan County, I will teach you and Lin Shan the swordsmanship of Elder Qingyi. Protect yourselves."
Yu Tinghai picked up four swords and continued, "Here are four swords. Qiu Shuang is also from the Lian family. After we get out of the official road, we will rest here for a while. I will start teaching you three the first sword moves, so that we can kill time along the way."
Yu Yunxin thought that although she did not have a mother after traveling through time, she had a wealthy father who was both civil and military. She should be very grateful to God for letting her live again. Although her start was miserable, she has surpassed the heroines of several novels in the past few days. Should she get a princess in the future?
The caravan was on the road again and a group of common people in coarse cloth came to see them off. The old man was a left-handed cripple. He limped as he walked, holding a bag of coarse cloth and came to the front of the carriage and said, "Sir Yu, I was convicted of murder last year and it was you who believed that I was not a murderer and redressed my injustice. These are the corns we planted this year. I heard that there was a severe drought in Nanling County this year, and I have nothing to see you off." After that, he stuffed the coarse cloth bag into Yu Tinghai's hand, turned around, and limped away as fast as he could.
Yu Tinghai was about to chase him but was stopped by an old woman with white hair. She held a porcelain pot in her hand and said, "Master Yu, this is the wild tea I picked on the mountain. It's not a token of respect."
Yu Yunxin looked at the people who were seeing him off and asked Chunyu, "Are these the people that father once saved?"
The lady holding the teapot is the tea lady. She runs a tea stall in the capital. She met the wife of the Marquis two years ago. The wife of the Marquis liked to drink her wild tea very much. Unfortunately, she was poisoned to death later. So everyone said that she was the murderer. But you don’t know that the murderer is the Marquis. He poisoned his wife’s tea. The reason was that the wife had been childless for three years. The Marquis fell in love with the concubine’s daughter of the Minister of War and wanted to make her his principal wife. The tea lady was turned into a scapegoat by those powerful people. It was our adults who found out the truth and exonerated the tea lady.
At this time, a traveling opera troupe came up to see them off. Yu Yunxin asked again, "What's going on with this troupe?"
"Miss, have you forgotten? It was the Fairy in the Painting case that shocked the whole capital three years ago. An actor, in order to avenge Master Cui Yong, forcibly abducted his wife and killed Master Cui Yong, and almost killed the entire troupe. It was you who discovered the secret of the murder in the painting, found the real murderer, and saved the troupe." Chunyu said with a beaming eyebrow.
It seems that her father is really a detective! Seeing the gifts from ordinary people who came to see him off piled up at Yu Tinghai's feet, Yu Linshan quickly moved all the gifts from the people into the carriage, bowed to the people who came to see him off, and then let Yu Tinghai get on the carriage. The three carriages began to move away from the capital. Behind the carriages were many people who came to see him off. Some of them did not bring any gifts and bowed directly in the direction of the carriage's departure. The people who saw him off did not leave until the carriage disappeared from the eyes of the people who saw him off.
In the Yu Mansion in the capital, Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan were delighted. She sold all the servants in the mansion who had indentures to human traffickers, and drove out those who did not have indentures. The two first went to Yu Tinghai's bedroom and searched around for a long time. They only found fifty taels of silver and a robe of the Ministry of Justice under the pillow. There were also a few sets of tea sets and nothing else.
"Did mother and father take the things you want? Let's go to Yu Yunxin's yard and take a look. I will live in her yard from now on." Yu Yunxuan also helped Wang Yuanxiang to search through the boxes and cabinets, but they found nothing.
"Did he take away all the deeds to Linglong Pavilion and Yanzhi Shop Jewelry Building? I saw that those shops made quite a lot of profit in these years, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver." Wang Yuanxiang said as he searched.
"Since Dad is gone, can't we just go and ask Si Niang to come over?" Yu Yunxuan muttered.
"What do you know? That Si Niang only recognizes the house deed. I'm afraid she won't recognize it without the house deed." Wang Yuanxiang searched for a long time and said with her hands on her hips.
