At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 38: Scaring Away the Mother and Daughter
"Aunt Wang, please name a price. I'll buy that girl." After Yu Yunxin said this, she sat down under the pavilion in the yard and looked at the mother and daughter.
"Princess, look, I'll give you the maid you mentioned." Wang Yuanxiang said as she handed a contract of sale to Yu Yunxin. After Yu Yunxin took it, she took out a silver note of 100 taels and gave it to Wang Yuanxiang. She stood up and walked towards the front yamen.
Watching Yu Yunxin leave, Yu Yunxuan came to Wang Yuanxiang and said, "Mother, we made some money. That girl only got eight taels of silver, and my elder sister will give you one hundred taels."
Wang Yuanxiang was also surprised when she saw the banknotes and said, "This little girl is really generous. It seems that we need to get more money from her during this period of time."
"Then how about we go buy some servants?" Yu Yunxuan said.
"No, there won't be a next time. Let's wait for her to go out and follow her to see." Wang Yuanxiang said and stuffed the 100 taels back into her arms. 100 taels was not much for her, she wanted more. During this period of time, she also knew that Yu Yunxin not only had gold, silver and jewelry awarded by the emperor and empress twice, but also bought several hills and tea gardens outside Nanling County, as well as many shops. She didn't expect that she was so good at business at such a young age. Although she was a concubine, she could also ask this stepdaughter for some benefits.
"Father." Yu Yunxin came to the study and said to her father who was still busy.
"Is there anything wrong?" Yu Tinghai asked Yu Yunxin who walked in alone.
Yu Yunxin handed the letter from Old Lady Lin to Yu Tinghai. Yu Tinghai took it and read it for a while before saying, "I also received a secret letter from the emperor, asking me to cooperate with the governor to prevent any tribal spies from the Southern Dian Kingdom. This time, the emperor sent 5,000 craftsmen from the Ministry of Works. Asked me to send people to protect these people."
Craftsmen are an important part of building fortifications, and are as important as food and grass before the war. There are also many tribes in Nanling County close to the southern barbarian area, and the Tusi royal family and others have a close relationship with the Southern Yunnan Kingdom.
"Xin'er, it's not safe here. I will arrange for you to leave Wangshan County. I will feel at ease if you go to Nanling County." Yu Tinghai said.
"Father, I won't leave. Why don't you let my second sister and Aunt Wang leave?" Yu Yunxin replied firmly.
"Princess." Qiu Shuang walked in hurriedly and said.
"Qiushuang, why are you so reckless?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"Princess, I have something to tell you." Qiu Shuang glanced at Yu Tinghai and then at Yu Yunxin.
"Just say it, we are all family." Yu Yunxin said to Qiu Shuang who was hesitant to speak.
"I saw a strange mark on the back of the girl you rescued. I saw it accidentally when I was asking her to change her clothes," Qiu Shuang said softly.
"What is the mark?" Yu Yunxin asked.
Qiu Shuang came to the desk and started drawing. After she finished, she looked at Yu Yunxin and Yu Tinghai.
"This is the mark of a martial arts sect." Yu Tinghai said.
"I know it was Qianyue Valley when I saw it during the martial arts conference." Yu Yunxin said, "Qiushuang, go back first and don't let that girl find out anything unusual. Don't tell anyone about this."
"Okay, Princess." Qiu Shuang said and walked out of the study as if nothing had happened.
"Qianyue Valley, Qianyue Valley is just in the southwest of Nanling County. Yun Xin, you have offended the people of Qianyue Valley." Yu Tinghai asked.
"The female assassin that cousin Lin Shan captured last time was the daughter of Qianyue Valley Master. They came here to find me. It seems that Shangguan Hongling hasn't given up yet." Yu Yunxin said.
Yu Tinghai directly asked Captain Li to call Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan into the study.
"Master, what do you want to talk to me about?" Wang Yuanxiang glanced at Yu Yunxin and thought that Yu Yunxin had complained to Yu Tinghai, "Master, Yunxuan is still young. I will teach her. I won't let her beat the servants next time."
"Wang Yuanxiang, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that as a young lady of the Yu family, how can you beat up a servant at will?" Yu Tinghai said angrily: "I didn't ask you to come here for this matter. I have something more important to do."
When Wang Yuanxiang heard that it was not to beat the servants, what was it? She was not doing anything bad! She looked at Yu Tinghai with a confused look.
"Wangshan County is not safe, and the army will be here soon." Yu Tinghai said, "Take the two children to Nanling County City and don't tell anyone."
"Dad, I said I won't go. I still have a lot to say to Lord Li. You can't let me leave." Yu Yunxin said, "You should let Aunt Wang and Second Sister leave."
"What do you mean there's going to be a war? Well! Well! Is Nanling County safe? I'd better go back to Beijing." Wang Yuanxiang said.
“I don’t know whether it’s safe or not, but I heard that the Diannan Kingdom is good at using poisonous insects, and they also like to launch sneak attacks. Nanling County may not be safe either.” Yu Yunxin looked at the mother and daughter and deliberately scared them.
"Let's go back to Beijing. Xuan'er, let's pack our bags." Wang Yuanxiang said as she wanted to take Yu Yunxuan away. As soon as she reached the door of the study, she said, "Xin'er, do you want your aunt to help you take those rewards back to Beijing?"
"Aunt Wang, I think it's better to forget it. The road is not safe. I believe that grandpa can deal with the country in southern Yunnan. Otherwise, you should stay." Yu Yunxin said.
"No, my mother and I can't help much if we stay, so let's leave!" Wang Yuanxiang shook her hand and left the study.
"Ha! Ha! The back court is finally quiet." Yu Yunxin said with a smile.
"Why are you scaring the mother and daughter?" Yu Tinghai poked Yu Yunxin's forehead with his finger.
"Aren't you one too? Dad! When will grandpa and the others get here?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"It should be soon. After all, your second uncle has already taken a group of people to Nanchuan Mountain. They don't dare to act rashly over there in southern Yunnan." Yu Tinghai said.
Yu Yunxin asked Chunyu and Qiu Yingying to come and help the mother and daughter pack their luggage. Before leaving, she gave them some gifts, which were not worth much anyway. She also gave them two thousand taels of silver, hoping that they would not come again.
In the carriage, Yu Yunxuan pouted and said, "Mother Yu Yunxin is so stingy that she only gave us two thousand taels of silver. It's not even enough to cover our expenses along the way."
"Okay, Wangshan County is not safe, and Nanling County may not be safe either. I don't want to stay here. I heard that there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants here in spring. Let's go back to Beijing!" Wang Yuanxiang interrupted Yu Yunxuan.
"Mother told me that she hopes that my elder sister will be bitten to death by a snake next spring, or killed by Nanyizi. Then we won't have to live under her will, and her dowry and shop will be mine." Yu Yunxuan cursed Yu Yunxin in her heart and said the curse out loud. But they didn't expect that the cursed people would get better and better.
The driver outside heard the vicious words of the mother and daughter. Their eldest daughter treated them badly in Wangshan County. The mother and daughter ate the eldest daughter's food and used the eldest daughter's food. He deliberately made the carriage bump a few times.
The mother and daughter were so shaken in the carriage that their buttocks bounced up and down. They cursed: "Do you know how to drive, driver? You are shaking me to death."
After returning to Wangshan County, Yu Yunxin came to the experimental field and looked at the wheat sprouts. She found Lord Li who was working in the field and said, "Lord Li, I want to borrow some seeds from you."
When Lord Li saw that it was the princess, he immediately walked up to Yu Yunxin and said, "Princess, I don't have much else, but I have seeds." Then he took Yu Yunxin into the warehouse. The warehouse was like a bookshelf with the names of vegetables written on each shelf. Yu Yunxin wrote the name of each vegetable with charcoal and put them in the package.
"Princess, these are all for spring planting. What are you going to do?" asked Lord Li.
"Master Li, let me keep some space over there in my tea garden. I will plant some when the time comes." Yu Yunxin replied, "By the way, do you have any news about the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry?"
"Yes, this time we came to Wangshan County with the ordnance craftsmen. Is a hundred people enough for the princess?" Lord Li replied.
"Okay, Lord Li, have you chosen a place?" Yu Yunxin asked again.
"We chose Chenjia Village. There is a piece of wasteland there, which is basically all rocks. No one in the village will buy it." Lord Li said.
"Take me to see the place!" Yu Yunxin said.
"Princess, do you understand the art of Feng Shui?" Lord Li asked again.
"What's wrong with Lord Li?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"My father is a Feng Shui master who has studied Feng Shui very deeply. There is something strange about Chenjia Village. My family chose the manure pit because of its special location." Lord Li said as he brought Yu Yunxin to the vacant land Lord Li mentioned. He picked up the compass and said, "When a house meets Pojun, it will be destroyed first and then built."
"Sir Li, you are really good at farming and Feng Shui!" Yu Yunxin said as she looked at what Sir Li said.
"I have a national master in the capital who will choose the land for me to plant. I don't have to worry about it. Every time the national master chooses the land, it is always prosperous. I have been planting the land for so many years. Knowing this skill is nothing. The princess is really amazing. She can find the spring water source in the mountains and rivers to save the people. That's amazing."
"Princess, what do you think the Sifu Mountain looks like over here?" Lord Li asked, standing in an open space.
Yu Yunxin looked up at Sifu Mountain in the distance and said, "What does it look like? It's still a mountain, isn't it?" When she said this and looked at the mountain again, Sifu Mountain looked like two bamboo shoots growing together.
He blurted out: "Double bamboo shoots."
"That's right, it's getting better and better." Lord Li clapped his hands and said, "This piece of land is most suitable for a manure pit."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin covered her hands and laughed, "Master Li, you don't look like the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, but more like a wandering Taoist priest. I asked you to choose a manure pit, but you still used a compass to check the Feng Shui. You are not choosing a ancestral grave for others."
"Princess, you are wrong. Don't you want the Ministry of Works to generate biogas and heat water? We can't be careless. I looked at the astrology and it is auspicious to start the construction in the next two days." Lord Li continued.
"Okay, Master Li, you can study here! I won't bother you anymore." Yu Yunxin left after saying that and came to Huashan Village. There were several women gathered at the entrance of the village, sewing various dolls, including ordinary duck dolls. Only one woman was sewing a rag doll with ancient style. The stitches were delicate and even the eyes were embroidered in a realistic way, with eyebrows and eyelashes that looked like they were moving.
"Auntie, why are your embroidery skills so good? How much do you want for this doll?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"Girl, this was something Miss Chunyu asked me to sew. She provided the fabric, so I can't sell it to you," said the aunt.
"Our ordinary ones are much cheaper than He's. Mr. He, your craftsmanship is really good." said another aunt.
"It takes me a lot of time to embroider alone. What are you to envy? Wouldn't it be different if you embroider more?" He replied while embroidering the doll.
"Princess, why didn't you come here in a carriage?" Chunyu brought a dozen women to the village entrance to collect babies. When they saw Yu Yunxin in cloth clothes, they walked over and asked.
"Could it be a princess? She's dressed so simply." A woman muttered.
"Our princess must have gone to the fields to check on the winter wheat." Chunyu walked up to Yu Yunxin and said.
"Winter wheat? Princess, can you also give us some seeds? I heard from the people in the neighboring Chenjia Village that it will not affect next year's spring planting. Besides, we have the fertilizer the princess taught us to pile up, so we don't have to worry about not being able to grow crops." said the villagers.
"Everyone, the head of the Agricultural Department brought a small amount of winter wheat seeds this time. I will sell you seeds next year, so don't worry." Yu Yunxin looked at everyone and said.
"That's great. Now that we have a princess in Wangshan County, we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore."
"Yes! Princess, you are stronger than men. You are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. I saw you sitting on the ridge of the field and eating while looking at the rice fields before the second crop of rice headed. "The villagers surrounded Yu Yunxin and talked to each other.
The clothes were just to make it easier for her to work in the fields. Yu Yunxin went to the tea garden amidst the laughter and enthusiastic embrace of the villagers. Unexpectedly, the villagers also sent some eggs, chickens and ducks outside the tea garden. No one knew who sent them, but they were piled up at the entrance of the tea garden.
"Princess, you should come by carriage next time, otherwise the villagers will trample down the threshold of the tea garden." Qiu Yingying said.
"Okay! I also ran here from the next village this time. Next time, I can just use light skills to come here." Yu Yunxin said.
"Princess, the dolls are almost ready, and the porcelain from Shanghe County is also ready. I plan to sell them in Kangzhuang Town tomorrow." Chunyu said.
"Sister Qiu, please select a few strong men to help." Yu Yunxin ordered.
"Yes, Princess." As soon as Qiu Yingying returned, she saw a carriage team in the distance. She knew without looking that it was Jin Chen and his team coming to pick up the goods.
But when Qiu Yingying and Jin Chen worked together, their eyes were full of pink bubbles.
"How did these two get together?" Yu Yunxin asked.
"Princess, these two must have fallen in love at first sight!" Chunyu said with a smile.
"Princess, you see, Sister Yingying is already eighteen years old. If she were in the village, she would be considered an old girl." Chunyu said.
"Do you dislike Sister Qiu for being old?" Yu Yunxin teased Chunyu.
"No, the princess doesn't want you to lift the punishment for Sister Yingying and the others in advance. Let her and Jin Chen live happily together." Chunyu said.
"That's right. There's nothing wrong with punishment that can be settled with money. Now I want to let them both go to the Nanling County dock, and let Sister Qiu be the owner of Wangshan Winery, which can be regarded as a dowry for her." Yu Yunxin said.
"Miss, you are so partial to me. You always send wine to the workshop." Chunyu said.
"What's wrong? Is our little Chunyu jealous? Don't worry, when you get married, I will give you a big jewelry shop. Our Chunyu is my treasure." Yu Yunxin teased Chunyu.
