The Little Lucky Girl

After the eunuch finished reading the contents, he said as usual: "My lords, please accept my order."

Zheng Huan and the others did not move.

The eunuch didn't care. He had seen this situation many times: many people were so busy crying that they didn't hear it; even if they heard it, they pretended not to know. It wasn't like he was announcing any good news, so why would he keep it for later?

He was just about to put it away when he saw the child looking at him with his round eyes...the imperial edict in his hand.

He paused and asked, "You want it?"

Ming Youyou nodded.

Even if the eunuch wanted to give it to her, it would be fine, since the child is also involved.

The system asked curiously: "What do you want it for?"

"I am useful," Ming Youyou touched it and put it in his arms. "Don't storytellers always say that when someone gets an imperial edict, the village chief bursts into tears and immediately opens the ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors; when someone else takes out an imperial edict, the village chief bursts into tears and immediately orders the whole village to kill chickens and sheep... I also want to see our village chief cry."

System: “…Don’t you want to think about what’s written in the imperial edict?” Is this a good thing?

Ming Youyou was silent for a moment. "It's okay. The village chief and his men are illiterate. I'll put it away as soon as he stops crying."

The eunuch who announced the decree left, and there were only four of them left in the luxurious prison.

Feng Xu looked at the other two people and asked, "Why does the name of 'Yuqing County' sound so familiar to me?"

Lu Tai also nodded, "I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

Ming Youyou interrupted, "My home is right there."

"Oh, yes," Feng Xu remembered, "the place that said bad things about us."

He paused and said, "Is your family very poor?"

Ming Youyou was very angry, "My family is very well off, not poor at all." Although they are not very rich either.

"The county magistrate said that our county has mountains and water. As long as you have hands and feet, you can go hunting in the mountains and go fishing in the water. You will never die of poverty."

Feng Xu found it strange. "Isn't it said that the places where we are exiled are all miserable? Since Yuqing County is not bad, why did they exile us there?"

Magistrate Tao was also asking, "Why was Yuqing County chosen?"

"I heard that it was decided by Prince Xiao himself," the lawyer had already inquired about it. "It is said that Prince Xiao was furious after waking up and felt that the punishment for Zheng Huan and the others was too light, so he decided on their exile place himself. Your Excellency, you will never guess what he chose in the end."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Prince Xiao marked the border areas on the map and asked the maids to throw darts with rouge. In the end, the area with the most rouge on the map was chosen." The master added: "I think Prince Xiao does not understand the situation in Yuqing County. He only left it as a backup because there are many mountains and it looks remote."

"It sounds like a joke," Magistrate Tao pointed at the table and frowned, "but I always feel that this Prince Xiao is a little bit unusual. Although Yuqing County is inconspicuous, it is backed by Daqing Mountain. Across the mountain are Daqi and Daliang."

Lord Tao stretched out his hand to relax his brows and said, "Forget it, never mind. If there is a problem, it is Qi's problem. The more chaotic they are, the better."

"By the way, how did Xiao Ningyi get the map?"

"His Majesty had someone send it over. His Majesty was very happy to hear that Da Qi did not take the opportunity to increase our annual tribute. As soon as Prince Xiao asked for it, he agreed."

"Did you take it back after you used it?"

"It seems... not. Besides, it's all stained with rouge, so there's no point in taking it back."

Tao County Magistrate: ...I feel so bad! Dayu only has a few maps, and he keeps them all in the palace like treasures. He has only seen them a few times. Your Majesty is also a carefree person. Those are maps, maps, why are you giving them to the prince of another country?

He looked at the transfer order on the desk and suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to leave the capital. He had been worrying so much every day that his hair was almost falling out.

Ming Youyou and his companions set off three days later. The county government sent an ox cart to take them out of the city, and County Magistrate Tao followed behind.

"Sir, haven't you already said goodbye to us?" Yesterday, Magistrate Tao and Mrs. Tao gave them a farewell party and treated them to a large table of delicious food.

She saw two large carts following Lord Tao and said happily, "You gave us so many things. You are so polite."

Magistrate Tao blocked her gaze with his hand and said, "Don't look at it. That's my luggage. You have no share in it."

"Are you going on a long journey, sir?"

"Yes, I have been transferred and will be serving as a county magistrate somewhere else." Lord Tao sighed.

"Going somewhere far away?" Ming Youyou was a little sad. Lord Tao was a good man and the food in his house was delicious. She wanted to go back to Chang'an to visit him in the future.

"It's quite far, as far as where you want to go." County Magistrate Tao blinked.

Ming Youyou thought about this in her mind and then responded, "You are going to Yuqing County too?"

Magistrate Tao smiled and nodded.

Ming Youyou was so happy, "Sir, will you come with us?"

"No, I need to go and take over earlier. You guys are walking too slowly."

Ming Youyou and the others felt a little regretful. If only they could be with Lord Tao, they would feel much more at ease.

"Okay then. I'll visit you at the county government office later." I'll also take a video of you solving a case.

Both she and the system were very happy. They thought they could no longer fleece Lord Tao, but unexpectedly, the sheep followed them again.

The sun rose a little higher and the sunlight shone on Magistrate Tao. Ming Youyou felt that his head seemed brighter.

"Your hair has thinned again. I'll ask my grandfather to make you some hair growth potion when I get back. His potion is very effective. Don't worry, your hair will grow again after you use it."

Uncle Zhengdao said that people who take good-looking photos will get extra points, and she was afraid that if Lord Tao became ugly, he would lose points.

Magistrate Tao didn't know why the child's thoughts wandered to his hair, but growing hair was always a good thing, so he smiled and nodded, "Thank you in advance."

"You're welcome. You're welcome." Ming Youyou said with a smile.

After leaving the city gate, County Magistrate Tao rode his horse at full speed; Ming Youyou and the others were arranged to meet their respective families.

Six days later, Ming Youyou finally saw his parents again.

Her mother Yang immediately hugged her and started crying. After she finished crying, she slapped her hard a few times and said, "I told you not to listen and be brave, but you dared to sneak into the restaurant. Now you are in big trouble..."

Her father Ming Dalang waited until her mother had cried enough, then pulled her aside and said with red eyes: "Master Tao has told us that you are just a by-product among the exiled people. The guards will not make things difficult for you. Just be smart and find a way to rest when you are really tired. They should not care."

He originally wanted to take his wife with him, but this time the exile clearly stated that they were not allowed to follow, and they were not even allowed to take extra things.

Moreover, Lord Du also advised him that even if he returned to his hometown, as an ordinary citizen he could not do much, so it would be better for him to stay in the capital, accumulate more connections, and rescue the child earlier.

"Don't worry, my daughter. Dad will study and become an examiner later." Ming Dalang said fiercely.

Ming Youyou thought back to the way her father used to sleep with a book in his hand, and said without confidence, "Dad, don't force yourself."

Yang pushed her husband aside and handed Ming Youyou a package. "I sewed some gold beans in your clothes. When you need to spend money, you can quietly take them out and use them. Be careful not to let anyone snatch them away. Also, you should usually wear men's clothes for now."

Ming Dalang also interrupted, "Don't fight with others if there is nothing to do. If you are bullied, don't be a coward. If you can't beat them, just bite them, and run away immediately after biting..."

Ming Youyou felt sad. She went forward and hugged her parents, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
