"You said you were leaving, but you can't just leave. Go, you need to get ready." Su Yunniang was not worried about money, but there were many things at home, and Zhao Xiaoyuan and the others would also be busy. At that time, they were afraid that the family would be busy and disorganized, and it would be bad if something went wrong.
On this trip, Su Yunniang would bring Pan Yushuang with him to pick someone.
In the end, only Xianglan and Baizhi were taken with him, while Zhou and Bao Xia were in charge of the affairs of the house.
As for the others, we were unable to bring them there together, as old Zhao and his people had to deliver items one after another.
Because the exit is very crowded, the valley is also increasingly crowded, once there is a market, the supply of goods must be guaranteed.
Both cars leave. Su Yunniang and Pan Yushuang came out, how could they forget about Yuzhu at home alone? so they took Yuzhu with them.
The three sisters were not lonely at all. Yuzhu chattering always made Su Yunniang and Pan Yushuang laugh.
Qi Xuan sat on the back carriage, leaning against the cushioned sofa and reading books, occasionally he heard their laughter and the corners of his lips curled up.
So far, Emperor Yuanchu had adapted, and the atmosphere in the imperial palace was bright, which was a rare peace.
And there are many undercurrents under tranquility and distinctiveness. Some corrupt officials in the Qing court were torn apart after Pan Yuhu came to Beijing. The ability that Pan Yuhu showed was very striking. He didn't do much, but he saw the results. As a person with no basis, For him, he would soon gain a standing.
Starting from Qingniu County must take a boat to reach the Sishui River. For Pan Yuzhu who had just made her first long trip, everything she saw was strange and it felt like her eyes were never full.
After crossing the Sishui River, it was time for spring flowers to bloom. Su Yunniang silently observed Xianglan and Bai Zhi along the way. He did not take Baoxia with him, because he had his own considerations. He first told the story about the secret land of the Dongning House, so he was afraid that if he brought Baoxia, his mind would wander again.
However, those who were trained, neither Bai Zhi nor Xianglan, showed anything inappropriate. It was only after the train entered the city of Dongning Prefecture that Su Yunniang realized that Xianglan was a little distracted.
Su Yunniang was a very calm person, he did not directly go to Yuelan's courtyard as soon as he arrived, but started looking for the shop as usual.
Perhaps because it is separated by the river, people here always feel that there is something different, both appearance and clothing, and the most obvious difference is the language, they do not speak with consonants. At first glance It sounds like the tongue is big, but the accent is very discreet and the speed of speech is fast. Su Yunniang was still a little unable to handle it.
Xianglan and Bai Zhi were able to answer questions smoothly, and they did not sound like outsiders at all while speaking.
Su Yunniang suspected that they had all studied it in particular, after all he knew that these four servants, one of whom was a native of Dongning Prefecture.
It is difficult to find a store because the community here is very special. Not only outsiders, but the territory of each family is divided into clans, and they compete for every inch of land. However, the people here seem to be very numerous, and friendly on the surface. It was a polite sense of alienation.
Su Yunniang sat by the window and looked out. This is a place that people don't like. Even if they opened a shop here, he would feel depressed. How can there be such a place in the world?
“Nona.” Xianglan came bringing hot tea.
Su Yunniang threw a face: I don't like this place.
“Except the locals, no one will like this place,” Xianglan said with a soft sigh.
Su Yunniang held onto his tea and sipped on it: I see they have opened many shops.
"Miss, you can tell if you pay attention to it, even if the store opens, it was a family arrangement in the past. If one dared to take a life-long decision personally, he would be abandoned by his family. Once abandoned, he would lose the trust of his family. At the ends, if he could not survive, he would choose to die. Everything, which was even a mixed marriage, depended on the clan leader" Xianglan said lightly.
Su Yunniang did not continue asking. If you say who can bring the most complete news? it must be Qi Xuan. And Qi Xuan had been lost ever since he arrived here. And he doesn't know what to do.
As he thought about it, he looked at Qi Xuan from the corner of his eye. He walked across the street in a black robe.
Xianglan smiled: Miss Yushuang said she wants to go for a walk. He took Yuzhu out early in the morning, and Bai Zhi followed him.
“Ya.” Su Yunniang found him and caught up with him.
After arriving here, whether it was themselves or Yushuang's sister, as long as they wanted to get out, Xianglan and Bai Zhi would follow them and never leave some people alone.
There was a knock on the door, and Xianglan went to open the door: Mr. Qi.
“Ya.” Qi Xuan walked in, and Xiang Lan walked out and closed the door from the outside.
After sitting down, Qi Xuan glanced at Su Yunniang: what did you see? .
“No effort allowed in this place.” Su Yunniang frowned slightly: unless we can find strong local supporters, where is the government office here? .
Qi Xuan took the tea in Su Yunnuan's hand and drank it. He drank some bribes.
Su Yunniang wanted to stop him, but his person had already drunk, so he did not say anything.
Putting down his teacup, Qi Xuan said: This is the most special place in Dasheng Kingdom. There are also yamen, but not regulated by officials sent by the court, but by local chieftains. It's not called yamen, but the local government office.
“governmentfour?” Su Yunnuan became interested: is it possible to organize all the families? .
"Well, the chieftains have been around since ancient times. Dongning Prefecture is a special place. Here, the chieftains own their own lands, govern their people, govern their armies, inherit their duties, govern their territories, and join the world. He has the power of a special right to be entrusted his status and title." Qi Xuan said .
Su Yunniang suddenly realized: this is what Emperor Tu meant? .
“Ya.” Qi Xuan lifted the corner of his lips and smiled.
Right now, Xianglan was bringing hot tea, but not a cup, but a teapot. Knowing that the Prince of Qi and his Miss would definitely speak for a long time, he quietly placed it on the table and left.
"I've been checking on the chieftain lately and discovered a strange occurrence. Dongning's house is afraid of chaos." Qi Xuan said.
Su Yunniang poured tea for Qi Xuan: are they going to cause chaos, or do you want them to cause chaos? .
“Yunniang.” Qi Xuan looked at Su Yunniang: if I can make them mess up, then they too can make a mess. Then look who will be broken first.
Su Yunniang held onto the tea: then, you don't need to organize people? After all, they seemed to be divided into many families, but if they were to really face a foreign enemy, they would definitely attack in groups. I'm afraid they'll be so friendly that they can talk.
Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: does Yunniang know much about Dongning Manor? .
"No, I didn't know Dongning Manor was like this before I came here. I guessed it after observing it the past few days. These people have too strong a sense of regionalism" Su Yunniang said.
Qi Xuan tapped his finger at the table: the chieftain had seven daughters, but no sons. The door in Dazhai is closed. It was said that the chieftain was unconscious and the people in the village were moved by the news and wanted to replace it, so Yunniang thought I should take this opportunity to do something? .
Su Yunniang muttered to himself: seven daughters.
Iqku he stared at Qi Xuan: has there ever been a female chieftain here? .
Qi Xuan instantly understood and smiled: a Yunniang is indeed a very intelligent person. Come on, I'll take you for a walk around the village.
