Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 110 Yunsheng Returns and Arrives at Zhuangzi

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they packed up their things and started on their journey again.

Just then, the Zhou brothers and sisters caught up with their servants.

Zhou Wenli greeted Yun Qi and Yun Yan as if nothing had happened, and nodded to Ying Tianchen.

Zhou Ling did not show up. She just lifted a corner of the curtain in the carriage and glanced at Ying Tianchen. Seeing that he didn't look at her, she lowered the curtain.

Yun Qi didn't want to completely tear his face apart, and responded with two words indifferently. But anyone could see that he didn't really want to talk.

Yun Yan simply ignored Zhou Wenli. He became furious when he thought about Zhou Ling not taking his elder brother seriously and using his feelings to make him sad.

He was merciful for not beating them up. If they still wanted him to pay attention to them, it was impossible.

As for Ying Tianchen, he never even glanced at the Zhou brothers and sisters from beginning to end. Zhou Wenli's nod was in vain, and Ying Tianchen didn't even see it.

Zhou Wenli had brought trouble upon himself, and the good expression he had put on before could no longer be maintained.

He just told Yunqi that he had to hurry on, then he quickened his pace and walked ahead.

Yun Qi lowered his eyebrows, his mood was affected to some extent.

Yun Xi and Yun Yan looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

Emotional trauma can either be healed by time or replaced by another relationship.

They also knew that Yunqi would no longer have any thoughts about Zhou Ling, but it was impossible for him to let it go all of a sudden and not feel sad at all.

There is no way to replace it with another relationship now, so it can only fade away with time.

That night, they did not reach the next town and had to sleep in the wild.

Yun Xi asked Yun Yi to arrange ten people to keep watch, and the others all went to sleep.

The night was calm and everyone got up at dawn the next day to set off.

I didn't eat anything this morning. I had almost finished all the bread and steamed buns I brought with me yesterday. If I wanted to eat in the morning, I would have to cook, which would waste too much time.

I decided not to make it and planned to make it for lunch.

After two days of traveling, plus being hungry in the morning, everyone was tired today and their speed was a little slower than the previous two days.

The children who were still able to follow me and run around outside a few days ago, now seem to be a little listless. They all stay in the carriage and don't come out.

The group that had been chattering non-stop along the way before were much quieter today, all just focused on getting on with their journey.

Even Yun Xi felt a little exhausted. She sat in the carriage and let her butt hurt, but she didn't want to move.

It was not until noon that everyone found a place with mountains and water to rest and prepared to start a fire to cook. Only then did Yun Xi get off the carriage, rubbing her butt and gritted her teeth.

"I must find a way to make a shock-absorbing carriage in the future, and make the carriage bigger so that people can lie down in it."

Yun Qi, Yun Yan and the others thought that she was just speaking casually, but Ying Tianchen was the only one who remembered what she had muttered and decided to send someone to do it when he returned.

Everyone worked together to collect firewood and cook. Ying Tianchen took a few of his subordinates to the mountains to hunt. This time, Yun Huaiyuan and several people from the Yun clan who knew how to hunt also went with them, as well as Yun Yan and Yun Yiwu.

Not long after, the hunters returned in high spirits.

Yun Xi's eyes almost popped out as she looked at the prey piled up like a small mountain.

There were more than a dozen pheasants and hares, two silly roe deer, and even a sika deer.

"so much?"

"Yes, that's all. Lord Chen and his men are very skilled. They can catch a pheasant or a rabbit with just one stone. And the robe and the deer were all hunted by them."

Yun Xi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth raised high. She gave Ying Tianchen a thumbs up and praised him generously, "Great."

In an instant, Ying Tianchen showed a mouthful of white teeth, and he couldn't even suppress the corners of his mouth.

Seeing this, Yu Fengfeng was much calmer than yesterday. But he really wanted to remind their prince that this was really stupid, just like that stupid roe deer.

Fortunately, he resisted the urge to remind him, otherwise, if his prince heard him comparing himself to a stupid roe deer, he would probably immediately ask him to switch jobs with that Ruohuo.

With so many prey, everyone was very happy. They worked together to clean up the prey by the river. They cooked the pheasant and hare first, and the silly roe deer was going to be cooked in the evening.

There was a lot of food this time, so we stewed two large pots. This way, everyone could get two pieces of meat.

With meat to eat, everyone suddenly became energetic and the party became lively again.

After having a satisfying meal of meat, I continued on my journey full of energy.

Not long after they set out again, a group of twenty or thirty people caught up with them from behind.

Everyone immediately became alert, but Ying Tianchen told everyone not to be nervous, "It's one of us."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The team stopped to rest and wait until they met up with the people behind before continuing on their way.

Yun Xi also guessed at this time that Yun Sheng and the others had returned.

Sure enough, Yun Xi spotted Yun Sheng in the team. The scar on his face made him very conspicuous.

Yun Xi, Yun Qi and Yun Yan walked towards a deserted place not far away. Yun Sheng understood and followed them.

"Master, eldest son, second son!"

"Are you injured?"

Yun Xi didn't ask him how things went, but was concerned about whether he was injured.

Yunsheng felt warm in his heart, and the scar on his face softened a little.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm not hurt."

Yun Xi nodded slightly, "Tell me about the situation."

Yunsheng immediately prepared to kneel down on one knee to apologize, but Yunxi hurriedly said, "Stand up and talk."

Yunsheng, whose legs were half bent, was stunned for a moment before he straightened up and whispered, "After I followed them to Jiuyi Mountain, I went with them to suppress the bandits. I thought the people the master was looking for would be among the fake bandits, but they weren't. Later, I caught a few fake bandits and asked about the situation, only to find out that they were personally taken away by the people around King Jin."

"Who among them caught the King of Jin's eye?" Otherwise, he would not have let the King of Jin's people take them away.

"My Lord, I heard that Master Xue had a treasure to present to King Jin, but the treasure was in Jiangling, Madam Xue's hometown. They were escorted to Jiangling. So, I didn't catch up with them."

Yun Xi sighed and waved her hand, "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now."

After she settles down, she will take time to go there in person.

"By the way, have you heard what treasures Mr. Xue has for Prince Jin?"

Yunsheng said, "I heard it's the Pearl of the East China Sea."

"Pearl of the East China Sea?"

"Yes, I heard that this East China Sea pearl is much larger than ordinary pearls, about the size of a quail egg. It is smooth and round, and has a soft glow. One pearl is worth a fortune."

Yun Xi listened and felt that this thing was very familiar, as if she already had it in her own space, or it was brought from Xue Mansion.

Yun Xi was basically certain that the pigeon egg-sized pearls in her space were the East China Sea Pearls.

Each one is priceless, and she has five in her hand now. How much are they worth?

But I didn't expect that I had collected five from the Xue Mansion, but Mr. Xue still had some. It seems that the Xue family really has some background.

The Xue family did have some background, and their wealth was accumulated through several generations. But they didn't expect that the foundation accumulated from generation to generation would eventually benefit Yun Xi.

The two teams joined together, with more people and more helpers. At least it was much easier for the people pushing the cart.

This time, the pace also increased.

The journey would have taken two days, but it only took one and a half days to reach the county governor's mansion.

Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If she continued to sit in the carriage, she would be dead.

She had already made up her mind that even if the farm that Ying Tianchen mentioned was sold, she would find a way to settle down directly in the County Magistrate's Mansion. The worst that could happen was that she would have to spend more money, and the thing she had the most in her space right now was money.

She went straight to Ying Tianchen and said, "Chen Tian, ​​I wonder if the manor has been sold. I want to go and take a look."

The two are now very familiar with each other and have changed the way they address each other, but in order not to reveal his identity, he uses a pseudonym.

Ying Tianchen said, "I was just about to tell Miss Yun about this. Zhuangzi is still here. Come with me and I'll take you there to have a look."

Yun Xi was very happy. She returned to her carriage and urged everyone to hurry up.

The carriage did not enter the city, but went directly outside the city to the western suburbs.

The team stopped in front of a house. Ying Tianchen got off the horse and walked to Yun Xi's carriage.

"Miss Yun, we're here."

Yun Xi couldn't wait to get out of the car.

When she saw the magnificent house in front of her, she was stunned. This kind of noble family was really just a manor left by a rich family.

She tilted her head and asked, "Could this be your manor?"

Ying Tianchen didn't look at her and asked someone to knock on the door. Then he replied, "No, my farm is in the eastern suburbs, and it's bigger than this one."

This is true. The farm in the eastern suburbs is indeed bigger than this one.

Yun Xi didn't say anything else, and it was unknown whether she believed it or not.

Everyone saw the team stopped in front of the gate of this noble compound. Except for Yun Xi's family and the clan leader, everyone else was confused.

Someone couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chief, what are we doing here?"

Now that they have arrived here and know that the farm has not been sold yet, Patriarch Yun feels that there is no need to hide it from everyone anymore.

So he asked Yunqi to tell everyone what happened. He himself didn't have the energy to speak loudly.

I'm old and useless. After sitting in a horse-drawn carriage for several days, my bones are all loose and I'm almost exhausted.

Yun Qi stood on the carriage and spoke loudly to everyone from the height of the carriage.

"I have good news for you all. Lord Chen has found a place for us to settle down in the prefectural governor's mansion. It is this manor. If you think this place is good, we can settle down. If not, we can continue on our way to Hepu County."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became alert. They all began to look around. Before they understood the whole Zhuangzi, they were happy to stay just by looking at this magnificent mansion.

"Is this true? I think this place is great, and my family is willing to stay."

“We’d like to stay, too.”

"We would like that too."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Not to mention that this farm looks nice, even if it is a shabby village, they would be willing to stay and not continue on their journey.

I suffered a lot during this journey, as I had poor food and sleep. I had long wanted to find a place to settle down.

Yunqi lowered his hand and everyone fell silent.

"Well, let's go in and take a look at the manor. Everyone, follow the instructions."

At this time, Yu Fengfeng had already opened the door, and a man who looked like a manager walked out. When he saw Ying Tianchen, his legs almost went weak and he fell to his knees.

However, thinking of the instructions given by his master before, he held back and just bowed to him.

"I've met Mr. Chen."

Ying Tianchen ordered, "Let's take everyone to settle down first, and then let them see the manor."

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly.

Yun Xi didn't find it strange to see the butler being so respectful to him. She thought that this man must know that he was the King of the South.

The group entered the main gate, and the horse-drawn carriages, mule-drawn carts all entered from the side door. The threshold of the side door could be removed, as if it was specially designed for the passage of carriages and horses.

Ying Tianchen introduced Yun Xi, "This is not the main house of the manor. The main house is still a little far away. Let's let everyone rest in this house first, and then move in after everyone has decided on a house."

Yun Xi thought this arrangement was a good one. "Thank you for your careful consideration."

Although this house is not the main house, it has large rooms that can accommodate people, so everyone found a room to stay in temporarily.

No one chose the big room, and they all consciously left the big room to Yunxi's family and the old patriarch's family.

After choosing a house, the women began to cook, while many of the men could not wait and ran out impatiently.

The two Yunxi siblings also began to tour the farm under the leadership of Ying Tianchen.

The village is indeed not small, covering hundreds of hectares, of which 180 mu are fertile fields, more than 200 mu are cultivated land, and the building area of ​​houses and gardens is about 40 mu. The rest is mountains and forests.

The total building area of ​​the houses alone is nearly 8000 square meters, and there are more than 600 houses of all sizes.

There are seven or eight courtyards in the large mansion. Many of the remaining houses were previously occupied by tenants, and they are all servants' rooms. There is also a small courtyard with one entrance and two entrances where the steward lives.

All the house types are built according to the traditional northern structure, a typical quadrangle style. Facing west and east, the courtyards are connected by corridors and courtyards. It is ancient and elegant, and you can tell at a glance that it is where a wealthy family lives.

Yunxi was very satisfied. Not only was the house beautiful, it also looked like it had only been renovated two years ago and still looked very new.

The main reason is that the farm has a beautiful environment, with mountains and water, and no outsiders. It is also close to the capital city, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by horse carriage, so it is also convenient to enter the city.

"Big brother, second brother, how are you?"

Yunqi and Yunyan naturally like it too, but do they have enough money to buy such a big farm?

Both brothers looked embarrassed.

Yun Xi knew what they were thinking when she saw this, so she said, "This farm only has 6000 taels of silver, which is enough."

Yun Qi and Yun Yan were both very surprised and said in unison, "So cheap."

Yun Xi nodded, "Yes, but it's just the house. As for the land, it will be charged separately. We can buy as much as we want."

Yun Qi and Yun Yan looked at Ying Tianchen. Is that so? Isn't the whole manor going to be sold?

Ying Tianchen was also stunned. Was this what he meant at the beginning? It seemed that he was talking about the entire Zhuangzi.

Why didn’t Miss Yun understand what he meant?
