Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World - Chapter 666
After Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin had breakfast, the soldiers from Baihujian also retreated to Ningxiawei. Fortunately, there were enough cars in the caravan, so they threw away the leaves and other items on the car, and lifted the wounded into the car and left.
We set off at the fifth watch, and we just returned to Ningxiawei now.
Bai Yitang took Qin Wenyin’s hand to go out for a day of shopping, looked after a piece of land, and planned to buy it and build it into a restaurant.
General Yuan still has no news at all.
However, the captain and others are not worried. General Yuan has experienced hundreds of battles. Baihujian has cut down so many bandits in the first battle. There should be not many left in the mountains. Fighting cottages is time-consuming.
The next day, Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin went out to buy things for the trip and when they returned, they received news that General Yuan was returning to the camp.
The Colonel personally came to invite Bai Yitang to discuss matters.
“Is your general okay?”
Colonel smiled and said, “It’s okay, this time the general has broken through four cottages, and the loot is quite rich. After a while, Hero Bai can choose what he likes.”
Bai Yitang shook his head and smiled, “Just keep it for yourselves, I don’t lack anything.”
General Yuan slapped his foot, but he stepped on a loose rock and slipped a bit when he was out of the mountain. He already knew the situation of Baihujian from the captain and the general banner, and was very grateful to Bai Yitang.
“Thanks to Bai Daxia, otherwise we may not be able to win this time.” If the enemy cannot be completely wiped out in the White Tiger Stream, letting them flee back to the cottage will not only allow them to transfer their belongings and escape, they may also be attacked from inside and outside, unable to advance or retreat.
General Yuan: “I didn’t expect that they would bring so many people out of the mountain, and there are very few people who stay in the cottage. We were wrong in our estimation.”
“General Yuan, since the bandits have been eliminated, when will the special clearance documents be given to me?” Bai Yitang didn’t want to delay too long here.
“Don’t worry about this white hero, I will be able to do it in three or five days, but you are not going to open a restaurant in Ningxia Wei, and you are going to leave now?”
“Our steward will arrive in a few days, so we decided to leave after participating in the mutual market.” Bai Yitang said with a smile: “But before that, we must first confirm whether the customs clearance documents can be obtained.”
General Yuan looked at the military advisor, the military advisor nodded slightly to him, and General Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Master Bai, before you leave the customs, the documents must be completed.”
Bai Yitang calmed down, thought for a while and said, “Since the bandits have been wiped out, my wife and I will move out of the General’s Mansion.”
“Why is this, Hero Bai?” General Yuan sat up instantly and glared, “Could it be that someone in the mansion neglected Hero and Madam Bai?”
“That’s not true,” Bai Daxia coughed lightly: “It’s just that our husband and wife are used to living by themselves, and now living in the mansion is a little uncomfortable, so we want to rent a yard outside alone.”
“Isn’t Bai Daxia living in a yard alone in the mansion? Although the two of you regard this place as your own home, you can tell my wife if there is anything missing, why do you need to move out?”
Bai Yitang shook his head, and just as he was about to refuse, General Yuan turned his face into a tiger and pressed his hand, “Isn’t it possible that Hero Bai dislikes my humble home and doesn’t want to live?”
Bai Yitang was helpless, “General Yuan, you know that I don’t mean that, why did you learn the tricks of those literati?”
“What kind of literati trick?” General Yuan glared his eyes and said, “I am hospitable, not to mention here in Ningxia Wei, where can you find such good accommodation except for the county government? Don’t talk about going out to rent a house, those houses are still there. It’s not as good as my general’s mansion. Master Bai, tell me if you’re uncomfortable, and I’ll let them all change.”
“Forget it, forget it, I’ll just stay here.” Bai Yitang got up and said, “Okay, I won’t disturb your discussions.”
The captain smiled and escorted Bai Yitang out. After seeing him out of the courtyard, he turned around, “General, why do you have to keep him?”
The strategist stroked his beard and smiled and said, “It’s right for the general to keep him. His martial arts are so strong, his identity is inseparable. He is the stepfather of Master Gu, and if he can get along with him, General Yu , for Ningxia Wei, it’s a good thing. The ladder has been brought to the front, don’t you want to push it out?”
General Yuan smiled slightly and asked, “When will the news from the capital come back?”
“It will take eight or nine days at the earliest,” the military adviser said in a deep voice, “After three days, there will be a mutual market, and they will leave after participating in the mutual market, so it will take six days. At that time, they will have to pack their things, and the general will give them another day or two. That’s it.”
General Yuan nodded slightly when he heard the words, “I’ve seen their carriages, I really want to drive out of the customs, I don’t know if they will encounter robbery.”
That car looks like a local tyrant, who doesn’t rob them?
The military advisor smiled and said: “Since they dare to use it, they will naturally have the ability to keep it, and Bai Daxia’s kung fu is really good, and it will always be no problem to save his life. The general does not need to worry too much.”
Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin are preparing for their exit. I don’t know when they will be able to come back, so they brought a lot of things, and because of the limited space, they have to be cautious about what they bring this time.
Because outside the customs, there are some things that cannot be bought, or are difficult to buy.
For example, good tea leaves, dried fruits such as red dates, almonds, and some pickles are also rare.
The two of them listed the things they wanted to bring one by one, and then arranged them according to the order of priority. Some things that can be bought outside the customs will be less, more rare, and more if not.
After arranging the priorities, the two of them started to buy money on the street, only to realize that their money was a bit small.
“Even if we sell all the tea and silk we brought, it won’t get much money,” Bai Yitang said, rubbing his chin, “I seem to have forgotten to ask my apprentice to bring us money when I wrote the letter.”
Qin Wenyin folded their dried clothes and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, Baolu will definitely remember it.”
Baolu did remember, not only that, when she learned that they were going out this time to depict the map of Tartar, she knew that they would not be out for a short time, so she changed them all with gold.
A steward and three servants rushed to Ningxia Wei, took off the box that had been on his back and handed it to the two of them, knelt down and replied, “This is what the wife asked the little one to bring, and said that the old man will stay where he is. Change it to silver.”
Bai Yitang felt heavy when he started, and opened the box, there was an ingot of gold ingots, each ingot had twenty taels, a total of ten ingots.
The steward has been carrying this box for a long time, but he was very tired, and explained: “My wife was worried that the banknotes could not be exchanged here, so I asked the younger ones to bring gold. If there is still a shortage, we have to go to Yan’an House. Got the money.”
Because there are only money shops in Yan’an Prefecture.
Bai Yitang closed the box with satisfaction, and said, “The local people don’t accept banknotes, but the business travelers who come here do. You can exchange some with them at that time.”
“I plan to build a restaurant here, so I can keep in touch in the future. The land has already been bought, but it is up to you to build it, and the cooks and other guys will also have to be found by you.”
Looking at the four of them, Bai Yitang paused and said, “You can go to Ningxia Wei again. Then choose another piece of land to build another courtyard. You can live there, and you can live there when we come back.”
Anyway, the land in Ningxiawei is not expensive, and you can buy one mu for three or four taels of silver. Because there are many idle laborers, it is not expensive to build a house.
Bai Yitang has been inquiring about the price in the past few days. It is not necessary to build a courtyard with two entrances. It does not need to be particularly delicate. Simple decoration, forty or fifty taels is enough.
The restaurant should be bigger, and the decoration should be more luxurious, with two floors up and down, and the budget is about three hundred taels.
These budgets have been taken out by Bai Yitang long ago, and all they have left are silver notes.
And he took the gold with him, took out an ingot, exchanged it for silver, and hid it in the drawer of the carriage.
Ningxia has a mutual market between Wei and Wei, and there are many business trips in the Central Plains, while there are more merchants, tribal leaders and herdsmen from the Tartar side, and everyone brought their own goods to exchange with others.
The quality of the satin and tea brought by Bai Yitang is not bad, and a lot of furs, pearls and medicinal materials have been replaced.
He turned around and resold these things to the Central Plains business traveler in exchange for gold and silver.
No way, the Tartars brought little gold and silver with him, so he could only exchange things first and then exchange them for money.
When he hid the exchanged money in batches in various corners of the carriage, it was time for them to set off.
General Yuan received a reply from the capital and confirmed the identities of Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin, and then gave them the customs clearance documents.
The two of them finally filled the bucket in the belly of the car, and then they could get on the car and set off.
General Yuan and others and the steward came to see them off. Bai Yitang bowed to General Yuan and said, “General Yuan, I will ask you to take care of the people I left in Ningxiawei.”
General Yuan glanced at the steward and said with a smile: “As long as they obey the rules and laws, they will be able to protect them from being bullied in Ningxia Wei.”
Bai Yitang looked at the steward.
The steward immediately lowered his head and said, “Don’t worry, old man, remember the rules of the Gu family’s house when you are young, and never dare to do anything illegal.”
Bai Yitang nodded slightly, then jumped onto the carriageway: “I hope the restaurant is already open when I come back. Everyone, farewell!”
“Master Bai take care.”
“Safe journey.”
Bai Yitang waved his hand, drove to the gate, and handed over the special clearance documents to the soldiers at the gate. The soldiers would have seen their generals earlier, so naturally they would not be too embarrassed.
Bai Yitang drove his car out of the customs, facing the endless prairie, he smiled and knocked on the door of the car: “Would you like to come out and have a look?”
Qin Wenyin pushed open the car door, walked over to sit beside him, looked at the vast prairie, and couldn’t help sighing: “Seeing it, I am in an open mind, I am in a good mood, and it is really beautiful.”
Bai Yitang laughed loudly and said, “The more beautiful ones are still to come. When you come back, you can draw a picture and send it back to Baolu, greedy for her.”
Having said that, he waved his whip and made the carriage move fast.
Qin Wenyin glared at him strangely and said, “Do you just like to mess with children, be careful Jingyun troubles you.”
Bai Yitang snorted: “I’m far away, what can he do to me?”
He just loves to provoke his apprentices but can’t go out of Beijing, can he handle it?
Qin Wenyin smiled and pushed him, and said, “It is said that the sunset is the most beautiful on the grassland. I wonder if we can see the most beautiful sunset today.”
“If you can’t see it today, then wait for tomorrow. There’s a lot of time, and you’ll see it one day.” Bai Yitang stretched out his hand to hold her and said with a smile, “I’ll accompany you anyway.”
Qin Wenyin put her head on his shoulder and replied softly, “I know, so I’m not in a hurry at all, but I’ll always look forward to it.”
