Cute Beauty’s Romantic Affairs - C71
“There are no obvious signs on the ship, but I saw that the butler was wearing a purple robe. I thought it was strange, so I took a closer look. If I remember correctly, that ship belonged to King Min Nan.”
Huang Yi recalled the details and then told them all.
“Min Nan Wang …” Ye Xuan muttered to himself, “Since Min Nan was ordered thirteen years ago to never take even a single step out of Min Nan, they haven’t come out for decades. Although they didn’t bring any insignia on this trip, anyone with a bit of heart would notice them. Where exactly do they want to go? ”
“Did something happen?” The little girl didn’t really understand what had happened, but this was the first time she’d seen Ye Xuan in such a daze.
“Nothing major.” Ye Xuan forced a smile and comforted her by patting her hand on his shoulder. “I’m only recalling memories of the past. I don’t think that anything big will happen.”
Min Nan Wang was the youngest son of the late emperor, and was defeated when he took over the throne. After the Second Prince ascended the throne, countless brothers were killed and injured, and seeing the political situation unstable, the Emperor decided to let his brother go. Considering that the Thirteenth Prince was the most innocent, he sent him to Min Nan, bestowed the title Min Nan King, and ordered him to never take even half a step out of Min Nan for eternity.
The world didn’t know whether or not Thirteenth Prince had the heart to rebel, but his own mother and brother had all died under the schemes of the Second Prince. It was impossible for normal people to not feel any resentment.
Currently, the King of Minnan’s family was heading north to Beijing as a signal, a signal that he didn’t know what it meant. Could it be that the land of the Nine Prefectures, which had only been stabilized for less than ten years, was about to fall into the flames of war again?
The moment he said this, the little girl didn’t feel reassured anymore. She didn’t know anything about Ye Xuan’s past, but now that Ye Xuan’s performance was abnormal, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly tensed up. Everyone was speechless, and the one hundred taels of silver on the table seemed particularly dazzling.
The lady realized that even if something were to happen in the future, it would not happen now. She must make herself stronger as soon as possible. Otherwise, how could she protect everyone in the room?
Thinking of this, the cute girl revealed a smile and clapped. “Alright, alright, look at you two looking like you are about to face a great enemy. The sky hasn’t fallen yet, shouldn’t we still live on?”
Qiu Ju heaved a sigh of relief and laughed along as well, “The heavens are fallen for humanity, but there’s still a high place for humanity to stand at. In a place like ours, even if it were to fall into chaos, where can it go? “It would be better to just earn some big money as soon as possible. Even if it gets messy, it will allow a family to live a good life!
The two women were gentle and persuasive, and the three men slowly calmed down. They did not know that Cheng Huzhong’s family had fled the country because of the war. They had lost all their loved ones, and even Cheng Huzhong had almost become a slave. Huang Yi and Cheng Huanzhong had similar experiences, but he already had no parents and was relaxed by himself. However, he had seen the passing of life in troubled times, so he naturally didn’t have any good feelings towards war and chaos.
Ye Xuan’s mind was in a mess. He was afraid that he would affect their mood again. With an excuse, he returned home to check on Jin Ling’s father. Then, he hurriedly left.
The lady knew that she couldn’t force him too much, so she smiled and beckoned everyone back to the courtyard. The bowls and chopsticks on the wooden table had already been prepared, while Iron Egg and Orchid were still shuttling around the kitchen serving dishes. Everyone hurriedly went to receive it. The food in the pot was still hot.
After dinner, Huang Yi didn’t sleep at all and went next door to Ye Xuan’s house to sleep. Cheng called back to the slope to cook pig food, pigs bigger and bigger, eat more, Cheng called half of the day to cook pig food and feed the pigs.
After finishing washing the dishes in the courtyard, the mistress put all the dirty clothes in the basin and went to the river to wash the clothes.
“Do you think there’s really a possibility of a war?” Autumn chrysanthemum is worried, this day just see a red fire, what if the war is over?
The lady shook her head. The modern world she resided in was very peaceful. Even though there were endless conflicts at the borders, no one dared to start a war. After all, nuclear weapons were not a joke. It is precisely because of the peace of the country that people can live in peace and work in peace, and live a stable and happy life.
However, if there really was a war, the commoners would definitely be cannon fodder. The lady had heard from the older generation about the war a hundred years ago. The Divine Great Land was on fire, and it took all of its efforts to resist and invade the Divine Lands in exchange for a happy and prosperous life.
No one wanted war, but no one could decide whether it would happen or not.
Arriving here, although his life was a bit tough, but all the people he loved were by his side, so there was nothing bad about it. If he could just live a normal life like this, it would be good.
But now, a crisis that had yet to come made her anxious. She was more aware than ever that this was ancient times, the ancient era of cold weapons.
Every war was a bloody battle between men and women, and there might even be conscription. There were no men in the family, only the elderly, the weak, and the women and children. When the little girl thought of the things she knew about the ancient war, and then switched them to her, she immediately felt that things were not good.
If all the males in her family were taken away and she didn’t know how to live, then how could she live? No, it can’t be this way!
The little girl threw the clothes in her hands into the basin. She could not suppress the anger in her heart.
“We absolutely cannot allow this to happen. Even if there is a war, we must have the ability to protect ourselves! To make others not dare to provoke us, is to ask for our help! ”
Qiu Ju looked at her daughter in astonishment. She clearly could not understand why her daughter would suddenly say such words, but this did not affect the fire in her heart.
“You’re right, but what should we do?”
“Food.” Glimmers danced in the little girl’s eyes. In ancient times, only grains could determine the outcome of a war. As long as there is sufficient food, even if there is a war, she can still sit on the ground and be king. “It is not that we only have enough food to eat, but we have to at least raise an army, which will affect the lives of a part of the army. That way, we can have the ability to protect ourselves.”
Qiu Ju’s breathing quickened, as if she was following in the direction of a great fantasy. But in the next second, she came to her senses. “How can it be as easy as you say it is? How can we get so much food!”
Perhaps not for others, but she had gathered the wisdom of two thousand years of labourers. Although she was not some almighty being, she had some understanding of many things, and as long as she could find a talent and turn her thoughts into reality, what else could she not do?
If not, she still had Huang Yi, who could bring out the explosives and directly enter the age of weaponry. This could change the world at any moment, and this was not what the lady wanted to see.
It was best not to enter this era. With such a small rural economy, living a life of peace and prosperity was also not bad.
After figuring out the worst possible outcome in her mind, the little girl’s heart calmed down. If she could bear the worst, what else could possibly happen?
“Don’t worry. Things haven’t gotten to that point yet. Aren’t we worrying about nothing now?”
Qiuju nodded, “That’s true.”
Right now, it was only the captive potential ‘rebels’ entering the capital. What if it was a good thing? Surely there would be no war. she thought soothingly.
After washing the clothes and returning home, he handed the matter of drying the clothes to Autumn Flowers. The lady then went to the warehouse to check on the progress of her soap production.
Iron Egg and Orchid rummaged through the yard for bugs and then brought them to the forest to feed the chickens. Although there was plenty of food in the forest, the servant girl didn’t remind the two children, she just gave them something to do.
The weather was not too hot yet. The surface of the soap that the lady had just made was already slightly solidified. She put her index finger under her nose to smell it. She could still smell the faint smell of wormwood, but its color was not good.
This kind of soap could be used as long as it was solidified, so it would not burn the skin. Adding soda ash soap would require at least half a year to cool, and the nanny was not too clear on the difference between the two types of soap, but at present, what she needed was this kind of soap that could be used quickly. She could only wait until she had time to make one or two pieces of soda soap and place them inside for half a year before she could use them to compare the differences.
If this soap can be put into use, it needs to be modified in color. In his previous life, the milky white soap that his daughter had seen made people want to use it. It didn’t look like the black soap with wormwood leaves, but it gave people a feeling of “dark treatment”.
However, she was already very satisfied with the result.
Just as the little girl was enjoying herself, Aunt Lin suddenly rushed in and pulled her out. “Come and take a look!” “Something has happened to the Lin Yang Family!”
