Chapter 80 Xiaowangzhuang
Xiaoyu'er, sitting in the carriage, was full of excitement.
He hasn't been out to play for a long time. When he was at home, he would go out to play with the little brother and sister next door almost every day.
Later, his mother brought him to the capital and they lived in the general's mansion. After that, he never went out to play again.
Although the General's Mansion is very big and beautiful, you will get bored after a while.
Today, his aunt took him out to play and he was really happy.
"Be careful with your head!" Song Qingci said as he hugged Xiao Yu'er who was sticking his head out of the car window.
The roads are very bumpy nowadays. If you stick your head out like this, you never know when you'll hit it.
Xiao Yuer nestled in Song Qingci's arms, giggling.
That kind of happiness made Song Qingci couldn't help but smile like an auntie.
The atmosphere was good here, but Li in the corner was not affected by such emotions. She was very nervous and her face was very tense.
Miss Yinxing just said that the young lady wanted to take them and their son to the farm to stay for a few days to relax, and she didn't say anything else.
She was in a state of confusion, and wondered if the young mistress didn't want them to continue living in the general's mansion. She wanted to use this opportunity to relax and not let them return to the general's mansion in the future.
After a while, she wondered if something was going to happen in the General's Mansion. After all, she knew that someone was looking for trouble with her. Has that person already come to the General's Mansion? She had finally implicated others.
Song Qingci had already noticed Li's discomfort, but she said nothing in front of Xiao Yuer.
Let’s wait until we get to Xiaowangzhuang to talk about everything.
How could the thoughts of these adults be more important than Xiaoyuer's happiness?
Isn’t it said that a happy childhood heals a lifetime, while an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal?
Xiaoyuer should have a happy childhood now.
The carriage shook for half a day, and with Xiao Yuer waking up and falling asleep repeatedly, they finally arrived at Xiaowangzhuang.
This is the manor that was acquired by the old general in his early years, and it is also the manor closest to the general’s mansion.
The area of cultivable land is about 100 mu, and the village is backed by a small green mountain, which is also under the jurisdiction of Xiaowangzhuang, but the mountain is basically barren. Apart from some natural and miscellaneous trees, nothing else can be planted.
At the beginning, we spent money on maintenance every year, but later it was just abandoned.
The whole farm is not very big. It mainly grows fruits, vegetables and the like, and some land is used to grow grains.
Part of the output here will be sent to the General's Mansion to provide food for the mansion. The rest will be sold nearby and exchanged for silver.
In addition to the fixed expenses on the farm, this money also has to be paid into the public account of the general's mansion.
At the end of the year, after deducting the cost of food and daily necessities, there is still a few hundred taels left.
Although the amount is not much, it is still an income.
The head of Xiaowangzhuang is called Xu Chun, who was a servant of the old lady when she came with her as a dowry. Because he was quite capable, he was sent to Xiaowangzhuang to be the head of the village very early.
He is in charge of all the affairs in Xiaowangzhuang.
Xu Chun saw two carriages coming up to Zhuangzi from a distance and was puzzled. No one should come here at this time of year.
There is only one main road in the direction of Xiaowangzhuang. This place is remote and no one else would come this road except those who come to the village.
But there are not many people coming to this place normally. There are only two times a year when people from the General's Mansion come. One time is to transport food, and the other time is to transport fruits and vegetables. The time is basically fixed, and there is not much difference.
If there really is something going on, they will take the initiative to go to the General's Mansion.
At the end of last year, the surplus silver and New Year gifts had already been sent to the General's Mansion. Now the crops in the field have just been planted for a short time, and it is far from the time for people to come to the General's Mansion. Who would come to this mountain valley at this time?
Xu Chun's son Xu Bowen naturally also saw those carriages. Without waiting for his father's instructions, he rushed forward with a group of people and blocked the carriage of Song Qingci and the others.
"Hey, listen up, everyone in the carriage. This is not a place for casual play. Outsiders are not welcome here. Turn back quickly, otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety." Xu Bowen stood in the front of the crowd and shouted at the carriage.
Song Qingci went out this time to sting the law enforcement, and she even designed an identity for herself for this purpose. When she entered the manor, she would talk to the head of the manor alone and ask him to cooperate with her. So she did not come in a grand manner in a luxurious carriage with the general's mansion logo.
Her large, luxurious carriage with a royal badge was now heading towards Xiangcheng Temple. Yinping and Yinling were in the carriage.
The task she gave Yinping was to go to Xiangcheng Temple to pray for her some peace and blessings, and to stay in Xiangcheng Temple for a few days to burn incense and pray to Buddha for her.
If it is false, it becomes real; if it is real, it becomes false. All her current actions are intentional.
She was now sitting in the smallest and most low-key carriage in the mansion. Usually, this carriage was used by the stewards in the general's mansion. So it looked a bit shabby.
Of course, it just looked a little shabby compared to those carriages with logos.
If it were placed in an ordinary family, this would be a very good carriage.
The coachman was a guard in disguise. He had not expected that before they reached their destination, they would be blocked by a group of people who suddenly appeared.
At one moment he knew what to do.
If he was a guard, he would have just stepped forward and beaten the man up to make way if he was blocked. But he was a servant driving a carriage, and he had no idea what the servant would do.
Seeing that the people on the carriage hadn't responded for a long time, Xu Bowen also became really angry. This was the first time that someone in the surrounding villages had given him such a lack of respect and actually ignored his existence.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you all deaf?! Or do you still not understand what I'm saying?!" As soon as Xu Bowen said this, the fans standing behind him burst into laughter.
This is a hidden insult to someone who is a beast. Only beasts cannot understand human language.
Brother Xu is indeed an educated man, he can scold people so elegantly.
"Hey, I'm talking to you guys. If you know what's best for you, get out of here. Otherwise, we brothers will make sure you're in big trouble." One of the men in black shorts was jumping around the most happily.
He looked to be the tallest and strongest among the group, and even his clothes could not hide his muscular body.
He looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. He spoke in a very loud voice, and Xiao Yuer stopped moving the moment he heard his voice.
