Chapter 249 The Xi Family Leaves
Soon, the car to take the Xi family back was arranged.
There was one horse-drawn carriage, two ox-drawn carts and a mule-drawn cart.
Elder Xi handed the blanket to Xi and said, "Sister, I have kept this thing very carefully. My parents asked me to give it to you before they died, but I had forgotten about it until I saw it after you left. Don't blame me."
Whether this is true or false, it doesn’t matter anymore, and Xi doesn’t care.
Xi Lao Er also said, "Yes, at that time, the eldest brother did not tell us the specific reason, he just said that he wanted to look for you. We were worried about him being alone, so we followed him. At that time, you said you were going to Hepu County, so we ran to Hepu County. We searched for a while but couldn't find you, so we went back. You don't know, we suffered a lot on that trip."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. She remembered that after hearing that they had left, she knew that their family had become rich, so the whole family went to Hepu County to find them.
She asked, "Then how did you know we were here?"
The Xi family did not hide it. "It was the servants of the Zhou family in Xiemu County who told us. They said that your family was taken to the capital by the Southern King, and Yunxi was married to the Southern King. The whole village lived a life of luxury."
It was indeed so. It was really because the Zhou brothers and sisters were unhappy with them and were looking for trouble to annoy them.
"How is it possible that we all live a life of luxury? When we first came here, the whole village was suffering from famine. But everyone is hardworking and has worked hard to grow crops this year. Our lives are much better than before in Gantang Village." Xi didn't want them to get close to her, so she explained a few words.
Seeing that they were able to talk properly, Yun Xi didn't mind giving a few more suggestions.
"When you go back, you can use the money you have to invest in some property, such as land, or a shop in a town or county to do some small business. As long as you work hard, your life will only get better and better. It is better to rely on yourself than on others."
"Yes, the princess is right. We will live a down-to-earth life after we return." The Xi family members made assurances again and again.
Finally, Boss Xi said to Xi hesitantly, "Sister, we are sorry for what happened before. Please don't blame us. We will not bother you again in the future. If, if you are willing to go back and visit our parents, I think they will be very happy if they know about it."
When Xi thought of her adoptive parents, her eyes finally turned red.
"I know, take care of yourself and live a good life."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait a moment. The harvest of grain this autumn is pretty good. I'll have someone pack a few bags of newly harvested rice for you to take back."
As he said this, he whispered to the nanny beside him and asked the coachman to take the nanny back to fetch food.
The Xi family was very happy, as this showed that Xi still had some feelings for them and her heart was slowly softening.
"Thank you, big sister. To be honest, we sold all the little harvest we had this year when we came here. We have to buy all the food we need when we return. Your rice really helps us out in our time of need."
Yun Xi raised her eyes and glanced at Boss Xi. It turned out that this guy was quite good at talking when he wanted to.
Soon, the carriage returned, followed by a mule cart carrying food.
The mule cart seemed to be loaded with not only food but other things as well.
Xi did not hide it and said, "I packed 50 kilograms of rice and kilograms of rice seeds for each of your families. This year we planted this rice seed, which was provided by the King of the South. This rice seed can produce to kilograms per mu. You can try to plant this next year."
As for the two-season planting in one year, she didn't mention it. It's hard to explain in a few words. Anyway, the Southern King will notify everyone when the time comes.
The Xi family was overjoyed. Grain was always the lifeblood of the people. The yield of grain they planted was only 300 kilograms per mu, but the yield of rice seeds could double that. It was really great.
"Thank you, big sister."
"Thank you, big sister."
……
The Xi brothers and sisters expressed their gratitude one after another.
Xi added, "In addition, I have prepared two rolls of cotton cloth and ten bars of soap for each of your families. There are no other good things, just my thoughtful gifts."
The Xi family was overjoyed, and all of them smiled and thanked him again.
They have already seen clearly that Xi and Yunxi are the kind of people who are soft-hearted and will not tolerate hardship. As long as you are sweet-mouthed and speak nicely, and don't actively ask for things, they will soften their hearts and give more.
As soon as the Xi family left, Yun Xi asked Yun Sheng to arrange people to keep an eye on the Lin family.
"See where they went and make sure they don't come back to the village to cause trouble. Also, check if the Zhou brothers and sisters are still in the capital. If they are, have someone guide the Lin family to find them. Since they brought them here, they must be responsible to the end."
"Yes, princess."
Yun Xi gave a few more instructions to the guards guarding the village, asking them to guard the entrance of the village well, especially in the next few days, and not to let strangers in.
In two days her uncle and Gong Taozhi will be getting married, and she doesn't want the Lin family to cause trouble again.
After giving these instructions, Yun Xi returned home with Xi and other members of the Yun family.
As he was about to enter the house, he pointed at two boxes and said to Yun Huaishan, "Uncle, this is a wedding gift for you. Have someone move it to your room."
Yun Huaishan saw that there were two large boxes, not just one or two gifts. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, how can you send so many things?"
Yun Xi said, "Uncle, this is a token of my appreciation. You can't refuse it."
Yun Huaishan still didn't want it, so Yun Xi could only ask for help from Old Master Yun and Yun Huaiyuan. The old master said directly, "Okay, it's given by Xi girl, just keep it well."
After saying that, he asked the servant to carry the box into the yard where Yun Huaishan lived.
Yun Huaishan had no choice but to thank him quickly.
Then Yun Xi started distributing gifts to other people. This time, she gave Yun Huaishan a lot of money and property, so naturally she had to give some compensation to the fourth uncle's family. She also took the opportunity to give a lot of good things.
Yun Xi wanted to wait until dinner time before returning to the palace, but she didn't expect Ying Tianchen to come and pick her up in person.
The two returned to the palace early.
"How come you have time to come back early today?"
He has been very busy during this period and I haven't seen him during the day for many days.
Ying Tianchen had a smile on his face, looking very happy. He took Yun Xi back to the room, dismissed the servants, and hugged her and bit her fiercely. After a long time, he let her go and said, "Xi'er, the Southwest Army has finally agreed to surrender to me."
Yun Xi was surprised, "Is this what you have been busy with recently?"
Ying Tianchen nodded in agreement, and then held the person and kissed her all over, including her forehead, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and cheeks.
Yun Xi couldn't even talk to him properly. Seeing that he wouldn't stop talking, she had no choice but to push him away.
He wiped his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "That's enough, my face is covered with saliva."
The person who was pushed away immediately came up again, "I've been too busy lately and haven't kissed you properly. Of course I have to make it up to you."
