Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 29
Ming Lanying didn't sleep well all night because of the King of the Golden Eagle, and she also dreamed of being questioned by Ye Juelu crying why she didn't like him and didn't want him.

Waking up in the morning was extremely irritable, but Ma San went to find out the news and reported that Prince Heng took a group of Yingying Yanyan and a large group of men to go for an outing in the forest where the golden eagles were infested yesterday, but the golden eagles happened to be there today Picking flowers for her sweetheart Chunfen in a mountain forest, but now she is trapped in the forest and cannot get out.

Ming Lanying laughed angrily when she heard it, "You adults are quite romantic, don't you? Are you still picking flowers?"

Ma Er puffed out her small chest and said proudly: "Of course, we adults are serious."

"You birds like flowers too?"

Ma Er hopped her little feet angrily, "Why not! Our adults still pick flowers that only bloom once in a hundred years! The nectar is mellow and juicy, it's the most suitable snack for Madam!"

"Pfft! Snacks!" Ming Lanying chuckled, absolutely not mocking, "Your family is stuck because of snacks."

"That's the greed of you mortals!"

This is true, but it is not man who is not greedy, but God.

"Okay, let's think about how to save your family."

He Bai suddenly jumped out from Ming Lanying's side, startling her, "Who does sister-in-law want to save?"

"The golden eagle was just trapped by Prince Heng's men, and they wanted to release it without anyone noticing."

"Huh? Was it trapped and not taken away?"

Ming Lanying turned her head to look at Ma San, Ma San pecked at her feathers, "No, the forest is too big, Prince Heng's people haven't found it yet."

Ming Lanying relayed it, and He Bai suddenly realized, and suddenly had an idea, "Sister-in-law, you can use your unique skills in the dark!"

Ming Lanying patted her on the forehead, "Use it if you say so, what if it is discovered!"

He Bai groaned when he was hit, "No, I will take you with lightness kung fu, hide deep in the mountains, and fly on the trees! They can't see it."

Ming Lanying directly refused, "I'm afraid you'll throw me to death."

"How come! I have great strength!"

After Hebai finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves to hug Ming Lanying to demonstrate, but Ming Lanying flicked his head again, "Stop it, change your mind."

"Ow!"

Ming Lanying fed a handful of chaff to the little sparrows to replenish their strength, "Ma Er, go and see if there is anyone in Prince Heng's residence, Ma San, go and see how your lord is doing, if you are not in a hurry, hide away ,hold on."

He Bai looked at the small figure of the little sparrow flying away, "Sister-in-law, why do you want to see if there is anyone in the residence? Shall we go take hostages?"

"Prince Heng took a large group of people to catch the golden eagle. There should be no one in the residence. We set fire to the base camp and set his backyard on fire. He must have some important things with him. If it caught fire, he must come back to check it. Prince Heng If you are distracted, the golden eagle can take the opportunity to fly away." Ming Lanying flicked her forehead again, causing He Baiyou to cry out.

"Sister-in-law is smart! But why did we set fire without anyone noticing?"

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, she really didn't think about it, and she didn't know the layout of Prince Heng's residence!
He Bai touched his chin and thought: "Sister-in-law, didn't you say that Prince Heng has a thrush? Why don't we let it turn against you!"

"Animals are spiritual. You can't buy them casually to make them betray their masters. And Prince Heng values ​​that thrush very much, so he should be by his side all the time."

"Is that so..."

After thinking about it, Ming Lanying could only think that the firewood in the kitchen and the hay used by the servants are the most flammable, but they need to be ignited by external force, and since animals are afraid of fire, this is probably not easy to do.

Ming Lanying looked at the sky regretfully, there was the sound of wheels rolling outside the yard, and it seemed that the ox cart was being pulled by the shopkeeper Li's staff, to collect the duck eggs and deliver the ledger.

After the spring, there were more wild ducks, and she and He Bai built many duck nests, and provided more duck eggs for shopkeeper Li. Shopkeeper Li’s restaurant business uses more eggs every day, and now the duck eggs are sold every month. It can be stabilized at three taels of silver.No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. With Ming Lanying at the bottom of the list, Hebai looked down on these three taels of silver, and was reprimanded by Ming Lanying.

The clerk happened to see Ming Lanying outside in the yard, and bowed to Ming Lanying, "Ms. Ming, I'm here to collect the eggs and deliver the account book."

Ming Lanying gave him a look, and He Bai hurried over to open the door, then hurriedly ran back to the kitchen, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the duck eggs."

The clerk respectfully sent the account book to Ming Lanying, "This is the account book for this month. The shopkeeper said that thanks to Mrs. Ming, the restaurant has improved. The shopkeeper invited two accountants to read the account book on weekdays." , I still don’t worry, I still have to make a move.”

Ming Lanying smiled and patted the thick account book, "You're welcome, your shopkeeper has a unique insight, and the business is supposed to be booming. I just have something to ask you to tell your shopkeeper. I may be in the capital for the next four months. If the shopkeeper doesn’t dislike it, he can wait for me to come back and continue to help him, and the duck eggs will be supplied every month, and my neighbor will temporarily replace me.”

"Yes, I've made a note." The clerk folded his sleeves and clasped his hands, and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that Mrs. Ming is leaving. After a while, the juggling troupe from the neighboring country will also come to Beijing to perform, and they will stop by us for a few minutes. There are dancers from the Western Regions, sword swallowing, bowl juggling in the air, and the most popular fire lion performance, which are very fresh!"

"Fire lion show?"

She only knows lion dance performance, which is a traditional culture for thousands of years. Bai Juyi once wrote in his poem, "Xiliang performers, masked barbarians and fake lions. Carved wood for the head and tail, gold-plated eyes and silver teeth . Fen Xun's sweater is placed on both ears, as if traveling thousands of miles from quicksand. Purple beard and deep eyes and two beards, encouraging the jumping beam to give a speech."

The man was talkative, and he described the scene to her with dancing, "Yes, the fire-breathing lion dance in the air, from the wooden stake to the high rope, is alive and well, and can turn over in the air. When standing on the highest point, the two A lion dance can breathe fire!"

Ming Lanying reminded Ming Lanying of the man's words, and after sending the man away, Ming Lanying called He Bai, "Do you have that kind of phosphorous powder or something that catches the wind?"

"Ah?" He Bai was taken aback, wrinkled his face in deep thought, and shook his head regretfully, "There really isn't such a thing."

Ming Lanying clicked her tongue, and ran to the next door to ask Dong Xia, Dong Xia really had them, "It was originally used to make medicine in winter, but it was too expensive and rarely used, I still kept some, this is too easy to ignite, sister-in-law What are you going to use it for?"

Ming Lanying chuckled, "Do bad things."

Dongxia smiled and didn't ask any further questions, she trusted Ming Lanying extremely, and carefully took out a jar, "This one will catch fire in the wind, sister-in-law, be careful."

Ming Lanying went back satisfied with a can of phosphorous powder, and it happened that Ma Er Ma San came back to inquire about the news.

Ma Er bouncing around counted all the people in Prince Heng's residence, "Including the gatekeeper, there are twenty left, the most in the kitchen."

Ma San: "Prince Heng hasn't found your lord yet, and your lord can still hide for a long time."

"Okay, I see."

Ming Lanying took out the glutinous rice paper that was not used up last time, carefully avoided the wind, divided the phosphor powder in the jar, took out the whistle, and summoned the birds again.

This time, only six flying birds were used. The phosphor powder was flammable, and the Ming Lan warbler was wrapped tightly, so that the birds were shaking open the powder packet when they got to the position.

The targets she set for the agent birds were the stable's hay and the study. Birds could not enter the study, but the windows were still okay. Ma Er inquired carefully and knew that there was a side window in the study that was unguarded and suitable for setting fire.

He Bai blocked the sunlight with one hand, raised his eyes to look at the little girl's distant figure, "Sister-in-law, whoever finds you wins the world!"

Ming Lanying stretched her waist, "Hmm...why?"

"You can drive all the animals in the world to fly, run and swim. You can also make them do things that ordinary people can't do. If you want, you can let them conquer the world for you. It's up to you Whoever wins the world!"

Ming Lanying stretched her neck, "It seems possible, but I'm not interested in this world."

He Bai crossed his hips and snorted, "Fortunately, you have no interest in this world, otherwise the world will change hands."

"Are you stupid?" Ming Lanying nodded her head, "Why do I want this world? Besides, are the soldiers raised by the emperor just for display? Compared with animals, humans are only better because of their unity." language and organization.”

He Bai wrinkled his small face and tilted his head in thought, shaking his head half understanding, "Then sister-in-law, why does that Ming Lishu keep grabbing you?"

Ming Lanying shook her head, and went back to the house arrogantly to look at the account books, "Because she is jealous of my mother's beauty!"

He Bai made funny faces behind her, "Smelly!"

In the afternoon, Ma San came back in a hurry to announce the good news, and landed on the window lattice with her little wings flapping.The agents and birds completed the task perfectly. As soon as the powder bag was sprinkled with the horseman's hay, it burned extremely fast. It happened that the horseman's boy was doing nothing to catch fish, so he didn't find it immediately, so it was too late when he discovered it. The horsemen in the platoon were all set on fire.

A group of people hurried to the horses to fight the fire, turned around and found that the study room was also on fire, and hurried to save the study room, and when the fire was completely extinguished, they hurriedly sent someone to notify Prince Heng. When Prince Heng heard that the study room was on fire, he hurried Go back, leaving more than half of the people here to continue guarding.

Ming Lanying asked: "Then what about your king?"

Ma San shook his head, "There are a lot fewer of them, and they can't encircle the entire mountain forest anymore. My lord escaped when they were exhausted."

"Where did you adults escape?"

The frontier is vast and densely forested, but there are only a few areas, no matter how you hide, there is nowhere to hide, and Prince Heng is staring at it, which is very annoying.

"My lord has gone to a neighboring country to find his wife."

Ming Lanying smiled, "That's fine, it's a long way to chase his wife, so she won't be in a hurry to come back, and Prince Heng won't be able to chase her to neighboring countries."

Ma San nodded his head, ate a handful of rice bran to replenish his strength, and then spread his wings and flew away.

He Bai held his chin and looked at Ming Lanying, "Sister-in-law, have they completed their task?"

"Well, it's burned. Prince Heng hurried back with his people."

He Bai cheered, "It's too powerful, sister-in-law is too troublesome."

Ming Lanying picked up the tip of her pen and buried her head in her books, "Is everything packed? The imperial decree is coming soon."

"Oh! Not so bad."

Just because Prince Heng rushed back suddenly, the golden eagle ran away again, and he was so angry that he punished all his subordinates.When the gekko lying in the corner heard it, Ming Lishu persuaded her with a cheeky face, and was implicated and scolded her a few times. This was the first time that Prince Heng didn't show her face in front of Yingying Yanyan.

Ming Lanying shook her head amusedly, because the golden eagles were haunting, Prince Heng kept a close eye on them, and led people to chase them all the way to the border between the two countries, staying there for a few days before returning.

Ming Lanying calculated that the imperial decree was coming soon, so she explained to Dongxia all the things she couldn't let go of at hand, and also told Little Squirrel, Brother Eagle, and Brother Owl to protect Dongxia for her.

After collecting the scattered things for more than a month, Ming Lanying didn't tell Hebai and Ning Erming, they also guessed that they were going to find Ye Juelu, and they waited for the imperial edict while they were expecting it.

The one who came to proclaim the decree was the emperor's personal guard, with an upright face, a masculine handsome man, broad arms outlined by silver soft armor, long hair tied up high in a neat spirit, riding a tall horse, flexible The straight waist and the slender legs on the stirrups are quite seductive.

"Follow the sky..."

The voice was deep and deep, and Ming Lanying moved her ears, feeling a little uncomfortable, maybe she hadn't seen Ye Juelu for a long time, and she couldn't bear the lethality of her appearance.

"The woman accepts the order, thank you Lord Long En."

Ming Lanying raised her hands above her head and borrowed the bright yellow scroll.

The etiquette of receiving orders was taught by He Bai temporarily. Although she didn't want to kneel very much, it was the law of this world, and accidents would happen if she blatantly violated the rules.

"My subordinate, Fan Yue, is in charge of the safety of Commander Ye's family. Please leave Mrs. Ye as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Master Fan, please wait a moment, sir, we will set off right away."

Fan Yue rode a horse alone to proclaim the decree. Ming Lanying and the others prepared the carriage by themselves. Fortunately, He Bai could drive a carriage, so they bought a comfortable pony carriage for 20 taels. The last wolf cub returned to Beijing with big bags.

At first glance, Fan Yue recognized the little thing that was wary of him as a wolf. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. After taking a second look, he was blocked by Ning'er's body. Ning'er explained to him seriously: "This is my puppy."

Fan Yue: "...Well, I won't grab it."

Ever since Ning'er knew that she was going back to Beijing, she had been looking forward to the days every day. If it wasn't for them not being able to leave the frontier at will, Ning'er would have wished to fly to find her father immediately.

This was his first time traveling far, and he looked at the beautiful scenery along the way curiously with his big eyes flashing. He was the most active at the age of five or six, but he still clung to Ming Lanying's side.Ming Lanying originally didn't want to take Ning'er back to the quagmire in the capital, but she was even more worried about leaving Ning'er here alone, so it was better to take Ning'er with her.

He Bai was also excited, opened his mouth and never stopped along the way, chattering more than seven or eight little sparrows, either introducing the capital to Ming Lanying, or asking Fan Yue how about martial arts, trying to learn from him on the way .

Although Fan Yue was impatient with her clamor, but considering that Ye Juelu had specially confessed to her younger sister, he resisted answering her question, "Aren't you all concerned about Commander Ye's current situation?"

"My brother? What's there to worry about? He's so big."

If something happened to Ye Juelu, Ming Lanying would definitely know about it through those little animals, she wasn't worried at all.

"Do Uncle Fan and Daddy know each other? Why do you call Daddy the Commander?"

Even though Ye Juelu was away, Ning'er's reading and literacy homework did not fail. Hebai taught him the basic skills to strengthen his body, and Zhao Taiyi taught him to read and write. The little guy now knows a lot and is very clever.

Fan Yue said softly: "I was brought out by Commander Ye. Commander Ye is very powerful in all aspects. It is the goal we pursue all our lives. We all respect Commander Ye very much. Ahem... your father manages the entire imperial city The Hundred Thousand Imperial Guards is now a very powerful person, so everyone calls him Commander."

"Oh, then my mother is even more powerful! Daddy is in charge of so many people, and mother is in charge of daddy. Daddy's is mother's, and the imperial guards are mother's!"

Fan Yue: "..."

He Bai laughed, and Ming Lanying quickly covered Ning'er's logical mouth, "Ning'er, don't talk nonsense, the imperial guards belong to the emperor, not your father, and your father's things don't belong to mother, wait for you When you grow up, you have to take care of your own things, understand?"

Ning'er nodded obediently, not understanding why mother and father spoke differently.

Riding a horse and traveling day and night for three months, driving a carriage is different. Even if traveling day and night, you have to slow down for half a month. In addition, Ming Lanying will not wrong herself. She will stop and rest for two days when passing by a bustling area .

After walking for a month, they stopped in the bustling Yongzhou, first found a big inn, rested and rectified, and then had a full meal and took a hot bath. Ming Lanying was going to go shopping in the streets to experience the customs of the big city.

Fan Yue dutifully followed behind them, hesitating and persuading: "The journey is long, please Madam Ye not to stay here for too long, after all, the master has something important to discuss."

Ming Lanying waved her hand indifferently, and agreed perfunctorily. His master is the emperor, and the emperor wanted to see her just out of curiosity, so it's not a big problem.

Seeing that Fan Yue was frowning all the way, He Bai poked Ming Lanying's back, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, do you want to send him back to the inn?"

"No, he's in charge of protecting us." Ming Lanying turned her head and glanced at Fan Yue who was always a step and a half away from them, "Master Fan, don't worry too much, we will rest for two days to make up some dry food, and we will pay for Master Fan's expenses." If you can afford it, just say what you need.”

Fan Yue cupped his fists, "Thank you Madam Ye, I dare not trouble you."

"Nothing, it's all incidental."

Soon Fan Yue knew what it meant to be casual. When you saw something interesting, you bought four, one for each person; when you saw delicious food, you bought four portions, one for each person;

Fan Yue was a little restrained, and was distracted by He Bai's few words.

Although Ning'er is restless, she is very well-behaved. When she sees someone she likes, she will first consider whether she needs it, and then ask Ming Lanying if she can have it. She is so well-behaved that Fan Yue is surprised.

Ning'er shook Ming Lanying's hand, "Mom, I want to buy a belt for Daddy, can I?"

He Bai gnawed on the candied haws and glanced at Ming Lanying, "Ning'er, you don't understand, the belt has to be sewn by sister-in-law herself."

The corners of Ming Lanying's eyes twitched slightly. Her limit was the exquisite tiger-head hat, difficult boots, and belts. She only made them for herself and Ning'er, but Ye Juelv's... really didn't exist.

Ning'er shook her head, "The carriage is bumpy, and my mother will get stuck in her hand. Sister Dongxia said that people who haven't seen each other for a long time should bring some gifts when they meet again."

He Bai smiled and rubbed his little head, "What gift do you bring when you go to see your own father? It is the best gift when you go to see him."

"Because I haven't seen Dad for a long time, I want to bring something for Dad. Dad is alone in the capital, and Mother is not with him. What if Dad doesn't have enough to eat and wear?"

Fan Yue: "... Commander Ye is fine now. After the emperor resumed his official position, he also gave the residence to Commander Ye again."

He Bai could not laugh, Ming Lanying still dotes on Ning'er very much for this, she squeezed Ning'er's little hand, "It's ok, what would Ning'er want to buy?"

Ning'er took Ming Lanying's hand and turned directly into the nearest shop. This shop is a bit special. It sells items such as wristbands, sword tassels, soft armor, bamboo hats, armed belts, and hidden weapon bags. Kind of like selling quack groceries.

Ning'er took Ming Lanying's hand and went straight to the display stand, pointing to a three-finger-wide silver-black belt on it, "Mother, this suits Daddy."

There was only one clerk in the store, looking lazily at the account book, glanced at them, then lowered his head again, as if he didn't want to answer.

"Madam and young master, this black jade hundred treasure belt is 50 taels, please take it after thinking about it."

Ming Lanying didn't understand these things, but thought that Ning'er's taste was pretty good, she turned her head and glanced at He Bai, He Bai tapped her chin with her fingertips, made a big circle up and down, nodded slightly, and the pretty voice was in Ming Lanying's ears Bian said, "It's a good thing. It's made of extremely tough cowhide and two layers of animal skin. It's not easy to break when cut with a sword. The black jade on it is real and pretty. It suits my brother."

Ming Lanying was just about to tell the clerk that she wanted this belt, when a female voice suddenly interjected behind her and cut off her beard, "I want this belt, wrap it up."

When the man heard this, he didn't care about Ming Lanying and the others, and went over to take off the belt, "Okay, girl, wait a minute! This is the only one, if you can't afford it, please let me go. Four or five people stand here to block it." We do business."

He Bai was taken aback, no one could snatch something from her hands, rolled up his sleeves and turned around to start cursing, when he saw the girl behind him, he became dumb again, and silently put down his sleeves.
