We say we are leaving, but we cannot just leave. We still need to prepare.

Su Yunnuan is not worried about money, but there are a lot of things at home, and Zhao Xiaoyuan and the others will also be busy. By then, they are afraid that the family will be busy and disorderly, and it will be bad if something goes wrong again.

On this trip, Su Yunnuan was going to take Pan Yushuang with her to select someone.

In the end, only Pandan and Angelica were brought, while Mrs. Zhou and Bao Xia were in charge of the affairs at home.

As for others, we can't bring them with us, because Lao Zhaotou and his people have to deliver goods one after another, and they are really busy. Besides, the valley is also busy. Once there is a market, the supply of goods must be guaranteed.

The two carriages set off. Su Yunnuan and Pan Yushuang were going out. How could they rest assured that Yuzhu was at home alone, so they took Yuzhu with them. The three sisters were not lonely at all. The chattering Yuzhu always made Su Yunnuan and Pan Yushuang laugh.

.

Qi Xuan was sitting in the carriage at the back, leaning on the soft couch and reading a book. Occasionally, he would curl his lips when he heard their laughter.

By now, Emperor Yuanchu had adapted to it, and the atmosphere in the court was clear and peaceful, which was a rare peace.

There are also many undercurrents under the calm. The matter of purging some corrupt officials in the imperial court has been torn open since Pan Yuhu entered the capital. And Pan Yuhu's abilities are very eye-catching, and his actions are very eye-catching.

It's not big, but he can see blood with a sword. As someone with no foundation, he will quickly establish his prestige.

Starting from Qingniu County, you have to take a boat to reach the Sishui River. For Pan Yuzhu, who was traveling for the first time, everything he saw was strange and he felt that his eyes were not full.

After crossing the Sishui River, it was already the time for spring flowers to bloom. Su Yunnuan would quietly observe Pandan and Angelica dahurica along the way. She did not bring Xia with her. Su Yunnuan had her own considerations. She first told Dongning Mansion

People in the secret land are afraid that they will have random thoughts after holding Xia.

However, they were trained people after all, and neither Bai Zhi nor Xiang Lan showed anything inappropriate. It wasn't until the carriage entered the city of Dongning Prefecture that Su Yunnuan discovered that Xiang Lan was a little distracted.

Su Yunnuan was a very calm person. She did not go straight to Yuelan Villa as soon as she arrived, but started looking for a shop as usual.

Perhaps because they are separated by a river, the people here always feel that there is something different, whether it is in appearance, clothing, or the most obvious difference in language. There is no retroflex when they speak.

It sounded like someone with a big tongue, but the accent was very tactful and the speech was fast, which Su Yunnuan still couldn't get used to.

Xianglan and Baizhi were able to answer questions fluently, and they didn't sound like outsiders at all when they talked.

Su Yunnuan suspected that they all learned it specially. After all, she knew that none of the four maids was a native of Dongning Mansion.

It is difficult to find a shop because the people here are very exclusive. This is not just outsiders, but the areas are divided into clan-like areas, and each other competes for every inch of land. However, the people here seem to be very friendly on the surface.

It's a very polite sense of alienation.

Su Yunnuan sat at the window and looked out. This was a place that people didn't like. Even if they opened a shop here, they would feel depressed. How could there be such a place in the world?

"Miss." Xianglan came over with hot tea.

Su Yunnuan looked back: "I don't like this place."

"Except for the locals, no one will like this place." Xianglan said and sighed softly.

Su Yunnuan held the tea and took a sip: "I see they have opened many shops."

"Miss, if you pay close attention, you will find that even if they open a shop, it is the family who buys things. Even intermarriage depends on the arrangement of the clan leader. If anyone dares to make a lifelong decision in private, he will definitely be abandoned by his family.

, once you are abandoned, you will lose the support of your family, and in the end you will not be able to survive and choose to die together." Xianglan said lightly.

Su Yunnuan did not continue to ask.

If anyone can bring the most comprehensive news, it must be Qi Xuan.

However, Qi Xuan has been missing since he arrived here, and he doesn't know what he was busy with.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Qi Xuan out of the corner of his eye, walking across the street in a black robe.

"Where's Yushuang?" Su Yunnuan asked.

Xianglan smiled: "Miss Yushuang said she would go out for a walk, so she took Yuzhu out early in the morning, and Bai Zhi followed."

"Yeah." Su Yunnuan found out. From the moment she arrived here, whether it was herself or the Yushuang sisters, as long as they wanted to go out, Xianglan and Bai Zhi would follow them and never let a few people be left alone.

There was a knock on the door, and Xianglan went to open the door: "Mr. Qi."

"Yeah." Qi Xuan came in, and Xiang Lan exited and closed the door from the outside.

After sitting down, Qi Xuan glanced at Su Yunnuan: "What do you see?"

"No business is allowed in this place." Su Yunnuan frowned slightly: "Unless we can find a strong local backer, where is the government office here?"

Qi Xuan took the tea at Su Yunnuan's hand and drank several sips.

Su Yunnuan wanted to stop her, but everyone drank, so she didn't say anything.

Putting down the tea cup, Qi Xuan said: "This is the most special place in the Dasheng Kingdom. There are also yamen, but it is not governed by officials sent by the court, but by the local chieftains. It is not called a yamen, but a local government office.

.”

"Toast?" Su Yunnuan became interested: "Can you manage all families?"

"Well, chieftains have existed since ancient times. Dongning Prefecture is a special place. Here, the three chieftains have their own place, manage their people, rule their soldiers, inherit their duties, govern their places, and participate in the world.

Qi Xuan has the special right to be entrusted with his title." Qi Xuan said.

Su Yunnuan suddenly realized: "Is this what the Tu Emperor meant?"

"Yes." Qi Xuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

At this moment, Pandan brought hot tea in, not a cup, but a pot. Knowing that Prince Qi and the lady must be talking for a long time, she quietly put it on the table and left.

"I've been checking on this chieftain these days, and I discovered a strange phenomenon. I'm afraid Dongning Mansion is going to be in chaos," Qi Xuan said.

Su Yunnuan poured tea for Qi Xuan: "Are they going to cause chaos, or do you want them to cause chaos?"

"Ah Nuan." Qi Xuan looked at Su Yun Nuan: "If I can make them mess up, they will be the first to show their flaws."

Su Yunnuan held tea: "Then you don't need to mobilize people? After all, they seem to be divided into many families, but if they really encounter foreign enemies, they will definitely attack them in groups. I'm afraid they will be so friendly that they

tongue."

Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does An Nuan know so much about Dongning Mansion?"

"No, I didn't know that Dongning Mansion was like this before I came here. I guessed it after observing it in the past few days. These people have too strong a sense of territoriality." Su Yunnuan said.

Qi Xuan tapped his finger on the table: "The chieftain has seven daughters, but no son. The door in Dazhai is closed. It is said that the chieftain is unconscious. People in the twelve villages are interested in taking her place. Do you think I am the one who takes her place?"

What should I do while I have the opportunity?"

Su Yunnuan murmured to herself: "Seven daughters."

He looked up at Qi Xuan: "Has there ever been a female chieftain here?"
