The clouds on the bed tent were warm, ripples appeared in the room, and the shy moonlight was hidden in the dark clouds.
Yun Miaomiao opened her eyes and felt that her whole body was groggy, as if her whole body had been run over by a car. As soon as she moved, Gu Fengqing, who was lying beside her, woke up.
"What's wrong? Are you thirsty?"
Concerned voices rang in her ears. Yun Miaomiao did not expect that Gu Fengqing would wake up and shook her head.
Gu Fengqing lay back and continued to hold him in his arms, "It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
Yun Miaomiao glanced at the sky outside and saw that it was getting late.
"Yunsu and the others are going back today, I have to get up."
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo hurried over here just to give Yun Miaomiao a wedding. Now that Yun Miaomiao was married, they naturally wanted to go back.
Gu Fengqing hummed, and then stood up to find clothes for Yun Miaomiao. When Yun Miaomiao saw him coming over with clothes without any hindrance, Yun Miaomiao blushed with embarrassment.
Seeing that she didn't take the clothes for a long time, Gu Fengqing looked at her doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
Yun Miaomiao took the clothes and whispered, "Turn around."
Gu Fengqing raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to go against her, and sat directly on the edge of the bed, speaking in a frivolous tone, "Madam, that's not what you said last night. I've seen it all, what are you afraid of?"
"You~" Yun Miaomiao threw all the clothes in his hands at his face, "Get out of here, you are not allowed to go to my bed tonight."
Gu Fengqing chuckled, "Why are you making a mistake? I'm going to ask Hua Lu to come in and help you?"
Originally, Gu Fengqing planned to do it himself, fearing that if he finally got married to a wife, and got angry with him because of this, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Yun Miaomiao covered her face, secretly hating herself for the messy words she said last night. If Gu Fengqing hadn't teased her and forced herself to say it, she wouldn't have known she could be like that in that situation.
Hualu had been waiting at the door early. When she saw Gu Fengqing coming out after packing, she immediately went up to ask for money with a smile, "Congratulations, uncle."
Gu Fengqing got her wish and finally married the person she wanted. There was joy on her brows, which showed that she was in a good mood.
"reward!"
"Thank you very much, uncle. I wish you a long life together and a son soon." Hualu took the reward, happily walked in, and went to wait for Yun Miaomiao to wash up.
By the time Yun Miaomiao came out of the room, it was almost noon.
She glanced at the sky outside and said, "I don't know if Yun Su and the others have left."
Afraid of missing out, Yun Miaomiao's pace quickened a lot. Hua Lu advised from the side, "Girl, please walk slower. The young master and the others are still waiting for you in the dining room. You don't have to worry."
Seeing her anxiety, Gu Fengqing walked over and held her hand, "Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo don't have to go back to the town. The first thing I came back this time is to marry you, and the second thing is to take them secretly."
When we go back, we cannot hide the fact that the academy was burned down from those in the capital. Someone will definitely come to the town to check it out. It is the most appropriate time for Xiao Zhuo to go to the capital at this time."
Yun Miaomiao paused, "They are all going to the capital?"
Gu Fengqing nodded and gently helped her up the stairs, "Not just them, but also you."
"You are now the wife of my Ming matchmaker. You are my wife, Gu Fengqing, and Mrs. Gu." His face with clear features showed a bit of seriousness, "Of course you want to go back with me. The emperor can't touch the Gu family.
It's a farce, they always want to give me this breath. If they want to plot against me, Gu Fengqing, and see my jokes, then they have to see if I have the ability. I have never been an easy person to control.
I’m afraid the imperial concubine’s somersault this time was a bit severe.”
Yun Miaomiao looked at him curiously. If it was just a matter between Princess Jiayue and Gu Fengqing, the imperial concubine would be upset at most, not that she fell miserably.
Is it possible that Gu Fengqing also gave the imperial concubine a stumbling block behind her back?
She asked, "What else did you do?"
Gu Fengqing shook his head, "I didn't do anything. I just returned to her all the things she had done to Ruizhou City before."
He was talking about the plague.
Yun Miaomiao understood and did not continue to ask questions. She was not very interested in those matters in the court.
The two strolled into the dining room. Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo looked at Gu Fengqing with unfriendly eyes. They relaxed a lot when they saw him helping Yun Miaomiao come in.
"Sister~"
"Cousin~"
Magistrate Zhao quickly ordered his servants to bring the dishes, "You are here."
With so many eyes focused on herself, Yun Miaomiao felt her cheeks feel a little hot for a moment, "Yun Su Xiaozhuo, godfather, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's okay. It's normal for young people to be sleepy." Magistrate Zhao said with a half-hearted smile, "Sit down quickly, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare your favorite food for you."
Yun Miaomiao's face turned red and she sat next to Yun Su. Gu Fengqing sat next to her on her right and handed her a glass of water.
In a short time, the table was filled with food, all of which Yun Miaomiao liked to eat.
At this time, Butler Zhao walked in from outside, followed by a familiar figure.
"Cousin, I'm here." Yun Ya walked in with a happy face.
Yun Miaomiao looked at him in surprise, "You're here."
Originally, Yun Ya was going to come with Yun Su and the others, but because Ying Feichen was not familiar with the affairs of Xianyun Pavilion and there were many things that needed Yun Ya's help, Yun Ya couldn't come back in time to help Yun Miaomiao.
She thought she wouldn't see Yun Ya this time, but she didn't expect Yun Ya to arrive early the next morning.
Yun Ya looked at Yun Miaomiao, who had crooked eyebrows, and was in a particularly good mood, "Cousin, how could I not come when you are getting married? I didn't catch up yesterday, but luckily I did today."
Yun Miaomiao pointed to the seat opposite her, "Sit down quickly. We are just about to prepare for dinner. You are here just in time. Let's eat together."
Yun Ya also came, and Yun Miaomiao no longer had any regrets in her heart.
After the group finished eating, Gu Fengqing took Yun Miaomiao for a walk in the yard, followed by Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo, while Magistrate Zhao went to handle official business.
After a plague, many places in Ruizhou City needed to be modified, and he still needed to spend a lot of effort to take care of them.
"We will leave for the capital in three days. If you have anything else to prepare, you can prepare it in advance." Gu Fengqing said in a low voice.
Yun Miaomiao glanced at him, then her eyes fell on Yun Su and the others behind him, "Do Yun Su and the others know?"
"I know, I told them all yesterday." Gu Fengqing had discussed it with them early.
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "You take Yun Su and the others back. I need to go back to Jiangning Village. My parents' things are still there. When I return to the capital this time, I will definitely clear the Yun family of their crimes. You
Just leave Qingyang to me."
"You won't go back with me?" Gu Fengqing looked at her in surprise. Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking with him, she asked in a deep voice, "Do you have to go back?"
Yun Miaomiao had firm eyes and nodded, "Well, I must go back."
"Qingyang and Dongqing give it to you. You get the things and return to the capital immediately." Gu Fengqing has been away from the capital for too long. If he doesn't go back, those people will definitely become suspicious. Mrs. Gu is easy to fool, but others may not be sure.
.
It would take seven or eight days to go to Jiangning Village from Ruizhou City. Yun Miaomiao knew that this would delay Gu Fengqing's plan, so it was better to go back alone.
Sure enough, after knowing his plan, Gu Fengqing didn't look good, but he didn't stop Yun Miaomiao from going back.
"You should pay more attention to safety along the way. Although the plague has been solved now, the drought has not been completely solved. I don't know when it will rain. There must be a lot of banditry along the way. I'm still not at ease if you go alone.
." Gu Fengqing expressed his worries.
Yun Miaomiao held his hand, a little coldly, "As long as Qingyang and Dongqing are here, I will be fine. And I'm not one of those charming young ladies who don't know anything. Don't forget that I own half of the country now."
People, the emperor's treasury may not be as large as mine. Money can make all the trouble, and banditry is the same. Just put your heart in your stomach, I will be fine, but you, don't let me worry."
Yun Miaomiao can earn a thousand taels of gold just from the Yun Cui Pavilion in her hand. Not only the people in the inner courtyard of the palace, but also many of the royal family and nobles know that the Yun Cui Pavilion is novel in style and is well made.
The stuff that comes out is a bit expensive, but who doesn’t want unique jewelry?
Those ladies all like it very much. To put it bluntly, they are tailor-made jewelry. They are willing to spend money. The small output of Yuncui Pavilion will further stimulate their eagerness to get it, especially the younger sister who is captured by County Magistrate Zhao.
, became famous at the banquet, Yun Cui Pavilion's status soared, and it directly became the target of everyone's praise.
Nowadays, everyone is proud to use Yuncuige jewelry. It is a very honorable thing to carry a set of Yuncuige jewelry with you when you go out.
For this reason, Yun Miaomiao also asked someone to give Zhao Hui'er a set of fine jewelry, in order to make Yun Cui Pavilion's reputation more prominent in the capital.
It is said that Zhao Huier brought jewelry to the palace banquet, and was praised a few times by the imperial concubine. After that, the imperial concubine secretly went to Yuncui Pavilion and ordered a set of jewelry worth one hundred thousand taels of silver, using red shark beads from the East China Sea.
The phoenix crown made of ice jade, shopkeeper Liu didn't care about her intention of making it, as long as she made money, it was directly made into the most luxurious appearance, which instantly satisfied the noble concubine's vanity.
Later, it was said that the emperor also praised it several times, but the treasury lost half of its money because of it, which made the high officials in the court complain about it.
However, this is not what Yun Miaomiao cares about. The money is already in his hands, and it is his own.
If the imperial concubine's group knew that this money ended up in her hands, they would probably feel sick in their hearts.
Gu Fengqing hummed, "I'll keep an eye on them both, Yun Ya~"
"There is also Xianyun Pavilion in Yunya. The owner of Xianyun Pavilion needs someone to come forward. Now he can take charge of it on his own. I can trust Xianyun Pavilion to him."
"You and Yun Su are gone, will Yun Ya be willing to stay there alone?"
Yunya only has his cousin Yun Miaomiao in his heart and eyes, and Gu Fengqing doesn't think he would be willing to stay alone in the small town.
Yun Miaomiao was silent. Gu Fengqing was right. Yunya already lacked a sense of security. Now that he and Yun Su had left, he might not be willing to stay alone in the small town.
"Then I'll ask him." She still wanted to see what Yun Ya meant.
When Yun Miaomiao returned to her yard, she called Yun Ya over and told him what she meant.
"I'm going back to the town." Yun Ya said firmly, "Cousin, you built Xianyun Pavilion with great difficulty. Now that the plague has passed, it's a good time to make money. Although Dean Ying lives in the courtyard now,
But I still have to take care of the affairs in the hospital. I don’t feel comfortable leaving Xianyun Pavilion to others. Cousin, you can go to the capital. When Xianyun Pavilion stabilizes, I will go to the capital to find you. Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo will be ranked by then.
, I will definitely go to the capital to celebrate them."
In the blink of an eye, Yun Ya has been by his side for almost two years. He has long since lost the caution he once had and has now grown into a steady man.
Yun Miaomiao rubbed his hair, "Okay, I can rest assured that you are in Xianyun Pavilion. This is five hundred taels of silver in case Xianyun Pavilion needs it in case of emergencies. If anything happens, you can ask someone to write to me."
Here’s a letter. Dean Ying has the Xu family’s carrier pigeon. If he misses us, he can write to us.”
Yun Ya nodded, did not refuse the bank note given by Yun Miaomiao, and collected the bank note.
"Don't worry, cousin. As long as the dean is here, nothing will happen to Xianyun Pavilion. I will write to you. I will write to you after I finish learning the hundred-character score."
Now there is Ying Feichen in Xianyunge, and he gets along with Yunya every day. When he has nothing to do, he starts to teach Yunya how to read and write. Although Yunya's ambition is not to obtain fame, if he wants to help Yun Miaomiao develop Xianyunge's business
After sorting it out, I still needed to be able to read and write, so I followed Ying Feichen to read and learn to read.
After going back and forth, Yunya now knows a lot of words from reading, and it will be almost soon when he can write a complete letter by himself.
Three days later, Yun Miaomiao and Gu Fengqing packed their things and set off from Ruizhou City, one going to the capital and the other to Jiangning.
Yun Miaomiao was riding in a carriage, and it took three to five days to get to Jiangning Village in Yuan'an County. When she arrived at Jiangning Village, Yun Miaomiao almost thought she had come to the wrong place.
Qingyang looked at the grass that was half a man tall, not sure if he had gone to the wrong place. He turned back to look at Yun Miaomiao, "Madam, are you sure this is where you want to come?"
Yun Miaomiao jumped out of the car and walked a few steps forward along the path in her memory, "There is nothing wrong here, it's just~"
This is a village rather than a wasteland. Although the people in Jiangning Village are not so poor that they cannot afford to eat, they are not in the current situation.
The road into the village in front of us has been occupied by weeds. At first glance, it is also deserted inside. It looks like no one has lived here for a long time.
It has been almost a year since she left Jiangning Village. How could this place become like this?
"Come on, let's go in and take a look." Yun Miaomiao asked Qingyang to take the baggage and lead the people towards the village.
Holly is leading the way, Yun Miaomiao is walking in the middle, and Qingyang is behind.
Although the weeds are half as tall as a person, it is not too difficult to walk in because they have been walking for many years.
When she arrived at the door of her house, Yun Miaomiao saw clearly that the surrounding houses had collapsed. She didn't know why, but they were all in pieces.
Except for the red brick house of the Yun family, all the others have become uninhabitable houses.
Fortunately, Yun Miaomiao had paved the ground with tiles, and now except for the scattered fallen leaves, it doesn't look too desolate.
She went into the house, got something, and came out, "Let's go to the county seat and find out what's going on."
There is no one in such a big village now. What is going on?
Could it be that the plague infected the entire Jiangning Village?
Or is it that Jiangning Village, like the people in the small town, was taken away by people like Ying Feichen and hid somewhere?
Qingyang and Dongqing looked at each other and followed Yun Miaomiao to the county seat.
Yuan'an County
The streets were no longer as bustling as before, with a few people walking around and fewer people hawking on the streets.
Yun Miaomiao walked around, walked to a tea shop and sat down, "Three bowls of tea and a stack of peanuts."
"Coming~"
After a while, the owner of the Kung Fu Tea Shop came over with tea and said, "Dear guests, this is the tea you want, as well as peanuts."
Yun Miaomiao looked at the boss and said, "Boss, how long have you been doing business here? Let me ask you something."
The tea shop owner smiled and responded, "Okay, I've lived here for more than ten years. Tell me what you want to find out."
"Just to the southwest of Yuan'an County, there is Jiangning Village, do you know?" Yun Miaomiao paused and continued, "My previous home was there. This time I came back to find relatives, but I didn't expect that the village was gone.
Do you know where all the people there have gone?"
"Jiangning Village?" the tea shop owner began to think, "Oh, I know, the place you mentioned, I don't know if it was last year or the year before last, a large group of bandits came to the den and kidnapped the entire village.
He left. No one knows where he was kidnapped. Some said he was taken to a bandit's den on the Qinlan River and worked as a coolie. Others said he was thrown into the mountains and killed by bandits. What did he say?
Everything is there, but I haven’t seen anyone come back.”
The tea shop owner lamented, "Originally, that village was poor, but later it was said that a man who had committed a crime was exiled there, and life in the village became better. I don't know if it was because of this that these people were jealous, or because of the man behind his back.
The enemies came to seek revenge. In short, the whole village was gone."
Yun Miaomiao's eyes darkened. Who would have a grudge against an entire village? It would be even more impossible to have a grudge against the Yun family~
No, there is someone who does.
After Gu Fengqing regained his memory, the news spread that he was rescued by people from Jiangning Village. In other words, those people directly killed the entire village for revenge.
‘Bang~’ Yun Miaomiao had a dark face and smashed the bowl in his hand on the table, these beasts.
When the tea shop owner saw that the bowl in her hand was broken, he immediately became anxious and said, "Hey, my bowl~"
