After a while, Ye Yining returned to the carriage at the foot of the mountain.
She looked up the mountain, then at Jun Jiuji who looked calm, and asked in a low voice, "Have you got what you wanted?"
Jun Jiuji nodded slightly and took Xiao Ning'er's hand again, "Let's go up the mountain now."
Ye Yining was stunned for a moment, "Going up the mountain?"
Didn't they just come down?
Jun Jiuji smiled and stroked her confused eyebrows, "Since we are here, let's go up and have a look. There is the best charcoal cellar in Dongchu on Dongshan, which produces golden charcoal, and there is also a charcoal made by the Dongchu royal family.
The artificial lake is rich in whitebait and carp, and we also bought some."
Ye Yining blinked, then whose trees did she just harvest?
From the Dongchu royal family?
With doubts, she followed Jun Jiuji up the mountain in a hurry.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a more elegant teahouse appeared ahead. Chu Fenglin, who had gone up the mountain before, was sitting inside and talking to someone.
Before they could get closer, someone from the teahouse was already running over.
"Master Ye, Madam Ye, please sit inside!"
"Um!"
Jun Jiuji responded lightly and took Xiao Ning'er into the teahouse.
Chu Feng, who had just been quarreling with others, turned red when he saw the owner of One Night Thousand Gold City coming, his face darkened and he became quiet.
At this time, the middle-aged man sitting in front of Chu Fenglin stood up and saluted Jun Jiuji.
"Master Yecheng, the things you ordered are ready. I'll have them delivered right away. You and your wife, please wait a moment!"
Jun Jiuji nodded slightly but said nothing.
Chu Fenglin glanced at Lord Ye City quietly, and then his eyes fell on Ye Yining.
After enduring it and calming down, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Ye, what a coincidence!"
When Ye Yining saw Chu Fenglin taking the initiative to say hello, she responded, "It turns out to be the Ninth Princess, what a coincidence!"
"Lord Yecheng, nice to meet you!" Chu Fenglin quickly glanced at the masked Lord Yecheng, and then quickly lowered his head.
This Night Stalker, wherever he goes, his aura is overwhelming, so irritating!
Jun Jiuji didn't respond to her words, and his eyes didn't even waver.
Ye Yining thought to herself that Jun Jiuji might hate this ninth princess.
When Chu Feng saw the Night Devil King ignoring anyone, she didn't look for another topic, but waited quietly.
Ye Yining had no intention of talking to her, so she waited quietly.
After a while, a group of people came over carrying lots of gold charcoal.
Ye Yining looked at Jun Jiuji curiously, "How much golden charcoal did you order?"
Jun Jiuji replied in a low voice: "Not many, only three hundred baskets."
Ye Yining nodded. One basket was about one hundred kilograms, and thirty thousand kilograms of golden charcoal was indeed not much.
Chu Fenglin suddenly widened his eyes, "Three hundred baskets?"
She turned to look at Manager Li who had just received her, "Didn't you say that it was difficult to get out ten baskets evenly? Why do they have three hundred baskets of golden charcoal?"
Jun Jiuji frowned slightly, walked aside, and indifferently put all the gold charcoal outside into an empty storage ring.
Manager Li coughed lightly and explained patiently: "Ninth Princess, the Lord of Night City has been ordering these golden silk charcoal for more than half a year, and the money has been settled long ago. People must be honest."
Chu Fenglin was blocked and speechless, feeling extremely depressed.
"Then how much more can you spare?"
"The most I can give to the Ninth Princess is one basket. The prince asked for ten baskets, and the emperor asked for twenty baskets. There are really none."
Ye Yining was slightly surprised. The Emperor of Dong Chu only got twenty baskets of golden charcoal?
It seems that three hundred baskets of golden charcoal are quite a lot.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Chu Fenglin look at him, "Mrs. Ye, can I buy some golden charcoal from you? I don't want more, just fifty baskets, I'll pay double the price."
Before Ye Yining could say anything, Jun Jiuji had already refused.
"cannot!"
Chu Fenglin was suddenly stunned. She did not expect that the person who spoke out was the Lord of Ye City, and she did not expect that he would not give her any face.
Manager Li was afraid that the Ninth Princess might offend the Lord of Night City, so he quickly changed the conversation.
"Master Yecheng, the other things you ordered will be delivered soon. Please wait a moment."
"Yeah!" Jun Jiuji responded, then lost his words again.
Chu Fenglin was angry, but she didn't dare to offend the Night Demon King, so she had no choice but to keep silent with a dark face.
Ye Yining pursed her lower lip lightly and sat back next to Jun Jiuji.
After waiting for a while, someone sent something again.
This time, they were freshly caught large carp and whitebait, and there were a lot of them. There were twenty or thirty boxes of each type of fish!
Jun Jiuji put everything into a storage ring and gave it to Xiao Ning'er.
Ye Yining raised her eyes and glanced at him, took the storage ring and threw it into Yaolingxianju.
In just a moment, she stuffed the empty storage ring back into Jun Jiuji's hand.
Jun Jiuji raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Let's go! That's all."
Ye Yining immediately stood up and followed Jun Jiuji.
Chu Fenglin watched the two people leave, feeling inexplicably relieved.
She didn't know why, but she always felt uneasy when City Lord Ye and the others were here just now.
When they walked away, she looked at Manager Li again, "Give me as much golden charcoal as you can spread out!"
Manager Li glanced at her and said cryptically: "We can even out half a basket at most. The cellar will be sealed in two days. Not to mention the golden charcoal is gone, even the most common charcoal is gone."
Chu Fenglin was angry, so in the end he had no choice but to send someone back with half a basket of golden charcoal.
…
On the way back to Yiye Qianjin City, Ye Yining asked curiously: "Brother Ninth, did you really order so much golden charcoal half a year ago?"
Jun Jiuji smiled and pinched her little face, "Aren't you most afraid of the cold in winter? Dongchu's golden charcoal is the warmest. I order it every year."
When Ye Yining heard this, he suddenly thought of something.
In the past, every winter, the emperor would send several baskets of golden charcoal to the general's palace, saying that they were given to his father.
Now that I think about it, these golden charcoal should have been given to him by Jun Jiuji in the name of his father.
When she thought that this might be the truth of the matter, her eyes suddenly turned red.
It turns out that he has really been protecting himself in his own way.
However, she didn't know anything.
Jun Jiuji couldn't help but panic when he saw that Xiao Ning'er's eyes were red and her clear eyes were suddenly wet.
"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere, or are you unhappy?"
Ye Yining buried her face in his arms and murmured: "I'm not uncomfortable or unhappy."
Jun Jiuji gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling extremely distressed.
He held her in his arms and just when his fingers were stroking her delicate lips, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Ye Yining rubbed her eyes and was about to open the car curtain to see what was going on outside, but Jun Jiuji pulled her hand back.
