Now it was Lin Yiran's turn to be surprised, "Brother Yun Xiao, you are not mistaken, are you? Taxue is a Ferghana horse?"

"I will definitely not make a mistake. General Wei has a Ferghana horse bestowed by the emperor, and my master also has one. Besides, Taxue also meets the characteristics of a Ferghana horse. Look at its thin head and high neck, long limbs, well-proportioned body, and light steps." Shang Yunxiao knew from Lin Yiran's reaction that she really didn't know that Taxue was a Ferghana horse.

"Why didn't the horse dealer recognize it?" Lin Yiran said to himself.

"It may be that the horse dealer himself has never seen a Ferghana horse, so it is normal that he cannot recognize it. It may also be that Taxue is young and his hair has not yet fallen, so the characteristics of the Ferghana horse have not yet been fully revealed." Shang Yunxiao answered Lin Yiran's question.

"Then our family has picked up a huge bargain." Lin Yiran smiled with curved eyebrows.

"Haha...indeed." Shang Yunxiao also laughed.

"Brother Yun Xiao, Brother Jin Ke, Brother Cui Peng... come with me to the brick and tile shop later and bring all the materials for building the house back to Daxi Village today. We can gather the craftsmen to start work tomorrow." Lin Yiran said.

Shang Yunxiao said quickly: "Don't wait a while, go now."

Brother Lin glanced at them and said, "Have breakfast first."

Lin's father and mother also agreed: "Yes, let's go after we have dinner."

Shang Yunxiao's second senior brother Cui Peng said: "We had already eaten when we came here."

Lin Yiran said: "Then eat some fruit before you go." Then he took two big red apples from the bamboo basket in the carriage and gave each person two.

Seeing that they were hesitant, Lin Yiran stuffed it into their mouths and said, "Take it and eat it."

"Thank you, Sister Ran'er," several people said in unison.

"Don't be polite, we are all family." Lin Yiran waved his hand nonchalantly.

The few people felt very relieved after hearing this. They were originally a little nervous because they were kept back by General Wei.

Now seeing that the Lin family, especially Lin Yiran, were still as caring to them as ever, the few people who were originally confused about their future were suddenly full of longing for the unknown future.

Several people were crunching on the apples. The apples were full of fruity fragrance and had an excellent taste. After eating them, they felt comfortable and refreshed.

Shang Yunxiao sighed and said with emotion: "I wonder what kind of environment such delicious apples grow in?"

"Where else could it be? Fairyland!" Third Brother Lin joked half seriously.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

The corners of Lin Yiran's mouth twitched as well, and Lin's mother and father on the side looked at Lin Sange with condemnation in their eyes.

Why is this kid so careless with his words? Their fruits can't stand up to scrutiny. What if...

The two looked at each other and decided that they had to hurry back to the village to plant fruit trees.

"Lin Rui, it's getting late, we should go sell fruit." Zhang Kai reminded.

"Well, let's set off now," said Brother Lin San.

He turned to look at Shang Yunxiao and his group of ten people and said solemnly, "I'll leave the supervision of the house construction to you brothers."

"Don't worry, we will definitely live up to your trust."

Brother Lin San smiled and nodded, "Then we'll go first."

Zhang Kai also smiled and waved to everyone, "Goodbye."

After the carriage drove away, Lin Yiran said to Shang Yunxiao and his group, "Let's go too."

Lin's father and mother also wanted to go and take a look. Lin Yiran saw their intention and said with a smile: "Dad and Mom, take Wang Xiaohu and the others to clean up the shop we rented."

Father Lin then remembered the grocery store he and Ran'er rented, and slapped his head, "Dad, I have a bad memory. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. I really should go and clean it up."

Lin Yiran smiled and said, "After I clean it up, I will design it carefully and try to make it more novel."

Mother Lin touched Lin Yiran's head lovingly and said, "Okay, Ran'er, let's split up. If you can come back at noon, try to come back for lunch."

"Well, okay, but the chances of making it back are not high. Anyway, your daughter can cook, so you don't have to worry about us going hungry." Lin Yiran said with a smile.

"Yeah, it seems I've been worrying for nothing." Mother Lin also laughed.

Lin Yiran led Shang Yunxiao and his group to the brick and tile shop. Before they even entered the door, they were spotted by a sharp-eyed shop assistant. "Finally, Miss Lin, are you here today to get bricks, tiles, and wood?"

"Yes, I feel a little embarrassed that I have left it here with you for such a long time."

"Hey, it's okay. If the glazed tiles you bought, Miss Lin, weren't kept here with us, we wouldn't have been able to do those big deals." The young man said with a smile.

"Oh? It seems that your boss has made a lot of money again?" Lin Yiran joked with a smile.

"Thanks to Miss Tolin, I have indeed made a small profit." The young man smiled proudly.

"Did your shopkeeper offer to give me a commission?"

“Ah? This…” The young man was stunned and didn’t know how to respond.

Shang Yunxiao and the others burst into laughter at Lin Yiran's mischievous appearance.

This girl always plays by her own rules.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, are you scared by me?" Lin Yiran said with a smile.

When the young man heard the little girl call him Brother Yuan sweetly, his ears instantly turned pink, his heart pounded, and he was so embarrassed that he stammered, "Indeed... a little bit."

Lin Yiran said with a smile: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Brother Xiao Yuan, please help us count the materials I bought for building the house. We will take them away today."

"Okay, I'll go tell the shopkeeper right away." The young man ran faster than a rabbit, and his fleeing figure made Shang Yunxiao and the others laugh again.

After a while, the old master I met last time came out and said straight to the point: "Miss Lin, please wait a moment. I will contact a carriage. However, you bought a lot of bricks and tiles, so it will probably take about a week to deliver them all back."

"Okay, thank you for your help, boss." Lin Yiran thought about it for a moment and agreed.

She had no choice but to agree. The main means of transportation in this dynasty was the horse-drawn carriage. How much could a horse-drawn carriage carry? At this moment, she missed the big trucks and asphalt roads of later generations.

Lin Yiran and the others had not been waiting in the store for long when they saw more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages driving towards them.

These carriages all have one common feature: they have no roof and are essentially an enlarged version of a cart. However, they are slightly different from a cart in that the body of a cart is basically made of wood. The proportion of wood used in the body is very small, and iron plates are used instead in many places.

It seems that this is a horse-drawn carriage specially used for pulling bricks, tiles and wood.

Lin Yiran: "Boss, are all these carriages yours?"

"Well, the carriage is my own, and the horse and driver are hired from a livery house."

Lin Yiran nodded and said, "Boss, let's start loading the truck now."

"Okay, Xiao Yuan, go and call Xiao Zhi and Er Gouzi out." The old man shouted with full energy.

After Xiao Yuan called people out, the old master asked everyone to go to the backyard and start moving bricks and tiles.

By the time the cart was fully loaded, it was already noon. The master took a bag and handed it to one of the drivers, "Xiao Zhang, take these dry food and water with you for the journey."

"Thank you, boss," Xiao Zhang took the baggage, and the carriage began to move slowly forward.

The carriages were full of goods, so Lin Yiran, Shang Yunxiao and the others had to walk to Daxi Village.

Ever since Lin Yiran's family bought a horse-drawn carriage, he has been riding in the carriage when returning to the village.

Lin Yiran looked up at the big sun above his head. The midday sun was like a huge furnace, baking the earth scorchingly hot. The hot breath was unbearable.

It's such a hot day, and we still have to hike back. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. Shang Yunxiao is obviously aware of this problem.

Turning to look at Lin Yiran, "Sister Ran'er, don't follow me back. It's too hot. You are so delicate and will get sunburned if you walk back like this."

Lin Yiran was also a little hesitant when listening to Shang Yunxiao's words. With so many people following them, there was no need to worry about these drivers doing anything on the road.

She quickly took the opportunity to say, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I'll make you something delicious after this busy period."

When everyone heard that Sister Ran'er was going to make them something delicious, they were so excited that they shouted, "We'll remember this."

The drivers all curled their lips in disdain, "A bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world."
