Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Seeing that locusts sold quite well yesterday and that people accepted them well, Li Mengyue planned to increase the quantity and find buyers to sell them in other towns, in order to spread the idea that locusts are edible.

She didn't expect that the spiritual spring water she added would bring her such a big surprise. It also made her realize once again how powerful the effect of the spiritual spring water is. She had to hide the secret of the magic water bag and not let anyone know.

When Li Mengyue's fried locust business was booming, Xie Yunzhou, along with his personal servant Xie Ming and Manager Wang, went to Lanlong County, a neighboring county of Wuning County.

Xie Yunzhou was worried about the safety of his nephew Mingxuan, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He wanted to rush to Qingshan Mansion and look for Mingxuan privately.

As soon as he arrived in Lanlong County, Xie Yunzhou decided to conduct a secret investigation in Lanlong County first.

But the three of them were tired from the long journey and needed to wash up first, so they found an inn that looked crowded and stayed there.

In order to get the news better, after Xie Ming went out to get information, Xie Yunzhou also took Manager Wang to sit in the lobby of the inn, ordered a few dishes, and prepared to eat while trying to see if he could hear some useful information from the guests.

Xie Yunzhou had just picked up the chopsticks when the people sitting at the table on his right were talking excitedly.

One of them said, "Hey, have you heard? The young master of the Jiang family has been found."

Then another person answered: "What, you mean as long as you help find the young master, you are willing to give the Jiang family 10,000 taels."

"Yes, there is no other Jiang family in our county that can come up with 10,000 taels of silver at once."

"Ten thousand taels! I can't earn that much money in my lifetime. Who is so lucky to meet the young master of the Jiang family?"

"I don't know, but my third uncle's cousin's aunt's son works in the county government. He said he found it in Wuning County. A girl's twin brother was also abducted by human traffickers. In order to save her brother, the girl bravely broke into the traffickers' den and successfully rescued her brother and other abducted children, including the young master of the Jiang family."

"Really? This girl is so lucky. Not only did she save her brother, she also saved the young master of the Jiang family. Ten thousand taels of silver! She doesn't have to do anything in her life, and she won't have to worry about food and clothing."

"Who says it isn't?"

Xie Yunzhou listened to the conversation between the two people, ate some food casually, and prepared to wait for Xie Ming to come back before setting off for Wuning County.

"Wang Dong, if I remember correctly, you are from Wuning County, and you also got the Ganoderma from a girl."

"That's right, sir." Shopkeeper Wang followed behind Xie Yunzhou and replied respectfully.

"The one who sold you the Ganoderma lucidum was a little girl, and the one who rescued the young master of the Jiang family was also a little girl. I wonder if the two have any connection." Xie Yunzhou said to himself.

Shopkeeper Wang was walking behind and didn't hear what Xie Yunzhou said clearly, so he asked directly, "Boss, what did you say?"

"Oh! Nothing, go pack your things and leave immediately when Xie Ming comes back."

"Yes."

After waiting for half an hour, Xie Ming came back without bringing any useful news.

This was also within Xie Yunzhou's expectations. His nephew's identity was not ordinary. If it was really done by someone sent by a certain prince, they would not be able to find it easily if they searched like this.

The key is that we cannot search in a high-profile manner, we can only let the secret guards search in secret, which invisibly increases the difficulty.

One thing to be thankful for is that my nephew has been very smart since he was a child. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely take the opportunity to escape. I just don’t know where he ran to.

Xie Yunzhou and the other two did not stay in Lanlong County for long, and turned to Wuning County.

On the streets of Qingshan Town.

Li Mengyue was still selling locusts at the original place. Because there were so many people queuing, the 50 kilograms of locusts she brought were sold out in just a quarter of an hour. Even so, there were still many people who hadn't bought any.

"Ah! They're gone so soon. I've been waiting in line for an hour."

"Yesterday I heard from my neighbor that I could buy a pound of fried locusts for five cents, so I ran over to buy some, but when I got there, there was no one selling locusts left."

"Me too. I made a wasted trip too."

"What should I do? My son is waiting for me to bring back some fried locusts. I bought a pound of them yesterday, but I couldn't bear to eat them all because they were eaten up by two brats."

"My son is the same. What should I do? When I get home, my son makes a scene and my wife gives me a cold shoulder again."

"Today I want to buy three flavors. Yesterday I bought the cumin flavor, which was delicious. I wonder how the spicy and five-spice flavors taste."

……

Li Mengyue listened to everyone's discussion and really didn't expect that fried locusts would be so popular.

She had originally planned to find someone to help pull the 10,000 ducklings back to the village after they were sold.

That's right, it was ten thousand ducks. Yesterday she took out a thousand ducks from the infinite breeding base and immediately filled the number with ten thousand, spending ten taels of silver.

From this perspective, buying 10,000 ducklings for ten taels of silver is still quite cheap.

But ten thousand ducks are not like a thousand ducks that she can carry back in two large baskets, so she still needs to find someone.

Looking at the three younger brothers standing beside her, and thinking of the previous human trafficking incident, she decided to let Li Erzhu take the three younger brothers back, and then let Li Erzhu bring over 100 kilograms of fried locusts.

With someone to help at home, the locusts can be processed relatively quickly. They just need to be fried in oil and added with the seasonings she had prepared earlier. The fried locusts in three flavors, cumin, spicy and five-spice, are ready and can be sold on the street.

After estimating the time, Li Erzhu would probably come in the afternoon, so Li Mengyue told the people who were still queuing that there would be fried locusts for sale in the afternoon.

Although everyone is very sorry that they can't buy it now, they are no longer worried when they hear that it will be available in the afternoon.

Soon the crowd dispersed, leaving only Li Erzhu, three children and Li Mengyue.

After Li Mengyue explained everything to Li Erzhu, her three younger brothers didn't want to go back and wanted to stay in town with her.

However, when Li Mengyue said the word "human trafficker", the three younger brothers immediately climbed onto the ox cart obediently.

After Li Erzhu drove away in his ox cart, Li Mengyue went to find a human trafficker because she wanted to buy a house.

She had promised Mingyu before that he would send her to school, but there was no school in the village, only in the town.

But the distance from the village to the town is quite far. Not only would it take two or three hours to go to and from school every day, but someone would also be needed to pick her up. Given her family's current situation, this is obviously not realistic.

Only by living in the town would it be convenient to go to and from school. As for the money to buy a house, she had several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry piled up in her space, so she was not short of money.

There are two main streets in the town, one running north-south and one running east-west, with a crossroads in the middle.

Li Mengyue went to the human trafficking shop to learn about the situation, and then followed the human trafficker to look at several houses.

She decided to buy a house in the south of the town because she liked this house.

First of all, the transportation is convenient. You can get to the main street without turning a corner. There are not many residents around, so it is relatively quiet.

If she takes out a large number of ducklings or chicks from the space in the future, she won’t have to worry about disturbing the neighbors.

There is a small stream flowing by the door. In addition to more than ten rooms, there is also a well and a small garden in the yard.

What surprised her most was that there was a very large backyard. In addition to a woodshed and a utility room, there was also a stable.

She had originally been thinking of buying a horse-drawn carriage, but it was not very convenient to go to Uncle Lao Gen's house to borrow a ox cart every time.

When she buys a bullock cart, she won't have to build a new stable.

Therefore, Li Mengyue fell in love with the house at first sight and told the trafficker that there was no need to look at the rest of the houses.

If the house is good, the price will naturally be great.

Because this house belonged to a businessman, and his business was not doing well, he wanted to sell the house and move to the capital to develop his business.

However, since the homeowner wanted to sell it as soon as possible, the price was 10% cheaper than usual.

But such a big house, even if the price is not too high, will cost five hundred taels of silver.

After hanging around in the brokerage shop for several months, the broker brought seven or eight people to see the property, but no deal was made and he was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling.

Because in those years, there were still very few people who could come up with 500 taels of silver at once.

Unexpectedly, when he had given up hope, a big enemy came.

"Oh, no, his noble one."

After all, he could get twenty taels of silver from selling this house, while he only made one tael of silver a month. This would really allow him to live off the business for three years.

The house was just renovated half a year ago, so it's still quite new. However, there is no furniture inside, so we need to buy new furniture, pots, pans, and other items.

In order to save trouble, Li Mengyue asked a broker to help contact the furniture seller. She also gave the broker a bribe of one or two taels of silver and told him to order the wood.

The human trafficker successfully sold the house this time, and the twenty taels of silver he got made him very happy. He quickly waved his hand, unwilling to accept any more tip from Li Mengyue.

However, Li Mengyue wanted to live comfortably in the future and didn't care about the silver. After receiving the silver, the human trafficker worked harder and bought furniture of not only good quality but also fast delivery.

After handing over the house deed and other matters with the human trafficker, Li Mengyue returned to the house.
