Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

In the first few days after Li Yuan left, Wei Qiqi felt particularly uncomfortable. She always felt like something was missing.

Unexpectedly, after several years of companionship, her feelings for Li Yuan were so deep.

The adjustment period is hard to get over, and I always subconsciously call for help when doing something.

"Xiaobao."

silence.

She reacted and then continued doing her own thing.

The departure of the two most noisy people in the mansion made the City Lord's Mansion silent. According to Li Yuan's request, when he left, two people had to be left in the inner courtyard, and two guards had to guard the outer courtyard.

She didn't agree at first. After all, there were four more people watching her for no reason, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

After much persuasion, Li Yuan and Wei Qiqi both took a step back.

Wei Qiqi accepted Li Yuan's arrangement and asked four people to protect her safety, but only when she left the city lord's mansion.

The discomfort and uneasiness did not last long, and Wei Qiqi was overwhelmed by the tasks at hand.

Except for the rich and powerful, most poor people and ordinary people use coarse salt which is bitter and unpalatable.

Food cooked with this kind of salt is particularly difficult to swallow. Not only does it cover up the fragrance of the food itself, but it also adds a bit of bitterness.

Wei Qiqi's long-cherished idea was finally ready to be put into practice.

She tried it herself first.

When I started to purify the crude salt I bought, I discovered the difficulty.

She had no millstone.

There is no salt permit either.

After some consideration, Wei Qiqi decided to find out everything clearly before doing anything.

She had been busy writing books before, and had turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and paid little attention to the outside world, which made her out of touch with the people outside.

Now that Li Yuan is not around, and she happens to need to do something, why not go out and see what steps and things are needed to refine coarse salt into fine salt.

Wei Qiqi acted immediately and was about to go out. The guards outside were loyal and stood under her eaves to guard her even in the heavy snow.

I don’t know where Li Yuan got these two people from. They are so inflexible that they refused to let them in.

When the two guards learned that she was going out, their faces changed slightly and they told her to wait.

When they came out again, one of them was holding an umbrella and a cloak, and the other was holding two daggers.

Wei Qiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No -

Are these two people overreacting or is it Li Yuan who is overreacting?

"Isn't it necessary?"

"A slave only serves his master."

奴？

At this point, Wei Qiqi asked, "Xiaobao said before that one is called Jianfeng and the other is called Jianyu..."

"My name is Jian Yu, and his name is Jian Feng."

The one who spoke was Jian Yu, his face was solemn but not rigid, while the other person had a sharp temperament, which was consistent with his name.

"You are... Why did Xiaobao send you here?"

Wei Qiqi asked curiously. She had never seen these two people before.

"We were saved by the young master. We have no way to repay you for saving our lives, so we can only serve you." Jian Yu explained, but he did not tell Wei Qiqi about what happened.

She raised her eyebrows. Xiaobao seldom went out. When did he develop the evening party and when did he recruit so many people?

Li Yuan...

A shadow passed through her mind, and before she could think about it, Jian Yu spoke up, "Master, where are you going?"

"To the markets and fairs, and some carpenters and bricklayers."

Although Jian Feng and Jian Yu were not clear, they followed her diligently. Wei Qiqi put on her hat before leaving the house.

She knew very well that she didn't have the ability to make people jealous of her yet, so she tried to reduce the possibility of being framed and envied.

The three of them went to the market first.

There are a wide variety of things in the market, from large items like tables, chairs and beds to small items like pots, pans, seeds and the like.

It was this trip that made Wei Qiqi realize what was going on.

What she knew before at Guan Lu's house was mostly the same as what she saw today, but there were still a few things she had overlooked. If she hadn't gone out to get salt, she wouldn't have known that so many things had been overlooked.

After coming out of the market, Wei Qiqi went to some carpenters and bricklayers and kilns to take a closer look.

In this era, everything is manpower-intensive, and she has many things that can save manpower.

If the fine salt route doesn't work, maybe we can try other routes.

We have to find a way out for her and Li Yuan.

She had no idea that Li Yuan was involved in all her current plans.

Jian Feng and Jian Yu behind followed Wei Qiqi diligently, watching her walk and stop, touch the equipment from time to time, and then ask the boss some questions.

Finally, they were brought to a yard.

Seeing Wei Qiqi was about to go forward and knock on the door, Jian Feng subconsciously stood in front of Wei Qiqi.

"This is the yard where Xiaobao and I originally lived, and the people inside are mine." She raised her hand and spoke softly.

"You guys should relax too, don't be so tense."

As he said this, he walked around the sword and went forward to knock on the door.

After being outside all day, the wind was like a knife scraping at her exposed face, and Wei Qiqi reached out to knock on the door.

Knock on the ice with one hand.

After a while, someone quickly opened the door.

"Master!" It was Ye Yuanfeng who opened the door. The moment he saw Wei Qiqi, he shouted loudly. There was a noise from inside, and soon Ye Yuanxin and Ye Yuanjiang also ran out. Ye Yuanxin's hands were still covered with flour.

"It really is the master!"

Ye Yuanxin couldn't hide the truth and immediately became happy.

Several people greeted Wei Qiqi happily into the house. Jian Feng and Jian Yu looked at each other, and then followed Wei Qiqi into the house.

Seeing that the two were still standing outside, Wei Qiqi said, "Come in and eat together. Xiaobao asked you to protect me, but he didn't say that he would abuse you or make me unhappy."

Jian Feng and Jian Yu had just met Wei Qiqi and had not yet understood her personality. When they heard her say this, they knew that she had been unhappy, so they hurriedly went in obediently.

Wei Qiqi brought the chestnuts she had just bought on the roadside to the others.

"It seems you have been doing well during this period."

After Xiaonian went out to play with them, he let them have a good rest and recuperate. Together with sending Li Yuan away, it took about seven or eight days in total.

"That's right. The master left so much money. It would be stupid if I didn't spend it."

Ye Yuanfeng said with a smile.

Wei Qiqi also became happy, "That's good."

"I came to you today to arrange some things for you to do and teach you things you will need in the future."

Wei Qiqi untied her cloak, raised her hand and pointed at people, starting to instruct them on what was about to be done.

"Ye Yuanfeng sees people's poison. You have to go to the slave market and pick ten people. You need eight men and two women."

"Ye Yuanjiang, follow him and buy the things written on my list. Try to be secretive and buy them from several stores." Wei Qiqi said, pointing at Jianfeng.

Jian Feng looked at Ye Yuanjiang, then at Wei Qiqi, then turned his head to look at Jian Yu, indicating with his eyes that her safety was in his hands.

"Xinxin, come with me."

Wei Qiqi looked at several people.

If these people can get started quickly, they will probably be able to take on important responsibilities soon.
