The Little Lucky Girl

"And help the Sixth Prince find his lost cat. Tsk tsk, you didn't see the scene. Every time it was a mess. The Sixth Prince cried more for his cat than when his father died."

Ming Youyou Yuxiang: Isn’t the Sixth Prince’s father the late Emperor? The Sixth Prince is really filial.

Seeing Zheng Huan and the others look a little unnatural, Ming Youyou thought of the great achievements of the three people in the past, and couldn't help asking: "Have you also contributed money to Lord Tao?"

"Don't mention it," Feng Xu said angrily. "The fight is fine, but the annoying thing is that every time we skip class, the academy asks the county government to find someone, and after finding them, they ask us to pay for our hard work. My pocket money has been taken away by Master Tao."

Ming Youyou laughed loudly, but Yuxiang's eyes became brighter and brighter. She now felt that it was not impossible to ask Lord Tao for help. "But I don't have much money."

"Don't worry, Master Tao may not ask you for money." Lu Tai said, "No, you shouldn't be the one to talk about this. Your second uncle should be the one to talk to Master Tao."

"Think about what difficulties your village still has. You have to go there anyway, so why not just tell them all and then discuss whether it's feasible or not."

Zheng Huan and his companions suddenly had an idea and seemed to understand how to find a breakthrough.

Previously, the leaders and elders had been avoiding contact with the imperial court. Magistrate Tao should not be afraid of them making requests, but he was afraid that they would not make requests. As long as they were willing to speak, they could more or less find out the other party's intentions. There must be communication before there can be friendship.

"In fact, you can go and see how the grassland tribes are resettled," Zheng Huan suggested. "Their new village was built from scratch, and the layout looks better than any other village in the past."

"After a while, when the villagers of Daqi have settled down, the county will hold a celebration for everyone. Lord Tao said that everyone in your village should come over to celebrate together."

Ming Youyou tugged at the corner of Yuxiang's clothes and said, "When the village becomes a town, the surrounding land will be valuable. Don't miss this opportunity."

"If you are bolder, you can buy a piece of land in the central area first. Even if the whole village pools money together, it won't be a loss. When my father heard the news, he sent an urgent letter asking my family to grab a few more pieces. Unfortunately, Lord Tao only allows each household to buy at most one piece."

Yuxiang was fooled by a few people, no, she was persuaded so much that she felt dizzy and forgot to take her new pattern when she left.

On the way, she went over what the others had said over and over again in her mind, and returned to the village with a lot on her mind.

Yuxiang stood in front of the attic, looking at her father's figure. After thinking for a while, she turned around and left, deciding to go talk to her second uncle first.

After hearing what she said, the second uncle didn't say anything for a long time, just staring at her. Yuxiang felt that his eyes seemed to be looking at her, but also seemed to be looking through her at something else.

But the second uncle's eldest son Yan Hong lost his temper and said anxiously: "Father, if the county magistrate can really catch that beast for us, then why don't we just listen to him?"

The second uncle shook his head, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "If he can help your sister get revenge, I will give him my life without hesitation, but I can't use this as an exchange. Remember, the village belongs to everyone."

Yuxiang sensed the trepidation in the words and said carefully, "If we want to find someone, the county magistrate may need more clues."

Second Uncle waved his hands feebly, "Talk to Yan Hong, he knows everything about that beast."

Yuxiang felt relieved, knowing that her second uncle agreed, so she immediately asked someone to bring the news to Ming Youyou and the others.

Ming Youyou and the others hurried to the county government office. Magistrate Tao had never expected that these kids could actually surprise him. He said happily, "After this is done, I'll take you to the horse farm to play."

The grassland tribe was settled in a new village outside the county town. Not only were they given land, but a new ranch and horse farm were also built. The ranch was used to raise horses, and the horse farm was used to secretly train cavalry for Dayu.

Yuqing County is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The attention of other countries is usually not focused here. Even if there are spies, they are not afraid, because they still have several masters from the palace.

Ming Youyou and the other three's eyes lit up, especially Feng Xu, whose mouth was grinning almost to his ears. Part of his Feng family's spear skills were used for fighting on horseback, and he hadn't practiced them for a long time.

Ming Youyou was already addicted to riding the pony. She thought the pancakes from County Magistrate Tao were delicious, so she immediately said enthusiastically, "Wait for Yuxiang and her cousin to come down the mountain, and then we'll bring them to the county government office?"

Magistrate Tao thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to come to the county government office, lest they feel constrained. I'll have Feng Liang take the yamen runners and you guys back to the village to wait. We're all young people, so it should be easier to communicate."

Ming Youyou blinked, "We need to draw that pretty boy. I'm afraid I can't do it well. Why don't we ask Master Wu Niangzi to go with us?"

Magistrate Tao spread his hands and said, "I have no objection, as long as you can convince the lady."

Mrs. Tao has not yet accepted the marriage between Han Wuniang and Feng Liang. She is at the stage where she will criticize anyone who mentions it.

Ming Youyou shrank her head, took a deep breath, and decided to risk it all for her Master Wu Niangzi. Then she was driven out by Madam Tao without even being allowed to eat.

Seeing the yamen runners who didn't get to eat the county government's communal meal at lunchtime, Ming Youyou felt that she had implicated them, so she reluctantly took out her purse and bought a steamed bun with meat for each of them.

Feng Liang pushed her hand back and said, "Put the money away. I won't let you pay for it."

Ming Youyou asked, "Brother Feng, what are your plans for the matter with Master Wu Niangzi?"

Feng Liang was optimistic. "Although it is inconvenient for us to meet now, we are both working hard. Lord Tao said that I did a good job in the grassland and in the mission to pick up people from Da Qi, and he gave me a great merit. The memorial requesting the merit has been sent to the capital. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be promoted to county lieutenant in a while."

This is because Mr. Tao is only a county magistrate now, and his reward cannot be higher than that of a county magistrate. If it were in the capital, such a contribution would at least be awarded the eighth rank.

However, his contribution has been recorded, and it will be easier to get promoted later. More importantly, he is no longer a commoner, so he will be more confident when facing the Han family in the future.

The Fifth Lady was also busy and often went to the grassland tribe.

On the one hand, she had helped many elderly people and children during the epidemic, and now she can better comfort everyone;

On the other hand, she also drew pictures of the tribal construction and pastures, which were sent to the capital by Magistrate Tao. This not only enabled the court to better understand the situation, but also earned her some credit.

Although this achievement did not bring fame or honor, but rather some rewards of gold, silver and silk, it would allow her to have more autonomy over her marriage.

Ming Youyou and the others felt that Han Wuniang was no longer the same person as when she first came. She was so withered when she first came, but now she was radiant and looked more and more like the impetuous Madam Tao.
