Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times
Chapter 98: The Prince Raises His Armies
Du Wenxiu really didn't expect this. She originally thought that since she had no skills to make a fortune after traveling through time, she could just hide away and make some pickles to earn a little money.
It would be great if I could have a skill to make a living and save some money for my future children to settle down.
Who would have thought that after less than two years in this world, the world would be in chaos?
It's funny.
"Don't worry, Xiuniang." Lu Fanghai still comforted her
She calmed herself down, walked to the bed and sat down, then asked Lu Fanghai:
"Can the official guards of Prince Ning have 30,000 people? When did the conflict start? Doesn't the emperor know about it?"
Lu Fanghai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I heard that the emperor has favored Concubine Chi in the past two years and has not attended court for a long time. All matters, big or small, are handled by the prime minister."
"This time, the vassal king raised troops under the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials."
"When the emperor fails in his duty, the prime minister issues a self-criticism edict. This has always been the case in ancient times. How could this happen--" Du Wenxiu said anxiously.
"Alas, after all, the emperor shouldn't have personally issued an edict of guilt, giving the princes an excuse to raise troops."
If this vassal king wants to raise an army, it will be the same no matter who issues the edict of blaming others for their crimes.
Lu Fanghai couldn't help laughing. What was originally a very serious matter suddenly didn't seem so serious after Du Wenxiu's analysis.
"It's too late to say this now. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Xiuniang to be the emperor's advisor to prevent him from doing such a foolish thing, right?"
Du Wenxiu glared at him and said, "You're still laughing. How are we going to do business if the war starts? Why don't we ask Yue Niang and Qiu Yong to move to the city?"
He counted on his fingers and thought: "At least we have the city wall to block it. Even if we are attacked, we will have to hold out for a few days. Besides, most of our raw materials have been collected now, so let them send them to the city..."
Lu Fanghai came back from washing his hands and hugged her, crawled into the bed and covered her with his hands, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry about it. These are all the men's business. Why do you think so much?"
Du Wenxiu tried to kick him, but he grabbed her and held her cold little feet in his arms.
Du Wenxiu could not move, so he could only say: "After all, besides Qiao'er and Chan'er, there is only Yue Niang. Although we are just partners, she is like a sister to me. How can I not worry?"
So he told Lu Fanghai what Yue Niang had said today about the Lu family's arson, but he really didn't know about it yet.
After a long silence, he told Du Wenxiu to go out less in the future. It was a turbulent time now, and with the addition of Lu's uncertainty, it would be a real headache.
"The trouble is yet to come." Du Wenxiu said angrily, and told him about her encounter with Qin Dingxiang.
Now Lu Fanghai’s brows could no longer relax, and he asked her where she saw it.
Du Wenxiu told him the truth and told him that she had followed her to Paulownia Tree Alley, and asked him to go and see it when he had time.
Lu Fanghai flicked her forehead with his finger, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Don't do anything dangerous like this in the future. Your safety is the most important thing. Remember?"
Lu Fanghai instructed in a deep voice.
Du Wenxiu wanted to argue, but seeing that his face was very serious, she knew that he was worried about her, so she nodded in agreement.
Lu Fanghai wanted to say more, but he was afraid that she would be emotionally unstable and unhappy, so he swallowed it back.
He just sighed and kissed her forehead: "Qiao'er has Fan Chengyi now, but I only have you. You must trust me and don't put yourself in danger."
Du Wenxiu walked forward, hugged his waist, pressed his body tightly against him, and whispered "hmm".
The next morning, Lu Fanghai went to work. Du Wenxiu helped to lift the door panel and went to the place where Old Yang usually parked his car. It was too early and he hadn't arrived yet.
Du Wenxiu had something on her mind and couldn't wait for him here, so she went back and sat restlessly at home, getting up and walking around from time to time.
"Sister, if you can't sit still, why don't you take some money and go out for a walk?" Du Wenchan joked, feeling dizzy from her shaking.
Mr. Du Wen was about to say that you didn't understand, but he didn't want to tell her and scare her for nothing, so he smiled dejectedly and went to the back.
Du Wenchan just felt that she was acting strange today, but she didn't know why. Since she didn't say anything, she didn't ask.
Calculating the time, Du Wenxiu came out again. This time he found Old Yang and asked him to give Yue Niang a message, saying that he wanted to see her.
Old Yang has to go to town twice a day, and if he goes to the city, he only goes once a day.
So if you want to see Yue Niang, you will probably have to wait until tomorrow.
But when it was getting dark, Qiu Yong brought Yue Niang here. Du Wenxiu was surprised and happy, and asked her why she came at this time.
Yue Niang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she pointed at her and scolded:
"You asked Old Yang to tell me that you wanted to see me. I thought you were upset with Lu Fanghai at home, so I drove over to pick you up. Now you're asking me why I came at this time. You're so heartless."
Du Wenxiu realized it and felt a little embarrassed. He explained, "I thought you would arrive tomorrow."
The two walked in hand in hand. Du Wenxiu asked Yue Niang if she had heard that the princes from all over the country were going to Beijing to purge the emperor's court.
"I vaguely heard something. The owner of Hui'an Tower even said that we are not too far from Prince Ning's Mansion and asked us to be careful."
"Yes, I just told Fang Hai yesterday that why don't you and Qiu Yong move to the city as well? After all, we have the city walls and moat to protect us. Even if they attack us, we can hold out for two days."
Du Wenxiu said anxiously, and Yue Niang was stunned for a moment: "Is this why you asked Old Yang to call me here?"
Although he was smiling, he was a little choked up.
Du Wenxiu thought she had delayed her business, so her voice softened:
"I was thinking that if I were to go to Beijing, I would have to pass by here. There is no protection in the village. It would be very dangerous if bandits broke in like last time..."
Yue Niang stepped forward and hugged Du Wenxiu, and was seen by Lu Fanghai who had just returned from work.
"Hey——" Lu Fanghai went over and pulled them apart, his eyes full of confusion.
Yue Niang burst out laughing, grabbed Du Wenxiu's shoulders with both hands, looked at her, and kept saying, "You, you——"
Du Wenxiu smiled, hugged her arm, ignored Lu Fanghai, and walked towards the main room.
Lu Fanghai walked behind with a frown on his face, glancing at Yue Niang, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiaohu now goes to sit in on classes outside the school every day. After a long time, the teacher is unhappy and stops asking him to come.
Lu Fanghai brought a piece of meat to him today and paid him a tuition. From now on, he can go to school openly.
He was also very happy and worked with more energy, running around to help carry the dishes and move the stools.
"Look at your small courtyard. There are only a few houses, but how many people live here? And you asked us to come. With my mother-in-law, your courtyard won't be able to accommodate us."
Yue Niang whispered to Du Wenxiu and said with a smile:
"I'm not asking you to live in my house. Business has been good recently, and you must have made some money. Why don't you rent the yard next to my house? Wouldn't it be closer for us?"
The family next to Mrs. Zhang just moved out recently. I heard that they bought a new house and no longer need to rent a house.
Yue Niang stroked her chin and thought for a while, but still couldn't make up her mind.
