Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu also thought about the issue of trust, but she didn't care too much about it.

"The prince and I just met for the first time today. He knows a little about me, so it's normal that he doesn't completely trust me. Even I, although I trust Princess Jianing, cannot completely trust him. In other words, we are actually gambling now."

I bet that Princess Jianing, Mr. Su, Prince An, and Su Yi have good vision, and that the prince is consistent in his words and deeds and is a better person than Prince Hui, Prince Cheng, and Prince Kang.

"Since we have already met the Crown Prince, we will be on his side from now on. Stop having these random thoughts and just live your life peacefully." Li Yu patted his shoulder. "As long as this is done, the people from Prince Hui's Mansion and the Minister of Revenue's Mansion will not bother us anymore."

Han Zheng hummed.

After saying that, Han Zheng asked whether he should tell Han Xiaomei, Lu Xuan Sier and the other three now.

Li Yu thought about it again and decided to tell only Lu Xuan.

Han Xiaomei and Si'er are too young and sometimes can't control their emotions, so it's better for them to say nothing.

Anyway, the two of them already knew that King Hui's group was not a good group, so they were on guard. There were guards at home now, so as long as they were careful, nothing serious should happen.

*

The prince acted quickly. On the third day after Li Yu met him, Princess Jianing sent a message saying that the Eastern Palace had found more than a hundred people, and all of them entered Prince An's manor outside the city without saying a word.

The village is called Hujia Village. It is located in a remote area and is the most inconspicuous private property of Princess An.

In addition, a large number of food ingredients were transported to the farm from other places.

As long as Li Yu has time, he can go there at any time.

Nowadays, the hot pot restaurant and barbecue restaurant are managed by Nanny Tian and Madam Yan, so even if Li Yu goes out for a month, it will not affect the business.

So Li Yu decided to leave in the afternoon.

It is better to do things early rather than late. Now that you have a plan, you can do it early and make money early.

*

Because she didn't know how many days she would be away, Li Yu told her family before leaving. Han Xiaomei vaguely sensed that her second sister-in-law was doing something very important, so she sensibly didn't stop her, but her eyes showed reluctance.

Li Yu patted her head and said, "I'll be back soon. Be good at home and don't run around. If you want to go out, let Brother Lu Xuan go with you."

Han Xiaomei: "I know, sister-in-law, you should be careful when you go out."

Li Yu: "Don't worry, there are guards in the palace, everything will be fine."

After finishing speaking, Li Yu looked at Lu Xuan and said, "I'll leave the house to you guys. You can arrange for Miao Da and Miao Er. If there is anything, go to Prince An's Mansion and ask someone to send me a letter."

Lu Xuan: “Okay.”

Finally, it’s Madam Mu and Fang Erya’s family. They just need to do their work step by step and don’t need to worry about anything else.

*

After arranging everything, Li Yu carried his luggage and got on the carriage of Prince An's mansion.

The reason they went out this time was to relax.

The drama in the past few days was enough, and all the officials in the capital knew that Princess Jianing and the Crown Princess had quarreled and were very unhappy. This just provided them with a reason to relax.

But there were still people from Prince Hui's palace following them secretly.

This was something that had been anticipated, so the two of them did not go to Hujiazhuang first, but went to another manor called Dingjiazhuang in the Prince An's Mansion to stay overnight. The next morning, the two of them hid in a carriage that was transporting things out of the manor and sneaked out.

"My father arranged three groups of guards. One group disguised as traveling merchants, one group stayed in Dingjiazhuang to confuse those who were following us, and the last group waited for us in Hujiazhuang." Princess Jianing said, "It's really troublesome. It's never been like this before. That King Hui is really abominable. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely give him a good beating!"

Seeing her throwing a tantrum like a child, Li Yu laughed, "That day will come, Princess, don't worry."

*

Dingjiazhuang is more than 20 miles away from the capital. It is a fairly large village. In the center of the village is a large house, surrounded by some ordinary brick and tile houses.

The carriage passed through the dirt road in the village and went directly into the mansion.

The house was filled with people from Prince An's mansion. After receiving the news, they made preparations early. As soon as the two got off the carriage, several maids led them into the house.

One of the old women who looked like a housekeeper stood behind Princess Jianing and said, "Princess, everything has been arranged according to the prince's request. I have also found two people with similar body shapes to you and Madam Li. Do you want to take a look?"

Princess Jianing sat on the chair and said, "Go ahead."

After that, she explained to Li Yu, "My father asked them to find two people. After we leave, they will pretend to be us and stay in the house pretending to be sick. This way, as long as the people in Prince Hui's mansion don't break into the house, they won't discover our secret."

Li Yu: "Your Majesty has made all the arrangements, it couldn't be better. But how did they know my figure? Did the princess ask someone to draw a picture of me?"

Princess Jianing: "Yes, the painter in the mansion saw you once and drew a rough sketch of you."

Li Yu understood, and had to say that King An was very well prepared.

*

After they had drunk half a cup of tea, the old woman brought in two women.

The women are not very old, probably around 17 or 18 years old. If you don’t look at their faces, but only at the back, they do look a bit like them.

Princess Jianing looked very satisfied and said to the old woman, "Have you told them everything you should say?"

The old woman bowed her head and said respectfully: "I have already said that they are both family-born children. Both my father and mother have worked in our manor for their entire lives. Princess, don't worry."

Princess Jianing nodded and said, "You did a good job. Go down and claim your reward later. As for the two of them, make them some new clothes. From now on, don't let them go out and show their faces."

Old woman: "I will remember this."

*

The old woman quickly retreated with the two women.

Li Yu and Princess Jianing waited until the evening to have some dinner, then returned to their room early to wash up and go to bed.

Early the next morning, the two men changed into the clothes commonly worn by slaves on the farm, went to the backyard and sat in a large wooden barrel that was deliberately made to look old and dirty.

Then, the wooden barrel was put on the泔水车 and swayed away.

Princess Jianing had grown up in a pampered state, but this was the first time she had ridden in this kind of car. She wanted to vomit, but she held it back.

Li Yu was fine. The wooden barrel and the cart were deliberately made. They were not real swill carts and had never been loaded with swill. However, the road on the farm was not paved with stone slabs and was a bit uneven. The cart was shaking and it was a bit uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After leaving the village, they made sure that there were no spies following them, so they jumped out, got on the carriage disguised as guards of traveling merchants, and headed for Hujiazhuang.

*

Hujiazhuang is to the south of Dingjiazhuang, about eight or nine miles away, and the carriage arrived quickly.

After arriving at the place, the leader of this group of guards talked with the guards in the village, and after confirming that the place was absolutely safe, he drove into the village.

Unlike Dingjiazhuang, the entire Hujiazhuang is fenced off, with eighty to ninety households living within the large wall.

The big house where the master lives is at the northernmost part of the village, where the wall is the highest.

Li Yu and Princess Jianing went over, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and then went to meet the person sent by the prince.
