An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"Have the old general and the old lady read the letter?"

Xu Zize finally asked the question he wanted to ask, trying to bring up the issue that concerned him.

Jing Changjiang looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to know about this. But then he thought about it and understood. They were all members of the royal family, and Sister Xi had also said that Jing Yi's return to his ancestral roots was closely related to the Crown Prince. So, it wasn't surprising that neither Jing Yi nor Prince Jing had concealed this matter from him.

He nodded and said, "I've seen it! Prince Jing and Jing--he--Dingchun are sincerely seeking marriage, and my parents have no objection. However, according to Sister Xi, the two haven't made it clear yet. Whether it succeeds or not depends on their luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. His family agreed, but whether Jing Qiurong was willing to remarry was another matter. If Jing Yi was still in his original identity, he guessed his sister would have fewer concerns.

Now, Jing Changjiang was not sure what to say. After all, this kind of thing could not be resolved by a few letters from his parents and brothers, and they could not force him.

"Where there is sincerity, there is a way. If you put your heart into it, it will succeed." Xu Zize said these comforting words in a firm voice.

Jing Changjiang nodded and said, "That's all we can do. I hope they can have a good outcome."

The two fell into silence. After a while, Xu Zize looked at Jing Changjiang with a bit of trepidation, "Xier also knows the contents of the letter?" His voice was a little nervous, as if he was afraid of something.

Jing Changjiang looked at him, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He sighed and said, "I can't hide it from her. If she doesn't agree, her mother will definitely not want to marry her."

For the sake of their children, he also believed that his sister would be willing to sacrifice anything.

Xu Zize's heart sank slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded and said, "She has no idea?"

Thinking about how persistent and stubborn the girl was when she answered him, he didn't know if she could accept the sudden change from master to stepfather.

Jing Changjiang said in a loud voice: "What's your opinion? She even said she would give her mother a farm as a dowry!" He said this to defend her but also to show off.

Xu Zize's face showed a hint of surprise, but he said something a little incredulous: "Really?"

Jing Changjiang nodded and said, "If she was such a stingy person, how could she do so many things?" A sense of pride arose in his heart. The three brats in his family were not as good as a niece.

Xu Zize finally felt relieved. He picked up the teacup, drank two large cups in a row, and said with a smile, "I'm glad you're okay."

"Xier, I'm fine!" All his fatigue and worries over the past few days disappeared at this moment.

I'd thought Jing Chunxi would be troubled by this, consumed by it. His previous efforts to soothe her were in vain; she'd returned to Yamen Village, and her family had easily resolved her worries. Not only had she accepted it calmly, but she'd even considered the elders. The old general and the old lady were truly remarkable.

After finishing his meal, Jing Chunxi returned to the courtyard where he had stayed last time. He took a comfortable bath, which completely relaxed his tired body, and then he slowly walked towards the courtyard next door where Xu Zize and Jing Changjiang lived.

Following the light, Jing Chunxi walked over quickly and saw two people leisurely drinking tea. He immediately sat down on the empty stool in the middle and asked with a smile, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

She took the cup of warm water that Xu Zize handed her, put it to her lips and took a sip. The water temperature was just right, moistening her throat.

Xu Zize raised his head, glanced at Jing Chunxi, then looked at Jing Changjiang and said, "We have to put the ore on the mountain as soon as possible tomorrow." This was the decision they made after some discussion.

The faster-moving teams should be arriving tomorrow, as the village can't accommodate so many people. Even if we settle down some of the first few who arrive, some will have to go up the mountain by the day after tomorrow at the latest. Otherwise, the village drying yards and roads will be so crowded that there won't be enough space.

The space in the village is limited, and the soldiers keep arriving. If no timely arrangements are made, the situation will become very difficult and it will be easy to be exposed.

Jing Changjiang frowned and said nothing.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Zize said, "Tomorrow Xier and I will go up the mountain, and everyone else will stay at the foot of the mountain." His tone was firm, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

However, Jing Changjiang disagreed with this arrangement. He shook his head and said, "Two people won't do it. You might even get lost." He was worried about Xu Zize's arrangement. After all, they had only been to Shibaao once, and that time they had someone to guide them. Getting lost in the mountains was not impossible.

If they got lost, the consequences would be disastrous. He was worried about their safety and the lack of time, so he firmly opposed this plan.

Jing Changjiang thought for a moment and said, "I'll go up the mountain with you." He felt that if he went with them, he could take better care of them and ensure that everything went smoothly, so they shouldn't get lost.

However, Xu Zize shook his head again, "No, no one can estimate how many people will arrive tomorrow, whether they will arrive in the morning or in the evening. If everyone arrives one after another tomorrow, Kuaijiao and his men may not be able to stop them. If they rush straight up the mountain, it will be troublesome."

He had considered the situation carefully. If the soldiers continued to arrive and there weren't enough people at the village to accommodate them, the situation would become chaotic. Furthermore, "Besides preventing them from going up the mountain, with so many people needing to be accommodated, shouldn't the general meet with their leader to discuss matters? There might not even be enough houses on the mountain!"

He felt that Jing Changjiang played a very important role in the village and that he needed to stay to coordinate all aspects of the matter and ensure that everything proceeded in an orderly manner. Mainly, no one dared to disobey his words.

After a moment of silence, Jing Changjiang still refused to give in. "I'll be back as soon as possible."

He still insisted on his own idea, always feeling that his people would not arrive early in the morning. He thought that if he worked hard to send them up and then rushed back as soon as possible, he should be able to make it in time.

"No matter how hard we try, it takes half a day to go back and forth. General, you need to think it over carefully." Xu Zize was somewhat helpless against the general's stubbornness. The general was the most intimidating, and he didn't want him to take risks, nor did he want Zhuangzi to fall into chaos.

Jing Chunxi listened, feeling a little anxious. She knew they both wanted to get things done, but disagreeing made things difficult. She felt Xu Zize's analysis made more sense.

only……

She sighed and said, "Uncle, we should be able to do it." Jing Chunxi felt a little guilty after saying this.

She didn't know whether Xu Zize knew the road or not, but she herself would probably get lost if she hadn't climbed a mountain.
