Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

After receiving the message from the old man, Leng Yuyang handed over all the work in his hands to Leng Chengdong.

Leng Chengdong looked at the backs of the younger generations as they left, and unconsciously whispered to Ye Chaoyang beside him: "Hey, look, we are old after all, and the old man doesn't even come to discuss things with us anymore."

Ye Chaoyang and Hua Mingche were restless after they recovered, so they came out to help with the construction work.

Now that I see the younger generations have left, I feel a little relieved.

"Who says it isn't? Maybe the old man also thinks that we are too old and can't do some of the work." Fortunately, several younger generations in his family were not left behind, otherwise he would feel even more sad.

Hua Mingche heard the two men muttering and walked up behind them, placing his hands on their shoulders. "Alright, both of you, stop looking so melancholy. Do you think building a city is easy? The children have their own things to do. Let's just focus on what's happening right now."

Leng Chengye and Ye Chaoyang were just complaining. Ever since the imperial court broke off relations with them, they had actually discovered that these youngsters were all very smart and even smarter than them.

Right now, I'm just expressing my feelings casually.

"Yes, Brother Hua is right. Our mission is also very important. Let's focus on the work at hand!"

City Lord's Mansion

"Brother, what do you think?"

Leng Youran gathered everyone in the yard and told them her thoughts.

Leng Yuyang is the eldest son in the family and also the oldest among the younger generations (except Leng Hanxiang and Zhuang Chenxu, of course).

He was the first to express his opinion, "I think it's possible. As for me, I have decided to stay in the North. The situation in the court is unclear now, so we have to leave some people in the North... Yuze, Yuning, Yuheng and Yucheng, what are your plans?"

Leng Yucheng and Leng Yuheng exchanged a glance and said, "Brother, my fifth brother and I are only capable of leading troops. We may not be able to do business, so we have decided to stay in the North."

Leng Yuze and Leng Yuning also glanced at each other. Without waiting for Leng Yuze to speak, Leng Yuning stood up and said, "Brother, I want to go out and try my luck. I feel relieved to have you guys with me in the Northland. In this case, why not go out and take a look?"

Leng Youran was not too surprised by Leng Yuning's decision. In fact, she always thought that her second and third brothers were both lively and unrestrained, and that kind of personality was actually very good for doing business outside.

Leng Yuze also wanted to go out, but Chen Yan'er was more than four months pregnant. He was not there when she gave birth to her daughter. If this time...

Leng Yuyang saw his concerns and said, "Yuze, don't go out. It's not right for your sister-in-law to be away from her when she's pregnant."

Leng Yuning: "Yes, second brother, you should stay in the North. There are a lot of things to do in the North."

"Well, second brother, you stay. Second sister-in-law's side is important. If you want to go, let's talk about it later. There will be plenty of opportunities." It was You Xian who told her about Chen Yan'er's pregnancy.

It is said that she was pregnant when she got married, but the ancients had a taboo against making it public before three months.

So she was the last to know.

Seeing this, others also followed suit and tried to persuade him.

After persuading him, Ye Chaoyang's eldest son Ye Yifan also stood up and said, "My brothers and I want to go out and take a look."

Without waiting for Leng Yuyang, Leng Youran and the others to refute, he continued, "Listen to me, our identities are much more convenient than Yuning's. Besides, our Ye family used to do business abroad. It's only since we came to the North that we would have stayed in one place for so long. Although we have occasionally gone out in the past few years, it was always with my father and Uncle Hua, and we didn't go far. To be honest, I have almost forgotten the days when we were doing business, so this time we must go out."

Even though he said this, Leng Youran and Leng Yuyang still had some concerns.

Leng Youran: "Brother Yifan, are all five of you going out?"

Although what he said makes sense, the situation is different now.

Even though the Ye family had a clean identity, being associated with them would inevitably lead to more trouble, and five people were eliminated at once.

Ye Chaoyang has three brothers. Except for the third uncle who has a son and a daughter, the other two families have two sons. If they all go out, the only younger generation in the Ye family will be Ye Qinghan (the daughter of the third uncle of the Ye family).

Ye Yifan knew what she was worried about and waved his hand. "Don't worry, sister Ran'er, we have made up our minds. Don't worry, it's not like we won't come back. Besides, Huo Tong and the others are going with us this time, so nothing will happen to us. As for our departure, we will explain it to our family when we return. We will only deliver goods to Zhoucheng and Liancheng in the Northland. Now that the business there is closed, there is not much point in us staying in the Northland. It is better to go out and try our luck."

Leng Yuyang thought for a moment and said, "How about this? The five of you discuss it and leave two of you in Liangzhou, Liucheng, or Wuzhou and Yunzhou. We're going to open shops in those places anyway, and you'll be closer so that Ye's grandfather can come back whenever he misses you."

Ye Yifan and the four others discussed in a low voice for a while, and they all felt that this was feasible, so they agreed to Leng Yuyang's proposal.

"Okay, now that the brothers have decided..."

"Wait, Ran'er, there's me too. I want to..." Hua Zian had been completely ignored. He finally found a chance to speak and quickly expressed his opinion.

As soon as he spoke, Leng Youran and Leng Yuyang smiled at each other knowingly, then looked at him and teased, "Cousin, I think you should decide on your lifelong event first!"

Hua Zian, who usually never blushed, blushed instantly when she said that. He lowered his head silently and said nothing more.

Seeing that he was silent, Leng Youran continued, "Then let's divide it up properly now..."

"Wait." Hua Zian interrupted her again.

Leng Youran stopped, put her hands on her chin and looked at him.

Hua Zian scratched his head, "Well, Ran'er, this time I'm not talking about me. I want to talk about Chong'er. Chong'er is grown up now, and now he has been studying with the old man and others. I was thinking about whether Yuning could take him out to see the world this time. The child has been shutting himself in his own world all these years. Apart from his studies, he doesn't seem to care about anything else, and he..." In fact, Chong'er was also the reason why he wanted to go out.

Although he didn't say anything over the years, they all knew that the child was precocious and kept many things in his heart.

Leng Youran thought of Chong'er when he said that. In fact, it was not her fault that she couldn't remember him. That kid had really made himself a transparent person in the past few years. When he occasionally saw her, he was not as clingy to her as when they were children.
