Chapter 27 Tsk, I'm still too kind
On the third day, Yuan Yi received a reply letter, one from the palace and the other from the prince.
After reading the letter, Yuanman smiled.
He handed the letter to Shang Congyang and said, "Give these two letters to the people who are providing disaster relief. Give them three days to bring the food, or else all nine generations of their clan will be killed."
The emperor's letter said that those who are greedy will be killed along with their entire nine clans.
Those people are really desperate enough. Even though they were under pressure from above to execute all nine generations of their clan, they still dared to be greedy.
He really values money over life.
Shang Congyang read the letter and jumped up excitedly.
He had been guessing the identity of Mr. Yuan, and now he finally knew: Marquis Leshan.
As soon as you hear this title, you know that he is a truly kind person.
But, Your Majesty, why would you confer the title of Marquis on a young girl? Shouldn’t it be the title of County Princess or Princess Ordinary?
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know that she is a girl?
If this is true, then it’s a serious matter. It’s a crime of deceiving the emperor!
No, the Marquis must know all this, which means she has a way to deal with it. I just need to keep it a secret for her.
After finishing these things, Yuan Man did not stay in Rongcheng any longer, but prepared to go back.
Originally, she planned to let Yuan Yi stay because she did not trust the imperial envoy sent by the emperor.
Finally, I thought about it and decided to give up. Even if the people sent by the emperor were watching me, wasn't it obviously a lack of respect for the emperor?
Manager Kong knew she was leaving, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Boss, that child doesn't want to follow me."
Yuan Man was stunned. She had not paid attention to the child's situation during this period. After all, everyone was eating from the same pot and there were so many people.
"okay, I get it."
Yuan Man thought about it and asked Manager Kong to find the child to see what he wanted to do.
After working with everyone for the past few days, the little boy's condition has improved a lot, but he still doesn't talk much. When asked questions, he just nods and shakes his head.
Yuan Man looked at him and asked, "You don't want Manager Kong to recognize you as your relative, but do you have your own ideas?"
"If you have any, bring it up and I'll try to help you as much as I can, as long as it's not excessive."
The little boy looked at her for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "I want to follow you."
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Follow me?"
"I have been traveling all over the country for many years, and I have no fixed place to live. Why do you want to follow me?"
"If you follow Manager Kong, you won't be enslaved, and you can take the imperial examinations in the future if you want."
The little boy shook his head, "I want to follow you."
"Then tell me, why do you want to follow me?" Yuan Man looked at him, his eyes clear and firm.
The little boy looked at her and paused before saying, "You are awesome. I want to learn from you."
Yuan Man only then realized that there was something wrong with his spelling. "How do you know I'm so powerful? I'm just an ordinary person running around."
"You're awesome." the little boy insisted.
Yuan Man waved his hand to let Manager Kong leave first. After Manager Kong left, he asked, "Let's talk about it openly."
The little boy was silent for a moment and said, "I saw it. Those two people listened to you."
"Besides, you're a good person, I think, so I'll follow you."
"My name is Guan Fanyun, I'm eight years old, and I'm from the Guan family in the south, a direct descendant."
Yuan Man shook her head when she heard this. She didn't know anything about the Nanfang Guan family.
Seeing that he didn't even know the Guan family in the south, Guan Fanyun couldn't help but hesitate.
"You, don't know, the Nanfang Guan family?"
Yuan Man shook his head and said, "Tell me more about it."
Guan Fanyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Guan family in the south is a noble family that has trained countless students."
"Yes, it's a large clan that has been around for hundreds of years."
"I am the eldest great-great-grandson of the direct descendant of the Guan family. I was taken out of the Guan family and abandoned there."
Yuanman understood, a victim of family competition.
"Did you have this stuttering problem all along, or did it develop later?"
Guan Fanyun's eyes darkened and he lowered his head. "It happened later."
Yuan Man nodded and said, "Then just relax. As long as you get out of the wall in your heart, this problem will naturally go away."
Guan Fanyun nodded, "Please, take me in."
"Do you want me to take you back to the Guan family?" Yuan Man looked at him and asked.
Guan Fanyun shook his head, "No, it's better to follow you."
Yuan Man secretly sighed, this kid is worthy of being from a noble family, he is so smart.
"You can follow me if you want, but the most I can do is to protect you. I can't do anything else for you."
"If you are still willing to follow me, I will have someone pick you up after I am done with my work."
Guan Fanyun nodded, "Okay."
Yuan Man asked Manager Kong to take care of the manor, and if he met anyone willing to join the manor as a householder, he would accept him at the original price.
Twenty thousand kilograms of grain were placed on the farm for Manager Kong to eat and use as a backup, and also to help him recruit farmers.
After confirming that everything was fine, Yuan Man left the farm and prepared to return to Mingzhou City.
Then she had to go to Qinhe Mountain to put the Hanging Palace away. It would be the headquarters of Jubao Tower in the future.
After everything is done, we will bring Granny Liu and the children over there. It will be safer than Mingzhou City. Of course, the only drawback is that there will be no neighbors.
[Ding, next check-in point, Dongyuan City.]
After hearing the system's prompt, Yuan Man immediately stopped his horse and took out the map to look at it.
Dongyuan City is in the northeast, about 300 miles east of Rongcheng.
The journey is a bit long.
This also means that she cannot return to Mingzhou City for the time being, because once she goes back and forth, the distance will more than double.
I haven’t seen Yuanbao for almost a month. I miss him.
In fact, with her current financial resources, she has accumulated more than three million taels, and she also has food, so she doesn't need to run around to sign in like this.
But once you have fallen into this pit, you have to fill it up. After all, everything comes too easily, and you always feel like you have to do something to justify everything you have gotten.
Tsk, I’m still too kind.
After Yuan Man sighed, he turned around and ran towards Dongyuan City.
The four secret guards looked at each other and immediately followed.
Although they felt that this master was very mysterious and capable, their deep-seated loyalty made them keep all their questions to themselves.
Gu family in Mingzhou City.
Mrs. Gu was overjoyed when she saw the two baskets of green sweet potato seedlings on the ground.
"Butler, give the driver ten taels of silver as a reward to thank him for bringing the sweet potato seedlings."
"Then send someone to call the manager of the farm. We need to plant the seeds as soon as possible."
Butler Gu immediately bowed and left.
Gu Cheng walked into the hall and was stunned when he saw the two baskets of green seedlings. "Mom, what are these?"
"Sweet potato sprouts, the ones I told you about before." Mrs. Gu took out the paper and started reading. It was full of content, but there was only one thing to pay attention to. Most of it was about how to eat sweet potatoes and sweet potato leaves.
Mrs. Gu became happier the more she looked at it.
Gu Cheng leaned over to take a look and immediately snatched the paper from her hand, "Mom, where did this come from?"
Mrs. Gu ignored him and took out a handful of sweet potato tips from a basket. "Fulu, take this to the kitchen and ask them to fry it for dinner tonight."
After Fu Lu took it, she glanced at Gu Chen before walking out.
