Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 106 Convincing Yun Xi to Stay

Yun Xi was so angry that her teeth were itching. The King of Jin and the current emperor really didn't treat the people as human beings.

In this case, they should not treat them as human beings in the future.

Humph, if the King of the South wants to rebel someday, she, Yun Xi, will definitely be the first to support him.

Of course, despite this, Yun Xi still didn't want civil unrest to happen. After all, no matter what, the ones who would suffer would always be the common people.

"So what's the situation now?" Yun Xi asked.

Ying Tianchen's mouth curled up slightly, "Aren't they pretending to be bandits? The Southern King sent people to suppress the bandits and wipe out all the bandits in Jiuyi Mountain."

Yun Xi's eyes widened, "All destroyed?"

"Well, anyway, those who pretended to be bandits were killed."

"how many people?"

"Four or five hundred people."

"Tsk tsk, they actually sent so many people just to deal with the helpless villagers in the villages down the mountain."

Ying Tianchen narrowed his eyes. Yes, just to find something to hold against him, they actually sent out so many soldiers to deal with the civilians.

"Will they come again in the future?" Yun Xi asked.

"Don't be afraid. The King of the South has already taken precautions. He will send an army to guard the foot of Mount Jiuyi and will not allow them to have the opportunity to harm the people again."

Yun Xi nodded, thinking that the King of the South was a good prince.

Suddenly, she realized a question. What was the identity of this beautiful boy? Why did he know so much about the affairs of the Southern King and the Jin King? Was he really just an official in the prefecture?

She looked at the beautiful boy in front of her with curiosity. Because the topic they were talking about was very sensitive and they kept their voices very low, they were so close to each other without realizing it. She could even clearly see the fuzz on the boy's face.

"How do you know so much?"

Ying Tianchen met her puzzled look, looked away guiltily, and suddenly realized that they were very close, so he pulled back a little. He calmed his pounding heart and coughed lightly.

"Well, actually I am from the Nanwang Mansion, and I am a first-class guard beside the Nanwang. This time I was ordered by the Nanwang to lead people to suppress the bandits."

Yun Xi suddenly realized, "I see, that's how it is. I was wondering how you knew so much. And those soldiers at the city gate were so respectful to you. It turns out that you are from the Southern Palace. They definitely wouldn't dare to offend you."

After saying this, she realized another problem, "You told me all about your prince, aren't you afraid of your prince's punishment?"

Ying Tianchen shook his head. "It's okay. Miss Yun, you are considered victims of this incident, and you are also one of us. What's more, your people went to Mount Jiuyi with us. Even if we don't tell them, they will tell Miss Yun."

Yun Xi thought about it and realized that this made sense. They also knew that they couldn't hide it from her, so she just told them everything generously.

"By the way, Miss Yun, have you really decided to go to Hepu County? Why not go directly to Cangwu County?"

Yun Xi hesitated. If it were before, she would have vowed to go to Hepu County, which was close to the sea. But now, after just one day's journey, she wanted to go back home. It would take twice as long to go to Hepu County. Just thinking about it made her legs sore and her buttocks ache.

"Can you consider Cangwu County? Where will we settle down there?"

Seeing her relent, Ying Tianchen's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, Miss Yun. Whether you go to Cangwu County or Hepu County, we will find a place to settle you down. And the prince already knows that your entire family moved because of the bandit incident, so he ordered me to escort you all the way until you are settled."

Yun Xi was surprised, King Nan was so nice?

"Really?"

"It's true."

Yun Xi thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a place in the city to accommodate so many of us?"

Ying Tianchen answered truthfully, "You guys aren't that many, so there are certainly places to stay, but there's nothing near the beach like Miss Yun wants."

Yun Xi waved her hand, "Well, you don't need to consider this for now. As long as it's close to the city, has good folk customs, and can give everyone land, it's fine."

Ying Tianchen said, "The villages around the city are all pretty good. If you don't want to live in the same village as the locals, there's a farm for sale in the western suburbs. There are only a hundred of you, so it's more than enough for you to stay. Anyway, you're going to Hepu County to buy someone else's farm, and the same goes for Cangwu County."

Yun Xi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. If there really was such a farm, it would be fine if only their clansmen and villagers would be there.

"How much is the village?"

Ying Tianchen thought that if the market price was really followed, the manor would be worth at least tens of thousands of taels. Not to mention the 180 mu of fertile land, which was worth thousands of taels, even the seven or eight large courtyards were worth seven or eight thousand taels.

He said, "The price is not low. The other party asked for 6000 taels."

He thought that Penglai had given her six or seven thousand taels of silver when he came to the teahouse before, so she would definitely be able to come up with the money.

Even if she doesn’t have it, it’s okay. Zhuangzi can just give it to her.

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "Can we go take a look at the manor first? If possible, we can buy it directly."

In order to avoid her suspicion, Ying Tianchen did not say anything definite. "We have to wait until we return to the capital to see the situation. The farm is good, and I don't know if anyone has bought it in the past few days. If no one buys it, then there is no problem."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi prayed silently in her heart that it had not been sold yet. She patted the boy's shoulder and promised,

"Master Chen, if that farm is really good and I buy it, I will definitely give you a big red envelope so that you don't work in vain."

This is all about human relationships and social skills. If you paint a big pie in the sky first, people will pay more attention to their work and be more efficient when they see that there are benefits to be gained.

Ying Tianchen's whole body stiffened after being slapped, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat as he felt the touch on his shoulder.

He swallowed hard and said incoherently, "Thank you, thank you. No, no. Okay, okay."

Yun Xi looked at him strangely. Why did he suddenly stutter?

What else does this mean?

Should I say thank you, or no thanks, or okay?

Forget it, I don't want to.

Most likely they wanted a red envelope, but after saying it out loud, they felt bad about it and said no. But after saying no, they regretted it and still felt that they couldn't help for free without a red envelope, so they said yes.

Alas, little boy, you have too many worries.

"Okay, if it really comes to fruition, the red seal is what you deserve. You don't have to be embarrassed."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Master Chen, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. I need to rest early because I have to travel tomorrow."

Ying Tianchen blushed and walked the person out the door.

After the person walked away, he subconsciously placed his hand on his shoulder, rubbing the place where Yun Xi had just patted him.

The corners of his mouth were raised high and he couldn't suppress them.
