Chapter 199 Time Will Tell
When her father saw that she really didn't know, he wanted to take her home. Unfortunately, his mistress disagreed, saying that she was a jinx and that he would never be able to go home again, so she sold her directly to a brokerage firm.
Mulan (Li Mulan) and Yang Wenwen are from the same prefecture, Puyang in Qingzhou.
The Li family ran a general store in the north of the city. She was sold because she discovered that her stepmother was having an affair with her uncle.
Fearing she would let something slip, her stepmother and brother-in-law used the excuse of taking her to a temple fair to deliver her right to the noses of human traffickers.
They're all such unfortunate kids!
Jun Wenhui looked at them with great heartache, but still said with some concern, "Xiao Jin is Caiwei and Jingye's stepmother."
Grandma Jun knows that you were all harmed by your stepmothers, but Grandma Jun still wants to remind you not to bring this hatred into this family.
Most people in this world hate their stepmothers, but there are exceptions.
Your Aunt Jin was the one who was involved in the accident.
Grandma Jun wouldn't say much more; after all, everyone has a heart of flesh.
You have to experience it for yourselves and feel it with your hearts. Time will tell.
Grandma Jun doesn't want you to stay in this house for too long and develop jealousy and hatred, nor does she want you to take revenge on others for the injustices that have befallen you.
Each of you is a unique individual. As long as you guard your hearts, you will make unexpected discoveries over time.
“Our family and Aunt Yumei’s family are all unfortunate people who have been displaced due to family misfortunes.”
We were lucky to meet Aunt Jin; she took us in without looking down on us.
Therefore, we should not think about bad things, but rather be grateful.
We are fortunate to have such a comfortable life now because we met Aunt Jin.
"What do you think would have happened if we hadn't met her?"
Xia Lan stepped forward and said firmly, "I won't. I will try my best to forget the past, and I will not bring those bad things to Miss Caiwei."
Lily of the Valley: "Me too."
Mulan: "Me too."
Chunlan: "And me too."
Seeing the determination in their eyes, the group smiled.
And so, the group settled down at the Gu family's house.
Ruyi, lurking in the shadows, was also constantly observing their every move.
During the day, Dongfang Jin took Shen Qijun to the mountains to chop firewood and also picked some wild vegetables from the hot springs.
Gu Yumei and Jun Wenhui made clothes for the children, Jun Qirui taught them for half a day, and in the afternoon Jun Qixian took the children to cook the dishes at home.
As it was getting dark, Ma Wencai and his four companions arrived at the Gu family's residence.
The five of them rode in a horse-drawn carriage, followed by several donkey carts, and then a dozen or so oxcarts.
The large group of people looked particularly impressive on this snow-covered road.
Dongfang Jin...
What's going on with this whole commotion?
Looking at the people getting out of the carriage, there were two maids, two old women, two pageboys, and two guards.
Fortunately, no one was following us in the shadows.
Dongfang Jin clearly saw Aunt Hui and Gu Yumei exhale a breath of stale air.
I chuckled to myself, thinking, "They're probably afraid they'll bring too many people, aren't they?"
After Ma Wencai got off the bus, he saw them and said that apart from the two oxcarts behind them, which were food rations given to them by their elders, there were other oxcarts.
The grain in those two oxcarts, one cart of meat, one cart of liquor, two carts of cloth, two carts of cotton, and one cart of porcelain (plates, bowls, basins, and vases) were all for Dongfang Jin's family.
The remaining donkey cart contained all the personal belongings of the five of them. As they led the others to help them move their things, the group discovered that the five had even brought their own pillows, blankets, and other bedding.
Dongfang Jin...
So rude?
Jun Wenhui...
Looks like I'll be staying here for a while.
Gu Yumei...
Luckily, I brought some food.
Jun Qirui...
You're really not being polite!
This means they intend to stay for an extended period!
Staring at them, the smile on his face seemed as sincere as dewdrops sprinkled on flower petals in the morning: "The five of you will sleep in one room, the pageboy and the guards in another, and the four of them in one room."
Seeing his expression, Fang Shiyu suppressed a laugh.
After Dongfang Jin saw the fox fight Jun Qirui, its expression was like a warm spring breeze, and it carried an air of politeness wherever it went.
Fang Shiyu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Yes, I will follow your instructions."
Dongfang Jin: You can't hit someone who's smiling at you, brilliant!
And so, the Gu family gained another bunch of people.
From that day on, the sound of reading aloud could always be heard coming from this house.
Since Ma Wencai and his four family members moved in, Sun Xing's two children and Lin Lizheng's grandson have also been checking in every day.
Sometimes I even stay here overnight.
……
Late that night
Dongfang Jin secretly left home again and used the teleportation array to plunder the mansions and properties of the people on the list.
After collecting them, they were delivered to Long Jiu and Eleven in the snow disaster area of Dongzhou using a teleportation array.
Meanwhile, good news from Dongzhou was arriving one after another on Emperor Shengde's desk.
Emperor Shengde was overjoyed after reading it and kept shouting "Good!"
Empress Helian Yun was happy for His Majesty, but deep in her eyes lay a profound sorrow.
……
That night, after Dongfang Jin finished collecting grain from Xingfa Granary in Jiaozhou, she teleported directly to Longhu Pass since Jiaozhou was relatively close to Yongzhou.
Standing at the military camp's encampment, watching the patrolling soldiers, Dongfang Jin gritted her teeth and said, "If I don't see that bastard Gu Chenglin today, I'm divorcing him."
Yes, she had searched the entire military camp recently but couldn't find Gu Chenglin, and she was starting to panic.
Ruyi spoke with her eyes closed in the space, "Jin-jie, we've been to all the military camps around here, but we haven't found any trace of your man. Don't you find that strange?"
Dongfang Jin, feeling the biting cold wind, tried to calm herself down; it was indeed strange.
The military overcoats that Gu Chenglin brought were worn by only a few people inside the main tent; none of the soldiers outside wore them.
There are quite a few of those, you should know.
"That's strange indeed, Ruyi. This time, pay close attention to what the soldiers are saying. Have we overlooked something?"
That's the only way she could think of it; otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy person just disappear?
Or is there something she overlooked?
【Hmm? Sister Jin, there really is! The man in the big tent just now said that a man named Helian Lü led a small group to Lancheng, the capital of the Xiongnu, and hasn't returned yet. Do you think your man went to Lancheng?】
Helian Lu? Gu Chenglin's boss?
Dongfang Jin asked uncertainly, "Really? Should we go take a look? Aren't there two Xiongnu families on the list?"
A prince and a nobleman, I'm going to strip their family bare, down to their last pair of underpants.
The Xiongnu region has many cattle, sheep, and horses.
Thinking of Long Er's words, Dongfang Jin made a plan in her mind. It's so cold here!
The cold wind was blowing so hard that there was sand inside; she didn't know how these people could endure it.
Long Jiu once said that the soldiers at Longhu Pass eat the fastest in the world.
At the time, she was curious as to why.
Do they eat as fast as soldiers in modern military camps?
Long Jiu said that if you eat a moment too late, there will be half a bowl of sand in your bowl.
At the time, she said that what Long Er said was exaggerated and she didn't believe it, but now it seems that what he said was not exaggerated at all.
Sometimes a sandstorm sweeps across the sky, and even with a mask on, she can still inhale some fine sand.
"Then shall we take their most formidable cavalry? Those are all fine horses."
[That's possible. As long as you give those horses some Five Elements Spring water, you won't even need to subdue them; they'll obey you immediately.]
Ruyi sounded even more excited than she was.
As the saying goes, "A horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth."
The little guy gets more excited than she does when he hears about robbery.
