Chapter 2 Starting from Scratch
In the early morning, the crystal dew hanging among the green leaves and grass swayed in the wind, and a horse-drawn carriage galloped by, carrying off the sand and rocks, and finally the carriage stopped in a remote country town.
After a night's drive, Feng Xiaoyue's body was really tired, but when she got off the carriage and saw the vast sky and the blue mountains, the hard work of the carriage and horses suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Feng Xiaoyue pondered why Li Wangfu regarded her as a ghost, and who had sent her to such a remote place, and who was the poisoner of her previous death.
All the way, some memories of the original owner's previous life will appear in front of her eyes from time to time, she vaguely remembers that the original owner was poisoned to death, so who did this poison come from?
"Princess Shizi, this is your future residence, it is a little remote, but all the items are complete, if you need anything, just ask."
The accompanying grandmother's tone was respectful, even if she was the princess who was kicked out of the palace, but in the end, it was given by the emperor, and her identity was also there, so she naturally didn't dare to make a mistake.
Feng Xiaoyue smiled indifferently, and looked at the house by herself, although it was not as luxurious as the palace, the small courtyard with three entrances and three exits was also simple and elegant.
On the side, Rong's mother didn't feel good in her heart, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Although this place is good, it is too remote, and this is too wronged Miss." ”
"Yes, where has Miss been wronged like this?" Xiao Yu, who served by Feng Xiaoyue's side, also echoed.
Xiaoyu is Feng Xiaoyue's personal maidservant, Rong's mother is Feng Xiaoyue's nurse, and there are only two of them in this world who can make Feng Xiaoyue feel at ease.
"It doesn't matter."
For Feng Xiaoyue, there is no difference between the distance and the distance where she lives, that little prince can't hide from her, and she doesn't want to see him.
Seeing that Feng Xiaoyue had no opinion, the grandmother also smiled and said, "The princess is generous, if there is no command, the old slave will retire first." ”
The chariots and horses were dusty, leaving only the countryside lonely.
Feng Xiaoyue is still calm, in her previous life, she was dominant in the business world, and she was calm and calm in any situation, "Xiaoyu, you go and find the housekeeper." ”
The wedding servants who followed Feng Xiaoyue thought that when they arrived at such a wild realm, the eldest lady could not be aggrieved and complained, but they never thought that she would be so calm and composed.
The housekeeper who came with Xiao Yu was a somewhat old man, but although he was older, he was also in good spirits.
"I don't know what the princess commands?"
Seeing that Tan Tu is a respectful person, Feng Xiaoyue said: "There is no need for the title of princess, the name is not worthy of the name, just follow Xiao Yu to call me the eldest lady, I called you here to ask you something." ”
Steward Zhou bowed deeply and said, "The old slave must know everything. ”
"There's anyone else in the house."
"This house has been uninhabited for a long time, and it has always been taken care of by the old slave and a few subordinates, and the young lady is still the first master of this house."
Feng Xiaoyue pondered for a moment, as long as there was no one else in this house to monitor her, it didn't matter if it was deserted or not.
"Is there a shop in town?"
"Miss Hui, although this town is a little remote, there are a lot of people, as for the shop, there is only one under your name, but there are still more than a dozen acres of land behind the house, which has been empty."
Earth?
"Take me to see it." Feng Xiaoyue was quite surprised that Li Wangfu would leave her a field.
However, when she saw the fields, she already knew in her heart that they were all dry land, and there was no living rice, and there was no aqueduct, so sure enough, Li Wangfu would not be so kind.
It was already noon when she returned to the inner house, and the dowry entourage was ordered to collect their luggage, while Feng Xiaoyue sat on the rattan chair in the courtyard in a calm and leisurely manner, thinking about it.
"Miss, everything here is not as good as in the house, otherwise let's go back, you can only suffer here." Rong's mother spoke in a pitying tone, and as she spoke, she handed the cold fruit in her hand to Feng Xiaoyue.
The banyan trees are luxuriant, the sun can't penetrate the clusters of thick green, the breeze blows, and the sound of the leaves rustling is extremely pleasant.
Feng Xiaoyue ate the cold fruit and said softly: "This is a marriage contract given by the emperor, and if I go back, it will be disobeying." ”
Xiao Yu on the side said indignantly: "Since it is an edict, they are resisting the decree and not complying with it, it is better for us to go back to Beijing and sue the emperor, and the emperor will rule in person." ”
Listening to Xiaoyu's "high opinion", Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but smile, "Go back?" Our every move here King Li is clear, if we move back to Beijing to complain, I'm afraid we will be stopped halfway, after all, King Li is my nominal father-in-law, I don't want to offend him. ”
Rong's mother looked sad and said, "It's good that the old man is rich in the world, and he spoils you so much, is it possible that there is no way at all?" ”
Feng Xiaoyue was silent, in the memory of the original owner, she was indeed the palm pet of the Feng family, and the Feng family's financial resources should not be underestimated, but even if she was worth a thousand gold, she could not compare to the courtiers who held real power in their hands.
King Li is a real courtier, and the value of the Feng family is not more than Erer in his eyes, plus this unbridled marriage, which must make the little prince very uncomfortable, so he sent her far away.
But she didn't care, she was farther away from King Li's mansion, but freer.
"Instead of complaining here, it's better to think about the way out in the future." Feng Xiaoyue didn't care about her situation at all, she could live there, and she didn't need to enjoy the fine clothes and food.
This attitude made the people around Feng Xiaoyue a little surprised, I thought that my young lady was raised in the deep boudoir, and in the face of such a humiliating situation, she must have cried, but the result was unexpected, and her calm and calm judgment was impressive.
……
In the evening, Feng Xiaoyue sat in the room for dinner, and Guishan asked to see her at the door.
Feng Xiaoyue raised her eyes and said slowly, "How is the inquiry?" ”
"Miss Hui, although there are not as many people in this town as in the capital, there are a lot of them, and the servants inquired, this place is biased, there are no squires and magnates, and no one can compare to us in terms of decency."
Feng Xiaoyue frowned slightly, put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, and her tone was slightly dissatisfied: "Who wants to ask you if you are decent or not, I mean doing business." ”
Whether in the present world or in ancient times, nothing is more important than money, she will not expect Li Wangfu to help her for a lifetime, out of Li Wangfu, there is nothing between them, but the people in this courtyard are not living in vain, and they have to be paid.
"The slave is stupid, I inquired, there are not many people in this town who do business in business, most of them are farmers, but they all grow imperial grain and supply it every year, and everything else is nothing special, but... ”
At this point, Guishan paused slightly, and continued: "When the slave came back, he noticed that there were many refugees fleeing the famine on the side of the street, I inquired, these are all from the north of the mountain, and the nearby towns are strictly inspected, they can only come here to take refuge if they can't enter, and you should be more careful when you go out, Miss." ”
Refugee?
Feng Xiaoyue's heart moved, and there was still a slightly salty and sweet feeling of osmanthus duck between her mouths, and she pondered for a long time, and then said: "Tomorrow, you take someone to a nearby town to buy some dryland seeds, there must be sweet potatoes and loofahs, and then go to Duozhixuan to buy some medicinal seeds, the rarer and rarer, the better." ”
Although he was deeply confused, Gui Shan had never dared to ask, not to mention that after this wedding banquet, Feng Xiaoyue's heart became more elusive.
