Start in exile and use the space to pamper the yandere regent.

After coming out of the Herbal Hall, Xu Yixuan and her party went straight to the nearest Chen Ji Rice Shop. The variety of grains sold in Mipu is quite complete. In addition to rice, the main ones are corn, millet and corn. In addition, various grains are also sold.

Xu Yixuan discussed with Tao Wan'er and Tao Bo and decided that they would only need a handful of corn flour, three pounds of soybeans and a small bag of cabbage seeds. This second crop of corn flour is not as fine as the corn flour ground from the first crop. The most important thing is that the price is affordable, and it is not too rough to get stuck in the throat and is not used to eating.

Xu Yixuan planned to grind the soybeans back into soy milk. After all, they were the best plant protein and would add some nutrients.

One handful of corn flour is equivalent to five buckets and sixty kilograms. Tao Boli easily carried half of it on his back, and Xu Yixuan carried away twenty kilograms. Xu Yixuan was originally a little worried about the remaining ones, but she didn't want Tao Wan'er to carry the bamboo-backed basket and still walk as fast as flying.

As expected, he was born in a general family, which is much more interesting than those boudoir daughters in the capital who never leave or step outside the door.

Later, when passing by the grocery store, I added some coarse salt, a few pieces of half-old felt sheets were returned to protect me from the wind and rain, and a pack of dry and hard light biscuits were used to withstand hunger... In the end, all the remaining coins were exchanged for Made of sturdy homespun cloth.

Tao Wan'er sold the only brand-new embroidered handkerchief she had on her body to the proprietress of the cloth shop, and then replaced it with a few pieces of soft cotton cloth, planning to sew replacement robes for the whole family.

Xu Yixuan relied on her sharp tongue to successfully get the landlady to sell the two large bags of rags piled in the corner to her at a discount of three copper coins. These rags can later be made into shoe mats, silk purses, etc. After all, I need to be on the road during the day.

By the time Xu Yixuan and the other two people had roughly bought all the necessities and hurriedly returned to the outside of the city, it was less than half a stick of incense before the stipulated time.

When they separated, Xu Yixuan pulled Tao Wan'er and quickly stuffed a pine nut candy into Tao Wan'er's mouth with the help of her body.

"Second sister-in-law..."

"Shh." Xu Yixuan made a "silence" gesture and said with a smile, "Looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to change. My father and mother, sister Lao Wan'er, should take more care of me."

After that, Xu Yixuan stuffed the remaining half pack of pine nut candies into Tao Wan'er's hand, turned around and left.

"Ah." Tao Wan'er was a little stunned. After vaguely guessing the hidden meaning of his second sister-in-law's words, she murmured softly, "Uncle Tao, my second brother is very lucky."

Tao Bo, who was at the side, still had a kind-hearted look on his face, and without even moving an eyelid, he agreed in a kind-hearted manner: "That's what the Fifth Miss said."

Tao Wan'er carefully hid the bag of pine nut candies that still contained body temperature, and then walked quickly towards the place where Zhen Guo Gong and his wife, as well as Tao Jinyan, were resting.

It didn't take long for Xu Yixuan, who returned to the end of the team and met Tao Jinyu, to inevitably interact happily with Sister Shu and her brother. Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quickly packed the long rice bags containing corn flour at the rice shop in advance and gave them to Mrs. Tao Wang and Aunt Fang. Not much, only five kilograms per person, covered with a coat and carried on their backs.

Including gourds and cowhide water bags filled with clean water, as well as coarse salt and light cakes, they were also divided into several portions in advance. Mrs. Tao Wang and Aunt Fang were obviously not stupid. After looking at each other, they took the initiative to help Xu Yixuan pack up the belongings in her hands.

As for the person who had been following Xu Yixuan the whole time, he was half-kneeling in front of Xiao Jinren and described what he saw in detail.

"Brother Chengen, you said that one hundred thousand taels of gold..." Xiao Jinren picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup at hand, lowered his head and took a sip of the so-called Mingqian Longjing in the tea cup, with a look of disgust on his face.

"I do feel that the one hundred thousand taels of gold may have been quietly stolen from the beginning." Bai Qi, whose name is Cheng'en, quickly stuffed a piece of roasted pigeon into his mouth, blinked a few times and swallowed. After getting off, he unhurriedly put forward some of his opinions, "Isn't there news that a lot of property has been stolen from Xu Cifu's mansion in the past few days?"

For several days in a row, Mr. Liang Shang came to visit, but there was no explanation for the stolen property. I even heard that there were several boxes of valuable antique calligraphy and paintings. Is this a joke?

"What do you mean, let it go for now?" Obviously, Xiao Jinren was not willing.

"Master Xiao, I heard that the relationship between the eldest lady of the Xu family and Xu Cifu, and of course the second lady who was born as a concubine, is not very good. Before, the second lady had someone send a car that had been tampered with. Good stuff." Bai Qi seemed to remind him kindly.

Xiao Jinren sneered: "It's a pity that I couldn't take advantage of the opportunity..."

What exactly Xiao Jinren regrets? The answer is obvious. But Xiao Jinren listened to Bai Qi's reminder to some extent. In the days that followed, Xiao Jinren indeed did not send anyone to keep an eye on Xu Yixuan, but it was obviously impossible to say that she was not causing trouble secretly.
