After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

I don’t know how long it took, but Wei Xi finally came out from the backyard, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and nodded at Bai Qingyun.

"Master, walk slowly!"

Not long after the tavern owner sent the two people away, Bai Qingyun saw the tavern owner hurried out.

Wei Xi and Bai Qingyun were watching from a distance, and they knew in their hearts that this was an attempt to contact the Han family.

The Han family is a new noble family in the court, and is the power that the current emperor uses to balance the power between the poor and the aristocratic families. However, if they cultivate their own power along the way from the border to the capital, it will be a fatal blow in the eyes of both the emperor and the aristocratic families.

The emperor's grace is immense, and even his favor has its limits. After all, the world belongs to the Wei family, and the Han family already has an army of 100,000. If they are not satisfied and do these small moves in the Wei family's world, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, it would be an ignorant provocation to the imperial power.

Even if the Han family did this, it was a helpless move. It was impossible to feed 100,000 soldiers and horses relying solely on the court. During the march and battle, food, medicine, weapons, horses...all the big and small things in the military camp required silver.

Although His Majesty trusts the Han family, most of the requests for military funds and food are approved. However, this has a ripple effect, especially since the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue both have people from aristocratic families. His Majesty wants to approve the Han family's request, but if the Ministry of Revenue has no money, it will be difficult for a good cook to make a meal without rice!

The people of the aristocratic families and the Han family are sworn enemies, natural opponents, and they also compete with each other in the court. Naturally, they will not let go of any behavior that would trip up the Han family.

The capital city is a mixed bag, and every family is represented by their own information network. The brothels, gambling houses, post stations... even an inconspicuous grocery store in a small alley may be owned by someone who belongs to a high-ranking official in the court.

But these are open secrets, and everyone tacitly chooses not to talk about them.

Doesn't your Majesty know? Those who hold great power naturally know, but as long as these things don't come to their sight and don't shake their foundation, they can turn a blind eye.

But the Han family is different. The army in the hands of the Han family is the original sin.

Therefore, the power of the Han family has always been developed secretly. Even the Han family members themselves, except for a few people in charge, are unaware of the descendants of each branch.

Wei Xi was also about to go to the frontier. Only after her mother pulled her into the room and dismissed everyone around her did she learn about this.

Facts have proved that the imperial concubine's worries were not unnecessary, and the Han family's deployment over the years also provided help to Wei Xi, who was alone.

Wei Xi didn't need to know all those forces. He only needed to contact the key figures, and his subordinates would take care of the rest.

"Qingyun, the border is not far from Qujiang County. I believe that the news of my being here will appear on my uncle's desk tomorrow."

On the way back, Bai Qingyun could clearly sense that Wei Xi was not in a high mood.

"If we travel by horse, we can get here in three days at the earliest."

Considering the transmission of the news and the journey here, the days until Wei Xi left Qujiang County began to count down.

"The boss gave me a pot of wine. How about we go back and have a drink tonight?"

Wei Xi was holding the pot of wine. It was a little inconvenient for his small body to hold the pot, but with his martial arts foundation, he didn't have to exert much effort.

"Okay, the wine in that tavern tastes good, good wine goes well with good food. I'll go buy some snacks and we can eat and drink tonight!"

Not far from the wine shop is the market. The stalls on both sides sell various side dishes to go with wine. As there are no dining tables, passers-by buy the dishes directly to take home and it is also convenient to pack them up.

"I remember the braised meat you brought home before tasted great, perfect for drinking. Where did you buy it? Let's buy more this time!"

There are too many wild boars in the space, and Zhuzi hunts one every now and then. The chef robot can always make the most of every part of a pig.

Pork, pork ribs, pork tenderloin, pork skin, pig blood...

The large intestines and pork heads are braised directly in a large pot and divided into portions, making it easy to take out when you want to eat them.

During that period, Bai Qingyun would bring back braised meat every day. Wei Xi's previous meals were all exquisite and nutritious. This kind of offal would be considered incompatible with the royal status, and even people with lower officials would not choose to put them on the table.

Wei Xi had naturally never seen these things before, and they tasted both delicious and fresh.

Unlike the food in the palace, although the taste is not bad, the focus is on nutrition and the taste of the ingredients themselves is preserved. Also, because it takes a long time to get the food from the kitchen to the table, many times the food lacks the fresh flavor of the pot, and it becomes boring if you eat too much.

But how can we find the things in this space on this ordinary street?

"I bought a lot last time, and there's enough for the family. Why don't I not buy anything today?"

It is very difficult to keep things secret when you have things in your body that you cannot tell others. Many times, you have to tell lies to cover them up in order to explain.

But if you tell lies too frequently, it will really become a terrible habit. Bai Qingyun is tired of saying that he is an old immortal.

In response to Wei Xi's statement, Bai Qingyun could also say that it was something that a certain family or store made by chance and is no longer available for purchase, but she did not choose to do so. She fabricated characters and events out of thin air and weaved more lies to justify her statement, which was not what Bai Qingyun liked to do.

There are plenty of these things in the space. When the time comes, you can find an opportunity to take them out when you get home. There is no need to lie.

"Last time you said there was no more after we finished eating, it turns out you were lying to me!"

Wei Xi blinked at Bai Qingyun, as if to say, look, you actually lied to me, I'm such a simple person, how can you have the nerve to do that?

"Qinglan, everything should be done in moderation. Eating too much is not good!"

Who else is as "special" in eating as you are? If you can find something delicious, you can eat it three times a day for several days in a row without changing it!

There are so many delicious foods in the world, wouldn’t it be a shame?

"Then don't stop me tonight. Hand over all the braised meat you bought, or I won't let you drink my good wine!"

Although he talks about conditions with you on the surface, he is actually smiling from ear to ear in his heart!

Qingyun really cares about me!

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. There are also braised pig ears, which are perfect with wine. Especially the white cartilage in the middle, which is very chewy. I'll bring them back for you to try later!"

I have almost finished buying things. This place is far from home and it will take a while to walk back, so I don’t want to delay too long.

"Hey! Wait! There's a place selling candied haws over there~"

"No, here you go!"

Wei Xi quickly bought two strings of candied haws and handed one to Bai Qingyun.

"I saw you buy some every time you go home, so I guess you like it. Come and try it to see if it's sweet!"

Bai Qingyun saw it and smiled as he took a bite of one. The sugar-coated hawthorn burst in his mouth, with a hint of sweet and sour.

"sweet!"
