"Granddad, your family loves me the most!" Mu Rousang very shamelessly flattered her.
"Miss, please don't say that. This is human nature. This old servant knows that Miss misses Young Master. As the saying goes, it's been three years since we last met. Young Lady hasn't seen Young Master in a while."
"Granddad!" Mu Rousang's face immediately flushed red, she stomped her little feet and picked up her skirt, then turned and walked into the Hanging Flower Sect.
The old man was disrespectful. He stroked his white beard and muttered to himself, "Our young lady has grown up!"
None of the servants dared to disobey Mu Rousang's orders, and they immediately took off their things gently, leaving behind a horse less horse carriage at home, and a drowsy snoring sound.
Yang Zixuan woke up from the noise. He rubbed his eyes and asked lazily: "Xiao Tong, why aren't you here yet?"
In desperation, he lazily sat up and shook his dizzy head. He yawned, stretched his legs and kicked Xiao Tong, who was sleeping at the side.
"Get up, let's go outside to take a look!"
After pushing him with his foot for a few times, Xiao Tong finally woke up from his dream.
"Ah, Young Master!" Xiao Tong felt that his mouth was a little wet. He reached out to touch it. What a huge mouthful of saliva.
He said disdainfully, "The car has stopped. Let's go out and see what's going on!" Yang Zixuan heard the voice getting closer and closer, almost like it was Mu Jinzhi's voice.
Xiao Tong immediately lifted the curtain and was shocked: "Ah! The horse is gone! " He then looked around and said with a smile, "Young master, we're home!"
It was just that the horse and coachman had disappeared and the gate was wide open. When the gatekeeper heard that there was movement outside, he hurriedly ran out and smiled: "My lady saw that Young Master was sleeping soundly and did not want to wake up, so she called for people to bring in the other things first."
Xiao Tong immediately said, "Ah, why didn't you wake up!" He hurriedly turned around and replied Yang Zixuan.
He stretched lazily on the soft pillow and smiled. "Your young mistress despised us both, so she threw us outside the door. Let's go, get out of the car!"
Just as he jumped down from the carriage, Mu Jinzhi and Zuo Ren walked up from the hillside, and saw a person walking out from the carriage. He was shocked, but when he focused his eyes, he was immediately overjoyed as he pulled Zuo Ren Xian along and rushed forward, excitedly asking: "Big brother Yang, why are you back so early, isn't it autumn harvest time already?"
Yang Zixuan walked up to him, put his arms around his shoulders and punched him on the chest, then laughed: "You brat, you've grown strong again, how did you two get tanned too?"
Mu Jinzhi was very happy to see him back, and said: "We are still busy with the matters of the foundation, all the limestone in the streets have already been laid, and the foundation is already completed, we can only wait to build a house there."
The Mu Clan took up a large part of the business as a result of their own efforts. They used the flagstones sold on the streets to pay for it, but later on, they would hand over the maintenance to the village.
"Great! I just happened to be back from the Western Regions with a lot of specialties. At that time, I will open a shop next to the tavern and specialize in selling the specialties of the Western Regions." Yang Zixuan laughed, and it had to be said that they were not family. On this point, Yang Zixuan and Mu Rousang were extremely similar.
Zuo Ren Xian's heart was filled with thousands of bugs. He wished that this shop and yard could be built quickly, and that he could have two more properties under his name.
"Big brother Yang, how come you're back so quickly? Could it be that you are unwilling to part with our little cousin! "
Yang Zixuan sneaked a peek at Mu Jinzhi, and saw that he was listening intently, so he laughed: "Little brother, you really are a worm in my stomach! I really came back in a hurry this time. "
asked: "Didn't you say when you left that you wanted to sell some things?"
"That's right! When I was last year, I told those merchants that we would deliver all the new goods in the spring. They had already sent people to wait at the border of the Western Regions, and only waited for my caravan to arrive and check on the goods. "
Yang Zixuan was a shrewd businessman, the reason he wanted to bring the caravan was because one of them was buying goods from a large number of people, which was cheaper than any other merchants by three levels, and the other two, which was even cheaper than the others.
"Let's not talk about all this now, I've even brought some stuff from the Western Regions for you two, I'm sure you two will like it. But there's one thing that I've heard on the way back, and it's even sent a message from my old man, telling me not to return to the capital yet."
Mu Jinzhi had no choice but to tell him everything that had happened in the past half a year, and said: "You left for a few months at a time, and now, we are trapped here and can't move at all."
Yang Zixuan thought for a moment, looked at Zuo Ren, then gave Mu Jinzhi a look, and said: "The crown prince has been in the throne for many years, how could he be so easily subordinate? I'm afraid the Emperor is truly angry now, and that someone dares to scheme against the crown prince right under his nose."
"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Zuo Ren Xian felt a sense of freshness.
Yang Zixuan said, "The crown prince lost his mother when he was young, and was raised by the current emperor himself. Furthermore, he has been the crown prince for many years, and this is all thanks to the guidance of the emperor. If there's anything wrong with the crown prince, wouldn't it be..."
Yang Zixuan's brows furrowed, and said: "That's why, the current Emperor is in charge of planning, he has everything under his control, don't think that the Emperor is old enough, and will..."
The other two immediately understood. Mu Jinzhi had already reached the main courtyard, and laughed: "Big brother Yang, being able to return home safely is a joyous event, I will have to drink a few more bottles today."
Zuo Ren Xian waved his fan and said, "Of course, big brother Yang, little cousin said that you will bring the wine from the Western Regions with you this time!" As he spoke, he used his little eyes to poke at Yang Zixuan. He heard that the taste of the beautiful wine in the Western Regions was different from the Central Plains.
Yang Zixuan immediately understood, and laughed: "Of course I'm asking you two to stay sober, I brought over a few pots, I left them for you two to drink, my uncle and your family sent a few pots over, I'm sure your father would be happy."
He opened his mouth wide, and only after a long while did the man on the left come back to his senses. He said with a wry smile, "I forgot to tell you, my father is a good person, but my mother has strict control over it. I'm afraid that my father has not even tasted half of the wine you sent to our house."
"I didn't know that." Yang Zixuan did not expect that the person concerned would not even be able to enjoy the good wine he gifted to her.
In desperation, Zuo Ren Xian had no choice but to tell them about Zuo Renyou's drunken stupor in the imperial flower garden, and said in embarrassment: "Big brother Yang, you can give me some wine next time, but at the same time leave behind one or two pots, so that my father can have a taste first."
"Young masters, the food has been prepared. Also, future young master, our lady has already ordered someone to arrange the things you brought and put them in a guest room on the east side."
It turned out that when Mu Rousang heard Yang Zixuan and the others' voices, she sent Chun Yan out to report.
Yang Zixuan heard and said, "Chun Yun, what did your young lady say? Those things were originally brought over for your young lady to eat. Quickly, don't say it anymore, tell the others to quickly bring them to your young lady's room."
I say, big brother Yang, what exactly did you bring to our little cousin? I wanted to get someone to send it over, but I didn't want to show it to us. " The people from the Zuo Clan could not bear to see their only little cousin flying to another place to settle down, and now they were making things difficult for Yang Zixuan.
Yang Zixuan, however, was not afraid. He had originally bought a lot of things with great effort, and after hearing what Zuo Ren Xian had said, he could easily tell his two uncles not to look down on him.
"Young Master Yun, you and Xiao Tong are still sleeping soundly, how would my family's young lady know what's inside the box? Why would she go and rummage through it so casually?"
Yang Zixuan then realised that he had taken it for granted. The two of them had not become husband and wife yet, and if Mu Rousang opened the door without his permission, she would be uncultured, and it would not be done by a girl from a noble family.
"It's me who did not think of Zhou Quan, Xiao Tong!" he called after him.
Xiao Tong was anxiously looking at the door, who knew that the one who came out was not the one he liked, but the leader of the four, Chun Rong, who was feeling a little listless. Upon hearing Yang Zixuan call him, he immediately mustered his strength and ran over to him: "Young Master, this servant has asked someone to bring him out."
"Young master, everything has been brought out. Aside from a few jars of fine wine, everything that was given to young lady is here."
Yang Zixuan indicated for him to take out the key to open the box. Xiao Tong and the others quickly rushed to open the boxes in the courtyard.
Mu Jinzhi was his brother-in-law, he could not do things that easily, so he gave a meaningful glance to Zuo Ren Xian. After getting the hint, he smiled as he walked over to the box and sized him up, then said: "Oh, there are really quite a few things."
The first one was a box filled with expensive herbs such as Winter Insect Summer Grass, Tianshan Snow Lotus, and the second one contained exotic jewelry. It was different from the exquisite jewelry of the Central Plains, adding a lot of heroism and generosity. The top of the box was decorated with pine stones, red corals, cat's-eye stones, and agate.
The third cage was made of sheepskin, and the last few boxes were filled with chamois, yak, red fox, sable and even a leopard skin.
Yang Zixuan said with some regret: "Unfortunately, they went to the Western Regions, where snow fox skin is rarely seen. We can only wait for the caravan to clear the way to the Northern Lands in the future, then we can get more good stuff for Xiao Sangsang to use."
