Two days later, the new prefect who came to replace prefect Lan arrived in Licheng.
The Lan Mansion completed the final relocation, and Lan Yingwu hired several large carriages.
Ye Gu, Ye Huangyu, and members of the Ye family all came to see Ye Lingyue off.
"Grandpa, mother, everyone, go back." Ye Lingyue got on the carriage, looked at the people in Licheng and Ye's family, who gradually moved away behind them, until they couldn't see clearly at all.
Her mood was both sad and excited, and she knew that there was a brand new road waiting for her ahead.
Fourteen years ago, when she was still a baby in swaddling clothes, it was the same road. Ye Huangyu was carried in a simple carriage and returned to the Ye family with endless shame and pain.
Fourteen years ago, she was alone without the company of her mother, but this time, she came for revenge.
Hong Mansion, Hong Fang, Zhuge Rou, she Ye Lingyue will definitely turn the entire Hong Mansion upside down.
Licheng is thousands of miles away from Xiadu. Ye Lingyue and the people from Lanfu took a carriage and changed the waterway several times on the way. Finally, half a month later, they arrived in Xiadu with bumps.
Xiadu is the imperial capital of Great Xia, a famous city with a history of thousands of years.
The carriage of the Lan Mansion drove not far outside the city, and Ye Lingyue saw a majestic city gate appearing in front of it, and Daxia officers and soldiers wearing heavy helmets were patrolling the top of the city.
"Xia Du, I, Lan Caier, said that I will definitely come back!" After sitting in the carriage for several days, Lan Caier's bones were about to be knocked apart. Jumped down and stretched.
When the Lan family left Xiadu last time, everyone in Xiadu thought that this time the Lan family would never have a chance to rise again.
Who would have known that Lan Yingwu would break through the realm of reincarnation in a small place like Licheng, and be reused by the court again.
"Madam, take the two girls back to the general's mansion in the north of the city first, and I will report to the court first." Lan Yingwu got off the carriage, changed into his armor, and rode to the palace.
Mrs. Lan took several family members and went straight to the General's Mansion with a carriage.
When the Lan family's carriage passed the city gate, it didn't take long to see several Fang cranes of different colors flying towards different directions in the city.
"Lan Yingwu has returned to Beijing?"
In several mansions located in different directions of Xiadu, several nobles received the news.
"Go and send someone to keep an eye on the General's Mansion and Marquis Wu, and report back immediately if there is any disturbance."
Because of Lan Yingwu's return to Beijing this time, the struggle between nobles and civilians that seemed to have calmed down once again kicked off.
The general's mansion that Mrs. Lan went to was the mansion where Lan Yingwu was before he was dispatched. There were still many old servants in the mansion.
After getting off the carriage, the general's wife pulled Ye Lingyue past her and introduced them to the old servants.
"This is my long-lost daughter, who I found when my lord and I were in Licheng. From now on, she will be the second lady of the General's Mansion. You need to serve the second lady as well as you serve Cai'er. Do you understand?"
Second Miss
Those old servants in the general's mansion were wondering, but after going to Licheng for more than a year, why there is an extra second lady.
Look at this second lady again, her eyes are as clear as water, her skin is white jade, standing beside the madam, she is slim and tall, she is completely different from the eldest lady Lan Caier, if Lan Caier is more like General Lan, then this second lady , looks more like a madam in terms of temper and appearance.
"Second Miss." All the servants of the Lan Mansion shouted in unison.
Since then, everyone in the Lan Mansion has known that after the General's Mansion, there will be two young ladies.
Ye Lingyue gave everyone a reward of 100 Wen, and those servants also praised Second Miss as clever.
That night, after Lan Yingwu returned home, the family of four ate He Meimei's first meal after returning to Xiadu.
In the early morning of the second day, Lan Yingwu went to court and hadn't come back yet, Madam Lan called Ye Lingyue and Lan Caier over.
Due to the extra population in the mansion, the general's wife had to clear out an additional courtyard for Ye Lingyue to live in. These few days, Ye Lingyue was still sleeping in Lan Cai'er's courtyard.
"Cai'er, there are old slaves in the mansion. Go to the market with Ling Yue. If you see clever servants and maidservants, buy some." The general's wife called Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai'er, and handed them over to the market. They were given five hundred taels of silver notes.
When Ye Lingyue was in Ye Mansion, she was not favored in the early days, and there were not many maidservants.
Later, when she moved into Qiaochu Courtyard, she was not unwilling to order her servants around, so this time, when she moved to Xiadu, Ye Lingyue came here alone, and the only people accompanying her were Xiao Zhiyo and Da Huang. Pets.
Mrs. Lan has also noticed this, Ye Lingyue's identity is different from before now, she is the second lady of the general's mansion, she must have a few personal maids and servants to be decent.
The general's wife is very thoughtful, Lan Cai'er has something, she will not miss anything, and she has to prepare for Ye Lingyue.
After a while, Mrs. Lan plans to take Ye Lingyue to attend various formal occasions, so that she can gradually integrate into Xiadu's life.
Lan Caier promised, she hadn't walked around in Xiadu for a long time, she was a lively person, so she took Ye Lingyue out.
Lan Caier and Ye Lingyue made their way out of the General's Mansion, and Lan Caier took Ye Lingyue around several main streets of Xiadu, and finally took her to the slave market.
In Daxia, free people and slaves can be bought and sold in the market.
This is Ye Lingyue's first visit to a place like the slave market.
The market was bustling with people, among them were the butlers of the big and powerful families who were in charge, and some who couldn't afford to raise their children came out to sell their children.
In the slave market, living people were treated like animals and sold at bargain prices. Ye Lingyue had never encountered such a thing.
"Xiadu is like this. There are people from all schools and schools. In Xiadu, power and strength are everything. After you stay here for a long time, you will get used to it." Lan Caier explained to Ye Lingyue.
The two walked around the slave market, but Lan Caier didn't see anyone she liked.
Just then, they heard the sound of gongs and drums ahead.
At the entrance of the slave market, people come and go, and there have always been many down-and-out warriors setting up stalls at the street.
It's just that the one who beat the gong today was a big man in ragged clothes and unkempt hair.
The big man waited until the people nearby had gathered, and took out a sign with a few words written on it.
"Ten coins for one fist, one tael of silver for any blow."
This is a poor man who makes a living by "beating" on the street.
Lan Cai'er didn't like this kind of scene very much. She once saw a poor man who also made a living from being "beaten" on the street, and was beaten to death by a group of local ruffians.
This big man looks solid, but he has no strength, so he looks like an ordinary person.
In a place like the slave market, people would be beaten to death within a few strokes, and there was no one who could collect the corpse.
Lan Cai'er pulled Ye Lingyue and wanted to leave. She didn't want Ye Lingyue to encounter such an unlucky thing on the second day of his visit to Xiadu.
When Ye Lingyue turned around, she suddenly noticed that under the big man's long hair, those eyes... She stopped when she was about to leave.
