The Imperial Court gave them ten days to pack up.

In the past year or so, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao had a lot of new things in the house. Many of them were given to them by the villagers when they moved in. The sofa and table still looked brand new. But Bai Wutong’s space was only so big that it could not fit the items at all.

Bai Wutong touched the patterns on the tea table. A strong sense of reluctance filled her.

These were their precious memories. Unfortunately, the table and sofa were too big. Even if they had a carriage, it was not convenient to transport them all the way to the Southern Frontier.

Besides, Bai Wutong had already filled up three carts of things.

If these furniture were included, at least five more carriages would have to be filled. There was really no need for that. Moreover, they did not know how the road condition in the Southern Frontier were like. If it was not good, Bai Wutong still have to cut down on the three carts of items that she filled.

Putting away her disappointment, Bai Wutong entered the bedroom. The portrait on the wall was removed.

The familiar space seemed empty. Bai Wutong sighed and continued to pack the important things.

When Bai Wutong had more or less packed all these things, she opened the storeroom and saw the precious seeds stored in it. She estimated that it would take at least dozens of carriages to fit them in.

Woqian Town was only so big. There were not many extra carriages that they could use.

Just as Bai Wutong was about to look for Sheng Huaixuan and see if he could think of a way, a clamor came from a village again.

When Bai Wutong heard the sound, she walked out of the house and arrived at the entrance of Youjia Village with Qingfeng. She heard Village Chief Zhao say, “There are more than a hundred carriages in front, and they’re all blocking the few villages ahead.”

Just as she was feeling strange, Sheng Huaixuan walked over with Yu Suisheng.

Yu Suisheng said respectfully to her, “Madam Bai, my caravan is going to the Southern Frontier to buy goods. Ifyou still have anything, feel free to entrust it to my caravan to transport.”

Her eyes lit up. She looked at Sheng Huaixuan in praise and asked Yu Suisheng,

“Master Yu, have you been to the Southern Frontier?”

Yu Suisheng smiled and said, “The Southern Frontier is rich in resources.

Although I’ve never been there, the caravan has been there several times. ‘

The joy on Bai Wutong’s face deepened. “We have to take away all the high-yielding food seeds in our village. I wonder if it’s convenient for you, Master Yu?’

Yu Suisheng had asked people to drive so many carriages to Youjia Village because he knew that there was food needed to be transported.

When Bai Wutong said this, Yu Suisheng agreed and asked Cui Lingyi if she needed anything to bring along as well.

Of course, Cui Lingyi had many things she wanted to bring along. She smiled brightly at Yu Suisheng. ‘Thank you. ‘

When the beauty smiled, she was devastatingly beautiful.

Yu Suisheng was stunned for a moment. Sheng Huaixuan coughed lightly at the side before he came back to his senses and looked down in embarrassment.

Cui Lingyi knew that Yu Suisheng was Sheng Huaixuan’s subordinate, so she nodded at him gently to express her gratitude.

Auntie Yang, who was at the side, came over and asked, “Master Yu, we also have a lot of things to bring. Can you please give us two carriages? We can pay the rental fees.”

Not only Auntie Yang, but many people also had this thought. Everyone had some savings in their hands. If renting a carriage was not expensive, it would be much easier to travel thousands of miles to the Southern Frontier.

Madam Qu’s second daughter-in-law, He Chunbai, wanted to take advantage of him. She smiled and said, ‘We’re all from the same village. Why do we need to pay?”

Yu Suisheng and Sheng Huaixuan had a good relationship. He Chunbai thought that if she said this, Yu Suishen would let them have a free carriage to use on Sheng Huaixuan’s account and allow them to save a large sum of money.

Yu Suisheng didn’t say anything, so Auntie Yang glared at her coldly. “If you don’t pay, why should you be using the carriage? Master Yu doesn’t run a charity hall.”

He Chunbai pursed his lips and muttered softly, “Do you think everyone is as rich as your family?”

Renting a carriage must be expensive, and they were going to the Southern Frontier. The price could only be higher than usual.

Madam Qu wanted to spend money to buy a donkey, or at the very least, a mule. There were others in the village who were faster than them and bought it without hesitation, causing them to be unable to buy it even if they wanted to. Furthermore, it was too expensive to buy a horse.

Her three sons were unwilling to offer their money and were counting on the private assets in Madam Qu’s hands.

How much money could Madam Qu have? Naturally, she could not afford it. She had also seen through her sons’ selfish motives. Since they could not buy livestock, they would all walk!

Since her mother-in-law was unwilling to buy a horse and they did not want to carry the items from home on the road, He Chunbai set her sights on Yu

Suisheng. Unexpectedly, Auntie Yang was so unyielding and spoiled her plans. He Chunbai was about to die of anger.

Yu Suisheng glanced at Sheng Huaixuan and met the eager gazes of the villagers. He said, “You’re right. We are all a family in Youjia village. The price of renting a carriage is naturally more reasonable. The Southern Frontier is more than two months away from here and we only charge two taels of silver for two months. You’ll be responsible for the rations for the horse. If there are any damages to the horses, you’ll have to pay according to the market price.

What do you think?’

In ancient times, a horse cost at least ten taels of silver, and every inch bigger in size was ten taels more. Ordinary horses were worth at most 60 to 70 taels, and expensive horses cost more than a thousand taels or even an astronomical price.

It was still very worth it to rent a carriage for two taels of silver for a two months’ trip to Southern Frontier.

However, the rations for these two months cost one tael of silver. It would cost three taels in total.

Auntie Yang’s face lit up and she said excitedly, ‘Then can I rent four carriages?”

Their family had a mule and a plowing bull, but there were too many things and people. They could rent a carriage for two taels of silver. Auntie Yang felt that it was very worth it.

As soon as these words were spoken, He Chunbai was dumbfounded.

If he spent so much money renting a carriage, he could even buy a horse!

Village Chief Zhao’s family was really rich!

Yu Suisheng smiled and said, “Sure, Auntie Yang, just follow me to record down your name. The carriage is not allowed to enter Youjia Village. Aunt Yang has to personally move the things over.”

Auntie Yang nodded excitedly and smiled like a blooming flower. “That short amount of distance is fine. Thank you, Master Yu! Thank you, Master Yu!” Seeing Auntie Yang rent four carriages in one go, the others were also tempted.

Although they were not as rich as Village Chief Zhao’s family and the mountain sealing order had been lifted, the suitcases they had made previously had been pulled away and sold by Yu Suisheng. They had also received some money.

Not to mention renting four carriages in one go, they could still afford one carnage.

Everyone looked for Yu Suisheng to record their names, afraid that there would not be enough carriages.

When He Chunbai saw that everyone was renting a carriage, she panicked and hurriedly ran back to inform Madam Qu.

Madam Qu looked hesitant. He Chunbai said, “Mother, when the time comes, everyone will take the carriage, and we can only carry our luggage on the way.

We’ll all become a joke.”

Madam Qu had been prideful for her entire life, so she was naturally unwilling to admit defeat. She glanced at He Chunbai sharply. “I’m old, so I can’t travel like this. I do need a carriage. Help me rent one!”

He Chunbai’s expression changed drastically. Why should she use their second branch’s money to rent a carriage for her mother-in-law?

Madam Qu said coldly, “I’ve worked hard for most of my life, but I can’t even sit in a carriage? Are you going to take turns carrying an old woman like me on your backs?”

He Chunbai’s face turned pale. How could she even carry Madam Qu? She hurriedly said, “I’ll discuss it with Eldest and Third Sister-in-law now! I’ll definitely be able to get Mother to sit in the carriage.”

She ran away and heaved a sigh of relief. If the three families went out together, they would at least spend less money. Everyone could take turns to sit on the carriage..
