Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Chapter 157 Do we think we are fools?

After hearing what she said, Lin Yinan took a closer look and discovered that even if the shopkeeper took good care of it, a thin layer of dust still formed on it after being stored for a long time.

Yun Mo used the clothes rail to take down the two sets of clothes and handed them to Lin Yinan. His keen insight quickly grasped the key points of the shopkeeper's words.

"Nanman Prefecture? Is it far from Nanzhou Prefecture?"

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "It's not far. It only takes four or five days to get there. It's precisely because it's not far that the Japanese pirates come here to cause trouble every year."

Yun Mo stopped talking and stared at the clothes in Lin Yinan's hand thoughtfully.

Lin Yinan touched the clothes in his hand. They were made of the kind of wear-resistant coarse cloth. Wearing such clothes while working in the fields in the summer would definitely keep one cool.

"Shopkeeper, how many of these two ready-made clothes do you have?"

"Not much, only about a hundred sets in total. If you want, young lady, three hundred coins per set. I'll charge you the cost price."

Lin Yinan did not make a decision immediately, and casually looked at other clothing fabrics in the store.

The shopkeeper had a pair of lively and bright eyes. He looked at the people in the store. They were strangers and should have never been to Nanzhou Prefecture before. He thought for a moment and wondered if they were a big family that had moved south.

If it was a family moving south, it would be understandable that they wanted so much cloth. The shopkeeper was a man who knew how to seize opportunities.

She put on a bright smile, "I have two large bags of scraps of cloth in my backyard. Since you bought so much cloth, I will give it to you for free. Young lady, if you want the clothes, I will give you fifty pairs of thousand-layer soles. This is already the most affordable price in the entire Nanzhou Prefecture. You can go and ask."

"Okay, I'll take that dress." Lin Yinan turned around and came back, sitting down on the chair in front of the counter.

Soon, Yunmu, Yunyan and the others had all made their choices.

The shopkeeper calculated the price, and Lin Yinan readily paid the money. Yun Mo gave the delivery address, and the shopkeeper promised to deliver all the goods before noon tomorrow.

Before leaving, Lin Yinan told the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, our family is new here. If anyone asks you what we bought, please keep it a secret."

"Don't worry, I understand." The shopkeeper agreed.

When they came out of the fabric shop, except for Yun Ye and Yun Ming, the others were all leaning against each other and asleep outside the door. The secret guards brought the carriage and were carrying them into it.

There wasn't anywhere to go, so we decided to go home.

Back at the Yun Mansion, Luo Shouxin, who had been out all day, also came back.

Because of what happened in the morning, Wang did not invite the eldest wife of the Yun family to come over for dinner, but instead asked the kitchen to deliver the food to their yard.

There were only five dishes, a soup, and rice.

After the meal, Luo Shouxin reported the results of his busy day outside today. "After you led the servants of the Yun Mansion away in the morning, I quickly rented a house. It's not far from the city gate. I have asked the secret guard to tell you the address when I come back."

Yun Mo nodded, "We ordered a batch of fabric today and it will be delivered tomorrow morning."

"We have bought a batch of grain today and paid the deposit. We have agreed to deliver the grain tomorrow. We are also negotiating with two more customers, but they will give us a reply tomorrow. We haven't bargained for them, so I don't think there will be any problem." Luo Shoushou said this with a beaming face. Doing business is a very simple matter for him.

Yunye, "Have you asked about the medicinal materials?"

"Yes, I didn't find a herbal medicine dealer because I was afraid that someone would find out about our background. I found a few stores and bought them piecemeal. I will be able to buy everything in the next two days."

Yun Mo held the list in his hand, and he put a check mark on each item they purchased.

"We haven't bought the horse fodder yet. We have a lot of horses, and they are all exhausted from the road. Once things stabilize, we will start trying to breed them." Yun Mo added with a frown.

"I'll go and ask around tomorrow." Luo Shouxin said.

There was a knock on the door. "Master, Yun Er is here."

Yun Er and Yun Yi stayed in the village to guard the team and would only go into the city when something happened.

"Come in." Yun Mo said.

Yun Er pushed the door open and came in, smiling and bowing to the people in the room.

"Did something happen at the farm?" Yun Mo poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Yun Er took it and drank it all in one gulp. The cup was too small to quench his thirst, so he grabbed the teapot and poured it into his mouth.

Yunmu took out a bag of pastries that she bought on the street today and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach."

"Thank you ma'am."

Yun Er picked up a few pieces of cake and put them into his mouth. "These cakes are not as delicious as those in Shangjing."

Yun Mo rolled his eyes. "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. What are you doing here?"

The pastries were too dry, and Yun Er choked and rolled his eyes. He quickly picked up the teapot and poured more tea into his mouth, trying hard to swallow the pastries in his mouth.

Yun Ercai said, "I followed the people from the Yun Mansion into the city. After you left yesterday, someone from the farm came to investigate stealthily. Today, someone even made a scene and tried to rummage through our carriage, saying that the chicken was missing."

"Are you going to overturn our carriage because the chicken is lost?" Yunmu also felt that this excuse was too poor.

"Yes, ma'am, isn't that funny? Do you think we are fools?"

Yunye frowned, "What happened next?"

Yun Er shrugged. "Later, we followed the master's instructions and opened it for them to have a good look. After the man finished looking, he reported to the people in the Yun Mansion in a room on the farm. I followed them all the way in. They should be in Master Yun Er's study now."

Yun Mo supported his chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other unconsciously, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Very good! Grandfather and father raised him for so many years, it's time for him to shed some blood and contribute a little to our family."

Yun Ye said in a deep voice, "I will go to him tomorrow to ask for some money and food."

"Yes, force him to take action and see what his trump card is." Yun Er smiled cunningly.

In the study of the Yun Mansion, after Yun Zhenchuan dealt with Yun Hao, he locked himself in the study for the whole day.

At this time, he was listening to the reports from the two groups of people sent to investigate.

After listening to this, Yun Zhenchuan was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "Are you saying that the boxes on the carriage are all filled with clothes? There are no valuables at all?"

The subordinate lowered his head and said, "Yes, everyone in the village saw it at that time."

He didn't believe that the eldest wife of the Yun family would not bring anything out.

But considering that they went out for a walk around Nanzhou Prefecture today but didn't buy anything, he had to believe it.

Yun Zhenchuan suddenly felt very happy and laughed out loud, "Good! Good, they must have reached the end of their rope, I will just sit and wait for them to come to me and beg for help."

"Your Excellency is wise. They will certainly follow your instructions when the time comes."

The subordinates immediately flattered him.

"How's the Fourth Young Master doing?"

Thinking of Yun Hao who was beaten to a bloody mess by Yun Mo, Yun Zhenchuan was so angry that his back teeth were about to break.

"I've asked a doctor to examine him and prescribe medicine. He said that his muscles and bones were injured and he would need to recuperate for a year or so before he could get out of bed. Now the fourth young master is in a coma and had a fever in the evening, so Madam has asked for another doctor."

"Pa!" Yun Zhenchuan slapped the table with his palm, his face full of dark clouds, "Yun Mo, this traitor, actually killed his closest relative in such a cruel way!"

The study room of the Fan Mansion.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Fan Yuejia was taken to the study by a servant. When she opened the door, she saw her father practicing calligraphy with great concentration.
