Chapter 389: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (23)
The two of them got up together, dressed neatly, and Yan Xue rang the bell at the head of the bed.
Bai Ling and Huang Ying, who were waiting outside, pushed the door open and came in, followed by the maids who had been prepared long ago, carrying copper basins for washing.
"Greetings to the Prince and Princess."
Yan Xue waved her hand. After washing and dressing up, Yan Xue asked, "Has Manager Feng arrived?"
Huang Ying replied immediately, "Yes, I am here. I have been waiting for you in the flower hall for a cup of tea."
Yan Xue nodded, and after finishing her meal, she came to the flower hall. Duanmu Ci followed her step by step.
When Steward Feng saw the Princess and the Prince coming, he immediately bowed. After the two sat down,
Yan Xue asked, "Manager Feng, how is the workshop going?"
Manager Feng replied respectfully: "Princess, the three workshops have been set up according to your requirements, and the required raw materials have also been prepared.
The soap and soap mold designed by San Ye were also delivered, but there was a problem that needed to be solved.
Even the workers in the workshop were afraid that outsiders would find out, for fear that the secret recipe would be leaked."
Yan Xue nodded and said, "I have already arranged the people for you. Don't worry. They are absolutely reliable. I will let Baoya take you to pick people later."
Manager Feng finally felt relieved when he heard this.
"This time, Baoya will go back with you. She will teach the workers how to make soap and shampoo. After returning, let the workers seize the time to learn and make sure to deliver on time within half a month."
"Yes, Princess." After saying that, Manager Feng stepped out.
Duanmu Ci looked at Yan Xue and asked curiously, "Did you tell them the recipe of this soap so easily?"
Yan Xue smiled and said, "This is not a secret. More people will know about it in the future. We are just taking advantage of this wave of dividends.
And they are all people we trust, so they shouldn’t leak it.”
Duanmu Ci nodded and asked, "Can this Manager Feng be trusted?"
Yan Xue smiled and said, "My father trained more than 20 stewards during his lifetime, and all of them are good hands. They have been loyal to my father for more than ten years, so there will be no problem."
At this point, Duanmu Ci suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at Yan Xuexue and asked, "Should I go and pay my respects to my father-in-law?"
Yan Xuexue was slightly startled when she heard this, and said softly: "Well, okay, after we finish these few days, let's go back to Rising Sun Villa together."
Yan Xue had already paid homage to Prince Sheng's tablet on her wedding day, but she had not had the chance to go back and pay homage to her own father.
Thinking of this, Yan Xue couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Three days later, in the early morning, Yan Xue and Duanmu Ci set out for Xuri Villa together.
They traveled light, Yan Xue brought four maids with her, while Duanmu Ci brought his eight guards, in addition, there were more than thirty palace soldiers following them.
Duanmu Ci originally hoped that Baoya could go with him. He had seen the chubby girl's skills and knew that her kung fu was quite good.
Later he learned that the other four girls also possessed martial arts skills, and that these skills were specially trained for Yan Xue by her father.
When Bai Yuheng learned that his junior sister was going back to Xuri Villa, he seemed very excited and asked to go back with her.
After all, he had been away from home for more than two months and he still felt a little homesick.
The group walked leisurely towards the north. As the journey was long, it would take about six days to get there by carriage, so they were not in a hurry and played as they walked.
As soon as they left Jiangzhou that day, Yan Xue felt something was obviously different.
She sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked out, only to see more and more beggars on the roadside. Most of them were pale and thin, with no clothes to cover their bodies.
Some people even had injuries on their bodies and looked very pitiful.
Not only that, many of them travel together, some are couples, some are fathers and sons, some are mothers and daughters, and some are three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
I've even seen a village together.
As the carriage traveled south, Bai Yuting also noticed this situation and was secretly shocked.
He remembered that when he went back to Jiangzhou some time ago, he did not see so many beggars on the road.
Now so many of them suddenly appear, has something happened?
Thinking of this, Bai Yuheng jumped off his horse, walked to an old man holding a boy, and asked with concern: "Old man, where are you going?"
The old man looked up at the person in front of him. Seeing that the other person was dressed brightly and beautifully, he knew that this person must have never suffered any hardship.
So he sighed helplessly and replied, "We are going to Jiangzhou to make a living."
Bai Yuheng asked again: "Where is your original home?"
The old man coughed a few times and said in a hoarse voice: "We are originally from Huzhou, but our hometown was hit by a disaster and flood a few days ago.
The houses and crops were destroyed, and most of the villagers were drowned. There was really no other way but to go to Jiangzhou to see if there was any chance of survival. "
After saying that, the old man started coughing again, and the little boy next to him quickly supported him.
Bai Yuheng nodded with a heavy heart after hearing this. He took out a few coins and handed them to the old man.
He said, "Use this little money to buy some food."
The old man took the silver with tears of gratitude and thanked the man repeatedly.
Bai Yuheng waved his hand, then returned to the team with a frown on his face.
"Junior sister, they are all refugees from Huzhou. There was a flood in their home."
Yan Xue nodded. She had just sent the mechanical bees out to investigate and had a general understanding of the situation.
Although she felt sorry for these people, she couldn't conjure food out of thin air. If she did, people would think she was a monster and she would be finished.
They continued on their journey and finally arrived at Rising Sun Villa on the fifth night.
But when passing by the peach blossom forest, Yan Xue frowned deeply. There was a strong smell of blood and obvious bloodstains on the ground. It was obvious that they had not been cleaned up.
She walked quickly towards the villa. The people at the gate saw that it was their young lady who had returned and immediately came out to greet her.
"Miss, you are back."
