Chapter 410: The Wulin Leader’s Fiancée (26)
"Miss, you have been back home for a long time. Do you feel bored staying in the house all day?
How about we go out for an outing? On the one hand, we can enjoy the beautiful spring scenery, and on the other hand, we can stretch our muscles and relax our body and mind." Fei Tao asked Su Xiangran softly.
Su Xiangran thought for a moment and replied, "Well... OK, let's go to Xiangshan to have a look! It's a good opportunity to see the variety of flowers there.
If the soil is suitable, more varieties can be added. The spice business also needs innovation.
And I haven’t visited that house since Butler Su bought it! I’ll take this opportunity to visit it.”
"Great! I also think this is a good idea." Fei Tao responded excitedly, "I'll have someone arrange the travel arrangements right away, it's too late to leave the city today.
We will go there tomorrow morning. There are houses on the mountain where you can stay, but there are not many things you need. I will arrange to bring more things with me.
If you feel that place is nice, you can relax there."
"Okay, you go and arrange it." Su Xiangran said with a smile. She was actually looking forward to tomorrow's trip.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
A carriage was waiting at the door early, and Feitao helped Su Xiangran get into the carriage.
Butler Su did not go with them this time. After all, Su Xiangran and Feitao went to Xiangshan together, so someone had to stay at home to look after the house.
However, he arranged for his nephew Su An to go with Su Xiangran.
Su An has been with him for many years, and this nephew has also helped to take care of Xiangshan's affairs. When the time comes, no matter what the young lady asks, there will be someone to answer her.
Along the way, Su Xiangran admired the scenery along the way and didn't feel the journey was long.
However, after walking for about half an hour, Xiangshan Mountain could be seen in the distance, but a few people appeared to spoil the view.
"Whose family is this lady? She is so grand when she goes out." Several people dressed as refugees stopped in front of their car. "Such a wealthy family, can you give us a bite to eat?"
When the guards heard this, they looked at each other, some of them not knowing how to deal with it.
If these people were bandits, they would attack them without hesitation, but because of the word "civilian", they could not help but be a little soft-hearted.
"Where are you refugees from?" Fei Tao asked, lifting one side of the carriage curtain. "It seems that there has been no famine near Yuncheng in the past few days."
This is true. Yuncheng is located in a remote frontier area, and the people here generally respect the use of force and have a bold and strong temperament, so the tax burden is relatively light.
Normally, unless there are serious natural disasters or wars, such a large group of refugees will rarely appear.
"We...we..." The three of them looked at each other, speech was hesitant, and seemed unable to speak.
"You are a wealthy man, so why not give some money to these poor people?" At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from a big tree next to them.
Fei Tao looked up when she heard the voice, but before she could see clearly who was speaking, she saw a figure leaping down from the tree as lightly as a bird and landing steadily in front of her carriage.
When the man stood still, Fei Tao took a closer look and found that he was a young knight with a long sword on his back.
I saw that he was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with a heroic look between his brows.
However, what is most eye-catching is his face, with skin as white as jade and facial features as delicate as a painting, making it difficult to tell his gender.
"Why doesn't this sister say anything?" The young man asked Fei Tao with a smile, "But he also thinks that what I said is right."
Fei Tao just opened her mouth and was about to say something when she suddenly heard Su Xiangran's clear and slightly cold voice coming from the carriage: "No matter how much wealth I have, it is our Su family's own business.
If you ask me to distribute my property equally just for this reason, then I would like to ask you, little brother, what is the difference between your behavior and that of a bandit leader who robs and plunders people?"
The man obviously did not expect Su Xiangran to respond in this way. He was speechless for a moment and couldn't say a word for a long time. It seemed that he had never expected to be refuted in this way.
At this time, Fei Tao also came up with a clever sentence: "I'm afraid this young man is used to robbing the rich and giving to the poor, so when he sees someone with a lot of wealth, he wants to rob him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guard, who had just looked embarrassed, immediately put his hand on the knife.
They may be soft-hearted towards refugees, but they will not be ambiguous towards robbers.
The three refugees knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please be merciful! We just want to have something to eat, we don't want to cause any trouble."
"Go a little further and you'll reach Yuncheng." Fei Tao pointed to the back of the carriage, "You have hands and feet, so you won't starve to death if you work harder."
Su An thought for a moment and added, "Or you can come with us. We are hiring people on the mountain. As long as you are willing to learn and work hard, you can live well."
"What the young lady said is very good, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst." The young man expressed a different opinion, "They are already starving, wouldn't it be more direct to give them some money?"
After hearing what the young man said, two of the refugees immediately showed excitement on their faces. They looked at the thinnest one, kowtowed, and said, "I am willing to follow you to work in the mountains."
