Chapter 147: Chapter 147

"Why are you still standing here? Aren’t you going to disperse quickly? Do you want to continue hindering the government from doing its job?"

As soon as the officer’s words fell, the people gathered at the entrance quickly dispersed.

"My house was flooded too. Do I also have a share of the silver taels and food?"

In the originally quiet carriage, Shen Qinglan’s soft voice suddenly sounded.

Duan Yunfei chuckled softly and nodded, "You do."

Shen Qinglan spoke earnestly, "Then I must thank the Young Master first!"

Duan Yunfei said, "If the young lady feels grateful, it’s best to repay me with your life!"

After saying this, both of them couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Le Zhao softly hushed, while Xuan Ying glanced at him displeased.

Seeing that the refugees had dispersed, the driver drove the carriage forward.

In recent years, people from Jinxi Town and Yongning Manor frequently interacted, therefore, the emblem of Yongning Manor was still recognized.

When the carriage approached, the guards automatically made way.

The carriage traveled all the way to Baihua Lane, and when it reached the Shen Mansion, Shen Qinglan got off.

Duan Yunfei knew that now wasn’t the best time to visit his future father and mother-in-law, so he sensibly stayed in the carriage.

Shen Qinglan and the cart driver loaded with goods entered the Shen Mansion.

"Third Sister is back!"

Shen Qingping, dressed as a scholar, suddenly shouted and ran into the inner courtyard.

Everyone busy in the western wing stopped what they were doing and came out.

The first ones out were Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qinghe, followed by Dong Yao, Madam Jiang, and Madam Lu.

Shen Qinglan greeted everyone individually, then said, "I’m back!"

"It’s good that you’re back!" Dong Yao pulled her and asked, "Are you tired?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelFɪre.net

"No," Shen Qinglan said, then turned to the driver, "Please have a cup of tea while I have someone unload the goods."

"No need, Miss Shen, I must return to the Manor to report!" the driver said, "Where should I put the goods, and I will unload them for you."

Shen Qinglan thought for a moment and said, "Just move them directly into the main hall."

There, Shen Qingping had already called over Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qingfeng and the others.

Shen Qingfeng and the others hurried to help the driver unload.

After the driver left, everyone eagerly asked Shen Qinglan where she got all these items.

Shen Qinghe hugged a bolt of fabric, stroked it, and sighed, "This is top-quality brocade. I saw it at the Embroidery Shop, and just one bolt costs a hundred taels of silver. With so many bolts, it must be worth two thousand taels of silver?"

There are twenty bolts in total, if what Shen Qinghe says is true, then it indeed amounts to two thousand taels.

"I’ve tasted this wine before!" Shen Qingfeng said, "Last year, Tianjie had someone send me two jars, saying it was brewed by the winemaker at Yongning Manor, priceless, the taste aromatic and superb!"

He looked at Shen Qinglan and asked, "Qinglan, how did you come by so much?"

There were thirty small jars in total, along with heaps of fruits and snacks.

"So many delicious things!"

Shen Qing’an and Shen Qingping each carried a box of osmanthus candy, grinning brightly.

Shen Qinglan felt a headache; she truly hadn’t expected these ordinary-looking items to be so valuable. Adding to her headache was the fact that Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingfeng actually knew about their origin.

She cleared her throat lightly and explained, "Uh... these were given by the host when Tang the Shopkeeper and I visited Yongning Manor."

"So, the place you went to this time was Yongning Manor?"

Thinking of Duan Yunfei, Shen Qingfeng suddenly understood.

Madam Lu looked shocked, "Oh my, the host is so generous, giving away things worth over ten thousand taels!"

Dong Yao and Madam Jiang were equally shocked.

Shen Qingfeng laughed, "Yongning Manor is the wealthiest in Yunye Country; these things are nothing in their eyes."

In fact, Shen Qinglan didn’t know that originally Luo Jing wanted to send her even more valuable items, but fearing she’d be scared and wouldn’t dare visit again, they switched to these more common items.
