It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 363

In Rongcheng County, ironware, which was already strictly controlled, has become even harder to obtain in the past year.

A few years ago, after counting her savings, Jiang Yan thought she could buy an iron pot to enrich her dishes, but the soaring prices discouraged her.

With the help of Fufu's power?

Jiang Yan's body was shaken to the side and he immediately held on to the carriage, but his brows were still furrowed as he weighed the pros and cons.

The road conditions improved a bit after entering Changning Prefecture, but there was no substantial improvement.

The straw mat in the carriage had been shaken to pieces. Jiang Yan and Chunying crawled out, their legs shaking uncontrollably.

The two of them supported each other and limped forward. Jiang Yan inadvertently mentioned that when he accompanied Fu Nulang to and from Donghu Mansion, the road conditions were not as bad as they are now, and sitting in a carriage for a long time was not as painful as it is now.

"Don't you think about how slow their carriages are? And—" the sharp-eared guard Thirteen said sarcastically, "In order to make travel easier, they've forced countless people to work day and night to build roads."

"There is such a thing?" Jiang Yan was shocked. This was the first time she heard of it.

"Don't you think the road is so quiet and deserted? They've either been captured or scared away. Anyone who dares to get close is looking for death."

Jiang Yan whispered, "I thought it was because of the previous military campaigns, and also... the population is so sparse."

Knowing that several of Jiang Yan's elders were unable to return home because of this, Chunying patted her shoulder to comfort her.

When the sun rose halfway up the sky, the city wall of a small town under the jurisdiction of Changning Prefecture came into view clearly.

Before entering the city gate, Shisan finally told Chunying and Jiang Yan part of the plan, and repeatedly emphasized the need to act secretly and carefully.

"Then do I need to choose a code name?" Jiang Yan thought thoughtfully.

"No, it would be troublesome if I changed it."

Why was it troublesome? It wasn't until Jiang Yan followed the team to the Changning Governor's Mansion that she realized that they were afraid of causing trouble for Fu Nulang.

The Governor's Mansion was filled with white, and the servants and maids walking around looked dull and depressed, but there were still many people with secretly happy expressions on their brows.

Jiang Yan stood quietly outside the door, while inside the door, Guard Thirteen was apologizing to several masters of the Governor's Mansion.

Thirteen said that after their master learned that Governor Zheng was seriously ill, he quickly sent them to visit him, but they didn't expect that they were still a step too late.

Thirteen said that their master specially sent many precious medicinal herbs.

Thirteen said that their master was very grateful to the Zheng family for taking care of Miss Fu.

Jiang Yan couldn't see the expressions of the people in the room, but she thought that if she paid attention, she could find out that they were not in a hurry to travel, and they stopped and walked from time to time. The only carriage was empty.

Coupled with Thirteen's serious retelling - it's simply full of sarcasm.

What kind of hatred or grudge is this? There is no need to worry about Fu Nulang being here.

The other people in the Zheng Mansion were obviously not fools, but their anger was stopped before it could flare up.

After Fu Nulang said a few words, Jiang Yan and Chunying were called into the house.

Mrs. Song, who was sitting at the top of the table, glanced over and asked, "Are you two Afu's sisters?"

No, Jiang Yan denied in his heart.

But before Chunying and her could answer, Madam Song said directly: "You must be tired after coming so far, Afu, take the others to the courtyard to rest."

"Thank you, mother."

After not seeing her for several years, Fu Nulang's voice sounded a little more unfamiliar. When she stood up to leave the room, Jiang Yan noticed her bulging belly.

What's going on? Jiang Yan didn't believe that Fu Nulang would think of her and Chunying for no reason, but it was inconvenient to ask at the moment, so she could only give Chunying a look hoping to get some clues.
