The princely heir glanced at her, ignored her, and simply said, "I think this idea is feasible."
This made the Xue Family enraged.
The second young master, being easy-going and indifferent, said, "Having a piece of land is not bad. If you can't farm, then plant fruit trees. Having some fruits to eat is great."
The third young master, who always supported Li Yuzhu, said, "Third sister, I don't know how to farm either, but I can learn."
Li Yuzhu asked Prince Luling and his wife, "Father, Mother, what do you think?"
Prince Luling neither knew how to farm nor wanted to. Him, a dignified prince, farming? Wouldn't that be beneath him?
But he did not oppose acquiring a piece of land.
Back then, he had an entire state mansion as his fief; all the fertile lands of Qingzhou Prefecture were his.
It's all the fault of the nephew emperor who was too ruthless, taking away all his fief lands.
If he could get a piece of land now, it would indicate the existence of the Prince Mansion.
This little daughter really understood his intentions.
"Hmm, Yuzhu's idea is excellent," Prince Luling approvingly said.
The Princess Consort was not very concerned about the land matter, she had no opinion, "Listen to your father then."
The head of the family had made a statement, so others dared not voice their thoughts.
After the family rested for a while, they left Old Qin's house.
Old Qin, worried that they wouldn't find the cave on Niu Tou Mountain, asked his eldest son, Qin Lizheng, to escort them.
The group walked and arrived at Niu Tou Mountain.
As they reached halfway up the mountain, Li Yuzhu encountered that young man again.
The young man was dressed in very worn clothes, yet they were clean. His cheeks were thin, but his eyes showed a maturity and sharpness beyond his years.
He had a bamboo basket on his shoulder and a hoe in his hand.
"Village chief, going up the mountain?" He nodded at Qin Lizheng,
Qin Lizheng waved his hand at him, smiling as he said, "Yuanxiu, digging herbs again."
"Yes, the weather's good today." Mu Yuanxiu nodded.
Qin Lizheng smiled and said, "You're just in time, let me introduce your neighbors." He pointed to Li Yuzhu and her family, saying, "They are from the Northern Land and haven't found a place to live yet. They will stay in the cave halfway up the mountain."
Mu Yuanxiu glanced at Li Yuzhu in the crowd, then advised everyone, "A leopard recently appeared on the mountain, be careful."
After speaking, he adjusted the basket on his back and walked quickly down the mountain.
Upon hearing there was a leopard on the mountain, the Xue Family immediately exclaimed, "How can we live here then? Isn't this a death sentence?"
The Great Princess and the Second Princess both changed their expressions.
The village chief shook his head and said, "To be honest, our village is in a valley surrounded by mountains. Wild animals often roam in and out of the forests."
"What? Often? Is it safe to stay here?" The Great Princess sighed.
The Xue Family was also frightened and hurriedly tugged at the princely heir's sleeve, "Husband, let's leave here. I don't want to die..."
The princely heir cupped his fists towards the village chief, "May I ask, are there wild animals around other nearby villages?"
The village chief said, "Yes, not only around nearby villages but throughout Qingyang County, wild animals can be seen at any time. It's common for chickens to be bitten by weasels and piglets to be taken by wild dogs. Except for in the county town and Zhen An Prefecture, it's like this everywhere. Where there are forests, there are wild animals."
Then we're doomed.
Houses in the city are expensive and unaffordable. Even a sip of water costs money, and going to the toilet costs a coin each time.
