Chapter 464 Return to Shui Fan State...
Chapter 464 Return to Shui Fan State...
Hearing this, the queen laughed awkwardly, then frowned, feeling extremely anxious. Not leaving? No way! If she didn't leave, her private vault would be lost.
The queen clenched her fists and kept thinking of a solution in her mind, even cursing inwardly, "You stupid brain, come up with a solution! Find a way to make them leave."
Ji Xingle sat aside, eating snacks and sipping tea slowly. He glanced at the empress from time to time and saw her anxious look.
He was very happy in his heart, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and thought to himself, I let you show off, let's see how you can show off again now.
Just as Ji Xingle finished a pot of tea, the Queen smiled and gritted her teeth and said;
"You guys go back! I'll give you money for the journey and one month's expenses. I'll also give Sister Yan 500 taels of silver.
I also received some valuable supplements from the ministers a few days ago, as well as two pieces of fire-washed cloth and brocade. How about you take them back and give them to your mother and father?"
Fireproof cloth?
This is a magical cloth that can be washed in fire without being damaged. It may be spun by immortals from Kunlun Mountain or made from the hair of special mice.
But these statements are mostly mythological. Fire-resistant cloth was regarded as an extremely precious fabric in ancient times.
To put it bluntly, this thing is asbestos cloth. Asbestos is very harmful to the human body. No matter how rare the thing is, she doesn't like it.
Yunjin is okay, but it's never cheap.
Ji Xingle said to the Queen;
"I accept your kindness, mother, but I will not take away your favor..."
Hearing this, the Queen was stunned;
"You don't want the Fireproof Cloth? Why? Do you know how rare it is?"
Ji Xingle nodded;
"I know, but this thing is harmful to the human body, I don't like it."
Harmful to the body? Is this a joke?
The queen's heart sank. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Ji Xingle intently, trying to detect a joke on her face.
Ji Xingle also cooperated. After all, the fire-proof cloth was not something that ordinary people could afford to wear. Moreover, it had been passed down from generation to generation, and no one had ever said that wearing the cloth would make a person a bad person.
The Queen is understandably unconvinced.
After a long time, the Queen asked Ji Xingle for the specific reason, and Ji Xingle told her all the harmful effects of asbestos.
The Queen was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this. After confirming it again, she turned pale and waved her hand, asking Ji Xingle to go back and prepare the things for the journey.
The reward will be delivered to the mansion by the nanny later.
Ji Xingle was stunned for a moment when he saw that the queen was so frightened. Is this true?
Seeing that she didn't look fake, Ji Xingle comforted her briefly, said hello and left.
As soon as Ji Xingle left, how could the fearful expression on the Queen's face still be there?
The nanny was shocked watching from the side. She was thinking that if the empress was still afraid, she would call the imperial physician. Unexpectedly, the empress got better as soon as Lord Ji left. Isn't this too magical?
Mammy tried;
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The Queen rolled her eyes;
"I'm fine!"
"Then, what you just said, and what Master Ji just said..."
The Queen's face darkened again, and Nanny was at a loss for a moment. What was going on? Did she believe it or not?
Before the nanny could think about it, the queen waved her hand behind her, and a man in black appeared immediately;
"Queen."
"Did you hear everything I just said?"
"Yes."
"Go and tell them that there is no need to send the fire-proof cloth to the palace in the future. As for the reason, you can tell me any reason you want. Since those ministers like it, just give it to them!"
"Yes."
The Queen then asked the nanny to collect the reward for Ji Xingle, and specifically told her not to offend Ji Xingle and to send her away happily.
Such a difficult task? Mammy said quickly;
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will talk to them nicely and send them away happily..."
Hearing this, the Queen pinched her brows and waved her hand;
"Go!"
"Yes, the slave will leave."
As Mammy had promised the empress, she lowered herself as low as she could as soon as she arrived at Ji's residence.
The words he spoke were extremely respectful, and he was very careful with every word he said.
Ji Xingle and the others received the reward and said with a smile;
"Go back and tell the Queen Mother to rest assured that we will be leaving soon."
Hearing this, the nanny thought, doesn't this mean that the Queen can't wait for them to leave?
She wanted to refute but didn't know how. Forget it. They could leave anyway. Even if the Queen had a bad reputation, it would be okay. In the end, the nanny could only wave goodbye.

Ji Xingle took Lao Shisan and Huangfu Xinyue on the road to the Xianfan Kingdom...
There were some minor setbacks on the road, but they were all resolved by the guards one by one. The change in Old Thirteen really surprised Ji Xingle and the others.
Especially during breaks, when he saw beggars asking for food, Old Thirteen would actually take out copper coins and give them to them, and then said seriously;
"Do...work...have...money...but...be...lazy..."
The beggar smiled frivolously and didn't take Old Thirteen's words to heart at all. He took a few copper coins, thanked him and went to buy some wine.
Ji Xingle and Huangfu Xinyue's gentle inquiries;
"Why would you think of giving them money?"
Old Thirteen didn't know how to express himself in words, so he pointed at his clothes;
“Dirty and costs money.”
"You mean, their clothes are dirty, and you give them money to buy clothes, right?"
Old Thirteen nodded, then shook his head and pointed to his stomach;
"Hungry."
"You mean, they are in trouble and feel hungry, and you want to help them, right?"
Hearing this, Old Thirteen's eyes rolled around, thinking about Ji Xingle's words, and then nodded seriously;
"Correct."
Seeing that she was so young and yet so kind, Ji Xingle talked to her about some things about knowing a person's face but not his heart, and that not every down-and-out person deserves help from others.
Old Thirteen didn't understand, but he rested here for two days and saw beggars begging every day. Old Thirteen was stunned when he saw them begging with a clear conscience.
He grabbed Ji Xingle at a loss;
"Mother~"
Ji Xingle picked up Old Thirteen, comforted her, and saw that she was fine.
He looked at the beggars with sharp eyes and said coldly;
“You have hands and feet, and there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters now, so why don’t you go to farm the land?
Logically speaking, each of you owns land, and as long as you work hard, you don't have to beg.
Moreover, you are such adults, but you actually beg from a one-year-old child, do you have any shame?"
The beggars felt a little embarrassed by what Ji Xingle said. Without waiting for them to reply, Ji Xingle turned to the guards and said:
"Send them to the officials to check their household registration. Since they like to beg, give their land to those in need."
Hearing this, several beggars immediately knelt down and begged for mercy;
"My lady, please don't do that! Please don't do that! I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your kindness.
I know I was wrong. I will go back to farm and work hard. I will never be lazy and beg again.
Please don't send us to the authorities! I know I was wrong."
Hearing this, Ji Xingle said coldly;
"Okay, since you know you're wrong, I'll let you go."
Ji Xingle then took out an identity card and handed it to the guard.
"Go talk to the government here and ask them to send someone to supervise them. If they dare to cheat, let them become real beggars."
"Yes, master."
Several beggars followed the guards dejectedly, resigned to their fate.
Old Thirteen grabbed Ji Xingle's clothes and looked at her eagerly, wanting her to talk to him and explain something.
This look was so adorable, Ji Xingle kissed her cheek and said gently;
"They are just lazy people, we can't learn from them, do you know?
Hard work may not make you rich, but it can give you dignity and fill your stomach..."
Old Thirteen was confused and nodded seriously;
"Ah."
Huangfu Xinyue was relieved to see that she was not frightened by the situation just now, and reached out to hug her and said with a smile;
"We are ready to set off again! Are you ready?"
Old Thirteen said happily;
"Okay~"
