Chapter 1340: Chapter 1120: Princess Chun’an Misguided by Storytellers 1_2
…
Xiao Keyan settled in at the Dong Family with peace of mind.
The next day, upon receiving the news, Dong Yuanyao brought her daughter Sun Lanxin to the Dong Residence, and the mother and daughter talked with Xiao Keyan for quite a while.
Dong Jingyi: “Grandmother, mother, aunt, I’m taking the Princess and Lanxin for a stroll outside the city.”
Madam Dong knew that Xiao Keyan had not been in Xiliang for a long ti, and now was the perfect ti for her to look around, so she did not stop them. Instead, she called over her eldest grandson, Dong Zhenghua, to accompany the three young ladies out: “The personnel in Ganzhou Prefecture are quite mixed these days; rember to protect Keyan and the girls.”
Dong Zhenghua happily agreed: “Grandmother, rest assured, I will take good care of my sister and them.”
Only then did Madam Dong lead them to be released.
Watching the three girls leave with laughter, Dong Yuanyao’s expression held a touch of nostalgia: “Seeing them reminds of when Yiyi and I used to go out together in Zhongzhou as children.”
Madam Dong also sighed a bit: “Ti flies so fast; in the blink of an eye, your children have all started families and careers.”
Dong Yuanyao: “Indeed, and I don’t know how long Yiyi and the others can stay this ti; it’s been so long since I’ve seen them, I must catch up with her properly.”
“We must treat the Prince and Princess Consort with utmost hospitality when they co over,” Madam Dong felt deeply grateful to Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, thinking that the Dong Family’s revival was greatly owed to their assistance.
Over the years, although her son has always been a fourth-ranking Magistrate, his authority was no less than that of a third-ranking Advisor.
Ganzhou is the largest prefecture in Xiliang, and the largest cavalry camp in Daxia is built here. Furthermore, the largest Hu City in Xiliang is also in Ganzhou, making her son’s actual power much greater than that of an Advisor.
When mobilizing cavalry, even the Frontier Army Commander and the Commander must treat her son with respect.
Her son has been able to hold the position of Ganzhou Magistrate steadily, all thanks to the support of Prince Weiyuan.
…
Ever since Xiao Yeyang defeated Xiliao, Xiliang has no longer been devastated by war. In addition to the establishnt of branch offices and the promotion of high-yield grain cultivation, today’s Xiliang is no longer as barren and desolate as it once was.
The opening of Hu City has attracted a large influx of Western Regions rchants. As soon as Xiao Keyan and her group left the city gates, they saw several caravans of Western Regions rchants.
“Ganzhou is becoming more and more bustling!” Looking at the long queue entering the city, Xiao Keyan couldn’t help but sigh.
Dong Jingyi smiled and said: “There aren’t usually so many people; it’s because of the horse racing festival. Co on, let take you to see the marketplace my father designated two years ago.”
Saying this, she pulled Xiao Keyan and Sun Lanxin along and started running forward.
Seeing this, Dong Zhenghua had no choice but to quickly gather the maids and servants to follow behind: “Be careful, don’t run around.”
As the horse racing festival grew more grand each ti, more and more people ca to Ganzhou. Those with business acun saw an opportunity, and around June or July, so rchants and locals would bring furs, dicinal materials, and other agricultural and pastoral products to Ganzhou to exchange and sell.
This gradually ford several small gatherings.
Upon learning about this, Dong Yuanxuan, for ease of managent, designated an area outside Ganzhou City as a gathering square, allowing rchants and locals to trade with peace of mind at a fixed location.
Although the horse racing festival hasn’t started yet, the gathering square is already teeming with people.
Groups of locals and rchants gathered around the square, pitching various tents on the green adows surrounding it.
Xiao Keyan, Dong Jingyi, and Sun Lanxin wandered around the square with great excitent, inquiring and examining anything interesting, entertaining, or unseen.
Just as the three were in high spirits, bursts of commotion and cheers suddenly arose from the crowd.
“Quick, soone is having a martial contest on the central stage of the square.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyan’s eyes lit up, and she dragged Dong Jingyi and Sun Lanxin through the crowd towards the center of the square.
…
“Bang!”
On the stage, a young man in just a white inner garnt easily knocked his opponent down with a sweeping kick.
Seeing his opponent fall, the young man shook his head slightly in disappointnt and lifted his chin, flashing a carefree smile.
That smile carried three parts of disdainful arrogance, three parts of reckless abandon, and four parts of domineering confidence.
“Again!”
The young man shouted deeply, scanning the crowd below.
n are always competitive, and imdiately soone jumped onto the stage to challenge him.
In the crowd, Xiao Keyan watched the young man who once again displayed a dominating stance on the stage with appreciative eyes: “This man’s martial skills are quite impressive!”
