He has a spatial ability and saves three children on his escape route.

Chapter 185 He Ling'er

At Wen Yuxia's suggestion, Xia Yichen also built workshops in various prefectures of the Great Xia Dynasty, where distributors of brown sugar, pills, and honeycomb briquettes directly purchased their goods.

While saving on long-distance transportation costs, it also arranged for the wounded and disabled veterans from various border areas of the Great Xia to work in workshops.

On the way back to the capital, Xia Yichen was overjoyed at the thought of not having to pay out of his own pocket to support the wounded veterans at the border. His joy led him to think of giving a gift to the meritorious hero, Wen Yuxia. "Mu Hua, what gift do you want? I'll give it to you."

The Crown Prince himself had taken the initiative to offer her a gift—a rare opportunity indeed. Thinking of her four younger cousins ​​who were farming at home, Wen Yuxia, for the first time ever, made an outrageous request. With a broad smile, she said, "Four positions as constables."

Xia Yichen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "The gift you want is very special, but since I have promised you a gift, I must give it to you, and give you the best of everything."

After careful consideration, Xia Yichen decided that working as a clerk in the county government was not as good as serving in the Imperial Guard. With An Chiyu protecting him, it would be much better than working in the county government.

After finding out who Wen Yuxia intended to give the spot to, Xia Yichen wrote a letter to An Chiyu that night at the inn, instructing An Chiyu to recruit the villagers of Gujia Village in Fan County, namely Wen Yunhe, Wen Yunyang, Wen Yunhu, and Wen Yunyu, into the Imperial Guard Camp.

Although he hadn't returned to the capital for the past three years, Wen Yunhong wrote to Wen Yuxia regularly, and Wen Yuxia was aware of the major events that had occurred in the family.

The first person is Wen Yunhong. He has consistently ranked high in the imperial examinations, starting with the preliminary examinations, and even placed in the top three in the palace examinations. Because he was younger and more handsome than the other two, he was personally selected by the emperor as the third-ranking scholar. He is now a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, a fifth-rank official.

The second event was that after Wen Yunhai passed the imperial examination, he took his newlywed wife to Wei County to assume his post. Wei County had gold mines, and the position of magistrate of Wei County was highly coveted; many people in the capital were vying for this official position.

The Emperor appointed Wen Yunhai as magistrate of Wei County because of his meritorious service in teaching the new algorithms to the people of Great Xia with the lecture team. Of course, Xia Yichen also played a significant role behind the scenes.

The third thing that upset everyone in the Wen family was that Wen Yunqing was in love with Wu Qianwen, the only daughter of Wu Junxiu, a wealthy merchant in Fancheng, and insisted on marrying her. However, Wu Junxiu only wanted sons-in-law to live with him, not daughters. Wen Yunqing married into the Wu family out of love.

As a time traveler, Wen Yuxia believes everyone has the right to choose their own life. Upon learning of Wen Yunqing's marriage into the family, she wasn't upset at all; instead, she praised Wen Yunqing for daring to pursue true love.

Now that her cousins ​​who farmed have found good jobs, Wen Yuxia no longer worries about the Wen family members in Gujia Village and can focus her attention on Wen Yunhong.

"Brother, Hong'er is of marriageable age. Please find him a good match," Wen Yuxia said, her voice tinged with reluctance.

The younger brother she had raised with great difficulty was about to become someone else's husband. From now on, she would be the only mistress in the vast princess's mansion. How desolate it would be.

"Proposing a marriage for Hong'er, Mu Hua, have you forgotten that you are two years older than Hong'er?" Xia Yichen felt extremely guilty when he mentioned this.

Back then, Wen Yuxia said she wouldn't consider marriage before she turned eighteen. After she turned eighteen, Xia Yichen tried to match her with Li Jiarui, but Wen Yuxia disagreed with the Emperor's arranged marriage, insisting that they should only discuss marriage after they had developed feelings for each other.

The flood in Xinchuan County happened suddenly, and after arriving in Xinchuan County, he was busy with the water conservancy project of Daxia, which delayed him for three years. Xia Yichen continued with some guilt, "Muhua, it's time for you to get married."

Wen Yuxia turned to look at Xia Yichen and smiled, "Yes, I should get married too." Other women are twenty-two years old and their children are already old enough to run errands. It's really not right for her to still be single.

Not long after returning to the capital, Nangong Wenrui arrived. This time, he brought a visiting card to the Princess's residence, along with his cousin He Ling'er.

The once-in-a-decade grand competition among aristocratic families is just three months away. Nangong Wenrui has handed over all his business dealings to trusted subordinates and is preparing for the competition.

He Ling'er was naturally lively, and having her live alone in the Nangong family's mansion in the capital was torture for her. Nangong Wenrui had many friends in the capital, but Wen Yuxia was the person he trusted most.

"Mu Hua, my cousin has taken over the Nangong family's business in the capital, and I'd like her to stay at the Princess's residence," Nangong Wenrui said directly, without any formalities.

Nangong Wenrui and Wen Yuxia are business partners, and Nangong Wenrui has helped Wen Yuxia a lot over the years. Let alone staying for three to five months, even a year or two would be fine with Wen Yuxia.

"Butler Tang, please take Miss He to the backyard to have a look. There are some vacant courtyards; she can stay in whichever one she likes," Wen Yuxia said softly.

He Ling'er smiled brightly, "Thank you for taking me in, Princess." Hehe, on the way to the capital, Nangong Wenrui had mentioned Wen Yuxia the most; now she finally saw her in person, and she was indeed beautiful.

Nangong Wenrui's hesitant expression made Wen Yuxia's eyes ache. To ease the pain, Wen Yuxia said softly, "Wenrui, just say what you want to say."

The grand competition, held once every century, determines the ranking of the major families. For hundreds of years, the Nangong family has consistently held the top spot. Nangong Wenrui wanted to express his feelings to Wen Yuxia before the competition but felt it inappropriate.

He slowly began to speak, "Mu Hua, I do have something to tell you, but the once-in-a-century grand competition is about to begin. It's not too late to tell you after the competition."

Wen Yuxia said softly, "Wenrui, just do your best and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

After seeing Nangong Wenrui off at the gate of the mansion, Wen Yuxia watched his departing figure with a sigh. Being the young master of the Nangong family is not easy; with great power comes great responsibility.

The grand family competition was to be held at the black market. The afternoon before the competition, Gu Ling'er asked Wen Yuxia in a strange tone if she wanted to go to the black market to watch the competition live. Wen Yuxia, of course, wanted to go.

So Gu Ling'er led Wen Yuxia to a small grove on the outskirts of the capital. "Princess, shall we wait here?" Wen Yuxia asked with some surprise, "Isn't the next entrance to the black market in the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom? Will waiting here be of any use?"

Gu Ling'er smiled and said, "Only five families in the Great Xia Dynasty are qualified to participate in the Grand Family Competition. Besides the Nangong family, there are the Yang family of Luochuan, the He family of Duancheng, the Shen family of Yunxi, and the Chang family of Nanyang. They will all enter the black market from here. We can't go wrong waiting here."

Seeing the four groups of people running towards them, He Ling'er chattered on, "Princess, the man riding the white horse at the very front is Yang Xuankai, the next head of the Yang family. Don't let his refined appearance fool you, he's a formidable fighter!"

The one in black, the one riding the chestnut horse, is Chang Jisheng, the young master of the Chang family. The alluring woman is the eldest daughter of the He family.

That very effeminate man is named Shen Xiaocen. He is the only direct descendant of the Shen family and the next head of the family. Alas, the direct line of the Shen family is probably doomed with him.”

No sooner had He Ling'er finished gossiping than four groups of people rushed up to her and Wen Yuxia. Yang Xuankai said with a look of surprise, "Ling'er, we meet again!"

He Ling'er said with a mischievous smile, "A day apart feels like three autumns. Young Master Yang, have you missed me? I've been missing you terribly!"

Yang Xuankai's face flushed red instantly, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ling'er, you, you shouldn't talk nonsense, there are outsiders here!"
