The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Chapter 126 These people are truly audacious and reckless.

Xiao Yuxi carefully took the porcelain figurine, held it high, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's Second Sister!"

The armor that my second sister wore before going to war!

Xie Yaochuan stared at the porcelain figurine, pondering to himself. That unique attire was undoubtedly the style of general's armor exclusive to the Yue Kingdom.

In the Yue Kingdom, Mu Yunnan was indeed the only one qualified to serve as a female general.

However, the Yue Kingdom had strict regulations. Porcelain figurines were different from ordinary folk clay figurines, especially those made by the Imperial Porcelain Factory in Cihe County, which were explicitly restricted to use only for sacrificial purposes.

To turn a female general from the Moon Kingdom into a porcelain figurine is an extremely rare and audacious act. It must be said, Cihe County is truly reckless and audacious…

Xie Yaochuan casually picked up a porcelain figurine with his right hand, carefully examining the official robe on it. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled softly, "Were these all made in the official kilns?"

The vendor's eyes were fixed on Xie Yaochuan's exquisite and gorgeous clothes. His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he hurriedly replied, "Young master, you can rest assured that in our Cihe County, no matter which piece of porcelain you buy, it will definitely be made by the official kiln."

Xie Yaochuan frowned slightly and asked, "But as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any news about firing porcelain figurines recently, does it?"

There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

The vendor chuckled and patted his chest, assuring him, "Oh dear, this young master must be visiting our Cihe County for the first time, right? You can rest assured, these porcelain figurines are indeed made by the official kiln."

"These sacrificial items are actually allowed to be purchased privately?" Xie Yaochuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was not quite a smile, but his eyes concealed a profound meaning that was hard to fathom.

The vendor smiled slightly and shook his head gently, then lowered his voice and said, "These kinds of items have been sought after by various noble families for several years now, and even many outsiders are fond of them. It's safe to say that demand exceeds supply. This batch is freshly made, and you're lucky to have come across it today."

While gently stroking the porcelain figurine in his hand, Xie Yaochuan unhesitatingly took out a heavy gold ingot from his pocket and placed it steadily on the table.

Then, he looked up at the vendor and said slowly, "Order one batch first, and someone will come over later to discuss the details with you."

The vendor's eyes lit up with surprise. He quickly reached out and grabbed the gold ingot, his smile growing even wider, almost reaching his ears.

He nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, sir! Please rest assured and take care! I'll take care of everything!"

Xiao Yuxi held up the porcelain figurine in her hand with a look of suspicion, staring intently at Xie Yaochuan, and asked in confusion, "Is this really for sacrificial purposes? But... how could it be Second Sister?"

Mu Yunchen's gaze also fell on the porcelain figurine of the female general in her hand. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "This is not my second sister, because my second sister would never have her hair styled like this."

On the contrary, Yu Xi in her previous life always tied her hair up in a high ponytail, just like the porcelain figurine in front of her.

The second sister usually uses a hairpin to tie her hair into a bun. If she doesn't have a weapon, she can pull out the hairpin and use it as a weapon.

Xiao Yuxi looked at the porcelain figurine in her hand, "But...but this is Second Sister's armor!"

“It’s the armor of a general from the Moon Kingdom.” Xie Yaochuan’s eyes darkened. “These people are truly audacious.”

Foreigners buying these porcelain figurines and taking them back to their own people to use as burial objects—that's really daring.

"Is this Young Master Xie?" A chubby man stopped him with a smile.

Xie Yaochuan looked at him with a light laugh, "May I ask who you are?"

"I am Wan Peng, the supervisor of imperial porcelain production in Cihe County." Wan Peng had a kind and honest smile on his face, giving people a sense of loyalty and integrity.

"Lord Wan." Xie Yaochuan, holding Yu Xi in his arms, nodded slightly in acknowledgment without saying much.

Wan Peng is quite astute; the county magistrate is probably still drunk, yet this man has come knocking on their door. It seems they've been under his watchful eye since the moment they entered Cihe County.

Originally, the plan was to have the county magistrate act as a go-between, but now it has saved a lot of trouble.

"You flatter me, Lord Xie. Do you plan to investigate cases along the way?" Wan Peng asked cautiously.

He had previously visited many ministers in the capital, so he naturally knew Xie Yaochuan. During his time in the capital, he often saw Xie Yaochuan and his drinking buddies frequenting brothels and pleasure quarters.

Not only that, he would postpone the morning court sessions whenever possible, and even ignored banquets held by the imperial court, disappearing without a trace all day. If it weren't for the Xie and Mu families as his backers, he probably wouldn't have been able to get a position in the Dali Temple.

This person can basically be labeled as someone who is utterly useless.

But his official position is extremely important; if he could be used by them…

His spies overheard that Xie Yaochuan wanted to get a share of the money from the county magistrate. But this guy even managed to pick the wrong person. The county magistrate was just a figurehead in Cihe County. The real deal was Xie Yaochuan, who was a highly profitable figure. Giving away a small portion to curry favor wasn't unreasonable.

Wan Peng looked at him with a smile.

Xie Yaochuan raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sincerely praised, "Wow, that's a great excuse! That's right, that's it. Lord Wan, please do me a favor and spread the word that I'm here on official business, not just for leisure and pleasure."

Seeing his expression, Lord Wan immediately broke into a bright smile and said, "Lord Xie, you are usually so busy with your affairs, yet you still managed to find time to come to our Cihe County. We must treat you well. Why don't you come to my home for a visit?"

"Xixi, do you want to go?" Xie Yaochuan looked down at the cute little girl in his arms, his eyes full of doting affection.

Little Yu Xi held the sugar painting tightly in her left hand and the porcelain figurine in her right. She blinked her big eyes and looked at the kind-looking, chubby uncle in front of her with a confused expression. She asked in a childish voice, "Didn't you say we were going to the magistrate's house?"

Wan Peng smiled warmly and kindly, praising Xiao Yuxi, "So this is the eldest daughter of the Mu family. She is truly beautiful, a natural beauty since childhood. We have a room dedicated to making porcelain; would Miss Mu be interested in taking a look?"

Wan Peng pondered to himself that, judging from the words and actions of these people, this cousin from the Mu family was clearly the most crucial and important person among them.

His spies had mentioned this cousin; Mu Yunnan had personally brought her back, and the Duke's mansion sent her all the best things.
