    However, the figure shed too quickly and disappeared before she could confirm.


    Gu Yundong put down the curtains and asked the coachman to follow the child to the vige chief’s house.


    Yongfu Vige was a vige with a variety of surnames. Many of the families’ ancestors had fled here. After taking root here for a long time, they slowly developed to their current scale.


    The vige chief’s family name was Chen, and he lived in the center of the vige. His family background was not bad, and the house he lived in was the only green brick house in the vige.


    When the carriage stopped in front of his house, there were already many people following behind it.


    Gu Yundong was shocked when he came down, especially the children. They looked at her eagerly with an expression that said, “Do you have any more questions for me?” It was as if they would be able to earn sweets the moment she opened her mouth.


    The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. After Madam Yang came down with a bag, he turned around and carried Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunke down.


    She asked the coachman to wait for her outside for the time being before knocking on the vige chief’s door.


    Themotion outside the door was naturally heard by the people inside. Hence, just as Gu Yundong raised his hand, a young woman dressed like a marrieddy walked out. “Who are you looking for?”


    As she spoke, she looked at therge carriage behind them.


    Before Gu Yundong could reply, a child behind him said loudly, “They’re looking for the vige chief.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, a tall male voice came from the house. “Let someone in first.”


    The woman moved aside and smiled as she let Gu Yundong in. The moment the door closed, the vigers outside could not see what was going on inside.


    The vige chief’s name was Chen Liang. He was about 40 to 50 years old and was very thin. He did not put on any airs and looked quite easy to talk to.


    Gu Yundong handed over the household registration document. Chen Liang narrowed his eyes and stared at it for a long time before nodding and saying, “The Junior Officer told me before that three families want to settle down here in our vige. The other two families came over a few days ago. I thought you should be here soon.”


    He looked up at Gu Yundong and Madam Yang, who were standing behind her. He found it strange that the person in charge was such a thirteen-year-old girl. However, he lowered his head to look at the document and could not help but frown. “The house owner is Gu Dajiang?”


    “Yes, the owner is my father. It’s just that he got separated from us when we were escaping from the wilderness.”


    “If he went missing, the government usually thinks that he has already…” Chen Liang stopped mid-sentence. Most people who went missing on the way to escape were dead. There were rules in the government for these things, but the document still wrote Gu Dajiang, which meant that this girl had already talked about the matter in the government.


    Since that was the case, he would just follow the documents.


    “Alright, I understand.” Chen Liang closed the document and began to talk about serious matters. “Since you’ve settled in our vige, you’ll be people in the vige from now on. Because you were sent by the imperial court, you don’t have to buy a homestead. You can get a mu ofnd ording to the number in your family. If you think it’s too small, you can buy more.”


    It was because the new emperor was benevolent and gave special treatment to the refugees who were affected this time.


    “However, you can’t choose the location of the homestead. There are only three in total. Moreover, you came thetest and the other two have already chosen. You can go and take a lookter. If you feel that the location is not good and want to buy another ce, you can tell me. If you’re satisfied, then find someone to build the house as soon as possible. It’s almost winter. If you don’t hurry, it’ll be difficult to do. Also, before the house is built, you can stay in the vigers’ houses. You have to give them some rent.”


    “Of course.” Gu Yundong had also considered it..
