The group of them happened to meet at the entrance of Jiangmi Lane.
The person driving Zhou Caijing's carriage was still Zhou Zi. When he saw the person, his eyes lit up, and then he slowed down and shouted to Li Jun on the opposite side.
Then he turned back and shouted into the carriage: "Third Miss, the young master and young lady of the Li family have come to Beijing."
Zhou Caijing knew that Zhou Zi called Li Jun the young master of the Li family. When she heard this, she opened the curtain and looked outside.
When he saw the person driving the car on the opposite side, who happened to be Li Jun, he raised a bright smile on his face and shouted to him: "Cousin!"
Li Jun was not familiar with Zhou Caijing, so when he heard this, he just nodded towards her.
Wang Can, on the other hand, poked his head out of the carriage upon hearing the sound.
"Caijing!"
Zhou Caijing subconsciously glanced at her belly and shouted: "Cousin-in-law!"
Wang Can knew that Zhou Caijing was not as close to him and his wife as Sister Yuan and the others.
But she is a contented person, and she is grateful that every time someone gives something to Sister Yuan, their share is indispensable.
Seeing her appear here, followed by three extraordinarily large carriages, he asked: "Cai Jing, are you here to see my sister?"
"Yes! My sister said that the vegetables are ready for sale. I asked Dong Liu's family to come over and buy them. Dong Liu's family said that they would have to see it in person before making a decision."
Having said that, Wang Can knew what was going on when he saw the carriage following behind.
He immediately heard her say: "Then Caijing, you go first, we will follow closely. We just happened to be here, and we can also help collect the vegetables."
Wang Can knew that Li Yuan kept stocking seasonal vegetables in the space, and also learned from the letter he received that she had built a large greenhouse in Zhou Caijing's village.
She planned to wait until she entered Xie's house, send Cai Wei and others away, and let Li Zheng go directly to Zhuangzi's greenhouse with Zhou Caijing and others to help.
By leaving a few knowledgeable people around, they don't have to worry about anything going wrong, whether it's collecting the food or taking it out from the space.
Zhou Caijing really didn't have much time to waste. When she heard this, she put down the carriage curtain and led Liu Dong's family ahead.
The door of Xie's house was open. When Zhou Caijing arrived, Old Man Li didn't need to call anyone. Li Yuan seemed to have calculated the time and welcomed her out in person.
"Sister, Boss Liu said that you need to see the dishes first before setting a price."
"Okay, I got up early in the morning and picked some. You guys can take a look first."
With that said, Li Yuan nodded with a smile to the fat and fair-looking Liu Dongjia, and then walked ahead to lead the way.
Zhou Caijing reached out and took her arm: "Sister, I just met my cousin and sister-in-law at the entrance of the alley. The Liu Dong family is not in a hurry. Do you want to stand here and wait for a while?"
Li Yuan only knew when Li Jun and others left Lanxia City, but did not know when they would arrive.
When she heard Zhou Caijing's words, her eyes lit up a lot at that moment, but she could not move forward at the same time.
"Caijing, I'm waiting for Junzi and the others here. You can take Dong Liu's family to the living room first. The vegetables you just picked are all placed there."
Zhou Caijing regarded herself as half the owner of this house. After hearing Li Yuan's words, she responded: "Okay! Let's discuss the price of the vegetables first after Mr. Liu's family has seen it."
"become!"
As soon as Zhou Caijing finished speaking, without even leaving Liu Dong's house, the voices of Li Jun and Wang Can rang at the door.
"Uncle Li, long time no see!"
Li Yuan heard the sound and came over.
"Junzi, Canniang, Zhengzi!"
After she called someone, her eyes fell on Wang Can's abdomen.
Seeing that her belly was flat and looked no different from before, he blinked in confusion.
When Wang Can saw Li Yuan, he seemed to have found a backbone.
She stepped forward and held Li Yuan's arm with one hand, touching her abdomen with the other, and said, "Sister, I'm already four months old and I'm starting to show my pregnancy. But it's cold in Beijing and I'm wearing a lot of clothes, so I can't tell yet. "
Li Jun explained happily: "Sister, the main reason is that Canniang reacted badly. Some time ago, she vomited everything she ate and lost a lot of weight. If it weren't for the milk, I wouldn't know what to do."
Wang Can was worried about Zhou Caijing bringing people to collect the vegetables, so he changed the subject directly: "Sister, Caijing brought people to collect the vegetables, let's do the serious things at hand first. As for reminiscing about the past, we can do it anytime, there is no rush. Later."
"become!"
Li Yuan finished speaking and looked at Li Zheng: "Zhengzi, the third uncle, the third aunt, and the third brother and sister are all in Caijing's village. Would you like to rest here for a day or two first, or go to the village with Caijing and the others later?" "
Li Zheng hadn't seen his mother and daughter-in-law for a long time, and he was really worried.
In addition, Li Jun was rushing on the journey to Beijing, so he was not that tired.
Hearing this, he said: "Go to Zhuangzi. They should be collecting vegetables there, and I can still help."
With that said, they watched Old Man Li help drive the carriage to the stables, and then headed to the living room together.
Wang Can always held Li Yuan's arm. As she walked, she said: "Sister, when we came here, Uncle Hua gave me two hundred taels. This silver was given to you by everyone in Lijia'ao. Uncle Hua said that houses in the capital were expensive, and that his brother-in-law would be an official in the future, so it would be a shame not to have a house. He also told his brother-in-law to concentrate on preparing for the exam next year, and not to worry about money. He also said that he should not waste time writing speeches just for money. I may have collected money that I shouldn’t have collected.”
As she spoke, she took out a navy blue patched, light-looking purse from her sleeve pocket.
"The two hundred taels of silver notes here were collected from house to house in Lijia'ao. If there was not enough, the clan would supplement it. Originally, what everyone collected together was either copper plates or broken silver. The clan was afraid that I would not be able to bring it with them. I specially asked someone to go to the city and go to the bank to exchange the banknotes."
Li Yuan held the two hundred taels and felt that the light purse was as heavy as a thousand catties.
She never expected that not only did the Li clan members not ask them to borrow money, but they were worried that they would have a bad life and pooled money together to give them.
She knew very well that everyone didn't have much money in their hands.
When they first arrived in Lanxia City, they had to buy a lot of things, and all their money had to be spent wisely.
Wang Can seemed to understand Li Yuan's inner feelings and said, "Sister, please accept it. Uncle Hua and the others said that you two have contributed money and effort for everyone and owe a lot of favors. Now everyone has been settled properly. You also get wages every month, so your life is not much different. On the contrary, you and your brother-in-law, because you used to spend all the money to buy things for everyone, but now in the capital, there are many places to use money, so you are afraid that you will be treated badly. You accept Now, they feel at ease."
Li Jun knew Li Yuan's situation and kept silent.
Li Zheng, who didn't know anything at the side, continued what Wang Can said: "Yes, sister, you can accept it. Everyone in the clan now has food, a new house, and goes to work every month. The salary and living expenses are not much different. On the contrary, you and your brother-in-law probably don’t have much money on hand. Although you wrote back and said that you bought the house of the third lady of Zhenguo Hou Mansion in the capital, everyone knows what happened. It’s nothing. It’s just given to you by the Marquis Mansion because they saw that your life was difficult.”
