The eight people worked hard together, and the carriage was quickly lifted up, and the tilted carriage became stable.
It can be said that the sense of security is overwhelming. Su Wan always feels that with Jiang Yu around, many things become more reliable.
Su Chen and Jiang Yu were soaked in the rain, with no part of their bodies dry.
To be honest, if Jiang Yu hadn't followed them this time, they would have been trapped here.
The people driving outside became Jiang Yu's people. Su Chen and he both sat back in the car, covered in water stains.
Su Wan handed them the clothes and asked them to change into them.
However, the carriage was so big, she had to avoid suspicion, and it was raining heavily outside.
"Wanwan, don't worry, you can go back and change."
Su Chen knew it was inconvenient, so he might as well just keep it wet. Anyway, he didn't care, he had a strong skin.
"That's alright. You'll catch a cold. Change quickly. I won't peek." Su Wan covered her eyes. She looked too good.
Although, Su Chen still felt it was weird, it was just inappropriate anyway.
There was his own sister in the car, and he couldn't change clothes calmly here.
"Then I'll cover my eyes, okay?"
Su Wan covered his face with his baggage, and Su Chen and Jiang Yu smiled unkindly.
Su Chen took her baggage away and joked:
"You're not afraid of holding yourself in. It's really okay, Wan Wan. The weather is not cold, so you won't catch a cold."
Moreover, he and Jiang Yu were both practicing practitioners, so how could they get sick so easily?
The rain was really heavy, and the road was full of potholes, making it difficult to walk. I had to find a place to take shelter from the rain for the time being.
Jiang Yu's secret guards found a cave nearby and took a rest inside to wait for the rain to stop before continuing back to Xiangzhou Mansion.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the cave. A fire was already lit inside. Su Wan got off the carriage and went in to take shelter from the rain. Jiang Yu and Su Chen changed their clothes inside and tidied up the carriage.
The secret guards took out dried meat and wine from nowhere, roasted them and gave them to Su Wan to eat.
"Girl, let's eat some dried meat. There's also wine here."
Su Chen also brought water and pancakes from the carriage. As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Su Wan holding a piece of dried meat and gnawing hard.
The dried meat is very hard and tastes very bland. They often walk outside and eat these to satisfy their hunger.
Su Wan finished eating the jerky in a dignified manner. After finishing the jerky, he went to eat pancakes. The taste of the latter was upgraded to a higher level.
Jiang Yu was wiping his hair. Under the firelight, his face could not be seen clearly, but he found Su Wan's gaze, and he looked at her very generously and smiled at each other.
Su Wan felt a little excited in her heart. She always felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit ambiguous, but often the ambiguity at the end was the most exciting.
The rain only ended in the evening. In order not to spend the night in the mountains, I set off overnight and rushed back to Xiangzhou.
There are many of them, and they are all excellent in martial arts, so they are not afraid of walking at night.
However, this ancient mountain road was no better than the modern mountain road. Su Wan still felt a little scared in the dark carriage. Hearing the faint howling of wolves outside, it was easy for him to think wildly.
But fortunately, Su Chen and Jiang Yu were also with her in the carriage. She would still be very scared if she were alone. She was also a little girl and didn't have any special skills.
Finally, it was a safe journey to Xiangzhou City. However, the city gate was closed in the middle of the night. There were soldiers standing guard at the gate. Jiang Yu's secret guard held a waist tag. They saw it and let him go.
According to the usual practice, he would never be released at this time. Otherwise, Jiang Yu also had status in Kyoto. Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend the officials in Xiangzhou.
The three of them returned home in the middle of the night. There was no concierge at home, so Su Chen climbed over the wall and ran in to open the door.
Su Wan thought that it was time to hire a few servants to guard the door. Otherwise, in such a big house, thieves would sneak in and steal without even knowing it.
If you just throw something away, it's fine, but you're just worried about people getting hurt.
When Su's mother got up after a good sleep, she found that her son and daughter were back, but she didn't hear any movement at all. If she hadn't seen that the horses in the horse pen had been tied up, she might still have been kept in the dark.
It rained so heavily yesterday. Originally, my uncle had to go to Qingyuan County to deliver goods, so he was delayed for a day. Fifth brother Su Yi also did not leave the stall because of the heavy rain.
In the past few days when Su Wan was away, he had become famous on the street of Chapeng. People looking for his portrait had to queue up every day, and the queue had been waiting for several days.
There were even daughters from wealthy families who came to him with scrolls to draw portraits of their whole bodies, similar to those of ladies.
Su Yi is also very smart. He charges three taels of silver for such grand drawings.
For rich people, three taels of silver is nothing at all.
When the daughters of these wealthy families reach an age, it is time to discuss marriage. If they choose a suitable family to discuss the marriage, the two parties can directly skip the meeting. They can first submit the portrait to each other and then arrange a meeting if they feel good about it.
Su Yi's paintings are vivid and expressive, almost capturing the essence of a person's appearance.
Su Wan had been away for ten days, and he had already earned hundreds of taels of silver.
After painting for many days in a row, I took a day off from the heavy rain yesterday. Today, the sky is still gray. Seeing that Su Wan is back, Su Yi is ready to take one more day of rest. He wants to take her shopping.
Su Wan was also about to go out. She brought her banknotes to buy enough food to put at home.
One stone per bucket is equal to one liter, one stone of rice is equal to one hundred and twenty kilograms, one bucket is equal to twelve kilograms, and one liter is equal to one point and two kilograms.
Before the war, one stone of rice cost almost ten taels of silver. Once the war started, the price would double. Xiangzhou was relatively stable, and in some areas, the price even more than tripled.
Su Wan rushed to buy enough food to store at home before the price went up. Firstly, he felt at ease, and secondly, he didn't need to spend more money.
With such a large family, we need to prepare at least 30 kilograms for three years. The granary in the house has been renovated. The wood used and the location are the most suitable for storing rice. It can prevent mice and moisture, so it will not be a problem for three years. , it’s just that new rice has become old rice, and there is a difference in taste.
In addition, the prices of flour, grain and oil will also increase, so I have to buy some to prepare. Su Wan is also planning to feed the pigs and sheep in a separate area in the backyard.
Su Yi followed her to the street. The fifth brother was so mysterious that Su Wan didn't know what he was going to do. He pulled her directly into the clothing store.
"Wan Wan, fifth brother has made money. I want to be the first to buy you a beautiful skirt. We will buy all the skirts you like. We will also buy a few for my mother, and my aunt and cousin Qingqing will also buy them."
The fifth brother was exposed to rain and dew, and the women in the family took care of him.
It was not easy for him to get the money. He painted it all by himself, which took a lot of energy and concentrated for a long time.
"Fifth brother, why do you need to spend so much money? The money you earn should be saved properly."
But Su Yi didn’t think so:
"Wan Wan, this is the first time in my life that I have made money. It is of great significance. It is precisely because you gave me the right guidance, so please don't be polite to me."
