Facing Mrs. Xiao's angry rebuke, Xiao Yinshuang raised her chin and said, "Grandma, what are you afraid of? We still have Ji Shu."
"Shut up, don't mention him to me." Mrs. Xiao looked down on Jieshu no matter what, but Xiao Yinshuang was fascinated by him.
"Grandma, he is going to participate in the Spring Festival, and you also know his talents." Xiao Yinshuang finished speaking in a low voice. Seeing that the old lady's face turned dark, she stopped talking.
But she felt from the bottom of her heart that Jieshu was extremely talented and knowledgeable, making him a rare pillar of talent.
Different from the deserted Xiao family, Panyun Mountain is much more lively.
Xie Wanyu traveled far away for the first time, so she had to bring a lot of things.
Xiao Zhi originally wanted to go with him, but he was just recovering from his injury and it was really not suitable to travel far. Otherwise, why would Xie Wanyu take him out for a walk? After all, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.
Seeing Xiao Zhi standing there wilting, Xie Wanyu smiled and straightened his clothes, "Okay, when you become an adult in the future, you will need to take care of the family business. Mom's shops are all over the world, and you won't be allowed to do anything when the time comes. Are you going out?"
"My child knows." Xiao Zhi smiled, "It's just that it's rare for me to go out with my mother."
"Next time, next time Shopkeeper Zhong goes to a shop out of town to check the accounts, I will ask him to take you with him, and then my mother will follow, okay?" Xie Wanyu said.
Xiao Zhi then smiled and nodded, "Mother must keep her word."
"Of course I keep my word." Xie Wanyu said.
In the yard, Zhufang was chattering and ordering people to move things. No one was happier than her.
Because Grandma He was old, Xie Wanyu decided to take Zhufang out with her. She rarely traveled far, so she was naturally happy.
In comparison, Dawu is much quieter. He is very strong and has been busy resisting the box.
Zhufang almost seemed to be taking away half of her belongings, "I need to prepare two sets of bedding. My wife is so thin that she cannot use the things from the inn. There are also tea leaves, incense, and hair oil..."
When Xie Wanyu heard her plan, she hurriedly walked out, "Don't listen to her nonsense. You don't need to take the things she said. Just bring two sets of changes of clothes, a makeup bag, and a medicine box."
When you go out, you will inevitably get injured or something will break, so you must prepare medicine.
Besides, her body has been very weak now, so she must take the medicine given to her by Dr. Luo, otherwise she will suffer if she gets sick along the way.
Soon it was time to set off.
Xie Wanyu asked Aunt He to take Cuiyu to Panyun Mountain. Aunt He was very experienced in private affairs, large and small matters, but Cuiyu could take charge of the open hot spring cabin on the other side. After all, she had been following Xie Fengya before. , more or less experienced.
However, both of them were very good talkers. Xie Wanyu was worried that they would be fooled or deceived or bullied, so she asked Xiao Zhi to watch them more often. Then Dawu selected two capable guards for Xiao Zhi.
Compared to the two of them, Xie Wanyu trusts Xiao Zhi more.
Xiao Zhi did not expect that Xie Wanyu would leave this matter to him, so he solemnly agreed and promised that he would do a good job.
Xie Wanyu was relieved to go on the road.
There were two carriages in total, one carriage pulled the goods, and the other carriage had Xie Wanyu and Zhu Fang sitting in it. Shopkeeper Dawu and Zhong followed the carriage with four strong guards.
Shopkeeper Zhong is in charge of all the shops under Xie Wanyu's name, so he often travels all over the country and is very familiar with the routes. He even knows where there are bandits.
With him around, the journey was relatively smooth.
At noon, Dawu bought some steamed buns and roast chicken from the town he passed by, and everyone shared the food before continuing on the road.
In the evening, everyone will stay at the inn.
This was Xie Wanyu's first time staying in an inn.
When I was not married before, even if I visited relatives, I mostly stayed with relatives for a while, and I never went to a particularly far place.
She was somewhat unaccustomed to living in an inn now.
Especially after entering the door of the inn, Xie Wanyu was completely stunned.
Sure enough, going out was not as casual as at home. Xie Wanyu couldn't cover herself with the musty-smelling bedding. She couldn't help but feel that Zhu Fang's consideration was correct.
It's because she doesn't understand the hardships of the journey.
"Madam, just do as my slave said." Zhu Fang said wilfully.
Although she is a servant, because Xie Wanyu treats her servants very well, the quilts she covers are all made of silk, let alone such coarse quilts. She has never covered herself with normal quilts. The quilt she covers is made of cotton. Coated with duck down, it's light and warm.
Xie Wanyu frowned. Fortunately it was spring and it wasn't particularly cold. "Take out your cloak and cover it up."
"Yes." After Zhufang finished speaking, he found the cloak from the bag, "Anyway, we can arrive in Xingcheng tomorrow, so we'll just spend one night."
At night, Xie Wanyu tossed and turned and found it difficult to fall asleep. She felt very uncomfortable sleeping with her clothes on.
Xie Wanyu got up early the next day. She could guarantee that she would not go out next time. Even if she went out again, she would have to bring four or five quilts with her.
Zhufang didn't sleep well either, and help Xie Wanyu wash up listlessly.
Fortunately, the restaurant opposite the inn was pretty good, so everyone continued on their way after eating.
Finally, in the evening, we arrived at Xie's shop.
The shopkeeper was watching at the door. When he saw that the accent was not from Xingcheng, his eyes immediately lit up and he felt that he could make a lot of money.
Xie Wanyu walked out with her hat on and looked at her restaurant. The first floor was a place to eat and the second floor was a place to stay. It was opened when she was young, and it is still second to none in Xingcheng.
"Is this lady working as a professional or staying in a hotel?" the shopkeeper asked.
Xie Wanyu didn't say anything, just stood there and watched. After a while, Shopkeeper Zhong got off the carriage.
"Shopkeeper Zhong, why are you here?" The shopkeeper saw Shopkeeper Zhong and hurried forward to greet him.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, you are getting older and more unrecognizable. Look, this lady is the boss." Shopkeeper Zhong said, stroking his beard.
Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes widened after hearing this, "My boss is here, I'm sorry for Zhou's poor eyesight."
"You are blind." Xie Wanyu said coldly, and walked in with Zhufang's support.
Shopkeeper Zhou wiped his sweat and looked at Shopkeeper Zhong.
"Hurry up and say hello, my boss is not a cruel person." Shopkeeper Zhong reminded.
"Thank you, brother." After shopkeeper Zhou said this, he immediately opened the best private room for Xie Wanyu and asked the waiter to bring the best refreshments.
Xie Wanyu didn't drink tea either, she just opened the window and looked outside.
Shopkeeper Zhong stood next to her, but shopkeeper Zhou could only stand with his head bowed.
After a while, Xie Wanyu said, "Who on earth can let you be deceived? Don't forget, all the shops in Xingcheng are headed by you. Is this how you look after my house?"
Shopkeeper Zhou said hurriedly, "Madam, please don't blame me. That person did hold a blood jade brave, and she also has your handwritten letter with a seal on it."
After saying that, he rummaged around and took out the letter.
After Xie Wanyu received the letter, she frowned.
