After returning from Xiangyang Farm, Liu Anan arranged everything at home one by one and got ready to go to the Chu family.
Xiao Erjin has completely renovated it, and Xiao Muyang is learning skills from his master and studying in a school, so he still stays at Liuzhai in Kaoshan Village.
With Aunt Hua and the master taking care of her, there is no need to worry. When Mu is off, Sixi will send Mu Yang to the county.
Crazy grandpa moved in the mistress, and naturally the son-in-law-to-be followed him.
The house was decorated according to Liu Anan's drawings, and the staff was hired.
Qiu Ying and a few waiters were responsible for setting up the front hall, and Liu Yue and two pastry chefs were responsible for the back kitchen.
The pastry chef was hired by Lian Sheng, who had signed a death contract. These two people were once chefs in the house of the Marquis, and they were rescued by the head of the family.
Liuji Duowei Xiaofang opened quietly.
Liu Anan did not promote it in a big way, but only served a few kinds of pastries, biscuits, bread, honey cakes, and bean paste rolls, and used these snacks to explore the way.
Especially bread, which is really not available here.
After arranging things at home, Liu Anan took Leopard, Cuihua and Liu Xiang and quietly left Linxian County with his sworn brother Chu Sanshao.
Songjiang Mansion is not close to Linxian County, and it takes half a month to travel by carriage. The third young master has a guard.
Both Leopard and Cuihua have great skills. In addition, the border has been stabilized by the imperial court in recent years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so the journey is very peaceful.
Around noon that day, the group entered the territory of Songjiang Mansion.
Before they had gone far, several fast horses came in front. The person leading the way was known to Third Young Master Chu as Ojiang, the captain of the guard next to his father.
When Dajiang saw the third young master, he quickly got off his horse to greet him.
Dajiang brought people here because it was the intention of Magistrate Chu to welcome his old son and his young daughter.
It's still some distance away from Fucheng. We can reach Fucheng in the afternoon tomorrow.
Third Young Master Chu and Dajiang were very familiar with each other. After Dajiang and his party saw their young lady, they rode horses to protect them in front of and behind the carriage.
In the evening, go to a nearby inn to rest overnight, and then continue on your way after packing up early the next morning.
When it was almost time, which was equivalent to about three o'clock in the afternoon, the group successfully entered Fucheng.
Songjiang Prefecture is a prosperous place, and the city is very lively. The spacious street can accommodate three carriages walking side by side. There are many shops on the street and people are coming and going on the street.
"An'an, go back to the house first. Third brother will take you out for a walk tomorrow." Third Young Master Chu said riding beside the carriage.
The car curtain opened, revealing a bright little face.
"Okay, I'll listen to Third Brother."
Third Young Master Chu grinned widely, feeling delighted.
Dajiang sent someone to go back to the mansion first. After walking for two quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of Chu Mansion.
Master Chu and his wife were already waiting at the door. Third Young Master Chu got off his horse and quickly stepped forward to pay his respects to his parents.
The carriage behind slowly stopped. Cuihua and Liu Xiang jumped out of the carriage first, and Leopard placed the footstool.
The car door was pushed open, and a pretty little girl leaned out of the car.
Wearing a pink dress, she has a sweet smile on her delicate and beautiful face. Her clear eyes seem to be shining with stars. There are not too many decorations on her head, only a snow-white hosta.
The sun shone on the little girl through the gaps in the leaves, and the little girl was like an elf flying out of the sunlight.
Mrs. Chu raised her lips instantly, and even Mr. Chu sighed secretly, what a smart little girl.
"An'an has met her adoptive father and adoptive mother." Liu Anan stepped forward and greeted Chu's father and Chu's mother in greeting.
Mrs. Chu stretched out her hand to pull up Liu An'an and said affectionately: "Finally, I've been waiting for you to come. Your adoptive father and I have been thinking about you. How hard has it been along the way?"
"Let the adoptive father and adoptive mother worry. The third brother took good care of her. My daughter is not tired at all. On the contrary, my third brother has worked hard for many days."
"Let the children in quickly." Master Chu reminded.
Mrs. Chu smiled, rolled her eyes at Mr. Chu and said, "We have three sons. The eldest and the second have given birth to several naughty boys. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, our Chu family finally has a good daughter. Don't you know? How rare I am, haha."
Mrs. Chu was really happy from the bottom of her heart.
Eyes are the windows to the soul, and she could tell at a glance that this little girl's eyes were really bright, without any pretense, and exuding sincerity and grandeur.
The group arrived at the main courtyard.
Entering the main hall, Liu Anan formally kowtowed to Father Chu and Mother Chu.
Mrs. Chu asked Liu Anan to rest first. After all, after all the hard work of traveling, staying in an inn was not as comfortable as at home. She was busy and had to arrange meals for the evening.
Liu Anan agreed obediently, and Mrs. Chu asked her personal maid Yuezhi to accompany the young lady to Fuguangyuan.
As soon as he entered Fuguangyuan, Liu Anan saw that his adoptive father and mother were really caring and even installed a small swing for him.
The room is filled with pink, and there are no less than twenty sets of clothes in the wardrobe, as well as a box full of jewelry, all of which are very exquisite.
Yuezhi said with a smile: "Miss, these are all hand-picked and prepared by the madam. The madam said that if the lady doesn't like it, we will replace it."
"My foster mother really put in the effort, I really like it!"
Yuezhi looked at the young lady's shining eyes, and she believed that the young lady liked the madam's arrangement from the bottom of her heart.
She was a little worried before. After all, the young lady is a girl from the village. She has never seen much of the world, so she may be smarter, and she happened to fall into the eyes of the old lady.
Today, I saw that the young lady's words and deeds were no worse than those of young ladies from wealthy families, and were even better. Yuezhi felt happy and naturally became a little closer to Liu An'an.
"Cuihua, bring out a set of skin care products for sister Yuezhi." Liu Anan told Cuihua.
Soon, Cuihua took out an exquisite wooden box from the box she brought with her.
"Sister Yuezhi, this is a set of skin care products for women, including facial soap, rose water, and rose balm. After using the rose water, apply a little balm on your face to make your skin tender and smooth. , and it smells delicious, this is lip balm..."
Liu Anan carefully introduced the usage and efficacy of each item to Yuezhi.
Yuezhi listened very carefully, and she felt that her heart was about to jump out.
My third young master’s shop sells this stuff, and a piece of beauty soap can be sold for one or two silver dollars in Fucheng!
It's like grabbing money, the rich ladies and ladies are lining up to buy.
Liu Anan knew that Yuezhi was the most useful girl to her adoptive mother, and that Yuezhi would never marry after combing her hair, so her adoptive mother trusted Yuezhi very much.
Besides, she was attracted to Yue Zhi for the first time, so she gave Yue Zhi a complete set of products.
Yuezhi thanked the young lady and returned to the main courtyard with the gift given by the young lady.
In the main courtyard, Mr. Chu and his wife were in a daze looking at the gift brought by Liu Anan!
Not to mention other gifts, the couple felt dizzy just looking at this box of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.
Especially since Chu San'er said, you don't have anywhere to buy it if you have money!
This was dug by An An from the deep mountains and old forests. It is priceless!
Mr. Chu whispered: "Last year, when Empress Dowager Li celebrated her birthday, the Li family presented a Ganoderma lucidum, which was said to have been bought for ten thousand taels of silver. I was attending the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet with my father in Beijing, and I had the honor to take a look at it. Its appearance was compared to its size. This one is a little worse, just one plant.”
Mrs. Chu secretly looked around and whispered: "We An'an gave us six plants! There are also ginseng!"
"How hard it will be to search for this child in the deep mountains and old forests. How dangerous it is to look for him in the deep mountains and old forests!"
"Yes, this kid is so considerate!"
Third Young Master Chu couldn't help laughing when he saw his father and mother talking quietly like thieves.
"Why are you laughing? I don't know how much I feel for your sister!"
Mrs. Chu slapped her over.
"That's it! How much risk does a little girl take to get into the old forest!"
Lord Chu also slapped him in the face.
Poor Third Young Master Chu was fooled. It seems that the Third Young Master's status will be worrying in the future!
