Chapter 204 Traveling Far Away
Wang Jinyi thought: It was Ouyang Wenche who arranged Feng Jie and Feng Mei to be with him in his grandfather's study in the old house. I'm afraid the Ouyang family has already known about this, and now I should report it to my grandfather.
So he stood up without hesitation, walked to the table, wrote a note and handed it to Sister Feng.
"Sister Feng, take this note back to the old house and find grandfather. Let grandfather make the rest!"
This arrangement made by Wang Jinyi gave herself some peace and quiet, but it disturbed Ouyang Wenche, Wei Wuji and grandfather in the old house and made them unable to sleep all night.
The next morning, Wang Jinyi slept well all night, got up easily, stretched with her fist raised, jumped out of the room beautifully, and started a day of study happily.
The three people who had been holding an emergency meeting in the old house of the Wang family for a whole night decided on a basic strategy when the sky was just getting light. Wei Wuji continued to report to the East Palace, ostensibly sending out the Wang family guards to continue following up on the matter of the Cao family's private mining.
However, the Wang family guards who were sent out were all guards of the Eastern Palace, and the personnel also changed from the original Feng sisters to the remaining eighteen people of Feng Yi team.
The Feng sisters were simply transferred back to Wang Jinyi to continue serving as military maids.
Wang Jinyi watched as her grandmother arranged for the people in the old house to pack up the items in Yongxing Lane and bring them back to the old house in batches.
Wang Jinyi knew that her parents would leave in three days.
Wang Jinlai finally returned to Yongxing Lane in the evening and reported to the young lady:
"Miss, Wang Baochen has already arrived at Kushui Mountain. He hired two carriages and is taking stones and some herbs from Kushui Mountain back to the city. He will probably arrive tomorrow."
"Miss, this is the reply letter Wang Jindong wrote to you."
Wang Jin said as he flipped out a short letter and handed it to the young lady. Then he opened the bamboo tube he was carrying and took out a few sheets of drawing paper.
"This is the first phase of the construction plan of the villa that Fuling drew for you."
Then he lowered his head and took out a few small wrapped things from the bamboo basket.
"This is the sample of the shoulder bag that Zhao brought for you. There are a few more that I didn't bring back. I will send them back with the carriage tomorrow."
As he spoke, he put the things on Zhu Yu's tray.
Wang Jinyi looked at Wang Jinlai, who was running around and covered in dust, and felt that this man could indeed do something and might be of great use in the future.
I remember that before Wang Jinlai set out, I clearly told him to return as soon as possible. It can be seen that he was extremely busy in Ku Shui Mountain, and he finally got back after rushing on the road.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinyi said:
"Wang Jin, I have something for you to do on your own this time. It may not go smoothly, and the funds are not sufficient at the moment, but you have to do it."
As Wang Jinyi spoke, he wrote a note and handed it to Wang Jinlai. On the note was written: Investigate the county town and the prefectural capital to see if it is possible to open a Taisheng Rice Shop, with a scale similar to the Xunyang Prefecture Store.
"After you have completed these letters, I will send someone to investigate and assist you in opening the store. I will send someone to contact you for follow-up business. You need to report to your mother when you go to the county and prefectural cities to investigate the market in the early stage, and the expenses will be paid by me."
When Wang Jin came out of the small accounting office, he was holding two notes in his hand. One was the future arrangement given to him by the young lady, which was an investigation before opening the store, and the other was a note to collect cash from Qingyu.
Needless to say, Wang Jinyi is very busy and never stops. In sharp contrast, Ouyang Wenche has been unusually free these two days.
The guards packed their belongings and set out in batches. Wei Wuji arranged the personnel and left Feng Yi team to continue following up on matters concerning the copper mine. The rest of the guards with the character Feng had already set out to serve as advance guards along the way. Only the sixteen people with the character Yun were left behind to act as grooms, and were accompanied by servants for protection.
Ever since he met Wang Jinyi that day, Wei Wuji had a serious talk with Ouyang Wenche, expressing with great regret that if Wang Jinyi were a man, he would definitely have achieved something, but it was a pity! …
But Ouyang Wenche just smiled and didn't express his opinion. Wei Wuji didn't understand what the young master meant, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just found that the young master had been worried since that day, and he often stared blankly!
The housekeeper Wang Ping'an finally came back. After his parents met Wang Ping'an in the front yard, they sped up the transportation of various items in batches.
In the evening before departure, the parents would sit with the brother and sister until very late. The family would sit together and chat when they had nothing to do.
Wang Jinyi accidentally heard a place name from her mother, which was called Qiannan.
While listening to his parents' instructions, Wang Jinyi wondered where the Qiannan Prefecture he knew in his previous life was. It must be at least a thousand kilometers away! The road conditions in this life were not good, so it might take longer to walk?
"Mother, will the journey take long?"
"Wang Ping'an rode back and forth on horseback. It is said that it would take more than a month to travel by carriage!"
"Ah?!" Wang Jinyi exclaimed.
It is totally unimaginable to walk on the road for so long. Isn't life wasted on the road?
Wang Wendong asked: "Mom and Dad, can you come back and spend the New Year with us?"
The father did not answer, and the mother's eyes were red. Wang Jinyi felt that this was not a good question, so he interrupted:
"I'll tell you a dream, okay?"
The mother lowered her head and said nothing, the father smiled but said nothing, the brother strongly agreed, Wang Jinyi held his chin, rolled his eyes, and began to speak:
"There is a big tree in Lingyun Temple, which bears many fruits..."
The mother continued with a smile:
"When the fruit grows up, it becomes a little monk, and when it grows up, it becomes a big monk..."
My brother continued, "When you get old, you become an old monk?!"
With the brother's shout, he became an old monk. The mother and her two sons all burst out laughing. Finally, Wang Jinyi rolled into her mother's arms with a smile, and her brother stomped his feet on the ground with a smile. The three of them laughed together.
The father was probably not paying full attention to the story. He just watched the mother and her two children laughing together. He just smiled at the rare harmony in front of him...
No matter how reluctant they were, the day for their parents to leave finally arrived. The family at No. 9 Yongxing Lane had breakfast together, and the grandparents arrived with a convoy.
The convoy was divided into two parts. One part was for those who were traveling with their parents. It was a huge team of 10 cars, accompanied by more than 10 servants.
Following behind were two horse-drawn carriages, which were carrying the grandparents, Wang Jinyi and her brother, who were seeing them off.
The convoy slowly left Xunyang City. Wang Jinyi and his brother stood outside the carriage, watching their mother stick her head out of the window and wave at them.
The mother turned her head to the car window from time to time. Wang Jinyi knew that her mother was wiping her tears. The father never stuck his head out until they arrived at Shili Pavilion, when everyone dismounted and said their final goodbyes.
The parents knelt down to worship their grandparents, the brother and sister knelt down to worship their parents, and said goodbye reluctantly. The mother covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed. Wang Jinyi threw herself into her mother's arms, but bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.
The elder brother was sensible and held back his eyes until they were red, trying not to let the tears flow out. The father said nothing, but held the mother tightly and led her into the carriage.
Finally, the father stuck his head out of the car window and waved to his two children:
"You must grow up well and be filial to your grandparents on behalf of your parents!"
