Gu Shi turned her head to look and saw her daughter and young Master Xiao strolling in.
"Mother, Father, what are you talking about?" Little Xi Tian diligently went forward to help Old Man Yun pack dry leaves.
Old Man Yun coughed lightly and glanced at Little Xi Tian, "Nothing... nothing much. Your mother was worried about your second brother's affairs and was chatting with me!"
Mentioning Yun Er Man, Little Xi Tian was also quite agitated.
How could her second brother, such a smart and rational person, go out selling contraband salt?
Did he think that because the brat lived at home, he could be fearless?
"Father, Mother, second brother won't have any accidents..." Little Xi Tian forced a smile.
Whether anything would happen, she herself was not sure. At this critical juncture, she had to say something auspicious to comfort her parents' emotions.
Xiao Jin Heng also smiled and said, "If Uncle and Aunt are worried, I can have Kong Xing Zhuo go out and look for him!"
If necessary, a few people could be dispatched from the palace.
In any case, Er Man Ge must not make any mistakes.
Gu Shi sighed softly and shook her head, "Not for now. If Si Man can't be found, we'll think of another way."
After speaking, Gu Shi saw her daughter hesitating to speak and young Master Xiao's gaze drifting. She knew they had something to say.
"Is there anything?" Gu Shi asked.
Xiao Jin Heng and Little Xi Tian exchanged a glance and stepped forward, "Auntie, I want to take Xi Tian to the capital tomorrow, so I'm informing you and Uncle in advance."
Gu Shi: "???"
Why were they going to the capital again?
Old Man Yun also looked surprised, "Young Master Xiao must miss your parents! That's right, it's been such a long time again, it's good to go back and see them."
If you're going back, why are you taking my daughter with you?
Old Man Yun did not understand.
Seemingly sensing the elders' confusion, Xiao Jin Heng smiled and explained, "It's like this, Xi Tian plans to open a wine shop in the capital. I believe Uncle and Aunt have already tasted her homemade wine. The taste is sweet and delicious, clear and mellow. If it's sold in a big place, it will definitely be a hit."
Bu Yi coming to ask Little Xi Tian for the winemaking recipe was the best example.
If the wine didn't sell, no one would want the recipe even if it was given away for free.
"So, so daughter is going to the capital this time to open a shop?" Gu Shi asked curiously. Kuai Shu Ge
Oh my, if you calculate it this way, how many shops has Xi Tian opened?
A restaurant, a cheese shop, a wine shop, and I heard she even bought a mahjong parlor in the county town.
She's completely developing in the direction of a landlady.
Imagine, for a girl of Xi Tian's age, how many of them would show their faces in public, make money, and open shops?
"Mother, after the wine shop opens, Brother Jiang Tun will help me manage it, so I'm going to the capital this time mainly to transport the wine," Little Xi Tian said crisply.
To cover her tracks, she had brewed dozens of jars of wine in the utility room in the backyard. In fact, most of them were taken from her space.
Gu Shi listened and seemed hesitant, "But, but Doctor Guan said you can't run around outside now. What if something happens?"
"Auntie need not worry!" Xiao Jin Heng smiled faintly, "This time we'll bring Doctor Guan along too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jie Kong's voice came from outside the door, "Me too, me too, I'm going too!"
Xiao Jin Heng: "..."
You're indispensable everywhere.
Gu Shi blinked her eyes and looked back at Old Man Yun, "Old man, what do you think about this matter?"
She hoped her daughter would go to the capital for a stroll, but with young Master Xiao and Jie Kong, the three of them were just three little buns.
If they encountered human traffickers or bandits, could Kong Xing Zhuo alone handle it?
"Let daughter go!" Old Man Yun lit his pipe again and took a couple of puffs. "It's not good to be cooped up at home all the time. Haven't you noticed? Daughter doesn't like to study. This time when we return to the capital, let's take Mr. Jiang back with us."
Mr. Jiang, who was sitting in the kitchen peeling potatoes for Niu Cai Xia, suddenly sneezed.
When Little Xi Tian heard this, her big eyes instantly lit up, "Parents, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Xiao Jin Heng was also amused and bowed with clasped hands, "I will take good care of Xi Tian!"
As for Mr. Jiang, it would be better to let him stay at the Old Yun family and continue teaching Jing De and Xiao Bao their studies.
Da Shui Village had no teachers since ancient times, and some families did not want to send their children to school. Therefore, after Mr. Jiang arrived, he organized the half-grown boys and girls in the village to study at the Yun family.
Tuition was free, all they had to do was sit down and listen attentively.
Mr. Jiang's bold move was widely praised in Da Shui Village. Every day, he received several baskets of salted duck eggs, small chickens, dried mushrooms, and the like.
There was nothing else in the countryside, but there were plenty of dried goods and wild vegetables.
The children studied at the Yun family for a morning, and in the afternoon, they could go to the fields to help their families work, which did not interfere with each other.
Prefect Qin heard that the little Crown Prince and the little Princess were returning to the capital and also busied himself with packing. "Brother Xiu Han, you should set off as soon as the weather is good and strive to return to your own country before early autumn!"
Prefect Qin stuffed books and change of clothes into his bundle and tied a tight knot. "When you go back, tell your Emperor properly that our two countries should open trade as soon as possible, benefit each other, and let the people live good lives. I heard that your country is rich in tropical fruits, right? They will definitely sell well when they are transported to our country."
The people of Da Liang Kingdom liked to eat fruits, such as sugarcane, apples, oranges, cherries, plums, gooseberries, etc.
But eating the same thing all the time would get tiresome.
Jin Xiu Han smiled thinly after hearing this, "We, we are not called Emperor, we are called... King!"
"Oh, it's all the same thing!" Prefect Qin patted Jin Xiu Han's shoulder, "You killed the giant worm and saved my life. I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Alas, if the timing was right, Prefect Qin really wanted to become sworn brothers with this brother.
Jin Xiu Han chuckled foolishly and said nothing.
He decided to leave Da Shui Village with his subordinates tomorrow and embark on the journey back to his country.
That night, in the main hall.
"Are the things all prepared? Cai Xia, find a few thick clothes for Xi Tian. I heard that it's raining heavily in the capital every day, and the humidity is too heavy. Don't catch a cold or anything," Gu Shi instructed.
Zhao Xiao Jie heard this and smiled as she moved closer to Gu Shi, "Auntie, can I go to the capital to play?"
"Play what?" Old Man Yun glared, "Learn to wash clothes first!"
Play, play, play, all you know is to play, heartless.
Zhao Xiao Jie: "..."
