Now that this matter was mentioned, Lu Fenghe called everyone over so that they could pack their things in advance.
Bi He was worried about being left alone. If she was just in charge of the yard, Bi He would be able to do it. But when she went out and Jin Bao and the others came back, why would they hand over some account books and hand in some notes? These things, Bi He
He Ke can't do it.
Lu Fu took Liu Ye'er to stay in Piling, Qing Ling followed the boat to Kyoto, Cuizhi and Bi He took Xiang Ya'er to Kuizhou with Lu Fenghe.
As for the little girl who went to Kuizhou to serve as a rough messenger, she didn't take any of them with her.
Once the personnel have been arranged, those who should collect things should be prepared to put them away, so as to avoid being blinded when they need to be used.
Liu Rui took Jin Bao and loaded the ship as planned and set off.
The day before Jinbao and the others set out, someone came from Jiangning Mansion to ask for an audience.
Lu Fenghe guessed that it was probably someone from Shen Nanxun's side, and asked the concierge to take him to the flower hall in the front yard to sit down.
Two people came, and they registered the North-South Goods Store in Jiangning. One was older, with a beard, and his name was Sun Gui, who said he was the shopkeeper of the North-South Goods Store. The other was younger, looked very thin, and even had no hair.
Sun Gui's identity is Wang Liang, a manager at the North and South Goods Store.
Lu Fenghe didn't ask any more questions. Since Shen Nanxun sent them here, he must have clearly explained what should be explained.
Sun Gui saluted respectfully and then told Shen Nanxun's arrangements, "Master, please let the young ones obey the orders of the mistress."
Lu Fenghe was stunned for a moment, "What if I didn't send someone?"
"Then let the little ones figure it out on their own."
Lu Fenghe was stunned, "It's gone?"
Sun Gui added, "The master also asked the account books to be handed over to the mistress every month, and there is nothing else."
Lu Fenghe had an agnostic look on his face. He sent people to set up a North-South goods store, but he didn't explain anything? Just rest assured?
Shen Nanxun was really so relieved. When doing business, he was a layman, so he didn't give guidance to the experts. He gave them the capital and let them work on their own. The ship followed the ship of the Lu family shipyard, and all the people were sent over.
Shen Nanxun was relieved, and Lu Fenghe was worried about it unconsciously.
Lu Fenghe passed his worries to Sun Gui, "In the past two days in Piling, you can go and explore again. In addition, the autumn harvest has already begun in the south of the Huaihe River. Does the prince have anything to do with the food?"
Sun Gui and Wang Liang looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I didn't tell you what business I wanted you to do?" Lu Fenghe asked again without giving up.
The two of them still shook their heads.
Lu Fenghe was wailing in his heart. Hey, this is really true and he can't ignore it.
"Don't be in a hurry to return to Jiangning. Go back today and think clearly about the goods you want to receive, and come back tomorrow to give us a reply."
Lu Fenghe suddenly found a north-south goods store for Lu Fenghe. Lu Fenghe was also a little confused. Since he was going to be a goods store, he couldn't just accept it and sell it casually.
Lu Fenghe looked at the two people who were about to resign and asked again.
I asked them if they had been to the previous border market when it opened, what was on sale, what was popular, how much money Shen Nanxun gave, and asked them everything they could think of.
"You go and look for the goods. Since the Crown Prince asked you to come look for me, I always have to do something. When the ship arrives, go directly to the Lu family shipyard to book it. I will greet you at the shipyard."
Lu Fenghe thought about it and figured out that all she could do was to check the accounts every time she went, and say hello to the Lu Family Boat Company to provide some convenience. No matter how much she did, she was powerless.
After both of them left, Lu Fenghe sent someone to hand over the note to Lu Erlang and told him the name of the goods store. The name was very casual, so he called Fengxing Goods Company directly.
The tea has been shipped out, and everything I can think of about the shipping business has been explained, and I am waiting to set off for Kuizhou.
The boxes and cages were packed away, but things didn't go as planned.
On the night of the fifth day of September, when the third watch was almost over, there was a knock on the door of the house, announcing the funeral.
The people who announced the funeral only said that their old lady was gone.
The concierge reported inside that the old lady was gone. Lu Fenghe was woken up by Xiang Yaer. He was stunned after hearing the news.
The old lady is gone? Grandma?
Lu Fenghe kept convincing himself to calm down. The old lady was fine. Doctor Tang had just treated her a few days ago and left a prescription. He also said that the old lady was in much better health than the old man. How could it be so sudden?
Lu Fenghe didn't even know that his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even put on his clothes, so Xiang Yaer helped put them on.
By the time Lu Fenghe had put on his plain white clothes and was being supported by Cuizhi and Xiang Yaer as he walked to the front yard, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Lu Si and Mrs. Lu Ba had already got into the car.
"Where's Bage?" Lu Fenghe asked.
Qin Ling'er took Lu Fenghe's cold hand and said, "Your eighth brother will go first, He mother..."
Qin Ling'er wanted to comfort Lu Fenghe, but when it came to such a thing, anything she said seemed pale.
Lu Fenghe held Qin Ling'er's hand tightly and looked at Zhao with a pair of uneasy eyes.
Mrs. Zhao was also puzzled. She had only been to the old house two days ago, and there was no sign at all.
Unlike Kyoto, Piling has a strict curfew and people are not prohibited from walking at night.
But despite this, at this hour, there will be no one else on the road except drunks and watchmen.
In the dead of night, the cries of mules and the sound of wheels are particularly clear and loud.
Because of this, the silence in the car became more and more disturbing. Everyone who got the news was at a loss. Everyone was worried. As for what they were thinking, I'm afraid everyone is different.
Before arriving at the old house, I met Lu Balang who was coming on horseback.
When Qin Ling'er heard Lu Balang's voice, she opened the curtain and said, "Why did you come out to greet me? You're only a few steps away."
"Go to Xifu, not here."
"What?" Lu Fenghe asked as he pushed Qin Ling'er away.
Not far away was the alleyway that turned into the old house. While talking, someone else came out of the alleyway, but it didn't seem to be the owner, they were all walking.
"My grandparents are fine, but my great-uncle in Xifu is gone."
Lu Fenghe breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhao also cursed, "The little boy who announced the funeral was really an old lady who didn't know where she was from. She was really scary."
After a false alarm, everyone regained their composure and the mule cart started moving again. Only then did Ms. Zhao ask her son who was walking beside the cart.
"Do you know what's going on?"
Lu Balang shook his head, "I don't know. When I arrived at the old house, everyone had already gone out. I only saw Uncle Fu, who said she was the old lady of Xifu. She was the girl who was keeping watch at night. When I got up at night, I found the old lady's hand on the bed curtain.
Outside, I tried to put the old lady’s hands back on the quilt, but the old lady was already stiff.”
Lu Fenghe actually didn't have a deep impression of the old lady of Xifu. The most profound impression was probably that the old lady smelled like Buddha and she always wore Buddhist beads on her hands or around her neck.
Lu Fenghe also saw the old lady when they separated. She was a skinny old lady, but she was in good spirits.
