"It's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly."
Xu Yue nodded to Ma Guifang and walked towards the house.
Ah Da and other people who were guarding the old house were waiting outside the courtyard. They were very happy to see Xu Yue coming back and helped prepare the beds and hot water.
Xu Yue took a bath and fell asleep in her room.
After a good night's sleep, I was awakened by Junmei's voice in the morning.
"Would you like to sleep a little longer?" Junmei was holding a tray in her hand, which contained freshly made breakfast, which were all Xu Yue's favorite foods.
Xu Yue sat up from the bed, smiled and shook her head, "You are full of sleep, why are you here?"
Junmei took out the breakfast from the tray and put it on the table in the room. She turned around and smiled softly at Xu Yue, "Didn't you say you wanted to meet Sister-in-law Gongsun? I'll take you there."
"When you're full, get up quickly and have breakfast. After eating, wash up. I'll go outside to prepare the carriage first."
After explaining, Jun Mei left first.
Xu Yue stretched out comfortably, got out of bed, had breakfast, washed up, and found Junmei in the courtyard. She had already arranged her schedule.
"It's great to have you here." Xu Yue hugged the little sister's shoulders, lazily pressing most of her body on her, and sighed softly.
Junmei was not upset, he put his arm around her waist, dragged her out the door, and they got into the carriage together.
Ada drove the car, and the three of them slowly drove away from Xujiazhuang. After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived at Yuyang County.
Junmei had already said hello in advance and arranged for them to meet in a refreshment shop.
Long Jiaowan waited anxiously in the store, fidgeting and getting up frequently to look outside the store.
Finally, I saw an exquisite carriage appearing in front of the shop door. The carriage had the character "Xu" printed on it, which was the logo of the carriage owned by the owner of Xujiazhuang.
Carriages with such markings have not appeared on Yuyang Street for some time.
It appeared again, and it was self-evident who was inside.
Soon, the door opened and two young women jumped out of the carriage. It was Xu Yue and Wang Junmei.
Long Jiaowan came forward a little excitedly. Just as she was about to speak, Jun Mei shook her head and stopped her.
"Go in and talk." Jun Mei nodded to Long Jiaowan, took Xu Yue and walked inside.
Long Jiaowan nodded and followed the two of them.
Ada was standing guard outside the door, and the three women came into the exquisite and small private room.
Xu Yue looked at the strange woman in front of her. She was about nineteen, with a simple ponytail, wearing a long-sleeved cotton T-shirt, a pair of wide-leg pants, and a pair of light cyan cloth shoes.
At first glance, he looks similar to modern people, and his whole body exudes a refreshing energy.
Her appearance is not as refined as Junmei's, she can only be considered pretty, but her skin is fair and she has the innocent look of a girl next door who is very comfortable.
While Xu Yue was sizing up Long Jiaowan, the other party was also sizing up her.
Long Jiaowan had actually met Xu Yue many times, but every time he looked at her from a distance. This was the first time he was face to face like this.
When I was far away, I already felt that the leader had an aura that seemed gentle but was actually domineering.
Now that the distance between the two is less than two meters, this feeling of oppression is even worse.
Under Xu Yue's gaze, Long Jiaowan lowered her eyes slightly and stood stiffly upright, as if she were a soldier being paraded by the leader.
Junmei burst into laughter first, and the slightly awkward atmosphere was broken by this laugh.
Xu Yue stretched out her hand to Long Jiaowan, and the two shook hands and smiled at each other.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down. We don't have much time. If I have something to say, I'll just say it. Don't mind." Xu Yue raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Long Jiaowan smiled lightly and sat down, with her butt only halfway up, and her heart beating wildly. She didn't know what the leader would think of her, a daughter-in-law who was not recognized by the Gongsun family.
Xu Yue did not tell her these family matters, but asked her if she was willing to go south with Gongsun Yi to assist Sun Shangxiang.
After all, it’s not unusual for a husband and wife to live in different places.
Long Jiaowan was greatly surprised after hearing Xu Yue's words. She didn't expect that Xu Yue not only did not look down on her sister-in-law, but actually wanted to help her mobilize and make the couple happy.
"Brother Yi, does he know?" Long Jiaowan asked suppressing her joy.
Xu Yue nodded, "He will know."
Jun Mei secretly raised her eyebrows and watched quietly as the little sisters deceived the innocent young man.
"Sister-in-law, what you mean is that you also agree to go south?" Xu Yue smiled softly, making it impossible to detect any malice.
Long Jiaowan couldn't think of anything worthy of being valued by the leader. It would be too difficult to transfer to Gongsun Yi on her own.
Especially under the premise that the Gongsun family does not recognize her.
Therefore, Long Jiaowan happily accepted Xu Yue's olive branch without any hesitation.
"Okay, sister-in-law, you go and clean up now. I'll go back to Wubao with you in the afternoon to have dinner. Sister-in-law, don't think it's troublesome for me." Xu Yue said jokingly, exactly like a sister to her sister-in-law.
After all, the business matters have been discussed, and the next thing to talk about is personal affairs, so it’s not easy to put on airs.
Long Jiaowan was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "This, this"
Xu Yue didn't give her a chance to speak. She knew what Long Jiaowan wanted to say. She didn't even know which way the kitchen door in Gongsun Wubao opened.
But what does it matter? There are plenty of people in Uburg who will tell her!
"Sister-in-law, go quickly, I'll wait for you here." Xu Yue winked at Junmei, and Junmei immediately carried the confused Long Jiaowan out.
The two came to the door of the store, and Long Jiaowan finally found the opportunity to speak, worried and embarrassed and said:
"Secretary Wang, I, I have been to Wubao once. Before we even entered the door, the old lady asked people to kick us out. The leader said this, I, I am afraid. I am afraid that I will make the old lady unhappy."
Jun Mei listened to what she said and then joked: "Sister-in-law, do you think the old lady is more powerful or the leader?"
"The leader has worked so hard to come here just for you, why can't you turn around? I asked you to go back and clean up, so you should prepare well and let's strive for success."
Jun Mei had already talked about this, and if Long Jiaowan hadn't understood it yet, all those years of reading would have been in vain.
However, she still couldn't believe it, "The leader came specifically for me?"
Junmei nodded heavily, "Yes, I came specifically for you."
"Do I have such a great reputation?" Long Jiaowan murmured in surprise, feeling as if he was dreaming.
Junmei said half-truthfully: "The leader and his cousin grew up together since they were young. Naturally, their affection is not comparable to that of others. Maybe Gongsun Yi personally asked the leader for help?"
When Long Jiaowan heard this, she couldn't help but be so moved that her eyes turned red.
"I'll be back soon, and I will seize this opportunity. Secretary Wang, please help me tell the leader, and say that I understand what she means!"
After saying these words, Long Jiaowan wiped away her tears and ran towards home.
