When Wubao was taking shape, the shopkeeper from the capital finally arrived.
This shopkeeper is an old servant of the Yang family. He has followed the eldest princess and the old prince for many years and has been in charge of Yang Shu's industry.
Before Yang Shu left Beijing, he handed over all the affairs of the capital to her, in order to free up the shopkeeper to run this line.
As soon as he arrived at Gaotang, he was so busy with work that he rushed over to pay homage. Seeing that Yang Shu was so good and even more heroic than before, he was so excited that his eyes almost filled with tears: "Yang Youde has met the young master! I have lived up to my trust.
Finally came to Gaotang."
Yang Shu personally helped him up, asked him to sit down, and said, "At such an age, it is really my sin to ask you to run around all the time."
Yang Youde replied: "Young people have a hard life. The busier they are, the more prosperous they will be. Such a big thing, I don't trust you to leave it to others."
When Mingwei came in, they had just finished talking about business, and Yang Youde took out a letter and presented it to him: "This is a letter from Mr. Fu to you. I kept it close to you all the way."
Yang Shu scraped off the wax paint from the seal and took out the letter paper.
Fu Jin's letter is very long, covering more than ten pages, and is eloquent and full of literary talent.
After reading it, he handed it to Mingwei. Mingwei scanned it ten lines at a time and felt that it could be summed up in eight words: I am in control and everything is fine.
Putting away the letter, Mingwei asked Yang Youde: "How is the Ji family? Where are Aunt Tong and the others?"
Ever since Mingwei came in, Yang Youde had a kind face.
Before the old master left, he personally entrusted the young master to him. Although he was a servant and could not control the young master's life-long affairs, he saw that the young master was being demoted from the capital and his marriage had not yet been settled, so he had to be anxious.
Knowing that Miss Ming was going to follow him, he was determined. Even if he had no status for the time being, at least there was someone by the young master's side! Besides, knowing the young master's situation and still willing to travel far away to accompany him, this kind of friendship is rare.
After hearing Mingwei's question, Yang Youde respectfully replied: "Don't worry, Miss Ming, everything is fine in the Ji family. Your cousin, Mr. Ji, stood out in the imperial examination and became the second-level successor. He has a bright future. Aunt Tong is fine now."
, before the little one left, they even sent a message to say hello to the girl."
Mingwei nodded: "That's good."
Yang Shu said: "You have been running all the way, so go and rest first. We can talk about the rest tomorrow."
After that, he called Ah Wan and arranged for Yang Youde to stay.
When Ning came back from rest in the evening and drank tea after dinner, Mingwei said: "I'm going to leave next month."
Yang Shu paused while holding the tea and looked at her: "Where are you going?"
"Hu Di."
He put down the tea cup: "Didn't you say that the eight tribes of Beihu are fighting in a scuffle? Is there anything you have to go to at this time?"
"It's just because they were having a scuffle that they chose this time to go." Mingwei took a slow sip of tea and said, "As soon as Shopkeeper Yang comes, all the plans will be on track, and I can go with peace of mind."
Once the capital's lines are laid here, the income from various industries will continue to be sent to Gaotang.
If someone has money, a complete small town will appear here before long.
As for Yang Shu herself, she has completely recovered through the business of fighting bandits. With Ning Xiu by her side, she feels relieved.
Yang Shu frowned and said nothing.
Mingwei knows that he is unhappy, but this matter is very important and must be done.
Ah Wan looked at her, then at Yang Shu, and asked, "When will you leave? Alone?"
Mingwei peeled a broad bean and said, "Of course not alone. In addition to Duofu, I also want to borrow Hou Liang."
Wubao has almost been built. When Yang Youde comes, there will naturally be great craftsmen, and there is no shortage of Hou Liang as a supervisor. But for now, she is not very relieved to have Hou Liang next to Yang Shu. Taking him to Hu Di is just fine.
Test him to see if he has successfully changed his color.
"How can this be done?" Ning Xiu also spoke up, "It's so dangerous to go to Hudi, the people you bring with you must be trustworthy enough."
Ming smiled and said: "Hou Liang has his uses. He has been in the northwest for many years and has a certain understanding of the Hu region. He is knowledgeable and understands the Hu language. Moreover, he knows the art of disguise, which is exactly what I need."
Ning Xiu understood that she was here to cause trouble. Considering that she had never suffered a loss before, she didn't care too much.
Yang Shu said nothing. He drank the tea in his hand and stood up: "It's getting late. I'm going to bed."
"Master!" Ah Wan shouted.
Yang Shu ignored it and went back to the house.
Ah Wan just looked at Ming Wei, watched her slowly drink her tea, get up and walk out, she couldn't help but said, "You just don't care?"
Mingwei looked at her innocently: "What do I care about?"
"Young Master is angry, I don't believe you can't tell."
"Oh." Mingwei said expressionlessly and went back to the house.
Ah Wan was so angry that she wanted to rush forward, but luckily Ah Xuan caught her in time.
"Why are you so anxious?" Ah Xuan said to her, "The more others get involved in the matter between two people, the more trouble it will become."
"But she..."
"Okay, if the young master gets angry again, Miss Ming can just calm him down. How come you still can't see through it after so many times?"
…
Yang Shu lay on the bed, tossing and turning without falling asleep.
It was still early when he returned to the house. After taking a bath, he read the book of war and wiped his sword for a while. Finally, he had nothing to do and turned over the topographic map of Yanshan over and over again.
Until everyone had rested and it was completely silent. I really couldn't find anything to do, so I had to go back to bed.
There was still no sound outside the door.
He stared at the door for a long time, and finally he could only turn over and sleep bitterly.
If you don’t give me an explanation, you are being cruel!
He didn't know how long it took, but he finally passed out. Suddenly, the window was pushed open, and someone climbed in quietly.
Putting his hand on the edge of the bed, Yang Shu suddenly turned over and raised his hand to hold the sword beside the pillow.
Mingwei saw something bad and rushed over quickly, trying to hold down his hand.
Yang Shu realized it was her and hurriedly stopped his move. The sword in his hand was knocked down by her, so he lowered himself to pick up the sword, but she happened to pounce on him at this moment...
"Well..."
Yang Shu only felt that his nose hit something soft...
After a while, he heard Mingwei exclaim: "Why is your nose bleeding?"
Then he hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and reached out to pull open his collar to get some air.
Yang Shu was only wearing a thin undershirt, and when she pulled it, the whole thing opened. When his skin touched her fingertips, a numbness immediately rushed to the back of his head.
"Don't move!" He shouted, fearing that she wouldn't listen, so he said again, "Don't touch me!"
Mingwei was stunned by his drinking, and stopped there, watching him pinch her nose with his hand, get out of bed around her, and go to the back to take a bath.
After a while, Yang Shu finally came back.
The nosebleed has stopped and I look fine, except that my ears are a little red and my face looks a little smelly.
Of course, the little light coming from outside was not enough for Ming Wei to see clearly, and she only felt that his mood was a little wrong.
Yang Shu ignored her and sat at the table to pour himself tea.
Mingwei thought for a while and walked over: "Are you still angry?"
I don't know where this sentence hit him. Yang Shu put down the cup heavily, turned around, grabbed her and pressed her down on the table, gritting his teeth: "You still ask! You still dare to ask!"
