Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Return

When the carriage arrived at Shunyi Zhuangzi to join the caravan, when the whole team was ready to leave, Zhou Banxia opened the wooden box that was hurriedly loaded into the carriage and looked at it.

See the burden again, it is still two burdens, not that it contains the dry food and braised meat on the road, it is a small blanket and a man's and women's cloak, or a slip of festive red.

Carrying out these two burdens, there are four horses of silk and satin, four horses of cotton, four cans of tea, eight seals of pastries, eight seals of preserved fruits, two small boxes, a set of four treasures of the best study, scattered pen and ink inkstones and pigments, and so on.

Also, these painting manuscript supplies, embroidery village is the most.

Yesterday in front of the school, she didn't think of this, but it was not suitable to take advantage of this, but she never thought that Mrs. Qian, who had already given a table of noodles before, and a lot of gifts gave a gift in return.

Like four horses of silk, four cans of tea, as well as four of the pastries and preserved fruits, a good set of four treasures of the study, you don't need to look at the gift list to know that it is Mrs. Qian's return gift.

A large box was stuffed to the brim, and the most heartfelt of it was that the thick copy of the Di Bao sandwiched on the bottom floor was worthy of Mrs. Qian, and it was sent to the heart again and again.

There were many people, and Zhou Banxia didn't look at it carefully, so he put away the copied newspaper along with two small boxes and one of the four treasures of the good study.

The box seemed to vacate a little space, and it was instantly filled with cotton, but it was helpless to transport it on the way, and closed the box and affixed a seal.

The two coachmen then moved it to another carriage behind for transporting goods, and rearranged and tied it with six large cages placed in the open place.

Gu Wenxuan watched the coachman and porter pack and bundle on the side, and in less than a cup of tea, the convoy led by the fat housekeeper of the Zhao family also arrived in Shunyi Zhuangzi.

This time the speed was fast, and before the appointed hour, this Steward Zhao came early.

It's just different from when it came.

At this time, Steward Zhao was diligent, and he had to ask the two of them to get into one of the big carriages of the Zhao family, which made Gu Wenxuan embarrassed.

But I have to admit that the carriage of the Zhao family is indeed much more comfortable to sit in, not only the carriage is large, the small collapse is spacious, it is incense, and it is warmer.

It was difficult to be gracious, at the invitation of the Zhao family's housekeeper, Zhou Banxia moved to the Zhao family's carriage, and not long after entering the carriage, Gu Wenxuan also lifted the curtain and came in.

"It's time to go, sit down. What are you thinking? ”

Zhou Banxia laughed silently, can I say that this trip is like fighting the autumn wind, the favor is too much, and it scares you so much that you want to run away before dawn, but it doesn't let you be heartbroken.

He was right.

Although she mainly worked hard for a high salary, He Zeng was not the boss and his wife, so she was dedicated to helping their only daughter clean up the mess.

Otherwise, she has been in sales for almost ten years, and she has accumulated a lot of contacts, so why bother not to change jobs, there are many headhunters outside to dig her.

If it weren't for the grace of knowing the encounter, she wouldn't have been over 30 years old with an annual salary of one million, but she was worried that she would go back to the old path and refuse to owe favors?

This time and that time.

After being so busy that he almost got stomach cancer with a stomach ulcer, his savings were not as good as a fraction of his net worth, and after a few years of natural disasters, his thoughts were already different.

It's just that she's not promising, it seems that she is much luckier than this one with a big future, at least she didn't even have the remaining shares of the subsidiary suddenly gone!

"So happy to be home?" Gu Wenxuan took off his boots and sat next to Zhou Banxia, reminding softly, "He is correctly the housekeeper of (Zhao) Er." ”

Zhou Banxia raised his eyebrows.

"It is said that (Zhao) may not be able to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors three years ago."

See!

This is the advantage of selling things to Zhao Laosan, and you can hear any movements of the Zhao family at any time.

Indeed it is.

Zhou Banxia nodded knowingly, and aside from this topic, she whispered about what was in the big box sent by Xiao Liuzi before.

Like two small boxes, she just opened them in the carriage and looked at them, a small box of hand beaded flowers, and a small box of small gold and silver bills ordered by the Qian Mansion.

It's just that these two small boxes are different from previous years, and there were no New Year's gifts in previous years, but there are also two small boxes at the end of the year, but they are not as exaggerated as this time.

This time, the hand-strung beaded flowers are not like last year's four pairs of flower ornaments, not to mention that there are more gold bills in another small box, and even more silver bills.

The main thing, of course, is this one.

Zhou Banxia handed a copy of the Di Bao to Gu Wenxuan, "I flipped through it a little, it was almost the last two or three years." ”

"I have a heart."

Non-official eunuchs really can't find this kind of thing, just suitable for a white body like him who lacks understanding of current affairs, and its significance is no less than the famous post given by the tall lady.

To be honest, if you want to get a reputation for your talents, you have a lot of review materials for the imperial examination, and you are not afraid of rote memorization, but he is still afraid of strategy in his heart.

The strategy is the current politics.

There is no news broadcast here, and the best shortcut is to learn more about some of the examiner's articles, read the examiner's style, do what he likes, and prescribe the right medicine.

But with these reports, the certainty is even stronger. At the very least, you won't know a little about current affairs, and you can't figure out what went wrong, and you don't know if you digress.

It was winter, and the light in the carriage was not very good, Zhou Banxia didn't think that Gu Wenxuan would flip through the Di Bao now, and put away the Di Bao if he diverted the topic.

"Probably not. There is competition between the dart games, but they are quite united in terms of reason and reason. What's more, it was locally, and our father was going south with the dart bureau before he encountered the robbery. ”

Also.

Daliang Guo has been peaceful for a long time, although he has heard that there are occasional road rage thieves in the land of poor mountains and bad waters, but every time the year is closed, the strength of the yamen's crackdown is also okay.

No, it's not yet Layue, compared with when I came, there are more than one or two checkpoints along the way, and even the process of inspecting the waist brand is much stricter.

Zhou Banxia originally wanted to have a chance to seize the opportunity to sell the mule secretly, saving him time every day to serve the mule to eat and drink.

It's a pity that it's different from when I came, even the resting place is next to the checkpoint, and if you don't enter the city or enter the town, from Fucheng all the way to Qingyang County, there is no wind and no waves, and it's smooth sailing.

Arrived at the Shunyi Dart Bureau in Qingyang County, it was already before the hour, that is, more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the wind was stronger, and the gloomy weather seemed to be brewing a heavy snowfall.

In winter, the days are short, and it is basically dark by 3 o'clock in the morning. Considering that they had to return to the village before closing the city gate, the two did not stay in the county seat for long.

Declined Steward Zhao's invitation to stay at Zhao's house for one night before leaving, the carriage set off again, leaving a gift when passing through Gu Chengyang's big car shop.

Then I asked Gu Chengyang to help send someone to send a letter and a gift to the shopkeeper of Yunkelai, and the two carriages went straight to Qinghe Village when they left the city one after the other.

Return to the heart like an arrow.

Hurry up, seeing that the entrance of the village is approaching, the snowflakes have not yet fallen, but the sky is almost dark, the open wilderness, and it is even colder.

"Go to your house first?"
