Chapter 235： Arrangements for a long trip

Chapter 235 Arrangements for the Far Journey

Jiang Ning didn't take it seriously. "Take Xu'er with you. Let's take the waterway while the weather is hot. Don't worry. We will celebrate the New Year in the capital this year and come back when the weather gets warm next year."

“What about the restaurant?” Liu Ye said it was false to say she was not interested, but she had too many concerns.

Jiang Ning smiled angrily, "Are all the servants in our house just for show? I will ask the housekeeper to come over regularly to inspect the accounts, and leave the restaurant to Jiang Dong and Jiang Nan. If it doesn't work, I can get someone to come over and help."

Liu Ye saw that Jiang Ning had arranged things in an orderly manner, so she happily agreed and went back to pack her luggage.

Jiang Ning took the opportunity to visit Lady Wan.

Yang Xiaoya was embroidering a screen in the yard. When she saw Jiang Ning, she ran over happily and took her arm, "Aniang!"

Jiang Ning stared at her little daughter with a look of reluctance and asked, "My mother is planning to go to the capital. Do you want to come with me?"

Yang Xiaoya’s eyes lit up and she hesitated, “How long will Aniang be leaving?”

"About a year if it's fast, and two or three years if it's slow, it won't be too long." Jiang Ning patted the back of her hand and looked into the back room, "Where's your master?"

“Master is in the backyard!” Yang Xiaoya took Jiang Ning there.

When Wan Niangzi saw her, she insisted on getting up and bowing.

Jiang Ning was helpless at her persistence and explained the situation.

Lady Wan persuaded her without even thinking about it: "Go! You have been studying with me for so long and you haven't gone out for a walk. It will be more helpful for you to go to the capital to see the world and see the craftsmanship of top embroiderers. "

"But master, I..." Yang Xiaoya was very confused.

Madam Wan laughed and said, "I know you are filial, but you hesitate because you are worried about me, right?"

Yang Xiaoya lowered her head in embarrassment when she was told the central issue.

Jiang Ning's face felt a little more relieved, and his eyes looking at Yang Xiaoya became more loving.

Mrs. Wan smiled even more heartily, "You don't need to worry about me. Xiu Niang comes to see me every now and then, and Xiao Qiao comes every day to deliver some fish and shrimp. There's nothing to worry about."

Jiang Ning touched Yang Xiaoya's head and said, "If you are really worried, arrange for a servant from our family to come and take care of your master."

Yang Xiaoya turned around suddenly, "Auntie, is that okay?"

“No, no, no! You can’t!” Lady Wan hurriedly stopped her.

Jiang Ning explained: "Our family now has a housekeeper, a cook, two maids, four guards, and a nanny who is responsible for looking after the door. Nanny can also do the cooking on the stove occasionally.

Our family went to the capital. The second, third, and fourth elders were all in Fucheng. We didn’t even have a serious master at home. I couldn’t bear to have so many servants at home doing nothing.

It is better to arrange for one person to come here and another person to go to the restaurant. Just leave two people at home and all the rest go to work in the workshop. Do you think they would rather come here to serve or go to the workshop? "

You don’t need to think about it to know what they will choose.

Ms. Wan still felt sorry for her, "Then I'll give my servants monthly money."

Jiang Ning waved his hand, "Mrs. Wan only needs to take care of the food of the servants, and there is no need for monthly money, so as to prevent them from having some thoughts that they shouldn't have. You only need to observe whether they are dedicated, and I will reward you if you do well. "

Madam Wan has also seen the world. She immediately understood Jiang Ning’s intention and could only agree.

After taking Yang Xiaoya away, the whole family went back to Rongshu Village.

When Mrs. Li heard that they were going to the capital, she was very reluctant to leave. "Are you coming back for the New Year?" "Auntie, it's not so fast. It will be next year at the earliest. How about you go with us?" Jiang Ning suggested.

Li was so frightened that she lost all her reluctance, "No, no, no, I don't want to go! I will stay in Rongshu Village for the rest of my life! If you want to go, just go. Pay attention to safety and don't show off."

Li made a lot of explanations before letting him go.

Jiang Ning explained to the housekeeper and took all four guards away. When the whole family arrived in the county, she ran to see Dong Ze again, "I will entrust the winery to the three masters. No matter whether it is successful or not, I will be in trouble then." The three masters will give me a reply."

“Uncle Guang En, don’t worry, I’ve done everything properly.” Dong Ze assured him again and again.

Xie Yucheng knew that they were going to the capital, so he arranged for four more government officials to protect them closely.

Jiang Ning couldn't refuse, so he had to accept.

With so many people and Wu Changfeng’s bodyguards, safety is guaranteed.

Along the way, the carriage was bumping. Jiang Ning and Yang Xiaoya were admiring the scenery along the way. Yang Datou was the only one who was cutting vegetables, fish fillets and meat in the carriage. His knife skills were not very good, so being on the carriage tested his skills even more. .

Liu Ye looked worried and remembered what Jiang Ning said. He immediately gave his son to the wet nurse and picked up a kitchen knife to practice his knife skills.

With one more willow leaf, Yang Datou is under greater pressure, but he has made significant progress invisibly.

At meal time, they often stopped in the wilderness to set up a stove to cook. At this time, Jiang Ning was there to guide them.

Yang Datou's basic skills are weak, but he is good at controlling the heat. The dishes he cooks are moderately salty. After the Wu Changfeng brothers ate for a few days, they couldn't help but sigh: "I have been a **** for many years, and this is the first time I am looking forward to stopping to rest and eat. If If I could eat like this every day, I would be willing to walk for a year and a half.”

“I do too!”

Wu Changfeng laughed angrily when he saw how greedy they were, but he couldn't help but agree in his heart that Young Master Yang's cooking skills are getting better and better, smack! If you are used to eating Master Yang's cooking, what if everything you eat in the future looks like pig food?

Wu Changfeng began to worry again.

The large army stopped and stopped along the way, boarding several boats and riding in carriages several times, and finally arrived in the capital in mid-November.

When the towering city wall came into everyone's sight, a group of people who were dying finally regained their energy.

Liu Ye cried with joy, "Great! Great! Auntie, we're finally here! I won't ever travel far from home again! It's too hard!"

Yang Xiaoya wiped her tears and said, "Sister-in-law has spoken to my heart. I will never travel far from home again!"

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment and said seriously: "Then you can't marry far away, otherwise you will be traveling far away when you return to your natal family!"

Yang Xiaoya's face turned pale and she nodded heavily, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for reminding me! From now on, I will marry the person next door to us."

"Next door to our house? Who?" Liu Ye asked a question on his forehead. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of any family in his village that had an outstanding young man.

Yang Xiaoya had already looked at Jiang Ning at this moment, giving her no chance to ask questions at all.

“Aniang, where are we going to stay after entering the city? It’s too cold in the capital, too cold!” Yang Xiaoya glanced at her nephew worriedly.

They came all the way, as if they had experienced four seasons, and winter coats were urgently purchased on the way.

The coats in the south are not as thick as those in the north. When they enter the northern border, they buy a new batch to survive.

Jiang Ning hugged her grandson tightly, keeping each other warm, shivering and blinking, and it took a long time for her brain to turn around, "First go to Guang Enbo's Mansion, which was a reward from the emperor, and then contact Mr. Huang and Tian Feng, and wait until we find out the situation in the capital. So cold, so cold”
