Chapter 801 (approximately)
The next day, after Tang Wan had settled her household affairs, she had Ding Li drive her directly to the fortune-telling shop.
Inside the shop, Boss Wan was already waiting for Tang Wan.
After exchanging brief pleasantries, the two went into the small study at the back.
Tang Wan didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point, explaining in detail how the Zhao family had purchased land in Fuxin and intended to expand into the market, but they lacked reliable connections. She concluded by saying, "The Zhao family is quite prudent in their actions, and we've had a pleasant working relationship. I'm taking the liberty of asking Mr. Wan for help this time; I wonder if it will put you in a difficult position?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Wan showed no sign of difficulty and readily replied, "I wondered what it was all about, but it turns out to be such a small matter. I do know a few influential friends in Fuxin, and since the master has personally asked for my help, I will naturally lend a hand. I will write two letters later, one to the Zhao family, asking them to take the letter to find the person; the other will be sent to my friend in Fuxin through special channels to explain the situation, which will ensure that the Zhao family's journey goes much more smoothly."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wan felt relieved and sincerely said, "In that case, thank you very much, Boss Wan."
"You're too kind, Master. It was nothing at all," Boss Wan waved his hand and replied with a smile.
Tang Wan then asked, "When do you plan to officially close this fortune-telling shop?"
After settling the accounts, Tang Wan handed the shop over to Boss Wan and told him to close it whenever it was appropriate.
Boss Wan glanced at Tang Wan and replied somewhat in low spirits, "Master, have you set a date to return to the capital? I was thinking that while you are still in the northern desert these few days, the shop should remain open. Firstly, we can try to sell as many of the talismans and feng shui ornaments in the shop as possible. Secondly, if any urgent matters that require your help come to us in the next few days, you can act accordingly."
Tang Wan did not object upon hearing this, and nodded slightly, saying, "We estimate that we will leave Mobei in at most twenty days. Boss Wan has thought things through. If you are willing to stay and guard the shop, then stay and guard it for now. Just contact me if you need anything."
She paused for a moment, then continued with the arrangements: "After I leave this shop, all subsequent matters will be handled by Boss Wan. There's one more thing Boss Wan can help me with: once the shop is all set up, Boss Wan, please help me list it for rent. Then, you can hand it over to the steward of my family who is staying in Mobei."
After listening, Boss Wan nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Master, I will handle the rest clearly and live up to your expectations."
After finishing their business, the two chatted for a few more minutes before Tang Wan got up to take her leave.
After leaving the inquiry shop, Tang Wan went alone to the prefectural government residence.
Hearing the noise, Wang Da looked up and saw Tang Wan arrive. He quickly put down his broom and went to greet her respectfully, saying, "Master, you've arrived."
Tang Wan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, let's go inside and talk."
The two entered the main house one after the other.
Tang Wan sat down in the main seat, looked at Wang Da who was standing below looking a little uneasy, and went straight to the point: "Wang Da, about what I told you yesterday, about staying or leaving, how have you two discussed it?"
Wang Da unconsciously rubbed the hem of his clothes with both hands. He raised his head, his eyes filled with struggle, and finally mustered up his courage to say, "Master, Xiao Hua and I discussed this all night. I really want to go to the capital with you. You have been so kind to my brother and me, and I am willing to follow you and serve you like a slave to repay your kindness! But..."
He paused, his face showing difficulty and heartache: "You know Xiaohua's health. After her last serious illness, although she has improved a lot, she is still weak. The journey from the northern desert to the capital is long and arduous. I am really afraid that her body cannot withstand it and that something might happen to her on the way."
Wang Da couldn't continue speaking; his eyes were a little red.
Tang Wan listened quietly, not surprised by his concerns.
She hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Da, and said calmly, "I know Xiaohua's health better than you do. Xiaohua suffered a lot since childhood, and her constitution is weak. She really needs to recuperate slowly. It's good that you want to stay in Mobei. You can help me look after this house. I'll have someone give you your monthly allowance later." Tang Wan thought for a moment and then advised, "You should help Xiaohua take good care of her health. In a few years, you should go back to the capital. You know that Xiaohua's face was deliberately covered up at first. Later, I observed her face, and I think her family should be near the capital, maybe even in the capital, and they are either rich or noble. But I don't know her birth chart, so I can't make a specific calculation for her."
Wang looked at Tang Wan in surprise, not knowing how to answer for a moment. After calming down, he said hesitantly, "I have to tell Xiao Hua about this, but I still want to help her get some treatment here."
Tang Wan said calmly, "Okay, I'll leave some things for Xiao Hua to help her recover later. If you want to go to the capital later, you can send me a message."
Tang Wan's words were like a reassuring pill, and Wang Da immediately calmed down.
"Yes! Thank you, Master!" Wang Da kowtowed heavily before getting up.
Tang Wan looked at Wang Daqi and suddenly remembered to ask, "By the way, I remember you said you knew some words, but not many, right?"
“Yes, boss,” Wang Da replied respectfully.
Tang Wan slowly said, "Whenever you have time recently, go to the fortune-telling shop and find the young clerk there to teach you to read. However, the shop will probably close in a month at most, so you won't have much time to learn. Please pay attention."
Tang Wan had just suddenly remembered this matter; she hadn't thought of it before. She figured she'd learn as much as she could while she had the time, and would go to the shop later to tell Boss Wan about it.
Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Wang Da excitedly replied, "Thank you, mistress. I will definitely study diligently."
Tang Wan nodded with a smile and waved for Wang Da to get back to work.
After watching Wang Da walk away, Tang Wan gently closed the door to the main house.
She needed to hurry and check on the drying status of the crucial batch of grain in the space.
"The timing is perfect." With that thought, she no longer hesitated and quickly used her spiritual power to bag the grain and put it into the warehouse.
After doing all this, Tang Wan let out a soft sigh of relief. Fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, and her face was slightly pale.
Having consumed a lot of spiritual energy these past few days, Tang Wan quickly sat down to regulate her breathing.
After a short while, he got up and went back to the villa to drink the spiritual spring water, and rested briefly on the sofa.
After resting for only a short while, Tang Wan woke up again and her energy had almost fully recovered. So she left the space and returned to the main house.
Back in the main house, Tang Wan didn't rest. She immediately went to the back warehouse to activate the array and put the food from the space into the warehouse.
After finishing all this, Tang Wan turned to walk back. Just then, she heard a faint commotion coming from outside the courtyard.
Tang Wan figured that the grain shipment from Zhuxi had probably arrived.
