Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 173 Luggage
"Xiuyuan, I wonder if you still remember what I told you before about the Yixing purple sand mine?" Dong Shuyu immediately added.

Dong Cheng and Dong Shuzhen both looked confused, what about the purple sand mine?

Zhu Xiuyuan thought of it immediately.

I remember, they did discuss this issue on the corridor to the east courtyard before the heavy rains and floods started.

Dong Shuyu wanted to ask Zhu Xiuyuan to go to Yixing County to identify the purple sand mine in person.

"Of course I remember! Well, let's go to the capital first to enter the palace to meet the saint, and then go to Yixing on the way!" Zhu Xiuyuan immediately made arrangements.

Dong Shuzhen's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.

This is good, you can have one more place to play.

"Well, thank you Xiuyuan!" Dong Shuyu said politely.

"Wait a minute, what is the purple sand ore you are talking about?" Dong Cheng asked curiously.

"Daddy, this purple sand mine is a rare clay that can be used to make teapots. According to Xiuyuan, teapots made from this clay are comparable to teapots carved from jade. It is often used to make tea and drink. It prolongs life and has endless wonderful uses!”

Dong Shuyu explained.

"Oh, there is such a strange thing? Haha, okay, after the purple clay pot is completed, I want to be the first to try it!" Dong Cheng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, dad. The first purple clay pot will be given to dad to try out."

"By the way, how is the business at the tea house?" Dong Cheng asked again.

"Dad, the teahouse has not opened since it closed more than half a month ago. Fortunately, none of the teahouse workers have been infected with the plague. If fresh tea leaves are delivered, the teahouse can start working immediately..."

Dong Shuyu said.

"Well, Yu'er, you can handle the affairs of the tea house with your full authority. Now I am already the governor of Jiangzhou, and my wise son-in-law is already the Sima of Jiangzhou. I am usually busy with official duties and may not be able to take care of the family affairs. Everything is busy. Yu'er took care of it."

Dong Cheng said calmly.

"Dad, please don't say that. Just leave the home and tea house to your daughter..."

The family of four continued chatting about the tea house business.

Then we talked about the tea gardens in Fuliang County.

When talking about tea gardens, Zhu Xiuyuan also mentioned tea farmers such as Yan Po.

Yan Po and other tea farmers sent more than 1000 young men to Jiangzhou to help Dong Cheng and others, which was considered a great effort and made great achievements.

Later, Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan talked about the hardships of the tea farmers——

Deeply exploited by tea merchants and tea horses.

It was miserable.

Therefore, the plan to help tea farmers in Fuliang County was decided in a few words between Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan.

... Once Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan started chatting, there was no end to it.

This is waiting for Dong Shuzhen, who is sitting next to Zhu Xiuyuan.

She has to go back and pack her luggage in advance.

Tomorrow's trip to the capital will be her first long trip in her life. She must treat it carefully and make all preparations carefully.

But her father and her husband chatted endlessly, and she pulled Zhu Xiuyuan's clothes under the table several times, repeatedly hinting to her husband to leave quickly... However, Zhu Xiuyuan ignored her.

This made Dong Shuzhen anxious.

Finally, Dong Shuzhen waited until the flowers were about to wither, and Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan finally finished talking!
"Husband, let's go back quickly, it's too late!"

Dong Shuzhen jumped up, grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, and ran outside with him.Zhu Xiuyuan was confused and asked quickly: "Madam, why is it too late?"

"Oh, husband, pack your luggage. Let's go back and pack your luggage quickly, otherwise it will delay tomorrow's trip..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was startled and looked at Dong Shuzhen's serious face.

"Madam, this and this... it's not dark yet, how can it delay tomorrow's trip?" Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless and found it funny.

Dong Shuzhen did not argue with Zhu Xiuyuan.

After grabbing Zhu Xiuyuan's hand and leaving the back hall, he greeted the two maids Qiu Wen and Xia Wu who were waiting outside, and ran back to the east courtyard quickly.

Zhu Xiuyuan was dragged back by Dong Shuzhen.

The two little maids, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, were trotting behind, barely keeping up with Dong Shuzhen's pace.

……

After the four returned to the east courtyard, Dong Shuzhen couldn't wait and took Xia Wu's hand into her room.

Afterwards, she also told Qiu Wen: "Hurry up and pack your husband's luggage. It's too late. Hurry up!"

After saying this, Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu entered the room.

Qiu Wen was left with a confused look on her face, staring blankly at the closed door, and then looked at Zhu Xiuyuan with a very confused expression.

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, walked into his room first, and told Qiu Wen: "I'm leaving for the capital tomorrow. I just need to pack a few changes of clothes. No need to make it so troublesome."

Qiu Wen finally understood, nodded and said: "Okay, uncle, I will go and clean up now..."

Zhu Xiuyuan washed himself, lit a candle and read for a while, then fell asleep.

But he didn't know how Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu were rummaging around in the room, struggling with what they should bring and what they shouldn't bring...

The next day.

I'm leaving for Beijing today.

It takes six hours to get to the capital by boat, which takes most of a day, so Zhu Xiuyuan got up before dawn.

Qiu Wen also came early to help him wash and change clothes.

After finishing, the two masters and servants went out and came to the small living room.

Zhu Xiuyuan's hands were empty, while the little maid Qiu Wen carried two small bundles on her shoulders, one belonging to Zhu Xiuyuan and the other belonging to herself.

Dong Shuzhen also got up very early, even earlier than Zhu Xiuyuan.

When Zhu Xiuyuan came to the small living room, he saw Xia Wu directing Zhu Xiuyuan's Chang Suiyan Dashan and two young boys to walk out carrying a large bag of things...

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a headache and hold his forehead.

As expected, Dong Shuzhen really brought a lot of things -

It’s a big package that requires two people to carry!
She really wants to move!

But fortunately, there are many people accompanying me, so I am not afraid that I will not be able to move it.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan let her go!
but!

When they were ready, walked out of the house, and were about to take the car to Jiangzhou Pier.

Zhu Xiuyuan was dumbfounded, confused and confused.

What did he see? He saw that there were seven or eight large packages that required two people to carry!
