Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 472

It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and there is thick snow on the ground. It is really not a good day for traveling.The street is also much deserted than usual, many people in the town have stocked up on meat and vegetables early, and the shops everywhere are also deserted in front of their doors, closing their doors early.Xiaoyu and Jiang Xiaolian sat in the side hall of the backyard to warm up the fire. There was an iron plate on the brazier, and there were sweet potato slices, potato slices and steamed bun slices inside, and the aroma was overflowing.

Jiang Xiaolian turned the baked golden steamed bun slices over, sprinkled a layer of white sugar, picked them up and took a bite, it was just crispy, she finished one in two or three bites, took a sip of hot water, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"It's snowing so much outside, and the shopkeeper has to accompany that girl Teng to enjoy the scenery. It's really not easy."

Xiaoyu was knocking on the freshly baked melon seeds, and the skins of the melon seeds had already fallen all over the ground. "I heard that this martial arts practitioner is naturally not afraid of the cold or the heat. How can Axia compare with her. This Teng girl is also the same. She insists on going to Qingfeng Temple to see, saying that she has never seen a bamboo forest after snow." Saying, With a look of unbearable, even thinking about the scenery for a while, she felt cold, so she silently lit a wax for Xia Junyan.

The two were sighing, when they heard the sound of the wooden door in the courtyard, they quickly clapped their hands and got up, put on their cloaks and opened their umbrellas and went out.

"Come into the house and enjoy the fire!" After closing the door forcefully, Xiaoyu deflected the umbrella towards Xia Junyan.Xia Junyan couldn't speak a whole sentence well, so they entered the house together, and Jiang Xiaolian hurriedly patted the snow off her body, otherwise she would wet her clothes and catch a cold after being roasted by the fire.Taking a hot towel and applying it to her face, Xia Junyan felt her blood start to flow.

"Are you really going to see the bamboo?" Xiaoyu handed her the hot tea, and seeing that Xia Junyan's face had recovered some color, she also sat down.

"I just realized how great a person I am today, and my personality is too noble!" Xia Junyan said with emotion, "What does it mean to give up your life to accompany a gentleman, look at me!"

"As for..." Xiaoyu was quite puzzled, "Isn't it just one or two taels of silver a day, if you get sick from the cold, it's no fun to earn this money!"

"A tael of silver can make me like this?" Xia Junyan waved her hand, drank a few more sips of hot tea, and then felt warmer, "I don't earn a few hundred taels, I can play with her in such a heavy snow ?”

Jiang Xiaolian immediately looked over, and Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu looked at each other in blank dismay.

"How to say?"

"Ms. Teng is the bodyguard of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, and she can be regarded as a person from the Jianghu. The head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has a life-threatening relationship with the water transport gang. If our Yuhua Mansion chooses inland water transport for goods, it will usually be transported by water. It’s from Zhenyuan, and most of the people who enter Yuhua from outside also go from Zhenyuan.”

"What does this have to do with us?" Xiaoyu was still puzzled.

"In March of this year, the eldest daughter of Yu Hua's mansion married far away to the capital, and brought several Yu Hua embroidered ladies to the capital."

Jiang Xiaolian was very surprised: "How does the shopkeeper know?"

Xia Junyan smiled: "We don't know about Fu Jun's family, but the dowry team can be escorted not only by Fu Jun's family, but at least they must be informed by Water Transport. Except for Fu Jun's servants and guards , They also took care of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau."

"Oh—" Jiang Xiaolian understood, "It's that girl Teng who said it!"

"This is what I found out by accident when I was chatting with her." Xia Junyan tapped the armrest of the rocking chair lightly, "After so many months, I heard that there are quite a few young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital who are interested in Yu Hua. I am very interested. If my guess is right, there will be purchases from the capital at the latest at the beginning of next year. This is a big deal. Our embroiderers in Yun'an County can't eat meat, but they have to compete for a sip of soup Fight! It just so happens that the Chamber of Commerce has been integrated, and Zhou Ji has a big shop in Yuhua, the time and place are favorable, and if you don’t make money, you’re a fool!”
