Chapter 222 Decision

Zhang Juexia flipped through the pile of fur again, and after making sure there was nothing wrong with it, she nodded.

Ye Beixiu helped Chu Jinnian up and said, "Brother Chu, why don't you be so polite? Let's go over there and talk."

After some bargaining, Zhang Juexia bought the fur at a lower price.

But how to transport it back to Jinshui Town became a problem. Chu Jinnian reminded them, "You can ask the escort agency for help."

This is a good idea, but where can we find the escort agency?

Zhang Juexia thought about going out with Ye Beixiu to look for it later.

Chu Jinnian was extremely grateful to Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia. "I'm going to the escort agency soon and I'll ask them to escort me home. Why don't you two go together?"

The furs are stored in the inn and are temporarily safe.

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu decided to go out with Chu Jinnian.

While on the road, Zhang Juexia took the opportunity to inquire about Chu Jinnian's background. He was a genuine businessman from Chen State and came to Zhou State to do business every year.

Chu Jinnian continued to express his gratitude, but Ye Beixiu told him not to be polite.

Chu Jinnian thought of something, "Where are you two from? Where can I find you if I come to Qingfeng City again?"

Ye Beixiu introduced himself and told Chu Jinnian that if he had any problems, he could go to Shengxia Embroidery Shop in Jinshui Town to find them.

Chu Jinnian took note. "I had to return home too hastily this time because my father was ill. I will definitely visit next time. To be honest, your Zhou embroidery sells very well in our Chen State."

"Then next time Mr. Chu comes, you can bring the fur directly to our embroidery shop to exchange for embroidery."

"Good idea."

The three of them arrived at the entrance of Zhenwei Escort Agency. Chu Jinnian told them, "The escort leader of this Zhenwei Escort Agency has a background in the imperial court. They are relatively safe to use, and the prices are also fair. The merchants around me like to use them."

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu stated their needs, and the people from the escort agency immediately gave a quote and said they would deliver the goods safely.

Zhang Juexia thought about it and felt that the price was indeed fair, so he and Ye Beixiu decided to ask the people from the escort agency to help deliver the goods to Jinshui Town.

It just so happened that the escort agency had a batch of goods to be transported to the State of Chen, so Chu Jinnian immediately followed the people from the escort agency on the road.

After saying goodbye to each other, Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia took the people from the escort agency to the inn to pick up the goods. Zhang Juexia wrote a letter and asked the people from the escort agency to send it back together.

After arranging these things, it was already dark. Zhang Juexia lay on the big bed in the inn, feeling pain all over her body. Ye Beixiu gave her a considerate massage.

"Madam, don't you think we were impulsive in buying so many furs?"

"If these furs are stored properly and sold in the second half of the year, the price will at least double."

"So many?"

"Well, I paid attention to this thing last winter. The people in Jinshui Town who were protecting against illegal traders carried this."

"That's fine. I'm also worried that my decision will stop us from making money."

"You have to believe in yourself. If one day I don't go out with you, can you make up your mind?"

Ye Beixiu paused, remembering what Liu Mingda had said to him, "My dear, earning money to support the family is my duty. I think I should be able to make the decision myself."

"That'll do."

Zhang Juexia enjoyed Ye Beixiu's massage and soon fell asleep.

Ye Beixiu couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He was thinking a lot...

Early the next morning, Zhang Juexia found out from the waiter which place in Qingfeng City had the most famous breakfast, so she asked Ye Beixiu to take her to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the two of them asked around and went to the Shen Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the Shen Mansion, after Zhang Juexia gave a brief introduction, the gatekeeper did not ask too many questions and went inside to report.

After about a cup of tea, the doorman replied, "Our old lady said that you two are distinguished guests who have come from afar. Please come in."

Zhang Juexia was invited to the backyard, while Ye Beixiu was invited to the front yard, where they were personally received by Shen Yue, the head of the Shen family.

When Liu Wan saw Zhang Juexia, she stepped forward and held her hand. "You are so heartless. After such a long time apart, you only think of an old woman like me now."

"It's because I have too many things to do at home and can't leave."

"Now that you're here, don't rush back. You have to stay with me for a few days."

"Okay, okay, okay, it's all up to you."

Liu Wan then let go of Zhang Juexia's hand and told him to take a seat quickly. She then asked the maid to serve him many delicious dishes. She placed them in front of Zhang Juexia and said, "Try them quickly. These are snacks made by the best chef in our house. They are much better than those sold in the shops on the street."

Zhang Juexia didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. "It's delicious, it's really delicious."

After reluctantly eating a few pieces of snacks, Zhang Juexia touched his bloated stomach and looked at Liu Wan with a wry smile, "Old Madam, if I had known your snacks were so delicious, I wouldn't even have eaten breakfast."

"How can you not eat breakfast, kid? If you're full, just don't eat. Save it and take it when you leave."

"I know the old lady loves me."

Liu Wan looked at Zhang Juexia and said, "Tell me what's the matter. With your personality, you wouldn't come to see me for nothing."

"I came all the way here to see you, old lady, and by the way, I bought some fruit trees in the city. Old lady, you know I live in the mountains, and I want to plant some fruit trees there so that I can eat the fruits when I want."

"You, you! But this fruit tree is not easy to buy!"

"That's why I want the old lady to help!"

Liu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I do have an expert on my farm who can take care of fruit trees. How about this? I'll send someone to the farm to ask if they have any new fruit tree seedlings this year. If they do, I'll have them share some with you."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Don't bother with all this formality. I'll be happy if you can just come to this house and see an old woman like me. I heard them say that your husband came with you."

"Um."

"He's a caring person, better than my husband."

Zhang Juexia chuckled and said what Liu Wan liked to hear.

I don't know why, but this time when I came to the Shen Mansion to see Liu Wan, I didn't feel as comfortable as when I was in Jinlong Town.

Old Madam Shen was a shrewd person who had experienced the world. She had long noticed Zhang Juexia's discomfort and waved her hand, asking the maids serving her to disperse.

"This man is old and useless, but my son is a filial son. He was afraid that I would be lonely, so he bought these girls, all of whom look festive and smart.

But he doesn't know what an old woman like me really wants."

Zhang Juexia looked at Madam Shen's dejected expression and felt a little sympathetic. "Madam, this is my first time in Qingfeng City, and I don't know many places. Could you take me for a good tour? By the way, I can take advantage of your kindness and listen to a play in the theater."
