On Guanyan's way back, the words of Guanqi and Zhao Bai lingered in his ears, and every word weighed heavily on his heart.
He has always longed for a chance to see the outside world, and this grain transport trip is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. After Guan Yan made up his mind, he decided to find a suitable time in the next two days to express his wish to the old lady.
As the night passed, the mansion was already bustling with people in the early morning, and the servants in the front yard were busy preparing the carriage to visit the Jiang Mansion.
In Tingyuxuan, Jiang Shuxiu had breakfast a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, fearing that there would be delays before leaving later.
Rui'er and Lai Xi have already prepared breakfast: a bowl of shredded chicken and shrimp porridge, a plate of fragrant jade steamed dumplings, layers of soft and delicious Ruyi flower rolls, and a plate of refreshing shredded papaya and bamboo shoots, which are all delicious.
