Chapter 1349: Going to do private business
Of course, the guarding soldiers picked some to eat privately. Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were not so stingy as to turn a blind eye, as long as there was no deliberate destruction or waste.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you are too serious, you will not only make others unhappy, but also make yourself unhappy. As long as it is not a matter of principle and does not break the bottom line, just let it go.
Shao Yunduan dropped such a bombshell, and no matter how much trouble it might cause in the capital, he and Qiao Xuan set off south.
The waterway on the canal is unobstructed, the ships are sailing very fast, and there is nothing to do, which makes it quite leisurely and comfortable.
But it was already quite cold at this time of year, especially on the open river surface. When the wind blew, the chill penetrated into the bones.
The two of them had to stay in the cabin most of the time, which was a rare opportunity for them to spend some time together without being disturbed by anyone.
We drove straight to Hangzhou without making any stops along the way, except for stopping at the pier in the evening to spend the night and replenish supplies.
After arriving in Hangzhou, they arranged for an inn to stay at. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan told the other people to do as they pleased. The next day, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan took Lixia, Liqiu, Sun Bai and Sun Qian to Zhao Shu's house to find him.
The two of them had only told Zhao Shu that they would come before December, but they didn't say when. However, Zhao Shu was reluctant to leave his hometown and had been traveling around the Jiangnan area. It didn't matter when they came. Even if he was not in Hangzhou now, his subordinates could go look for him and he would be back within a day or two.
The Ten Thousand Flower Fields in Hangzhou are the most important source of income. Unlike the Mulberry Garden, which has long been mature and only requires operations to be carried out step by step, this place has just started and everything needs to be monitored and supervised. It can be said that Zhao Shu spent more than half of his time in Jiangnan in Hangzhou.
Although the two did not greet each other in advance, they never expected that Zhao Shu was not actually in Hangzhou, and they came to nothing!
Aunt Qing and Uncle Qing are here.
The two were very happy to see Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. They happily welcomed them into the house and talked to them warmly.
However, when Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan asked where Zhao Shu had gone and when he would be back, Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing looked at each other subconsciously, and both of them seemed to be a little hesitant, as if they were being cautious with them? ?
This made Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan very puzzled. They exchanged glances and couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Master Zhao, are you doing your own personal business? If it's inconvenient, just don't tell us. It's okay. Let's take a look at the flower fields and the accounts. I don't think it will matter if Master Zhao is not here."
Uncle Qing smiled and said, "Yes, Lord Shao and Madam Shao, don't worry. The accounts have been prepared long ago, and the dividends for you two have also been prepared. I can make the decision on anything you two want. Everything is fine in the flower field now, and I can lead you there."
"It's true that our young master has something to do and hasn't come back yet. We can't say for sure whether he can come back in the next few days. We are really sorry."
"Yes, yes, please forgive me, Master Shao and Madam Shao! But our Master said that he will definitely go to the capital in January to wish Master Shao and Madam Shao a happy new year. Then we can have a good talk with them!"
Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled: "Okay, then we'll just wait!"
