Chapter 167 How can I borrow your luck?
"What about the remaining two carriages?" Xiao Jiuyue silently closed the lid. Her elder brother was really a good brother to her, and her father really understood her. He actually prepared so much fresh powder. Now she was not worried about the capital city at all. When the time came, a small jar would be sold for ten taels of silver, and she could use it without worry in the restaurants in the capital city.
"This cart is filled with dried scallops, dried shrimps, dried kelp, dried fish and the like." Chu Ang lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a fishy smell of dried fish came out. Xiao Jiuyue looked at the carriage filled with seafood. These were all the love of Xiao's father and elder brother.
"Miss, don't be fooled by the fishy smell of these things. They are delicious when cooked." Chu Ang pursed his lips and said this. Having been to Lingnan twice, Chu Ang is now accustomed to eating those seafood.
If you eat it a few more times, you can even taste its umami flavor.
"Yeah." Xiao Jiuyue nodded, looking forward to what was in the third carriage. She directly lifted the curtain of the third carriage. Just as she was about to do so, Chu Ang hurriedly said, "Miss, stop."
Chu Ang shouted excitedly, but it was too late.
"Be careful." When Lianxin saw that there was a girl tied with chains inside, she was so scared that she kept protecting Xiao Jiuyue.
"Miss, she is the person given to you by Mr. Xiao. Her name is Hua Qing." Chu Ang said in a low voice.
Lianxin, who was standing aside, looked at Hua Qing who was tied with a chain, and then looked at Chu Ang: "You didn't lie to the young lady, did you?" How could the young master send such a person to the young lady?
"God knows, this is the person sent by Master Xiao Ling. I even have a handwritten letter here. How dare I say anything nonsense?" Chu Ang said, handing the letter in his arms to Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss, how about we deliver the things to the mansion first?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly and let the carriage enter the mansion first. It was just sunset, and Xiao Jiuyue asked someone to quietly send Hua Qing to the backyard.
Chu Ang and He Changqing were having dinner, and he was so greedy along the way!
The food in the Xiao family’s old house is the best food he has ever eaten, no doubt about it!
Chu Ang ate with big mouthfuls, without even having a chance to speak. When his stomach was full, Chu Ang and He Changqing were taken to the backyard. Chu Ang had the experience from last time, so this time it went very smoothly.
Xiao Jiuyue accompanied them and told them everything about Lingnan. The Xiao family was happy again.
After everyone finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue looked at Chu Ang and asked, "My eldest brother, what else did you say?"
"Mr. Xiao said that Hua Qing is highly skilled in martial arts, so Miss can use her without worry." Chu Ang finished speaking, and then added: "We tied her up with chains because she accidentally ate some herbs and was poisoned. She often hurts people uncontrollably. We had no choice but to tie her up."
"But don't worry, Miss. Hua Qing said that this situation is only temporary. It will be fine once the poison is detoxified." Chu Ang added quickly, fearing that Xiao Jiuyue would misunderstand.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't ask any more questions and sent someone to send Chu Ang back. He met He Changqing again. This time He Changqing went to Lingnan. I believe he should have a lot of ideas.
"Miss, I am willing to go to Lingnan to deliver goods in the future." He Changqing spoke first. Although this journey is dangerous, he can earn a lot of money!
"We have to wait for the next batch of goods. You can consider it." Xiao Jiuyue simply asked He Changqing, Hua Qing, and what happened on the road. What she said was similar to what Chu Ang said. After Xiao Jiuyue sent them away, he went back to his room to read the letter.
Xiao Jiuyue did not use the escort agency to send the letter. He confirmed that the wax seal was intact before reopening the letter and looking at it carefully.
It was more convenient to read the letter without having to decipher the code. In the letter, Xiao Jialing said that they had bought all the sea cucumbers they could buy, and wondered if they were enough for her. At the same time, he asked her that if they were not enough, she should make plans early next year when sea cucumbers were available.
In the letter, Hua Qing was mentioned specifically, and she was asked to protect Xiao Jiuyue closely.
Xiao Jiuyue made sure that there was nothing important that she had missed before she began to open the second letter. If Xiao Jialing's letter covered every detail, then Xiao Fu's letter was filled with fatherly love.
Xiao Fu told her not to work so hard, to stay in Fu'an Village and wait for the day when he would be rehabilitated. He also asked her to spend more time with Su when she had nothing to do.
The third letter was from grandfather, Old Man Xiao. He started with praise, praising him for having the demeanor of a daughter of the Xiao family. The boldness between the lines revealed Old Man Xiao's care.
After reading the three letters, Xiao Jiuyue silently folded the letters and put them in the box. Xiao Jiuyue really grew up in a loving family.
"Lianxin, where is Huaqing?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"Miss, Hua Qing is in the side room now. I have asked someone to lock the door and send food over." Lian Xin replied and asked, "Miss, do you want to come over?"
"Go and take a look." Xiao Jiuyue was a little curious about what was so good about the girl her elder brother sent her.
"The eldest lady of the Xiao family? Xiao Jiuyue?" Hua Qing crossed her legs and leaned casually against the window. She held peanuts in her hand and threw them directly into the sky. The peanuts fell freely into her mouth.
"Two souls in one body." Hua Qing's words made Xiao Jiuyue's pupils shrink. She looked at Lian Xin and said, "Lian Xin, you go guard outside."
"Miss." Lianxin was a little worried, but facing Xiao Jiuyue's gaze, Lianxin still retreated and closed the door tightly, guarding the door like a door god.
"Hua Qing, my brother said that the Hua people are good at fortune-telling. Now it seems that they are not that good." Xiao Jiuyue sat opposite Hua Qing and chatted casually. She stared at Hua Qing's face that could not be more ordinary. None of her facial features were ugly, but when put together and thrown into the crowd, it was especially easy to be forgotten.
Didn't Xiao Jialing say she was a martial arts expert? Now it seems like she's a charlatan, right?
Hua Qing sat up straight, pinched her fingers, stood up, and walked around Xiao Jiuyue, staring at her sharply. Xiao Jiuyue sat with her back straight, allowing Hua Qing to look at her. She wanted to see what Hua Qing was going to make up.
Hua Qing stood in front of Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Young lady, someone is borrowing your luck."
"Borrowing luck?" Xiao Jiuyue sneered, "How could the Xiao family borrow luck when they were so prosperous in the past?"
"The young lady should have lived a life of wealth and prosperity, and shouldn't have suffered such a disaster. But now the young lady is in trouble, and there is a sense of dual souls in one body. I don't know who it is..." Hua Qing said halfway before bowing to her and saying, "Good luck to the young lady."
"What two souls in one? What borrowed luck? I think you are making it up." Xiao Jiuyue was eating melon seeds with a look of watching a show. Two souls, could it be that the original owner is still here?
Xiao Jiuyue's heart was like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling.
"Miss, dual souls mean one body with two souls, but Miss, that's not the case. Miss, your soul and spirit have returned to their proper places, which is why you have two souls in one body." Hua Qing's words left Xiao Jiuyue confused. She calmly made up a story and asked, "What do you mean by soul and spirit returning to their proper places? Could it be that I've been resurrected by someone else?"
