Ye Erniu paused for a moment and asked, "What did you mean by 'you' just now, little sister?"
When Sun heard this, she was stunned. Was that what they said?
Ye Panjiu pointed to a spot that wasn't circled, "I'm going to Yangzhou. This time, opening the shop will be entirely up to you."
Madam Sun was somewhat alarmed, "No, little sister, it's too dangerous for you to go to Yangzhou alone!"
Ye Erniu added, "That's right, it's so dangerous. Without Little Sister, how could we run the shop?"
Ye Guihua pursed her lips. Back in Shuzhou, she had a feeling that her aunt was planning to do this.
Ye Panjiu smiled, "Hengtong is with me, so don't worry. In Shuzhou, you guys basically opened the car yourselves, so it doesn't matter whether I'm there or not!"
Ye Taohua panicked and tugged at Ye Panjiu's sleeve, "Mother, you're not going to take me with you this time?"
Ye Panjiu patted her hand, "Peach Blossom, be good. I have something to do this time, but I'll take you next time. You go to the academy first. I'll definitely be back by tomorrow when the prefectural exam is held."
In reality, the trip to Yangzhou was to go to territory under the control of the Wang family, which was fraught with danger, so she would never take Peach Blossom with her.
Ye Taohua looked at Heng Tong again, and Heng Tong shook his head.
She listened to Ye Panjiu.
Judging from Ye Panjiu's previous request for Chu Guan to protect the Ye family with ten million, the Wang family is in a difficult situation.
It's definitely not like Zhou Xinran or the Qian family from before.
That one without peach blossoms is definitely the best.
Ye Panjiu pinched her cheek and coaxed her in the gentlest tone, "Just help your mother out and spend more time with Mu Ning, okay?"
Ye Taohua nodded sullenly, but still.
Madam Sun was displeased, "No, no, it was agreed before that I would go wherever my little sister goes!"
Ye Erniu nodded repeatedly.
Ye Guihua's eyes were full of hope. With her aunt around, she felt a great sense of peace and had someone to rely on.
Ye Panjiu patted Sun's shoulder, "Second brother and sister-in-law, I'll need a lot of money in the future. If you don't help me earn more, I won't be able to make ends meet..."
Sun had never heard Ye Panjiu speak like this before, and her heart melted instantly. "Okay, okay, I'll earn it, I'll earn it all for you."
Ye Erniu was shocked to see his wife suddenly switch sides. Just a moment ago she wasn't like this.
"Little sister, can't we go to Yangzhou with you?"
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Second brother, Su Yan is in Yangzhou. I'm going to see him."
Actually, no, it was just that mentioning Su Yan made his family feel more at ease.
We definitely can't talk about the Wang family.
Ye Erniu spoke with even more confidence, "Then we must follow our little sister even more closely, we can't let you be fooled by that person!"
Sun slapped him with her crutch, "Forget it, my sister's off to enjoy life, having you by her side is obviously superfluous. We'll listen to our sister and go make some money!"
After Ye Panjiu woke up from the water, who in the Ye family truly stopped her from doing what she decided to do?
Whether it was initially selling charcoal or setting up a stall to sell braised food, every step was a decision made by Ye Panjiu.
Ye Panjiu patted Sun's shoulder again with some gratitude.
Second sister-in-law really cooperated with her!
Ye Erniu was in pain from being pounded, and although he wanted to persuade her again, he had no choice but to give up when he saw his little sister like this.
Ye Guihua stood up. "Aunt, please take care. I'll go pack my luggage now."
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Guihua, don't worry, your aunt values her life more than anyone else. You can go to Shuzhou first and take Brother Lai and the other two with you."
Having died once, she understands more deeply that when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out—everything is gone.
Only by living can there be a difference.
The three Lai brothers were able to greatly solve the problem of who to employ for Jiujiu Lu, placing the right people in the right positions, which was of paramount importance.
Ye Guihua nodded and turned to walk into her room.
Sun sighed and pulled Ye Erniu back into the house to tidy up.
Ye Panjiu didn't want to say goodbye again. She had already prepared her luggage in advance, went back to her room to get it, and then let Heng Tong take her away.
They were still two people on two horses, riding at full speed along the shortcut towards Yangzhou.
They had only been out for a short while when they ran into Chu Guan, who was leading the team.
He was followed by an angel who read out the imperial edict. As soon as Chu Guan saw her, he immediately stopped his horse.
"Whoa—"
Ye Panjiu had no choice but to stop as well. "What is this, Lord Chu?"
Chu Guan rode closer to her and said excitedly in a low voice, "Sister Pan Jiu! Regarding the matter of the curved plow, His Majesty directly promoted me from the ninth rank to the sixth rank! My father was so shocked that he opened the ancestral hall!"
Thinking of the words of praise his father wrote in his letter, he felt as if he were floating in the sky.
He had never been praised by his father like this before, let alone having an ancestral hall built to inform the ancestors!
Ye Panjiu smiled and bowed to him, "Congratulations!"
She then asked, "So you're going to Ye Family Village to find Uncle Wu?"
Chu Guan returned her greeting, "This is all thanks to Sister Pan Jiu. You have no idea how grateful I am to you! I'm going to find Uncle Wu. His Majesty asked me to ask him what reward he wants."
Ye Panjiu waved his hand, no longer standing on ceremony with him, "Sir, I'm going to Yangzhou now. I'm leaving the Ye family in your care. Yes, sir, please take good care of Guan Muning for me."
Chu Guan had met Guan Muning before; he had visited the Ye family quite often.
After saying that, Ye Panjiu flicked the reins and rode forward.
Chu Guan watched her retreating figure with great concern.
In this letter, his father also said that the Wang family was cunning and deliberately poisoned his younger sister, then sent a miracle doctor to save her, and even wanted to marry her to form a marriage alliance.
Now the Chu family is completely on the opposite side of the Wang family.
He knew that Ye Panjiu's trip to Yangzhou was definitely to gather evidence of the Wang family's crimes, which made him even more worried.
An angel approached him and asked, "Your Highness, shall we continue our journey now?"
Chu Guan smiled quickly, "I was lost in thought for a moment, let's go."
The angel who came this time was Li Gao's grand-disciple, and he wielded considerable power.
After riding for a short while, the group arrived at Old Wu's house.
Old Wu was still diligently working on the curved plow with his head down.
The gate to the courtyard was wide open.
Chu Guan knocked and walked in. "Uncle Wu, hurry, the imperial reward has arrived!"
Old Wu seemed to wake from a dream. He was about to bow to Chu Guan when he saw the crowd of people behind him, and then he became a little scared.
Chu Guan patted his shoulder, "Call Aunt Wu out."
Without being called, Aunt Wu came running out as soon as she heard the sound.
Chu Guan said to the two men, "Quickly kneel down to receive the imperial decree."
Old Wu and Aunt Wu quickly knelt down.
An angel stepped forward and opened the imperial edict: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Wu Gaoze's creation of the curved plow is a great achievement, saving the people of the world from hardship. Therefore, he is hereby granted a special reward: one hundred taels of silver, a box of jewels, and a piece of silk and satin."
Behind him, the eunuchs placed the boxes they were carrying in front of the two men and opened the lids.
Old Wu was so shocked that his mouth dropped open, and Aunt Wu stared at the boxes, unable to look away.
The angel continued reading, "Instruct Chu Guan to inquire what other rewards he desires, and then make a decision after reporting back!"
Chu Guan stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Wu, if there's anything you want, just say the word."
Aunt Wu looked at Old Wu, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
