Ning Huan didn't stop the four little ones from accepting red envelopes. Pang Shi just wanted to be nice to the four little ones and her, so why should she stop them?
Moreover, the thought that all the money in the four little dumplings' red envelopes would be hers when she got home made her incredibly happy.
She'll have to think carefully about what to say to get the money for the four little dumplings.
On the way back, the four little ones were a bit down at first, but the closer they got to home, the happier they became.
"When I get home, I'm going to lay out everything my aunt gave me!"
"I'm going to find Little Peach and tell Yang Xiaoshu about the tree spirit Grandpa told me about!"
Seeing the four little ones looking so happy, Ning Huan felt relieved.
As the oxcart entered the village, a villager saw Ning Huan and said to her, "You've come back just in time; someone's looking for you at your door."
Ning Huan was taken aback: "Who is it?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know him, but he came by carriage early this morning. He came looking for you, and when he found you weren't there, he asked us. We told him that you and Jing'an took the little ones back to your parents' home."
"When that person heard that you were coming back today, he didn't leave. He just waited in the carriage. But after a while, another carriage came. It seemed to be the one that often came to see Jing'an before."
"Both of you have been waiting for quite a while, you should go and check on them."
Hearing this, Zhu Dali quickened his pace.
Ning Huan and Zhou Jing'an also remembered to thank the villager who told them about it: "Thank you, Auntie."
When the oxcart was almost home, Ning Huan saw that there were indeed two horse-drawn carriages parked in front of her house.
One of the carriages belonged to Tao Fuyuan, a classmate who had a close relationship with Zhou Jing'an.
Ning Huan also recognized the other car; it belonged to the manager of Renjitang.
When the two of them arrived at the same time, Ning Huan and Zhou Jing'an exchanged a glance. Could it be that there was news about the house they had asked the two of them to find before?
After Ning Huan got off the carriage, she and Zhu Dali helped Zhou Jing'an off the carriage, and the two of them came forward together to greet him.
"Madam Ning".
"Brother Jing'an."
The two voices rang out at the same time. After Ning Huan and Zhou Jing'an greeted each other, Tao Fuyuan spoke first: "I thought I would come to see Brother Jing'an today and find him empty-handed. I didn't expect that you would actually come back."
"I heard that Brother Jing'an went back to his wife's family home for a visit?"
Zhou Jing'an nodded: "I'm feeling much better now, so I thought I'd go see my parents-in-law. They've taken good care of me before."
Ning Huan opened the door and pushed Zhou Jing'an into the house.
Si Yan and Tao Fuyuan both found Zhou Jing'an's wheelchair quite unusual.
Si Yan asked, "Madam Ning, did you make this chair yourself?"
Ning Huan nodded and introduced, "This is a wheelchair, which is very convenient for patients with leg injuries."
Tao Fuyuan also praised from the side, "Sister-in-law's idea is truly ingenious. I'm afraid no one else could have come up with such a magical chair."
Ning Huan smiled awkwardly, clearly not having been mentally prepared to accept such praise.
Knowing roughly why the two had come, Zhou Jing'an spoke first, asking Tao Fuyuan, "Brother Fuyuan, is there something you need from me?"
Tao Fuyuan nodded and said, "Last time you told me you'd help me look for a house in town, and I actually found a pretty good one. That's why I'm planning to take you to town to have a look today."
Upon hearing this, Si Yan raised an eyebrow and, before asking himself, said, "What a coincidence, Madam Ning. I came here because you asked me to keep an eye out for houses last time. I recently came across a nice one, and I was planning to take you to see it today."
"Judging from what this gentleman is saying, he also wants you to go with Mr. Zhou to see a house. So, whose house did you find today?"
Tao Fuyuan looked at Zhou Jing'an and Ning Huan with confusion: "Brother Jing'an, you brought someone else along. Don't you trust me?"
Si Yan chimed in from the side, "I've never messed up a task that Lady Ning has asked me to do, have I?"
Seeing that the two were about to misunderstand, Ning Huan quickly spoke up to explain, "It's not what you think."
Zhou Jing'an said, "When I asked Brother Fuyuan for help, it was just my own idea; I didn't discuss it with my wife."
Ning Huan nodded: "When I asked Manager Si for help, it was my own idea, and I hadn't told my husband yet. It wasn't until I told him that I realized we had both asked the two of them for help."
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, nor that I think you can’t get things done, which is why I found someone else.”
After hearing Ning Huan's explanation, Tao Fuyuan and Si Yan calmed down considerably. But they quickly realized that although it was a misunderstanding, the two of them had already found a house and were going to take the family there to see it today.
Thinking of this, Si Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Madam Ning, I guarantee you and Mr. Zhou will be satisfied with the house I found. Why don't you go and take a look at mine first? That way you won't have to make another trip."
Tao Fuyuan was not convinced by these words. He pulled Zhou Jing'an aside and said, "Brother Jing'an, the house I found is exactly what you described. It's like a house built just for you. Let's go and see it first."
Ning Huan: ......
Zhou Jing'an: ......
Finally, the two decided to go to the house that Tao Fuyuan had found first, and then to the house that Si Yan had found.
I'll look at both, and then decide which one to choose.
When the four little ones heard that their parents were going out again, they all said they wanted to come along. Ning Huan originally thought they were already exhausted from their trip back from Pang's place that morning.
But considering that the house they live in in town will also be their home in the future, the four little ones should go and see it too.
And so, Ning Huan, along with her three children, boarded Si Yan's carriage.
Da Bao and Xiao Er Bao followed Zhou Jing'an and rode in Tao Fuyuan's carriage to the town.
The two little ones fell asleep as soon as they got into the carriage. Si Yan's carriage was quite spacious, and they slept very comfortably.
Ning Huan took the opportunity to ask, "Are those ointments from the capital still selling well?"
Si Yan nodded, a look of surprise on his face: "The news from Young Master Qi has already caused a sensation throughout the city in just two days. It is said that it has even alarmed the ladies in the palace, and they are trying to buy the Jade Lotus Dew."
Si Yan became more and more excited as he spoke. He had thought that many people would want to buy the things that Ning Niangzi made, but in the capital city where people had seen so many novel and expensive things, they were also eager to buy them.
Most importantly, they made money; they made more money than they ever imagined. Even Young Master Qi hadn't expected to make so much.
