"Thank you, Mr. Taishan, for your guidance." Jiang Hai bowed solemnly to express his gratitude.
"Haha, if you have nothing else to say, tell me about your father. I haven't seen him in many years."
Jiang Hai sat down again and talked to Yuchi Zhong about Binhai County and Jiang Xiuyuan. Of course, he only briefly mentioned the matter of Xincheng without going into details, just to let Yuchi Zhong know that there might be such a place.
While the father-in-law and son-in-law were talking, Yuchi Ziling also came to the main room. Seeing that her father was talking to Jiang Hai enthusiastically, she added some tea and went back to the backyard.
While eating, Jiang Hai thought that before his father-in-law went to the military camp, he should tell his father-in-law and mother-in-law about his plan to leave early and return to southern Xinjiang, and ask for their opinions.
It's the most heartbreaking moment. The daughter they've worked so hard to raise is about to get married, and both parents are going to be upset. But after a daughter grows up, they can't always stay by their side.
Although Su Hui was very reluctant, she finally respected Jiang Hai's wishes and said that it was okay to set off early as long as they didn't miss the auspicious day and time.
Jiang Hai repeatedly reassured the two elders that he would treat his wife well, and finally set the departure date for three days later. According to the previous itinerary for coming to the capital, there would be a three-day buffer time when returning to southern Xinjiang.
After lunch, Yuchi Zhong got up and returned to the military camp. Before leaving, he said that he would come back to see them off when they set off in three days.
Yuchi Ziling took Jiang Hai for a walk in the mansion.
"Jiang Lang, I really won't see you these days. Come back on the day you leave. I want to stay home with my mother. According to etiquette, I can't see you for at least three days before the wedding."
Jiang Hai listened carefully. She seemed a little disappointed when she said this. He could understand. This time, going to southern Xinjiang, she would marry into the Jiang family. It was unknown how long it would take for her to come back next time.
In this era, if a daughter is married off so far away, some families with poor financial conditions will basically have no chance to see her daughter again.
Jiang Hai nodded. "Yeah, okay. But don't be too sad. You can come back anytime you want."
"I know. Mother said that Southern Xinjiang is too far away, so I can make up for the return gift when I have the chance to come back next time."
There was nothing that could be done about it. Normally, the wedding would take place a few days after the wedding. And the journey from southern Xinjiang to the capital alone would take nearly a month.
Jiang Hai nodded to indicate that he understood, and the matter of returning home could only be discussed later.
The summer afternoon was still a bit hot, and the two of them stood under the large tree in the mansion. An occasional breeze brought a bit of coolness. Jiang Hai slowly waved his folding fan, fanning Yuchi Ziling.
"Huh?" Yuchi Ziling looked at Jiang Hai's folding fan. "Why is your folding fan blank today?"
"So, do you want to write something on it?"
Jiang Hai didn't notice it either. He was thinking about going back to southern Xinjiang last night, and went out early in the morning. He casually asked Hao Bo to take a fan and went out.
Yuchi Ziling thought for a moment, then took Jiang Hai's folding fan.
"Let me think about it carefully, and I'll return it to you next time I come."
Jiang Hai nodded in agreement.
After walking for a while, Jiang Hai said, "You go take a nap. I'll go back and ask Uncle Hao and the others to get ready."
Yuchi Ziling heard this and said hello. Seeing Jiang Hai open his arms, as if waiting for a hug, she smiled and didn't refuse this time. She went forward and hugged him for a while before escorting Jiang Hai out of the general's residence.
Jiang Hai was very pleasant on the way out.
"Hey, it's good that Cai'er is not here."
"Are you so displeased with Cai'er? She's going to be my bride price."
"Hehe, I can't say I don't like her, it's just that this girl is a little stubborn. I want to see if she still coughs after we get married." Jiang Hai said.
"Oh, that shouldn't be the case. Cai'er is still very sensible. She is also good at kung fu and is a capable girl." Yuchi Ziling spoke well of Cai'er.
…
Jiang Hai got on his horse, waved goodbye, and left with Wenzhi.
Back at the Jiang residence, Jiang Hai called Uncle Hao and told him about the trip back to Southern Xinjiang that they had agreed to do today, three days later. He told Uncle Hao to prepare well in the next two days.
"Master, why don't you stay a little longer? You're leaving after just a few days." Uncle Hao was a little reluctant.
Hao Bo had always been with Jiang Xiuyuan. Later, when Jiang Hai had the new city on track and his business expanded to the surrounding areas of the capital, Hao Bo was asked to take charge there. It could be said that Hao Bo was an elder who had watched Jiang Hai grow up.
Jiang Hai thought about it and realized that if the business was handed over to Yang Hongye’s Chamber of Commerce, Hao Bo and the others could withdraw.
"Well, Uncle Hao, please make some arrangements first. You may have to go back with me in two days. But I have to contact the Third Prince's people first."
"Young Master, what are you doing...?" Uncle Hao was a little confused. There were a lot of businesses in the capital, and Uncle Hao didn't know what Jiang Hai was planning.
"I plan to hand over the business here to the Third Prince's people. We will just supply the goods. The specific details have not been discussed yet."
"Oh, I see. How about I send someone to send a visiting card to the Third Prince?"
"Okay, let's meet up as soon as possible to arrange things. If you can make it in time, you can come back with me. If not, I'll trouble you to take care of things here before returning."
Uncle Hao said with a smile, "Great, that's great. I can go back to Xincheng." Uncle Hao was also very happy.
After Jiang Hai finished explaining his affairs, he returned to his room. Hao Bo quickly arranged for someone to deliver the invitation to the Third Prince's residence. He also wanted to complete the Young Master's request as soon as possible so that he could follow the Young Master's wedding procession back to Southern Xinjiang to attend the wedding banquet.
The Jiang residence began to get busy, while the general's residence on the other side also began to get busy with the dowry matters.
…
In the evening, Yang Hongye returned home and received a visiting card from Jiang Hai brought by his servant. After taking a look, he knew that Jiang Hai wanted to quickly hand over the business, and he was very happy.
"It seems that the young master of the Jiang family is indeed a man of temperament. He does things in a hurry. Go over to him tomorrow and discuss the matter of taking over the store."
Yang Hongye said happily to his staff.
"Yes, Your Highness. Which company do you want to deliver it to?" the aide asked with a bow.
"Whatever, as long as it's not related to Prince Xuan's Palace."
Yang Hongye put his hands behind his back, gave some instructions and went back to the house. He was in a good mood and had to go and get a concubine.
The staff received the order and retreated.
The next day.
The Third Prince's men, accompanied by a shopkeeper-looking man, arrived at the Jiang residence early.
Jiang Hai was still sleeping soundly. Since he didn't have to go play with his wife today, Jiang Hai didn't plan to get up early.
Hong'er came to the door with a basin of water and knocked.
"Master, get up, there are guests coming."
Jiang Hai heard someone coming in a daze, and replied in a muffled voice, "Hello." Reluctantly getting up, Hong'er heard Jiang Hai's response and pushed the door open to go in.
It was a bit embarrassing. Although Jiang Hai didn't sleep naked, he was only wearing shorts.
