Chapter 356 Farewell Gift
Mu Yihan nodded with satisfaction.
He actually had some selfish motives in making such an arrangement.
Although Xiao Nuobao was very talented, he always stayed in the countryside and inevitably lacked experience. If he was taken to the palace in the future, he would be bullied.
That was why he had to pave the way for the land and let the Jiang family get to know the noble families.
In this way, step by step, when they move to the capital in the future, Xiao Nuobao will be able to thrive.
He looked like an old father, not saying much, but arranging everything in detail.
Ah Li narrowed his eyes.
The Imperial Master seemed to have become more humane.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Yihan noticed it and stared at him with disdain.
Ali stuck out his tongue, and then he put the silver in his pocket and went to buy clothes for Nuobao to attend the banquet.
After half a day of hard work, he spent a lot of silver.
Ali's legs were so tired from running that he waited until the moon was high in the sky before he came back with a lot of bags.
The new clothes on the kang were full of luxury, including a lotus root powder Zhang satin bodice and a short horse mask made of soft smoky silk and silver. There were
also Shu brocade curved toe shoes with purple jade beads on the toes, a pair of gold-studded topaz bracelets, and a soft necklace with red southern beads. The whole set was simply a perfect match!
Little Nuobao was so beautiful that she almost fainted. She couldn't bear to think about wearing all of them. How happy she would be.
As the night deepened, Xiao Nuobao hugged the new clothes and ran to the "sea view room". He lay on Mu Yihan and fell asleep.
The next morning.
The sun shone through the clouds and sparsely hit the glass window, reflecting a light blue in the whole room.
The pearls, shell beads and green crystals on the ground were illuminated by the morning light and also emitted a soft glow.
The chirping of birds outside the window kicked off the busy day of Xianquanju and also woke up the little fat girl who was sleeping with the sea in her arms.
After yawning, Xiao Nuobao got up in a daze and found that Mu Yihan was gone.
Fengmiao and Wangfu took the seats beside him. They were sitting side by side, copying each other's lessons.
Seeing his sister wake up, Feng Miao quickly got down, got the urinal, and pushed Wangfu out again.
"Where's Uncle Mu? Why isn't he here? Did he go to eat?" Xiao Nuobao asked, tugging at his hair.
Feng Miao helped his sister pee as usual, and shook his head, "Master, he left before dawn, saying he didn't want to wake you up. He even tucked you in before he left."
Xiao Nuobao exclaimed, feeling empty and lost.
Of course Mu Yihan wouldn't say that he left without saying goodbye on purpose.
Otherwise, if the little guy started crying and making a fuss, he would be soft-hearted and couldn't leave.
Xiao Nuobao collapsed back on the pillow, covering his face and sighing uncomfortably.
At this moment, something under the quilt suddenly pricked her. When she
lifted the quilt, Xiao Nuobao was stunned. She saw a bag of gold, bulging, hidden under the quilt!
Needless to say, it was obviously left for her by Mu Yihan on purpose.
Xiao Nuobao was so happy that she shrank her shoulders, hugged the bag of gold and stretched her waist.
With the comfort of gold, Xiao Nuobao's loss was reduced a little, and she realized that she was hungry.
She stayed in the sea view room, reluctant to go out, and asked Fengmiao to bring in breakfast.
Soon, the three children sat around a small table made of pearls and started to eat.
The Jiang family had egg lazy cakes in the morning. Although it was called "lazy cakes", Li Qiqiao was not lazy at all. She added several egg yolks, pork shreds and green onions, and baked them golden and soft.
The three children enjoyed the meal very much. Fengmiao even picked up a shell from the ground and used it as a spoon to scoop porridge.
Early winter is the cat winter.
The villagers rarely go out, and most of them stay at home.
But the Jiang family can't sit still. After receiving the deed, of course they have to go to collect the farm and look after the shop.
The farm is handed over to Fengnian. After all, it is winter, and there is no work there. Just a visit is enough.
As for the shop, Feng and Li Qiqiao went to take a look, and brought Xiao Lanyi with them to help take a look.
Xiao Lanyi was very happy, and immediately went to prepare the carriage. After
eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Nuobao rolled around in the house for a few times, then jumped onto Feng Miao's back and headed home.
When she arrived at the door, she saw her mother was going out, so she jumped down quickly and got into the carriage without saying a word, fearing that her mother would not take her with her.
Feng grabbed her wrist, as if she had grabbed a live loach, and finally dragged her out.
"How can mother not bring you along? Let your brother Xiao heat up the firebox in the carriage first,
then you can go in." Little Nuobao hugged his mother's neck, nodded with a giggle, and went back to the house to change into thick clothes.
The weather was cold, and the frost on the path had not yet disappeared, so the wheels of the carriage could easily slip.
Xiao Lanyi drove slowly along the way.
Only when they entered the city did he remember to ask, "By the way, auntie, is your shop in the east or west of the city? Which way are we going?"
"Ali said it's in Weirui Lane. After entering the lane, on the second street, it's the sixth shop from the south." Mrs. Feng's voice came through the curtain of the carriage.
When they heard that it was Weirui Lane, Xiao Nuobao and Xiao Lanyi both narrowed their eyes.
That area was the most prosperous, and it was close to the Academy and Qincaiju. It seemed that the Imperial Master had really considered the Jiang family very carefully.
After entering West Street, Xiao Lanyi parked the carriage, and the three of them walked forward.
Sure enough, when they arrived, they saw an empty shop, without even a sign hanging, just waiting for them to take it over.
Feng took out a copper key and unlocked it, only to find that the shop not only had a good foundation, but was also very spacious inside, with north-south access, and there was another room upstairs.
"If the business is successful in the future, the downstairs can be used to sell things, and the upstairs can be tidied up to make two bedrooms, so that Feng Jing can come and live here from time to time." Feng said happily.
Xiao Nuobao also clapped her hands.
This way, in the future, if she missed her fourth brother or the cherry pancakes at Tanqincaiju, she would stay here for a night.
After looking at the shop, Feng was very happy. She walked out and looked at the neighborhood.
The traders on the streets were all gathered together.
Since the shop was to be used as a bookstore for the Jiang family, the place chosen was surrounded by shops selling writing materials, paper, pens, calligraphy and paintings.
However, the imperial master and his men did not know Yuncheng well after all. Although they gave the shop, the Jiang family had to pay attention to the business and could not be careless.
Li Qiqiao was cautious. After she came out, she saw a woman not far away and wanted to ask her a few questions.
"Sister, I wonder if the shops around here are doing well on weekdays?" She asked with a smile.
The woman was running a writing shop. When she looked up and saw that she came out of an empty shop, her eyes rolled.
"Hey, sister, you are not going to open a shop here, are you? Then I have to advise you to save your energy!"
"What do you mean?" Li Qiqiao hesitated.
The woman sighed and pointed at Jiang's shop and said, "Three consecutive shops here have lost everything. Think about it yourself, otherwise, can you sell this good shop in Weirui Lane to others?"
After hearing this, Li Qiqiao's eyes widened, and her heart was beating fast.
Ah... Could it be that this is a shop that looks good but is not useful?
