"Brother, don't say that. Every member of the family has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the family."
He added, "Miss Qiao is not only your friend, but also my friend."
"Alright, I've arranged to meet Miss Qiao three days from now at 9 PM. You can come and say a few words to her then."
"No way, it's not like I'm the one who likes her." Pei Shijiu looked up at the sky.
No one comes to him first, yet he still fawns over them. He has his pride and dignity too, okay?
"Okay, I won't call you then." Pei Zhujin wanted to tease her younger brother.
"Brother, you're not keeping your word. This is not how an elder brother should set an example."
Pei Zhujin's face showed a hint of helplessness, but also a touch of doting affection. His younger brother was always saying one thing and meaning another.
Qiao Lian'er also woke up late and realized that using this kind of telepathic communication still took a lot of energy.
But it's really useful. Now that she's connected with the Pei brothers, she can know the progress in the capital and make arrangements accordingly.
With her heart at ease, she began driving the carriage again, taking the women of her household to the county town.
Both county towns had shops, and one carriage wasn't enough, so Qiao Lian'er went and bought a large carriage and a horse.
The other carriage was driven by Qiao Zhizhi. After breakfast, the two sisters set off separately.
This improves management efficiency and allows for a balance between both aspects.
It's the beginning of the month now, and as agreed, Qiao Yunni is going to Yuezhou for five days.
Qiao Lian'er also wanted to know about her maternal grandparents' current situation.
For safety on the road, it's best to have ten cavalrymen accompany you.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed.
This was Qiao Yunni's first time in Yuezhou. Looking at the streets and shops, she felt a mix of emotions.
All of this was so unfamiliar to her; if she hadn't been abandoned in the countryside hundreds of miles away, she should be very familiar with this place.
As the days drew near, whenever Old Madam Chu heard a carriage passing by outside, she would come out to take a look.
Now she has excellent hearing and eyesight, and can see things very clearly, just like a normal person.
She went out to look for her daughter many times, but couldn't find her, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
As the sun began to set, Old Master Chu returned from his shift and saw that his wife looked exactly the same as when he left early that morning. He said, "Madam, it's a three-hundred-mile journey, and we're traveling by horse-drawn carriage. With all the stops along the way, we won't get much faster. We probably won't arrive until dark."
"I'm not afraid they'll be late, I'm just afraid they'll forget." Old Madam Chu looked somewhat bewildered. "The Qiao family is so kind, if it were me, I wouldn't want to leave for even a day."
"Oh dear, Madam, what are you thinking? The Qiao family is kind, and we will treat our daughter and granddaughter with all our love."
"I had the kitchen prepare a huge feast, and the dishes are almost all served now," said Madam Chu. "I hope they arrive soon so they can have the food while it's still piping hot."
Qiao Lian'er drove the carriage into Wanglong Lane and stopped in front of the Chu family's gate.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she smelled the aroma of food wafting from the yard. Having eaten dry rations all day on the journey, the smell of home instantly whetted her appetite.
"Grandpa, Grandma," she called out.
"My sickle, my Yunni!" Old Madam Chu ran out with her arms outstretched.
Old Master Chu, who had just calmed her down, quickened his pace, his face showing urgency.
This was the first time my daughter had come home.
