Chapter 157 Yuncang Kingdom
Wen Zhenyi was not too sad about Xiao Abu's departure. She had long been accustomed to separations, and some separations were even forever.
For her, separation like this, with the chance to see each other again in the future, is a happy thing.
Shen Xiucai stood beside her and said, "You are a very lucky girl."
“Why did Grandpa Shen say that?”
"They are the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Yuncang Country. They are visiting our country to sign a peace agreement. If something happens to them in our country, the consequences can be imagined."
"It was just a coincidence. Being able to avoid a war is a blessing for both the people and the soldiers."
Shen Xiucai stroked his beard and smiled, "Your luck is truly unfathomable!"
"How can one clearly explain the concept of luck?"
"The town's curfew will be lifted tomorrow."
"That's good news. The town is quite lively at night."
Shen Xiucai spoke to her in a low voice, and the others didn't know what they were talking about: "Okay, it's time for us to go back to the private school. We have classes tomorrow morning."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: “Grandpa Shen, what do you want to eat tomorrow?”
"By the way, your breakfast won't change in the past two weeks, right?"
"yes."
"The teacher at our private school asked me to ask if I could give them a portion to try as well."
"Of course I can deliver it, but I don't have enough manpower here, and my father can't deliver so many. I have to ask someone to deliver it. But each delivery costs one penny, and they need to pay for it themselves. If they are willing, it's naturally no problem."
"So, you mean, add a penny to everything?"
"yes."
Wen Zhenyi originally planned to charge five cents for each address delivered, but this was not very cost-effective, as the delivery person would earn less. It would be better to charge one cent more for each item. If people ordered more, he would earn more.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask when it can be delivered."
"I don't have time in my shop these two days, so I have to wait a few days."
"Okay, I'll go back and ask and get back to you tomorrow."
When Shen Hanxing heard her say to add an extra penny, it was different from what they had discussed before. But after thinking about it, he knew why. He was planning to let the delivery person earn a little more.
Even though it only costs one cent per serving, if you order a lot, they will probably make a lot of money.
Wen Yongman was in a low mood. He felt reluctant to leave his friend behind.
Wen Zhenyi rubbed his head and said, "When you grow up, maybe you can meet him again."
"Sister, will he still remember me by then?"
"Maybe you remember him, maybe you don't. As you grow up, you will slowly forget him."
Wen Yongman frowned: "Why?"
"Because you will encounter more people and more things in the future, and some things that you don't remember often will slowly be forgotten."
Wen Yongman was a little confused after hearing this. He seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. However, he still went back to the private school with Wen Yongnan.
Wen Yongnan looked at Wen Zhenyi and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He turned around and left with Shen Xiucai.
Wen Zhenyi originally wanted to ask, but seeing that he had already walked far away, he could only ask tomorrow.
Ma Yinghe and the others were still in a bad mood. Although they had not spent much time with little Abu, they really liked this sensible and well-behaved child.
"Everyone, go to bed right after you finish washing."
After Wen Zhenyi and everyone returned to their rooms, he sat in the yard and poured two glasses of water on the table: "Axiang, sit down and rest for a while."
Ah Xiang came out from the darkness and sat down opposite her: "Master, aren't you going to rest?"
"I'm used to going to bed late, and I can't sleep if I go to bed too early."
"It's not good to sleep late."
Wen Zhenyi looked at her with a smile: "You said it as if you can go to bed early."
Ah Xiang was slightly stunned: "We are different, I am a secret guard."
"Can you cook?"
Ah Xiang shook his head: "No."
"Can you wash clothes, do needlework, and farm?"
Axiang still shook his head.
"So what can you do?"
Ah Xiang said calmly: "Fighting, killing."
Wen Zhenyi felt a little helpless. He had fought and killed people before, but it seemed that he was not idle either. He had done a lot of things: "Won't you be bored?"
"My mission is to protect the master."
Wen Zhenyi didn't know whether to call her rigid or loyal: "A Xiang is your name?"
Ah Xiang didn't answer immediately this time. Instead, she remained silent for a long time. A rare touch of sadness appeared on her face. Her voice was a little hoarse than usual: "It's my brother's name."
Wen Zhenyi didn't ask any more questions. He knew what had happened from her expression: "Let's go to the village tomorrow."
Ah Xiang didn't react for a moment: "Did I do something wrong?"
"No, it's just that I hope you are not in the dark, but in front of people."
"I can only better protect you in the dark."
"Ah Xiang, how old are you?"
"sixteen."
"You can protect me in the open, not necessarily in the dark." Wen Zhen said with a smile.
"Openly?"
"Well, so you have to go to the village and find my grandparents. You can learn needlework, farming, cooking, and some life skills from them. And you can help me protect them."
"My job is to protect you."
"I am your master now, so you have to obey my orders."
Ah Xiang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted: "Yes, I will go there early tomorrow morning."
"Sit down, sit down. You don't have to act like you are with little Abu here. Otherwise, you will seem out of place."
"Then I'll go back tomorrow. What if the old man and the others don't accept it?"
"It's okay. I'll ask my dad to write a letter tomorrow and you can just take it back." Wen Zhenyi felt a little depressed when he said this. He was so busy recently that he didn't even have time to learn to read.
She needs to free up some time to learn how to read and write, otherwise she will never be able to become independent.
Ah Xiang watched the expression on her face change: "Master, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, go to bed early today."
"yes."
Wen Zhen stood up and prepared to leave: "If you haven't eaten, the kitchen has left some food for you. You can serve it yourself and remember to wash the dishes." After saying that, he went back to his room and closed the door.
Axiang looked at the closed door, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards the kitchen.
She had received night vision training before, so she could find the food that Wen Zhenyi had warmed in the pot for her without even turning on the oil lamp when she went to the kitchen.
The food inside was what had been eaten in the evening, and a lot of each was left for her. She brought the food to the table in the backyard.
The food didn't taste as good as it did when it was freshly cooked, but it made her feel the warmth she had longed for.
