Chapter 339: Time reveals a person's true character
The old beggar who often guarded the door of the "Daohuaxiang" store and occasionally appeared out of nowhere also decided to follow Xia Daohua.
Xia Daohua laughed at him for being dependent on her, but the old beggar smiled and said:
"Mrs. Xia has a good heart. I feel at ease following you to make a living."
Xia Daohua knew that this old beggar had some skills.
At least he is very good at gathering information.
She was quite happy that the old beggar was willing to follow her - it was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, and she could get long-term help, so why not do it?
In addition to the old beggar and the people from "Puji Rescue", Wei Shiqi also has a group of subordinates who are quite useful.
Although most of them require Eunuch Wei's warrant to mobilize, Wei Shiqi still has a seal left to him by Eunuch Wei, which can be used as a warrant when necessary.
Since Wei Shiqi married Xia Lihua, he has become closer to the Xia family. When he learned that Xia Daohua had fallen out with the Wang family, he ran over and revealed his cards, wanting to help his sister-in-law get revenge.
Xia Daohua rejected Wei Shiqi's good intentions straightforwardly, and only asked him to protect his sister and family. Wei Shiqi gladly accepted the order, and even seemed eager to try.
Xia Daohua found it funny, but she knew clearly in her heart that Wei Shiqi was so enthusiastic not just because she was his sister-in-law.
The matter of Eunuch Wei had not been resolved, and Wei Shiqi was extremely anxious, but he had nowhere to start, and he was originally full of worries. This frustration with nowhere to vent became more and more serious, and this time he took advantage of Xia Daohua's matter to confront the Wang family, and just found a way out.
At Gu Shanrou's place, Xia Daohua said goodbye to her and told her about the grudges with the Wang family, but she was unwilling to let the little princess take revenge for her.
Firstly, she didn't want to involve Gu Shanrou in these things. Secondly, she felt that it would be more satisfying to take revenge with her own hands.
Gu Shanrou was a little worried. After hesitating for a long time, she gave Xia Daohua a post card that was only for the royal family of Great Chu. With this post card, as long as she was in the land of Great Chu, there was no place she couldn't go.
She was thinking that when necessary, she could let Xia Daohua go to the emperor to file a complaint based on this post.
Although the emperor has always disliked this kind of behavior, he has always been favored and is very sensible most of the time. Even if he occasionally behaves willfully, there shouldn't be any serious consequences...
In fact, Gu Shanrou was a little nervous, but she liked Xia Daohua very much, especially since although they didn't know each other much, they were very close, and she didn't want anything to happen to this friend.
To this end, she not only gave Xia Daohua a note, but also planned to lend her two guards to protect her safety.
Xia Daohua accepted the invitation but politely declined the guard's offer - are you kidding me? With a martial arts master following her, how could she enter and exit the space as she pleased?
But she was still very grateful for Gu Shanrou's kindness to her. Even the hurt caused by Wang's betrayal seemed to be healed by Gu Shanrou.
The girl Gu Shanrou is really kind and gentle, and lives up to her name.
Although Wang appeased Magistrate Yang and blocked the news of the robbery at home, she could not stop her rebellious cousin Wang Silang. Wang Silang was very angry and shouted that he must take revenge when he learned that the incident at his sister's home might be caused by the person behind the little girl he had flirted with but failed.
Xia Daohua had originally thought that Wang Silang would come to her house, and she had already prepared a big gift for him. She never expected that this guy, who was tough on the outside, would actually run away faster than a thief when he saw that the situation was not good.
After having a huge quarrel with Wang in anger and parting on bad terms, Wang Silang actually ran out of Jixiang County in a hurry and ran back to the Wang family's territory day and night.
Wang Shi saw Wang Silang's letter and found out where he really was going. She was filled with mixed emotions, angry, amused, sad, and indescribable.
This brother is no longer the simple playboy he used to be.
However, Xia Daohua's food supply route was completely cut off. Where could she find such a good partner in the future when there was another crisis? Moreover, although she had strictly sealed the news, there was no wall that was impenetrable. Would Silang be able to keep his mouth shut when he returned to the family?
While Wang was feeling depressed, confused and in pain, Xia Daohua stayed in Jixiang County for another ten days and then took her whole family to the capital.
The house and land were rented out, and most of the furniture and belongings were left behind, leaving only some exquisite and valuable items and gold and silver jewelry with them.
Most of the livestock were sold, but the mule carts and donkeys were taken away - these were needed for moving.
This move seemed hasty, but the preparation was much more thorough than the last time we fled from famine.
Xia Daohua borrowed some smart and capable subordinates from Wei Shiqi and rushed to the capital city first to prepare the way. He had already booked a clean inn so that the Xia family would have a place to stay when they arrived.
He also took the time to look at several houses and waited for Xia Daohua and his party to arrive in the capital and take a look at them before deciding which one to buy.
The Xia family traveled in the morning and slept at night, taking advantage of good weather in the morning and evening to cover more distance and getting enough rest at noon and at night - after all, the capital city was very close to Jixiang County - and although they walked slowly, they were only a little dusty when they arrived in the capital city, but not haggard.
After checking into the inn, taking a shower, eating and sleeping enough to regain some energy, Xia Daohua took her family to look at houses.
Everyone unanimously took a fancy to a large courtyard in the south city.
This courtyard was built only a few years ago. Sufficient materials were used when the house was built, and the workmanship was excellent. The walls and roof are about 80% new and do not require much renovation.
However, because no one had lived there for a long time, the weeds in the yard grew very lush, which looked a bit creepy.
However, the Xia family were genuine farmers, and when they saw the weeds growing so well, their first reaction was not whether the house was haunted or not, but rather - this yard is nice, and the land is really fertile!
Besides, there are many houses in this courtyard. Even though the Xia family has many people, they can all live there without having to separate. And if Xia Yujiao and Xia Lihua bring their son-in-law back to their parents' home, they can also live there.
This made the old couple very satisfied. They smiled so much that the wrinkles on their faces were smoothed out and even their eyes were narrowed.
The old couple always selectively forget the fact that the Xia family has been divided. They always hope to keep the whole family together and stay together, and they are reluctant to let them separate.
Xia Daohua can understand this feeling.
As long as it doesn't interfere with her business, she doesn't mind living in a big family or living alone away from everyone.
Since the old couple had no objections, and this courtyard was located in the south city and happened to be the cheapest among the several houses, it naturally won the favor of others.
The old couple quickly made the decision to buy the house. With the old couple in charge and everyone in the family being skilled at work, the house was quickly ready.
Old Master Xia looked through the almanac for a long time and found the nearest auspicious day, and the whole family happily moved in.
