Chapter 244: Rich but Not Much



Dabao and Erbao were very happy. They went to the foot of the mountain early in the morning to dig out the treasures they had buried. The two little guys put the box in their arms and ran home happily.

Gousheng, Goudan, Tudiu and Erniu, the children in the village, agreed to give Dabao and Erbao a farewell party.

They stole some food from their home and hid behind the Gu Mansion waiting for Dabao and Erbao.

"Dabao, Erbao. Come here quickly." Erniu saw Dabao and Erbao running back from the back mountain and stopped them halfway.

"Erniu, what's the matter?" Dabao shouted anxiously, wanting to go home.

"I heard from Niu Dan that you are going to Jinyang Prefecture. A few of us will give you a farewell party. A big boss should travel in style." Erniu also wanted to be the boss. Now that Dabao is not at home, is it his turn to be the boss?

Dabao smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and his eyes were not.

"What are you giving us as a farewell?"

"There's wine. I went to get some for my dad and poured out half of it. I also poured some water in for my dad to drink."

"Okay." Erbao patted his chest and said. He also wanted to taste the wine.

Several little guys hid together.

Tudiu and his friends envied Dabao and Erbao because the farthest place they had ever been was their respective maternal grandparents' homes.

"Dabao, when will you take us out for a walk?"

Dabao took the wine jug, closed his eyes and took a sip. It tasted a bit hard.

The little fellow put down the wine pot and quickly took a plum and put it in his mouth. "When I grow up, I will take you to the capital. To Jiangnan, to Nanli Kingdom, and to Dongqi."

Dabao reads a lot of books and knows a lot of knowledge.

Tudiu clapped his hands enviously, "Dabao is amazing. I want to follow Dabao in the future."

Erbao glanced at everyone and asked, why are they all hanging out with Dabao?

He can't be alone, right?

"Tudiu, you are my soldier. You can't run to someone else." Erbao stuffed the box that was about to show in his arms back in.

Tudiu has a bit of a headache.

"Erbao, you should hang out with Dabao too."

"No way." Erbao glared at Tudiu and shouted angrily.

"Brother Erniu, I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back." Dabao stood up and patted Erbao's head. "Hurry home. Mother will punish us again soon."

"My uncles got beaten again. My mother is more ferocious than the most ferocious tiger." Erbao stood up obediently. "You must behave yourself when you see my mother next time."

They have been very well behaved lately.

Seeing my uncles get beaten every two or three days, they naturally became well-behaved.

When Dabao and Erbao returned home, they happened to meet Su Qi and the others who were loading things onto the carriage.

Su Tiantong and a few others were very happy.

Since the bandit's second sister was not at home, they lived a comfortable life.

Su Qi looked at the happy faces of Su Tiantong and the others and loudly instructed Xiao Liuzi, "Xiao Liuzi, report all matters in the mansion to Miss Ting. Don't forget to punish them with a stick or a whip."

Xiao Liuzi suppressed a smile and said, "Madam, I will remember this."

Su Tiantong and his friends were confused. Why were these girls from the Su family's main branch making such a fuss?

Normally, they never had the courage to complain in front of the old lady in the mansion. How could they be suppressed outside the mansion?

"Second sister, do we want to go back to the capital?" Su Tiantong thought that he could afford to avoid the trouble.

Su Qi raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Grandmother said that you can live here for a few years. Starting tomorrow, you will take classes with Master Qian in the morning and practice martial arts in the morning."

"We just came to see you. Now it's time to go home." Su Tianyi couldn't accept the fact that he still had to practice martial arts.

Their legs should be broken.

"If you want to go home, you can run back by yourself. But if you encounter robbers or wild beasts along the way, I don't know if your weak arms and legs can make it to the capital."

"Won't your caravan take us?"

Su Qi sneered, "No need to see you off. Do you think you can come and go as you please in my Gu family?" After saying that, she gave him a cold look.

"Stop talking nonsense here. Second sister and the others still have to hurry on their way." Su Ting walked over and pulled Su Tiantong over.

Su Qi got on the carriage, and the family left Mengjiazhuang and headed for Jinyang Prefecture.

The two little guys, Dabao and Erbao, were very happy staying in the carriage.

They lifted the car curtain and greeted Erniu and others who came to see them off.

He also told Tu Diu not to forget to play with Xibei, as Niu Xibei had caught a cold and couldn't go out. He was taking medicine in the house.

Gu Beiheng took a pillow and placed it next to him for Su Qi to lean on. He also put down the small table in the middle.

Use silver charcoal to warm a pot of boiling water.

Making tea while sitting in the carriage.

The two little guys, Dabao and Erbao, kept pestering Su Qi to tell them stories.

Gu Beiheng's eyebrows twitched, and he said with a bit of displeasure: "Let your mother have a good rest for a while. You guys go out and play with Zeng Wuming."

Erbao put his hands on his hips and stared at Gu Beiheng with a pout: "Daddy is not good at all. He only knows how to monopolize Mommy."

Dabao didn't say anything but hid in Su Qi's arms cunningly, "Mom, I'm sleepy."

Su Qi took the blanket beside her and put it on Dabao, "Then you sleep for a while."

Gu Beiheng sighed. His wish to spend some time alone with Su Qi was interrupted again.

"Qiqi. They're already grown up, don't spoil them like that."

In Su Qi's eyes, the two children are still young.

"It won't be like that in two years." Su Qi reached out and took Gu Beiheng's hand, gently holding his palm.

Gu Beiheng's irritable mood quickly calmed down.

Passed through Yun County.

They chose an open space to rest.

We plan to set up camp here at night.

Gu Beiheng asked Ying Jiu and Ying Shi to set up two tents.

Ying Shiyi went to find water and started to cook. Bai Zhi and Zeng Wuming also came back from looking for firewood.

Su Qi and Xiang He are responsible for cooking.

The two little guys, Dabao and Erbao, are responsible for feeding the horses.

There were two carriages in total for the trip, and we carried a lot of things.

The weather is still cold, so I brought plenty of food with me, and I don't plan to cut back on their rations.

Su Qi cooked a pot of braised pork with potatoes, and another pot of boiled three fresh dishes, which included fish, meat soup and luncheon meat.

Xianghe heated up the steamed buns she brought and cooked a casserole of rice.

Everyone is equal to master and servant.

Everyone gathered together to eat.

A bonfire was lit nearby.

A carriage was approaching from a distance. Two carriages were parked in the open space, and it looked like they were going to stay there for the night.

The people in the carriage also thought about staying here overnight.

There is safety in numbers.

A man who looked like a housekeeper came over and saw that Su Qi and the others were all wearing fine cotton clothes. He knew that these people were rich but not much, otherwise they would not be wearing silk clothes.

"Excuse me, everyone. Our lady went to Jinyang Prefecture and missed the inn. She plans to camp here." The housekeeper spoke slowly and in a very easy-going manner.

Gu Beiheng glanced at Su Qi and said:

"Please."

"Thank you." The housekeeper's eyes fell on the dishes made by Su Qi.

The color of the braised pork looks good, and the smell of that dish is so good that I have never seen it before.

The butler looked at the dishes with a deadly look, then stepped back.

After a while, four carriages stopped.

Someone led the horse to a tree trunk not far from Su Qi and his little red horse and tied it to the tree trunk, and someone started to light a fire to prepare cooking.

"Excuse me, where is the water source?"

Ying Shiyi pointed to the right rear and said, "There's a pond over there."

Su Qi picked up a piece of braised pork and ate it. She raised her eyes slightly and saw a lady in her thirties getting off one of the carriages.

She looked very gentle, and there were two young men around twenty years old beside her.

The lady looked at Su Qi and gave Su Qi a very gentle smile.

This smile made Su Qi feel that she was very beautiful.
