Zhuangzi now has her 17,000 taels of gold. A large box is simply too heavy to lift, but fortunately there are still many small boxes, which should have been prepared to exchange for gold at that time. Each small box can hold about 2,000 taels of gold. The carriage can only carry three boxes at a time. They went back and forth carefully, and it took them a whole day to transfer all the gold and silver after four trips.
After the money was transferred away, Wang Shiwen felt relieved, thinking that he could sleep peacefully in the future and the cellar he dug could be used to store vegetables in the winter.
After all the things were transported to the house, with Xiaohua's help, she moved all the gold and silver to the cellar. It took a lot of effort. In the end, she was so tired that she sat on the ground. Looking at the neatly stacked boxes in the cellar, she was still very happy. She felt at ease knowing that the money was under her nose.
Coming out of the cellar and restoring the stone slab, she opened the door and looked at Xiaohua outside, "It's done."
Xiaohua was so tired that she sat down on the stone steps at the door to rest. She had been unable to move the box just now, so she packed her things into a bag and brought them back to the room, then moved the box down and put it down, and finally stacked the money back. This routine felt like a day of hard labor. "Miss, how about I get you some water so you can take a bath? The meal is ready. I'll tell Sister Ximei to bring it over later." She stood up and looked inside the room. "It should be ready for us to go in later."
"That's what I was thinking. Go ask Sister Ximei and the others to fetch some water so you can go take a shower. It's so tiring and hot here, and you'll feel uncomfortable if you don't." It's already June, and it's starting to get hot.
"Miss, Sister Songzhi said that my uncle came today and brought you a letter. I put it on the table in your bedroom while you were busy downstairs. Remember to read it."
"Where is the letter from?" She was a little curious about who would write to her.
Xiaohua shook her head and said, "I didn't ask and I didn't look. You'll know when you see it." Then she went to get someone to fetch some water.
Chunxiao was curious, so she went back to the bedroom and picked up the letter on the table. When she opened it, she found that it was from Dongsheng. He said that he had bought all the shops, including one in the county and six others. He was afraid that the letter would be lost, so he didn't bring it back with the letter. Now he has set up seventeen strongholds in the north. He is now setting up in Huiquan County, Dongjiang Prefecture, and will probably leave after early June. He asked her if she wanted to go and see him and talk about the share issue. He couldn't come back for a month or so.
After reading the letter, Chunxiao felt the urge to go for a walk. Firstly, everything was already in place here, and secondly, the profit-sharing arrangement might not be beneficial in the long run, especially with so many sites already built. Shuwen was getting married in August, and then the harvest would come, making it even harder to leave. She hadn't prepared a gift for Shuwen's wedding yet, and she didn't have any jewelry herself. If she went, she could go to Lan County and buy some things. After putting the letter away, she made up her mind.
