The next day she went to Yan Bingfa's place and told him that she was going out.
Everyone was obviously a little surprised by her sudden departure. "Didn't you say you'd leave Zhuangzi's affairs for the time being? Why are you leaving again? It's already June."
"The Ma Xing's base is almost finished now. I have to go take a look. After all, I have a share in it. I also asked Dongsheng to buy a shop for me. I have to know where my shop is, right? Don't worry, this time we will follow the Ma Xing's convoy and it will be safe on the road. Don't worry, I will definitely be back in July." She looked at Shuwen with a smile, "I will bring you a gift when I come back."
"Since you've decided to be careful on the road, I think it'll be hard to get you to really rest."
"Don't you know she likes to run around outside? I'd feel more at ease if she went with Dongsheng. Pack everything when you leave, so you don't get lost on the way. It would be troublesome. Are you only taking Xiaohua with you?"
"Well, Xiaohua drives the carriage well. I can't live without her anymore." Chunxiao smiled. "I'll bring you gifts when I come back."
"Who cares about your gift? Just bring yourself back safely."
In this way, Chunxiao took Xiaohua on a long journey again. Before leaving, she told the four people in the family that if they went to the fields, someone would be left at home to watch over them. When she was not there, no one else except her family members should be allowed in. She would just say that the owner was not at home. Reasonable people would naturally listen to her, but if they were unreasonable, even if it was an emergency, she would not be able to stop them.
There were more than 8,000 taels of silver notes at home, and she carried them all with her in case of need.
The weather was hot, the carriage door was not closed, and the curtains were rolled up, so there was a cool breeze as we moved.
"Miss, can we go to the county town by car? What if there is no caravan heading north?"
"If we don't have it, we can just go on our own. It's not like we haven't been here before."
"But we've never been to Huiquan County, and I'm not familiar with this route. I'm worried we'll get lost."
"We'll talk about it when we get to the horse dealership. If that doesn't work, we can ask someone familiar with the route to give us a ride. Why can't I be a business?"
"Miss, you still have many ways."
It's not that she has many ideas, it's that she has a lot of money. With money, most things are not a problem.
The two of them arrived at the carriage dealership in the afternoon. When Wangfu saw her, he thought she was here to see Yan Qi. When he heard that she was going to Huiquan County, he said, "Someone from the Huiquan carriage dealership came over a few days ago. If I had known you were going, I would have asked them to wait for two days."
The letter must have been delivered by the carriage company. Naturally, they wouldn't stay for more than a few days. She smiled and said, "Then I'll give you a deal. Find someone to drive us to Huiquan. We won't use your carriage, but I'll pay for the travel expenses."
Wangfu smiled and said, "You are the boss. It is only natural for you to go to Huiquan to find someone to deliver it. Why are you asking for money?"
"Of course I have to pay you. Don't worry about who I am. Just treat it as business. I'll calculate it the right way. You're in charge of the accounts, so you know it best."
Wangfu nodded. "Okay, I'll find you one of the most reliable people here. He just got back yesterday. How are you going to leave?"
"We're not familiar with the route, so you guys arrange it. We can go whenever you think it's appropriate. After this run, we'll be familiar with it and won't need anyone to lead us next time."
After discussing it, they decided to rest in the county town for one night and set off the next day. There were many people coming and going in the carriage shop, so Chunxiao and Xiaohua left the carriage in the carriage shop and asked someone to take care of it, while they found an inn nearby to rest.
Early the next morning, the two men arrived at the carriage shop. The horses had been fed with hay and water, and the coachman was ready. He knew that the one leading the way this time was one of the owners, so he was very respectful and careful.
With the coachman, Xiaohua was free. She sat in the carriage with Chunxiao, "Miss, do you want to eat something?" Yesterday evening, the master and servant went for a walk and bought a lot of snacks and pastries. They were probably enough to eat everywhere they went.
The weather was hot, so Chunxiao wasn't very interested in these snacks. "Ice jelly would be a relief from the heat at this time, but these will make you get a sore throat."
"Miss, you miss the ice jelly sold near Ruyun Manor. It's cool and sweet and very refreshing."
She really didn't think of that, she thought of ice.
"Master Wei, how long does it take to get to Huiquan?"
"Boss, we have to go to Tongzhou Prefecture first, and then enter Dongjiang Prefecture. It will take about 7 days if we take the carriage in front, and about 9 days if we take the express carriage to Huiquan."
The ninth day would be fine, but Dongjiang's letter said that he would stay in Huiquan until the first ten days of the month, so she didn't know if she could make it on that day. If she couldn't, she would have to find someone. Thinking of this, she began to complain about ancient transportation again.
"Master Wei, will we go to Pengdong County this time?" Xiaohua asked. If she went to Pengdong, she might be able to take some time to visit her sister.
"If we go through Pengdong, the journey will take two days. Do you two want to go through Pengdong?" The driver turned and looked at them. No one had told him this before.
Xiaohua smiled and waved her hands, "No, no, we haven't been there before, so we just need to ask for clarification." It looked like it was indeed a brand new route. She looked at Chunxiao and said, "Don't worry, miss. I will definitely memorize the new route."
Chunxiao was not good at remembering the way at all. "Just try your best. It's okay if you can't remember it." The journey was so long, with a mountain road on the left and a fork in the road there. It was hard to say whether you would be able to walk on it in the future. It would be great if you could remember it, but there was nothing to worry about if you couldn't. At worst, you could ask someone to deliver it to you later. It would only cost a few taels of silver.
After walking for a day and a half, they soon arrived at Ma Xing's base in Wei County. It turned out that they had their own specific identities among each other. Knowing that the guests on the car were half of their owners, the people from Ma Xing quickly prepared a clean room for them.
