Chapter 187 Heading to Dongchuan
The convoy was stopped by fast horses. Zhan Chuan, the leader, saw the people riding fast horses in front of him, and his brows were so furrowed that he could kill a fly.
Why is this person haunting me?
"Is there anything wrong, Mr. Kang?"
Wu Gui sat on the horse and pulled the reins. Although he was not as impatient as Zhan Chuan, he was puzzled when he saw Kang Jingyu suddenly appear.
Why is he here?
The last time I saw Kang Jingyu was not long after Pingping and Kangkang were born. What was the reason for him to intercept them on a fast horse this time?
Kang Jingyu heard Wu Gui's voice and said with a smile, "It just happened that we were going the same way as yours, and I wanted to go with you so I could look after you."
If he hadn't had people keep an eye on Wu Gui and the others, he probably wouldn't have known that they were leaving until now.
Kang Jingyu always remembered in his heart that he wanted to help Ji Sheng take care of his sister-in-law and children.
But someone he helped didn't even tell Kang Jingyu that he was in Jiangzhong.
Kang Jingyu pointed to the two servants carrying luggage behind him and said, "We have everything with us. We won't cause any trouble for you."
Wu Gui nodded silently.
This road was not built by them, so where Kang Jingyu wants to go has nothing to do with them.
When Kang Jingyu saw the figure in front of him nod, he smiled and drove his horse to Wu Gui's side.
"Although my eyesight is poor, my horse is carefully selected and will definitely not delay your journey."
Wu Gui smiled politely, then turned to Zhan Chuan beside him and said, "Let's continue on our way."
The convoy continued to move forward, and everyone in the convoy knew about Kang Jingyu's sudden joining.
In the carriage, Zhou Yunshu leaned against the cushions and looked at Ji Sheng, who was holding the child. Before she could finish her words, Ji Sheng said, "It has nothing to do with me."
He came without informing Kang Jingyu. During this time, he had been taking care of the children by Zhou Yunshu's side and had no time to look for him.
Originally, Ji Sheng thought that even though Kang Jingyu had poor eyesight, the two servants beside him had always been by his side and were quite reliable people. As a result, neither of them noticed that something was wrong with Wu Gui.
Ji Sheng thought that even if they couldn't find out themselves, his people stayed in the river when he left. Kang Jingyu could find out the answer by just asking around, but it turned out that this guy didn't go either.
Now that I think about it, there is a reason why Kang Jingyu, who is a few years younger than him, has not married until now.
Unlike him, he now lives a life with a beautiful wife by his side and children taken care of by him every day.
"Is it really okay for him to hang around like this all the time?"
After all, he is the only son of Lord Kang. He hangs out outside every day and is half blind. What if something goes wrong? What will happen to the three elders in the family?
"He won't be hanging around for much longer." Ji Sheng lowered his voice unconsciously as he watched the child in his arms sleeping soundly. "The teacher is already looking for someone for him. I guess he'll be called back to Jinling soon."
Mr. and Mrs. Kang have long wanted to have grandchildren.
Seeing that the older ones are half useless, I must do everything I can to raise my grandchildren into pillars of society.
The last time Lord Kang wrote to Ji Sheng, he also said that he had compiled two new textbooks for future use by Ji Sheng and Kang Jingyu's children.
Ji Sheng thought as he looked at the children in his arms with a softer gaze. When they were two years old, they could go to school.
The little ones in Ji Sheng's arms were sleeping soundly, and had no idea that their father had already thought about their education in the near future.
Because the convoy contained both elderly people and children, as well as Zhou Yunshu, who had just finished her confinement, the speed was not fast and it took a full five days to reach Dongchuan.
When they arrived in Dongchuan, they did not rush to Dongwang Village first, but settled in Dongchuan City first.
At this time, Zhou Yunshu had changed back into men's clothes and met Uncle He and Manager Liang, who had stayed in Dongchuan, in the house in Dongchuan City.
"All the rice and wheat in the farm have been planted, and the rest of the paddy fields and dry land are also fully planted. In addition, we have also transplanted the medicinal herbs that Doctor Xue mentioned on Xiaoqing Mountain, and they are growing quite well."
Uncle He is in charge of all matters concerning the Eastern King, so he knows everything best.
"The East King's residence has been tidied up. Brother Wei Zhong and others have been guarding it. Sir, you can just move in when you get there."
As for the trivial matters of Dongwang Village, Zhou Yunshu asked about them, and Uncle He told Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui and others around her everything in detail, all in order to help them better integrate into Dongwang Village.
Generally speaking, although most of the people in Dongwang Village are quite tough, they are still easy to get along with.
There are a few people who are difficult to get along with, but they are all bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong, so there is no need to worry about them.
After Uncle He finished speaking, it was Manager Liang's turn to report.
Shopkeeper Liang is in charge of the connection between the shops in Dongchuan and several nearby counties and Jiangzhong. He is a businessman and is very adept at his job.
The best-performing shop among the several shops is the pastry shop opened by the women of the Liang family in Jiangzhong. Their business is still good after they came to Dongchuan.
Shopkeeper Liang knew that he would be staying in Dongchuan for most of the next time, so after asking his wife's opinion, the couple left the pastry shop in Jiangzhong to their sisters-in-law, while Shopkeeper Liang's wife, Li, came to Dongchuan to take charge of the pastry shop here.
Although the pastry shop here has just been opened and there is a lot of work to do and it is tiring, it is good for the whole family to be able to live in the same place.
After they both finished speaking, they sat and waited for Zhou Yunshu to speak.
“You guys did a great job.”
During the period from Zhou Yunshu's delivery to her confinement, most of the matters were decided by Uncle He and Manager Liang on their own, regardless of the previous arrangements. When they encountered problems or needed money, they would report to Zhou Yunzhi and Wu Gui, and even Fang Huiwen was pulled out to help.
It’s just that Fang Huiwen was busy with things related to Feng Xujie.
This time, when the Zhou family came to Dongchuan, Feng Xujie did not go with them.
He now holds the ten rudders that the Feng family gave him in his hands. If he leaves, he doesn't know what will happen.
You know, Feng Kewen has been watching him all the time, just waiting for him to make a wrong move so that he can reap his hard-earned results.
Fang Huiwen and Zhou Yunzhi were busy arranging their people into the Feng family's fleet.
Among them, Du Mazi brought the little beggars he had taken in, while Hu Zi, Lie Gou and Gou Xiong brought the people they bought after the New Year to the Feng family's branch.
Luo Xiaoshan went to the Feng family's shipyard after obtaining Zhou Yunshu's consent.
He is interested in shipbuilding and is Zhou Yunshu's apprentice, but on the surface he has no connection with the Zhou family. His entry into the Feng family's shipyard makes him the most capable person to withstand investigation.
As for Yan Shilei and others, they took the money and quietly went to various places in Haizhou to recruit soldiers.
When Zhou Yunshu first arrived in Jiangzhong, she thought she had a lot of people under her, but when she really started to implement her plan, she suddenly felt stretched to the limit.
There are still too few people under my command.
