Shen Yuan returned to the shop and put the things she had bought into the carriage.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuchen asked, "Are you going back today?"
Shen Yuan gave a faint "hmm".
Just then, Haitang noticed that Shen Yuan and Jiang Yuchen had returned. She walked up to them with a smile and said, "Miss Shen, Young Master Jiang, you're back!"
She turned to look at Shen Yuan: "Shuixian just baked some brown sugar pancakes and scallion pancakes for you to take with you on the way. They're still warm. I'll give them to you and Young Master Jiang to try!"
"No need, Young Master Jiang probably doesn't like this kind of food."
Shen Yuan stopped Haitang and said to Jiang Yuchen, "It's getting late, Young Master Jiang, you should go back soon!"
"No!" Jiang Yuchen leaned pitifully against the door. "I want to try your scallion pancakes!"
Shen Yuan: "..."
Jiang Yuchen is probably so fat because he's too shameless!
Didn't she realize that she was asking him to leave?
"Okay!" Haitang replied and went to the kitchen to get some brown sugar pancakes and scallion pancakes for Shen Yuan and Jiang Yuchen.
Upon seeing the scallion pancake wrapped in oil paper, a flicker of disdain flashed in Jiang Yucheng's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He took the pancake and took a very, very small bite.
Shen Yuan noticed and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Is Young Master Jiang on a diet?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yuchen's reply, she continued, "You're already so fat, you don't even care about this!"
"You..." Jiang Yuchen was so angry that he accidentally bit his tongue. He hissed, covered his face, and angrily shook his body: "I'm not fat, I'm just blessed!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Young Master Jiang carries 180 pounds of good fortune; he is truly a blessed man!"
Shen Yuan pursed her lips, but couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth.
Jiang Yuchen was about to lash out when his gaze fell on the girl's radiant smile and he suddenly froze. He stared blankly at Shen Yuan, and as if infected by her smile, he also curved his lips into a smile.
When Chun Tao came out with the wrapped cakes, she saw Jiang Yuchen staring blankly at Shen Yuan with a silly grin. She frowned, stood in front of Shen Yuan, and blocked Jiang Yuchen's view.
Jiang Yuchen frowned and took a big bite of the scallion pancake in his hand.
Chun Tao turned to Shen Yuan and said, "Miss Shen, take these cakes and eat them on the way. The water on the stove has boiled. Let it cool down for a while, then I'll put it in your water pouch."
Thank you!
Shen Yuan took the cake and put it into the carriage.
At this moment, a servant of the Jiang family suddenly ran over and whispered something in Jiang Yuchen's ear. After listening, Jiang Yuchen said to Shen Yuan, "I'm leaving now," and then left with the servant.
After Jiang Yuchen left, Shen Yuan packed her luggage.
She didn't bring much luggage to Nanjing, just a change of clothes and a few essential items.
After breakfast and dinner, Shen Yuan packed all the water bags and luggage into the carriage, then got on, took the reins, and instructed Haitang and the others: "Although the curfew in Jinling City is stricter than in Jian'an City, you must still lock your doors and windows at night, and you must also carry the self-defense weapons I gave you with you at all times."
"If you find any suitable helpers in the next few days, you can hire them in advance to help you with some of the work. If you're still unsure about anything, you can write to me. I'll come over a few days before the opening to help you!"
"Don't worry, Miss Chen, we're here!" Haitang, Shuixian, and Chuntao said in unison.
Shen Yuan nodded, then pulled on the reins and shouted, "Giddy up!"
The carriage passed through the market, and Shen Yuan urged the horse to the city gate. She jumped down from the carriage, took the reins, and walked to the soldiers guarding the city for inspection.
Just then, Jiang Yuchen's voice suddenly rang out from behind.
"Yuan-meimei! I'm here!"
Shen Yuan's lips twitched, and she turned her head in disbelief to look at the source of the sound. She saw a chubby little boy wearing a white satin robe with gold flowers crawl out of the carriage and run towards her.
“Uh…” Shen Yuan raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent black lines on her forehead. Could this little fat boy be planning to go to Jian’an with her?
She doesn't want that!
Just as Shen Yuan was internally complaining, Jiang Yuchen had already run up to her. "I went home, changed my clothes, grabbed my luggage, and rushed over. Are you surprised to see me?"
There were no surprises, only shocks.
Shen Yuan pulled on the reins and took a few steps back, tentatively asking, "Young Master Jiang, you weren't going to Jian'an City with me, were you?"
Jiang Yuchen laughed: "I'm going to Jian'an City with you! Let's go together!"
Shen Yuan: "..."
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died!
Upon seeing Jiang Yuchen, the soldiers guarding the city hurried forward: "Young Master Jiang, are you leaving the city? This way, please!"
“I’m with this young lady.” Jiang Yuchen pointed at Shen Yuan, then swaggered over to the soldier and accepted the inspection.
After the inspection, he led a group of servants and a carriage out of the city gate.
The soldiers conducting the inspection approached Shen Yuan again. Shen Yuan glanced at the long line in front of her and finally said, "Thank you for your trouble, sir!"
After leaving the city gate, Shen Yuan boarded a carriage and headed towards Jian'an City along the official road.
Jiang Yuchen was accompanied by two servants and a coachman. The coachman drove the carriage he was riding in, while the two servants sat in the back of the carriage, pulling on Jiang Yuchen's luggage.
Shen Yuan walked at the front, glanced back at the luxurious carriage following behind her, and twitched her lips helplessly.
Jiang Yuchen insisted on coming along, and Shen Yuan had no way to get rid of him.
After all, she didn't pay for the construction of this official road!
Jiang Yuchen's carriage came to a sudden stop halfway through the journey.
Shen Yuan heard the coachman let out a long sigh, turned around and looked behind her, and saw Jiang Yuchen push open the carriage door and hurriedly crawl out of the carriage, covering his face with a handkerchief.
He jumped off the carriage and rushed to a crooked tree not far away and vomited.
Seeing this, the servant hurriedly picked up the water bag and followed.
Jiang Yuchen leaned against the tree trunk, his head down, his back convulsing, clearly vomiting badly.
Shen Yuan stopped the carriage, thought for a moment, and then jumped off the carriage with her bundle on her back.
"Ugh—vomit—"
Jiang Yuchen felt a little better after vomiting everything in his stomach. He straightened up by leaning against the tree trunk and took the water bag handed to him by the servant to rinse his mouth.
Then, when he looked up, he saw Shen Yuan standing three steps away from him.
