"It's a good dog, so why should we treat it badly? Just cook whatever Yue Nu eats, and there shouldn't be any problems."
The whining sound of Yue Nu came from under the threshold. When they turned around, they saw that it had half of its head exposed, its back hunched, and was watching Uncle Jackal with unfriendly eyes.
Uncle Jackal pretended not to see anything and kept wagging his tail at Xu Jiang.
Xu Jiang patted the dog's head and asked Guard Zhu to lead Uncle Jackal into the backyard.
But as soon as I entered the backyard, the geese started flying, the donkey started braying, and Yue Nu also rushed into the yard, growling warningly around the dog.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it in a few days." Guard Zhu tied the dog next to the firewood pile.
Xu Jiang used the stubborn donkey's rations to build a nest for Uncle Jackal, and also built a simple shed for it to temporarily provide shade. When she had time later, she would ask Uncle Cao to build a dog shed for it.
Uncle Jackal was really smart. When Liang Mo arrived, he heard its cry as soon as he walked to the door of the shop.
This barking sound is different from other barking dogs. It is threatening and fierce, making people feel scared when they hear it.
With it guarding the bookstore, Xu Jiang felt much more at ease when she went to the house.
The sun hid behind the clouds because of the noise of dogs barking and donkeys braying. The sky became overcast and it became much cooler in the shop.
Xu Jiang was busy in the kitchen, making some cakes. It would be bad to go to the Lou residence to meet the Lou couple empty-handed later. She also had to prepare some for Lou Yunchun to eat on the road.
But the weather is hot now and pastries are easy to spoil, so she didn't dare to make too much. She thought she should buy some Hu bing, niu tou and dry steamed bing to keep in stock.
The vendor selling breakfast also has his shop in Yonghefang. I'll go buy some freshly baked ones later. They can be stored for a long time and are convenient to carry.
As soon as the steamer was started, the Lou family's carriage arrived at the door and turned into the alley. Who else came with the carriage to pick up Xu Jiang except the little girl Yin Yin?
When Yin Yin heard in the morning that Xu Jiang was going to stay temporarily in the mansion, she begged Liu Mei to come and pick her up in person, and to come early to help Xu Jiang pack her things.
Didn't Liu Mei know what she was thinking? Besides coming to see Xu Jiang, she also wanted to go out and have some fun. However, both the Madam and the Young Master wanted Yin Yin to follow Xu Jiang, so she turned a blind eye.
"Sister Xu!"
"Why are you here?"
"I'll pick you up."
Seeing that her face was red from being suffocated in the car, Xu Jiang quickly asked her to get out and go into the house.
The coachman parked the carriage under a tree. They were all acquaintances, and soon they gathered together with the guards to drink tea and chat.
Yinyin wanted to help Xu Jiang clean up, and Xu Jiang quickly pulled her over to sit down.
"There's nothing to pack. I'm in the bookstore during the day and only return to the mansion at night. If you need anything, you can always take it."
Yin Yin nodded, "Indeed, Madam and Sister Liu Mei knew you were coming, so they prepared everything they needed."
Xu Jiang felt warm in her heart when she heard this.
Even though she didn't pack up, Yin Yin couldn't sit still and followed Xu Jiang around.
Xu Jiang kept bumping into her when she came and went, so she simply asked her to fetch water to help her wash the boards, then wipe them dry and take them to dry under the eaves.
She was extremely happy and found everything she did interesting as she followed Xu Jiang.
