Chapter 355: Waiting for the Rabbit
"I've already eaten, you guys eat." Wen Yan found the boss and gave each of them two eggs and two taels of fried meat.
She was bored, so she packed a lot of food from a nearby stall.
She bought some pancakes, dumplings, noodles, and anything easy to cook.
After she bought the food, Meng Xiyan and the others finished their breakfast in a few bites.
Meng Xiyan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up and said, "What are your arrangements? Let's go now."
Wen Yan saw the four servants. Although they were wearing coats, their hands, noses and ears were still red from the cold.
Another servant had a runny nose and was sneezing all the time.
You'll be out in the cold all day, so don't get frozen.
"Wait a moment."
Wen Yan climbed into the carriage and soon came out with a bunch of things, handing them to them: "Here, the weather is cold, and we have to stay outdoors all the time, so you should change into these and don't catch a cold.
By the way, if you are wearing a paper fur coat, wear this inside."
How could they dare to accept something as ambiguous as clothes? They waved their hands and refused repeatedly.
If any rumors get out, Chi Fei will beat them to death!
Wen Yan saw through their thoughts and glared at them with her almond-shaped eyes: "What are you thinking! This is the stuff I got from the cloth shop, go change it quickly, if you keep hesitating I'll let Chi Fei beat you up!"
When they heard Yan's angry words, they obediently changed their clothes, but ended up looking fatter because of the clothes.
It walks in a wobbly manner, like a chick that hasn't grown any real feathers yet.
Wen Yan suppressed her laughter, and the group set off.
Along the way, Wen Yan reviewed the information about Miss Ning's return to Beijing again.
The woman Meng Xiyan likes is named Ning Tan.
Born into a family of scholars, both men and women in her family attach great importance to reputation.
She had been well-read since childhood, strictly abided by clan rules and etiquette, and lived an orderly life. She got married at the age of fourteen.
On the eve of her marriage at the age of sixteen, her fiancé died of illness.
The future mother-in-law thought that she was the one who killed her own son, so she transferred the pain of losing her son onto her.
Before she got married, she was asked to remain a widow, support Ling and return to her hometown, and remain chaste for the rest of her life.
She had no choice but to comply.
Five years later, Miss Ning returned to Beijing to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, but was kidnapped by bandits in the suburbs.
Her maid fled back to the capital for help. Ning Tan's biological parents wanted to save her, but were stopped by their clansmen.
But the tribe members were afraid that her experience would affect the reputation of the tribe.
Ning Tan's younger brother knew that Meng Xiyan liked his elder sister, so he ran to Meng's house for help.
Meng Xiyan is not in the capital, so Meng Chifei goes alone to rescue the girl his brother likes.
She killed her way through the bandits' lair and finally found the defiled and disfigured Miss Ning in the woods at the foot of the Big Buddha Temple.
Miss Ning couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to commit suicide. Fortunately, Meng Chifei arrived in time and rescued her.
In this life, I hope I can save her in time!
A hundred miles away from the capital, the snow on the official road gradually became thicker and the road became muddy.
The carriage was not moving smoothly and was slowing down.
It took them an extra hour to travel a distance that should have taken two hours.
They stopped at a fork in the road.
Wen Yan took out a big pot from the carriage and started to light a fire and cook something.
Everyone looked bewildered: "There's no village in front of us, and no shop behind us. What can we do?"
He was just about to encourage the youngest, Chen Twelve, to ask Wen Yan.
An enticing aroma emanated from the pot.
"It's chicken soup!" They didn't have time to ask for information. They all gathered around the pot, staring at the food in the pot and swallowing their saliva.
"Yanyan, how did you make chicken soup in the snow?"
"The hermit has his own clever plan, but he won't tell you." Wen Yan teased them deliberately.
All you have to do is make the chicken soup in advance, put it outdoors, and freeze the meat and soup into ice cubes. When you want to eat it, you can boil it and add other things to it.
The ten people had a delicious meal.
Wen Yan took out the map and began to assign tasks to everyone.
She divided the men into pairs, drew six zones, and sent them to each area: "Watch carefully for passing carriages. Stop any suspicious carriages."
"What does it mean to be suspicious?"
Wen Yan thought for a moment before saying, "The team has a southern accent, and some of them have scars on their faces."
In her previous life, Meng Chifei told her that one of the bandits had a round scar on his face, which looked very much like a tattooed prisoner with that piece of flesh burned.
"Brother Xiyan, go and wait near the Big Buddha Temple by yourself."
"Come with me." Meng Xiyan said immediately.
It's too dangerous to leave a weak woman like Wen Yan alone in the snow and ice.
"No need. The route I chose is secluded, with fewer people and the least chance of running into you. It's also close to you, so you can always come and pick me up, right?"
Ren Wenyan talked a lot, but Meng Xiyan still forced him to be with Chen Twelve, with no room for negotiation.
Wen Yan pursed her lips: "...Okay then."
After assigning the tasks, Wen Yan gave each person three flares: "Once you discover something, fire the flares and we'll provide support nearby. Got it?"
Meng Xiyan had this unexpected event, and Wen Yan was so well prepared.
But the more serious she was, the more important this matter was.
Then she distributed the goods in the carriage to everyone.
You can't just squat there.
She bought a lot of woolen clothes and let them sell them at stalls, making a profit.
Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it!
Then they set off on their own.
Meng Xiyan looked at Wen Yan who was walking away.
He knew that Wen Yan had concealed a lot of important things.
But he believed in Wen Yan's character, and even more so in his sister's judgment of people.
The friends Chi Fei recognizes will not be of bad character.
It won't harm them.
Wen Yan took the map and quickly arrived at the designated location.
There was a tea stall here, so Wen Yan rented a small space from the owner of the tea stall and set up a stall to sell woolen clothes.
This place is far away from the capital, and no peddler has brought her woolen clothes and gloves here.
At first her goods were not well received.
On the first day, she only sold two pieces of clothing. It was the owner of the tea stall who saw that she was struggling to make a living with her brother and the clothes were not expensive, so he bought two pieces for her.
They didn't see any suspicious person.
the next day.
Wen Yan's clothing business started to pick up.
It turned out that the owner of the tea stall felt very warm after putting on the clothes, so he went back to the village to spread the word.
In addition, it snowed at night, so many villagers came to visit.
In just half a day, all her clothes were sold out.
Wen Yan asked Chen Twelve to go back and replenish the stock while he stayed here to keep an eye on it.
Chen Twelve rubbed his buttocks: "My butt hurts from riding a horse."
Wen Yan was helpless, but she couldn't just sit here and do nothing.
That would be suspicious.
Wen Yan had no choice but to rush back herself, pick up the goods and rush back. She also found time to deliver some to other teams: "How is it? Did anyone suspicious pass by?"
Chen Twelve shook his head: "There are no suspicious people. It's snowing, not to mention the southerners, even the nearby villagers are not out and about."
Wen Yanyi breathed a sigh of relief.
I stayed in the tea stall for five days.
Early that morning, a team came to the tea stall.
Just from their clothes, Wen Yan recognized that they came from the south.
Wen Yan paid special attention until a young woman was helped down from the carriage. Wen Yan's eyes widened instantly.
She actually took this road!
