Chapter 1934 Meeting Halfway
After the meal, Shu Yu asked about Da Niu's journey.
Da Niu said, "Everything went smoothly. Those bodyguards were all experienced. I didn't need to make any arrangements along the way. They had everything taken care of. I just followed behind and learned from them."
He scratched his head and laughed, "I feel like I've learned a lot."
"So going out for a walk is still very beneficial." This is why Shu Yu let Da Niu be in charge of this cargo delivery.
Da Niu nodded. "We ran into Grandma and Uncles Two and Three on the way."
Shu Yu was surprised, "You two bumped into each other, what a coincidence?"
"Yes, I've met Auntie and Yuangui, and only then did I realize how much suffering Auntie has endured over the years. If it weren't for Grandma, I wouldn't have known you had become a county princess; I was quite shocked."
Shu Yu, “…” So, they still ran into Tang’s parents?
She remembered that her third uncle had also said that once Tang Wenqian's parents received the news of his becoming the county magistrate, they would definitely spread it everywhere. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to boast that Shu Yu was the county princess.
She could guess with her toes, "Did Third Uncle say I was a county princess in front of Uncle Tang and the others?"
Da Niu chuckled, "Yes, and he's said it many times. When he mentions you, he doesn't say your name, he just says 'County Princess.' We were all shocked when we first heard it. Ayu, you're amazing."
Shu Yu sighed, "I'm afraid that once we return to Dong'an Prefecture, he'll spread the word so everyone knows."
She had written back to Da Niu before, but hadn't mentioned this matter. The letter only mentioned that she was going to open a shop here and asked him to send the goods over as soon as possible.
Since this was Da Niu's first time traveling so far, and with such a large volume of goods, Shu Yu gave him very detailed instructions on the delivery. These included finding a bodyguard, what to be careful about on the road, what troubles he might encounter, how to store the goods, having someone keep watch over the goods while he was sleeping outdoors, and finding Meng Yunzheng at the government office after arriving in Changjin Prefecture.
These things alone would have been enough for her to write several pages, so naturally she didn't have time to talk about how she became a county princess and other such external matters.
That's why Da Niu only learned the news after meeting the old lady and the others, and that's why Tang's parents were caught off guard by the news.
In fact, neither Tang Wenqian nor Shu Yu, who was the county magistrate, ever considered comparing themselves to each other. They didn't even know that there was anything to compare.
However, Tang's mother and Lu Sanzhu were secretly competing with each other.
Shu Yu couldn't understand what they were thinking, but things would be better in the future. Tang's parents had come to Chenggu County, so they probably wouldn't have many more opportunities to see their third uncle.
Shu Yu asked about the family situation again, and Da Niu said that everything was fine and the branch store opened in Dong'an Prefecture was on the right track.
It was also said that Wei Ronghua proposed an event before the New Year, and after several people discussed it, the sales volume increased dramatically after the twelfth lunar month. Melon seeds have become the most fashionable New Year's goods in Dong'an Prefecture.
Shu Yu was delighted. In modern times, sunflower seeds were an indispensable New Year's treat for every household.
If everyone develops this habit, then the sales of sunflower seeds will be very stable.
The workshops have expanded considerably, but many people have already started growing sunflowers, so there will definitely be competitors in the future.
Shu Yu was already mentally prepared for this and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Da Niu took a sip of water, then suddenly stopped talking, a hint of hesitation on his face.
