Chapter 2134 is very likely to be in the southwest.
Others also inquired, "Who exactly is that Miss Lu? She seems quite wealthy."
"Yes, if you spend three taels of silver on a single piece of clothing, you must be quite wealthy."
"Sister-in-law, what exactly does Gouwa's uncle do?"
what for?
Aunt Hong was stunned. She slapped her forehead and said, "I forgot to ask."
Everyone was speechless. So you've been talking for so long and still don't know anything about their background?
But it didn't matter that they didn't know; that didn't stop the children from running into Aunt Hong's room to rummage through the gift boxes.
Soon, children started shouting, "Wow, it's pastries, dried fruit, melon seeds, so many delicious things! And cloth..."
Aunt Hong immediately went inside. She couldn't keep the pastries and dried fruits, but she immediately put away the cloth and the cotton-padded coat.
The Yu family members were very eager for that cotton-padded jacket, after all, it cost three taels of silver, but Aunt Hong was small and thin, and none of them could actually fit into it.
So they set their sights on that piece of cloth, but before they could say anything, Aunt Hong said, "I'm keeping this piece of cloth to make clothes for Gouwa. We agreed that he can try it on next time we meet."
Upon hearing this, even if the Yu family and the others were still eager for the piece of cloth, they couldn't say anything more. Of course, this was also because they were all eyeing the same piece of cloth and couldn't divide it up.
What they're thinking about now is whether Aunt Hong left him any money when she came to visit him.
The Hong family members had different thoughts, while Shu Yu and the others had already returned home.
Xia Yan was the only one at home. Zhao Xishu took her son out shopping to buy some things, as they were going to the Yao family's house the next day.
Compared to Shu Yu, Shu You was actually more familiar with the Yao family back in the Southwest, since both families lived in the county town and had close ties.
Since I've come all the way to the capital, I naturally have to pay a visit.
Meng Yunzheng didn't come back either, and the house seemed empty.
Shu Yu simply went inside and began to think about opening a shop.
She had thoroughly explored the streets of Beijing three years ago, but they were clearly different now. This morning, accompanying Xiao Songle to buy a cotton-padded coat, she ended up walking around the area.
There are simply no suitable locations or storefronts.
She drew a rough map of the capital city, and Ah Yun had told her about the distribution of people in the capital.
If you want to open a shop, the best place is at the junction of the west and south sides of the city. One side is where high-ranking officials and nobles live, and the other side is where ordinary people live. Whether you sell melon seeds or sunflower oil, you will have a suitable customer base.
Shu Yu would sit and doodle on paper for half the afternoon.
It wasn't until Meng Yunzheng's voice rang out from outside that she snapped back to reality and looked up at the person leaning against the doorframe, watching her.
"You're back. How did it go?"
Meng Yunzheng walked in, sat down opposite her, looked at the messy drawings she had placed on the table, and replied as he looked at them, "His Majesty has already sent people to the southwest to investigate."
Shu Yu put down her pen. "Do you think there's a high probability that the last black market is in the southwest?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "Great. During this time, Qi Lie has been searching northwards, but without any clues. Your letter is a breakthrough."
Why search northwards?
Meng Yunzheng said, "One reason is Jiang Kuanyu and Deputy Chief Escort Lin. Both of them disappeared in the same way by faking their deaths. Moreover, their families said they wanted to leave this place of sorrow and return to their hometowns in the north."
