Chapter 774 Going to Huifeng Escort Agency
Everyone except the two children got a little bit involved.
It tasted good, and even Shu Yu took a couple of small sips.
After finishing their meal, Zhao Xi and his companion took their leave, while the Lu family lit candles and began writing letters.
This time, it was Shu Yu who wrote it. She first let the old lady know she was safe, and then talked about her life here. The old lady asked her to write down that she had become a manager. Although she didn't mention what manager she was, just those two words were enough to tell people that she was doing quite well.
Then they talked about the Chinese New Year, asking the eldest and third sons to help clean the second son's house when they had time. Even though they weren't there, the festive atmosphere still needed to be maintained.
Shu Yu wrote a long and detailed letter, mainly addressed to Da Niu.
In her letter, she explained which packets of tea were for Lord Xiang, Doctor Xu, and the Ding family. Only after she had made that clear did she put down her pen.
The letter wasn't very thick; after Shu Yu finished writing it, he waited for the ink to dry before sealing it.
The letter and the local specialties were sent separately. Meng Yunzheng was asked to help send the letter through the post station, and it should arrive before the New Year.
As for local specialties, Lu Erbai said that in a few days, the Feng Escort Agency would be transporting goods to Jiangnan, and would pass through Dong'an Prefecture along the way.
For this reason, the bodyguards from the escort agency even came over to ask him if there was anything he needed to take back to his hometown.
Lu Erbai originally didn't want to trouble them, but now that the topic of New Year's goods has come up, he'll have to trouble Huifeng Escort Agency to make a trip.
Therefore, the next day, Lu Erbai went to Huifeng Escort Agency to inform them.
This was Shu Yu's first time here. Huifeng Escort Agency was the largest escort agency in the entire Heichang County. It was a large place with many escorts.
When they arrived, there were still many bodyguards practicing martial arts in the courtyard, wielding their swords, spears, and halberds with great skill and flair.
They were greeted by the second-in-command of the escort agency; the head escort was said to be out on a mission and not there.
The Huifeng Escort Agency welcomed Lu Erbai warmly. They were even more delighted to hear that Lu Erbai had come with the rumored Second Miss. The second-in-command led the group in, glancing at Shu Yu every now and then.
This made Shu Yu feel a little uncomfortable, but the second-in-command laughed heartily and thanked her solemnly as soon as he entered the room.
"The yamen told us about what happened last time. We are very grateful to you, young lady. Otherwise, the troubles in our escort agency would not have been resolved so quickly."
Shu Yu hurriedly said, "Second Master, you're too kind. I wasn't much of a help; it was just an accident. As for our family, we're new here, and we're very grateful for your care."
Shu Yu was poised and generous, and spoke pleasantly. The second-in-command expressed his fondness for the girl's decisiveness.
Therefore, he ended up spending more time chatting with Shu Yu.
Lu Erbai stood to the side, like a background character, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he listened.
Shu Yu quickly got down to business, "...I'll have to trouble you to deliver these things to our hometown. I've written the address down on a piece of paper. There's just one slightly troublesome thing: these local specialties need to be delivered to my brother Da Niu personally, not through anyone else."
If it passes through my fourth aunt's hands, it's fine, but if it gets accepted by my eldest aunt and third uncle and aunt, then it's all over. They'll definitely swallow it all up themselves.
Only when it falls into Da Niu's hands is it truly safe. He will distribute it to each household as instructed in the letter, ensuring that no one suffers a loss.
The second-in-command agreed, saying it was a small matter and not difficult to handle.
