The Zhan family was short of staff, and everyone had their own things to do. If there was no special need, there was no one to entertain them in the hall.
When Shen Zhaozhao walked into the main hall, he saw Cao Ya standing alone in the hall.
I was looking up, seeing two lines of words written on the pillars on both sides.
Shen Zhaozhao followed her gaze and found that the Zhan family had found time to copy the two lines of words from the pillars of the main hall of the Zhan family in Beijing.
"If it is beneficial to the country, no matter life or death, why should we avoid it because of misfortune or fortune?" Shen Zhaozhao read it out softly.
Cao Ya turned around and smiled, "The Zhan family is still the same as always."
"Why did you come here suddenly?" Shen Zhaozhao picked up the teapot and poured tea for Cao Ya. "There are not enough people at home, and I can't entertain you well. I'll give you cold tea."
Cao Yaxiao didn't choose and took it to drink.
"It's nothing else. I just saw that you haven't shown up at the mine for a long time, so I asked the eldest brother of the Zhan family. He said that you were helping your husband treat his injured leg."
"My dad asked me to come visit with some stuff."
As he spoke, Cao Ya leaned over and pushed a bamboo basket placed at his feet towards him. "Chicken, duck meat and some vegetables are not worth much. Take them."
Shen Zhaozhao poked his head out to take a look.
Indeed, they are all ingredients.
"Uncle Cao is very thoughtful." Her eyes fell on Cao Ya. She knew what kind of person Cao Quanye was after traveling all the way to Mobei.
These things were definitely arranged by Cao Ya.
Compared with the good things that slipped through her fingers, these things are really nothing, but it’s thoughtful.
Shen Zhaozhao chatted with Cao Ya for a while, from Zhan Nanxing's injury to the things at the mine.
"The mine has been quite quiet recently. When you are not here, the eldest and second brothers of the Zhan family are often away, and even the general seems to be worried." Cao Ya picked up the tea and moistened his throat.
Shen Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile.
Got it.
It is said that Cao Ya is a man who never speaks without purpose. It turns out that he came to the Zhan family under the pretext of visiting her to find out the cause of the anomaly in the mine.
“Sister Cao, if you want to ask anything, you might as well ask directly.” Shen Zhaozhao got straight to the point.
This kind of contact is enough to prove that Cao Ya has no ill will towards her or the Zhan family.
Even most of the time I was helping her silently.
"Sister Shen is still so direct," Cao Ya put down the teacup in her hand, "Did the Zhan family encounter any difficulties?"
Shen Zhaozhao exhaled and shook his head.
He did not hide it from Cao Ya and told her about the secret letter he got from Guan Pingle.
Then, Cao Ya's face became increasingly ugly.
Shen Zhaozhao gently stroked the armrest of the chair. The furniture was made in a hurry and was not polished properly. There were still some wood splinters when touched.
"We should set off to foreign countries to rescue people in the next few days," Shen Zhaozhao said.
"What time?"
Shen Zhaozhao shook his head. "I need the cooperation of General Guan. I'll have to wait for him to inform me of the specific time. By then, we won't be at the mine. I'll have to trouble you to help watch over the gold mine..."
“I’ll go with you.” Cao Ya stood up, looking gloomy, and interrupted Shen Zhaozhao.
Shen Zhaozhao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Cao Ya would take the initiative to ask to go to the foreign country with them.
After all, the Cao family and the Zhan family are not related.
There was absolutely no need for her to take risks like this.
"I'll lead the way. I'm familiar with foreign countries." Cao Ya said calmly.
Shen Zhaozhao gently stroked the armrest of the chair, feeling the thorns pricking his skin and itching. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
She didn't ask Cao Ya why he was familiar with foreign countries.
Everyone has some little secrets that cannot be told, and she has some, but she is even more fortunate that she and several older brothers in the group have the same secret, and there is also a way out.
Cao Ya, it seems there is someone.
"Okay, I'll tell you as soon as I get the notification from General Guan. You guys should get ready to go on a long journey."
After sending Cao Ya away, Shen Zhaozhao thought that since they were all gone, someone had to keep an eye on the gold mine. The second and fifth brothers would be there, one in charge of professional matters and the other in charge of personnel matters.
It's not a big problem.
Shen Zhaozhao thought about it and finally found Shen Tiaotiao.
This kid is like a fish in water in Mobei. By selling waste mines to merchants, he has accumulated some connections.
She told the Zhan family that she and their family were going to a foreign country soon, and asked Shen Tiaotiao to help look after the gold mine.
Shen Tiaotiao naturally agreed readily and asked Shen Zhaozhao to wait for a moment. He turned back to the house, took out a bag and stuffed it into Shen Zhaozhao's arms.
Shen Zhaozhao touched it and it was hard. When he shook it gently, there was a sound of metal hitting each other.
She stuffed it back.
"Sister!" Shen Tiaotiao wanted to stuff it back, but was rejected by Shen Zhaozhao. She was anxious, "You are going to a foreign country, how can you go without some money?"
"It just so happened that I was doing business with the Yue 꿻놅 merchants this time. I sold the waste ore to them to make pigments and made some money."
"I don't care. You can keep this silver with you. I'll help you look after the mine at home. You can easily grab gold sand. You don't need this silver..."
Shen Zhaozhao patted him lightly.
"Are you stupid?"
"You know that I can get a handful of gold dust at the mine, so why would I need your silver?"
Shen Zhaozhao patted the bag in his arms and joked, "Keep it, you'll need to marry a wife later! You don't have any money, be careful not to be single for the rest of your life!"
Shen Tiaotiao's face started to turn red from his neck. He opened his mouth. After all, he was a young boy without a family. He grunted for a while, but couldn't get any resistance. He could only mutter:
"Sister, why are you becoming more and more like the second sister-in-law of the Zhan family?"
Shen Zhaozhao laughed.
After amusing his younger brother Chen Zhaozhao, he returned to the house in a happy mood. When he met Zhan Nanxing's gaze, he suddenly stopped laughing.
She forgot that there was a man here who wanted to show off.
"Cao Ya came to me and said she was going to a foreign country. She was familiar with it and would lead the way for us." Shen Zhaozhao came to Zhan Nanxing and saw that he was still standing and practicing walking. "Don't be impatient at this moment. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
She walked over and helped Zhan Nanxing sit down.
Zhan Nanxing reached out and held her hand, not letting her leave.
"Be obedient, huh?" Shen Zhaozhao touched Zhan Nanxing's cheek, like comforting a wronged big dog, "After all, we are going deep into the foreign king's court. What if we can't get out without you outside to support us?"
Zhan Nanxing put his arms around her waist, raised his face, and sat looking at her.
The eyes are bright.
If he agrees, he will ask for some benefits.
Shen Zhaozhao held his face and leaned over to kiss him.
He closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.
Who made her find a man to coax?
