During dinner in the evening, Cheng Kang briefly explained his mission, which was to send an important person to a place and he had to go there after the New Year.
As for who the noble person was, he did not say. The prince had originally come out in secret, and everyone in the capital thought that the prince was recuperating in the East Palace.
However, there are still some people who know the truth.
Cheng Kang didn't intend to hide it, he just felt that his brother's family didn't seem to care much about these things.
Especially his brothers, now apart from earning money, they just drink wine and curse their children and grandchildren every day.
To be honest, he was quite envious.
Cheng Kang then talked about Cheng Minliang and their itinerary.
This time they planned to come by water. The canal had not frozen yet, but the land roads around the capital were covered with snow, so this time they decided to take the water route.
Traveling by water from the capital to Taoyuan County is slower than traveling by land, and it takes half a month.
Cheng Minliang told Cheng Kang in the letter that they set out on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and would arrive here around the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Aunt Fang will also come this time.
"Auntie is here too! That's great! I want to show Auntie that I'm much better at making money than she is. I only make money and never lose money!"
Cheng Minhong said happily.
She has a pretty good relationship with her biological mother, but she is used to calling her mother only in private, and calls her aunt when there are many people around outside.
If Cheng Kang makes her his wife one day, she can call him mother.
“You!”
Cheng Kang nodded Cheng Minhong's red head and smiled helplessly.
"Then let's kill the New Year pig on the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month! We'll wait until Minliang and the others arrive and let the children have some pig soup."
Jiang said.
"Well, I'll have He Gui talk to Butcher Zhang tomorrow to set a date. We'll kill four this year and make extra sausages and bacon. Minliang and the others can take some with them when they go back, and we can also send some to Feifei's and Hanyu's families."
Cheng Shun nodded.
"Brother Mo, are you also celebrating the New Year here this year? It would be so lively with our two families together then!"
The matter of slaughtering the pig was settled, and Cheng Kang looked at Mo Hui and asked.
"Brother Cheng, I won't be spending the New Year here. When I first met Shanshui, I also ran into Master Li. I've longed to visit the Charity Bureau for a long time, and I've already made an appointment with Master Li. I'll be leaving on the thirteenth."
Mo Hui shook his head.
"Hey, Brother Mo, Master Li is now Hanyu's master, and Hanyu is our child. Are you still worried that you won't be able to see Master Li?"
Cheng Shun advised.
"Hanyu has become my disciple?"
Cheng Kang was surprised.
"Yes, uncle. In November, my master was in Yunzhou, and I went there. We had a great chat, and my master was willing to teach me and was looking for a successor."
Xue Hanyu, who was called, raised his head and spoke.
"Well, it's not bad for Ah Xiu to find an apprentice. Hanyu, you have to be nice to Ah Xiu from now on! It's not easy for her to be alone for so many years!"
Cheng Kang sighed.
He knew Master Li because of his concubine and admired her very much.
"I know, uncle!"
Xue Hanyu nodded solemnly.
"Brother Mo, why don't you spend the New Year here? When my children go back after the New Year, they can go with you. The canal also has a dock in Taizhou Prefecture."
Cheng Kang turned around and advised Mo Hui.
"Hahahaha, we'll see when the time comes! Come on, Brother Cheng, I toast to you!"
Mo Hui laughed a few times, then stood up and poured wine for Cheng Kang.
