Chapter 432 The dinner table is empty (2/2)



When Ling Ran went there, neither he nor his master knew it. They only thought he was going to Sihui. Little did they know that everyone else had returned except for Ling Ran!

The whole family, young and old, had poor appetites and were in low spirits for a few days.

However, given the Ling family's situation, Ling Ran had no choice but to go, no matter how worried or reluctant she was. Bai Ziqian, on the other hand, had his parents to protect him and could live a peaceful and carefree life.

The gentle and polite young nobleman was someone everyone would be reluctant to see go to Beidu, and even more reluctant to see him leave Shanshui Village to go home.

"Ziqian will also be leaving in the next few days."

Hu's mother felt as if a thunderclap had struck in the sky, leaving her dazed.

She asked incredulously, "Isn't Bai Manshan going to Beidu? Ziqian doesn't need to go, so what's he doing leaving?"

Mr. Hu was still picking up food from a distance, thinking not to waste it, when he heard Bai Ziqian's words about leaving, he stopped eating and looked at his son-in-law in astonishment.

Dajiang and his wife had different views on going to Beidu. Dajiang felt that he was going there to make a name for himself! He thought that if boys didn't go out and make a name for themselves to protect their sisters, they couldn't let the girls, who couldn't go out to travel, go out and make a name for themselves.

Only they can shoulder this responsibility.

But why is Bai Ziqian leaving too?

"Only Brother Bai is familiar with the merchant ship docks and routes to transport potatoes to Beidu. He has to go. He was originally planning to lead a caravan south to deliver goods to the Bai family's shops, but now he can't go. If we wait for him to come back, it will be at least three months later. Goods don't wait for anyone, so Ziqian is in charge of leading the caravan south to deliver the goods," Fan Jin explained to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Undeterred, Mrs. Hu asked again, "What about the lake jade?"

“She went along too. In the past, her mother-in-law always kept her confined to the inner quarters and didn’t like her going out. But after this incident, she changed her mind and started to like her agility and stopped stopping her from going out.”

So she planned to go south with Bai Ziqian, firstly to protect him, and secondly to broaden her horizons.

Mr. and Mrs. Hu sighed. These were all important matters, and time was of the essence; they had to go.

Originally, Wen Hua Dahe Ding and Li went to Jiangnan, leaving several empty seats at the dinner table. Fortunately, Bai Manshan and Li Huyu filled in, and with the herbal medicine workshop being converted into a toothbrush workshop this month, and Ling Ran also returning, the usual liveliness returned.

Unexpectedly, not only did Ling Ran come and go in a hurry, but Bai Manshan and Li Huyu also wanted to leave, as did Dahe and Ziqian.

Having gotten used to eating with a large group of people, I felt a sense of loss when there were fewer of them.

Fan Jin didn't know how to persuade the two elders, so he sat with them for a while. When he heard the sound of carriage wheels outside, he got up and left the dining room.

Outside the courtyard, Ling Ran and the others had already brought back nearly forty carts.

The burlap sacks were already prepared, and fifty men quickly and efficiently filled the sacks with hemp rope. Once a sack was filled, it was tightly tied with hemp rope and placed on the cart, ready to be covered with a cart cover when it was time to set off.

Bai Manshan wanted to lead the way, and he had to go with her tonight. He walked up to Shui Qing and asked, "I won't be back tomorrow morning. I'll go to Nanning Prefecture first to buy your land."

By the way, there are quite a few disaster victims in Nanning Prefecture. Should I pick out some honest and reliable ones to buy as well? Firstly, your land will need people to cultivate it, and secondly, it can also help those disaster victims.

The potatoes will be ready to be planted again next season. You can save some of these potatoes for seed when you take them over.”

Shui Qing thought about this question during dinner, but Bai Manshan was busy with important and important matters, so how could she ask him to run errands for her to buy land at this critical moment?

Now that he has brought it up himself, even his servants have already thought it through and immediately asked, "Do you have enough time?"
