Shopkeeper Zhang's wife seemed to want to follow, but Shopkeeper Zhang scolded her, "Wait at home."
When the people in the room heard him say this, no one followed him.
They watched them leave with confusion on their faces.
Manager Zhang followed Bei Yutang and her son to the inn. After entering the inn, Bei Yutang took out a wooden box from the side room and placed it in front of him.
"What is this?" Shopkeeper Zhang looked at him suspiciously.
Bei Yutang opened the wooden box, revealing bottles of porcelain vases. "A woman named Mu asked me to pass these things on to the shopkeeper. As for what they are, I have no idea."
When Zhang heard about Madam Mu and the special token in her hand, he immediately knew what it was. His eyes widened. Looking at these inconspicuous porcelain bottles in front of him, it was as if he saw a mountain of gold and silver.
Aren’t these mountains of gold and silver?
Although he didn't quite know how much Ice Cream could be made from a bottle of medicine, he knew the price of Ice Cream, which was worth a fortune.
If his cousin had not been the head manager of the Lei's Trading Company, he probably would not have known about Madam Mu, let alone the Ice Skin Cream.
Earlier, the chief treasurers of each state capital issued an order to them that anyone who met the person with the token should report and hand over the things that person brought immediately. Nothing else was said.
He knew what this thing was because he had someone above him.
Seeing his expression, Bei Yutang knew that he knew what it was. She was confused, but didn't say anything.
"I'd like to trouble Manager Zhang to sign on it and put his fingerprints on it. These are Mrs. Mu's special instructions, so please don't mind." Bei Yutang took out the receipt book from the package.
"Of course I do." Shopkeeper Zhang quickly signed his name and pressed his fingerprint.
"Madam Mu asked me to tell the shopkeeper that the things must be delivered to the chief shopkeeper in the provincial government in a timely manner. If it is delayed for half a day or a day, something might happen." Bei Yutang reminded softly.
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, no problem."
Bei Yutang saw that he was hesitant to speak, "Manager Zhang, do you have anything else to say?"
Shopkeeper Zhang rubbed his hands and asked with a smile, "Um, where is Madam Mu now?"
Bei Yutang said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal Madam Mu's whereabouts to anyone."
Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand and said, "No problem, I was just asking casually."
"Manager Zhang, please be sure to send these things away overnight." Bei Yutang ordered.
Shopkeeper Zhang understood what he meant and stood up to leave.
After Manager Zhang left, Bei Yutang packed up his things.
Xiao Moer asked, "Mother, are we leaving now?"
"right."
Although I have disguised myself, it is still unsafe to stay for one more day.
As soon as Manager Zhang left, Bei Yutang packed up her things and left Linshui Town.
As for Shopkeeper Zhang, after he got the things, he carefully protected them on the first floor. If anything went wrong with these things, he would never be able to pay for it in his lifetime.
Shopkeeper Zhang followed Bei Yutang's instructions and hurried back to the shop.
When the clerk saw him, he looked at the shopkeeper holding something like a treasure, his eyes swirling around it, and walked forward with a smile, "Shopkeeper, someone just came to see you with a sign."
The shopkeeper nodded and said to him, "Please have someone prepare the carriage. I need to go out for a while."
