Chapter 229 Arrival in the Capital
Ever since my young master met Mr. Song and Ms. Jiang, his fortune has become somewhat unstable.
Sometimes you lose a lot of money, sometimes you make a lot of money.
For the moment, it is hard to tell whether Mr. Song and Ms. Jiang are good or bad for the young master's fortune.
But if we calculate it this way, the loss should be less and the gain should be more, so it is likely to help the young master's fortune?
But this is just his guess...
It would be great if there was one thing that could confirm this at this moment.
Xinghe was thinking about it when a servant came to report that a peddler was passing by and found a house here, so he wanted to stay there for a night.
In line with Jiang Junli's principle of always being helpful, Xinghe nodded and said, "Please clean up a guest room in the outer courtyard for the guests to stay overnight, and prepare some hot meals."
"Yes." The servant took the order and left.
Not long after, another servant came. This time, it was a couple with their two children who were going to visit relatives. They passed by here and couldn't find an inn, so they hoped to stay for a night.
Xinghe’s response was still to clean up the guest rooms and prepare meals.
After another meal, another servant came to report that there was a caravan that wanted to stay overnight...
…
By the second half of the night, the entire front yard of the mansion was packed with people. Just for the meals, all the food prepared in the kitchen that night was used up.
All the ingredients in the mansion were found from various places by Jiang Junli's order. They are of excellent quality. Even the fresh vegetables are quite hard to come by and are grown in a greenhouse.
Just in this one night, he spent one or two hundred taels of silver just to take in these guests.
Xinghe thought about it seriously and felt that Song Jingyun was probably the one who harmed his young master's fortune.
It seems that it would be better for my young master to stay away from Song Jingyun and his wife in the future.
The next day, everyone got up early.
Because they had to arrive in the capital early, Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia did not dare to waste time and planned to set off after breakfast.
Jiang Junli was also ready to go together, and asked Xinghe to pack up and be ready to go out in an hour.
And those who stayed overnight said goodbye and left after a simple breakfast.
Before leaving, I thanked you profusely.
After those people left, the servants began to clean up the guest rooms. After a while, they came out of the rooms one after another.
"The peddler left behind a bolt of silk."
"The couple with the child left behind a silver ingot."
"The caravan left behind a box of tea."
"The old man left behind a blue and white porcelain vase..."
All the money added up was worth a lot, nearly five hundred taels! Xinghe took a breath of cold air when he heard this, and even blinked his eyes again and again.
There is no doubt that Mr. Song can bring fortune to our young master. We should invite Mr. Song and his wife to our home more often in the future!
Because his hypothesis was verified, Xinghe prepared an extra portion for Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia while packing up daily necessities.
But Jiang Junli was quite troublesome when he went out. He needed a lot of daily necessities, plus Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia. When the group set out, there were six carriages and more than 30 servants accompanying them, and they were also protected by the escort agency.
The battle is really grand!
But with so many people, the speed of travel was not slow. In addition, the escort agency was often on the road and was very familiar with the routes. They could arrange everything properly, including when to travel, when to rest and when to stay overnight.
Originally, Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia planned to take half a month to travel, but in just ten days, they arrived in the capital.
The two beasts will start school next Monday, which coincides with the Lantern Festival. They will be busy these two days, so there is a high probability that there will be no updates in these two days. You can check it out next Monday night~ (End of this chapter)
