The master just agreed. He wasn't planning to stay long on this trip up the mountain anyway.
His idea is to write a letter and have you give it to Magistrate Zheng this afternoon, along with the compiled list of people from Xiechi'ao.
You'll go to Beishan this afternoon, collect your things, and then set off immediately.
At this point, Qin Mu untied the purse from his waist and handed it over.
"There are twenty taels in this purse. When Ah Kai went down the mountain earlier, I told them to look for piglets."
Before you come back, go find Brother Wen. If you find anything, bring it all back.
Also, we need to bring some salt back with us.
Your aunt's general store has been getting a lot of customers from Xiechi'ao buying salt lately, and there's not much left.
When you take the list of famous people down the mountain, mention this matter to Lord Zheng.
Currently, a piglet costs three to five hundred coins, while the price of government-issued salt remains unchanged.
There should be some left over from these twenty taels!
By the way, when you come back, please check the water level in the moat for me.
In addition, when Ah Kai came down the mountain before, I asked him to order a plow, two hoes, and two sickles from Zhang the blacksmith.
The money has already been paid; please bring it back with you on your way back.
"Okay! I'll go talk to Aunt Lan first. I need her to keep an eye on my aunt's soap workshop."
My aunt said she would give me the wood ash and cement in the next few days.
Qin Mu nodded, signaling Shen Kai to go ahead and get busy.
His gaze, however, fell on the potato vines that had just sprouted in the vegetable patch.
Unlike the bustling and harmonious atmosphere in Chiyu, the Qi family in Qijia Village is a different story.
Today is Qi Mingyu's first day after his wedding.
Logically, Xue Mengyu and he should have gotten up early to serve tea to their parents.
But Old Man Qi and Madam Shen waited and waited in the main room, but no one got up.
Thinking about the commotion last night, the two were both angry, anxious, and worried.
They wanted to go and see what was going on, but since it was a new house and their daughter-in-law was still resting inside, they dared not open the door rashly.
After they missed breakfast and endured their hunger, they finally heard noises coming from the bridal chamber at the end of the day.
Shen's face looked extremely pale!
She couldn't sit still any longer, and in her mind she cursed Xue Mengyu's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Hearing the door to the new house open and Xue Mengyu calling for servants, she stormed over.
When he saw the dark circles under Xue Mengyu's eyes, he was so angry that he disregarded his status and cursed directly:
"Mr. Xue, Mingyu is a scholar, but his physique is not as strong as that of people who work in the fields."
You're a woman, after all; you should be more reserved when it comes to sex.
Mingyu is going to take the imperial examination this year. Your dissolute lifestyle will only distract him from his studies.
From today onwards, you will have your own room.
Mingyu needs to sleep in the study!
Xue Mengyu was so overjoyed by the good news yesterday that she couldn't sleep well.
She only drifted off to sleep after the first rooster crowed.
Therefore, even now, she still feels like she hasn't had enough sleep.
When Shen came over, she was stretching and yawning in a very unladylike manner.
She had only yawned halfway through when she heard these words, and her face darkened.
She was no pushover; in her eyes, the Shen family was nothing.
Upon hearing himself belittled in this way, he immediately retorted sarcastically:
"I say, you old hag, aren't you overreaching?"
Your son isn't a baby anymore; why do you have to interfere in everything he does in his room?
I said, are you sick?
"That Chi family woman from before, she couldn't stand you anymore, that's why she divorced and left, right?"
