Chapter 236 Visiting Li
Just now, Jiang Feng and Yu Di were placed at the city gate by the old man. The old man wanted to go to the east side of the city gate, and the carriage was heading north, which was not on the way.
The two of them had no choice but to chase the car on foot. Before he left, the old man warned him, "Young man, you must find out everything and don't misunderstand the prince."
Jiang Feng responded with a smile.
"Master, what should we do?"
Jiang Feng looked at the carriage going away and said, "Eat first!"
Yudi thought he had heard wrongly: "Eat, aren't we going to chase?"
"I'm almost starving to death, how can I have the energy to chase after you!"
The raindrops touched their empty stomachs and made inopportune gurgling sounds.
He glanced at Jiang Feng awkwardly: "Master, you have to give me money so that I can buy some dry food!"
Jiang Feng looked at him in surprise and said, "Isn't all the money with you?"
Yudi said in panic, "Master, I've given you all the three taels of silver I have. You wouldn't have... spent it all, would you?"
Jiang Feng scratched his head, and Yudi beat his chest and looked up at the sky.
He knew that the money could not be given to the young master. How could he save money? He regretted it so much now that his heart was bleeding!
Jiang Feng smiled and patted him: "Let's go, let's go eat!"
Yudi's eyes lit up: "Master, do you still have money?"
Jiang Feng took out his pocket and showed it to him: "No."
Raindrop was puzzled: "Where can we eat if we have no money?"
Jiang Feng looked at him and smiled: "Wangfu!"
Yudi opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he was still unconscious, he saw Jiang Feng had already walked away and shouted, "Master, wait for me!"
When Si Yuzhu and his group entered the palace, Xie Shuangbai happened to be away.
Butler Wang led them to a courtyard and said, "The princess has instructed that if anyone arrives first, you should rest first. The princess will inform you later."
"Thank you for your consideration, Princess, and thank you, Butler."
"Please have a good rest, gentlemen."
As soon as the housekeeper left, Sinan looked around the yard.
The yard is not big, with only three empty rooms and no scenery to speak of. It looks even worse than the villas of wealthy families in the capital.
He looked at the somewhat shabby room and said with some disdain: "This courtyard is not even as big as Bin City, and it's even balder than Bin City."
Zhu Xin grabbed him and said, "Sinan, watch your words!"
Sinan felt a little regretful after he finished speaking, but he felt relieved when he saw that no one reacted.
He looked around and found the room on the south side was the biggest. He pulled Zhuxin and opened the door: "Let's live in this room!"
Seeing that no one said anything, Zhu Xin went into the house with some embarrassment.
There are two small houses left, so Si Yuzhu and Yan Tai will naturally live there.
The remaining Xiu'er lives with another person.
The few of them were very tired after traveling for days, so they simply washed up and started packing their luggage.
It’s nothing special to call it luggage, just a few sets of clothes.
Although the furnishings in the room are simple, it has everything you need.
Yantai said happily: "The princess is really kind, she even made the bedding."
Si Yuzhu also felt the princess's thoughtfulness. He took off his outer robe and said, "I'm going to rest for a while. If the princess comes to tell you, remember to call me!"
"Don't worry, sir!"
After breakfast today, Xie Shuangbai remembered that the day before he came back, Zhao Dunzi asked him to go and see his wife and children.
He asked the housekeeper to prepare the car and get ready to go out. Rong Chi found out and refused to do it, and he also clamored to go.
Xie Shuangbai also didn't want to leave him alone at home.
He took the address and went to Shanren Lane with Rong Chi.
Xie Shuangbai was not familiar with Fencheng. He opened the car window and looked at the people in Fencheng, although they were not as numerous as those in Bincheng and Rongcheng.
But at least no one's face looked gloomy or hopeless.
The carriage arrived at Shanren Lane, which had a good location and should be in the prosperous area of Fencheng. There were obviously more hawkers and restaurants around.
It was surprisingly close to the palace, and it only took a cup of tea for the carriage to arrive.
The alley is full of blue brick courtyards, which looks very exquisite.
Just looking at the buildings, you can tell that the people living there are all well-off, and by modern standards they must be middle class.
An old lady was picking vegetables in front of a courtyard gate.
She saw a carriage entering the alley and looked at it curiously.
Although the conditions in their alley are good, only a few people raise horses. After all, horses are precious and more difficult to take care of than mules and donkeys.
Today, a carriage actually stopped in their alley. I wonder who it was looking for.
Rong Wu took the address and looked at it. Standing in front of a door, he knocked on it.
"Who is it?" a child's question came from the yard.
"Excuse me, is this Zhao Dunzi's house?"
The boy in the yard shouted, "Mom, looking for Dad!"
"I'm here!" Li opened the door and asked with a vigilant look on her face, "Are you..."
Xie Shuangbai had just gotten off the carriage with Rong Chi, and he appeared behind Rong Wu with Rong Chi.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Xie Shuangbai. I don't know if Brother Zhao mentioned me to you. I came back from the camp two days ago, and Brother Zhao asked me to bring you some things."
Of course Li knew that this was the famous Xie Xiaoxiucai!
She wiped her hands on her apron, quickly opened the door, and said politely, "Please come in, please come in. The head of the household keeps mentioning you! The house is a mess, please bear with me!"
"You're welcome, sister-in-law. I'm sorry for disturbing you by coming here."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. Let's not stay in the yard anymore. Come inside and sit down!"
The lady next door saw Xie Shuangbai and Rong Chi getting off the carriage and entering the new house.
After rolling my eyes a few times, it seems that I have to maintain good neighborly relations with the new people in the future.
It would be troublesome if it turned out to be someone they couldn't afford to offend. Fortunately, their family had helped them in the past!
The aunt stopped picking vegetables, closed the door and went to visit friends.
Xie Shuangbai took Rong Chi to look around the yard. The yard was not small and was well-maintained. The vegetable patch had been cultivated and was ready for sowing.
Li invited them in, quickly boiled some water, and took out the tea that Zhao Dunzi usually hid and was reluctant to drink.
Li poured a cup of tea for Xie Shuangbai and made a bowl of goat milk for Rong Chi.
"There's nothing good at home, so please don't be offended by the simple tea I offer to you, young scholar."
She looked at Rong Chi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and placed the goat milk in front of him:
"I don't know what the young master likes to drink. I got some goat milk this morning with sugar in it. I wonder if the young master likes it!"
Xie Shuangbai said gently, "You're too polite, sister-in-law." He looked at Rong Chi and said, "Chi'er, this is goat milk. Please drink it."
Rong Chi took a sip and said, "It's sweet." He looked at Li and said in a baby voice, "Thank you!"
Seeing how well-behaved and cute the child was, Mrs. Li couldn't stop smiling.
The faint aroma of tea lingered at the tip of Xie Shuangbai's nose: "Sister-in-law, this is good tea. I guess Brother Zhao usually can't bear to drink it!"
Mrs. Li instantly relaxed and said with a smile, "You really understand him. He works himself to death every day and doesn't even want to eat anything!"
Xie Shuangbai thought of Zhao Dunzi, who was indeed a capable man.
"Brother Zhao is a good man. He may not be willing to give up himself, but he is very willing to give up his sister-in-law and nephew!"
He glanced at Rong Wu and took the package.
"Sister-in-law, this is what Brother Zhao asked me to bring you. It's genuine mountain produce picked from Yuxue Mountain. It's very rare. Sister-in-law, please keep it well!"
