Chapter 38 Return home from the south 1

Chen Shoucai went to the back hall to change his clothes and respectfully invited the lady to the back account room. The accountant was already waiting inside. When Hui Niang sat in the chair at the top, Chen Shoucai saluted and said respectfully, "Miss, there is such a big deal at home now. I don't know what she plans to do in the future?"

Hui Niang thought for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly, "Princess Nankang has known my existence. She can come this time, and there is no guarantee that there will be no next time. The other courtyards have also been destroyed, and Yuer and I have no place to stay. I miss the old house in Zhenjiang more and more. I just don't know if I can go back now?"

Hui Niang's idea was greatly beyond Chen Shoucai's expectation. I thought that the young lady would buy a house again and stopped in Ping'an, but she didn't want to go back to Zhenjiang. This is indeed a matter of waxing. Now the king of Yan and the emperor are fighting. When the army is in chaos, it is really dangerous for the two women to go from the north to the south. But what the young lady said also made some sense. I narrowly escaped this time. I don't know if there will be such luck next time.

Hui Niang also saw the difficulties of shopkeeper Chen and whispered, "I naturally know the difficulties of shopkeepers. Now that the war is in full force, it is really difficult for our mother and daughter to return to Zhenjiang. Can we join the salt team back to Zhenjiang? That's how I came to Beiping back then.

Chen Shoucai originally wanted to deny this method, but he looked up at the young lady's firm eyes. Keeping the money, he quickly bowed his head and agreed. Miss Hui, it seems that this is the only way now.

Chen Shoucai turned around and took a bunch of silver tickets handed over by Mr. The Account Room and respectfully put them on the table next to Hui Niang. When the young lady passed a hundred days, my boss once put 1,500 taels of gold silver tickets here. Miss, please have a look."

Hui Niang's heart was warm. She didn't expect that Chen Shoucai was really affectionate and righteous. Now she is in trouble and can still be like this. It's really a blessing of Zhiyuan and a blessing of salt. Hui Niang picked it up happily, divided it into two parts, and put it on the table separately.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this thousand taels is my thanks to Zhiyuan and me. Thank you, Shopkeeper Chen for his contribution to the salt industry and care for me over the years. These five hundred taels are used as the way for Yuer and me to return to Zhenjiang. Please also ask shopkeeper Chen to arrange it. I want to leave as soon as possible. This matter must be kept secret, including the Yan Palace.

Chen Shoucai and the account room knelt on their knees and answered respectfully.

The reason why Hui Niang insists on returning to Zhenjiang is that she has good intentions. Stay in Peiping, although you can wait for Mu Sheng to return triumphantly. But then? She doesn't want to be Mu Sheng's handle in the hands of the King of Yan. Second, under the eyes of the King of Yan, Princess Nankang can also pass away, and it is really dangerous to stay in Beiping. If there is a fire in another courtyard, some people will naturally think that they are dead. Even if you know the truth, because they are far away from here, they may open up and let them go. Just this time, I don't know when I will see my husband again?

On the evening of July 16, everything was arranged. Chen Shoucai personally escorted Hui Niang and Qiaoyu on the long road back to Zhenjiang, accompanied by only Xuezhu. Yueying and Qianyu have already decided to get married, so they stayed and prepared to get married next year.

The journey from Peiping to Yingtian was very smooth. Although I met the army of the king of Yan twice on the road, the salt team was not harassed because of the strict military discipline. Sixteen days later, the salt team arrived in Nanjing. Because Yan Jiayanxing had a good relationship with the government, he did not suffer too much trouble at the gate and entered Nanjing smoothly.

Hui Niang and Qiao Yu sat in a tightly covered carriage. Because Qiaoyu went out for the first time and arrived in the capital, she was naturally very excited. While his mother was not paying attention, he reached out and lifted the curtain on his side and looked out through the curtain.

The capital is extremely prosperous and has not been affected by the war. Hui Niang thought to herself, "Marquis, now I have arrived in the capital and I have seen the prosperity you mentioned with my own eyes, but where are you?"
