Eleven Niang didn't pay attention to this. She was busy packing Brother Jin's luggage.

Don't bring those things like teacups, Buddha dust, etc. Just bring some leather jackets and boots. Although Jiayuguan is remote, I believe it is not an uninhabited place. It is really lacking, so just go there.

Just drag it and buy it. I looked up and saw Brother Jin holding a black gold riding whip, and said, these things are not allowed to be brought over. The wind will destroy the delicate trees in the forest. Even with the care of the general soldiers of Jiayuguan, you still have to

The most important thing is to be able to get along peacefully with the people around you. The most important thing is to never have the mentality of being superior to others. I don’t know how many talented people have lost their arrogant temper.

I knew Brother Jin was a little reluctant to give up the riding whip and handed it to Ah Jin to put it away.

Xu Lingyi came in: Have everything been packed?

After finishing cleaning up, Eleven Niangdao thought of the people who accompanied Brother Jin to the northwest this time, and hesitantly said, otherwise, let Changshun stay in Beijing. He is still young, and the northwest is too hard.

Changshun is nine years old this year. He is fair and slender and bears no resemblance to Changan.

A steward jokingly said that Changshun was a typical northerner and southerner.

Let him go. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, I have already made arrangements. When they went to Jiayuguan, they rented a courtyard outside the military camp. Except Brother Jin, everyone else lived there. Brother Jin went there when he was taking a shower. This way

You can let Master Pang continue to teach him martial arts, or you can ask your husband to check his homework. If you don't have anything to do, you can teach Chang'an Liu Erwu their martial arts and homework, and Chang Shun will follow. You can also learn a lot of knowledge.

Eleven Niang always felt that the lineup was too luxurious, like going on vacation rather than going to endure hardships. If it was normal, she would definitely mention Xu Lingyi tactfully, but after the conditions Xu Lingyi offered to brother Jin, she felt that she was too much

I'm worried. Xu Lingyi has obviously made arrangements for all of this.

The two discussed some specific matters regarding Brother Jin's trip and went to the Madam's place together.

Madam Tai is turning over the almanac: March 22nd is a good day, but in a few days it will be April 8th. Anyway, it can’t be more than a few days. It’s better to worship the Bodhisattva before leaving, so that the Bodhisattva can guarantee a safe journey.

If things go well, I just went to offer incense to the Bodhisattva on April 12th. It’s better to rest for a few more days and set off again when I’m mentally recharged. April 10th. April 24th. I’ve already passed by April 26th. Let’s go.

At this rate, no day is suitable.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang glanced at each other helplessly.

Mom, I think it will be March 22nd. The second lady looked at the two of them and said softly, Jiayuguan is not like Yanjing, it has four seasons. It is either along the road or it is hot. It is best to go at this time.

Okay. If it's any later, it'll get hot over there. It's not good to get heat stroke while walking.

Is that so? Mrs. Tai's memory has always been that it was very cold there, and she had to wear jackets in June. But her memory was not as good as before, so she looked at Xu Lingyi suspiciously, unable to make up her mind.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but cough slightly: March is the best time to leave. There is no positive denial or affirmation.

Mom went earlier. You can come back early. The second lady looked at it and said with a smile. Think about it, Brother Jin can wish you a happy birthday later. How wonderful.

The madam nodded slightly: Well, let's set off on March 22nd. Then she told Eleven Niang that since it's hot over there, remember to bring him a few more fans. Where can I find any good things in those remote places in Jiayuguan?

Sell

Eleven Niang responded with a smile.

Brother Jin smiled straight at the second lady.

The lady then asked in detail what clothes and utensils she had brought, and she didn't stop until she yawned.

The second lady sent the two of them out. She took out a small carved red lacquered lotus box from her sleeve and handed it to Brother Jin: It's a compass. Keep it carefully and don't forget the direction.

The meaning is profound.

I don’t know if Brother Jin understood it, but he smiled and said thank you as usual and followed Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang back to the main room.

Over there, Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Jiang were sitting side by side on the Kang, talking: I couldn't remember it at first. So I asked Fang, who happened to be there, to point to the scenery and tell him to recite it sentence by sentence. Now not only can I recite the poem fluently, but I can also recite the poems fluently.

He also told me what this sentence meant and what that sentence meant. There was a hint of pride in Fang's expression.

Sister-in-law is so smart, why did she come up with such a method? Jiang laughed and sighed, I will try it when I go back. Let’s see if our family brother can memorize two more poems. Brother Ting only likes to eat fish,

I don’t like eating roux, sister-in-law, do you have any good ideas? "Children, there’s nothing they don’t like to eat." Fang said with a smile, "Let’s just see what the mother-in-law on the stove does."

The two exchanged parenting tips, and soon the sun turned to the west. Mrs. Jiang stood up and said goodbye. Mrs. Fang did not leave her alone, but accompanied her to say goodbye to the third lady and then sent her to the car.

Mrs. Jin comes over: Are the four younger siblings working in the well?

Let's chat with me. Mrs. Fang watched Ms. Jiang's carriage leave the alley and then turned around.

Jin was puzzled.

The second sibling is the niece of the second aunt, and the fifth sibling is the niece of the fourth aunt. She is caught in the middle and has a hard time. Ms. Fang explained that if there is someone to gossip to, she will feel much better.

Could it be that the fourth sister-in-law is too worried? Mrs. Jin muttered that the second sister-in-law would have to move out sooner or later, and the fifth uncle didn't know how to run the family, so why would her life be so difficult?

Fang smiled and said nothing.

There are some things that Jin's body cannot understand. Because she is just like her second and fifth siblings. If something happens to her, someone will come forward.

Jiang and Fang talked for a long time and felt much better. When they returned home, they heard that Brother Jin would leave on March 22nd and discussed what kind of Cheng Yi would be good for Xu Sifu.

He is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so solemn. Xu Sizhen smiled and said, I will send him out of the city when the time comes, quietly give him a few hundred taels of silver and leave.

Is this appropriate? Mrs. Jiang hesitated and said, "I heard that the fifth uncle and the fifth brother and sister gave the sixth brother a copy of Chunqiu. They also joked that the sixth uncle should read it under the lamp."

Xu Siying smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he talked about the household affairs: Marquis Weibei married a daughter-in-law. Did mother say anything? Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but frown secretly.

Is it more important for the Hou family of Weibei to have a wife or Brother Jin’s Cheng Yi?

My mother said she would give me a pair of treasure vases and a screen, she said in an understatement, and brought the topic back to the subject. "Say, if we give us a set of four treasures for the study, how can the sixth uncle use them, and not embarrass the fifth uncle too much?"

I heard that my mother had collected all the things that my sixth brother usually played with, and she didn’t let him take any of them with him. Xu Sizhen smiled and said, I think I’ll just give him a box of pens. I’ll give him some money in private.

Ms. Jiang felt this was inappropriate.

The fifth uncle only has the land and real estate shared by his father-in-law when they got married and the dowry of the fifth younger brother and sister. The total sum of the two is probably only two thousand taels of silver a year. She said implicitly, if the gift we give is too expensive, the fifth uncle and the fifth younger brother and sister will not compare.

We, at least, are pretty much the same. We gave too many gifts, and I was afraid that my fifth uncle and my fifth younger siblings would be in trouble.

I know, Xu Sichen said with a smile, so I secretly gave some money to the sixth brother. We have the most income, and Cheng Yi, who is the same as the fifth brother, is a bit shabby.

But there’s no point in sending it secretly like this.

Mr. Jiang is too bad.

If she continues talking, I'm afraid Xu Sifu will misunderstand that she is reluctant to part with her and will always compare herself with her uncles.

She sighed secretly in her heart, and with a sudden change of heart, she simply ignored it and continued what she had just said: Mother, what you want is that we will all go to Weibei Hou Mansion for a wedding banquet.

Okay, Xu Sizhen said with a smile, you have only bought two pieces of new jewelry, why not take this opportunity to invite a goldsmith to come into the house to make jewelry just in time for the wedding banquet.

Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about how to handle the general affairs well

Let’s talk about it after Uncle Six has left. Mrs. Jiang was a little uninterested: If she mentioned it to her mother at this time, she would be unhappy. She also asked how the rice sales in Dezhou that the husband mentioned last time went.

Xu Siting was not very interested and said: Manager Bai sent a steward to Texas, and there will be no news back until the end of March. But deep down, he was muttering: Those maids and daughters-in-law are very happy to hear that they have new clothes and new jewelry.

, he saw that his wife was not very happy these days, so he asked a goldsmith to come into the house to make jewelry, just to make her happy, but looking at her, she looked uninterested.

Investing one hundred thousand taels of silver in one breath is also a big deal. Jiang said softly, your husband should also ask about it. You can't just rely on the manager for everything.

My father wants to make his own decisions on these matters. Xu Sizhen laughed after hearing this and said, "What's more, if you don't care about things, what will he do?"

Even so, daddy has entrusted the general affairs to you, so you should take care of it. If you take care of more things, my father-in-law can take care of less things. Mrs. Jiang persuaded softly, Xu Sifu's mind was no longer on this.

His wife always likes to let him take care of this and that

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

On March 22nd, Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie sent Brother Jin out of Shilipu. Brother Jin bowed solemnly to Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie: Father and mother were entrusted to the two brothers.

.

Don't worry, we will take care of your mother. But you should be careful along the way, Xu Sizhen said, stuffing a purse into Xu Sijie's pocket when he wasn't paying attention, and whispered, "It's ready in case of emergency."

Brother Jin beamed with joy, said thank you, and quickly stuffed his wallet into his sleeves: "If the fourth brother and the fifth brother are free, come to Jiayuguan to play."

Definitely, Xu Sichen must have smiled and waved to Brother Jin.

Brother Jin rode his horse forward.

Master Pang and others quickly caught up, leaving a trail of billowing yellow smoke.
