Chapter 91 Special carriage with gold and silver
Wu Xinan nodded and led Guan's mother and Zhiniao, Du Juan and Liu Pozi out together. Guan's mother naturally wanted to go with her. Zhiniao and Du Juan were girls who sold their bodies and also wanted to follow the owner's house. Only Liu Pozi was a short-term worker. Wu Xinan thought she was going to stay in Hangzhou, so she planned to give her a sum of money and let her go home to spend her old age. However, Liu Pozi knelt down and begged her,
"Miss, I won't hide it from you. Although my family is in Hangzhou, the old man went there early and left three sons. He relied on the old man to work as a short-term worker in the mansion to marry a wife. Now there are several grandchildren, only... the old man went back and took a look..."
When he spoke, his expression became dark.
"...No grandchildren and granddaughter are relatives to the old slave... The old slave has long been used to it in the mansion. I don't know what I can do after leaving the eldest lady. I'd like to take the old slave with me. The old slave is still strong and can do all the heavy work!"
Seeing this, Guan's mother sighed and pleaded with Wu Xin'an.
"Miss, let's keep Mother Liu. In the end, there must be a rough work in our yard. When Mother Liu goes, she will have to join new people when she arrives in Nanjing. As the saying goes, it is said that clothes are not new, and people are not as good as old. It's better for Mother Liu!"
Mrs. Liu has been in this mansion for many years. Her sons and daughters-in-law have each got married, and her grandchildren are not close to her grandmother. She is afraid that she will not eat when she goes back. She still has to do things and will not even have to suffer some idleness. It is better to serve a young lady in this mansion in their small courtyard. The young lady is generous and righteous, and will not treat her badly.
Wu Xinan thought about it and asked,
"You come with me, are your son and daughter-in-law willing?"
Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly,
"As long as the old slave sends back the monthly money every month, what are they unwilling to do?"
None of my three sons are filial, and when they meet every month, they ask about money. I am afraid that they will stay in the master's house until they die of old age, and they may even get a sum of money for burial!
Seeing this, Wu Xinan nodded.
"That's it, then follow me!"
Everyone in Wu Xinan's yard would follow her to Nanjing.
Wu Xin'an led the people to the front of the mansion. A carriage had already been parked at the gate. The Wu Mansion hired a total of ten carriages. Five carriages in front of them had already transported heavy things and got on the boat first. Then there were five cars that set off today. However, Wu Hongwen and his wife took their youngest daughter, two daughters and two sons, and Fu Laofu and Wu Xin'an were alone.
Wu Xinan led the man to his special carriage. She winked at Guan's mother. Guan's mother nodded and hurriedly led Zhiniao and several others to put the bags she carried on the car. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wu Xinan turned back to the yard and carried a wooden box in one hand and a big bag in the other.
She was very strong, and the heavy wooden box was in her hand as if she had carried a makeup box. She walked with her brisk steps. No one cared about it when everyone saw it. Zhiniao had to come up and take over without knowing the inside story.
"Miss, come on!"
Wu Xinan shook her head,
"No need, go to the yard to bring Ah Huang out!"
Ah Huang followed him from the mountains to Hangzhou City. Naturally, he could not throw it away now, and he also wanted to take it to Nanjing!
Zhiniao left as he said, Wu Xin'an put the box into the carriage, and Guan's mother hurried over to keep it. Wu Xin'an handed over his bag to Guan's mother again,
"The things here are also very important. Even if you don't want that box of things, you can't throw them away. Mom, you must take care of them carefully!"
As soon as he said this, Guan's mother was shocked. Something was more important than gold and silver. She hurriedly reached out and hugged her. She touched the hard thing inside and felt the hard stuff. It was probably the wooden box that contained something, and she couldn't help but change her face.
"Have you got some more baby back?"
No wonder Guan’s mother asked this question. Now she is becoming increasingly unable to understand this child who has been raised since childhood. Since she learned boxing, her skills have increased day by day. She can get both gold and silver ingots, so what else can’t be brought back?
Wu Xinan nodded,
"I'm not hiding it. Anything that comes here can be worth so much gold ingots in a room. But this thing is not mine, it's someone else's. You can keep it for me. If you lose it, I can't afford it!"
When Guan heard this, she hugged her tighter and said solemnly,
"Don't worry, whoever dares to touch these things, I will fight with him!"
"Um!"
Wu Xinan turned around and got out of the car. He went to the front of him and saw Wu Hongwen. Wu Hongwen was standing on the steps and watching the people bring the cages onto the carriage. When he saw her coming, he nodded.
"An An is here, are the things in your yard cleaned up?"
Wu Xinan nodded,
"It's already done, father...we are going to set off?"
Wu Hongwen nodded, turned around and looked at the gate of the Wu Mansion behind him. The plaque above his head was taken down by Wu Cheng,
"well……"
Wu Hongwen looked at the people with his hands behind his back and wrapped the plaque in cloth, put it on the carriage, and sighed a long time, Wu Xinan asked,
"Did my father be reluctant to leave Hangzhou?"
Wu Hongwen smiled bitterly,
"If you say that you are willing to give up is fake. After you passed the imperial examination, you have been to Hangzhou. You have been there for ten years and are about to leave now. The feeling in your heart is naturally..."
After saying that, he sighed again, turned his head to look at his daughter, and gritted his teeth.
"Forget it, let's go!"
The master issued an order, and the people in the mansion started to move. The girls and women helped the masters get into the car and the groom in the car whipped it.
"Bang..."
With a crisp sound, the whip pulled a whip flower in the air, the wheels slowly turned, and the carriage drove forward.
Wu Xinan sat on his carriage, lifted the curtain and looked outside. Seeing that he had left the alley and drove onto the lively street, he ordered his mother Guan,
"Mom, hurry up and do it!"
"yes!"
Guan Ma hurriedly opened the box under her feet, revealing the gold and silver ingots inside. The bright light shot out, and immediately shaking the eyes of two girls.
"oops……"
Zhiniao exclaimed, and was covered by Wu Xinan beside him.
"Shh, don't make a noise!"
"Um..."
Zhiniao's mouth was covered, and her big eyes kept blinking. Du Juan, who was beside him, covered her mouth with her own hands. She looked around with panic on her face. She was sitting outside the carriage with a panic. Du Juan finally breathed evenly and asked in a low voice.
"Miss... so many...beats...where did you come from?"
Wu Xinan responded,
"You don't have to ask where it comes from. Anyway, I got it from the right path. This is your lady's private money..."
After saying that, he said proudly,
"I'm just saying that I'm going to Nanjing, even if I go to the capital, we can live a good life. I've said that... I can't be hungry for you!"
Zhiniao was simple-minded, and he nodded repeatedly when he heard this, took Wu Xinan's hand covering his mouth away, and whispered,
"So many...that, we just put it on the surface?"
When Guan heard this, she smiled.
"Miss is ready!"
As he said that, he moved the box away, lifted the mat under his feet, and fumbled in the bottom of his head, then opened a hidden board to reveal the hidden square inside.
"Miss has customized the carriage, and the things are here!"
After saying that, he also greeted the two of them.
"Come here and help!"
"oh oh……"
The two girls woke up from their dreams and hurried over to help Guan’s mother put the ingots carefully into the dark compartment. Then they opened Wu Xin'an’s big bag, put the boxes inside one by one, and then put down the dark board. It was a tight fit, and there was no trace at all. Then they put on the pad, and no one could see it!
Guan Mama told the two,
"The three of us took turns guarding the carriage, so we can't make any mistakes!"
"yes!"
This was the first time in his life that the two girls had seen so many gold and silver treasures. Their faces were red with excitement. Zhiniao's eyes were fixed on the dark board as if they had grown roots, and they refused to move them away. Wu Xin couldn't help but smile when she saw this.
"Don't stare at the car board with a hole..."
Cuckoo also said,
"Don't keep staring at that place. Didn't you tell someone there's something underneath?"
Zhiniao then withdrew her gaze when she heard this, but she couldn't help but ask Wu Xin'an again,
"Miss, how did you get it...Not...Not..."
She widened her eyes, raised her hand and gestured to her neck with a beheaded gesture.
"Halfway through the journey?"
This girl had the same idea as Guan’s mother. Wu Xinan just laughed when she heard this.
"Don't guess it all, it's the right way. I will never sue your wife. You still think about how we spend it in Nanjing, right?"
Speaking of this, the girls immediately opened up their minds.
"What is better in Nanjing than in Hangzhou?"
Wu Xinan said with a smile,
"I read my father's book that Nanjing City is filled with tigers and dragons, beautiful scenery, and the city walls are extremely tall and magnificent, so Hangzhou City is naturally incomparable..."
The two little girls didn't care whether the Nanjing city was tall and magnificent, but they talked about the famous Qinhuai River.
"I heard that when Taizu was in Nanjing, he ordered thousands of river lanterns to be lit in the Qinhuai River. That situation would be like the stars in the sky falling into the world, and it looked as beautiful as a fairyland?"
"Yes! Yes! I heard that there are some famous prostitutes from Qinhuai, the most beautiful man in Jiangnan!"
Guan's mother listened and said,
"Where did the little girl hear it? Is this what the girl's family should say?"
Zhiniao looked dissatisfied.
"Mom, it's not me who's talking alone. Since I heard that the master was going to be transferred to Nanjing, the servants in this mansion have been talking about the appearance of Nanjing City..."
After saying that, I thought about it,
Chapter completed!
