Chapter 2398 Returning to Beijing Together
Of course, Fang's father and Fang's mother also had other considerations.
Although Malu set out with several brothers, his brothers were not married and were rough-handed in their work. Fang Xiyue still had her child with her. She was traveling with the Xu family, so she could be Lin's company.
Ms. Lin has experience in raising children, so she will not let Fang Xiyue, a newly minted mother, be confused after the encounter.
The Xu family also thinks this is good. The three of them have no time at all. Xu Zhensheng is jumping up and down with great energy, but he has just recovered from his injury and can hardly do anything else.
If Malu and the other brothers were with them, they would feel much more at ease.
Both parties agreed and immediately decided to set off the next day.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng looked at each other, and then said, "In that case, let's stay one more day and go with you."
Several people looked at her in surprise, and Shu Yu smiled and said, "Although we are going back to Dong'an Mansion, we still have to walk together for a part of the way. And the opportunity is rare, so why not take a little detour and visit our house, so that I can make the most of it?" As a landowner, how about you rest for two days and then continue your journey north?"
Xu Jiafang's family thought it was okay. This way they no longer needed to hire a separate escort and could go with Lu Ji's motorcade.
Furthermore, it was their first time to come to Beijing and they didn’t know much about the city, so they were inevitably worried. Along the way, it would also be a good idea to ask Shu Yu about the situation in the capital.
Xu Dali, in particular, wanted to know a lot about the Shangguan who was about to become Xu Zhensheng, Lord Jing of Dali Temple.
The matter was settled like this. Even though Fang Xiyue was reluctant to leave, she felt relieved when she thought that they would be reunited soon.
Shu Quan, who had been standing by and watching, hesitated to speak. When they were almost done discussing, he smiled and said, "Lu... County Master Lu, you see, we will set off the day after tomorrow, or we can go together." .”
The Jincheng Mansion that the Shu family wants to return to is not very far from the capital, so they can go together and have each other's company, right?
Shu Yu glanced at him sideways and said, "Whatever, you take care of your own food, clothing, housing and transportation anyway, we won't care about you."
Even if she doesn't agree, it doesn't make any difference as long as the Shu family just follows them.
Shu Quan said, "No problem, we will do this ourselves."
He didn't dare to ask others to do anything. Fortunately, the emperor also rewarded them with money this time. They will buy a mule cart tomorrow and the whole family will follow.
All the families were very happy. Aunt Fang said hurriedly, "Since we have to leave the next day, let's get together tonight and have a meal together. This kind of opportunity will be rare in the future."
She said to Manager Yu, "Manager Yu, our house is too small. Can you borrow it from Zhuangzi and invite some of our close friends to have a meal together?"
"Of course." Manager Yu was happy to give this favor. Not to mention that County Lord Lu was here, even if he wasn't here, Xu Zhensheng would be working as an errand at Dali Temple from now on, and the Malu brothers would have to work with Lord Qi. Ah, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up even if he tries to flatter me.
If he sells well, there is no harm in it.
After getting the confirmation, Aunt Fang called Lin and Ying Xi, and the three of them went to the county town to buy food.
The Shu family didn't raise the money. They didn't have much money in hand, and they spent a lot of money on the road. They would also need money to settle down in the future. This money had to be spent wisely, so they could just pool money with the Xu family and the Fang family to treat guests.
