At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

When Li Shuangrong came back in the evening, Shuangxi and Fuxi were preparing dinner in the kitchen. Zhao Xiuer was so sad that she even fainted from crying, which frightened them all.

Fu Bao looked at Li Shuangrong who had hurried back and said, "I received a letter from home saying that my aunt had a miscarriage and Grandma Jin is gone."

Li Shuangrong's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurried into the house. That night, neither of them came out to eat.

The next morning, Zhao Xiuer's eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a low voice at the dinner table: "Granny Jin... This is a big deal, I have to go back. Your grandmother is old, and someone at home needs to take care of your aunt."

Fu Bao paused while eating and said, "When are we leaving? The weather is cold now, it would be safer to go back in the spring next year."

Zhao Xiuer wiped her tears and shook her head: "I will go back and pick them up in the spring. We should not separate as a family."

Fubao knew that it was not only because Grandma Jin was gone, but also because Yisheng and Yiqiu had been away from her for too long.

Fu Bao had no objection: "It's good that it's decided. We can take the official road and return quickly."

Zhao Xiuer's expression was full of struggle: "You have important things to do, you can't go with me. I am also worried about leaving you here alone, so your father won't go with me and will stay with you."

Fu Bao looked at the person who was usually the weakest and couldn't leave Li Shuangrong, and now he was determined to go back by himself. He was surprised and said: "Aren't you afraid? The road is so dangerous."

Zhao Xiuer shook her head: "I am a woman going back to visit my relatives and taking the official route. No one will make things difficult for me."

Fubao immediately shook his head: "No, the journey is too long, let Dad accompany you back, I can handle it here by myself."

The three of them argued for a long time, and the teenagers sat aside and ate in silence. Finally, Shuangxi said in the silence of the few people: "Aunt Xiu, we can accompany Yishu."

Seeing the look Zhao Xiuer was giving him, he immediately said, "We can also go back to Yuzhou with you."

Fubao was stunned. This was a solution. Zhao Xiuer would never agree to let her stay here alone, but if she went back alone, there would be too many accidents on the way, and someone would have to take care of her. Now the solution proposed by Shuangxi was feasible.

Zhao Xiu'er wanted to say something, but Fubao interrupted her and said, "Then either let your father go back with you, or take Brother Shuangxi and the others with you. Otherwise, wait until next year."

Of course Zhao Xiuer couldn't wait until next year, so she had to nod and agree to take the two older children, Shuangxi and Fuxi, with her.

They walked very quickly. The next morning, as soon as Fu Bao sent a pigeon to send a letter to Qingyang, Zhao Xiuer had already set off.

Before leaving, he gave Li Shuangrong instructions for a long time, but was reluctant to let go of Fubao. Finally, he gritted his teeth and got on the carriage.

As soon as Zhao Xiuer left, Fubao received news that the last batch of goods would be at the dock in ten days.

But how can he contact those people? Fu Bao was really troubled. He even thought of breaking in and using the space to move all the things away, but this would not only alert the enemy, but also easily get himself involved.

Three days later, Li Shuangrong came back mysteriously after moving the goods. He went into the house and told Fubao: "I heard today that the person in charge is the owner of a teahouse."

Fubao: "Which teahouse?"

Li Shuangrong thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called something like... Mingxiang Pavilion. They said there will be a treasure competition, but I was far away and couldn't hear it clearly."

Fu Bao murmured, "Mingxiang Pavilion...Mingxiang Pavilion...I seem to have seen it somewhere."

After saying that, she quickly called Yi An in: "Do you know where Mingxiang Pavilion is?"

Yi An nodded: "It's where we first met. That's Mingxiang Pavilion, a teahouse."

After hearing what he said, Fu Bao suddenly remembered this place, and excitedly pulled Yi An out the door. When they reached the gate, he turned to Li Shuangrong and shouted, "Dad, I'm going to check it out."

Before Li Shuangrong could say anything, she had already disappeared.

Sitting in a carriage, shaking all the way to the East Market, Yi An said: "We're here! This is it."

Fu Bao lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the three large characters on the plaque, turned around and asked, "Do you know the owner of this place?"

Yi An hesitated, not knowing what she was asking about, so he could only tell her everything he knew: "He runs a teahouse, and seems like a scholar, but he loves money very much. But he has a good heart, and he never chases us away when we beg here."

Fu Bao listened to his contradictory description, and his mind became even more confused. He didn't know how to attract the attention of this boss. But... he loves money, so he can take advantage of it.

Fubao tidied her dress, which was a new dress made of Yuehua brocade that she had specially changed into before going out. Anyone who knew the goods could tell at a glance that it was very expensive.

Yi An followed her closely, pretending to be calm and went into the teahouse with her.

As soon as we entered the door, a waiter came up to us warmly and said, "Sirs, please sit inside. What kind of tea would you like?"

Fubao pointed casually, ordered a few plates of snacks, and sat down at a seat by the window.

The waiter quickly started to make tea beside them. The process was so complicated that Fubao was dazzled.

Fu Bao tapped the table unintentionally and complained to Yi An, "This Yuezhou is really boring. There's nothing special about it. I've been out all day and have seen nothing but the usual stuff."

Yi An: "I will accompany you to go shopping in the afternoon. If you are still not interested, I will send you back to Yuzhou. You can think about opening a shop here later." After that, he said to the silent clerk next to him: "Brother, do you have any recommendations for places to visit?"

When the waiter next to him heard this, he quickly replied, "Miss, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait here for a while. There will be a treasure auction in the teahouse today. There will be prizes for the one who gets the treasure in the end. Many nobles will come."

Fu Bao propped up her chin with her hand: "Jingbao? What a boring thing, I don't want it." She pretended to be willful and capricious, and said with some disdain: "What prize is worth me waiting here?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Our boss just brought this stuff back from overseas. It's very rare."

Fubao became interested: "Shipped back from overseas?"

The guy nodded.

Fu Bao: "Then I'd better take a good look at it. If it really satisfies me, then I'll give you the silver."

As she spoke, Yi An took out a ten-liang silver ingot from her bosom. The waiter didn't expect her to be so generous, and his eyes almost popped out. He became more attentive to them, and even wanted to hold up the tea and feed it to them.

Half an hour later, Fu Bao was playing with the teacup in his hand out of boredom and yawned: "Why haven't you started yet?"

The waiter was even more anxious than she was, so he hurried to the back to urge her. Soon, a middle-aged man with bright eyes came out.
