Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Yulan stood up and scolded, "Master Chen, please respect yourself."

Chen Wenjuan then withdrew his hand awkwardly, chuckled, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Don't blame me, Madam Du. I was a little too impatient."

Du Wenxiu smiled and waved his hand, saying it was okay.

"Why are the merchants from the Western Regions unwilling to come to Dongxing County? Is there any unpleasant past?"

she asked curiously.

Chen Wenju shook his head slightly, wondering:

"I don't know about that, but he can't stay in the city for too long, so we'd better go there early. I'm afraid he just agreed to my request perfunctorily, and it would be troublesome if we can't find him later."

Du Wenxiu nodded and said that what Young Master Chen said was right. Then he stood up and packed his things, ready to leave with Chen Wenju.

A Luo lifted the curtain and saw that she was not joking and was really packing clothes, so he hurried over and said:

"You'll be gone for a few days. Are you going to leave Haisheng hungry at home again?"

"Oh, that's what my aunt reminded me of." Du Wenxiu was surprised.

Whenever she talked about business, she subconsciously forgot about her son.

However, the merchants traveling to and from the Western Regions were concerned with watermelon and pickled beans, and whether their own pickles could be directly served on the tables of the nobles, so they could not delay.

"Auntie, why don't you hurry up and pack up, and we can go together, so that I can breastfeed the baby during the trip and during the breaks in business."

A Luo opened his mouth to say something, but saw that she turned back to pack. Helplessly, he had to listen to her and pack the things she wanted to take.

But taking the child out is not as simple as just packing clothes and taking some money.

There are so many diapers alone. I guess when I'm away from home, it's not as convenient as at home, so I have to bring more with me. If I can't change them all, I can just throw them away.

This caused a lot of trouble. Du Wenxiu, who had originally planned to travel light, got on the car, but the children's things alone took up half the space.

There is no way around it. Being a mother and raising a child is like this.

She could only comfort herself in this way.

Fortunately, I had A-Luo's help, which saved me a lot of trouble.

"Aunt, I will definitely respect you and take care of you in your old age." Du Wenxiu climbed onto A Luo's arm, leaning gently on her shoulder and said.

Ah Luo's eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "I just need a bite to eat, as long as I don't starve to death. I just hope you are all well..."

"Well, we are all fine, along with my aunt and sister, everything is fine."

Du Wenxiu leaned against A Luo, and her voice was vague, seeming far and near.

After a bumpy ride, they arrived at the city when it was already dark. The man Chen Wenju left behind to keep an eye on the merchants traveling to and from the Western Regions came up and said that the merchant was still in the room.

"He didn't show any signs of packing up to leave, so I guess he's still keeping his promise."

In this case, Chen Wenju was not in a hurry. He asked the waiter to open a room for Du Wenxiu and others to rest, and said that they would go to look for the merchant early the next morning.

"Could he... think that it would take you a few days to send someone over, so he wasn't in a hurry? And you were keeping an eye on him, did he have anyone keep an eye on you?"

Du Wenxiu thought about it again and again and decided to remind Chen Wenju.

Chen Wenju thought for a while and felt that what she said made sense.

The previous person on guard was replaced, and the new one was instructed to keep a close eye on the room where the merchant lived.

"If there is any unusual movement, no matter how late it is, you must wake me up."

"Yes, don't worry, Master."

After a busy day today, riding in a car is not a comfortable experience.

As soon as Du Wenxiu fell asleep, the child was hungry, so he had to cheer up and feed the child.

I heard some noise outside in a daze and became alert.

Sure enough, after a while, one of Chen Wenju's servants came and knocked on the door.

"Madam Du, my young master is just talking to the merchant and is asking if you have fallen asleep. Is it convenient for him to go over and see you now?"

Du Wenxiu quickly agreed and said he would be there right away.

Changing clothes in a hurry, A Luo couldn't help grumbling: "How can you ask someone to discuss business in the middle of the night..."

Du Wenxiu just found it funny and said, "If it wasn't for blocking the way, I'm afraid this business deal wouldn't have been discussed in the middle of the night."

As soon as Luo thought about it, he knew the reason and burst out laughing, but was afraid of waking up the sleeping child, so he quickly stopped laughing.

Du Wenxiu put on some makeup and then got up and followed the servant. They walked a long way before turning right and entering a room upstairs.

The upper house is divided into two rooms, luxuriously decorated, just like an ordinary home, with all the necessary furnishings.

Chen Wenju was sitting at one side of the round table, smiling happily, and pouring himself tea leisurely and slowly.

There was another tall figure standing in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, without saying a word.

"I said I would pick someone up and come see you. Businessmen pursue profits. Wouldn't it be good for us to make money together?"

"You just want to run away in the middle of the night. What are you running for? How can you run away from my palm? Hey."

The man just remained silent and ignored him.

I originally thought that this merchant from the Western Regions was a foreigner with red hair and blue eyes, but when I looked at his back, he seemed to be no different from a Chinese, except that he was more muscular.

Seeing Du Wenxiu coming, Chen Wenju hurriedly stood up and offered him a seat. Du Wenxiu walked over with confidence and bowed.

"Master Chen, please don't blame me. I am late."

She noticed that when she spoke, the merchant who traveled to the Western Regions suddenly tensed up and seemed a little stiff.

The man slowly turned his head, his face showing some panic, but Du Wenxiu was no less frightened than him.

"Sangui!" Du Wenxiu screamed and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

If this person is not Lu Sangui who killed someone and escaped, then who could it be?

"You, when did you come back?" Du Wenxiu walked around the table, walked quickly forward, and stood two or three steps away from him.

Unable to hide the surprise on his face, he couldn't help but ask.

"Sister-in-law, my voice sounds a bit like yours..." Lu Sangui's face was slightly bitter and his voice was slightly choked.

"Sangui, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you come back to see us?" Du Wenxiu was full of confusion and didn't know where to start.

Lu Sangui glanced at Chen Wenju quietly, turned his head to the side, and murmured, "I, I haven't been back to Dongxing County for a long time. Sister-in-law should know why."

"Is it about Ershun's surrender?" Du Wenxiu was very smart. As soon as he heard this, he remembered this matter.

At that time, Sangui and his brother Ershun killed their sister-in-law and the adulterer who were committing adultery at home, and then both of them fled.

Before leaving, he went to say goodbye to Lu Fanghai. Lu Fanghai was already in financial difficulty at the time, but he still gave him twenty taels of silver from selling deer for his travels.

"Turn yourself in? When did it happen?" Lu Sangui was even more shocked and asked hurriedly.

"You don't know?" Du Wenxiu thought about it for a moment and knew the secret.

Lu Sangui smiled bitterly: "Back then, when I took the money given by Brother Lu, my brother and I went a long way."

"But one night, my brother left me some money and left. He also sent someone to tell me that the two of us would be too conspicuous together and it would be better for us to go our separate ways."

"He also said that we are all grown men, and as long as we have hands and feet we won't starve to death, so I don't need to worry."
