After the date of travel was confirmed, Leng Yan took advantage of these few days to work with her father and sister-in-law to make some renovations to the food store and hot pot restaurant in the town, as well as the Leng family canteen in Taojing Village.

After that, she launched several new products to ensure that the shop could continue to produce new products steadily during her absence.

In the soap factory and cassava flour workshop in the village, Leng Yan and Leng Su specifically instructed Zhang Yuemei, who was in charge, about some things, and then asked Zhang Cuiniang to check on them from time to time to make sure that things were progressing smoothly. Only then could they feel at ease.

They say that you eat dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off, and the day of departure comes in the blink of an eye.

Early that morning, Zhang Cuiniang specially cut the first batch of leeks, mixed them with fat and lean pork stuffing, made fresh and delicious dumplings with leek and pork stuffing, and served them steaming hot on the table.

The family smelled the fragrance and were all overwhelmed by it. It temporarily dispelled their reluctance to leave. The family ate and chatted about family matters, just like any other day.

After the family had a satisfying breakfast, Leng Xun went to the backyard to drive the ox cart over and helped load the luggage that had been packed in the past few days onto the cart.

When Leng Kang left before, he traveled light in order to hurry and didn't bring much with him.

This time, Leng Yan and her friends followed their aunt to Beijing. Zhang Cuiniang and her friends not only brought a lot of local specialties, but also wanted to move their entire home with them.

They were busy carrying things up one by one, and finally filled up a whole ox cart. If Chen Yueshu hadn't said that there were too many things and the road was difficult to travel, there would have been even more.

After the ox cart was full, Leng Xun drove towards the town first, while Old Man Leng drove another ox cart and followed closely behind them.

After the ox cart arrived at Hulu Town, it turned several turns and stopped in front of a house that was neither too big nor too small.

This house belonged to the Sheng family, and it was also the place where Chen Yueshu and her children stayed when they first arrived at Hulu Town and took a boat south.

Later, after Leng Kang returned home to recognize his relatives, Chen Yueshu spent money to buy this house from the Sheng family for convenience.

The journey to Beijing is long, and traveling from Beijing to Hulu Town is not only dangerous, but also requires guards.

Therefore, the people living in this house are all the guards, servants, carriages, etc. that Chen Yueshu and her companions brought from the capital years ago.

In order to keep a low profile, they were not brought to the village before, and since the Leng family’s house was too small to accommodate them, they had no choice but to place them here.

Leng Kang arrived earlier and had already moved the things from the ox cart onto the horse carriage with the guards and packed everything up properly.

There were three carriages in total, one for carrying things, two for people, and a few horses for guards.

Following closely behind, Chen Yueshu and Leng Yan also got off the ox cart and got on the horse carriage.

"Ma'am, everything is arranged."

At this time, a middle-aged man in black clothes and with a stern face stood respectfully beside the carriage.

"Well, I always trust you to do things, but you can't take it lightly."

Chen Yueshu spoke in a soft voice and with a serious expression, and then she gave detailed instructions on some matters.

Then he turned sideways and began to introduce Leng Su and Leng Yan in order: "This is the eldest lady, this is the eldest lady, please tell the people below not to bump into them without paying attention."

(Calling her Miss Leng Su is for easy distinction, and Leng Su is indeed the only sister of Leng Kang and his siblings, and the only daughter of Mr. Leng."

Calling Leng Yan the eldest lady is also for the sake of distinction. Leng He is the second lady, and Leng Jiaren is the third lady.)

"Yes, ma'am." The man half-raised his eyes politely, his attitude becoming a little more respectful.

Chen Yueshu nodded in satisfaction, and then introduced him to Leng Su and the others: "This is the guard leader Mo Shan. You can call him Uncle Mo. Mo Shan is very skilled in martial arts. If there is any danger along the way, he can protect us."

"Hello, Uncle Mo."

Leng Su and Leng Yan nodded in response, while Chen Yueshu looked at the time and turned to Mo Shan and said, "

When the Sheng family's carriage arrives, we'll set off."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Mo Shan respectfully agreed, he went to take care of other things.

Taking advantage of this time, Leng Yan and the others said goodbye to Grandpa Leng and the others. All that needed to be said had been explained last night. At this moment, all they could say was "safe journey" and a reluctant look in their eyes, hoping for a reunion.

After a while, they saw the Sheng family's carriage approaching from afar.
