The next morning, Zhou Chang got up early on purpose.

After breakfast, he was about to call the servants of the Yuan Mansion to open the warehouse, move things, and replace the goods ordered by the customers in the study of Yuan Yu and Yuan Qi.

A servant came over and reported: "Uncle He, the eldest lady wants to see you."

Zhou Chang didn't know what was going on, so he hurried to the East Courtyard where Yuan Qi was.

"Uncle He, the eldest lady is in the master's study." The servant led the way.

I thought Yuan Qi would rest in the room, but unexpectedly he went to Yuan Yu's study, turned around and went to the main courtyard.

As soon as I entered Yuanyu's study, the viewpoint system made a series of "ding, ding, ding..." orders.

Zhou Chang just pretended not to hear.

Yuan Qi sat on a bed next to the desk where Yuan Yu usually sat, in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Uncle He, send someone to pick up Yuan Jie."

"Miss, what are you doing..." Zhou Chang understood what he meant before he even finished speaking.

Yuan Qi was Yuan Yu's only legitimate daughter. Unfortunately, after giving birth to a daughter, Yuan's wife Shi had been weak and unable to have another child. Yuan Yu had a deep relationship with his wife and was a devout Buddhist. He always felt that the Yuan family had been engaged in business for generations, and that his generation had reached the top. It was not known whether the prosperity of his wealth had led to a loss of offspring, so he donated to repair temples and did good deeds, and did not force himself on having offspring.

However, two years before Mrs. Yuan's death, she finally gave her maid who came with her as a dowry to Yuan Yu as his wife.

Yuan Jie was born to the concubine Li, and is Yuan Qi's half-brother. He is only twelve years old this year, and has been studying in the Yuan family's old house in Danlu City.

"Let him come." Yuan Qi repeated again, took out a written letter from his side and handed it to Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang took it with both hands and agreed: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Yuan Qi seemed to think about it again, and added quietly: "Let's bring Aunt Li here as well."

"Yes, I'll follow your instructions, Miss." Zhou Chang sighed in his heart.

According to He Xi's memory, he had never seen this aunt either.

After Li gave birth to Yuan Jie, she entrusted him to be raised under the name of Madam Yuan. Although he was not a legitimate son, he was Yuan Yu's only son.

Li was personally selected by Madam Yuan. She was honest and loyal. After giving birth to a son, she became his concubine without fighting or competing. Later, Madam Yuan died, and Yuan Yu did not want to remarry, so he simply let Li take care of the inner court.

Therefore, although Yuan Qi and Yuan Jie are ten years apart in age, they grew up together and have a very close relationship as siblings, and Yuan Qi also values ​​Li more.

After receiving the instructions, Zhou Chang advised Yuan Qi not to think too much and to take care of herself. She was still thinking of other ways, but Yuan Qi still looked listless.

He said nothing more and left.

Zhou Chang turned around and told someone to find the escort Wu Hong, and then he took his servants and rushed to the warehouse.

"Let me make it clear in advance that I will only complete orders and will not accept any goods. You must temporarily close the order-taking system." Zhou Chang stood at the door of the huge warehouse in Yuan Mansion and spoke to the system in his mind.

There has to be a limit to making money, and she doesn't want to take too much from the Yuan family.

The Viewpoint system said: "This system is not authorized and cannot close the order-taking function."

"Then think of a solution, otherwise I will keep leaving those more than a hundred orders hanging." Zhou Chang was also gradually figuring out the temper of the ghost system.

The viewpoint system didn't even need to think about it for a second: "For goods that you don't want customers to place orders for, you can wrap them in black cloth in advance."

"Black cloth is unlucky, as if someone has died. How about red cloth?" Zhou Chang didn't know if he was influenced by the memory of congratulations, but he also started to be particular about it.

"Yes, but the red color requires additional data processing on our system's side." The viewpoint system replied.

"That's good." Zhou Chang didn't care what it did.

Next, he ordered the servants to go to Yuan's silk shop, get some red silk cloth, and cut it into nearly a hundred pieces of various sizes on the spot.

This way, it seemed more like she really wanted to change the feng shui formation, and no one had any doubts at all.

After witnessing Yuan Qi’s generosity yesterday and checking He Xi’s memory, she no longer thought that bringing some goods from the Yuan family through live streaming was a big deal.

Zhou Chang entered the storehouse holding a pile of red silk cloth in his hands. He did not look closely but threw the red silk cloth on any ornaments he saw. Then he asked the servants following him to wrap them up and put them into a large wooden box prepared in advance.

In this way, it didn't take much effort to select and pack dozens of pieces of porcelain and jade.

Just after picking out more than twice the amount of furnishings ordered by the system from the warehouse and installing them, a servant came over to report that Wu Hong had arrived.

Zhou Chang first asked someone to move the wooden boxes to Yuan Yu and Yuan Qi's study rooms respectively, and then asked someone to take Wu Hong to the courtyard where He Xi lived.

She had just entered the study where He Xi worked when Wu Hong arrived.

Wu Hong was wearing a long grey cloth gown and a thick black leather belt around his waist. He was the same Wu who had helped to stop the stuttering clerk from being detained in the temporary detention room of the City Defense Department that day.

The Yuan family's bodyguards are more like bodyguards than bodyguards.

This is because the Yuan family's business is spread all over the world, with trade between the north and south, east and west, so it is impossible that they do not have capable people to escort it.

After a while, he developed his own escort team.

It's just that the Yuan family's bodyguards are overwhelmed by the freight business of the Yuan family and the merchant families that cooperate with the Yuan family, so they never accept orders from outside.

So, on a daily basis, they are more of the guards of the Yuan family, guarding both people and goods.

Zhou Chang asked Wu Hong to sit down and said directly: "The young master has ordered to bring the young master and Li Yi Niang from Danlu's hometown. It just so happens that you escorts are in Jindu and have rested for a while, so go now."

"Yes." Wu Hong agreed without hesitation, bowing slightly in his seat, and then asked, "How many people does the chief steward plan to send?"

Zhou Chang hesitated and said, "Your chief escort has just been released from the Ministry of Justice. He has suffered a lot in there. We will not send him this time. The young master trusts you, but how many people do you think are suitable?"

Zhou Chang didn't know whether the young master could be trusted, but she wanted to employ this man and his team specifically.

Wu Hong thought for a moment and said, "To be safe, twenty people should be enough."

"I'll give you forty men," Zhou Chang said, counting on his fingers. "According to my calculations, the weather south of Peishui is changeable in early spring, so the young master can't make any mistakes."

"Yes, thank you, General Manager." People like Wu Hong were probably used to congratulating others by counting on their fingers when speaking, and they didn't show any strange expression.

"Okay, I calculated that tomorrow will be a good time to go out. You should go quickly and come back quickly. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the way." Zhou Chang continued to give instructions in the style of congratulating the general manager, and at the same time handed Yuan Qi's letter to Wu Hong, "This is the young master's handwritten letter. You have to take the letter with you to bring the person back."

"Yes." Wu Hong stood up and took it with both hands. He glanced at the sealed cover and carefully put it in his arms. He did not sit back but bowed to say goodbye. "If the chief steward has no other instructions, I will prepare it and leave for Danlu tomorrow."

"Come on." Zhou Chang leaned back in the chair behind the desk, pressed down with both hands, and motioned Wu Hong to sit down. "I still have something to say."

After Yuan Qi finished his important work, she also wanted to do her own thing.

It's really the law of nature, as if it were God's help.

Unexpectedly, the old man who originally disliked He Xi could help her get back at her. "To go all out for happiness is to devote everything to the present moment without reservation."
