Beigou Village received several letters in a row. At first, they were happy that Shen Huai was about to be transferred back to the capital, and then they saw Shen Chi’s business philosophy and the banknotes in the letter.

Huang Ruyue immediately became worried. Whether it was buying a donkey or buying fish, a lot of money was needed. Where would Chi Er get so much money?

She took the initiative to mention: "Sister-in-law, these two father and daughter have the same temperament, they say whatever they want.

And when I said this, 90% of the raindrops had already fallen. I wanted to go to the provincial capital in person and send some donkeys to Beijing with my father.

The number won't be large. After all, it's already the twelfth lunar month, and it's too late to go to Hejian to buy donkeys. If I buy them in Shunxian, even if business is not good when I go to Beijing, I won't lose money."

Hu pondered for a moment. She knew Shen Chi had always had many tricks up his sleeve. She said, "Second brother really needs someone to keep him under control."

"Mom, let me ask who is willing to go to Beijing.

Then, we should mobilize the clan to buy two carts of mountain products from people who have them, and then send Second Aunt to Beijing." Shen Xianzhu agreed with his uncle's idea. Since his family earned less, it would be a good thing to provide some income for the neighbors before the New Year.

He turned around and said to his second sister Shen Lingzhu, who was still reading the letter over and over again, "You need to make more sausages this year. I'll send the ones I made before to Beijing first, okay?"

Shen Miaozhu pretended to reply, "Brother, I will bring a few capable brothers to Beijing. You stay home to receive guests for uncle."

Things are different now. As soon as my uncle became an official again, people often come to visit him.

The news that my uncle will be transferred back to Beijing will surely be known to all parts of Baozhou through the official bulletin, so it is only right for my eldest brother to stay at home and support him.

"But..." Shen Xianzhu took back his words without saying anything. His sister was different from others.

Shen Miaozhu continued, "The criminals have all been brought to justice, and my uncle's career is going smoothly. I can also find a few cousins ​​to escort him.

Instead of making sausages and the like in Beigou and sending them to the capital, it would be better to have people make them in the capital.

Dad has also finished setting up the shop, so it’s just in time for use.”

"It's good for Miaozhu to go to Beijing, but when you brothers and sisters ask who is willing to go, you must tell them that they can't go home for the New Year. Don't force them if they don't want to go." Hu thought that her brother and sister-in-law's family of four did not reunite for the New Year last year, and they cannot be separated again this year.

Shen Miaozhu and her brother answered in unison: "Yes."

They immediately divided the work and started to work. While collecting mountain products in the village, they also asked their uncle Huang Zongqi to ask someone to buy a donkey.

The day before departure, Huang Zongqi wanted to personally send them to Beijing. Even though his sister told him to stay at home to take care of his wife, he was determined to go.

Shen Miaozhu advised: "Uncle doesn't believe that my mother and I can find the gate of the capital, but he also doesn't believe in my two cousins?

Moreover, I am accompanied by my senior brothers and sisters from the Seven Stars Temple, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts."

This time it was not her who went to invite them, but the senior brothers and sisters from the Qixing Temple were going to Beijing to prepare for the exam, and the Taoist priests were also going to take part in the professional exam of the Daoluo Division, so they had to go to Beijing to prepare for the exam.

Huang Zongqi laughed out loud: "Don't laugh, uncle. I went to Beijing to braise meat for your grandfather so that he can come back for the New Year."

He was afraid that his brother-in-law would act too radically in the capital and make his father angry.

"Dad hasn't been home for several months. It's time for him to have some rest." Huang Ruyue felt very embarrassed.

Even though my mother's family owns shares in two food stores, I know how hard it is to be a chef.

"How about letting grandma take my cousin with us, and leaving my uncle and aunt to celebrate the New Year alone?" Shen Miaozhu blurted out another suggestion.

Huang Ruyue heard a few coughs and reached out to put the eldest girl's tea bowl into her hand: "Drink your tea."

But Huang Zongqi was somewhat tempted. Over the past year, he had been traveling frequently between the county and the provincial capital, and many family matters had fallen on his wife's shoulders. "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Shen Miaozhu and Huang Ruyue looked at each other and said: See, uncle is very moved.

Huang Ruyue glared at her unhappily, and then advised her elder brother to accept this suggestion.

Huang Zongqi, who was already tempted, nodded reluctantly and said he would go back and discuss it with his mother.

The result of this discussion was that the cousin's laughing voice could be heard from time to time in the Shen family's carriage heading to the provincial capital.

The grandfather in the provincial capital also felt that there was business to be done in the capital, so when they arrived, he and Uncle Nine Shen Xiao were still out collecting donkeys.

Shen Miaozhu decided to stay in the city for two more days, and during this stay, she waited for the arrival of the third master and third wife of the Xue family.

They also brought a lot of gifts. Huang Ruyue was not familiar with them, so Shen He was supposed to receive them. However, Mr. Xue Sanye specifically wanted to meet Shen Miaozhu.

Shen Miaozhu thought it was a New Year gift, and said embarrassedly that she was not there to pick up the people in the store back to Beigou, but to go to Beijing.

Third Master Xue smiled and said, "It's not a New Year gift, it's a gift for you."

"Third cousin is too polite, the capital is not far away.

We are deeply grateful for your special trip to deliver it, but I dare not accept too much as I have done nothing for it." Shen Miaozhu decisively took out two ten-liang silver ingots from the gift boxes.

Shen He couldn't help but nod secretly. He guessed that cousin Xue had already known the news that his fifth brother had been transferred back to Beijing, so he came here specially.

He also specifically asked for Miaozhu, presumably because he had already found out about all the family accounts and business affairs, all of which were managed by Miaozhu, and her words carried a lot of weight in the family.

Mr. Xue San also sighed inwardly, thinking that his family had not been considerate enough in the past, and the relationship still needed to be repaired step by step.

His daughter married the son of a vassal king far away, which saved her elder brother but she could not get an official position for herself.

So they chatted for a bit, and he didn't beat around the bush. "I just wrote to Wu Huai a few days ago. While I was waiting for his reply, I heard an official passing by mention that he was about to be transferred back to the capital."

Are you here to deliver a message? Shen Miaozhu said, "We just received the news from Dad in Beijing."

"Is your father in the capital?" Mr. Xue regretted the moment he asked.

Shen Miaozhu nodded: "I want to open a shop in Beijing next year. He will go and look for a suitable place."

Mr. Xue San naturally wouldn't believe it completely. The Shen family might have heard the news of cousin Huai's transfer a long time ago.

So, the conversation didn't last long, and he said goodbye to his wife on the other side and left.

As soon as his Taiyi got into the carriage, he said, "Mrs. Huang knows nothing. She doesn't know when my fifth cousin will come back or what position he has been transferred to.

Master, we will send some things to Beigou tomorrow. Can your cousin really help you?"

"I don't know." He was thinking that it might not be convenient to send his New Year gift to his cousin Huai's house, so he should send it to his aunt.

On this side, Shen He frowned: "The Xue family's people go forward when they are needed, and go back when they are not needed.

Every time I see their family now, I feel uncomfortable for a long time."

Shen Miaozhu didn't care: "He's just a relative. I'm afraid we won't be around for another two generations.

Let’s not talk about them. Uncle Qi, after Grandpa came to Beijing with us, when are you planning to close the shop this year?”

"Chang'an and Xunzhi's cooking skills have improved a lot. I think we can close the shop a few days later this year." Shen He said, then thought of something else and asked:

"Miaozhu, who are you planning to let go to the new shop in the capital?"
