Chapter 15 Arrangement 3
Jing Qiurong: "Housekeeper, you have to take this. Don't bargain at this time. Just buy as much as you can. If the silver is not enough, there is more at home."
My daughter had thought of everything, and the only thing she could do was to pay the money and take care of the logistics.
She had already looked at it with Chu Chunxi in the carriage. There were not many banknotes and valuables in the wooden box her mother gave her. Instead, half of it was filled with Jing family heirlooms and some correspondence.
"Don't worry, Miss. Third Master has asked this old servant to carry all the banknotes from the front yard's accounting office with him." Butler Jing patted his bulging waist and said, "Wait for me to go out and arrange these matters, then come back to settle them properly and hand them over to Miss." The butler reported to the young lady respectfully, fearing that she would be suspicious or not understand.
"No need. Since it was arranged by the Third Master, the chief steward can take it. He will still be in charge of the affairs in the future. The rules will still follow the previous ones. Just show me the account book every month."
Hearing the eldest lady's trust in him, the butler's eyes welled with tears. He bowed to Jing Qiurong again in gratitude before leaving. The eldest lady had always been in charge of the household affairs in the Marquis's mansion, and she must have many capable people under her. He had already prepared himself mentally for the handover, but he didn't expect the eldest lady to trust him so much.
Chu Chunxi muttered to himself: No wonder I didn’t find any banknotes in the front yard. It turns out that my third uncle had already made arrangements. It was worth their while to rush over here early in the morning to report the news. The number one scholar is the number one scholar. He is not a bookworm and has a clear mind.
The tension that she hadn't expressed in her heart relaxed a little. With her third uncle's arrangements and so much help, she thought that her circumstances in this life would definitely not follow the trajectory of her previous life, and the chance to turn things around should come sooner than she expected.
"Guard Cao, you guys will also stay in Beijing from now on to protect my mother and my brother, as well as all the Jing family children who remain in Qingshan Villa."
Seeing Guard Cao nod, Chu Chunxi turned to Zhou Wei and said, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Cao still has too few people. I'd like to trouble you to assign some skilled soldiers to him. It would be best if they are good at martial arts and can farm."
Good martial arts skills can protect people, and being able to farm can help one avoid being seen. Children must learn martial arts and farming in the future, so as not to raise naughty children and weak scholars who don’t know the difference between grains and are lazy. After all, the future honor and prosperity of the family depends on them. They must be trained to have the habit of enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, and to shoulder the responsibility of reviving the family.
Zhou Wei nodded. In fact, he thought so too. Except for those who could not take care of themselves, the brothers in Langya Village had already transformed into honest and hardworking farmers in recent years, which just gave them a place to use their talents.
Guard Cao now faced his cousin directly. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'm afraid that Steward Jing will need a few of us to escort him back to the house, to avoid any problems along the way."
Yes, it is very important to pick up the children, and there is no room for any mistakes. Otherwise, one wrong step may lead to another, and the Jing family cannot suffer a greater blow at this time.
Jing Qiurong and Chu Chunxi both nodded. It turned out that there was strength in numbers. They had thought of things that they had not thought of.
Every time someone went out, Frosting would close the door again and continue to be the doorkeeper.
"The place of exile is Yamen Fishing Village in Yazhou County in Lingnan. Besides needing someone to accompany us along the way, Uncle Zhou would like to ask someone to find out the key places along the way that are prone to accidents in advance. It would be best to secretly arrange for someone to meet us, just in case."
Even the exiled village was known so clearly. Jing Qiurong couldn't close her mouth. The fairy aunt was really powerful. Zhou Wei was also surprised, but he just thought that the Marquis' Mansion was well-informed.
"We still have to arrange for someone to go to Yamen Fishing Village in advance. It would be best if someone who is used to being there with my grandparents would be there to wait."
Chu Chunxi had thought about the fact that her grandparents were old and frail, so it would be best if they could be cared for by someone they knew well. She had just noticed that the maids who usually served her grandmother were all there.
Zhou Wei and Jing Qiurong both nodded. Chu Chunxi had thought this through very thoughtfully. The journey was hard enough. It would be a huge blow to survive to reach there but not even have a bed to sleep in. The main thing was that they didn't lack a few people to play as forwards, so why not let her grandparents and herself have a good sleep there.
Chu Chunxi turned to her mother and said, "Mother, I've thought about it. Let's have Hongfen, who is by my daughter's side, and Nanny Wang, who is by my grandmother's side, dress up as mother and daughter, and then take two personal maids with them. Are there any people from my grandfather's side among the people outside? You will have to arrange this. Uncle Zhou will also arrange a few trustworthy people who are good at driving carriages and horses. It would be best if we can go there in advance so that my grandfather and grandmother can stay as soon as they arrive."
Zhou Wei: "The Third Master must have discussed the same thing with the eldest daughter and the cousin, so the arrangements they made coincided. Now it's just an extra maid by the cousin's side, which is not a problem." After thinking this, he nodded without saying anything.
Even so, he felt that this cousin was extremely intelligent. At such a young age, she could repeat everything her uncle said word for word. She was one in a million among children. Even the eldest daughter probably didn't have such a good memory.
To allay their concerns, Zhou Wei explained what he had discussed with the Third Young Master, saying, "I have already arranged for someone to gather intelligence and pass on information in the capital. In addition to this house, we also have two other unassuming houses, both of which are very low-key residential buildings, with deputies specifically responsible for them.
Zhou Wei personally arranged and accompanied the general all the way, but he couldn't follow him openly. He could only appear in other identities or hide in the dark to protect the general all the way."
"I wonder if there is anyone in Langya Manor who understands medical principles?" Jing Chunxi asked again.
Zhou Wei's gaze was completely captivated by his cousin, and he dared not neglect the questions he posed. His cousin had also anticipated things that he and the Third Master hadn't anticipated. She was truly a rare and intelligent woman in the capital. "There's a lame man. He's not exactly a military doctor, but he's quite capable. He was an apprentice to a military doctor in his early years in the northern border. In recent years, he's been the one who's been treating anyone in the village who has a headache, a fever, or even a broken heart. There's rarely any need for outside doctors."
"Then please, Uncle Zhou, send someone to fetch him right away and have him go into exile with me and my grandfather tomorrow."
"Miss Cousin is going into exile? Absolutely not!"
