In addition, the world is unstable now, and rebels have appeared in Yangzhou. God knows what incidents will happen along the way.

Hearing the news that Lin Daiyu arrived safely in the capital, he felt relieved.

This is of course the love that a grandmother has for her granddaughter, but more importantly, it is only seen by a few people in the Rongguo Mansion.

Then, Jia Mu said to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang beside her,

"First Madam, Second Madam, you two should go and arrange for food and lodging immediately. When the guests arrive, you must not let my poor granddaughter feel alienated."

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang both stood up, bowed slightly, and said with a smile,

"Yes, please rest assured, old lady! It's up to your daughter-in-law!"

Grandmother Jia nodded slightly, looked around again, and found that there was one person missing. She asked in confusion,

"Where is Feng'er? Why can't I see her?"

Before Mrs. Xing could speak, Mrs. Wang bowed slightly and said with a smile,

"Old Madam, you don't know that since getting up this morning, Miss Feng has been personally making arrangements in Hibiscus Courtyard with her maids and servants! I guess she's still busy there now!"

Upon hearing this, Jia's mother nodded with great satisfaction and said to Mrs. Wang with a smile,

"Okay! Okay!"

Then he said to Xichun and the others,

"You girls, please don't be too rude later. This is your cousin's first time here, and it's a rare family reunion."

Yingchun and Tanchun all nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, old lady!"

"Ok!"

Grandmother Jia smiled and nodded.

At this time, Jia Baoyu, who was sitting next to Jia's mother, was pulling her arm.

"Grandma, what should your grandson do later? In order to welcome my cousin today, I even declined the appointment with the Prince of Dongping to go to Dajue Temple outside the city to pay my respects!"

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Baoyu with a smile and touched his head lovingly.

Mrs. Wang shook her head and scolded him lightly.

"You, please don't be naughty later and don't scare your cousin!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu pouted in dissatisfaction and shook Grandmother Jia's arm.

"Madam, what are you talking about? How can the child be as bad as you say?"

All of a sudden all the young ladies, wives, maids and old women in the hall burst into laughter.

After laughing, Jia Mu said to Mrs. Wang.

"Well, Baoyu is still young, why does he need your guidance?"

Mrs. Wang glared at her smug-looking son who was sitting next to Lady Jia, and squatted slightly towards Lady Jia.

"Yes, old lady, your daughter-in-law has noted it down."

As the sun gradually rose higher in the sky, the docks outside the city of Shenjing were placed under martial law by soldiers from the Beijing Camp holding spears.

Countless traveling merchants who were planning to use the pier to travel were blocked by armored soldiers outside the pier and were not allowed to get close.

One after another, large cargo ships with deep drafts took turns unloading large boxes with heavy seals from the Yangzhou Salt Administration Office at the dock.

As all the boxes on the last cargo ship in the fleet were unloaded and loaded onto the carriages.

A guard trotted quickly to the edge of the dock under an umbrella and knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to Supervisor Xia, all the boxes have been unloaded!"

Xia Shouzhong, who was sitting under a big umbrella with the respectful Dai Quan, put down the teacup in his hand and waved lightly.

The guard nodded and bowed very discerningly, then left quickly.

Xia Shouzhong stood up and said calmly to Dai Quan, who also stood up respectfully,

"Okay, forget about this errand for our family. I'll take my leave now!"

Dai Quan smiled and said respectfully,

"I respectfully send off Chief Steward Xia!"

From the beginning to the end, the two most trusted eunuchs of two generations of emperors only greeted each other at the beginning of their meeting and at this moment.

Other times, there was no communication at all.

Hearing Dai Quan's address, Xia Shouzhong was slightly stunned, glanced at Dai Quan, and then raised the corner of his mouth.

She pinched her fingers and waved them.

"go!"

He stepped out and left with several young eunuchs serving him.

"Farewell, Chief Steward Xia!"
