Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"Don't worry too much. After I leave, you can go to Grandma and Great Aunt. I've already told Grandma."

After that, he joked, "Auntie likes your calm personality the most. If you run around with her more and help her, you will always win her favor.

When the time comes, you can learn a thing or two from her housekeeping skills. Then you can help me keep my money box, right?"

"Yes, don't worry, girl. I will definitely learn the skills well."

With this interruption, the originally dull atmosphere dissipated by a large margin.

After dinner, Baoer handed the money box to Baoju. The things inside were half as much as when he came.

Although it is not the most important thing, there is still a lot of silver and money in it.

Baoju took the box steadily, hugged it tightly in her arms, and said nervously, "Girl, if something happens to something as valuable as this, even if you sell me off, I can't afford the compensation!"

Wenshu smiled, reached out and poked Baoju's head, and said gently: "What are you thinking, girl? There is only some silver in there. I'm not in the yard, but you can't treat the others in the yard unfairly just because I'm not here. You will not lose out on what others have."

"But..." Baoju was still a little hesitant and worried.

Seeing that she was about to refuse, he quickly interrupted her and continued, "Okay, it's not much money.

I can only ask you to help me manage these. When the time comes to distribute the money to the courtyard, you can just do it according to the usual practice. Don't worry, I believe you can do a good job."

At this time, Shaoyao on the side said, "Yes, that's right, that's right. Sister Baoju, if you don't want to take care of it, I will help you. I am good at this." After saying that, she blinked mischievously.

Shaoyao stretched her neck and when she heard Baoju refuse, she wanted to reach out and hug her.

But she didn't dare.

“What do you care…”

It’s not that Wen Shu doesn’t trust her, but this girl can’t be trusted when it comes to money.

If you have a five-zhu coin today, it will not last until tomorrow morning.

The gaps between this girl's fingers are not big, but I don't know why she doesn't accumulate wealth, but she likes wealth.

——It really makes things difficult for her.

After hearing Shaoyao's wishful thinking, Baoju, who was still a little hesitant, looked at Shaoyao's outstretched claws and all her hesitation disappeared.

He took a step back holding the box and dodged it.

……

Baoju had prepared everything for going out three days ago. Wenshu was now wearing a short shirt, and Baoju had specially sewed the cuffs a little narrower to make it easier for her to move around and do things outside.

"Jueyu..."

Wen Shu called Jueyu's name softly, and then prepared to leave with him.

"Let's go, carry this."

Wen Shu carried a bundle on her back and pointed to the tea table nearby and instructed, "Take this with you."

"Yes, lady."

Jueyu walked forward, grabbed the bag and threw it onto his back neatly.

"Okay, we're leaving. Remember to come and take good care of this yard when you have time. There are other people in the yard who also need your care. Don't let anyone bully them."

Wenshu turned around and instructed Baoju, "Starting tomorrow, don't open the gate to the courtyard anymore, lest someone come and cause trouble when I'm not around.

As for where I'm going, grandma will tell you!"

"Girl, be careful outside. I made some pancakes in my bag to fill your stomach. If you and Jueyu are hungry, just eat the pancakes. These pancakes are made by me and they are clean and can keep you full."

Baoju was particularly worried about the trivial matters in life, especially since it was the girl's first time going out, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Okay, it's getting late. We've been up all night. It will be dawn soon." She said softly.

"Don't worry, girl. I will definitely go out with you next time." Although Shaoyao stayed, she still had a desire for the girl to go out, and her thoughts were not completely dispelled.

"Okay, I'm leaving..." Wen Shu hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind to leave.

After saying that, she turned around and nodded to Jueyu.

Jueyu didn't say much and just took Wenshu's arm.

At that moment, Wen Shu felt her feet suddenly empty, and her body became light as if it had lost weight. The next moment, she had landed steadily outside the wall.

It turns out that this is Qinggong!

Although Wenshu's yard is a little further back, it is not the outermost one.

Jueyu led her all the way, sometimes jumping over the wall, sometimes climbing trees, with light and agile movements.

They shuttled through the night like two dark shadows, moving forward quietly and silently.

Wenshu and Achu left quietly without disturbing anyone.

Finally, Wen Shu looked back at the house behind her. The lights were dim and the place was quiet.

"Let's go, have they arrived?" Wen Shu asked in a low voice.

Jueyu followed behind and replied respectfully, "Miss, they are already waiting, and everything is ready."

Wenshu nodded and continued walking forward.

The moonlight was nice tonight. Although it was not a full moon, the weather was clear and there were no clouds blocking the view. The moon that was about to set was still bright enough for her to see the road ahead.

They went in the same direction as they did last time to the other side, but this time they took a different main road.

After a while, Wen Shu suddenly remembered that she had sent Jue Yu to investigate the situation before. She had been busy explaining things the whole night and had no time to ask.

"By the way, how is the situation with the investigation that Anhan asked you to investigate? Did you find anything unusual?" Wen Shu stopped and turned to look at Achu.

Ah Chu quickly replied, "My dear lady, as you thought, there is something wrong with that person."

Wen Shu frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then continued walking forward...

Jueyu thought about what he saw at the dock today and what he saw in the second lady's shop.

After taking a look, the girl running in front said, "I've been asking about that Zou guy for a long time.

He used the surname "Zou" when he was outside, and claimed to be a businessman who came to Anhan to sell silk and brocade.

But in reality, it was just a cover, mostly selling grain and iron."

Wenshu was in front, listening quietly, and there was nothing unusual.

But she felt uneasy in her heart, as she knew that this fertile land had been coveted by someone. Li Xiong had just taken over Zi Tong not long ago and had no energy to take care of these things.

Before I had time to deal with these things, I gave these people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

……

"Then do you know which force this person surnamed 'Zou' belongs to?" Wen Shu asked.

"Miss, it was just a coincidence this time, and I happened to see him having a secret meeting with the second wife's family." Jueyu answered truthfully.

"Really..." Wen Shu's heart sank. As expected, her guess was confirmed.

"It seems that there is a rat in this house!" She sneered in her heart.

She didn't know what their conspiracy was. However, now that she knew about it, she wouldn't allow them to succeed.

Thinking of this, Wenshu's eyes became firm.
