Wu Yong listened to the scholar's report, nodded and said, "Good job, it seems that you don't need me to look at you in the future, you can handle it very well." There must be no credit for Huang Guan, Wu Yong asked: "When did Huang Guan leave?"

The scholar was a little embarrassed to be praised by Wu Yong like this, and when he heard Wu Yong mention Huang Guan, he temporarily restrained his shy appearance: "You left when you were out to check the accounts, he was going to wait for you to come back before leaving, but then he couldn't wait, so he left first, and he said that he would come over next year." "The scholar is also very accustomed to the existence of Huang Guan, and now he almost regards Huang Guan as a member of the school.

Wu Yong: "Oh, I hope he didn't encounter heavy snow on the road." ”

Scholar: "When I wrote to him before, he said that he, like you, started to snow when he got home, and you haven't been in contact with him during this time?"

Wu Yong: "Before I have time, I'll write a letter later." ”

The scholar didn't interfere with what Wu Yong did, and looked at the time: "You can rest early, we have to go out tomorrow after all." ”

Wu Yong nodded, and put away the bamboo slips sent by the scholar, in order to facilitate preservation, the scholar still preferred the bamboo slips.

After Wu Yong sent the scholar away, he began to ponder the two letters to Huang Guan and Zhao Ji, first wrote the more serious letter of complaint to Zhao Ji, and then slowly wrote the letter to Huang Guan, mainly asking about his safety on the road, and the current situation in the capital, and the tone was more relaxed.

On the second day, Wu Yong handed over the two letters to Jia Yi and asked him to help deliver them, while he followed Ruan's second sister-in-law and the scholar down the mountain to purchase.

Although it has just experienced a heavy snowfall, the New Year still has to be celebrated, and even because it has just experienced such a disaster, people must have a good New Year, so as to take bad luck.

There are still quite a few people shopping on the street, most of them are women, of course, the wives of some large families will not do this kind of thing personally, and the characters like the free housekeeper help to manage it.

Wu Yong followed behind Ruan's second sister-in-law, squeezing around in the lively crowd, Wu Yong felt the surging crowd for the first time in this era, and he was still carrying the things handed over by Ruan's second sister-in-law, she had a small amount here, and the scholar's hands were already full of things.

Ruan's second sister-in-law is still discussing with the stall owner to order dozens of chickens and ducks, and even booked a few live pigs, and when the time comes, they will be directly sent to the mountain to be slaughtered by themselves.

Wu Yong muttered to the scholar with a little worry: "We can't eat all these things, right?"

The scholar didn't know: "Don't worry, Ruan's second sister-in-law will always have a way." Although it is Leader Zhu who is in charge of finances, this kind of detail is handled by Ruan's second sister-in-law, and the scholar has a kind of blind confidence in Ruan's second sister-in-law.

Wu Yong also knew that he was not good at this area, and he didn't say much, he was only responsible for carrying things and following slowly, and after a whole day, Wu Yong felt that he was about to lose it, and sure enough, shopping was the most tiring thing no matter what time it was.

Only Ruan's second sister-in-law was still energetically calculating which ones to be sent directly to the nursing home and which ones to be sent to the mountain.

Wu Yong and the scholar were about to fall asleep in her babbling words.

Ruan's second sister-in-law looked at the two of them funny: "Okay, I won't say anything, let's go eat something and go back." ”

Wu Yong and the scholar breathed a sigh of relief, Ruan's second sister-in-law did not take them to a very famous restaurant, but found a noodle shop that was some years old: "I have been eating his noodles since I was a child, and they are still open now, the taste is indeed very good, just take you to taste it." ”

Ruan's second sister-in-law was familiar with the stall owner and his wife, and introduced the signboard to Wu Yong.

Wu Yong chose his favorite flavor according to Ruan's second sister-in-law's recommendation, and the scholar chose the same as Ruan's second sister-in-law.

Ruan's second sister-in-law poured a cup of tea for Wu Yong with the cup on the table: "This is all homemade by them, don't worry about it, it's good for your body." "This tea is hot and has a medicinal taste, and some passing merchants will come to ask for this bowl of tea.

Wu Yong was a little surprised by the current situation of this shop: "How did they keep these secret recipes?"

Ruan's second sister-in-law: "I heard that their son is an official in the court, and he has always wanted to take them over to enjoy happiness, but it's a pity that the old couple is used to working hard, so they have been guarding this stall, and the nearby businesses are all opened with them, and they are very clear about the background of his family, and they will help explain when there are newcomers, so they have been safe and sound until now." ”

Wu Yong thought silently, sure enough, sometimes it is necessary to collude with officials and businessmen.

However, Wu Yong doesn't mind much about this model, and it is appropriate to follow the local customs.

After the noodles they ordered, Wu Yong planned to eat them, and Ruan's second sister-in-law instructed her: "When you come to her house to eat noodles, you must drink soup first, and his soup is also a must, and then eat noodles." ”

Wu Yong tasted it, and he didn't think it was very delicious, but he just felt comfortable to drink, and he thought about what herbs had been added to it.

The three of them settled dinner, and when they left, Ruan's second sister-in-law asked for something with the stall owner and his wife, and Wu Yong asked after they left the stall: "What do you want?"

Ruan's second sister-in-law: "It's the little chaos they wrapped themselves, and it's delicious to cook it by themselves when the time comes, recently the little monkey kid doesn't like to eat breakfast, this is prepared for them, of course, if you come to eat, it's enough." ”

Wu Yong was concerned: "What's the matter, are the little monkeys uncomfortable?

Ruan's second sister-in-law: "No, they just don't like to move after the holiday, and they don't digest well, so I'll let them move more from tomorrow." ”

Wu Yong knew that this kind of thing was also possible, so he planned to observe it first, and if it was still not good, he would definitely ask the doctor to go up the mountain.

When Wu Yong was busy on their side, Huang Guan and Zhao Ji also received a letter from Wu Yong.

Zhao Ji had already known through Fu Bo what Wu Yong had done, and he didn't care about her complaining in the letter, even if the treasury was a little tight now, he still made up for the silver that Wu Yong used before and asked him to send it over in person.

Tong Guan was a little helpless: "Official, you don't have to be so sincere, Wu Junshi, she's just joking with you, she has a lot of income." ”

Zhao Ji: "Even so, I can't just ignore the efforts of others, otherwise who else will want to do this in the future." "Zhao Ji can also be regarded as a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, and the purpose is not Wu Yong, but those potential merchants who can help the imperial court.

Tong Guan listened to Zhao Ji's explanation, but he didn't say anything more.
