The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 504

[Chapter 504 Preparations before departure]

In the next three days, the auction will proceed as usual.

In addition to the high price of 8,000 taels on the first day of the house auction, there were three other houses that also sold for more than 8,000 taels, and most of the others were sold at twice the original price.

Counting the 8,000 taels of silver on the first day, Fang Xiu had nearly 200,000 taels of silver in Baolefang in just four days.

There is still the last day left, and the largest number of houses are auctioned on this day. According to an estimate, the value of the houses is at least 150,000 taels.

According to the original selling price, the house that was only worth 300,000 taels at most actually sold an extra 50,000 taels of silver notes.

It has to be said that the role of auction is still very significant.

Of course, Fang Xiu had no chance to visit the auction on this day.

The reason is simple. The imperial decree has been conveyed to Fang Mansion.

Xin’an Bo Fangxiu led the Central Plains Road envoy to inspect the three Central Plains Roads, and set off today to meet the rebel Mu Ying.

They said they were leaving today, but they had actually been preparing for three days.

Carriages for travel, items that may be used on the road, blankets and stoves for heating, books for when you are bored, and some fruits and snacks should all be prepared.

In addition, there are accompanying people.

Bai Xiaochun naturally wanted to follow.

Such a considerate bitch, without him around, I always feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, although Bai Xiaochun is not a first-rate master, his strength can barely reach a quasi-first-rate level. He is considered the pinnacle among second-rate masters. When necessary, he can block some unexpected situations, such as assassinations.

Of course, this situation is extremely The big possibility is that it won’t happen. The reason is very simple. In addition to the people from Fang Mansion, there is also a group of guards who are pro-Jun Mansion following Fang Xiu.

This guard was carefully selected from the Shenji Battalion, and everyone has sufficient strength and absolute loyalty.

There are twenty people in total, enough to deal with most enemies.

A well-armed elite army, not to mention the bandits of the three Central Plains who can only bully the people, even the barbarians in the grassland may not be able to defeat it.

On this day, the capital, which had been gloomy for several days, was rarely sunny and sunny.

It was just dawning, and a ray of sunlight pierced the darkness and shone on Fang Xiu’s face through the dim window.

At this time, a crisp and familiar voice came from outside the door.

“Master, it’s time for you to wake up.”

Xiu’er stood outside early, holding a basin of warm water and called out loudly.

Fang Xiu heard the voice in a hazy state, slowly opened his eyes, and said somewhat confusedly: “Okay.”

Everything was no different from before, washing up and changing clothes.

Fang Xiu stretched his body and was about to ask Xiu’er what he had eaten this morning.

But seeing Xiu’er’s eyes a little red, she suddenly felt a little distressed and asked: “What’s wrong? Who bullied you? Tell the young master, and the young master will help you teach him a lesson!”

Xiu’er shook her head gently when she heard this. , said: “No one bullies slaves.”

“Then why are you crying?”

Fang Xiu was a little confused.

Xiu’er lowered her head and whispered: “Master, can I go to the Central Plains Road with you?”

Xiu’er has been by Fang Xiu’s side since his wife left the capital.

When she suddenly heard that the young master was leaving the capital and that she could not be with him, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Like a cat abandoned on the roadside.

When she thought about not being able to see the young master for more than a month, her nose couldn’t help but feel sore and her eyes could not help but turn red.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he immediately understood what was going on and felt even more distressed.

To be fair, as a little maid, Xiu’er has done her best in his opinion.

I was hungry, so snacks were served immediately.

I’m thirsty, and the best Longjing tea is already brewing in my teacup.

It was cold, and soon the fox fur was wrapped around my body.

Xiuer takes very good care of herself.

She was said to be a servant, a little maid, but in fact her status in Fang Xiu’s heart had already exceeded this scope.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Xiu was unwilling to take her with him during his inspection of the Third Road in the Central Plains.

Not to mention the long journey and the many hardships and obstacles that may be encountered on the way, let’s just say that the pain of displacement is not something a delicate girl can bear.

Fang Xiu looked at her, with a rare gentle smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and comforted her softly: “It’s not that the young master doesn’t want to take you with me, it’s just that the journey is really far, so there may not be any accidents.

Moreover, Even if there is a carriage, you will still have to work hard.

As a girl, you should stay at home obediently. Otherwise, if something happens, I won’t be able to regret it.”

When Xiu’er heard this, she raised her eyes with a pair of watery eyes. Looking at his young master with big eyes, he said firmly: “I am not afraid of hard work. As long as I can stay with the young master, I am not afraid of any hard work!”

Fang Xiu reached out and touched her little head and said with a smile: “It’s not that you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of hard work. It’s young master and I’m afraid of hard work for you.

Don’t worry, this young master will definitely return home safely within a month, no more than a month and a half at most. As agreed between us at that time, okay? “

Xiu’er heard what he said and understood in her heart that the young master was doing it for her own good.

Moreover, listening to the meaning of the young master’s words, it was impossible for her to take herself with her on this trip.

As a qualified little maid, Xiu’er Naturally, Er understood the principle of “not being arrogant because of being favored”, so she did not continue to struggle with this issue.

She nodded gently and said firmly: “Okay, I will listen to the young master!

After a pause, as if he remembered something, he asked: “Master, what are you going to eat this morning?

“

“

When Fang Xiu heard this, he thought for a while and said, “Just cook a bowl of porridge. Shenji camp has been preparing for a long time, so it’s better not to make them wait any longer. “

That’s what I said, but actually I wanted to leave early, so as not to have to deal with Zhao Yan who was too late.

“Yes, young master, I will make porridge for you right now,”

Xiu’er responded, turned around and left. After

a while, a steaming bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus porridge was brought to the table.

After

many improvements by Xiu’er and Zhao Hao, ‘Fangfu sweet-scented osmanthus porridge’ has become a signature of Mingdong Jingshi. I feel a sense of comfort when I smell it.

The fragrance cannot be described in words. Even

Fang Xiu, who has tasted countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, is convinced by this bowl of porridge.

“You didn’t get a bowl for yourself?” “

Fang Xiu looked at the porridge and asked.

Xiu’er shook her head and said softly: “I have already drank it before.”

Fang Xiu nodded, picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus porridge, and drank two mouthfuls of it like a jujube.

It was just cooked .

The sweet-scented osmanthus porridge, even in the cold winter, was already emitting steaming heat.

Fang Xiu took two sips and decided to chew it slowly .

He drank a few more sips, raised his eyes, looked at Xiu’er, and asked: ” Didn’t Her Highness the Princess come this morning?
