63. The Iron Mine Outside Mingwu City
Only later did Shen Yang understand what he meant.
In fact, there is nothing special in Gaofu. Shen Yang's working hours have only increased, and sometimes the eldest lady will come over to sit there.
Chat with Shen Yang for a while, she is a very serious looking woman.
But when facing Shen Yang, he occasionally showed his gentle side. Gao Tiankuo often went out to discuss business.
He now concentrates all his properties around Mingwu City, but it is inevitable that he will have to go out for a few days.
When I came back, I would bring gifts to several ladies, including Shen Yang and Xie Yanchuan once. After that time, Shen Yang and Xie Yanchuan always felt that their status in the Gaofu was much higher.
After Xie Yanchuan's training during this period of time, he has a high level of understanding. More than just a look, he is ready to understand Shen Yang's thoughts without Shen Yang having to say much.
When the first seven days came, the tables and chairs in the eldest lady's room were almost done, but in order to match the color, Shen Yang still had to paint the tables and chairs.
I had mentioned to the housekeeper when they first arrived that they had to go home once every seven days to report that they were safe. The housekeeper had already reported this to the eldest lady.
It was a rainy day.
When she got up early in the morning, Shen Yang opened the window and said hello to Xie Yanchuan. Yesterday, she had agreed to go to the city to buy some things.
It's raining here, so I don't know if it's convenient.
The maid sent by the housekeeper is named Xiao Tao. She is older than the two of them, speaks softly, and is gentle and gentle.
Shen Yang called her Sister Tao, and the breakfast in the kitchen was ready.
Before Shen Yang went out, Sister Tao came over with a lunch box and invited Xie Yanchuan to come over and eat together.
It wasn't raining heavily outside, but it was pouring.
Breakfast was meat porridge, ground meat mixed with rice. Xiao Tao put the oil-paper umbrella at the door and said, "Miss Shen, thank you, Mr. Shen."
She probably had something to say, so Shen Yang hummed, "What's wrong, Sister Tao?"
"It sounds a bit abrupt, Miss Shen, I heard that your home is in Taohua Village, right?" Xiao Tao hesitated.
Shen Yang nodded, and before she could speak, Xiao Tao took out the envelope from her arms and said, "To be honest, my home is in Zhuzhuang, adjacent to Taohua Village. I have never had time to go back to see my parents since I came to Gaofu."
"What's in this envelope is the wages and messages I saved. Can you help me deliver it to my parents? My home is in the south of Zhuzhuang. My surname is Cheng, and my name is Cheng Tao."
Xiao Tao knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Yang as she spoke. For the sake of her parents, she had to survive alone.
Shen Yang put down the spoon and quickly helped Xiao Tao, "What are you talking about, Sister Tao, of course, we can spend the day at home, get up quickly."
Because it was raining, all the materials were covered with canvas, so Shen Yang didn't have to come back in a hurry.
Xiao Tao pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Shen."
Shen Yang took the envelope and said, "Don't worry, Sister Tao, I will definitely give it to your parents personally and come back to tell you about their situation."
Xiaotao had tears in her eyes and nodded with a smile.
It was quite a distance from the backyard to the front door. Shen Yang and Xie Yanchuan each held an oil-paper umbrella, and the rain outside made splashes along the soles of their shoes.
The housekeeper was waiting at the door. When he saw Shen Yang and the others, he hesitated to speak.
The little girl waved her hand towards the housekeeper, "Uncle Fu, let's go back first. See you tomorrow."
Uncle Fu has been working in Gaofu for many years. He has no children, but he is a very kind person. Shen Yang gets along well with him.
The scarlet door is closed from the inside.
Xie Yanchuan raised his oil-paper umbrella and met Uncle Fu's gaze with a pair of dark eyes.
The man lowered his head in a hurry, and the door collided with the door.
Shen Yang was like a little bird flying out of a cage, even his voice was smiling, "Xie Yanchuan, let's rent a carriage and go home."
The oil-paper umbrella in Xie Yanchuan's hand covered his eyes, leaving only the boy's clear jawline.
He stood not far away from Shen Yang, "Okay."
The two people's backs gradually went away, and the two umbrellas seemed to touch each other. I don't know how long it took, but a pair of eyes appeared behind the gate of Gao Mansion, hazy in the rain.
There are places in towns that specialize in renting carriages.
The shoes on Shen Yang's feet were half wet, and her socks felt stuck to her ankles.
The weather is going to get really cold after this rain. She's not at home, so her brothers probably won't be able to pack their clothes.
Next to it is the former clothing store.
Shen Yang put away the oil-paper umbrella and raised her chin towards Xie Yanchuan, "Xie Yanchuan, go buy some clothes for the eldest and second brothers and take them back."
Xie Yanchuan had been silent since he left the Gao family. He responded and Shen Yang entered the shop. The young man hesitated for a moment and called her outside.
"Yangyang, I'll rent a carriage first and wait for you nearby."
It's not far from the left and right, Shen Yang replied, "I know."
The little sisters in the store still remember Shen Yang, a young girl who led five thieves to pick up a good-looking young man.
When I saw a familiar face, many people gathered around me in an instant. The rainy weather was not good, and the lady boss even gave me a pot of hot tea.
Knowing that Shen Yang still bought clothes for his brother at home, they all asked why his brother didn't come with him.
Shen Yang was surrounded by a group of fragrant powders, replying to this and forgetting to reply to that.
Fortunately, this grand occasion did not last long, because Shen Yang paid for five taels of silver, and the little girl crossed her legs and swaggered.
"Sisters, please choose a few sets for each of my five brothers. If the money is not enough, I will add more."
Immediately he remembered the girl Shen Qin and the others were facing, and immediately rushed to the ready-to-wear area next to her, "I know that young man who likes to wear white. I just bought a suit that suits him."
"I'll choose it for the young man in Tsing Yi."
"I choose the one with black clothes and black gauze."
…
It's different from the excitement in a clothing store.
Xie Yanchuan held an oil-paper umbrella and walked around the car rental shop, his boots stepping over the small ditch where rainwater had accumulated.
The black gauze hanging down on the side of her body, with the back hem lifted by the wind, the young man could only see the ponytail tied high and the hair wrapped around the back.
He headed towards the city gate, stood under the tree for four or five breaths, and then walked into the dark alley.
The accumulated water on the ground flows down the paths on both sides.
Feng Hu hurried over and said, "Master Xie, I have an idea."
Xie Yanchuan moved the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, revealing his cold and handsome face, "Master Feng."
"My subordinates are keeping watch day and night. The iron mine in the west of the city is guarded by secret soldiers. There is the sound of mining every night. I find someone to sneak in."
Feng Hu moved closer to Xie Yanchuan and lowered his voice, "The person who oversees the iron mine is the dean of Qifeng Academy. Those lost students are regarded as miners, and in the bamboo forest behind the mine, there are blacksmiths making weapons."
Now, things seemed to make sense.
Xie Yanchuan's mind wandered for a few times, but he didn't show it on his face. He spoke with a cold tone, "Report this matter back to the palace. It's inconvenient for me to come out today. Master Feng needs to continue to keep an eye on who the weapon will dock with in the end."
Feng Hu clasped his hands and said, "Yes, Mr. Xie."
