The sky was filled with clouds and mist, and there was a drizzle of autumn rain, which soaked the bluestone road.
A convoy of Jiangnan caravans arrived at the back gate of Ming Fei's mansion. The man driving the carriage jumped out of the carriage and bowed to the gatekeeper at the back gate.
"Excuse me, is it from Concubine Ming's house? We are the Flame Caravan, coming from the south of the Yangtze River. The New Year goods ordered by your house have arrived. Do you want to unload the goods here or go in?"
The gatekeeper looked at him and the convoy, then looked at his handwriting and the cards, and nodded: "Everyone, wait here. I will go and inform the grandma in charge and come out to do the counting."
The gatekeeper nodded: "Yes."
After a while, many boys came over and removed the threshold, allowing the convoy to go in directly——
"The housekeeper told me to let you in to unload the goods, so you don't have to carry them!"
Various people who were watching Concubine Ming's Mansion near the back door secretly noted that there was a caravan delivering goods.
...
The motorcade entered the courtyard, and the courtyard gate returned to its usual appearance.
After a while, many strong escort men came out of the motorcade, and two middle-aged men got out of a carriage in the middle.
One was wearing a worn-out scholar's robe, and the other was a middle-aged wealthy official with a beard.
Grandma Wang hurried over with her people. When she saw them, she couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Chen, Yuan Zhou, you are here. Miss, they have been waiting in the study for a long time."
The gentle man who was called Mr. Chen returned the favor with a smile: "Ms. Wang, you have worked really hard these days."
Zhou Yuanwai also smiled calmly and boldly: "Beijing has wronged my aunt in these years!"
In the past, Aunt Wang was a first-class quartermaster in the army. She was so majestic that no one would call her Aunt Wang.
As a result, she has been lurking in the most dangerous places for these years, acting as a backdoor mother-in-law, but she has also protected the eldest lady and reopened the hope of their red-blooded orphan.
Really outstanding achievements!
"That's what an old woman should do. We are all old friends, so let's not talk about it. It's not a show in the mall!!" Aunt Wang waved her hand politely.
Everyone laughed together.
"Let's go, the children and many old acquaintances are waiting to see you!" Aunt Wang said with a smile.
Everyone was talking and laughing and went to the study.
In the study, there were Ming Lanruo, Chen Ning, Zhou Rugu, Chun He, Jing Ming... and Guan Yuecheng, who had just lost half of his internal strength.
Sister Hong of the Northeast Red Blood Army, Mr. Song and Tang, Wei Ye, the representative of the new generation of Red Blood Army, and others are all already waiting.
As soon as the study door opened, everyone in the study stood up.
Ming Lanruo first greeted with a smile: "Let me guess, the one who looks like an outsider is General Zhou, and the one who looks like a scholar is General Chen."
Zhou Yuanwai and Mr. Chen looked at each other, knelt down on one knee to Ming Lanruo, and saluted with their hands on their shoulders——
"Subordinate Zhou Mian, Chen Tinghan has been lurking in the southwest/central province for twenty years. Now the mission has been completed! Return to the team from today!"
Ming Lanruo accepted their worship calmly - this was recognition of his master: "Zhou Mian, Chen Tinghan, you have been lurking in the Central and South/Central Provinces for twenty years. Your mission has been completed. Return to the team immediately!"
"Yes, Miss!" The two middle-aged generals clasped their fists together.
After they finished saluting, Ming Lanruo personally helped them up and said, "My niece has met Uncle Zhou and Uncle Chen."
This is a gift that belongs to the younger generation to show her closeness.
"I dare not take it! You really look like Miss Guanyin back then." Zhou Yuanwai looked at Ming Lanruo with a complex and emotional expression.
