Because they had been holed up at home for the past few years, they had no decent clothes.
Zhou Ying had no choice but to take out the best cloth in her interspace and use the sewing machine to make two sets of winter clothes.
She made two more cloaks. The outer layer was made of dark satin, and the inner layer was made of a thin quilt made of silk.
Of course, the opening at the bottom was open and could be replaced with a thicker one at any time.
After they were done, it was already late at night, so the two slept in the interspace.
The next day, they woke up early and brought Er Zhuang to the manor. They reviewed the number of sweet potatoes they were bringing along with Chang Shun and started loading the carriages when Manager Liu arrived.
They were busy until evening. Manager Liu found the two and said, “You two go home and pack up, and we will leave after breakfast tomorrow.
“Remember to patch up your carriage with your own bedding.
“According to the Third Prince, we will be camping in the wilderness on the way to the capital.”
“Understood. After we leave, please take care of the manor and the restaurant, Uncle Liu.” Zhou Ying nodded.
“I will. Be careful, you two. Listen more and talk less when you reach the capital.”
“Sorry to trouble you.” Zhou Ying nodded.
Afterward, she gave some additional instructions to Sun Hongliang, Chang Shun, and Uncle Nian before returning to the village.
After entering the village, they went to the village chief, patriarch, and Gu Ziyi’s house to say their goodbyes.
Finally, Gu Chengrui went to the Tian family and called Tian Jiawang out. After telling him about them entering the capital, he said, “Our families are always close to each other, so 1’11 leave the house to you. If the winter gets too cold, I’ll have to trouble you to burn some firewood to warm up the house occasionally.”
“No problem. Leave this to me. By the way, what about the restaurant after you leave?”
“Refer to Sun Hongliang. He’ll inform you when it’s time to open for business.”
“Alright, then, I wish you all a safe journey.”
Gu Chengrui smiled and nodded, then went home.
Coincidentally, Zhou Ying’s beef noodles were also readied, so the couple had dinner.
After the meal, the two put all the valuable things in the house into the interspace. As for Er Zhuang, they decided to put him in the interspace so that he wouldn’t have to suffer with the others.
The next morning, they took two sets of thick bedding, their luggage, a large bag of beef jerky, some dried vegetables, and a bag of meat floss made from beef and rushed to the manor.
Halfway there, they bumped into Father Gu and Second Uncle Gu. The two of them took out a big bag of vermicelli and handed it to them. “There’s nothing better at our home now. 1 hope you two don’t mind the shabbiness.”
“How can that be? This is good stuff.” Gu Chengrui took it. “Keep this vermicelli a secret for the time being. In a year or two, it might become our clan’s income source.”
The two brothers smiled and nodded, and replied, “We understand. You must be careful on this trip.
“As for your aunt’s family…
“If it’s too troublesome, then forget it. We can’t go against the Yang family now.”
Gu Chengrui nodded with a complicated expression. These words were good for them, but it would be a blow to his “aunt”.
However, he also knew Father Gu and the others’ intentions, so he did not say anything. After exchanging a few polite words, he set off.
When they arrived at the village entrance, the village chief gave them 20 boiled eggs, and they received a cooked rooster from the patriarch.
At the same time, he gave a firm reminder.
Especially the patriarch, who repeatedly emphasized that it was good as long as they returned safely.
With this delay, by the time they reached the manor, Manager Liu and the others were almost ready.
Finally, the couple collected a large pot of stewed beef from Unlce Nian and set off with Manager Liu’s convoy..
