The next morning, Bai Shao took Ginkgo and Atractylodes macrocephala to work in the kitchen.

There are some ingredients left in the kitchen, just perfect for chopping, stuffing, and making dumplings.

The three of them had a clear division of labor and were very busy. When they had just finished packing two, Bai Zian came in with a food box.

"Yo, are you busy?"

Baiguo didn't even turn her head when she heard the sound. She called "sister" first, then walked over and took the food box.

After looking it over, he said with a sullen expression:
"You are disobedient and stay up late. Look at your red eyes. Please be careful and wait for Madam to scold you."

Although the words were resentful, the heartache in his eyes could not be ignored. He immediately rushed to Tianling Gai with reluctance and almost burst into tears.

"Don't worry, little nagging, I didn't stay up late, I just yawned just now."

"Really?"

"It must be true. If I lie to you, I won't get any candy."

Bai Shao looked at Bai Qian who was speaking firmly, sneered and shook his head——

"If you don't want to bear it, tell people clearly and clearly. Why do you have to be so tough on yourself?"

"I don't have one." Bai Zang argued stubbornly, immediately lowered his head and ran to wash his hands.

Ever since she found out about the master's appointment yesterday, she had been asking about various cities in the northern border.

You won’t know if you don’t ask, but you’ll be shocked if you ask.But there is no point in being afraid. It is certain that the master's family will go to the north. All she can do is manage the shop well, make more money, and try to send more things to the north.

"Sister Bai Shao, I heard that it's hard to buy anything in the northern city. You should prepare more things when you arrive in Liaodong, especially frostbite ointment. It's too cold over there, so you have to protect yourself."

Looking at Bai Qian who was giving serious instructions, Bai Shao nodded in appreciation.

"Okay, I'll remember it. I'll remind your sister to buy it when the time comes. Don't suppress yourself. There's no shame in being reluctant to leave her or thinking about her. You have to say it."

Bai Zian said an embarrassed "hmm" as a response.

As soon as more than ten curtain-covered dumplings were wrapped, Shunxi came over to urge them to pack their bags.Li Hui just decided to have breakfast and leave, so they had to hurry up.

Bai Shu and Bai Guo didn't live together, so Bai Zian took his sister back to her room and forced her to give her three months' salary in advance.

"Take it, don't refuse, I don't need anything in the capital, you don't have to worry about me. When you get to Fucheng, you must buy more things, especially frostbite ointment, do you understand?"

Gingguo pinched the money with body temperature and her eyes turned red instantly.

"Don't cry. If you have time to go back to Liaodong, send some money to our parents and brother at the crossroads. Tell them that we met a noble person and lived a good life."

"okay."

Listening to his sister's crying response, Bai Xian's heart almost broke.

"Good boy, why don't you learn your skills from Sister Bai Shao and try to take over the kitchen?"

Bai Guo could only nod this time and didn't dare to say anything.

After the sisters put away their things and came out, they saw Li Heng and Yan Yixin walking towards the backyard carrying large and small packages.

"Master, let me come."

The two sisters ran over as they talked, but each of them only got two bundles.It is said that they are young masters and young ladies. Except for the delicateness of the young ladies, there seems to be no difference in the lives of the young masters. Sometimes they are even worse than them.

Every time they go out for training and come back, they are both dark, thin and unable to eat.Later I learned that going out to practice is not only to practice skills, but also to practice vigilance and prevent being attacked.In order not to expose his whereabouts, he was not allowed to light a fire in the wild, and all he ate was raw meat and dried steamed buns. It was terrifying to think about it.

When they came to the backyard, Dexi and Shunxi were loading the car, while Cheng Xue was feeding the dog.In the dog world, there are few owners from Liaodong and Shangjing.

Bai Zian put the baggage in the car, walked to Cheng Xue, knelt down and saluted——

"Madam, I got up early and made some snacks. You can keep them for the journey."

"Okay, you're interested. After we leave, the house will be taken care of by you. Come over every now and then and take a look. Please pay more attention to the shop, but don't work too hard. Your health is important."

"Yes, thank you madam." After saying that, he took a few steps forward, "Madam, I asked Yun Yan and Aunt Tao yesterday. There is a shortage of supplies in the north, and many things are not available, so you have to make preparations in advance. It is best Buy it in Fucheng and buy some frostbite ointment, that stuff is practical."

"Okay." Cheng Xue nodded in appreciation and silently wrote it down.

Frostbite ointment is absolutely necessary, especially in a place as cold as the North.But she had no intention of buying it, as it was recorded in medical books.Get some pig pancreas and medicinal materials and make it yourself, it is easy to use and affordable.

After breakfast, Zhou Fang and his wife sent Lian's mother and daughter over.Li Hui and Zhou Fang went to the study to chat, while Cheng Xue talked to their sisters-in-law in the main room.

Zhou Yuxuan is not yet one week old, and the little girl looks very much like Lian. She looks everywhere with her big eyes. It is the stage where everything is new to her.Cheng Xue hugged Sister Xuan and teased her for a few times before being carried out by Li Yue.

Seeing that the little girl was not making any noise, I couldn't help but sigh:

"This kid is so good, he doesn't care about life at all."

Seeing her daughter being praised, Lian felt somewhat proud.

"It's worrying to refuse to accept life. I'm even afraid that someone will run away one day."

With Versailles' words, Cheng Xue smiled and shook her head.

"Don't be ridiculous. There are a lot of women and maids around Sister Xuan. Who can take her away? Have you written a letter to Brother Zhou Fei? Don't go there without saying a word. What will you do if you come up short?"

The newly appointed county magistrate is very busy. He will not just stay in the yamen. He will have to take a look at the territory under his jurisdiction to make sure he knows what he is doing.

Lian naturally knew this truth, nodded and said:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I asked the inn to deliver it yesterday. I paid for it out of my own pocket and it cost [-] miles to expedite it."

Cheng Xue didn't say anything when she heard this, she just gave her a thumbs up.

Logically speaking, it costs nothing to send relatives abroad to have the mail delivered by the post, but the three-hundred-mile express delivery is a different price.And it's not cheap, it costs a hundred taels of silver.On weekdays, the three-hundred-mile expedited service is just for communication between various places and the imperial court. Ordinary people simply dare not use it and cannot afford it.

Bai Shi took out the bag of silver with a smile, pushed it over, and said:

"Xue Niang, keep this money and buy some medicinal materials along the way. You will definitely need them when you get to the north. I have also prepared three extra boxes of Yu Yanfang's facial ointment for you. You and the children can use it. I will give it to you when it is gone. Sending it off. The wind is strong in the north, but don’t freeze your face."

Compared to yesterday, today's state is obviously more peaceful.I guess it was Zhou Fang who told her something, otherwise she wouldn't have changed so quickly.

Cheng Xue picked up the silver very gratefully and said gratefully:
"I want to thank you on behalf of the people in the north. This time we go north, the shop in the capital depends entirely on your care. Thank you for your hard work."

"Yes, you're welcome." Ms. Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she would refuse. Fortunately, she is a sensible person, "I have sent people to the surrounding farmers to collect furs, and I will make some more clothes for you to keep out the cold. , to avoid suffering.”

"Me too, me too. My sister-in-law will write to me if she needs anything when she goes to the north. We are very close." Lian quickly agreed.

Looking at the two of them, Cheng Xue felt warm in her heart, nodded again, and held their hands...
