After agreeing with the apprentice in the carpenter's shop on a time to deliver the furniture, the mother and daughter left.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held a letter in her hand. She wrote it specifically to Jiang Yu, and she just took advantage of this opportunity to send it to the town.

In ancient times, to send letters, you had to go to a special post station, called a postal station.

In this era, the postal service developed very well. As people's demand for communication became more and more urgent, those who went out for business and work, as well as soldiers who were forced to go on war during the war, and people who fled away from home, all needed to communicate with their relatives and friends. Communication, especially for businessmen from various places, wanted to exchange business information, discuss trade, and send bills, so the business of private letter delivery came into being.

The post stations are equipped with post donkeys and horses specifically for delivering letters. There is a post station every thirty miles on the letter delivery road. During the letter delivery process, people and horses can be changed at the post station, so that official documents from the government or private letters can be received at one stop. Pass it on from station to station.

However, the price of delivering letters is not cheap. It starts with at least one tael of silver. Generally, only wealthy families can afford it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's asking price for this letter sent to the capital was as high as thirty taels of silver.

Although it was expensive, she could only grit her teeth and accept it, because she had to send this letter to Jiang Yu in the capital.

In the letter, she not only wanted to ask Jiang Yu whether he was behind the problems with the Sun family's merchant ship, but she also wanted to ask about the situation of the ice cream and ice cream business in the capital...

If it sells well in the capital, they can expand their ice cream and ice cream business to the capital tomorrow in the spring and summer.

Jiang Yu had already left his address in the capital before leaving. Jiang Xiaoxiao only needed to tell the post manager at the inn.

At this time, a man came over and pushed the envelope on the counter with his sharply articulated fingers: "Send this letter to the capital."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The steward, who was busy recording the address, responded.

Jiang Xiaoxiao heard this and wondered, why would someone want to send a letter to the capital?

She looked up and was stunned, Shen Chue? !

The man in front of him was dressed in homely casual clothes, made of ordinary fine grass cloth, and it was rare to see him without a knife on his waist. He looked like an ordinary person from an ordinary family, but his aura had an invisible force that should not be underestimated.

Shen Que also saw her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Little girl from the Jiang family?"

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the letter she had just handed over, and the "Jiang Yu Qinqi" words on the envelope that looked like dogs crawling came into view.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could feel that the other party was silent for a moment. She laughed and changed the subject: "What a coincidence. Master Shen also wants to send a letter to the capital?"

"Yes." Shen Que responded lightly, and moved his fingers slightly to show her the words on his envelope. It also said in strong handwriting: Jiang Yu personally expresses it.

This time it was Jiang Xiaoxiao's turn to be silent.

She silently covered the dog-like words on her envelope with her little hands, thinking to herself: This is so embarrassing...

Shen Que didn't seem to notice her little move and said quietly to the steward at the counter: "Send my letter with hers."

After speaking, he took out six taels of silver and placed them on the counter.

"Hey, good."

The steward responded repeatedly, seeming to realize that Shen was indeed no ordinary person. Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoxiao's reaction, he quickly wrapped the two letters together.

Jiang Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but swallowed the words.

Forget it, they are all sent to Jiang Yu anyway. There is no difference between sending them separately or together. It also saves her three taels of silver.

The two of them left the inn together. Jiang Wei was waiting outside with a bag of honey cakes. They were in a hurry to go out in the morning and hadn't had breakfast yet. They had to go to town to look at shops later, so she took advantage of Jiang Xiaoxiao's opportunity to send a letter. Go nearby and buy some food to fill your stomach.

"Master Shen?" Jiang Wei saw the two of them walking out of the inn together, and his usually expressionless expression couldn't help but be startled.

Jiang Xiaoxiao quickly walked to her mother's side and briefly talked about what had just happened.

After Jiang Wei finished listening, he stood up straight and bowed slightly to Shen Que: "Thank you, Mr. Shen." Shen Que stood still, only raised his hand to support him and said softly: "Besides official duties, there is no need to say more. present."

When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard what he said, she unconsciously looked at the casual clothes he was wearing. Master Shen usually went out for official business, and almost never left his official uniform and machete. Today, he was rarely dressed as an ordinary person. Could it be that he was on holiday?

According to the laws of Dayin, officials take a rest every ten days to visit their relatives. This means that for every ten days of work, civil servants will have one day off. They can take a bath and change clothes, have their hair trimmed and shaved, and can also go home to visit their children and reunite with their couples. …

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but glance at Shen Que's face quietly. That face seemed to be more energetic than before, less serious and cold, and more approachable and imperceptibly relaxed.

Sure enough, no matter in modern times or ancient times, people are not in a good mood when going to work, and they only relax completely after get off work.

"...Master Shen, since nothing happens, let me just..." After Jiang Wei said a few words, he wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Jiang Xiaoxiao's stomach growled unsatisfactorily at this moment.

They both looked at her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

She covered her face helplessly.

Shen Que had a rare smile on his face: "It's getting late. I'm about to go to Yuelai Restaurant for breakfast. If you have nothing to do, please come together."

Jiang Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and wanted to refuse. Although her family had a good relationship with Jiang Yu, she was not very familiar with Shen Que, and he was a dignified county captain. It would be rude to go to dinner together.

However, before she opened her mouth, her mother-in-law agreed first: "Okay."

So, the three of them walked in the direction of Yuelai Restaurant.

Shen Que walked slowly in front, and the mother and daughter followed closely behind.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at her mother and then at the man walking in front who looked imposing even without wearing official uniform, feeling very uneasy.

No way, her mother-in-law wouldn't be interested in this Shen Zhen, would she?

Although this Shen does seem to be a quiet person, we still don't know what kind of person he is in private, and according to the original plot, this guy will not live long.

I hope her mother-in-law will never fall into it...

Jiang Xiaoxiao prayed silently in her heart, and soon arrived in front of Yuelai Restaurant.

As soon as the waiter in front of the store saw Shen Que, he quickly came up to him and shouted respectfully: "Second Master Shen."

Shen Que nodded slightly and strode into the restaurant without stopping.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was led by her mother and followed behind her into the restaurant. Seeing this, the waiter came up and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, why are you here with Mr. Shen?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao gave him a rather helpless look.

"Eh?" The waiter scratched his head in confusion. He was about to ask again, but the next second he was called over by shopkeeper Zhou.

"Send this to Second Master Shen in the private room on the second floor."

"Yes." The waiter didn't dare to delay and hurriedly carried the plate up to the second floor.

Jiang Xiaoxiao noticed that in addition to the meals prepared in advance, there was also a large bowl of ice cream on the plate...

She couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

It’s been autumn for so long, but this guy is still eating ice cream. Besides, whoever eats ice cream along with his meal is not afraid of getting a bad stomach... (End of Chapter)
