Chapter 243
Cannot be Loaded on The Boat
Su Qing and Mu Yunyao talked to each other for most of the night before finally falling asleep . The next day, the mother and daughter pair woke up early . Just as they finished washing up, they heard from Jin Lan that Wen Mama and the rest were waiting for them at the door .
Mu Yunyao lightly smiled with an unknown meaning, “They sure are anxious . Take the people to settle down and only leave after eating breakfast . ”
“Yes, Miss . ”
Wen Mama and the rest arranged to stay in the parlor . As soon as breakfast was served, they heard a noise coming from the doorway . “What’s going on outside?”
“Don’t worry about it, Mama . It’s Shopkeeper Qin with his men from Bu Xian Luo helping Madam and Young Miss clean up the things they need to bring . ”
Listening to the activity outside, Wen Mama and the others ate in a slightly absent-minded manner . After eating, they could not restrain their curiosity and got up to take a look at the door . With one look, she could not help but be surprised that there are many boxes in the yard, about a hundred or so in a few counts, and each box was full of them . Just like that, there are still many people holding things in their arms .
Wen Mama was a little dumbfounded . “ Did Madam and Young Miss actually brought so many things with them?”
Liu Mama secretly curled her lips and muttered in her heart: As expected, they came out from the countryside and treated everything like a treasure . Who knows, those boxes might only be filled with pots and pans, pieces and fragments, which makes people laugh when they are bringing it to the Su family .
When Steward Qin saw Wen Mama and the others walk out, he couldn’t help but come forward and pay his respects . “Please wait for a moment . Once the things here had recorded and placed in the box, we will be able to carry them onto the boat . ”
“Shopkeeper Qin, you only need to pick some important things and put them away . When Madam and Young Miss arrive at the Su family, they will definitely not lack anything . ”
With so many boxes, even the boat might not be able to hold them .
Steward Qin frowned slightly and closed the book in his hand . He opened a box nearby and said, “We can also simplify it now . Look, these boxes contain clothes that Young Miss needs to change all year round . Young Miss love to be clean, and if she’s not really fond of them, she’ll never wear them again, so she’ll need a lot of change on the road . ”
As soon as the box opened, the finely embroidered clothes shone brightly . At first glance, it looked so gorgeous, which made Liu Mama, who was standing to one side, was somewhat at a loss for words: These clothes were all elaborately embroidered with a high-quality cloth . Even in the Capital, they were all so eye-catching . She can’t believe that Young Miss wearing it just once?
The corner of Wen Mama’s lips couldn’t help but twitch . “Naturally, I have to bring all Young Miss’s clothes with me . ”
Steward Qin nodded with a face full of smiles: “I think that’s also the case . After all, even if they went to the Su family, making clothes now would take some time . I can’t let Young Miss change her clothes without any clothes . ” Then he opened the other two boxes .
“This box contains the accessories that Young Miss normally uses . She is extremely particular about clothes and accessories and knows what kind of accessories she should wear, so I can’t leave them alone . Since she has so many pieces on my clothes, she’ll naturally have to match them with jewelry well!”
“That’s true . ” Wen Mama carefully examined the contents of the boxes, her heart filled with indescribable complicated feelings . The box that Steward Qin had opened just now were all exceptionally sturdy, and it seemed like they could no longer hold anything else . If the other boxes were like this one, just how many things did Su Qing and Mu Yunyao have?
Steward Qin’s smile became even more brilliant . He pointed at the other boxes and said, “Those boxes are for the Emperor’s bestowal . You had to be very careful about everything the Emperor had given, which is a piece of cloth that should be handled respectfully and must have it with them . The boxes over there contained books Young Miss usually liked to read, and many of them are collected copies . I don’t know if the books are worth a lot of money or not, but there are a lot of tea-lovers who have come to Bu Xian Luo to drink tea to borrow them from time to time . ”
It happened that Yun Chun and Wei Yi brought the jade ornaments over, and they were putting them in the box carefully . When Steward Qin saw them, he quickly stopped them: “Didn’t I tell you everything already? Don’t take everything with you, and don’t worry about the jade ornaments . First, take the things that Madam and Young Miss can use, and we will hire a boat to send the rest to the Capital some other day . ”
Wei Yi and Yun Chun hurriedly took out the jade ornaments and placed them on a table at the side . “Yes, Shopkeeper Qin . ”
“Sigh, these servants have not been trained . It’s quite rude, which makes Mama laugh . ” Steward Qin shook his head, “I must teach them the rules in the future . Ming Yin, have you prepared the tea set that Young Miss used to use?”
“This servant has forgotten …I’ll go and get it now . . . ”
“Sloppy all day . Young Miss has a particular temperament . If she can’t find the tea set she is used to, she will be in a bad mood . There is the whole set of embroidery needles bestowed by the Emperor, also the collection of black and white warm jade chess pieces that she’s used to playing…, what about spices? Young Miss don’t like ambergris fragrance, so she should use the well-prepared vegetarian lilacs . Hey, what are you doing with those porcelains? Those bottles and jars, we’ll only need to buy them when we arrive in the Capital because those will take up space…”
The corner of Wen Mama’s eyes uncontrollably twitched as she looked at the porcelain bottles that Steward Qin had pointed out . If she hadn’t seen it wrongly, all of the porcelain bottles that those people were carrying could be regarded to be top quality, mainly because she had seen a gilded glass vase painted with precious peonies . Wen Mama once saw a similar one in Grand Master’s place, who would not be willing to give it away as he treated it like a treasure and was reluctant to put it out . Instead, he made a red sandalwood box and kept it inside carefully . Rumor said that it was worth more than ten thousand taels of silver . . . ,
The place was bustling with noise and excitement . Mu Yunyao accompanied Su Qing out, “I’ll be troubling Shopkeeper Qin . When I wake up early in the morning, I was busy with the affairs of Mother and me . ”
“Greetings Madam and Young Miss . The items have all been packed . Some of the larger items that can’t be placed into boxes only can send it to the Capital with rent a boat . ”
Mu Yunyao glanced at the boxes in the courtyard . “It’s alright . Some items aren’t needed temporarily . I will talk about them later because there are a lot of things to be packed now . ”
“In reply to Young Miss, here is only a part of it, and some boxes are put in Jin Xiu Garden, which will be shipped later . ”
“Alright, Shopkeeper Qin has always been meticulous in his work, so I am naturally at ease . ”Looking at the boxes in the courtyard, Mu Yunyao was in a good mood . After she had silver taels in her hand, she kept buying things in an attempt to make her mother and her life more comfortable . Unknowingly, she had actually bought so many .
“Wen Mama, we can set off now . ”
Wen Mama’s expression was a little stiff . Hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, she immediately came back to her senses and said with some difficulty . “In reply Young Miss, I’m afraid the boat won’t be able to hold that many things …”
Mu Yunyao’s brows slightly moved, as though she wanted to frown . But in the blink of an eye, she returned to normal . “Can’t hold it? Could Supervisor Qin possibly make it simpler?”
