The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"This is taking too long. We have important things to do. Go and urge her to hurry up. There are so many of us waiting. If you delay important things, you will be blamed by your superiors."

At this time, Shang Xi walked in and said unhappily, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, you just keep urging me. I haven't eaten yet. Have you eaten yet?"

"Ate."

"Since you have already eaten, I won't let you. Xinyue, bring the food over. I'll have a bite here, and then go with them to do business."

At this time Xinyue brought the food to Shang Xi. Shang Xi was very hungry, so he slurped down a bowl of porridge first.

Suddenly Shang Xi asked: "Xinyue, this porridge was made by you, right?"

"Yeah, who else but me?"

"No wonder, where is Sister Wu?" Shang Xi could tell whether the meal was made by Sister Wu with just one bite, because for the same bowl of porridge, Xinyue's was far inferior to Sister Wu's. It was not that Xinyue's cooking was bad, but that Sister Wu's cooking was too good.

Xinyue said, "Sister Wu followed Cangman to Fengying."

"She went to Fengying? Who asked her to go?"

"She wanted to go on her own. Her daughter-in-law came to her every month to ask for money, and all the money for the coffin was taken away. So Sister Wu was angry and followed Cangman. She said that she could look after your house and cook for you there. Here, she gets so much money from you every month just to do housekeeping work. She said that this money is not reliable."

If there were no war, Sister Wu would be more than happy to go, but going to Fengying at this critical moment would be asking for trouble.

Xinyue looked at Shang Xi's expression and felt something was wrong. She asked Shang Xi, "Shang Xi, don't you need any help?"

Shang Xi shook her head and then nodded.

Xinyue was even more confused, "Shang Xi, you keep shaking your head and nodding, are you short of manpower or not?"

Shang Xi calmed down and said, "It's missing."

Xinyue smiled when she heard it, "That's good. Yuhua has gone too. You decide whether you need me or not. If you do, I will go too, but my whole family must go with me."

"Yuhua is there too?" Shang Xi was stunned.

"Yes, we have been gone for more than 20 days. It will be a month soon. I think we will be there soon."

"Why didn't you write me a letter in advance? Isn't this just causing trouble?"

Xinyue said: "I don't have time to write a letter. Cangman is back. Isn't this a good opportunity? You know, Yuhua is like that. She will leave at any time. Who can stop her except you?"

"She doesn't even want to serve the Chen family's elders and children?"

Xinyue said, "After you went to Fengying, she went to Bianjing twice. She originally planned to stay in Bianjing to take care of Brother Chen, but Brother Chen was so busy that she could hardly see him. She came back within two days. In addition, she said she missed you and Cheng Youning, so she had to go."

Shang Xi was so overwhelmed that she said, "She is really a trouble maker. Why did she go to Fengying instead of staying in Nancheng? What good is there in such a chaotic situation?"

"Is there chaos and disorder there? I haven't heard of any fighting in Fengying. Is there a war? I haven't heard of it."

Shang Xi knew that he had said the wrong thing and immediately corrected himself, "It's not the chaos and war, it's the desolation and poverty, it's far worse than this South City."

"Really? I still want to go. Why don't you take me with you this time? I'm just a housekeeper here. I can also look after your children. It doesn't matter if Fengying is poor. Anyway, I work for you. My family relies on your wages to survive. I'll go with you this time. My life will be better with you around."

Xinyue's monthly salary is fixed. She is Cheng Youning's wet nurse, so naturally she gets a lot of money. Moreover, Shang Xi is a generous person. As long as she serves Shang Xi, Shang Xi can buy things for them, such as clothes, jewelry, rouge and powder. She doesn't have to spend money on many things herself, and she can even get rewards during festivals, so her life will be better with Shang Xi.

But how could Shang Xi say no? "Xinyue, I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to it there. It's very hot in Fengying. It's like a fire at this time of year."

Xinyue said, "You are so delicate and you can get used to it, so why can't I get used to it? Cangman told us that the place over there is really nice, that there are green mountains, clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers everywhere, and that the fruits there are tastier than ours. He also said there is something called sugar cane there, which is so sweet that you will never forget it after eating it once. He also said that things there are very cheap and life will be very good there."

When Shang Xi heard this, she realized that they were all trying to fool Furong. The green mountains, clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers were all things that could be seen everywhere in the wild mountains and wilderness. But why didn't she see Cangman chewing sugarcane later? This Cangman was really good at talking nonsense. He had deceived these women. If Shang Xi had known that there might be a war, she would not have let Furong go, let alone Yuhua and Sister Wu. No matter how she thought about it, it was better to stay away from the war.

Suiying listened to their conversation anxiously: "If you want to go, go ahead. We are here to pick you up. There are too many vehicles and horses. Go home and pack your things. You can go with us in the next two days."

Shang Xi disagreed. She shook her head and said to Xinyue, "Wait three or four months before going."

Shang Xi thought that when the war really broke out, Xinyue would definitely not be needed anymore.

But Xinyue had her own explanation: "Shang Xi, it will be autumn and winter in a few months. It will be so cold to go out. I will go home and tell my husband that I am going to Fengying."

Shang Xi dissuaded him: "Why don't you think about it again?"

"As soon as Yuhua and Sister Wu left, I thought about it. I have to go to Fengying. No matter how far it is, I will serve you by your side."

This Xinyue actually went there because Yuhua and Sister Wu both went, and she would be anxious if she didn't go.

Shang Xi had no choice but to nod and agree, leaving life and death to fate.

After Shang Xi had his fill, he followed everyone up the mountain, and he found Uncle Chen first.

"Uncle Chen."

"Shang Xi, you are angry. Did you run into Yuhua on the way?"

"No, I just found out this morning that she followed Cangman to Fengying."

"She said she missed you and Cheng Youning. Are you guys doing well in Fengying?"

Shang Xi said: "The land is vast and sparsely populated, it can't be compared with here, but it will be better in the future. We have built a lot of factories there. This time I came back to see if there is anyone who wants to work there."

"Come back and recruit people."

"Yes, they employ a lot of people there and pay a lot of money."

"More than this?"

"The money offered is about the same, but the rewards are higher. I just don't know if people are willing to go."

Uncle Chen said, "We've been given quite a bit here. Every family in Wanmin Village now has a small house. We've just been stable for two years. I wonder if they're willing to leave."

At this time, Ge Dongqing came over and said, "This must be the Uncle Chen that Shang Xi mentioned."

"Who is this?"

Shang Xi said: "Let me introduce you, this is Uncle Chen, and this is Mr. Ge, the Marquis's sworn brother."
