Chapter 557 Returning Hometown
After a discussion between the two, Sixth Grandma decided to follow Shen Rong's advice and take good care of her body first, and then go out when she was ready.
Shen Rong knew that she would not be back for a short time this time, at least one or two years, at most...
Shen Rong became busy for a while.
The rouge workshop was the easiest to run. It had always been run by Zhang Liuniang. With the support of the Duke's Mansion, it didn't matter whether she was there or not. Now she had to go back to her hometown for a while, and the affairs of the shop would still be managed by Zhang Liuniang. If there was anything she couldn't handle, Zhang Liuniang could just go directly to Madam Zhou Er.
As for the affairs of the farm and the fruit and vegetable shop, Shen Rong handed them all over to Butler Gong.
Although he was the housekeeper, he was also Madam Gong's adopted son. Shen Rong had nothing to worry about letting him take over these things. As long as she had the land deeds in her hands, nothing would go wrong.
Finally, the most important thing is Pingping and Anan’s studies.
At the beginning, Shen Rong asked housekeeper Gong to invite an old teacher to come to the mansion to teach Pingping and Anan.
The old man’s surname was Jiang, and Steward Gong did not say much about his background.
Master Jiang is about fifty years old. He usually wears a simple robe. His skinny back is straight and he looks a bit old-fashioned.
The lessons for the two children can be lively and humorous.
Shen Rong had secretly gone to listen several times.
Master Jiang taught for three years.
Now that they were leaving the capital, Shen Rong had to tell Master Jiang.
That day, Shen Rong went to the west wing in person to pick up the two children from school.
After seeing Master Jiang in a cotton robe, Shen Rong asked Juxiang to wait outside with the two children.
Shen Rong bowed to Master Jiang first, "Master Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you. My children will be going south soon. I wonder if you are willing to go south with our family? If Master Jiang can't leave his hometown, let the two children stay for the time being..."
"I do!" Master Jiang said anxiously, but he realized something was wrong as soon as he said it. He stroked his standard goatee uncomfortably.
The two children of the Gong family are rare and intelligent children.
To be honest, he has lived for most of his life and has seen many smart children, but he has never met a child who is smart, has a talent for studying and is willing to work hard.
As a result, he met two of them at first sight.
Both of them have a photographic memory and can remember everything in a book as long as they read it carefully once.
Not to mention the girl, the boy, with his photographic memory and his teaching, has no problem passing the imperial examination.
Although Jiang Huaiyuan passed the imperial examination, he was not interested in a career in officialdom and economics. If he could raise a son who was both civil and military, it would mean that his life was not in vain.
These days, the two little guys often talk about going back home during breaks.
He had only listened for a few days, but no one came to ask for his opinion, which made him very anxious.
He was afraid that the Gong family would close the school and fire him.
Shen Rong originally thought that the Master was too old to follow them all the way south, so she would only ask the Master if he was willing to go south with them as a courtesy.
But unexpectedly, the teacher agreed immediately.
Shen Rong quickly came back to her senses, "Ah? Oh! That's good that Master Jiang is willing to go south. Then I'll trouble Master Jiang to take care of Gong Leping and An Jie'er."
It’s good that the teacher is willing to go south. Once the children return to their hometown, they won’t have to go through the trouble of looking for a teacher.
What's more, such a good teacher is hard to find anywhere.
Besides, they will bring enough people and things with them when they return, so it won’t make any difference if they bring one more person.
Time flies, and ten days have passed. The weather has already warmed up.
It's a good time to get going.
Shen Rong asked the housekeeper to book a boat ticket, planning to sail south.
This time she only brought two older maids and a maid and a servant to take care of the two children.
As for the maids in the mansion, they all had families with children, but Shen Rong didn't bring any with her.
Then there are the palace guards Wang Qing and others.
The journey by boat was quite fast. With smooth sailing, they arrived at Hanjiang Prefecture where Yunmeng County was located in less than a month.
After arriving at Hanjiang Prefecture, Wang Qing found a convoy and headed towards Yunmeng County.
Yunmeng County is the most remote place under the jurisdiction of Hanjiang Prefecture, and it takes two days to get there by horse carriage.
On the day of disembarking, Shen Rong and his party first stayed in the provincial capital, planning to rest.
According to Shen Rong's original plan, it wouldn't be too late for them to rest in the city for two more days before continuing their journey.
But when we really set foot on the land of our hometown, we couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go home immediately.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth. Grandpa and grandma had been on the boat for so long and didn't feel any discomfort after getting off the boat.
After Shen Rong asked the two elderly people for their opinions, everyone unanimously decided to continue on their journey the next day and walk all the way to Yunmeng County.
That night, everyone, young and old, went to bed early.
Wang Qingze went straight to look for a carriage.
Shen Rong and her companions did not bring much with them, only some things they often used on the road. Shen Rong placed all other valuables and some inconspicuous gifts in the space.
Therefore, in addition to the three carriages needed for grandparents, the teacher, Shen Rong and the two children, one or two more carriages for luggage and servants would be enough.
The next morning, Wang Qing got up before dawn and loaded the gifts onto the carriage.
To be honest, Wang Qing was also excited about returning home this time.
He fled under such circumstances at the beginning, and now that he has come back again, it can be considered a glorious return.
As for what happened in the past, Wang Qing was not worried. With the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, no one in Yunmeng County dared to do anything to him.
This is the advantage of having a backer. Although this backer is insignificant in the capital, it is still very useful in these remote areas.
This is also the reason why Wang Qing stayed in the Marquis' Mansion to work despite having a huge amount of money.
Shen Rong and others took a carriage and left the city gate.
A row of carriages were running on the pipeline. The lush green jungles on both sides dissipated some of the heat in the carriages.
The two children couldn't sit still and kept lifting the car window curtain to look out.
Shen Rong fanned herself as she spoke, "You two went to the capital when you were less than three years old. Now you are already seven years old. I'm afraid you don't even remember your grandparents anymore!"
Pingping frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, "My son doesn't remember it very clearly, he just remembers that the oranges at grandpa and grandma's house were very sour."
When An An heard her brother say that oranges were sour, she couldn't help but feel sour.
Shen Rong laughed.
When she brought the two little ones back to her parents' home, the oranges were not yet ripe, and the two little ones were clamoring for them.
Changsheng picked a green-skinned orange for each person.
Because the oranges were not fully grown yet, the skin was hard and could not be peeled, so I could only use a knife to cut off the green skin little by little.
The brother and sister each held a peeled orange and started to eat it.
As a result, when the two little guys took the oranges in their mouths, they were so sour that their saliva kept flowing, and soon their clothes were wet.
Shen Rong was recalling the brother and sister's childhood. At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and Shen Rong hurriedly hugged the brother and sister.
"Brother Wang, what's going on outside?" After Shen Rong waited for the child to sit down steadily, she lifted the door curtain and looked outside.
Wang Qing, who was driving the car in front, turned back and blocked the car door. "Madam, please don't open the window. There is not only a pool of blood in front, but also someone lying on the ground. It looks like he is dead or alive."
Shen Rong's heart tightened.
But it’s the official road!
Zhao Xi went south to look for treasure, which contained the imperial seal, so he went there in person. However, he encountered an assassin on the way back and hid in the boat that Shen Rong was on.
Shen Rong fell off a cliff and lost her memory and was taken into the palace.
