There was no other reason. It was mainly because Manager Jia was forced to leave the city of Peking, and when he left, he sold the shop at a low price.

Tian Wang asked Xu Yun for money and bought the shop.

Afterwards, he "rented" the house that was originally used as the backyard by Manager Jia to Ding San.

Xu Yun now even saved money on renting a house. Even if there were not enough people in the future, he could still hire more people and still have a place to live.

Ding San and Tian Wang were both very grateful to Xu Yun.

After all, the daily work was not tiring, and Xu Yun promised that he would keep the bulk of the money they earned from recruiting people or selling snacks.

Xu Yun first praised what the two had done during this period, and then got down to business: "In two days, I will leave for Lingtai County to take up my post."

Tian Wang and Ding San looked at each other and said, "Then let's pack up and go over there to find out what's going on?"

Xu Yun sat on the chair and stroked the pattern on his cuffs with his fingertips. He was very satisfied with their reactions, but shook his head: "You don't go with me, stay in Beiping. Continue to help me get information."

After a pause, she said, "Protect my mother and Hongyu at the same time."

Xu Yun finally said: "In the past few years, if you see someone suitable, you can buy them and train them carefully. When I come back, as long as they can take over, you can choose to go home and live a normal life."

Ding San and Tian Wang were stunned. Ding San asked anxiously, "Could it be that we did something inappropriate and made you unhappy?"

This is to chase people away!

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Of course not. It's just that everyone has their own aspirations, and I'm afraid you're embarrassed to talk to me about this. Once you've made enough money, it's inevitable that you'll want to live a peaceful and stable life. Now, it's a bit dangerous after all."

Finally, she reassured them: "Of course, if you want to stay, I'd love to."

Ding San and Tian Wang then breathed a sigh of relief and felt reassured.

Xu Yun then told them a few more things and asked them to write to her every ten days. As for the mailing address, she would send the letter back when she arrived, and they could just mail to the address written in the letter in the future.

When Xu Yun left Ding San and Tian Wang, he also brought back a large bag of snacks.

Then, he took the big bag of snacks and went to visit Aunt Deng with Luo Li.

Why drag Luo Li into this?

The main reason was that there were too many snacks and it was difficult for one person to carry them all.

Aunt Deng didn't know Xu Yun was leaving yet. Seeing so many things, she was distressed and said, "Just come here. Why buy so many things? It's not costing money, is it?"

Xu Yun smiled and handed the things to the servant who was receiving them, saying, "I'm going out now, and I won't be back for at least a year or two. If I don't buy more, I'm afraid you'll finish them quickly and forget about me."

Aunt Deng was stunned. She pulled Xu Yun to sit down and asked carefully, "Going out? For a year or so? Are you going to work as an official in another place?"

Xu Yun told him about his trip to Lingtai County.

Aunt Deng was furious: "You are already a top scholar, why can't you stay in Peking? You are leaving to such a remote place, isn't that suffering? For such a thing, other men are not allowed to go, but you are the one who goes!"

"Auntie, why can't women go?" Xu Yun smiled and said proudly, "We have to do better than those men!"

Although Aunt Deng felt sorry for Xu Yun, she had to admit that Xu Yun's words really touched her heart - she was also a person who would not admit defeat.

If it were her, she would think the same way. She would also have to hold her breath and do better than men!

Aunt Deng pulled Xu Yun's hand, still feeling distressed: "I'll find you some good leather later. Don't be embarrassed to ask for it. If you really go to that kind of place, it won't hurt to have more leather."

She sighed, "One more thing. When you go out, don't mistreat yourself. Make sure you take good care of yourself. Women are different from men. You still have to pay attention to the things you should pay attention to."

Xu Yun looked at Luo Li and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Luo Li and I will go together. We will support each other, it will be fine."

Aunt Deng also looked at Luo Li, and then made the decision: "Okay, I'll find two more skins later, so you don't run out of supplies when the time comes!"

Xu Yun and Luo Li couldn't stop him.

Afterwards, Aunt Deng found an excuse to send Luo Li away.

Xu Yun knew that he had something to say to him, so he listened carefully.

However, Aunt Deng began to hesitate and could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Xu Yun was getting anxious, so she simply said, "Auntie, just say whatever you want to say. Why should we beat around the bush?"

Aunt Deng made up her mind and lowered her voice and said, "Let me put it this way. I want to find a marriage for Erlang."

Xu Yun was at a loss: "I know. But does this matter... have anything to do with me?"

She had already refused. Aunt Deng shouldn't be thinking about her and Luo Zhan, right?

If it wasn't her, then it was...

Thinking of Auntie Deng's behavior of sending Luo Li away just now, Xu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you interested in Luo Li?"

Aunt Deng slapped her thigh, her brows relaxed, and she smiled: "Oh, smart people talk without any trouble. Yes, what do you think?"

Xu Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Have you asked Luo Zhan?"

Aunt Deng shook her head and said, "I haven't asked yet. I've thought about it myself and I think it's not bad. You see, although Erlang is a high-ranking official now, we are all peasants after all. We are definitely not qualified to be with those nobles."

"Secondly, I don't want him to have to humble himself to please his wife. It doesn't matter if they are men or women. Once they get married, if one of them has to live under the other's thumb, what's the point? They will definitely not be happy."

"But, I also want Erlang to find someone who is educated. Not only will he have someone to give him advice in the future, but he will also be able to take good care of his grandchildren."

"If this person wants to have a bright future, he still needs to study."

Aunt Deng looked at Xu Yun expectantly and said, "Tell me, if Luo Li were to marry Erlang, would she be willing?"

This question really stumped Xu Yun.

Would Luo Li be willing?

From her point of view, Luo Zhan is indeed worthy of Luo Li. Although Luo Zhan's handwriting is ugly, he definitely loves his wife and is indeed capable.

But marriage is different from other matters.

Luo Zhan and Luo Li...will they be willing to do this?

Finally, Xu Yun met Auntie Deng's gaze and told her the truth: "It's useless for us to think it's suitable. We still have to ask Luo Li and Erlang what they think. After all, they have to live their own lives in the end. We are all bystanders, what do you think, Auntie?"

Aunt Deng was delighted: "If you put it that way, then you also think this is a good idea!"

Xu Yun quickly reminded: "You ask Luo Zhan first. If Luo Zhan is interested, I will ask Luo Li!"

They have no say in this matter!

Aunt Deng slapped her thigh again and said, "Okay, I'll tell you tonight. If I ask someone to send you something, it means Erlang is happy with it. If not, don't ask!"

Xu Yun agreed, but did not hold out much hope: after all, Luo Zhan might not want to get married now!
