Chapter 667: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Hou Shi had initially planned to help with the morning preparations, but she realized that if she finished cooking and boiling water early, the food would be cold by the time Shu Yu and the others woke up. So she decided to rest in her room for a while and only came out a few moments before Shu Yu and the others woke up.
Shu Yu knew that Meng Yunzheng had to leave early, but she didn't expect them to leave before dawn. She nodded and said, "They had something to attend to and left early. Let's have breakfast and then set off for the county town."
The family quickly finished their breakfast and prepared themselves. By the time they were ready, the sky had fully brightened. They hurriedly got into the carts and first headed to the village.
Hou Shi and Sixth Miss went to the post station, where they would be escorted by an official. There weren't many people left in the village at this time. Whether it was hunting, cultivating, or even the girls from the music and dance troupe, they had all left early to work.
However, what surprised Shu Yu was that Ma Lu and the others were also there. When they saw Shu Yu, they greeted her, "Miss Lu, are you leaving?"
"Yes, we're planning to go to the county town."
"Perfect, we can travel together." Ma Lu smiled and pointed to a mule cart parked outside, his excitement evident. "The officials just sent it over for us."
Shu Yu was surprised. "You managed to get it so quickly?"
"Yes." Yesterday, several officials transported a large load to the county town, and they returned early this morning, bringing back the cart with them."
This was great timing. They had been hesitant about going to the town, and if the cart had arrived later in the evening, they might have given up on the idea. But now, it was still morning, and they had plenty of time to reach the county town.
Shu Yu glanced at the cart outside. It was quite large, probably considering Ma Lu and the other big men.
With a quick thought, she said to Ma Lu, "Ma Laoda, can you do me a favor?"
"What favor? Just tell me."
Shu Yu explained the situation about Hou Shi and Sixth Miss needing to go to the post station. The cart could accommodate them, but if the official who was accompanying them also had to sit in the cart, it would be inconvenient. So she asked if he could let the official sit at the front of the cart.
Ma Lu immediately agreed, "No problem, we can let the official sit in our cart."
Shu Yu thanked him, and seeing that everything was settled with Hou Shi, she prepared to set off.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiyue came out from the backyard. When she saw Shu Yu, she quickly greeted her, "My mother is working in the kitchen at the back of the estate today. It's her first day working here, so I came along with her."
Fang Xiyue had no plans to go to the county town. She didn't have much money, and there were only limited things she could buy. She planned to purchase some daily necessities and a bit of sewing materials. Now that she and her mother had some free time after finishing their chores, they could do some sewing work to earn some income.
There were a few rabbit pelts at home, but the quantity was too small. They planned to save up more and ask Ma Lu and the others to help sell them in the future.
So she didn't need to go to the county town. She could buy what she needed in the town, which was close by. She could make a round trip in just a morning and still take care of her father at home.
Fang Xiyue bid farewell to Shu Yu and the others, watching them leave the estate.
The two carts rattled along the road, moving steadily. Though not fast, they were still much faster than walking. After half an hour, they arrived at the gates of Heichang County.
