Chapter 774: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 774 - Visiting the Huifeng Escort Agency
Except for the two children, everyone had a taste of the wine.
It had a good flavor, and Shu Yu even sipped two small cups.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Xi and Meng Yunzheng bid farewell, while the Lu family lit candles and began writing letters.
This time, it was Shu Yu who took the pen first. She first reported that they were safe, and then talked about their life there. The old lady wanted her to mention her appointment as the steward, even though she didn't say much about it. Just the mention of her being a steward would let others know that she was doing well.
Then she mentioned the preparations for the upcoming New Year, asking her eldest uncle and third uncle to help clean the house for her second branch's family. Although they were not there, the festive atmosphere still needed to be present.
Shu Yu wrote a long letter, mainly for Da Niu.
In the letter, she explained which packages of tea were for Lord Xiang, Doctor Xu, and the Ding family. After making everything clear, she put down the pen.
The letter wasn't very thick, and Shu Yu waited for the ink to dry before sealing it.
The letters and the specialties were sent separately. Meng Yunzheng would help send the letters through the official postal channels, and they should arrive before the New Year.
As for the specialties, Lu Erbai said that the Huifeng Escort Agency would be making a trip to Jiangnan in a few days, passing through Dong'an Prefecture along the way.
Because of this, the escorts from the agency had come to Lu Erbai and asked if there was anything that needed to be taken back to their hometown.
Lu Erbai hadn't wanted to trouble them, but now that the topic of New Year goods had come up, it was indeed troublesome to ask the Huifeng Escort Agency to make a trip.
Therefore, the next day, Lu Erbai specifically went to the Huifeng Escort Agency to inform them.
This was Shu Yu's first visit to the agency. The Huifeng Escort Agency was the largest escort agency in the whole Heichang County, with a large compound and many escorts.
When they arrived, many escorts were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, swinging their knives, spears, swords, and halberds with vigor.
The person who came to greet them was the second-in-command of the escort agency, as it was said that the head of the agency was away and not present.
The Huifeng Escort Agency welcomed Lu Erbai warmly, especially when they heard that he had come with the rumored Second Miss. The second-in-command invited them in and occasionally cast a glance at Shu Yu.
This made Shu Yu feel a little uncomfortable, but the second-in-command laughed heartily and, upon entering the house, thanked her earnestly.
"The incident from last time, the yamen had already informed us. Thanks to the young lady, the troubles in our escort agency were resolved so quickly."
Shu Yu quickly said, "Second-in-Command, you're being too polite. I didn't do much to help. It was just an accident. It's actually our family who should thank you. We're newcomers, and we're grateful for your care."
Shu Yu spoke in a generous and pleasant manner, and the second-in-command liked her straightforwardness.
As a result, he ended up chatting more with Shu Yu after that.
Lu Erbai, on the other hand, stood to the side like a background board, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Shu Yu soon got to the point, "...I would like to trouble you to help deliver these items to our hometown. I've written the address on the paper. However, there is one slightly troublesome thing. These specialties need to be delivered personally to my eldest brother, Da Niu. It's not good if they pass through someone else's hands."
If they were passed to Fourth Aunt, it would still be fine, but if they were received by Eldest Uncle's wife and Third Uncle's wife, that would be a disaster. They would definitely keep everything for themselves.
Only when they fell into Da Niu's hands would it be the safest. He would distribute them according to the instructions in the letter, ensuring that no one would be shortchanged.
The second-in-command agreed. It was a small matter and not difficult to handle.
