"Do you know what you are talking about?"
Xiao Mo was so mad at this stupid brother.
He turned around and ordered, "Come here! Go get Nanzhu! Bring the Second Young Master's guards as well!"
"Yes!" Someone at the door responded and left.
When Xiao Chengjun heard that his elder brother was going to bring Nanzhu with him, he turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by the guard at the door: "Second Young Master, please stay."
He had no choice but to come back and sit on the chair next to him angrily.
Xiao Mo ignored his brother and sat in the armchair with his eyes closed, rubbing his temples.
After a while, Nanzhu and several guards were brought over.
Xiao Mo ignored his brother's angry look and asked Nan Zhu, "Where are the Jiang family's suitcases?"
Nanzhu didn't dare to look at the two gentlemen. She lowered her head and mumbled for a long time without being able to make any statement.
Xiao Mo leaned back in his armchair, staring coldly at the teenage servant, and said lightly, "If you dare to tell a lie, I'll cut off your tongue."
Nan Zhu was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice, "My Lord, that box... was given to the Wen family."
Xiao Mo's forehead was throbbing with veins when he heard this, and he said to Nan Zhu, "Master, you did something wrong but did not stop me. Go down and get 20 military sticks to serve as a warning to others."
"Yes!" Nanzhu didn't dare to look up at the second young master's expression, and crawled out of the study.
He asked several more guards, and they all confirmed Nanzhu's statement.
The younger brother Xiao Chengjun actually gave several boxes to the mother and daughter of the Wen family.
Xiao Mo was speechless. He pinched his brows and tried to calm himself down.
I never realized that my second brother was so childish before. What stimulated him to do such a stupid thing this time
"What do you say?" Xiao Mo asked.
Xiao Chengjun snorted: "There's nothing to say."
The stuff has already been sent out, how can I get it back? Anyway, I can't make it myself, and my brother won't do it either.
Xiao Mo supported his forehead with one hand, looked at his brother coldly, and said: "It seems that those old pedants are just sitting there doing nothing and have never taught their students the most basic etiquette. I will ask my father to find a few people to come over later. You are still young, so study with them for a while. When you have read the Book of Rites thoroughly, you can go to the Zhechou Mansion to take up a position."
Although Xiao Chengjun was not convinced, he knew that his elder brother always kept his word. The more he objected, the longer he would have to study.
"Yes, brother." He replied with his head down.
Xiao Mo waved his hand and let his brother go down.
He then called his aide Cui Zhaochen and handed him the two lists in his hands.
"Mr. Cui, please buy everything according to the list and send someone to deliver it to the Jiang family in Chuanhe Town. Please don't be rude."
Cui Zhaochen took the list and took a look at it, then said with a smile, "Oh, even the footwear is on it. Tsk, tsk, there's also a package of needles and thread, and two pieces of silk thread. Whose gift list is this?"
Xiao Mo said unhappily, "Just follow the instructions from above. As for the gold, silver, and silk fabrics, take them out from my private vault first."
The gold, silver and other valuables that he had paid in advance would be slowly deducted from Xiao Chengjun's monthly salary until it was full.
Cui Zhaochen folded the list, put it in his sleeve, bowed to Xiao Mo, went to the accounting office to get two hundred taels of silver, and left the Xiao Mansion.
Not long after walking, I saw Kang'an Pharmacy.
Thinking of the medicine box and the tools for making wax shells on the list, Cui Zhaochen held up the corner of his robe and walked into the pharmacy.
"Brother Wen." Cui Zhaochen clasped his fists towards the doctor sitting in the pharmacy: "Long time no see."
Wen Yanmin quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "It's Brother Zhaochen, what brings you here?"
Cui Zhaochen smiled and said, "I came to your house to buy two items. Do you have any for sale?"
"What object?"
"It's the kind of tool used to make the wax shell on the outside of the pills, and there's also a medicine box."
Cui Zhaochen gestured: "The medicine box that your doctors carry should also contain a set of silver needles, 108 in total, a set of various surgical knives, first aid medicines, and a set of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Wen Yanmin nodded: "I do have the tools for making wax shells at home, but I don't sell them out. I only have one medicine box, and I don't sell it out either."
"Brother Wen, do you know where I can have it custom-made?" Cui Zhaochen asked.
Wen Yanmin: "There is a Zhangji Wooden Furniture Shop not far from here. They should be able to make it."
"Thank you, Brother Wen, for telling me." Cui Zhaochen bowed and left.
A few days later, Cui Zhaochen finally bought all the items on the list and reported to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo looked at the six large boxes placed in the yard, feeling a little confused.
"Aren't there five boxes? Why is there one extra? Did you not put it away properly?"
Not only was there one extra one, but there was also a wooden shelf and a medicine box that were not put into the wooden box.
Cui Zhaochen: "Who said I didn't put it away properly? The boxes are packed full, there's not even a gap."
Xiao Mo picked up the list and looked at it, then compared it with Cui Zhaochen's purchase list one by one and found that it was correct.
"Forget it. You can take a few people to Qinchuan County tomorrow. Oh, and by the way, Wei Zhan is going with you, so please take him with you. Go quickly and come back quickly."
"Okay, let's take the water route tomorrow, which is faster." Cui Zhaochen put away the list, got up and left.
The next morning, Cui Zhaochen asked several guards to load the box onto a carriage and transport it to the dock.
Afterwards, Wei Zhan came with four servants, two of whom were carrying a large box.
After several people got on the boat, Wei Zhan asked the servant to carry the large box into his cabin, closed the door and allowed no one to enter.
The big ship started moving towards Qinchuan County.
Luzhou is only about 600 miles away from Qinchuan County. The large ship sailed downstream and arrived there in one day and one night.
"Young Master, we've arrived. Come out quickly."
The servant knocked on the cabin door and listened attentively to the movements in the cabin.
“Here it comes!”
The cabin door was opened and the servant opened his mouth in shock.
"Young...Young Master, why is Young Master Xiao here?" The servant was so nervous that he almost suffocated.
A head with a red silk braid popped out from behind Wei Zhan, blinking her big eyes and saying, "I've been here for a long time! You're so stupid!"
At this time, Cui Zhaochen also came over, and when he saw Xiao Chengyu behind Wei Zhan, he gasped. "What's going on? Wei Zhan, why did you bring him here?"
Wei Zhan said nonchalantly: "He wanted to play with me, so I brought him here."
Seeing Cui Zhaochen frowning, he hurriedly said, "It's okay. I've left a letter for my aunt. She won't blame you."
Cui Zhaochen snorted, "That's easy for you to say!"
Everyone in the Xiao family knows that Mr. Xiao and his wife dote on their five-year-old son the most.
Especially the wife, who holds her son in the palm of her hand for fear of him falling, and holds him in her mouth for fear of him melting. She is simply like her **.
Now, Wei Zhan actually brought his wife's body to Qinchuan County, hundreds of miles away.
But now that things have come to this, we can't turn the boat around and send him back.
Cui Zhaochen turned around and called a guard, asking him to pick up Young Master Xiao and get off the boat later.
Wei Zhan was very proud and winked at Xiao Chengyu.
Xiao Chengyu also winked at him, and the two kids understood each other tacitly.
Cui Zhaochen took a look into Wei Zhan’s cabin and knew what was going on.
This naughty kid hid his little cousin in a big wooden box and asked the servant to carry it over.
Wei Zhan even knew to drill two egg-sized ventilation holes in the large wooden box, put a cotton mattress inside, and let his little cousin lie down in it.
Cui Zhaochen shook his head and sighed.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the Xiao family can’t find their young master, so they will probably be in big trouble.
