Chapter 288 Visiting the Ge Family
Yan Muxi smiled so hard that her eyes curved. She said in an exaggerated tone, "Yes, I really need Aunt Ming to support me."
Minghui glared at her again, "The baby you gave birth to is almost old enough to play with soy sauce, but it's still not in good shape."
"Who says you have to be stable after having a child? Even if I'm old, I'll still rely on you, Aunt Ming. Don't even think about hiding away from me."
Looking at the pretty face in front of her with a faint smile, Minghui suddenly remembered the nightmare that night, "Xixi, let's settle the supplies and go back to Huadao as soon as possible! As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate. You have done what you should do. The next power struggle is not something we can interfere with. Your grandfather, An'an, and Kangkang are still waiting for you on the island. Protecting yourself is more important than anything else."
Yan Muxi didn't know why Minghui suddenly said this, but she still responded, "Okay, after we finish the work at hand, we will immediately return to Huadao and stop meddling in other people's business."
After breakfast, Yan Muxi, Dong Yu and others went out of the city to check out various storage locations.
Jincheng is only two hundred miles away from Dingzhou City. Transporting a large amount of grain into Dingzhou would be too conspicuous, so Yan Muxi chose Jincheng as the material storage site.
Materials entering the city had to be inspected by the government. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the warehouse was chosen to be located in a town not far from Jincheng. It only took half an hour to drive a horse carriage from Jincheng to reach the warehouse.
All eggs should not be put in one basket. There were more than ten supply storage points scattered around. It was already sunset when Yan Muxi returned to the inn after visiting all of them.
"The Ge family sent us thank-you gifts during the day, all of which are priceless treasures. Do we need to prepare more generous gifts for our visit tomorrow?" Minghui showed Yan Muxi the thank-you gifts from the Ge family one by one.
Yan Muxi took a look and found that the supplementary products included ginseng, deer antlers, ganoderma lucidum, etc. of considerable age, and the cloths and specialties were also fine products.
She thought for a moment and said, "The Ge family is a noble family, and the children in the family are good at business and have no shortage of good things. We don't need to send some flashy things, just add two more bottles of pills."
The Ge family has been entrenched in Jincheng for many years, and their prestige and influence are greater than that of the current prefect. If we can get the protection of the Ge family, the stockpiled supplies will be more secure.
Yan Muxi had originally planned to exchange benefits for the protection of the Ge family, but now that he had the matter of rescuing Yan Muyun, he could avoid the need for any currying favor.
At noon the next day, Yan Muxi and Minghui visited Ge's house.
Mrs. Ge personally received the two people who pretended to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and warmly invited them to have dinner at her house. Yan Muxi had always wanted to make friends and get close to them, so after some refusals, she finally accepted.
Yan Muyun invited Yan Muxi to visit the garden. On the way, she sent away the servants who followed her. Yan Muyun asked the question that had been pent up for a few days, "Second sister, did you take the risk to come to the northern border just to do business and make money?"
The Qian family is not just talk that they are rich enough to rival a country. Now that the second son has faked his own death and escaped, and has no shortage of money, there is no reason for him to take risks just to make money.
"In addition to making money, I do have other plans." Yan Muxi had something else to entrust to Yan Muyun, so he did not hide it.
"What other plans do you have?" Yan Muyun asked, but was afraid of being too presumptuous, so she explained, "Don't misunderstand, Second Sister. I'm not trying to pry into your private matters. I'm just thinking that if there's anything I can do to help you, I can help you a little."
What she said was from the bottom of her heart. When she was in Luodu, it was always Yan Muxi who helped her solve problems. She had almost no energy to interfere with what Yan Muching and Yan Muxi wanted to do. Now, if Yan Muxi could be of use to her, she would definitely do her best to help.
Yan Muxi looked around and when he saw that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice, "Could the third sister influence General Gu's decision?"
"What do you mean by asking this, second sister? Could it be that second sister wants to ask Mr. Gu for something?" Yan Muyun frowned slightly.
Yan Muxi thought about it and did not deny it, "I guess so!"
Hearing this, Yan Muyun's brows knitted even tighter.
If she had known that the second brother had something to ask Gu Yunting, she would not have divorced Gu Yunting out of spite.
He left without hesitation and fearlessly, but turned around and crawled back in a cowardly manner, which was extremely embarrassing.
Never mind, sisterly matters are more important than face, so she can be a coward! She doesn't have much face to lose in front of Gu anyway.
"Second sister, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will go back and make a scene to force Gu Yunting to agree to help."
Yan Muxi was amused by Yan Muyun's heroic attitude and tone, "Didn't Third Sister want to divorce General Gu? Why, you don't want to divorce?"
Yan Mujun glared at her and said, "You can still laugh. If I didn't want to help you, I, Yan Mujun, would never bow my head to a man in my life. You know, if you bow your head once, you may have to bow your head for the rest of your life."
Realizing that his words were wrong, he quickly added, "But you don't have to feel bad, second brother. It won't be too late for me to divorce Gu Yunting after I finish your business."
She could talk about pulling the plank out so confidently that Yan Muxi didn't know whether she should persuade them to reconcile. She was very curious, "Why did the third sister insist on divorcing General Gu?"
Yan Muyun snorted coldly, "Don't mention it, I get angry just thinking about it. Forget it, I'd better tell you. It's really uncomfortable if you don't talk to anyone."
Yan Muxi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yan Mujun glared at her unhappily and talked about the reason for her divorce from Gu Yunting.
Half a year ago, a captain under Gu Yunting died in battle while saving him. Not long after, his wife Yingniang, who had been married to him for less than two years, traveled thousands of miles to the northern border with their young children.
Gu Yunting felt guilty for his subordinate who died for him, so he settled Yingniang and the child in Dingzhou and raised the mother and child with both money and effort.
Yingniang expressed her gratitude for Gu Yunting's care and often sent homemade food and other items to the camp and the mansion.
Yan Muyun didn't care about it at first, and even thought that Yingniang was grateful. It was not until she heard people discussing it in private that she started to pay attention to the matter.
Surprisingly, he found out that Yingniang not only sent food, but also gave Gu Yunting handmade clothes, and even underwear, shoes and socks.
As a modern person, Yan Muyun didn't think there was anything wrong with giving clothes as gifts, but this was in the conservative ancient times. Yingniang gave Gu Yunting clothes made by herself, and one could tell with a simple guess that her purpose was not pure.
Yan Mujun was not the type of person who liked to hide things, so she argued with Gu Yunting that day.
Gu Yunting explained that he did not wear the clothes made by Yingniang, and gave them all to the soldiers under him.
Yan Muyun felt that what he did was foolish and indulgent. Since he felt that Yingniang's behavior was inappropriate, he should have made it clear to her instead of condoning her inappropriate behavior out of guilt.
Gu Yunting said vaguely that he would make things clear with Yingniang. Yan Mujun was overwhelmed by the affairs of the wounded soldiers' camp, so she did not pursue the matter further.
Unexpectedly, two months later, not only did Gu Yunting not send Yingniang away, he also brought the mother and son from the house outside to the general's mansion.
