"That's not a problem. Although the planting volume in Lin'an is small, it is enough for the initial operation. The main reason for letting you move to Lin'an is safety. If you want, you can even bring your family with you."

Ran He explained patiently.

Leaving their familiar hometown is undoubtedly a big challenge for them.

The love for hometown is too deep to let go.

Ma Zhi slammed the table cheerfully and said resolutely: "I am willing to go to Lin'an."

Ran He waved his hand again, "Don't worry, don't worry. Go home and discuss it with your mother first. Just let her know your decision before we leave."

After leaving Ma Yongbo's house, Ran He and Wu Xu walked slowly through the village, heading out of the village, looking at the rolling hills and the cotton and hemp fields in the fields.

“Those unused hills at home can finally be put to use.”

Wu Xu sighed.

"I think this is not enough. We will buy a few more hills later."

Ran He already had long-term plans in mind.

In the past, we were limited by funds and could not expand our scale.

Now that she has financial support and the business has bright prospects and is sure to make a profit, she naturally does not want to hesitate any longer and is determined to give it a try and show her skills.

"it is good."

A determined smile appeared on Wu Xu's lips, and he expressed his agreement without any hesitation.

There was an unquestionable power in his voice, as if he was full of confidence in the future. "You are the boss, why don't you stop me? If the money goes down the drain, I will become a money-loser."

This was said half jokingly and half seriously, but it also revealed a hint of worry about unknown risks.

Wu Xu's thin and attractive lips curled up slightly, forming a charming arc. His deep eyes seemed to be filled with warm sunshine, tenderness and doting at this moment. He responded with a low and pleasant voice, like the sound of a plucked string: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of you."

These words were like a spring breeze, blowing away all the haze of anxiety.

Ran He raised her head, her crescent-shaped eyes sparkling with light, and she smiled at him. That smile was like a newly blooming flower, bright and moving.

"Your goal is really ambitious."

There was a hint of admiration and a hint of teasing in her words, and she was obviously touched by Wu Xu's boldness and confidence.

Wu Xu raised his eyebrows, a sly light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "My wife, why don't you give me a chance to show my ability and let me feel the feeling of worrying about you."

There was a hint of teasing and sincerity in his words, and he seemed to be full of expectations for the future.

Ran He patted his shoulder gently, and said teasingly but tenderly: "Brother, if you want to turn things around, you have to work harder."

There was encouragement in her actions, as if to say, no matter what the road ahead holds, we will walk together.

The sky gradually darkened, like ink slowly spreading across rice paper. Yan Yi, Yan Ba ​​and others returned to their homes one after another like birds returning to their nests.

Yan Yi's voice was clear and powerful as he reported, "I have found out that the weaving chamber of commerce in Zhiyun County was led by Xu Mo, the new head of the Xu family, and several other weaving workshops responded positively. Usually, there is fierce competition among these families, and some of them have very tense relationships, but I don't know what magical power Xu Mo used to bring them together."

He paused and continued, "Xu Mo is well-known outside. He is honest and loyal in business. Everyone who has worked with him praises him. Even the heads of several other weaving workshops are convinced by him. He has almost become a role model in their hearts. In addition, although the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce require the consent of everyone, in fact, everyone tacitly understands that most people act according to Xu Mo's ideas. After all, he is the most important and influential person in the Chamber of Commerce."

"Xu Mo..." Ran He whispered the name softly, his expression becoming serious and deep, "It is indeed not to be underestimated."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xu turned his gaze to Yan Ba, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

"I checked here and there, but didn't find anything major. Over at the Weiwu Escort Agency, everything is normal, there's no unusual movement."

Ran He pondered for a moment, frowning slightly, as if he was calculating quickly in his mind.

"So much cargo wouldn't disappear for no reason. Tonight, you guys go to several major merchants, especially the Xu family's warehouse, to investigate. Maybe you can find some clues."

Yan Er continued, his brows revealing a bit of helplessness, "Even if we go, we won't be able to recognize it. Those fabrics are untreated, the colors and shapes are similar, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish, unless..."

There was a suggestion in his words, but he didn't say it explicitly.

Those unfinished cloths were all white with no color distinction. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to identify them, unless you brought along someone from Majia Village who was familiar with the characteristics of these cloths.

"Look carefully to see if there are any special patterns on those coarse cloth and cotton cloth."

Ran He handed him a mark. The pattern on it was simple but unique, like some kind of ancient totem, with special meaning.

Yan Er took the mark and recognized its origin at a glance.

This mark had been seen in their own dyeing workshop, and there was even a similar mark on the door frame, which made it particularly eye-catching.

Yan Er's mind suddenly brightened up. It turned out that Ran He had already made preparations for this batch of cloth and specially had this logo embroidered on it. The original intention was to promote their own brand, but he didn't expect that it would be used for reconnaissance purposes now.

"Yes."

Yan Er answered with a firm look in his eyes, obviously understanding the next task and its importance.

Inside the Xu family mansion in Zhiyun County, the courtyard is deep and there are towering ancient trees.

Xu Mo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the towering apricot tree outside the window. The swaying shadows of the tree seemed to be telling an ancient story.

Behind him, a burly young man stood quietly, his eyes alert and focused.

"Master, someone is coming from Lin'an County."

The young man reported in a low voice.

"Keep an eye on their every move."

Xu Mo gave the order in a deep voice, his tone revealing a majesty that could not be disobeyed.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and added, "Go and send an invitation to the couple and tell them that I have something to invite them to."

"Yes, Master."

The young man took the order, turned around and left, his steps steady and quick.

---

There is peace and harmony in Majia Village.

Mo Zhu hurried into the main room and reported breathlessly: "Master, Madam, Steward Wang is awake."

Upon hearing the news, everyone stood up, with surprise and concern on their faces, and hurried out of the main room and gathered towards the room where Manager Wang was.

Manager Wang was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breath weak.

He opened his eyes with great effort, looked at the anxious and concerned crowd in front of him, and said with difficulty in a hoarse voice: "Madam, I, I didn't do a good job, I'm sorry."

"Don't say that, it's not your fault."

Ran He comforted him, his voice gentle but firm, "You take good care of your injuries, I will take care of the matter with the bandits and the goods."
